Constitutional law } ers In and out of con-
gicss are discussing tonight whether the
amendment to the interstate cotnmctcc law
which the senate passed today ( providing
. that there shall bo no Intoxicating liquors or
beverages shipped Into prohibition states )
will stand the constitutional test.
Such able constitution expounders ns Sena
tors Kdmunds , Hoar and nvcictt contend
that it yvas Intimated b } the suptomo court
the other clii } In over tin owing the prohibition
laws of low'n that the constitution \cated a
power in congiess to prohibit the interstate
shipment of nil } article which was undesii.i-
ble b } the states , under tlio interstate pie
vision , and that it was within the power of
congiess to reinforce the powers of a jnohib-
itlou state by such a law as the senate passjjd
today.
Ills held , on the contrary , that while the
constitution gives congiess this power it ran-
not delegate it to a state and that thoieforo
the Wilson amendment will not stand a con
stitutional test because it proposes to dele
gate fodeial power to st.ito authority Un-
doubtedl } the Wilson amendment will pass
the house , but it will bo tesisted by the
oilginal package and other liquor deal-
cis In piohibition states and It
is very generally thought yvill
bo broken clew n. Thcicweto but ten votes
against it in the senate , but it should bo ic-
meinboied thatquito a number of senatois
voted for it under the impulsion that it w.is
not only unconstitutional but would icsiill in
the overthrow of the license s.vstom for the
sale of beveiages shipped fiom outside states
lit original packages.

In the senate today Mr Stew ait of Nevada
made nt attack on Major Powell for his man-
njemcnt of the irrigation suivo } , denouncing
thosuivoy as being muled on In a manner
too scientific for practicd put pose's
Two impiopilatiems aio made for the work
under Maloi Powell , ono foi the geological
fcuivi' } and the other foi the litigation sur-
ye } . The- geological s live } has been in pro
gress man } .years , and n part of its vvoik is to
ruako topographic maps , and an appropriation
of $100,000 hits been made for several } eurs
lei this hrancli of the vvoik Two } ears ago
congress b } resolution called on thosccrotniy
of the intoilor for n plan and estimates of
cost for nn litigation binve } . The
resolution making thu call was ro-
feired to Major Powell for reply Ho
reported the ) plan and in it recommended that
topographic maps bo made and that thu
btivams to bu used In tuigat ion bo gauged
for the tunposu of determining how much
yvatcr they yvill biiplil.v to tlio desctt lands
At the sumo time ho suggested a clause for
the appropriation bill which would author izo
nnd direct thu weak uccoiding lo the p'uii '
itiado h } him. This ropoit was refer ml to
tlio committee on public lands which reported
nn amendment to the sundry civil uppropila-
tlon bill In thu teinis suggested by Mn.vor
Powell ivquhIng that thu litigation .survey
bhuuld construct thu ncccssinv maps
us allied for hi the plun At-
tot the amendment was rofoired
totMiipprnpilatlon cummlttcu the chairman
callftS on Major Powell for tin explanation of
Ids estimate , and ho set foith that the cheap-
ist vva } of dUcovCling reservoir sites , canal
cites , lirlgablu hinds and catchment areas
Svus to inuku u topographical niup , and that u
little more than half the cost of the cntlro
work would be the making of this map. Then
the appropriation committee incorporated
this clause into the appropriation bill.
Senator Stewart lielleves the money npprc-
nrlaU'd for making the maps for the geolog
ical survey should have been used for making
the mops for the hrigation survey , and that
the money used for making maps for the irri
gation fitnvcy should have been
used exclusively for the hydrographlc
work and for the planning of reservoirs nnd
canals , but the statute Itself clearly pro
hibits flueh a use. To have followed Senator
Stewart's plan would have been to have
stopped to n largo extent the work of the
geological survey which Is carried on all
over the country , but chiefly in great mining
districts in the eastern part of the United
States The error Into which Senator Stewart
fell led him to denounce the director of the
survey In such n manner that ho was pub
lished In many papers ns a defaulter and his
impeachment yvas discussed. Major Powell
W.LS interviewed nnd ho Denounced all this
In stiong language and Senator Stewart
caused DIG major's interview to bo read in

denunciation of Powell.

It required very little effort , with duo
diligence on the part of Mr. Council , to In
duce the house this aftetnoon to pass the bill
which was recently passed by the senate for
a publics building at Be.itiicc. The senate
fixed the amount at ? 100,000 and the house re
duced it to $00,000 , which the senate will
likely ngi co to. The clause making the up-
propu.itions was stricken out. Tlio nppto-

Modus Opcrandl.
Sioux FAI.IJI , S. D. , May 20. [ Special Tcl-
crgam to TUP Bhi' . ] K. J. Nally , assistant
superintendent ot the Western Union tele
graph company for the northwestern di
vision , has been In the city for several days ,
and during his visit has revealed before the
grand Jury of this county a scicntltlp scheme
by yy hlch the company during the past five
j'cars has suffered from stealings to the
amount of $ . )0,000.
The plan of operation involves telegraph
agents in forty towns in South Dakota , and
the company has proceeded to indict each
and every ono it can.
In the case before the present Jury E. .1.
Mannlv , late manager of this Western Union
ollice , an cx-aldcrman and prominent in
church and other circles , has been indicted
for embezzling 5130.
This insignificant sum , according to Mr.
Nallj's statement , does not represent a onc-
hundicdth part of the actual amount cm-
bez7led , of which there is no means of ascer
taining. A short tlmo ago Mr. Nally ap
peared lit Aberdeen , and thiough the over
sight of Manager Blood was enabled to read
the contents of a letter addressed to an
operator at Webster , the letter' containing a
request not to check up dispatches of a cer
tain number.
This was the first clue to the sensation
claimed to have been linear thcel , although at
first it yvas presumed that the collusion be
tween the Webster agent and Blood was
meiely local , but the mote the matter yvas in
vestigated the larger it grow. Blood was
chaiged and latelj indicted by the grand Jury
in Brown county. His way of walking was
simple Ho would not check a prepaid dis
patch if the fellow at the other end of the
line would not check the ono sent back pie-
paid. This was done yyith ten or fifteen op-
eiators about Aberdeen , and in about a month
SIM ) worth of these unrecorded dispatches
yvas taken , the money for yvhlch Blood appro
priated.
Blood's circle of sympathizing friends man
aged to got away with a gicat deal of money ,
but Blood himself yvas not satisfied with the
harvest ho could reap around Aberdeen and
took a jump for bigger game. At Sioux Falls
the company sajs the manager worked the
sumo racket as Blood , only it was mote ptoilt-
able. Mitchell did the same thing at Pierre ,
while the Ucdflcld agent was of the same
stamp as the otheis. Blood would lind out
that each manager was yvoi king his circle of
friends for all they yveto vvoith. and
so wet keel up a scheme by which tlio
inner ciicle , including the towns just
mentioned , pocketed money belonging to the
company. The plan was brought to a succes-
ful tci imitation , and had it not been for
Blood's mislaid note the company assert they
would not have known of it to this day. The
whole of it was under the control of these
few towns , and in case ono of the small
fry belonging to the outer cnclo was elis-
chiuged for not attending to his duties the
new man would bo sounded. If ho joined
the circle , all right and well , but
if ho did not the "circle" men
would report every "break" he
maelo and complain of his incniclency as an
operator. This would bo kept up till ho was
discharged and a man found to suit the do-
siics of the cuelo. Mr Mannlx , who has
been indicted hote , h is many friends who do
not behov o ho is guilty of the charge made by
the company , and yvhilo they admit theio
might have ? been a scheme like that described
by Mr Nally , they do not think Mr Mannix
was ni it. The hitter's tcun of offlco In the
citj council ex plied last May , and while a

Is clear , balmy and bcavitifiil. Since caily
morning the streets have bcefi crowded with
people from out of town Atiel military organi
zations yvhlch vvoro to jake part In the pro
cession , As the various 'commands ' reached
their starting points , with1 some familiar oU- (
ccrat their head , they yvcro greeted with
cheers. The chief marshal , General Fltz- .
hugh Lee , Generals Enrlj' , Johnston and
Longstrcct received ovations ns they moved
from place to place. Shortly after 12 o'clock
the processlcn moved to the monument ,
around which the dllTercutorganizaUons wcto
grouped ,
The monument is situated at the Intersec
tion of two broad streets In the fashionable
residence section. It consists of a whlto
granlto peelestal forty feet high , with six
pedestals for the statues of Leo's generals to
bo placed hereafter. Upon the pedestal
stands the bronze equestrian statue of Lee ,
tw cnty feet high. It represents Leo upon the
battlefield of Gettysburg. While the llgurc ,
both of horse and man. Is In leposc. all the
atrical effect being avoided. It is full of life
and spirit. It Is the work of Mercle , the
Ft cnch sculptor.
As soon aa the distinguished guests yvcro
all seated , Governor McKInnoy. as president
of the Leo monument association , arose and
called the assemblage to order. After a brief
prayer Governor McKlnuoy Introduced Gen
eral Early ns chairman of the meeting. He
was greeted with prolonged cheotlng. Ho
made no speech , but In a few well chosen
words introduced the orator of the cccaslou ,
Colonel Archer Anderson.
Colonel Anderson's iiehlrc s wns an elo
quent one , whlcSli , yvhilo abating not n jot of
the love and admiration for Leo , yvas so
couched as not to jar upod the sensibilities of
the most ardent unionists. Ho began with
the statement that a people Is known by Its
monuments , and by that tccord the world
always gave Its most devoted admiration to
yv.mlois. Ho sketched in a masteily way
the transcendent qualities necessarily united
inn great general. Leo , however , was not
only ono of thogteatest captains , but a man
of absolutely unblemished Christian life. It
was the singular fellcltj' of Virginia to have
pioduccd two gicat stainless military lead
ers , Washington and Leo. The orator gave
an elaoorato biographical review of the gen
eral's life , etwelt upon the piinful stiugglo
w hlch It cost him to decide w hither to giv o
his allegiance to the nation or to his native
state , and finally , in the face of ambitious
tcmptlngs , in the iijco of the offer of the com
mand of the union aimv. decided that duty
called him to stand by Virginia. The speaker
then sketched Leo's campaign In illustration
of his military genius , touclicd upon the mod
eration and gooel sense of the noith at the
close of the struggle and , Its happy result ;
spoke of Leo's subsequent quiet , dignified
life , and closed with n brilliant peroration.
l vety point of Anderson's addtess was
gieetcel with applause and several times he
was obliged to suspend hlWremaiks.
At the conclusion of the address , General
Joseph E. Johnson diow t'sido the veil which
covered the statue As it came into view a
mighty shout went up and the assemblage
became wild with enthusiasm.
