CONGRESSMAN JENKINS, Of Wiscon-
sin, chairman of the judiciary committee
of The House of Representatives, has is
saed q statement relative to the North
Carolina railroad rate imbroglio. He
SAYS there has never been any event
siuce the civil war that calls for so severe
condemnation as the recent senseless
TRADE on behalf of States against the ma
Gju. He adds that it is humiliating tina
the matter has been compromised and
that the nation has to some extent sur
rendered. The Congressman strangely
talks of another civil war, but cautious
" uses the subjunctive mood. The
southern country has patiently suffered
much during the past forty years from
military despotism, csrpetbag rule and
TIE insoleuce of negro allies of political
adventures, but in the midst of all the
people of this section have been called
upon to endure they have generally pos
sessed their souls in patience and proven
TO be law-abidiHg and submissive. The
clash between State and federal courts is
by no means as serious an issue as that
of thirty years sgo when the South was
compelled to witness the most colossal
injustice ever prac.iced upon a people
theoretically free. There was no dis
Union sentiment when the late Ruther-
ford B. Hayes, a defeated republican
candidate for the presidency, was count
el 10, nor is there likely to be diSrup-
tion should the spirit of Capitalization
of power be dominant in the railroad
issue.

TOday's Telegraphic News,
Conditions Ia Morocco.

Tapgier Morocco, Aug. with
20, 900 Moroccans in camp about Cas-
ablanca, the town 10 now virtually in
control of the native christians, who,
considerably alarmed by the prospect
of severe punishment for their massacre
of Europeans, are endeavoring to treat
with the French authorities.
The whole French colony has taken
refuge on the British steamship Deme-
tian in the hsrbor and is awaiting
transhipment TO the French wsrship.
The Moroccans did their best to pre-
vent Europeans from leaving town, hop
ing thereby to avoid bombardment By
warships In the harbor.
In an effort to placate European re-
sentiment they have dismissed the ma
tive governor, who was severely criti-
cized by foreigners for bis delay in taking
active steps TO protects European resi-.
dents and who had been warned by the
French authorities that his own life
would be forfeited If disorders occur.
The custom house, however, is in the
hands of the Moon, who have get up
kind of provincial government OF their
own. There is strong probility OF
further fighting soon.
Paris, Aug. 2.-Combiued action OF
the powers against Morocco will prob
ably be the outcome of the attempt to
start holy war 10 drive out all foreigners
and the outbreak at Osssblancs in
which at least II Europeans are known
to have been killed.
An inspired note made public today
states that there has been exchange OF
notes between France, Italy and Spain,
whose subjects were the victims of the
Cssablsncs outrage, resulting in a COM
plete understanding, the three govern
ments agreeing upon the necessity not
only of avenging the murders, but to
definitely restore order throughout
Morocco.
1t is also agreed to draw up conformity
a clearly defined and resolute plan Of
action in which it is hoped England
will join and to which Gsrmsny's
neutrality is regarded assured.
Msrseilles, France, Aug. Zone
German was among the victims killed by
Moorish natives in the attack on Casa
blanca this week. according to telegram
just received here from Tangier. The
killing Of the German may give a dif-
ferelt international aspect to the Moroc-
can sffair. It is believed that if a Ger.
man subject was. killed Germany will
now be as anxious as other nations to
punish the rebellious natives.
A late message from Casablanca says
the new governor has promised the con-
suls be will do his utmost to restore Or
der and protect all residents.
The Moorish government has admitted
to the charge d. affsires its inability to
quell the rebellious natives.

Believe BOmb was Exploded.

New York, Aug. 2.-Ipformation has
reached this port that 1t was an expIo-
sion in the hold of the North German
Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm II that
caused the death of three men and pre-.
vented the vessel from sailing on sched-
ule time.
The news was brought by passengers
on the Bremen, sister ship to the Kaiser,
which arrived today. Harry Woodruff,
an actor, says it is believed 10 Germany
that a bomb was exploded in the hold.
At the time It was explained that care
lessness 10 slowing coal had caused the
steamer to keel over. A strike has been
raging in Bremen.

Strike Imminent.

Belfast, Ireland, Aug. 2.-The strike
situation today is at its most critical
point since the trouble began. The po'
lice have not yet made known their in
tentions following the refusal of Their
demand for additional pay for the extrs
work required Of them. 1t is generally
feared, however, they will carry out theil
threat to join the strikers.
The dismissal of Constable Barrett has
only made other officers more determined
to insist on their demand. A new grave
development today is the ultimatum OF
mill employers that if the coal men
strike the mills will be closed down.
This would throw thousands of men out
of work and lead to rioting and other
disturbances.

New York's Crime Wave.

New York, Aug. Murders, out
RACES, arson, degeuerscy, 6eudish at
locities, burglary, robbery, ssssssins-
ton and every form of crime, culmina-
ting in the killing of little Katie Kits
chler BY an inhuman brute, make up
the greatest crime wave in modern his
tory which today holds New York In 8
state of terror.
Fathers fear not go to business and
mothers dare not take their eyes of their
children. The police department has
failed utterly to meet the crisis and one
official, who dared not speak for pub
LEGATION today, said he believed the out
RACES would continue to increase until
the state or federal authorities stepped
in and restored order.
The most horrible feature of the
great crime wave Is the great number
of girl children who have fallen victims
to fiends. 1t is estimated that more than
100 women and children have been at
tackled, assaulted or murdered in Greater
New York in the last SIX weeks.
In addition to these crimes the black
hand and the Armenian Hunchakists
have terrorized the town. All records
for burglary have been far surpassed and
robbery and arson have been more fire.

A DISPATCH from Big Stone Gap,
published in yesterdays Gazette, told OF
the arrest of James w. Ayers, on the
charge of stealing whisky. The young
man is a sou OF former Attorney Cen
era! of this State, who is now prospec-
tive candidate for Governor. This is
another of the many sad incidents in the
lives of prominent men since the dawn
of history. Adam had Cain to add to
the affections incident to his expulsion
from Eden Eli's absolute sons were
skeletons in his closet and added sorrow
TO the evening Of his life, and David had
his Absllom. During the past few
years the sons of many prominent men
in this country seem TO have gone to ex-
tremes in bringing as much sorrow as
possible to those who, unfortunately, are
allied to them by blood relationship.
Such conduct is cruel on the part of
progeny even in cases where their sires
are not prominent in a city, State or
nation, but soDs of ministers or promi-
nent public men too often cause vicarious
suffering by their thOughuess acts which
the reproductive power of the memory
will cause them to reflect upon in their
more mature years when long-suHering
parents shall have laid down the burdens

KOREA has. from present appearances,

KOREA has, from present appearances,
met The fate of Poland 1t is no longer
an independent country, but is now SUBJ
iect to the Mikado of Japan who has
appropriated it to himself against the pro-
test of the representatives of the hermit
empire as we'll as most of the rank and
file of that nation. This absorption has
been carried on, too, while so.called
peace conference is in session at The
Hague. Japan has almost imPoVeriSh-
ed herself in conducting two wars IN one
decade. After her conflict with China
she failed to acquire an inch Of territory,
and by the terms of the treaty OF Ports
mouth the Mikado was not allowed TO
extend his domains at the expense OF
Russia or China. Now, after the sword
has been returned to the scsbbsrd and
peace prevails in the East, diplomatic
attack is made by the Mikado upon q
friendly and peace-loviDg kingdom, the
people of which are told 10 stand aside
and let The island empire rule them in
future. Many observing people are In
clined TO think that Japan's prominence
will prove meteOrlike; that the nation is
intoxicated by reason Of recent successes,
and that the country is liable to bite Oh
eventually more than it can chew. The
Mikado will for time have his hands
full in keeping the Koreans in subjec
tion, while his country is laboring under
an enormous national debt with its
financial condition giving apprehension.
These things, however, may prove bene-
fetal to the world, as they, 10 measure,
will bind the MiksdO over to keep the
peace and deter the Japanese from be-
coming too mischievous.

OPPOSES PRITCHARD.

Justice Ernest Gray, of the Supreme
Court OF South Carolina, yesterday in
the case of w. G. Geraty against The
Atlantic Coast Line Railway Company,
delivered an opinion involving states
rights in direct opposition to recent
opinion of Federal Judge j. Pritchard
in a similar case.
The case is one for damages against
the Atlantic Coast Line for over 81, 600.
Relying upon the decision of Judge
Pritchard in the case of Lea VS.. the At
lautic Coast Line, in which IL was held
that the defendant corporation was not
to be considered a domestic corporation
of South Carolina, but Virginia corpo-
ration, and properly within the jurisdic-
ton of the United tales courts in such
cases alleging damages, the railroad con-
tended that the defendant is not a cor
poration organized under the laws of the
State of South Carolina, as alleged in
the complaint.
Judge Gary held that this railroad
company is South Carolina corporation.
If it is not domestic corporation, then
be holds "the operation of its railroads
in South Carolina is unlawful.
Judge Gary holds that the Atlantic
Coast Line Company was formed by
merger subsequent to the enactment Of
the constitution of 1905, and, therefore,
is operating in this State under charter
given by the State; that, otherwise, it is
trespasser and has no right within the
State. he declares a demonstrated COL
poration" to be foreign corporation,
which has become practically the same
as a domestic corporation, and insists
that the laws Of the State apply equally.
UNFOLDING the rights Of the individual
States against the encroachment on these
rights by federal legislation, Governor
Hanly, Of Indians, in q speech delivered
at Elkhsrt to the Ohautaqus Assembly
Wednesday, took occasion 10 speak for
conservatism 10 dealiog with the prob
lens of the country. 1t is thought most
of them we're problems that the State
could solve without the intervention and
help Of the national government, and be
deprecated the reaching out Of the fed
ersl arm into purely State matters.

Revoked southern Railway License.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. = Secre'
tsry of State Frank n. Julian has re-
yoked the license of the Southern Rail-
way to do business in Alabama because
of the alleged violation Of law passed
by the last legislature, preventing foreign
corporations from transferring suits
against them from state courts to federal
courts. 1t is charged that the railway
secured the transfer of damage suit in
Tallsdega county.
As the Law has been declared uncOn-
stitutional bys federal judge, many
complications mas arise and it is feared
that trouble similar to the North Caro-
lima case NAV develop.

Philadelphia, Ps. Aug. Equity
proceedings were begun in the Unite
States Court today by the Washington
Alexandria and Mount Vernon Railway
Company which operates an electric
line between Washington, d. O., and
Mount Vernon, Va, against the
Real Estate Trust Company of this
city, asking that the Trust Company

certain of its bonds or from bringing any
suit upon these bonds or coupons which
1t is claimed should have been cancelled
by President Frank K. Ripple, who ON
mitted suicide when the insOlvent
condition OF the bank became known,
and who instead of doing so, manipu-
lated them for his own personal gains.
The complainant states that it has de-
manded certificate that the bond issues
dated July 1, 1892, and August l, 1895,
have been cancelled, but that the trust
company has refused to comply, holding
the bond as collateral for the two notes
