Johnson of Atlanta were before the Su-
preme Court of the United States to file
a bill of complaint against the state of
Tennessee and two copper and iron
corporations operating at Duckworth in
Polk county. Tenn, which borders on
the Georgia line.
In speaking of the suit, Attorney
General Hart said: There has never
been exactly such a case brought to the
attention of the United States Supreme
Court. This is a case where through
the operating of the roast heaps, ovens
and appliances OF these companies an
enormous injury is done to the citizens
across the Georgia line over a scope OF

Mr.. Morgan spoke with especial ref

Mr.. Morgan contended that the pro-
tocols with Nicaragua and Costa Rica
negotiated by President Mckinley were
binding on the United States. He de-
clared that the President had wilfully
violated the Spooner act, requiring him
to turn to the Nicaragua route in case
of failure to secure desirable conces-

The bill was under consideration for
three days and was amended in a
number of particulars.
Mr.. Slayden (TeXas) made an un-
successful effort to eliminate from the
bill an appropriation of $95,14S for the
maintenance of the two battalions con-
stituting the Porto Rican provisional
regiment of infantry. He had Secretary

appropriation as political, but not as
a military necessity.

tanned that patriotism could be best
developed in the Porto Ricans through
civic advantages, rather than military

had done so for term of years and to
cut off the appropriation would be a
violation of the contract with them on
the part of this government
