COMPLICATED CASE.
Supreme Court Decides Question Inter
 esting Georgia and Alabama.

Supreme Court Decides Question Inter-
 esting Georgia and Alabama.
 Washington, May S.--The Supreme Court of the United States today de- cided the complicated case of the Riv- erdale Cotton Company vs. the Ala bama and Georgia Manufacturing Com pany and the Huguely Manufacturing Company.
 as to which of the States, Georgia or Alabama, the companies are citizens. The Huguely Company is the successor of the Alabama and Georgia Company which was organized in 1866 to do a manufacturing business on the Chatta- hoochee River, constituting the bound ary line between the two States. ln- corporation papers were first taken out in Alabama and then in Georgia and property was owned In both states. The business office was stated to be in Georgia.
 The litigation arose over note for $60,0O0 given in 1884. After ten years litigation in Georgia the defendants in- stituted proceedings of their own in Alabama, claiming citizenship there and denying the Jurisdiction of the Georgia courts. The Riverdale Com pany, which had acquired the property, filed a bill in the Circuit Court for the Northern District of Georgia to restrain the prosecution of the Ala. bama case. That court granted an fn-- junction but the circuit court of ap- peals for the fifth circuit reversed the finding and ordered the circuit court to dismiss the bill.
 Today's decision, which was an- nounced by Justice Brewer, upheld the circuit court and reversed the court of appeals "Evidently" he said, this defense springing from the existence of two corporations was an after thought when all other resources had failed and equity may well say that to sustain the present contention would give judicial sanction to inexcusable triiing with courts. It is always to be understood that federal tribunals are not moot courts and that parties having substantial rights must when brought into court present those rights or they may lose them"

St. Petersburg, May S.-According to dispatches to the admiralty brought to Saigon by the hospital ship Kostrome, the junction of Vice Admiral Rojest- vensky and Nebogatoff is by this time an accomplished fact. The admiralty professes ignorance of the present To- cation of the united squadrons, but in view of the long and uninterrupted voyage of Nebagotoff's division, 1t is believed his ships will spend some time in sheltered waters of the Chi nese sea, near the coast, but outside the three-mile limit in order to com plete final recoaling and other prep arations before setting out or the last and crucial stage of the voyage.

Jans Will Naf Agree

St. Petersburg. May s.-Japan has refused to agree to a definition of the limits of the war zone in Mongolia west of the present positions of the armies. Until after the Russian de- feat at Mukden and while the opera tions were confined to Manchuria the neutral zone was well established, all though claims of violation were pre- ferred by both belligerants. North of Tie Pass, Mongolia Juts east and across the railroad and the limit of the zone of histilities has never been fixed in view of the fact that the Japanese used Sinmintin to effect their turning movement against Mukden.
 General Linevitch called upon the authorities at St. Petersburg to secure a definition of the line northward and Russia made proposals that the gov- ,ernment at Pekin delimit the zone but the answers from China were evasive, Japan declining to bind herself For the present therefore, General Line- witch is free to take such measures as he deems proper to protect himself from a hostile movement in the direc- tion of Mongolia.

CHINESE EXCLUSION Law
Conference Of Labor Leaders With
the President at Oyster Bay.
Impression That Has Grown Out
Of His Recent Order.

Oyster Bay, N, Y, July 13.-Immi-
grafton to the United States and its re-
lation to the labor problem formed the
subject of a conference. Wednesday
afternoon, between the president and
two of the important leaders of or
sganized labor, Samuel Gompers, OF
Washington, and James Duncan. OF
Quincy, Mass. respectively. the presi-
dent and one Of the vice-presidents Of
the American Federation of Labor.
The conference was devoted princi-
pally to a consideration of the order
recently issued by the president regard
ing the enforcement of the Chinese ex-
clusion law. An impression had been
gained by many members of labor or
CARNATIONS that the order, to an extent
at least, let down immigration bars SO
far as Chinese are concerned. The
president assured his callers, however.
that no such construction properly
could be placed on the order, and that
he was just as vigorously opposed to
the admission to this country of Chi
nese coolies as they could be.
I'VE directed the presidents atten-
tion," said Mr.. Gompers, after the con-
ference, ito the Interpretation placed
by some persons on his recent order,
issued at the instance of the American
Asiatic association, concerning the adj
mission to the United States of Chi
nese. By many of u people and by
many Chinese that order was looked
upon as a letting down of the immi-
grafton bars SO far as the Chinese are
concerned. The president assured US
that no proper reading of the order
would warrant such an interpretations;
and that nothing was further from his
intention than that such an impression
be gotten from the order.
I'VE went over the entire matter
thoroughly, the conference being per-
fectly satisfactory to US"

WANTED FOR WIFE MURDER
John SchidlOfska, a Polish Barber,
Wanted at BELMONT Mass. for
Wife Murder.

Belmont, Mass, July 15.-Police Of
fcials investigating the murder of Mrs.
Marchina Schidlofska, of Brockton, are
anxiously awaiting news from the west,
where they have endeavored to bring
about the arrest of the woman's hus-
band, John Schidlofska, otherwise
known as John Cline, a Polish barber.
The officials have practically cleared
up the entire case SO far as the Bel
mont end of it is concerned.
State officers have established to
their own satisfaction that Schidlofska
left Boston for Los Angeles, Cal, but
they admit the possibility that the bar
Der may have changed his plans.
The state police have been informed
by the railroad officials that a coupon
from S~chidlofska's ticket, permitting
him to travel as far as Rotterdam
Junction, N. Y, has been returned. The
police have secured a number of letters
written in Polish by O woman in Los
Angeles to Schidlofska. The letters are
said to have disclosed an intimate &C
uuaintance between the two.

M. Muravieff's retirement, ostensibly

reality due to the fact that the en-
peror became convinced that the ne

MIDSUMMER INFLUENCES
They Still Govern General Trade
and Industry, But Reports are
Generally Optimistic.

New York, July 15.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Midsummer influences still govern
general trade and industry, but better
weather and crop reports make for
quite optimistic trade reports in the
surplus cereal producing sections of
the west. Very favorable reports as to
fall trade orders come from nearly all
points west of the ~Alleghenies, north Of
the Ohio river and thence westward to
the Pacific. Large, though, except in
a few cases, not record-breaking crop
yields now appear reasonably assured
in that entire region, and there is a
general agreement that fall business
already booked exceeds a year ago at
this date. Less assurance is found in
the reports from the western half of
the south, where it is feared serious
damage has been done by incessant
rains to cotton, wheat and other crops,
this partially offsetting the favorable
influences of the heavy advance in the
cotton prices.
