national capital, an Meat aay waa -pvrtenced
by tha Immenaa throng that

of tha Louisiana purchase evpoeiuon.
t There had been parade, apeechee.

Brief Battels.
Tha wisdom of the committee on cere
monies In making tha opening exercises
as brief as possible waa evident. Mo one
'. waa In a humor to listen to long speeches
or flowery dissertations. That sort of
thing waa well enough at tha dedication
exerclaea a year ago, but today overyone
waa analoua to begin tha Inspection of
the great exposition, and tha crowds that
ebbed and flowed through the great
, white palace and along tha broad ava

Mecca of civilisation ahould have been
Talrty oegun.- Of courts, every on who
'could obtain entrance to the big audi-

apect to tha orators of the day, -but
there waa an evident disposition to be

Upon being notified by President Francis

of this great enterprise, and on behalf of

battle, the court granted the defense
until October within which time th
woman will com over to tell bar story

.Lieutenant Burbank was in court with
the two lieutenants who were the wit

the woman sunpoenaed several soiaiers

' The attorneys for the woman claimed
that If given a postponement until Oc

married to the woman, and in support
Of this contention read to tha court th
, findings and testimony taken by MaJ.

ease for the war department.
, This, testimony waa read In open
- court, and was somewhat embarrassing
to the plaintiffs attorneys.
Fernando Mapa, a physician. 'testified
that he married them, as a Justice of
" the peace. The ceremony was merely
-the asking of the usual questions. Re
garding the child, he stated that Lleu-
tenant Burbank had always been re
garded as its father. Regarding the
time of the marriage, th affidavit
eays: .
- "The ceremony took place at the home
' of the woman between 2 and 3 o'clock

FAMOUS LAWSUITS
RECALLED' IN COURT
Two famous legal actions, dealing with
Astoria railroad history, were revived
yesterday by an argument before Judge
Sears in the circuit court on motion for a
new trial of the suits of James W. Welch
against C W. Schlvely and M. B. Kinney
recover amounts subscribed to the
building f that line. The court took the
matter under advisement The suits were
tried a year ago by Judge S Hhout a
ury and were decided In favor of Welch
Before the railroad construction began
subscriptions were received for the fund
to procure a right of way.. The defend'
ants In the suits brought by Welch failed
to pay. The amount at Issue is about
$4,0
This Is the contention of Schlvely and
Kinney that the road has been already
constructed and that their subscriptions
are not needed. This the complainant
denies, alleging that his subscriptions are
necessary to settle a number of accounts.
In reply we say that we respectfully
decUne. Our reasons have been already
stated at length. In part they briefly
are:
First A to Wages, th present high
seal fixed by arbitration on November 2
last, after nearly eight month of controversy.
Second As to the discipline and dis
charge of our employes,, we declined a
year ago to arbitrate, because where the
responsibility rests there the power
must lie.
"Our recent offer falls If not accepted
today. Our regret is genuine that w
have failed to oome to an agreement
and we express the hop that th mem
ber of the union will still accept tha
liberal offer we have made." .
Signed by the board of directors of the
United Railroads of San Francisco.
