Hands Down an Opinion In the Rail road Cases. Judge Simoaton'o opinion la the tax a-iuessment case. In which h5 granta an Injunction agalnat the cor poration commission, Auditor and Treasurer to prevent the tax levied for 1803 from being collected oa the Southern, Seaboard Air Line, At lantic Coast Line and Atlantic and North Carolina railroads, and dlrect3 that the aaseisnient of 1897 eh all stand, Is a long one, making fivo newspaper columns. The allegation by the railroads was that In making the as-ejament, the corporation com mission had exceeded Its p.owcr; that the mode o! assessment waa eo dif ferent from that aa to other pronerty as to there being equal protection of law; that there u systematic undar valuatlon cf property other than rall- rcvl property and that railroad property Is valued higher than , that or Individuals. The questions raised are Federal questions, under the fourteenth amendment. Each case de pends upon the construction and ap plication of the II. S. constitution. If tho Btakutcs under which the cor poration commission acts conflict with the United States constitution, then the commission end State offi cers, Gcting under Its proceeding, may be enjoined. The question as to whether tho commission has power to levy assess ment on the property of railroads is decided negatively. The act of 1891 creating ihe railroad commlssicn. gave It no power to levy assess ments. That act vas effective in April, whllo the machinery act of 1SDI, which gave power to the com mission to assess. wa3 ratified in March. It therefore amended the commission act. It would be an "nomaly If the amending act should rccede the act amended. The legis lature of 1S99, In creating the cor poration commission, declared that it should perform all duties and exer cise the powers Imposed upon the railroad commission by chapter 32, acts of 1391, but that chapter con fers no power to assess. Chapter 637, acts of 1897, authorizes the rail road commission, corporation com mission, or such board as shall suc ceed to their duties, to assess prop erty which has escaped taxation. This act recognizes the existence of the railroad commission and its powers and leaves to inference entirely the idea that one is substituted for the other. If no other act creates the corporation commission into a boa.rd of appraisement and assessment of railroad property, this act cannot do go by indirection. It must be borne ti mind that the legislation now . cr discussion is not remedial l.; Lsbtlcu. !a conclusion the Judge says that oa the whole the conclusion cannot be resisted that either intentionally or accidentally the corporation com mission was not clothed witn vne power cf appraising and assessing railroad property, and that its at tempted action, herein complained cf, is without authority oi law. Saturday Clerk of Court Riddle!: received Judge Simoriton's opinion In the above case. The proposed as sessment would increase the rail roads' assessment $9,000,000. It is construed here that the decision means an injunction granted until a hearing. The clerk sent the opinion (12 pages) to a printer, so as to have it ready Monday morning. It is to be regretted that this con clusion renders unnecessary the dis eu.si:on cf the mcrit3 of the case, presented so ably and fully by coun sel on both sides. The conclusion reached, while it stops the hand of the court, now simply postpones the rtpHsion on the grave questions un derlying the case. This postpone ment, however, will not operate to excuse the complainants from the payment of taxes. The provisions of the revenue act of 1897 arc in full force and taxes therein provided must be paid. SCHLEY IN ATLANTA. The Hero Cf Sanliao Welcomed In The Gate City. MURDER IN WILKES COUNTY.

In the party besides the admiral were Mrs. Schley, MI33 Latterman, Cen. i-'clix Agnus and Mr. Louis Garthe of Baltimore and the Atlanta recep tion committee. After a short feception at the Kim ball house the ladies and gentlemen of the party were escorted to the State- capltol where they were met by a great crowd of people, on the capitel grounds and were welcomed In the governor's reception room by the chief executive. United States Senators and Congressmen, judges of ths supreme bsnch and others. From here they were escorted to the hall of the house of representatives.

The Occurrences Are Seen la a Bright er Light. After the Official Report Come In. Leaden, By Cable. The War Offic? has received a dispatch from General White, commanding the BrU'i.h forces at Ladysmith, reporting that the Royal Irish Fusileers, No. 10 Mountain Bat tery and the Gloucestershire Regi nisnt, were surrounded in the hills by the Boers and, after losing heavily, were obliged to captulate. General White says that the casualties have not yet been ascertained. It is report ed that 2,000 British were captured. .sw our sm. AS BAD AS ANANIAS London, by Cable. The British War Office has made public a dispatch received from General White, describ ing the operations of Monday. It was as follows: -Ladysfith, Oct 31, 7.50 p ra.

For the past year, under instructions from the President, the State Depart ment has biv;n quietly 'negotiating for the consummation of American interests in China. The officials of the State Department flatly refuse to make any statement relative to the measure of success that has attended their efforts, though it is admitted that the subject i9 so far still open, although the prospects of ultimate success are regarded as highly en couraging. A government official in high reputation who has large experi ence in Chinese questions, is au thority for the statement that our government does not apprehend any immediate injury to American in terests from the political moves that are being made in China. On the contrary, the conditions are such in the Flowery Kingdom that there is reason to believe that, so far from restraining the operations of the United States in the matter of trade extension ra that quarter, nations which have under one or another terest on a debt which the State con tracted based cn the company's go-:d faith. The State Treasurer saw pei seri ally the officials of the company at New York and was told work was in progress and that the bonds would le rushed. Now the Treasurer's lawyer writes that the company has done no work and that it admits that it wa3 de ceivlng the Treasurer in all its prom ises. The Treasurer says that never in hia whole business experience h;. he known such conduct. Tho State bought two farms, these to be paid f jt from the proceeds of the sale of tlv bends, the money to be paid to t:e State upen delivery of the bond;. Th? State I3 therefore now paying interest on the bonds and on the debt, too. It is this latter interest which Treasurer Worth declares he wll make the bank note company pay. The Raleigh Post declares that there are millions of feet of merchantable white pine timber in the forests of Western North Carolina. Because of the difficulty of getting the product to market the lumbering industry in that region has remained undeveloped. But increasing scarcity will bring the tim her into market, and if the people of North Carolina be wise in their day and generation they will profit by the experience of the people in the Northern-States and make time regulation? for the prevention of wanton ravage of their forests. The wooded lafrd? may be reckles3lylaid waste, as have been the forests in Penusylvania, or they may be made sources of perma nent productiveness. Tne forests add to the fertility of cultivated areas, hold in check destructive floods, pre vent aridity and promote health. One of the most important opinions filed by the supreme court Tuesdav was in the case of the State vs. Smith, 'rem Johnston. In the Smith case th court grants a new trial. Judge Clark dissenting. Smith was the negro who was in jail here some months to pre vent lynching. He attacked three young white men during the Christ mas revelries, while they were pass ing his house, killed one and danger ously wounded another. The court says that the night before there had been rioting between whites and blacks at Selma; that Smith had been reading and thinking about the Wil mington riots, and that when he saw the men In 'disguise he thought they had come to kill him. The weather report for Octobr shows that the mean temperature wa?

In connection with thi3 advance a col umn consisting of the Tenth Mountain Artillery, four and a half companies of tho GlMieesters and six companies of the Royal Irish Fuslleer3, Lieuten ant Colonel Shelton 8nd Major Adye, deputy assistant adjutant general, was dispatched at 11 p. m. on the 29:h to naarch by night up Bells-Spruit and seize Nicholson's Nek, or eome posi tion near Nicholson's Nek, thus turn ing the enemy's right flank. The main advance was successfully car ried out, the objective point of the at tack being found evacuated and an ar tillery duel between our field batter ies and the enemy's guns occurred, and it is understood to have caused heavy loss to the enemy. The recon- loisance forced the enemy to fully lisclcse. his position and, after a trong counter attack on our right. the infantry brigade and cavalry hav ing been repulsed, the troops were lowly withdrawn to camp, pickets being left on observation. Late in the ngagement the naval contingent tin ier Captain T.ambeton, cf H M. S. Powerful, came into action and silenc ed, with their extremely accurate 5re, the enemy's guns of position. 'The circumstances which attended he movements of Lieuten ant Colon A arlton's column are not yet fully nown, but from reports received the column appears iu uave tauicu uu-. the night march unmolested until within two miles of Nicholson's Nek. At this point two boulders rolled from the hill and a few rifle shots stamped- d the infantry ammunition mules. The stampede spread to the battery mules, which broke loose from their leaders and got away -with practically the whole cf the gun equipment and the greater portion of the regimental small arm ammunition. The reserve was similarly lost. The Infantry bat talions however, fixed bayonets, and Hiny Points Sustain Heavy Lcsscso-' Property. W.lmlcg!o. X. C.
