Attorney General William Ander.

question. At tine October term OF
the court the Mountain state must

move OF West Virginia will be to de-
mur to the bill. 1t this demurrer
should be sustained, the question will
have been settled, SO far as Virginia
is concerned. According to the Vir-
GINA view of the matter. she is en-
titled to something like $40. 600, 00O
from Iier delinquent sister. The
Wheeling ordinance will figure con-
spicuously in the litigation for in it
provision is made for the basis on
which West Virginia shall disch arge
her obligations to Virginia. The
obligations which are the canse OF the
present litigation represent expenses
incurred in ante. bellum days for in

age and the Increased Demand
Caused by New Settlers.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, Dec, Dec. 17-In re-
sponse to kilograms of inquiry ad-
dressed to the presidents of several
western railroads by the interstate
commerce commission as to the causes
of reported shortage of cars for trans
portation of fuel, by reason of which
great suffering had been entailed,
President Howard Elliott of the North
ern Pacific company, telegraphed tho
commission from st. Paul as follows:
There is a scarcity of fuel in some
parts of the country served by our
line. but we do not know of any
shortage Of other necessaries of life.
Our company has done and will con-
tinue to do all that it can to prevent
suffering. The company realized in
June and July last that the fuel sup
ply was likely to be inadequate and,
therefore, urged all dealers at that
time to look ahead and provide a stock
of coal early and to try to find new
sources of supply. think the reason
given in your message, namely, the
extraordinary delays in moving cars
is incorrect so far as this company is
concerned.
"1n North Dakota and Minnesota,
the difficulty in part Is due to trying
to move too much fuel in very short
time, and in part to an increase in
consumption of fuel that is greater
than the increase in facilities for
handling, moving and storing. Also
to general increase in the movement
of miscellaneous commodities, which
cannot be ignored without subjecting
ourselves to charges of discrimination.
We know of only one case on our line
in North Dakota where there has been
serious difficulty, and believe that
has been relieved. che very serious
blizzard of the last few days in North
Dakota has caused delays because of
snow blockades, and it is difficult to
move freight promptly for that Sec
ton. I will be glad if you will name
in detail any complaint in territory
served by our line, SO that we may
take up each one and the best We can
to furnish relief. We have, in num-
ber of cases, turned over company
coal to protect local demands, and we
are doing everything we can to take
care of the situation and will con-
,tinue to do So"

7S3,661 reside in the United States and
Canada. The remainder are scattered
throughout sixty-nine foreign coun-
tries, representing every corner of the
world. In the Mutual Life the total
number of policyholders is 592, 1896, of
which 457,591 live in the United States
and Canada, and tie remainder in
other parts of the world.
In the election the administration
tickets" have had an incalculable ad-
vantage, in that they have been able
to get into direct touch with the
policyholders not only in America but
throughout the world by means o,
their agents. In addition to working
through the thousands of agents the
present managements are charged
with having employed the medium o.
circularization to aid them in their
campaign to an enormous extent. At
least five circulars of various sorts,
bearing on the campaign and in sup
port of the administration tickets, are
said to have been sent out since July.
AS high as 10 cents postage has been
required to carry some of the bundles
of campaign literature thus sent out,
which means that hundreds of thou
sands of dollars Of the policyholders'
funds have been used for this pur-
pose.
To combat the electioneering work
done by the agents and other employees
of the two companies throughout the
world the international policyholders'
committee has had to depend solely
upon circulars. Since the campaign
began every policyholder in the United
States and Canada has been circular
lied four times and every foreign
policyholder three times. The COM
mittee has expended a total of nearly
100000 in this work. Were 1t not for
the fact that everybody connected
with the committee except the clerks
has given his servi, Is without com.
pensation of any kind, the expense
would have reached a figure which
would have made an effective cam
paign impossible. A famous group of
lawyers has given to the committee
free services which would have cost
an ordinary client fully $50O,000.
Among these lawyers are Alton B.
Parker, former chief justice Of the
court of appeals of New York; Rich
ard Olney, former secretary of state;
Gen. Benjamin F. Tracy, former Sec
retary of the navy, and Judge George
Gray of the United States court.
The indications on the eve of the
close Of the election are that a total
Of between 100000 and 100000 votes
will be cast. The ballots are to be
opened and officially counted tomor-
row. 1t may take two weeks to count
the ballots, and in the event of close
election, the count may be contested
in the courts.
