lating to the Matter in the United

On the Sd instant papers relating to the case of
Phelps, Dodge Co., which has been recently re-
ferred to in our columns, were filed in the United
States District Court. The first paper begins with
the usual stereotyped caption of "The President OF
the United States to the Marshall" who is COM
handed "to take William Z. Dodge, w. E.

This document winds up with the usual formallty
Of the Judges signature, "Witness the Hon. Samuel

Then there Is another document called the pre-
cipe, dated the same date as the above, which
directs that mean process shall be directed TO
the parties whose names are mentioned In 'the

in one of those papers that certain wares and

revenue law, and the firm have answered through
their attorneys. whose names appear upon the
back OF the papers. No later than the 9Th inst,
UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEY BLISS
stated in the most positive and emphatic manner
to reporters OF the press that there was no truth
whatever in the rumOr that a suit had been COM
menced for the cause stated against Phelps, Dodge
Co.
1t is apparent from the action now taken by the
United States authorities that the whole case will
come up for trial or hearing and that the charges
against the company will be met on the only
ground where serious charges or the nature can be
either supported by the government or contro-
verified by the defence.

dered verdict Tor the plaintiff in the full amount.
