Rights in Mining Property.

Proceedings were instituted this after
noon in the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia to compel Thomas F. Walsh,
the mining magnate, and his wife, Mrs.

certain interrogatories of counsel at 1890

the Office of E. H. Parkins, examiner in
chancery, room 76 Washington Loan and
Trust Company building, this city Chief
Justice Clabaugh directed that subpoena
issue against Mr.. and Mrs. Walsh. Counsel
for the complainant, a firm of New York

subpoena served late this afternoon. upon
Mr. Walsh's arrival in this city by train,
and to keep the proceedings secret until
service had been secured. The papers We're
placed in the hands Of Deputy United
States Marshal Roberts.
The proceeding here Is in connection
with an action pending in the United States
circuit court for the southern district of
New York. brought by John A. Thompson
against Mr.. Walsh. Mr.. Thompson seeks
to have the proceeds of certain mines and
mining claims IN Colorado decreed to be
partnership assets belonging to himself
and Mr.. Walsh jointly, and to have an
accounting. 1t is set forth that Mrs.
Walsh accompanied the complainant and
Mr.. Walsh on a prospecting trip when the
"Oro Cache claim and others were dis
covered, and, therefore, certain facts re-
garding the property involved are within
her knowledge. Mention is also made Of
the Chicago claim and the Last Quar-
ter group of claims.
1. Mr.. Walsh denies the allegations of Mr..
Thompson as to property rights. Among
other things, Mr.. Walsh declares that Mr..
Thompson accompanied him on the Orc Ca
che claim trip merely in social way.

PROTECTION OF OYSTER BEDS
Conference Between Representatives o
Two Legislatures. -.

The conference between committees Of
the Maryland and Virginia legislatures to
plan some concert of action between the
two states to protect the oyster beds IN
the Potomac has resulted in an agreement
that will do much toward protecting the
Potomac oysters. The conferences were
held at Annapolis Tuesday and Wednesday
of last week, and it was agreed to report
to the legislatures Of the states bills, Of
which the following is a summary:
The oyster taking season Is made to be-
gin October 1 and end March Is, Instead of
September l and May 1.
The authorities of either state can pur-
sue violators of the law into the waters Of
the other state, arrest and punish them.
The size of the oyster taken from the
beds must be two and half inches and the
seizure and confiscation of vessels in vio-
lating the oyster laws is made compulsory.
An effort will be made to get the bill
through the Maryland legislature at Its
present session, but it cannot be acted upon
by the Virginia legislature for two years
unless an extra session is called.

Not Government Ownership.

Secretary of War Taft was before the
Senate committee on the Philippines today
for the purpose Of going over with the
members of the committee the Lodge
Cooper bill for the amendment of the act
providing for the administration of the af-
fairs of the civil government in the Philip
pine Islands. The hearings that have been
had by the House committee on fnsular
affairs narrowed the scope Of the inquiry
by the Senate committee, though great in
terest was manifested in the section provid-
ing for aid in railroad building by authoriz-
ing the Philippine government to guarantee
an income Of not exceeding 8 per centum
upon capital invested in the construction
and equipment of such roads. Referring to
the sections Of the bill providing for the
government building of railroads in the
event willing capital was not found to un-
dertake the projects. Secretary Taft said he
the systems. but that he had offered 1t as
an alternative, after having investigated
thoroughly the experiences of the British
government in India and the Dutch govern
naent in its colonies.
Senator Burrows inquired il 1t was not
possible to interest capital in railroad build
ing in the Philippines without government
guaranty Secretary Taft said he believed
a few links of system might be construct
ed, but not the general railroad building
that is needed for the progress Of the
islands.
