TERRIBLE DISASTER AT SEA.


WAsHINGToN, Jan. 81.
The Louisiana complication has been
transferred to Washington, and Justice
Bradley Is again central head of an
electoral complication. Should his de.
cision be favorable TO the petitioners,
the United States might feel called
upon to execute its processes against
those of the Louisiana State Courts.
A messenger arrived in behalf OF the
Returning Board yesterday, to present
its affairs to Justice Bradley. who is
yer in Louisiana District. The pa
pers recite all stages of the case, and
the evident unfairness with which
the Board has been treated, and ask
that the Judge of the State Court, now
trying Anderson, be commanded to
suspend the trial until the Judges of the
Circuit Court decide whether the case
ought not to be transferred to their
Court. The grounds of this applics
ton to Justice Bradley are based on
the State law, under which, It Is
claimed, that when sffidayits, upon
which q request for q transfer to the
United States Court were land before
the judge of the State Court. it became
the duty of The latter to send them at
once TO the United States Court, as a
matter OF routine. and that the United
States Court can alone decide the ques-
ton of transfer. Good lawyers say the
Board are in the right in this matter of
law. 1t is probable that Justice Brad
ley will confer with his associates on
the question.

Decline In Gold.
NEW YORK. Jan. 81.
The decline in gold is due to the re-
duction OF the Bank of England's notes
tn two per cent, and advices from
Washington that there was q slight
detection in the silver ranks, which
might prevent the Bland bill from get
ting a two thirds vote in the Senate.
The announcement that the bill was
postponed until Mondy also had some
effect.
