is AGAINST RAUERS
JUDGE sPEER'S DECISION IN THE
LIGHTHOUSE CASE.
GOVERNMENT MAY PROCEED
BUT MIR. RAUERs' RIGHTS MUST DE
PROTECTED.

New Set of Commissioners Author
lied to Pass Upon the Question OF
the Value of the Property That the
Government Desires for a Light
house ON st. GATHERINGS Island.
Jacob Rnuers' Game Preserve--If
Finding Does Not Satisfy, Case
Must Go TO IA Jury.
Macon, June 19.-Judge Speer has
rendered a decision for the government
in the case of the United States
against Jacob Rauers
1t will be recalled that the govern
ment has been trying for a long time
to get small part of the island OF ST.
Catherine, as a site for a light house
Mr.. Rauers objects to having a light
house on his island on the ground that
it will destroy it's privacy and prac-
tically destroy it as a game preserve.
The government has been insistent
i'm the matter, however, and sometime
ago 1t began condemnation proceed
ings. Commissioners We're appointed.
and they assessed the damages at
100000. OF course the government did
not care to pay that amount, particu-
larly as the entire appropriation for
land and light house was only 500. 900
Therefore the government undertook to
have the award set aside, and a new
set OF commissioners appointed to
value the land desired.
MIR. Rauers' Plea.
To these nrocaadirus NJ ro.,,n.-
plead that the finding of the commits
sioners had been unexcepted to. and,
therefore, had the force and effect of
a Judgment of award of 100000, and
commended that the court had no power
by an ex parte order to avoid the eff
feet of this award: That If it were
competent for the government to dis
miss its proceedings whenever the
award OF the commissioners was unsat-
isfactory, there would be no end to
litigation, and much more to the same
effect.
Judge Speer evidently gave very
careful consideration to the points
raised, but came to the conclusion that
the government is not forever barred
from establishing the lighthouse on st.
GATHERINGS Island, unless ii pays Mr.
Rauers the 100000 awarded by the
commission that was appointed to value
the land desired by the government
for lighthouse purposes The court
overruled the plea in bar, and gave the
government the right to proceed, but
said II must do so in a way that will
protect Mr.. Rauers' rights. The court
said: IF after the commissioners who
may be appointed in this proceeding
have made their finding, either party is
dissatisfied, the question must be sub
mitted to jury, as pointed out by the
statute, and there must be an end of
the controversy"

CLEVELAND DENIES A
PUBLISHED INTERVIEW.
Declares He Did Not Make state
ments Attributed to Him.

Princeton, N. j., June borrower
Cleveland, on being shown the alleged
interview reported by Mr. Bailey of
the Galveston News, made the follow
ing statement to the Associated Press
correspondent to-day;
Il don't know whether Mr.. Bailey
intended 1t or not. but he has given a
very erroneous impression of what oc-
CURED between us.
If had dreamed that he would at
tempt to construct an important in
terView, dealing with important sub
jects out of what was said on the &C.
casion of his visit, / would certainly
have insisted. according to my habit,
upon its being then and there reduced
to writing and submitted to me. In
stead of gaining the least intimation
of such an intention on his part, he
left me without the least hint that
had been interviewed for publication.
"All | care to add is that the SUBJ
stance of the interview as published
is In some respects grossly Inaccurate
There are statements in 1t attributed
to me that l certainly would not have
made to a person no nearer to me and
no more in my confidence that Mr.

Knox Is Relied Upon to StraiGhten
the Matter Out.
Washington, June 19.-Except to an
nounce that THE Galveston matter is
in the hands of the Attorney General
and nothing on the subject will be
said by this department" Secretary
Moody refused to discuss to-day's cab
met meeting or the probable action of
the department in view of the revised
opinion of ATTORNEY General Knox He
desired to be placed in the attitude of
saying nothing on the subject, and he
requested Rear Admiral Bowles, who
advanced the contention regarding the
rights of the government, to be equally
mindful Of the Presidents wishes as
to silence on the subject.
Modification of the Attorney Gen
erals opinion, which, in it's unrevised
form already had been communicated
to Secretary Moody, somewhat disar-
ranges for the moment the programme
of the department as to a show of
force. The President thinks a show
of force under the circumstances will
be inexpedient, and the Navy Depart
ment, therefore, must content itself
with awaiting the advice of the De-
partment of Justice in the matter.
Meanwhile il has instructed sits agents
at Richmond not to interfere with the
order of the court until specifically in
structed by the department.
1t was learned to-day that all the
workmen employed by the Trigg Com
pany left the yard when the compIny
when into the hands of a receiver, and
the government is experiencing some
difficulty in securing laborers. This
will prevent the vessel being ready for
launching next Monday, and ii is hop
ed the Department of Justice in the
meantime will have prevailed on the
local court officials at Richmond to
withdraw from what 1t regards as their
Illegal position.
Secretary Moody to-day requested
the Attorney General to instruct the
proper district attorney to enter into a
stipula ton regarding the cruiser Chat
tanooga, which has been attached by
creditors of the New York Shipbuild-
ing Company, that the governments
rights may be adequately protected.
Secretary Moody will take no action
for the present on the appeal of Rear
Admiral Bowles for troops to protect

KEENE STILL FIGHTS
THE HARTMAN CROWD.
Declares Union Pacific Is Squeezing
the Southern Pacific.


Cincinnati, June 19.-Contrary to the
report that a compromise has been eff
fected in New York between the Ksene
and Hartman interests, and that the
Southern Pacific Railway suit had been
settled, brief containing sensational
allegations was fled to-day by coun-
sci Tor the appellants. The brief makes
the following allegations:
me Union Pacific and the Southern
Pacific roads being competitors. it was
a violation of public policy and for
mat reason Illegal for the Union Pa
enc to acquire and maintain control
OF the Southern Pacific by purchasing
ana voting is stock. The proof shows
that 1t is within the power OF the I'm
ION Pacific to practice abuse and dis
examinations against the Southern Pa
cific.
The proof shows that discrimination
mas been practiced in king expendi-
lures on the Central Pacific. From
the af1davits ii is shown that twice as
lnuch money has been expended from
the earnings of the entire Southern Pa
cific system of about 900 miles on
the 81 miles of the Central Pacific
ROAD, between Ogden and San Francis
CO. as mas been expected on the remain
ing S'OO0 miles, and that the imme-
dlate purpose of such expenditures is
TO make the Union Pacific line A di-
rect through route from Chicago to
San Francisco by way of Omaha and
ogden, for the purpose of making II
the main competitor in transcontinental
business of other transcontinental
lines.
The result will be to give the Union
Pacific haul over its entire line be-
tween Omaha and Ogden, and the
Southern Pacific only the short haul
between Ogden and San Francisco. in
stead of the long haul over its nam
lines from New Orleans.
It is estimated that out of about
$4S' 100000 expended for betternents
2S,OOO,O0O is now being expended on
the 81 miles of the Central Pacific be-
tween Ogden and San Francisco &c.
10000 on the Southern Pacific, between
san Francisco and Portland, and 3d.
100000 on the 277 miles between Sacra-
mento and Bakersfield. a branch of
the Southern Pacific.

panions who was recaptured, was taken

This Is true as far as it goes, but 1t does not make Dom Perignon the 'inventor" of champagne.
