Judge Myers Appoints Ex-Senator Mart in Receiver Also Enjoins Itaiiway Com pany From Bringing: Action Against t T?lrr rintcliln n f .TofTnrenn Cnnntv. Oskaloosa, Kan., Nov. 19. Judgo Louis Myers yesterday appointed ex United States Senator John Martin re ceiver of tho Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway property in Kansas, in place of Charles P. Johnson, whom he previously appointed, but who failed to qualify. The order appointing Martin receiver also enjoins the railway com pany from bringing any action against him in other than in the Jefferson county court, over which Judge Myers presides. Judge Albert II. Horton was was the only one of the opposing coun sel present, but he took no part except ta make notes of the proceedings. The railroad attorneys have not recognized Judge Myers' court at all and it is their policy not to do so. The court fixed Ke ceiver Martin's bond at 25,000 and designated Messrs. Hiatt of Topeka and Gebhart and Schaeffer of Oskaloosa as his attorneys. The court did not ad journ sine die, bur until ucc. 4 at s o'clock. Clash Between Conrts. Topeka", Nov. 19. The Santa Fe re ceivership has developed a direct conflict between the state and federal courts, an ticipating the appointment, of a new re ceiver by Judge Myers at Oskaloosa, A. A. Hurd, general attorney for the rail way company, yesterday obtained a sup plementary order from Judge C. C. Fos ter of tho United States circuit court. The order directs nil the officers and cm? ployes of tho Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway company in the stato of Kansas to continue the operation, management and control of said rail way, as the same has heretofore been conducted, until the further order of said United States circuit court shall bo made. Later, Rosington, Smith & Dalr las, representing the Union -Trust com pany of New York, which has become a party to the action by a cross bill filed in the federal court last week, appeared before Judgo Fostor and presented a lengthy petition asking that Senator Martin, et al, be restrained from inter fering with the present management of the road. The petition recites the action of tho Oskaloosa court in the master and says that "Notwithstanding the filing of the transcript in tho case in his court and the orders .made by this court, the said district court of Jefferson county has as sumed to appoint one John Martin as receiver of the property, at the instanco of H. T. Phinuey, county attorney of Jefferson county, and his associates, Henry Keeler, D. R, Hite, H.B.Shaeffer and Marshal Gebhart." Continuing, the petition holds that at the time of the appointment of said re ceiver, tne united btates circuit court held jurisdiction over the Jefferson county court and that the appointment of Martin is void. It therefore prays that the "said Martin, Phiuney, Hito Schaeffer and Gebhart bs enjoined and restrained from in any manner interfer ing with the possession, management or control of the railroad and all the prop erty of tho said railway company in the state of Kansas and elsewhere." Under theshowiug thus made Judge Foster granted a restraining order against John Martin and the others named. Just before the restraining order was served upon him Senator Martin was seen by a reporter and said he would qualify as receiver immediately. Later he said ho should respect the order of the United States court. Mr. Hurd, the Santa Feattorney, says m his judgment the federal court has jurisdiction of the case, and he believes Judge Foster will so hold.. A big fight is likely to center in Judge Foster's court, lasting Hoveral days, when the case shall come beforo him next week. County Attorney Phinney of Jefferson count)', who last week was co-opcratiug with the attorney general, has resumed his original status in the case and is now acting with Judge Keeler, whom he dis missed from the case last Saturday. A half an hour before court opened yester day afternoon Mr. Phinney was in con sultation with Assistant Attorney Gen eral Goddard, but when the proceedings opened he was half way back to his original position, and in a few minutes he was co-operating with Judge Keeler again.

Attitude of United States Toward Cuba "Will Govern Southern Republics. "Washington, Nov. 19. Diplomatists well informed regarding the conditions and sentiment of the South and Central American republics are authority for tho statement there is no intention on tho part of the governments of these coun tries to recognize Cuba belligerency. Bolivia has evinced a purpose to grant such a recognition, but it is explained that Bolivia has no ports nor commerce that can be affected and could take tho step without fear of any disastrous con- seauences at the hands of Spain. Tho tone of the official papers of South America generally have been friendly to Spain and tho governments of tho respective countries do pot carp to tako any position winch might result in hos tilities with Spain. The attitude of tho United States diplomats from tho south ern republics say, will govern nearly every South American country as to recognition of belligerency and nonin tervention. This disposition upon tho part of South American republics to conform their foreign policies to that of the United States, it is stated, has been more marked sinco the intervention of tho United States in the Venezuela boundary dispute.
