Although the fire started In the north

Alerriwether was nine months older

He will probably speak for the entire

into the afternoon session. He will re-
ply To. the argument Mr.. Meredith made In
replying to the opening address, dcliv-
cred by Mr.. Wendenburg. Mr.. .Braxton

for his reply.

lihood, answer the argument Of Mr.. An
derson. In this case Mr.. Meredith will
touch on some OF tho questions argued by
himself yesterday, and will inject many
new citations In tho separate demurrer.
City Attorney II. r. Pollard may follow
Mr.. Meredith In protesting against the
demurrer.
tbs not probable that the matter will
be given to Judge Garnett for his decis-
ion until about the middle OF next week.
1t will very likely land In the Court OF
Appeals. and this may delay 1t until the
Legislature OF 1908 convcncs. There Isl Il
possibility Of this being the case. L
In the event that Judge Garnet should
declare the law unconstitutional the COM
ing Legislature would be called upon to
remedy the defects and TO pass II bill that
would stand the test Of all the fire hcaped
upon It. And If the statute is decided to
be constitutional, the Henrico people will
take the cage 60 the Court of Appeals and
It could not reach this tribunal at its next
session. When 1t reached the docket
more than a year would have elapsed.
Looking at the matter from the facts thus
far adduced. 1t seems to be altogether
probable that 1t will be q question unde-
cIded definitely for many months.

renort in every detail of the fist fight on
sunday night last between Nlidshiprnan
James r. Branch, of New York, and
Minor Mcriw ether, Jr, of Louisiana, IN
which the former received injuries from
hich he died. 1t includes the reports
of special board summoned before
Branchs' death to investigate the matter,
the board Of inquest licd after tho
death, and special reports IRON the medl-
cal officers. The first report was the re-
suit of an investigation made BY a board
OF four officers, of which Captain George

shipmen was senior officer. The Inquest

oil: the medical officers as to 1.-The exact
causes which led to the death, and made
the unqualified declaration that Branch's
death was brought about by injuries re-
ceived in fist fight with Midshipman
Meriwether.
The surgeons report that the manner Of
the fatal injury to the brain being re-
ceiS ed is somewhat obscure, inasnuch
as there was no marks OF any kind on
the head near the affected part. Tho
report states that it may have been re-
ceived by repeated blows delivered on
the other side Of the head, Earring thu
brain against the skull. This coupled
with overeXertion and extreme excite
nlent and exhaustion, may have caused

secured there fair might be held south

people here from other States, so as to
encourage immigration. Mr.. l., O. Miller

races.

constitutional era has been ushered In
by scenes Of violent demonstration by
the people. There has been blood
shed in st. Petersburg, Moscow, War
saw. Lodz, Poltava, Dirpat, Kisheneff
and in a scoregof other cities. The
strike has not ended.
In st. Petersburg the situation Is
chaotic in the extreme. All day
yesterday crowds swelling until they
numbered at one time 200,0U0 persons
surged through the streets, violently
excited, singing the "Marseillaise," and
carrying red flags.
Other crowds, less excited, marched
through the streets singing patriotic
songs, cheering for the emperor and
carrying white flags.
Already the populace of the capital
IS dividing into two hostile camps, the
"reds" and the whites" When reds
meet white there are riots and some
times bloodshed.
The reds" are numerically of su.
perlor force. They include the socia'
democrats, the radicals, many of the
strikers and the malcontents who
would not be satisfied with any pledge
of reform the car would make.
The reds" demand more than the
car promised in his ukase. They in
