What are the rights of the abutting owner in the street, and how he may protect them against the encroachments of corporations with the authority of mu nicipal councils ha ve excited the grav est debate, and have been the subject of the most careful Judicial considera tion. For the first time the case of W H. Vanderburgh vs City and Chicago Great Western Railway Company brings up this question in Minnesota, where it has been hitherto totally un develope d. I is one of the greatest equity cases that ever came before the supreme court. The plaintiff is car rying it on single handed and has pre pared a most exhaustive brief. The accompanying plat shows how First street and Twelfth Avenue South were vacated by resolution of the city council without payment to him and that it leaves plaintiff's property de prived of principal access, and cooped up on a blind court instead of on a thorofare. And for the destruction of is property rights as well as the sub stantial depreciation in value (th value of the property is a secondary matter. I may be stated the railway lately paid $15 0 a foot for adjoin ing property.) Mr. Vanderburgh brought suit for injunction and in voked the aid of the new amendment to the constitution (18 97), "that private property shall not be taken, destroy ed or damaged for public use without just compensation first paid or secured therefor" claiming that the people by inserting the words ''damaged" and "destroyed" pro claim ed a new rule liability for cons e quential damages, from which munici pal corporatio ns were hitherto exempt. Points in the Case. The three principal points to be dis cussed fn the supreme court are: First, what constitutes the "damaging" in the above provisio n? Whatever per manently prevents owners the free use of the street for ingress and egress, and whatever interferes with a street and permanently diminishes the value Is as much a damaging as the taking of the land itself. The up-to-date in terpretation of the cour ts in other states who have inserted the word "damaged" in their constitutions ex ploded the old theory that the vaca tion or obstruction must be In front of the lot to entitle the owner to com pensation.

Case of Vanderburgh Against the City and the Great Western Railway Involves Arguments of Interest to LawyersCase in Suprem Court. QRI AT wtsrefyi 1* LSI. ST. eo 6* -_ i 3 10 ST. DIAGRAM OF THE VANDERBURGH PROPERTY both sides of his property so as to cut him off from other streets, his means of acce ss is as effectually destroyed as if the entire street were vacated. If the street is vacated on one side only, the owner's injury may be less, but the difference is in degree only. In either case he has sustained a loss by the destruction of an importa nt element in the market value of his property. Ca the city council say to plaintiff, one opening to your pro p erty is. sufficient for your purposes, therefore no legal injury has been done to you by the closing of the other? If the city council can place a construction upon the constitution binding upon the courts then it can make and unmake constitutions at its pleasure. This brings up the second point, that when there is an irreconcilable conflict between the act of the city council and the constitution of the state, the provisions of which one are to be given force? Can rights of prop erty conferred or protected by the constitution be overthrown or im paired by any authority derived from the charter power of the city council? The Injunction Question. The third point is the question of injunction. The district court, thru Judge Pond, refused to consider the important constitutional questions involved, both on the grou nd that the city was not concerned in the matter and that the resolution did not impair plaintiff's rights. That when the railway com mences work on these streets, the va lidity of the ordinance can then be fought out between them. Vanderburgh conten ds the vacation, being fait accompli, he ought to ha ve an injunction against the action of the city council for the manifest violation of his individual rights in not only not providing for payment to hi m, but denying all right to compen sation, and that the city officials are recognizing the validity of the ordi nance in every possible way to secure its enforcement, and will do so until equity intervenes. A court of equity, he contends, has jurisdiction on the adoption of the invalid resolution handing over these streets to the rail way, to restrain the illegal purpose at its very inception, and compel these corporations to comply with the ex act terms of the constitutional clause, which provides for payment before "damaging," and not fqree him to carry on a long litigation after the streets are forcibly closed by the rail road. isterfi Vi sJ i A^^jMS^M^d BOBMOFFS END NO UNEXPECTED SLAYER O FINLAND'S GOVER- NOR GENERAL A HERO. The Assassination, However, May Cause Additional Suffering for the PeopleStory of the Awful Condi- tions that Prevailed Under Dead Ruler's Regime. The end of General Bobrikoff, gov ernor general of Finlan d, who was assassinated yesterday, has long been predicted, not openly, of course, but in the privacy of the home, the office and the club. Young Schaumann may not have rendered his country a ser vice by his rash act, for unle ss the Russian nature has been change d, the death of General Bobrikoff will be followed by reprisals in which the whole people will probably suffer. Still, he will be added to the list of Finland's heroes, and no matter how brutal the next govern or may be, he can hardly equal the hated Bobrikoff, and he is very likely to be much more humane. Undoubtedly the young patriot was wise to commit suicide, as i the most terrible punishment Russian cruelty could devise would have been meted out to him. Finland is in a deplorably pitiful condition in consequence of five years of Bobrikoff rule. The taxes have i been piled on the peop le at a fright ful rate in spite of the fact that in dustry and commerce have been dim inished as the result of misrule. The revenu es of the country formerly were sufficient for all purposes, but altho education and public works have been greatly neglected the Russians have been able to extract large amounts for extra expenses. Where the Money Goes. The department of the police has drawn most heavily upon the Finnish resources. It added expenses during the period under consideration amount to no less than 2,855,000 marks, and represent an increase of 188 per cent! The ne xt in order is the Russian treasury, which has been enriched by 2,000,000 marks. Then comes the department of instruction in the Russian language, for which 850,000 marks have been expended then the governor general's depart ment and its suboffices, with an added expenditure of 818,000 marksan finally, in the list of large sum s, the gubernatorial and provincial depart ments, whose expenses have been in creased by 443,000 marks. Of smaller sums expended during the same period we have, first, the senate, which has received 172,000 marksthe the means placed at the czar's disposal, 150,000 marksth department of literary censorship, whose purpo se is to preve nt the spread of enlightenment, 96,000 marks Russian school inspectors, 55,000 marks gratuities, 14,000 marks and finally, the czar's picture.which ador ns the hall of the senate, 11,000 marks. At least 9,000,000 marks have been ex pended without the slightest benefit, and, in many cases, with incalculable injury to the country. Heavy as these burdens have been, th ey are only experiments in the work of pressing out money. During the present ye ar Finland, in addition to the ordinary expenses of the govern ment, must pay nearly 1,000,000 marks for the Russian gendarmerie, 3,000,000 marks into the Russian treasury and 1,000,000 marks into the war fund, which, tho /collected by force, is advertised as a gift. Education Stifled. Commerce and industry have been at a standstill during this period, and in consequen ce of the stagnation, de cay has set in. I education and cul ture Finland must eventually reach the pitiful condition of unhappy Po land. Already libraries and reading rooms, established by the voluntary contributions of the young people's societies of Finland, have been closed under the pretence of purging them from "unwholesome and dangerous literature',' most of the important books, periodicals and' newspapers from abroad have been prohibited be cause th ey might conta in principles antagonistic to the political code of Russia the teache rs and instructors have been continually watched and interfered with by the Russian school inspectors and gendarmes (some of them have already been carried to Siberia)whil the usual allowances to institutions for public instruction and recreation have been gradually cut dow n, and in many cases abol ished altogether, "because there is no more money in the treasury for such purposes." In the main, all the thin gs of which the people complain have emanated directly from Bobrikoff. PASTEBOARD A S ARMOR Interesting Tests Made by Swedish Army Officers. Swedi sh army officers have recen t ly conducted a series of rifle tests for the purpose of testing the usefulness of pasteboard as a protection against bullets. The trials were conducted on the wharves of the Swedish navy in Karlskrona and the target used was a Prepared one of millboard, attacks, against which fire from revolvers, rifles, carbines and machine guns was directed. The pasteboard, which was three inches thick, resisted completely the bullets fired from the small arms, A PRUDENT MINISTRY Norway Seems to Doing Fairly Well with Present Government Coalition ministers, organized when conditions are disturbed and dubious, are seldom if ever successful, but for a ministry which was formed under unsatisfactory conditions the present government of Norway has done fair ly well when everything is taken into consideration. While not attempting any brilliant diplomacy, it has man aged the finances in a prudent and economical manner and undoubtedly started the country on a safe road. Moreover, without being aggressive, it has yet maintained Norway's dignity and insisted on recognition of her rights. DANE FURNISHES THRILLiS Alexius' Trick of Looping the !Loop a Hair-Raiser.

His inseparable com panion is a mastiff called Jack, who watches every performance his mas ter makes and greets every success ful loop with a loud and joyful bark. rffr&:W^&&^&M[ at one price, Saturday Danish and Swedish newspapers are excited over a story emanating from Paris to the effect that Denmark, with Sweden and Norway, had as sented to a proposition of Russia for an international law providing for the return of anarchists to the police of their home country. German y, Tu r key, Servia and other countries are mentioned among those who favor such a law The Danish papers in sist that the Russian definition of an archists includes all classes of political refugees and the Swedish papers in timate that such a law would compel Sweden to arrest Finnish refugees. England and France have refused to abandon their long-established cus tom of offering an asylum for political exiles and consequently the report that the Scandinavi an countries are in league with such countries as Russia and Turkey is resented. No Reforms for Swedes. Sweden obtained no electoral extensions from the late riksdag. It would have been possible to pass the complicated and some what ridiculous law which was proposed as a compromise measure,' but the radical elements voted with the ultra-conserva tives to kill it, insisting on universal suf fraga or nothing at all. They argued that the proposed measure instituted no prac tical reforms and if it became a law there would be no chance for amendment for many years to come.
