| Commissioner A. w. Gilman of the
department of agriculture was at the
Capitol Saturday on matters relating
10 his office, and as usual was up to his
ewes in the business of the office and
Of the farm. In speaking of the potato
Il outlook he said that he was much con-
II cerned regarding it, and that every
L farmer should watch his potato field
closely for the remainder of the sea-
son. Mr.. Gilman's own field of 10 acres
is in splendid condition, yet he says
never did he feel so much anxiety for
| his crop and the crop throughout
Maine, as now. The farmer who mas
a crop of potatoes needs to exercise
the greatest possible care over II Tor
the remainder of the season. The
weather for the past few weeks mas
| been hot and muggy, yet with an
abundance of moisture. and as Il re-
suit the plants have grown rapidly ana
to a large size, SO that in most potato
| fields. instead of showing the rows
plainly the plants entirely cover the

i growth the stalks are very teioer'

BLOW IS DEALT TO
 TEXAS CATTLE LAW
The State Cannot Impose a Penalty On Railroads for Failure to
 Supply Cattle Cars.

Washington, April 2.-In an opinion by Justice Brown, the supreme court of the United States today decided the case of the Houston and Texas Central Railroad company vs. J. A. Mayes, in favor of the company. The case involved a claim made by Mayes against the railroad com pany on account of the failure of the road to promptly supply cars for the shipment of cattle and brought into ques- ton the validity of the Texas state law under which the claim arose. Mayes in engaged seventeen cars for the transpor- tation of 625 head of cattle to Red Rock, Oklahoma, the agreement being that the cars were to be furnished April 20 of that year.
 The cattle were driven into the railroad stock yards on the morning of that day, but the cars for their shipment did not arrive until the afternoon of the next day Mayes made a claim for damages on account of loss of weight and other injuries to his cattle to the extent of 8 per head, or $1s75, and also in accord ance with the state law for $425 as a pen alty under his contract with the railroad company. The case was begun in the district court of Llano county which awarded him the full amount of the pen alty and $500 damages. The supreme court for the third judicial district of Texas affirmed this decision. and the rail road brought the case to the supreme court on a writ of error setting up the unconstitutionality of the law providing penalty of $25 a day on each car ordered, as in the case.
 Justice Browns opinion sustained this contention on the ground the law tran scends the police power of the state and encroaches on the power of the national government to control interstate com merce. He said that the law takes no account of the possibility of accident and is too arbitrary.
 The chief justice and Justices Harlan and McKenna dissented

loaded and two out, Turner looked like easy picking After two strikes were registered against this really great major league player with bush league manner isms, he connected with a swinging bunt in front of the plate. Billiard failed to move quickly forcing Vaughan to come from behind the bat out into the diamond and field d measey hit which Turner beat out and tue game was over.
 Cleveland used two pitchers, Wood and Cadwaleder, both of whom were wild and easily solved but the Barons were unfortunate in not punching their hits.
 Birmingham used three slabmen Sallee worked the first three innings and showed rare promise. He will be a tower of strength this season. Hickman worked hls three innings in a mastery manner, a run being made off him, however, by little hard luck Billiard showed great form, aside from a little wildness and alertness in fielding his position his work was most gratifying. When it is recalled that the three youngsters were pitching against the heaviest batting aggregation in the baseball world yesterday 1t is ex- tremely pleasing to the fans to note the result of their efforts. The result of the story is told below.
