FIGHTING
NEAR WATERLOO.

Eighty miles from the battlcflclo
of Waterloo, where Napoleon was
crushed 100 years ago yesterday d
French army is hurting itself against
the Germans before Lens, In one OF
the greatest battles since the fight
ing on the Marine. More shells are
crashing against the German posi-
tons every hour than Napoleon used
in the whole of that historic battle.
Napoleon's army at Waterloo con-
sisted of 71,94T men, d mere hand
full compared with the forces that
grips around Arras.
Less than year ago preparations
were afoot in England to celebrate
the centenary of the Battle of Wa
terloo by purchasing the famous field
and dedicating it as a perpetual
memorial, but the anniversary, with
the battle field in the hands of the
Germans passed almost unobserved

CAN JUDGMENT
BE ENFORCED?

1t has been suggested that there
are numbers of ways open to the
Supreme court for compelling obedl-
ence to its judgment against West
Virginia, in the case of the present
State against her offspring. One IS
that the Supreme Court could seize
the tax collecting machinery of the
State and levy a tax sufficient 20
meet the amount of the courts YER
dict. Another would be to put under
the hammer enough of West Virginia 5
assets such as courthouses and school
houses to meet the indebtness." BIT

Pilot, it is by no means certain that
West Virginia will voluntarily dis.

pie as is assumed by some. No man
danlus can be laid on the Legislature
as to the taxes it shall impose nor
can the buildings used in administer
ing the State government be made
liable to satisfaction of an execution.
There is no constitutional or statnl-
tory provision setting forth how the
Federal tribunal may give effect to
a judgment rendered in favor of one
State against another. There are,
however, well supported presidents,
established by Chief Justices Marshall
and Story, under which the procedure
of enforcement is limited, and there
fore it was that in the litigation grow
ing out of the readjustment acts Of
1882 no attempt was made by the
Supreme Court to dictate to the
General Assembly what legislation It
should or should not adopt, nor was
any step taken to levy on the State
Capitol or other public buildings, but
remedy for the holders of tax-recel-
vable coupons was confined to pro-
cesses against the Acknowledgement,
Auditor and Treasurer to compel
their performance in compliance with
the orders of the courts. The case
of South Dakota against North Caro-
lima is referred to as pointing out the
way by which West Virginia may he
brought to book. In that instance the
plaintiff State sued for the payment
of certain road bonds, the greater
part of which North Carolina had pre-
viously compromised. The Supreme
Court awarded judgment-though by
the close vote of 5 to ard entered
an order that if North Carolina did
not pay the claim 100 shares OF the
railroad stock owned by that State
should be sold to satisfy the claim.
But here the plain distinction arises
that execution was served on pro-.
pertv of North Carolina held as all
investment and in no sense an es-
sential or adjunct of the machinery
of government. If West Virginia is
the owner of railroad bonds or stock
mines or lands not already dedicat~
ed by the Constitution or statutes to
some such public purpose as educa-
ton, then no doubt would exist OF
the rightful power of the court TO
subject it to levy. But as the matter
stands, we are not inclined to hope
that West Virginia has exhausted
her resources for interposing delay in
settlement of moral obligation now
made legal. con the face of things
says the Times-Dispatch, "the decl-
sion of the Supreme Court Of the Unit
United State, upholding the findings
of the late special master, Charles
r. Littlefield, would seem to be final
but doubt, sharpened by experience,
fingers still"

SINKING OF
THE ALABAMA.

Fifty-one years ago today a due
took place in the English Channe
between the Confederate States
steamer Alabama, Captain Raphae
Semmes, and the United States gun
boat Kearsarget, Captain John A
Winslow, which resulted in the sink
ing of the former. Captain Semmes
escaped ON the British yacht Deer
hound, and the members Of his crew
were picked up by other boats which
were nearby. The fatalities OF both
ships were small. This memorable
naval battle took place off Cher
bourg, France, or a Sunday morn
ing. The Alabama had taken refuge
in the French port. after making g
voyage from the Straits Of Sunda.
Some newspapers who have printed
articles on the anniversary Of the
destruction of the "scourage Of the
seas" as the Alabama was called II
the North, fail to give material de-
tails in connection with the naval
battle, and ascribe to Captain Wins
low all the credit OLA great victory
According to Captain Semmes's book,
"Four Years Afloat," published al
ter the war, the odds were against
the Confederate commander. HIS
shin never was match for a man
of-war. but was built for service as
priyateer, to run from vessels OF
superior calibre. The Alabama nae
been blockaded at Cherbourg by the
Kearsarge, and it was known that
CAPTAIN Semmes must go out and
fight or intern his ship. Captain
Winslow had in the meantime vlrtu
ally. made an ironclad out OF the
Kearsarge by placing heavy chains
around the upper part of his vessel.
When it was seen that the Alabama
was about to accept Captain WINS
lows challenge, many steam yachts
hearing crowds Of sightseers went
from French and English nearby
ports to witness the encounter.
CAPTAIN Semmes in his description
of the battle says the Kearsarge
was struck twenty-eight times, ana
one she'll it will be, remembered lodged
near her sternpost but failed to en-
plode. This missile was sawed out OF
the vessel after her return home ana
is now in some museum. Captain
Semmes attributed his defeat to the
fact that his ammunition was defec-
tive. damp, and would not explode
He calls attention to placing the
shell near the sternpost of the kear-
sarge and says had it exploded the
Kearsarge would not have emerged
victor; alho hiatt had the kearsarge
not been encased in chains some OF
.Cnc twenty -elSul SliOlS "hi>ii SStS ~''
their mark would have sent her to the
bottom.
The Alabama was built at Birken-
head opposite Liverpool against the
protest of the United States Ambas-
sador to England and during her car
rees destroyed about eighteen million
dollars worth of American shipping.
At the close of the war the United
States demanded reimbursement
from England. The latter was ut
first inclined to laugh at the claim,
but the British government eventual
ly-concluded to pay the bill, as war
with the United States would have
been costly, especially to English
shipping.
