Tie Telegraph War.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1.-Justico Millor this morn.
ing delivered decision in the case of tho
Western Union telegraph company VS.. the
Union Pacific aud Kansas Pacific railroad com.
panles aud tho American Union telegraph
company, recently argued before the United
States circuit court here. The court does not dis.
solve tho injunction, but says: "Wo are both of
the opinion that the railroad company has the
right, as it always had, to tho exclusive use Of
the first wire on the telegraph poles, and we
are of the opinion that, US the matter stands at
this stage of the proceedings, tue company
should have the right, pending further litiga-
tion of the case, to use that wire, not only for
the ordinary business OF tho road, but for the
purpose OF transmitting commercial and paid
messages for the public in general; 1t has no
right to interfere with tho Western Union tel
egraph company IN tho use of the other two
wires for purpose Of carrying all messages
of whatever class it may choose to carry over
tho wires, and that il is proper that au order
should bo made which should stand to repre-
sent this principle"

day of election, and that tho candidates preferred
by the majority of the actual citizens of the repub
lic-the candidate who will be true to the genius of

Representative Carlisle of Kentucky and
Judge Lochrane of Georgia visited Postmas'
ter-Genoral Maynard yesterday aud urged him
to suspend the recent order stopping the mails
of tho Kentucky State Lottery company until
the final termination of tho lottery cases nov
pending before the United States supreme
court. Tho argument presented by these gen,
tlemou was directed especially against dis.
elimination. They urged that the department
should not stop the mails of the Common
wealth Distribution and the Kentucky State
Lottery companies without treating the Lou
isiaua State Lottery company in the same
way. 1t was also argued that in such cases 40
tAis the state should be the judge, aud not the
supreme court, In this connection the fact
was stated that the state Of Kontucky through
its court of appeals, had three times decided
that the Kentucky state lottery WAS legally
conducted. The postmaster-Srnera took the
matter under Rdyisemeut aud promised to
give his reply to-day.

THE Marine BAND.
Something About the Man Who is to Succeed
Schneider,


Schneider,
As stated in THE NATIONAL REPUBLIcAN
yesterday, Louis Schneider, the old leader of
the Marine band, having been relieved from
further service, Mr.. John =. Soussa was ap-
pointed to I'll the vacancy. Mr. Sousja, who has
been travelling in tho west with Mackcy 8
Filtration" combination, arrived in the city
yesterday in response to a telegram sent %
him. He reported for duty to Colonel Nc.
Carley of the marine corps, aud was granted
ten days leave In order to arrange his private
affairs Tho now leader Is a native of Wash.
ingtou, and u son of George Soussa, II Spsniard,
aud veteran musician, who served in the
Marine band for many years. Though now only
twenty-five years of age, his experience as n
director and rcnOwn as u composer aud an ar
ranger OF music are great. He became mcm-
Der of the Marine band at the age of seventeen
and remained there about three years, when
hO found wider and moro agreeable field for
his talents outside. lie served for somo time
as musical director ut the Theatre COlnique
aud for a brief period in the same capacity at
Ford's opera.house. Subsequently he was
leader of Max Husslcrs orchestra at Phladel-
phia, and then became director OF the Phila.
delphia Church Choir combination. During
tho present year he has been connected with
Mackcy's "Our Filtration" combination rs
musical director. Though the master Of many
of the most difficult musical instruments
his forte appears to be that Of II composer and
director. Ills arrangement and Orchestration
of the music of "Pinaiore" was pronounced
by competent critics to be superior even to
that of Sullivan himself. He has during tho
past few years accomplished cast amount of
musical work. Among his compositions is the
music of "Cuthariue," the opera by Mr.. w. J.
Vance, which will be produced this winter.
He also wrote the greater part of the score of
the "Smugglers." Mr.. Soussa long ago ex.
pressed his purpose, were he ever made leader
of the Marine band, to make IL al organiza-
tion whicn would be national in reputation.

commissioners OH the subject of n petition in
behalf of changing tho license board so us to
have three unOhjectonable citizens not con.
nectod with the District government APP
pointed to constitute said board. The petition
was signed by the pastors Of tho protestant
churches Of the District. The commissions ors
received tho committee In very respectful
manner, and their arguments were listened to
attcntively. OF course no definite action WAS
taken. The committee was impressed with a
divided opinion as to the probable result of tho
effort. The commissioners insisted that their
action In granting licenses had been guided by
the letter and spirit OF the law, and that the
public mind had been misluformed on that
subject. The delegation insisted that public
feeling on this question had reached point
where, in their judgment, u change In the
excise board would best subserve the public
interest. They expressed readiness to
present q list Of names of unexccptionable
citizens from which to select three members
who should be appointed to constitute the
license board. While tho commissioners ex.
pressed u purpose to give the matter their
serious attention, no action WIS taken in
either direction.
From notice that appears in another part
of THE REPUBLICAN it will be seen that Il
large meeting is 10 be held In Lincoln Hall
tomorrow, Sunday afternoon, at which this
subject will be thoroughly discussed In all its
bearings upon tho public welfare. The Rev.
DR.. Lanahan will preside and addresses will
be made by Rev. A. J.. Mason, Rev. Dr. Ran
