announcement that Vice-President and
General Manager 81 Johns resignation
had been accepted, to take effect at once,
instead of on the 15h instant, as intend
ed by Mr.. st. John, the appointment of
General Superintendent V. e. McBee, to
the dropping Of some more men in the
Portsmouth terminus of the system, ru
mors of the purchase by the Southern
Railway of the Bay Line of steamers,
owned by the Seaboard, and hints of the
Baltimore and Ohio getting into Norfolk.
1t is not known yet whether Mr.. McBae
will succeed Mr. ST. John. but the irl
preston seems TO prevail in Norfolk that
Third Nice-Pres!dent Barr, of the Atch-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe, will become
general manager of the Seaboard.
TAKE EFFECT AT ONCE.
A special telegram to The Times from
Norfolk last night says:
THE lightning struck again at Ports
mouth this afternoon. \ circular signed
by President John Shelton Williams, of
the Seaboard Air Line, was issued, an
nouncing the acceptance of the resigna-
ton of Mr.. st. John and the appointment
of Superintendent ". E. McBee as acting
vice-president and general manager. The
fact that the circular reciteS that the or
der takes effect upon its PRONUNCIATION,
anticipating the resignation of Mr.. St
John. which was to become effective jan
uary 18th, excited much comment. 1t is
considered as confirmatory of various re-
ports OF sharp differences between the
high officials preceding the resignation OF
Mr.. st, John.
IS THE SOUTHERN IN IT?
The rumor that the Bay Line has been
bought by the Southern Railway is be-
lieVed by many astute transportation men
here to be well founded, although none
pretend TO know that it is true. Those
discussing other rumors affecting the
Seaboard call attention to the fact that
Mr.. Barr. whom many believe is slated
for the place vacated by Mr.. St. John, is
a protege of President Hill who is. it is
alleged, forming a great railway combina-
ton, and believe that the Baltimore and
Ohio about to achieve their long cher
ished purpose and enter Norfolk.
The feeling among the wise is that
some great move impends."

PORTO RlCAN CASES.
Hon. John G. Carlisle Argued For
the Defense.
(By Associated Press.

(By Associated Prcss.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. I.-Attorney-Gen-
eral GriGgs resumed his argument before
the United States Supreme Court to-day
on the Porto Rican case. He insisted
that the application Of the internal reve-
nue. laws to Porto Rico would be unwisc
and in many places Improbable. a rule
of uniformity in internal taxes. he said,
could be established for application to
continguous States. being governed by
similar laws and similar conditions. but
diversity was the necessary rule as to
territories. because of diversity as to geo
graphical and racial characteristics OBJ
scrv;the in the territories.
AS to the future. he said, we must con
slider the possibility. not the probability,
of the acquisition of Egypt, the Soudan,
Central Africa, China. or a spot il the
.Antarticle circle, and the classes of peo-
pie who may at any future time be en-
titled 10 citizenship. The powers of Con-
;yress to legislate Were amply sufficient
to permit OF settlement of all such con-
tingencies.
Hon. John G. Carlisle chief attorney
for the plaintiffs, followed. In this case,
he sad. the question is not whether the
Constitution extends to the Inhabitants
of Porto Rico. but whether it extends
over the Congress- the President and the
cabinet fWhen IGiGnrIi mt takes
from one man more than il should it is
not taxation but it is taking his property
without due process of law. and giving
him no compensation for il.
There would be two Constructors he
sad. in the Interpretation of counsel on
the others side, one for States and detin-
ing the powers and caring for the rights
of citizens. and the other for the terri
tories, giving no rights.
Mr.. Carlisle undertook to show that
both direct and Indirect taNes had been
laid upon States and Territories alike
and tariff duties had been laid upon i'm
ports into the Territories as we'll as States.
Mr.. Carlisle said Porto Rico cannot be a
foreign country. for its courts send apeals
TO this body. This is. therefore, not an
import tax, but an export tax upon goods
sent out Of these States. and there are
two specific prohibitions against such ex-
port duties
If it is true that there lies this arbitrary
power III the Constitution we should be
delighted that it was not discovered for
more than Cne hundred years until we
had a great country made up of free
States and ffled with free people.

From a trustworthy source we learn
that Lord Salisbury has agreed to cede to
Russia the railway from Niu 'Chwang to

Leading financiers versed in Chinese

that Russia would get the North and

WILLIAM As ARBITRATOR.

The most interesting news relating to
the Boer war Is a Berlin rumor to the
effect that Emperor William is willing
to assume the role Of arbitrator be.
African belligerents. If there Is any
foundation for this rumor, the British
government must have lntlmated its
willingness at this time TO consider the
question Of arbitration. That the Ger
man emperor would act as mediator,
provided his offices as such were ac-
ceptable TO Great Britain, is probable
enough, since there Is much sympathy
In the empire for the Beers. If not for
their cause. but the rumor certainly
needs confirmation, before any conclu-
sons as TO It's Importance can be
formed,
Those who have followed the South
African campaign lately have noticed
that General Kitchener, instead Of
withdrawing his troops from posts they
occupy, keeps these guarding the lines
Of communication while the Beers are
making excursions into Cape Colony
and even into Portuguese territory. The
result Of this viii be that after a while
the fighting Boer forces will find them
selves on foreign territory without
much chance OF re-entering their own
country. II Kitchener's apparent fall
ure Of pursuing and capturing the Boer
commanders is due to strategic plan,
and not to inability to prevent their
progress south and east there is no
special reason why the British govern
ment should have changed its attitude
relative to arbitration, 1t is only
question Of time. when the Boer re-
sources shall have been exhausted and
conditional surrender become
necessity.

TALK ABOUT QUARANTINE.

A contemporary prints a Special"
dispatch from Denver in which the
public Is informed that the health au-
thoritles Of Colorado are contemplating
the adylsability of establishing quar-
antlne against Utah, and the reason Of
this is said TO be that smallpox has
been on the Increase In Utah ever since
the Legislature of that State repealed
the vaccination law" When that calam-
itous event happened Ii not stated. No
one here knows anything OF the repeal
Of any Utah vaccination law. But we
presume the misinformation sent out,
after being duly printed and reprinted,
win serve az irrefutable evidence in sup
port OF a pet theory Strong arguments
are often built up on just such loose
foundations,
But what about Colorado herself2 We
noticed In the Los Angeles Times Of
January 19th, special" from San
Francisco, In which II is alleged that
according to private letter from a
Californian residing In Denver, there Is
q much more serious condition In our
neighbor State, than In Utah, though
this is not charged to the repeal OF any
existing law. The correspondent says,
Colorado ~ rotten with smallpox
lie alleges that there are 300 cases In
Cripple Creek and about as many In
Denver, and that $4,000 people are sick.
The pest houses at Denver and Cripple
Creek are filled, ana one school at Gold
en- Is closed on account of the epidemic.
He adds that the outside world does
not hear much about these health con-
dltions, because "the people here are
afraid Of knocking Colorado"
This statement is important. II
proves, II true, that the health authori-
ties OF our neighboring State are doing
their duty without trying to create a
senseless scare TO the injury Of the com
munity
II IL true that Utah has not entirely
escaped the epidemic that mas swept
nearly every state Of the Union, but the
affection has been less widespread here
than in some other sections Of the coun-
try. 1t has appeared In mild form.
Vaccination has been very generally
attended to, willingly or unwillngly
particularly by children Of school age
There have been very few deaths, II
any, from the epidemic, and II ia be-
lieved that there have been less cases
OF actual varlola than some reports,
published Tor a wen understood pur-
pose, alleEe. These are facts which
would be fully established, by an Inn
partial investigation At all events,
even admitting that all the sensational
reports are true, there Is no need of es-
tablishing quarantine against Utah
ans more than there is, IL reports are
| true. agangt Colorado.

schools. The reports Of cases Of al
legged smallpox fail to show that there
has been anything like an epidemic
among school children. They have not
been afflicted as older persons have
The great majority Of cases have
been and are Of persons above school
age Yet the children who are OF the
most healthy class. gathering In build
ings under special sanitary inspection,
are singled out for the attack of these
compulsory yacolnators. and while fee
bic children, too unhealthy to be vac

compusion under another guise Ia ra-

and the most likely TO spread con-
tagion. The attack on the schools IL
void Of the slightest shadow OF com
mon sense,
The schools are now In running order.
II by any mysterious means the bin to
protect them from attack should fall,
litigation would follow Of very pro-
tracted kind, The sensational and In
accurate report OF the Secretary Of the
State board, and all the baseless ru-
mors about the alleged epidemic, and
the absolutely erroneous figures and
guesses II contains would be denied. SO
with the theories Il advances which
can be refuted by facts, The admis-
slons made in a previous case would
not be conceded in those that will come
The matter wll be fought out to the
end.
Further. The orders Of the Secre-
tary OF the State board win be found
to have no legal force or authority In
law. The schools win be kept open
where there Is no need for them to be
closed, The prevalence Of disease OF
any kind among children will be suf-
ficient to cause the adoption Of meas
ures to protect the healthy, either by
the closing Of the schools or other
measures that the local authorities
shall determine.
But II viii be found that the zone
man power" which has been assumed,
and exercised with fanaticism bor-
dering on insanity. will not be sub
mitted to by the people Of this free State,
They win not defy the law. They will
bow to all lawful authority. But they
know their rights and viii dare main
tain them. whether the present needful
measure becomes O law or not, And
they have confidence that their chosen

show that we have popular government

The suggestion Of an extra session
appears to fall upon the proceedings at
Washington With demoralizing effect
There Is a great congestion of business,
and only about 30 legislative days left
for this Congress. The promise Of a
deadlock over the tax-reduction bill Is
excellent, and the chances that some or
the appropriation bills, along with the
subsidy and other important measures
Of the majority program, may be caught
in the tangle, are nearly as good. The
threat OF an extra session usually
serves as a club to force the two houses
into harmonious and expeditions ac-
ton, but so hopeless Is the crush of
business now, In view Of the admins
trations call for Philippine legislation,
that the extra session is coming to be
