Alexander, Of New York, was to-day ap'
pointed by Judge Wood, OF the United
States Circuit Court, Receiver Of the New
Orleans, st. Louis 4 Chicago Railroad
Simultaneous applications were made TO
the Court by Judge Campbell, represent
ing the Illinois Central Railroad Com.
pany, and Semmes and Mott, representing
the income mortgage bondholders. Gen
Walthall, OF counsel for the defendant
company, admitted at the outset that the
application for the appointment OF a re-
ceiver could not be successfully resisted,
but earnestly opposed the demand OF the
Illinois Company for decree putting the
Trustees named in their mortgage into
immediate possession OF the road.
MI. Semmc9 united with the defendant
company in opposing this application,
but assentcd TO receiver. Judge Wood
this morning denied the application Of
the Illinois Central Roilroad Company 10
put their Trustees in possession, and with
the consent Of all parties mace the order
for the receiver, and directed the payment
Of wages and supply bills incurred with
in three months.
Friday evening in the Chambers, Judge
Wood heard the application 10 file a bill
in the District OF Alabama on the part Of
Morris Ketchum and others, Of New York,
with intent OF displacing the .present re.
ceivels OF the Mobile 4 Ohio Railroad,

gument of counsel, the Judge iinallygrnnt-
ed the application.

lips, Of the Springfield (Ill) Journal, who
has been spending some months in Cali
fornia, has Just returned. 1t being re.
ported that he was in possession OF facts
relating to frauds upon the revenue in
that section OF the country, n reporter
from the Tribune interviewed him. The
published interview has led Col. Phillips
to say that il is an exaggeration Of what
he said. He says that he is convinced
from what he saw that there are many ir-
regularities in the revenue and customs
service on the Pacific Coast, but that he
he will communicate the facts only to
the authorities at Washington, whittier he
will 60 in few days. Colonel Phillips
is moi regularly employed in the service
OF the government, his chief business in
California having been the care Of an in
valid soiL .
SAN FRANCISCO, March ia. B.
Clark, the special Revenue Agent
detailed to investigate the whisky frauds
on the coast, referring 10 dispatch re-
ceived from Chicago by the papers OF the
American Press Association here, to-day,
stating, on the authority of d. L. Phil.
lips, the Revenue Agent recently on the
coast, that testimony will be presented
to Congress, by request Of Secretary
Bristow, showing the connection Of
United States Senator Sargent with fraud
and corruption in the revenue service on
the coast, states that in his Investigations
into fraud in the revenue here he has
found no evidence 10 implicate Mr.. Sar-
gent, and has no knowledge Of any inten.
ton on the part OF the Secretary or the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue to
place the Investigations now being made
in the hands Of committee Of Congress.
As regards Phillips statement that the
Custom House here is rotten TO the core,
and that not fifty per cent Of the revenue
due is collected, S. D. Mills, the Special
Agent Of the Treasury Department here,
states that while il is true that very
large proportion OF the revenue ia not
collected, TIE fault lies mainly in the
defective organization Of the customs
service at this port, and the delegation Of
extraordinary powers to collect, rather
than to fraudulent practices.

The grand jury cannot find any indict-
ment against ex-Secretary Belknnp in
the absence Of Marsh, the principal wit
ness. The Assistant District Attorney
states that the evidence presented taus
far to the grand jury is insufficient to
warrant it in bringing an indictment, and
ii is more than probable that unless
Marsh can be brought back to testify it
will be impossible to punish Belknap

Col Stcinberger's In
Trouble.

Col. Stcinberger's Government In
Trouble.
SAN Francisco, March ia private
letter from Apia, Samoa, says the armed
schooner Peerless, purchased here by Col.
Steinberger for the Samoan Government,
was seized by the commander Of the Bri-
tish ship.of-war Barracuda, after consul
tation with the American and British
Consuls, for carrying arms under the
American flag. She was dismantled and
sold by Mr.. Foster, the American Consul,
TO Captain Mackenzie. Of Auckland. A
meeting Of foreign residents was then
held. The British, German and American
Consuls were present. Steinberger was
called on 10 show his commission from the
United States, which he did. The British
commander forbade his countrymen to
obey the Samoan laws, and sent 70 FIJI for
another war ship. a proclamation was
issued by the Captain OF the Barracuda,
the American. British and German Con-
suls, reciting that as the Samoan Govern
ment has set aside the legitimate authori.
ty Of the representatives Of foreign pow
ers, they agree that hereafter the Samoan
laws shall not be carried into effect with
regard to foreigners, but they shall be
governed by their respective Consulate
courts. The letter, which is evidently
written by friend Of steinberger, says
the English will either force the samoans
to send away steinberger, which they will
not do, or will take the island by force.
