Montgomery October (Special) A long court struggle that has ex- tended over a period of six or seven years and which is based on a local Legislative act for the city of Mo bile. has been practically decided by Judge Thomas c. Jones of the United State federal court in re the suit of the railroad against the state of Ala bama. The question came up as a re- suit of the act of legislature reinforced by order of the Alabama railroad com mission to make the railroad enter the Gulf Terminal company depot in Mo bile rather than it's own depot
 The decision was the overriding by the federal court of all demurrers of the state.
 The statute under which the railroad commission acted put the burden of the cost of erecting the terminal on all four railroads entering Mobile. The commission, it is contended, attempt ed to put the burden on three rail- roads. The court held, as a conse- quence, tiat the local act so far as Mobile is concerned, displaces the gen
 eral authority of the commission to order a union depot elsewhere and was the oily law on the subject in
 Mobile. Tho opinion holds that at the | time of the act the Louisville and
 Nashville did not have sufficient pas 1 senger facilities, but that the railroad
 commission Was armed only with the power to reqtire the necessary facil- | ities.
 The court fufther held that even had | the order been pbeyed the effect would have been disastrous and in hindrance | to interstate business.
 | Under Judge Jones' decision the
 state is allowed 40 days in which to | respond.

 war ministers in the field seem to con- slider if unnecessary to communicate anything but his needs to the pres.- dents of the other government boards Only the palace seems to know his intentions
 The imperalist commander has not been followed by any foreigners, even the foreign controllers of the railway having withdrawn. Therefore, it is inn possible to ascertain whether reports regarding the imperial army are true Some reports say this army, upon which the dynastYs hopes depend, Is seriously disorganized. The troops have been pushed forward without having been safeguarded in any man ner which would already have meant disaster had the enemy been more cap able.
 Trains go down to the south ladened with soldiers and equipment. but they do not return. There are rumors of mutinies
 It is now said that the engine drivers. who previously were reported as hax- ing been shot for refusing to take trains forward. were really shot be- cause they proceeded, the soldiers not desiring to meet the enemy.
 The foreign engineer, Bouillard, with his staff, will go south tomorrow, and endeayor to reorganize railway traffic for Yin Tchang.
 Nevertheless, in spite of disorganiza- ton and disaffection, the army evident ly has moved steadily forward A wire less report from Hankow tonight in dicates that the imperialist and revo-. luuonary forces are already close to each other.
 Revolutionary sympathizers excuse the lack of initiative on the part of Gen. Ii Yuan Hang, the rebel com mander, by crediting him with deer laid plan to permit Lin Tchang to enter the Hupeh border pass and then cut him off. But military men credit neith- CT commander with great ability. Un- doubtedly the palace is urging the war minister forward because of the dire necessity for q prompt victory. Shonld he fail to fight, or lose his first en- gagement, there appears no hope of checking the revolt
 The moral position of the rebels is stronger than that of the imperialist9. They could lose a battle without a. com plete failure, having other cities to ral- ly around, but the defeat of Yin Tchang, in view of the wavering of troops everywhere, would leave the dynasty able to cope with the situ- ation in single province.
 It is commonly reported in PekinC that the imperial family is ready for flight. The road to Jehol. 115 miles northest of Picking, Is studded with troops. Other rumors designate | the foreign settlements in Tsien Tsin as the possible refuge.
