New Railroad at Fort Scott Claims to
Be Independent.

While it is not vet officially determ-
ined there are plenty of reasons to be-
lieve that the St. Louis, Kansas City &
Colorado railway line Will be built to

Of the GoOdlander hotel this morning,
and authorized the issuance Of $4,000.
900 worth Of bonds for the purpose Of
taking up the old mortgage indebted

President Scullin was seen after the
meeting and asked as to the rumors
that the line would connect with the

that it was a Santa F'e scheme He

favorite reasonings, should such be
known The court is conceded to be
constituted OF men of ability and legal
intelligence, and above impeachment.
There is criticism on this method to
the effect that judicial bodies work bet
ter when they are stable and get used
to one another. that the constant
changing of personnel in the hearings
takes smOothness away.
But the lawyers greatest objection
to the divided court is that it is ina
possible to secure a hearing by the
whole bench by any appeal or agree
ment. That is. the whole bench does
not hear a case unless there is a dis
sension on the oeach. The chief jus
tice cannot grant a hearing by the
whole bench. The lawyer cannot file
his case with the understanding that 1t
shall be heard by the whole bench.
When the bench vas enlarged to seven
Justices it was thought that the more
legal wisdom there was expended on
case the nearer to exact justice would
the decision be. But three men In either
division determine case. Rule
reads.
Hearings en- banc.-Such cases only
as may be ordered to be heard by the
whole court shall be considered by al
the justices; and no application for
such hearing SHAH be entertained by
the court, a division. or Il justice, or be
received or filed py the clerk"

COAL COLOSSUS.
Morgan Will Combine All BIZ
luminous Mines of the East

Cleveland, O.. July 2.-The Leader
says:
Before the first of September all of
the big companies producing bitumi-
nous coal will have been gathered into
one organization similar to the United
States Steel corporation The capitali-
cation will be enormous. probably Sec
ond only to that of the big steel trust.
From what can be learned. work up
on the big coal trust has been under
way for a greater length of time than
any of the other industrial combina-
tons
J. r. Morgan, the advocate Of coan
ton first started ia with his coal COM
binations three years ago, making the
first movements along the line of con-
trolling the products OF the Ohio and
West Virginia fields. At that time he
obtained complete control of the min
ing property in the Hooking and Shaw
nee valley. In order to give an outlet
for the coal he purchased certain rail-
road properties and this started the
combination mania along the line OF
railroad ownership.
The proceedings in the present com
binatiOn are similar to those in the
formation of the steel trust
Along with this organization will go
also the coal docks and fast loading
plants that are now owned BY the var
this is to effect a complete monopoly
of the bituminous coal production in
the territory east Of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio and Potomac. To the
accomplishment of this end Mr.. Morgan
is said to have given himself without
reserve and will take it up as soon as
he returns from Europe.

Fairness in Hearing.

Kansas double barreIled supreme

the conclusion OF the July term next
Saturday, when a large list of import

close of the fiscal year, June 80, 1901. the
debt, less cash in the treasury, amount
ed to S., 044, 739. 100, a decrease during
June of 81, 737, 374- This decrease is ae-
counted for in the main by an increase
in the cash on hand.
The debt is recap itulated as follows:

since maturity. s1.415,620

clude $771. 754 6s9 in certificates and
