Montgomery, Ala,, Aug. 2. -Kor
i Xf i-jmovaHof a Tivll cause from
''''the'" court of thlti state to Urn fed
eral, courtrho Ilejuso of the South?
c'rn" ftailway to do business in Ala
bama was cancelled by Secretary of
State Julian Thursday evening, the
formal announcement being made
this forenoon.
Although tho action is productive
of a condition similar to that exist
ing in North Carolina, It differs in
that it brings the matter to a direct
issue between state and federal au
thorities, and Is impossible of com
promise wis the case In tho "Tar
Heel" state.
Whon Secretary Julian received
a formal certificate from the clerk
of the circuit court for Talladega
county, which declared that tho
Southern Railway had removed a
case from that court to tho United
. States court for the northern dis
trict of Alabama, he Immediately
cancelled the license of tho Southern."-'
The penalty for the violation of
tho act which declares against the
transfer of suits from state to fed
eral courts is a flno of not less than
i 100, nor more than $1,000, and
imprisonment In tho county jail, or
hard labor for the county for not
more than twelve months, provided
that It is not Intended to interfere
with or prohibit tho transaction of
Interstate business.
All Employes Liable to Arrest. .
Thus, every employe of tho South
ern Railway In Alabama is now sub
ject to arrest under this section of
the new law. At Just what point tho
administration will aim its first blow
cannot be ascertained at this time,
but It Is said on good authority
tkat an arrest of several of South
ern ticket agents will bring the mat
ter to a focus.
Governor Comer is much Interest
ed in tho outcome of the caBO. To
the Hearst News Sorvlco Friday
morning ho .expressed his views in
the following language:
"I am a firm believer In a stale's
right to manage, its internal affairs.
It is my opinion that the laws of tho
legUlpture governing those affairs
should be tested by the highest tri
bunal of the land, after having gone
through our own state courts and
not swept rf ieBsly aside by a sub
sidiary fed 1 court.
"It was! ..or the executive of a
state to maintain-the dignity of the
state, and I shall maintain the pro
visions of the recent legislation to
tho fullest extent of my power."
Authorized by Legislature,
Secretary of State Frank N. Julian
said Friday morning that his only
object in the cancellation of the
Southern's license Thursday was
the performance of . his duty as de
nned In senate bill No. 76.
' "I shall continue Immediately to
cancel licenses of any corporations

authorised by the 'legislature of Ala
bama." There was much speculation
among railroad officials" of the city
as to why tl K? ill's t attack of the ad
ministration was aimed at the
Southern Railway, but it was learn
ed t:iat in no other instance had a
violation of thhv law; which went

the knowedg'.! of that official goes,
no other violations have been made,

railroad litigation, all of Ji was

(Ry Leased Wire to Tho Times.)
New York, Aug. 2. The K. H. Har-ritrmn-Sluyvcsant
Fish light, which
has been smouldering since Mr. Har
rlman got the upper hand In Novem
ber, IMS, and put his own man In as
president of the Illinois Central in
place of Mr. Fish, has blazed up In
fine stvle. It promises to be almost
as prominently before the pu.blle eye
from now on until the meeting, of tn?
stockholders of' the' Illinois. Central In
October as It was in the period between
the insurance Investigation which
broke up the closo friendship former
ly existing between the two men, and
tho directors' meeting at which Mr.
Fish was deposed.
Mr. Fish first sent out a statement
about the Illinois Central, In which
he called attention to the smallncss
of Mr. Harrlman's stockholdings In
comparison with his own and said that
while he did not Intend to enter Into
an active campaign .for. re-election to
tho presidency; he had received from
stockholders a huso number of unso
llclted proxies and would bo on hand
at the meeting to vote them in add!
tion to his own dock and the stock
of his close asosclates In the company.
When Mr. Harrlman was shown this
statement, he said:
"I am tho largest stockholder In 1111
nois Central and I always havo been
ever since I went Into U. I own more
shares than Mr. Fish several times
over, and he knows It."
"Mr. Fish says you own only 130
shares."
"He has said a lot of things lately
that weren't well, that are not Just
right."
At Mr, Fish's office In the National
Park Bank Building the statement of
Mr. Harrlman was repeated to him,
Mr. Fish grew scarlet. , Ho leaned
forward in his chair and said:
"If he said that ho lien and you can
print that I said so." .- ,.

(Special Cable to The Times.)
Seoul, Korea, Aug. 'i. The night
in the cilv and on the outskirts was
one ol terror, outbreaks, occurring
one after another. Tho disbanded
army, aroused to fury by the killing
ol fixtv Koreans, continues to at
tack lite Japanese, and the members
are being repulsed with still further
loss. Tlie Japanese are quick to turn
the machine guns on any mob that
shows violence.
Fighting was resumed this morn
ing, ii iil it is feared that the scenes
of yesterday, with even more disas
trous results, will be repeated. Many
r. r rests have boon mado and the pris
ons are Piled. The whole army is
hclpi; niad'i to suffer for tho deeds of
those Koreans who would not submit
to ilisbandnionf . The Imperial house
luild also is being decimated by ar
n st.;, the officials being charged with
conspiracy. Japanese officials are ex
pelling every one from the palace
whose presence Is Inimical to the
peaceful working out of Japan's
plans. Itesistanco is not tolerated in
the slightest degree. Iron-handed
measures are employed for insignifi
cant as well as significant movements
on tho.-part of tho Koreans. Machine
guns are the answers to all argu
ments. . :.
Tho Itesentmeiit Intensified.
The bitter resentment of the Ko
reans has. been further provoked by
the
departure of Princo Euiwha for
Tokio, the suspicion that ho Is on an
apologetic -'mission becoming more
prevalent. If the present excitement
is not. allayed a fearful slaughter will
surely result. The Japanese are pro
ceeding wil.h coolness, using the most
extreme measures to blot out Insur
rection. Forty Japanese were killed yester
day and today the deaths will proba
bly be as many more. A number ot
Korean soldiers were killed today
and their bodies quickly removed
from the streets. The outskirts of
the city are In a state of war. There
is danger that tho majority of the
11,000 Korean soldiers who willingly
disbanded will join the Insuhoi'dl
iiiites, as indeed many are now doing
The gratuities they received yester
day are being spent rloutously, with
-consequent recklessness.
