The trouble grew out of the attempt to arrest thirty-four miners for violation of the. blanket injunction Issued by Federal Judge Keller last August. Deputy .Man*tuiI II. w. cuuumgnam went to Atkiimvillc. a mining town ju ltaleigh County, to arrest men charged with violating tin* injunction. He wu* surrounded by a large party of miners armed whb Winchester riQes, who ordered blni to leave ibe place, an order which be quickly olieyed. Sheriff Cook at this time attempted to make Home arrest* upder process issued by ihe State Court and was treated in a like manner. Cunningham returned to this city, and reported to the Marshal and District Attoruey that be could do nothing without a large force, and then only at Imminent risk of precipitating a bloody conflict. He was instructed to return with men sufficient to serve the process given him. and to do it at all hazards, flefore Cunningham returned to Atkinsvllle, however. Marshal John IK. Thompson and S. C. Burdette. attorney for the United Mine Worker*. . went to the scene, spending two days there. They found everything quiet, the miners having withdrawn from the immediate neighborhood and crossed New River, going into camp 300 strong near the Big Q Mine, on the north side. Thompson and Burdette came home, and Cunningham and a strong posse went from here to make the arreat*. When Atkinsville was reached the Federal forces were joined by Sheriff Cook and his posse, the coal companies near by furnishing some guards. The Deputy and Sheriff found themselves in command of about 100 well-armed and ' determined men. . The rioters bad recrossed the river and were parading up and down before the various coat works from 150 to 200 men armed with Winchester rifles. They Intimidated miners at work, drove away the guards of the mines, and even went so far us to disarm one guard nnd force bim to marcb at the head of tbeir procession. Emboldened by their suceess. they attempted to burn down a bridge of the Chesapeake nnd Oblo Railroad over Plnejr Gulch and threatened the destruction of other property. At night they went into camp near 8tannlfnrd City. About daybreak the officers and tbeir combined posses surprised the rioters In their camp and called on them to surrender. The reply was a shot. This was answered with a shot, and Immediately a furious battle was raging. When It ceased three of the rioters lay dead and many others were found to be wounded, two of them fatally. Seventy-three arrests were made, ten falling to the share of Deputy Cunningham and slxty-thref to that of Sheriff Cook. All the prisoners were taken to Beckley. the county sent of Raleigh, where the United States prisoners were given a preliminary hearing by Commissioner Dunn and held for appearance here.

MAY SUPPRESS TRAFFIC Power of Congress Orer Commeroe Affirmed by the Supreme Court. Tbm LotUry Cut Dwldtd-Tb* Court Stood ri?? to Four?DlMoatlag Opli> toi ru?d by tho Cbl?f JmUUt. Washington, D. C. ? The Supreme Court banded down its derision* in the so-called lottery cases and affirmed the power of Congress to prohibit the sending of lottery tickets frum one State to another by other meaus than the L'ni ted state* mans. Tiie question arose in connection with two canes, that of Champion vs. the United States and that of Francis vs. the United States, and in both raxes the constitutionality of the act of Congress of 18D.> prohibiting the tranamission of lottery tickets from one State to another by express or otherwise was challenged. The question as to the constitutionality of the act of Congress was disposed of in the opinion in the case of Champion vs. Ames, in which the Supreme Court, by a majority of one. decided in favor of the Government and held that the act was constitutional. The opinion of the majority was delivered by Justice Harlan, and Justices Brown. White. McKenna and Holmes concurred with him. A vigorous dissenting opinion was filed by the Chief Justice, and concurred in by Justices Brewer. Peckham and Bhims. The opinions fully discuss the constitutional questions which were discussed in the argument, and the opinion of the majority of the court fully sustains the contention of the Government. in toe Francis case. Justice tioimcs spoke for tbe court, holding that the offense alleged did not come within the scope of tbe law in question. From this conclusion Justice Harlan dissented. The cases conclude a prolonged legal contest over the power of the Federal Government to prohibit the transmission by means other than tbe mails of lottery matter. Tbe questions involved were first argued in 1807 in the case of Francis vs. United States, but tbe court because of the peculiar facts of that case, did not find It necessary to decide tbe main question of constitutional power. Tbe present cases first nrgued in February. 1001. and by reason of a divided court were again argued October 1C. 1001. Justice Gray's death made a third argument necessary. which took place on December 15. 1002. The lottery and express companies were represented by former Senator George F. Edmunds, former Secretary John O. Carlisle. James C. Carter and William D. Guthrie, of the New York bar. Assistant Attorney-General James M. Bcck represented the Government Champion at the time of his arrest was >n Chicago, representing what wn* known as the Pan-American Lottery of Paraguay. The particular' charg? against bim was that of delivering a box of lottery tickets to the Wells-Fur-' go Express Company in Texas for shipment to California. He was arrestMi In Chicago to be taken to Texas, and imnifHllatolv sued out a writ of habeas corpus. which the Federal Circuit Court Kitting in Cbirttgo refused to grant. He appealed from that adverse decision to the Supreme Court, and It is this appeal which was decided, the de cislon being adverse to him. Francis operated in Cincinnati. Ohio, nd was charged with conducting "a policy shop." Tbe "numbers" were selected by players In Newport.

The principal contention of counsc! for the lottery men was that the suppression of lotteries belongs exclusively to the police power of the several States, and Is not a Federal function, and that consequently the law of 18H." la in derogation of the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution, which provides that ""the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the State*, are reserved to the State* respectively Dr to the people."

The decisive H vote was not taken until after Premier V Balfour, in an impasslooad speech, V practlcalijr had admitted tbet Rum la waa menacing Britain'* Indian froo tier, and had threatened to resign if M the program of the Government wetr flj not indorsed.

Winston Spencer Churchill n (Conservative) aaid Mr. Brodrick'a ex- H pectations had ouly been realised In H two directions, namely, in the decreas* M in the number of volunteers and ia the B Increase of expenditure. A The speaker further said that the Mj whole army corps scheme was a "hum* B bug and a sham, and was only Intro* KB duced with the object of militarising H| England." He asked where the Gov-flgj ernuent expected the three army corps Intended for foreign service to operate. H It was not In South Africa, and such HI a force was not needed on the Indtiur^H frontier, and they certainly eonld. not contemplate the three army corps- op-^H crating In Canada, for the United States wss "no more prepared to la-^H rade Canada than Great Britain was-^H prepared to inrsde the United 8tatea." IB Mr. Churchill added, amid cheers:' H "And long may that salutary neglect H continue." ? In the course of the debate the Lib- fl eral leader. Mr. Asquttb. expressed the m general feeling when be remarked that 1 the debate was of greater significance 1 than the dlviaion on It. and would be ] remembered long after the six army corps had vanished into thin air. Premier Balfour, in closing the db> bate for the Government, complimented Mr. Asqulth on going to the heart . of the question, namely?whether tha I army was too large and costly for tha I empire's needs. Of course, ha said, 4 the fleet stood first, but there were I limits to the uses of a float It was im- A possible to bring a war to an end with a fleet, which could not eves strike a H heavy blow at most enemies with I which Great Britain might be engaged, HQ without n strong attacking force of ro1- H dlers. and it would be folly to depri/e B the country of a means of offensive ae* M don in the event of an emergency. In Mr. Balfour contended that rhm BE army corps wore necessary to work H outside the empire. They had to con- H Rider tbe defense of India. He regard- BB ed a war between Great Britain ondflf Russia as in the highest degree ln>B| probable, but It was impossible to for* HE get that the Indian frontier was tbo MS key of Great Britain's military povitloaaH in tbe event of such a war. and with-fln out being an alarmist he wished to lm?SH press upon them tbnt events moft^Bl rapidly In Central Asia.
