Waiting for the Verdict.

Boise, Idaho, July 27.--As soon as
Judge Fremont Woods instructions are
concluded, the Haywood case will go the
Jury. Not one looks for an early YER
dict. Few think there will be anything
but disagreement.
or the courts instructions there are
Is, 900 words. The defense's testimony
in support of the charge that a mine
owners conspiracy existed against the
Western Federation of Miners Is ruled
out.
The jurors are told TO ignore all &C.
counts of violence and deportations by
troops and citizens in Colorado.
II there ia circumstantial evidence
apart from Orchards testimony sufficient
TO establish Haywood guilt, verdict of
guilty must be returned.
On the surface, the instructions would
seem to favor the defense. The real fact
is they favor the Idaho law.
The judge was careful in this respect,
aud, as result, has issued instructions
that are probably the most voluminous
in the criminal history of this country.
The court read them carefully and every
Juror listened attentiyely. Summing up
the $4,000 and odd words it can be
stated that Judge Wood insisted that
the jury must convict, II at all, after
every reasonable doubt has been re-
moved, and be very infinitely analysed
what reasonable doubt is, according to
law.

THE RAILROAD RATE CONTRO'
VERSY.


A renewal of hostillities between the
State and Federal courts occurred at
Asheville, N. O., yesterday, when Judge
Lyon, presiding at term of the Superior
Court at Marion, N. O., had indicted
and brought before him ticket agents
of the Southern Railway at that place
aud Old Fort. A special locomotive
was ordered out from Marion to Old
Fort to bring the ticket agent to Marion.
The agents were placed in custody OF the
sheriff, and taken to Askeville under q
writ of habeas corpus from Judge Pitt
chsrd, as 10 the case of Wood and Will
son. Other indictments against agents,
aud also against the Southern Railway,
are to follow at once.
Gov. Glenn wired yesterday to the
States counsel that he means to adhere
to the policy which he announced from
the start, in enforcing the rate law until
it is adjudgsd to be invalid by a court
having jurisdiction to pronounce such
judgment.
Yesterdays developments at Marion
were not unexpected, as Judge Lyon on
Thursday instructed the grand jury to
bring indictments. Judge Lyon will
20 to Ashevills on Monday next to
hold a two weeks term of the court.
Friday WAS devoted in railroad circles
to preparing for the impending conflict.
President Finley and the other officials
we're engaged in long conference behind
closed doors. The railroad will enter
hsbeas corpus proceedings in the case
of the ticket agents arrested Yesterday
afternoon, and they will be taken to
Ashsville for the hearing.
A proposition was made to the railroad
last night by the States COUNSEL, repre-
senling the governor.
This was, in effect, that President
Finley issue a public address to the
people of the State, setting forth that his
company adheres 20 the position taken
by its suit in the federal court; that the
rate law is unconstitutional and void up
on the ground that its enforcement would
result in bankruptcy OF the company,
but that he deems it expedient 10 an
nouuce 10 the public that his company
will sell tickets at the rate of IA cents
mile from the first day OF August, or
from earlier date, until the first day of
November, or later.
This position by the railroad, the State
says, would yield no right or principle
which 1t has asserted in its suit, and, at
the same time, by selling tickets at It
cents it would be strictly within the rate
law OF the State. Thus all indictments,
suits, and penalties would cease, the
cases already disposed of in the State
courts would ba carried to the higher
courts, and the rate case could be de-
termined in October and put into the
Supreme Court of the United States for
fual adjudication by the first of Novem-
Der. This would be happy solution of
the whole difficulty, State counsel say,
aud result in injury to 20 one.
The indicted ticket agents at Marion
and Old Fort, and the indictments that
are to be made at Asheville next week
against the Southern Railway and its
agents, will be tried before a Judge
and petit jury, and in cases of con-

In THE Ohsncery Court OF Richmond
yesterday Judge Gtinran handed down
decree holding unconstitutional the
act of the General Assembly wherein the
clerk OF that court is vested with the
power of probating wills. Many lawyers
are unable to say with legal accuracy
what the general effect will be in the
event that the higher court takes the
same view as that given by Judge Grin
nan. Indeed, the question is of such
far-reschiDg importance that a multi
plicity of suits may possibly be entered
in every city and county in the State.
This is a most unfortunate state of AZ

THE victory of Germany over France

only to despise it before the peace of

cfept into favor. Il was bad day tor

beer grew in favor the consumption of

where nothing had ever been sold but
wine, tables were set aside for beer

SUCCEEDED by mugs of various shades Of
amber, aud the men who made the

Correspondence Of the Alexa ndria Gazette. ]
Washington, July q.
Assistant Attorney General Sanford,
who has been in North Carolina en-
deavoring on behalf OF the President to
arrange a compromise between the State
and federal authorities in the railroad
rate war, arrived in Washington this
morning to consult with officials of the
Department Of Justice. The action OF
Judge Lyon, of the State Superior
Court, at Marion, in causing the in
dictment and arrest of the Southern
Railroad ticket agents at that place
and Old Fort, it is held here, puts the
issue squarely up to Judge Pritchsrd, of
the federal court. His order of June 20
epioined the officials Of the State sand all
other persons from institutiDg prose-
cution or attempting to impose penal
ties" for failure to put into effect
the new IA cent State railroad rate
law. Whether Judge Prichard will
now proceed to punish for contempt
the officials responsible for the action
at Marion yesterday is a question.
Administration authorities here do not
Sc how he can we'll avoid taking such a
course. Owing to the high state of feel
ing in North Carolina against Judge
Pritcbard's rulings, it would be no sur
prise if the Judge would call upon
Washington for assistance in enforcing
them.
