AUTHORITIES.

CONFLICT BETWEEN THE STATE AND FEDERAL
AUTHORITIES.
NEW YoRK, Aug. 13-Judge McCunn an
nounced to-day that he had adjourned proceed
ings in the Pratt case to Monday next, to await
the action of the United States Commissioner
The warrants against Marshal Barlow have
been signed but not issued. BY this action the
danger of collision with the federal authorities
is postponed and will probably be avoided. A
report that the federal soldiers have been re-
turned to Fort Hamilton is unfounded, they
being still in the United States Court House.
The Marshal does not apprehend any attempt
to arrest him, but is determined not to be
caught mapping. He left for his home on Sta
ten island this afternoon, guarded by soldiers
to the ferry.
THE CHINESE VISITORS.
The Chinese visitors to-day viewed Wall
street, the custom house, post Office and Cen
trail Park.
