Buildings for Army Posts.
(By the Associated Press

Washington, April 30.--Before leaving
for the West Secretary Root approved
the recommendation of the War College
for the construction of various buildings
at army posts, throughout the United
States. The last session of Congress
appropriated $6,OOO.O00 for buildings and
improvements s1,OOO,0OO of which was
to be expended at Manila.
The allotment of money for the con-
struction of quarters and buildings is
not made public at this time, the reason
given being that such an announcement
previous to the letting of contracts
would cause bitter contests in different
sections of the country.
Among the constructions recommended
are
Fort Caswel, N. c., quarters for off
GERS, non commissioner staff officers and
hospital steward.
Fort Monroe, Va, artillery school
building bachelor officers quarters and
several double sets of officers quarters.

THE POWER OF BAER
He Makes Admissions That
Should Set the People
to Thinking.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York April 30.-President Baer of
the Philadelphia and Reading Railway
and the Temple Iron Company, resumed
testifying today before the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Abiding to his
testimony yesterday that he would try
to put the, price of coal up until it
reached $5, he said sales at given price
meant delivery within the month when
the order was placed.
There has been a steady incl0ase in
the consumption of coal since 1897" said
Mr.. Baer in reply to a question whether
the increase in the production of coal
since 1898 had not been enormous.
Mr.. Baer said the coal roads and coal
companies developed an agreement for
mining and distributing coal in summer
from all mines on a percentage basis
The owners of mines were willing to re-
strict the output. so the coal road agreed
to carry all coal in summer as soon as
mined. but in no case, when it was found
the market would take more were the
cars refused. Mr.. Baer said:
THE Reading Coal and Iron Company
has power to restrict the output of its
mines. AS head of the corporation
have the power to close mines.
III
that no man should mine more or less,
though there was as to the distribution
of cars in summer"
Commissioner Prouty asked Mr. Baer
if, in raising or reducing the coal traffic
Of his road for a certain month, he did
not, take into consideration the traffic
per centage as regards other coal roads,
of the month or months previous. Mr..
Baer denied that he did. His only con-
cern was about his own properties indie
pendent of all others. Replying to
further questions by various members OF
the commission NJ. Baer said the aver
age royalty paid by his company in min
ing coal was 30 to 33, cents ton
"The cost of mining coal" he said,
has been running at $1.9S a ton"
To reduce the freight rate on hard
coal to that of soft coal would destroy
the Reading Railroad.
Mr. Baer said there has never been
any meeting or agreement to make uni
t0rm freight rates for anthracite on the
ccal roads. Railroad charges. he said,
should be such as to enable roads to
earn profits representing percentage
equa' to the prevailing rate of interest
He 81 Id the capitalization of the Reading
is fair and honest that the stockholders
are entitled to a fair return on their in
vestment; that the Reading could not
reduce is hard coal freight rate and hope
to earn that return. 1t was the hope
of his administration, said to enable
he Reading Company within a year or
two to ps " four per cent on its first and
second pr rferred stock.

Parade.
fBy the Associated Press.)

st. Louis, Mo-. April 30-The buildings
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
were formally dedicated today with all
pomp and ceremony. In every way, save
one, the exercises were the success, and
this one circumstance was the weather
The wind blew fiercely from the west,
sending great clouds of dust whirling into
the faces of the troops as they marched
past the President and at times so nearly
binding the President that it was well
nigh impossible for him to see across the
street upon which the troops were
marching.
Added to the discomfort of the wind
and dust was temperature which sought
for the marrow and generally reached it.
Ladies, who on the strength of the warm
weather of yesterday came in summer
dresses to the reviewing stand Uttered
keenly, and but for the thoughtfulness
of officers commanding the guard thrown
around the reviewing stand, who pro-
rided them with blankets, many of them
would have been compelled to leave the
place Both President Roosevelt and ey-
PresidenH Cleveland remained in the re-
viewing stand exposed to the icey wind
their faces were blue and their limbs
stiffened by the cold.
Despite the heavy handicap, however,
the ceremonies proper were splendidly
handled and the programme was carried
out to the letter.
The. parade, which took place in the
morning was somewhat longer in passing
the President than had been expected, but
he was fifteen minutes behind the sched-
uled time whel he was escorted by the
committee into the Liberal Arts building.
In order to arrive even as early as that
he was compelled to take his noon day
meal under somewhat uncomfortable cir
cimstances.
During the lunch the food was placed
on a rectangular counter and the Presi-
dent. like everybody else "helped him
SELF The crowd inside the tent was
dense when the President, with secret
service men and Adjutant General Cor
bin forced hi sway to the counter. He was
so closely pressed that when he attempt
ed to move his arm his elbow disturbed
cup of coffee held by General Corbin.
With some difficulty the officers forced
the crowd to allow the distinguished
guest elbow room, but they would allow
him nothing more. This maneuver forced
the Adjutant General out of the range of
the sandwiches, but the President de-
voted one hand to passing food to his
escore while the other was devoted to his
own advantage. Owing to his advanta-
geous position the President soon felt
called upon to help out his friends, and
lie was kept busy passing plates. which
service he performed with alacrity and
eheerfulness.

gestion that State constitutions were not
left unmentioned in paragraph 1879 by
accident In determining whether a court
of equity can take jurisdiction one of the
first questions is what it can do to en-
force any order that 1t may make This
is alleged to be the conspiracy of the
State. although the State is not and could
not be made a party to control its ac-
tion by any direct means, and if we leave
the State out of consideration, the court
has as little practical power to deal
with the people Of the State in a body.
The bill imports that the great mass of
the population intended to keep the
blacks from voting To meet such intent
something more than ordering the plain
tiff's name inscribed upon the lists of
1902 will be needed. If the conspiracy
and the intent exist a name on a piece
of paper will not defeat them Unless
we are prepared to supervise the voting
in that State by officers of the court, it
seems to us that all that the plaintiff
could get from equity would be an empty
form Apart from damages to the ia
dividual. relief from a great political
wrong, if done as alleged by the people
of State and the State itself, must be
given by them or by the legislative and
political department of the government
of the United States"
Justice Harlan's dissent from the
courts opinion was based on the ground
that as an amount exceeding $4,000 was
not involved the Circluit court had no
original Jurisdiction of this case, and
that the Supreme court had no right
where this want of jurisdiction appeared
to go into the merits. He said he agreed
with Justice Brewer that the courts
were entitled to give relief in such cases
as this. Justices Brewer and Brown in
a dissenting opinion, written by the
former, held that as there was a con-
stitutional question involved the court
should look beyond the certificate of the
lower court that the bill had been dis
missed for want of jurisdiction, and open
the case for full inquiry. The dissenting
opinion added:
Neither can l assent to the PROPOSE
tion that the case presented by the
plaintiffs bill Is not strictly a legal one
and emitting a party to judicial hear
ing and deciion. He allege that he i
citizen of Alabama, entitled to vote;
that he desired to vote at an election for
representative in Congress; that without
registering he could not vote, and that
registration was wrongfully denied $50
by the defendants. That many others
were similarly treated does not destroy
his rights or deprive him of relief in the
courts. That such relief will be given
has been again and again affirmed IN
both national and State courts"
