The Chicago and Alton railroad has
decided upon new freight tariff, to go
into effect December LIST, which pre-
scribes rates substantially the same as
those recently made by the railroad and
warehouse commissioners. The manag-
ers of the Alton say they do this without
conceding the right Of the commissioner
to fix rates for their road, but they de-
sire to avoid oppressive aud vexatious
litigation until the cases now pending IN
the supreme court are decided. The IL
linois Central and Rock Island take the
same course for the same reasons. The
other roads have not announced their in
tentions regarding the new law, and
trouble with them is not improbable.

An unsuccessful attempt has been
made by the terrorists against the czar.
The imperial family has, in consequence,
decided upon removing at once from
Gatschina, and private sources confirm
the report. The Russian police, with.
out letting the fact become known, made |
many arrests in st. Petersburg, Charkow
and Tchermigoff. Among the prisoners
are chief of police Of on important pro-
vincial city, two daughters of a high state
official and two Jewish merchants, be- |
sides number of students and members
of the nihilist party. The plot was an
extraordinary one. 1t was decided to
cause a balloon to ascend at Gatschina,
carrying quantity Of dynamite and ex-
plosive fire-balls, together with an appli-
ance to cause the balloon to. fall within
the palace yard, where it would explode
and set the place on fire. In the confu-
sion it was intended to seize the czar and
family. The machine seized shows that
everything was in readiness for the exc
cution Of the plot.
The programme for congressional me-
mortal and eulogistic services over the
late President Garfield has been nearly
arranged and will be exceedingly simple.
It has been arranged that eulogistic ad-
dresses shall be delivered in the two
houses by two representatives, and two
senators. Senator Sherman will proba-
bly, be one of the senators. and Randolph
Tucker one of the representatives. Mrs,
Harrison Glazier, at present in the inter.
ior department, and from Cuyahoga
county, Ohio, and graduate of Hiram

says the United States government will

stronger terms that this government can
not look on quietly and see Peru divest-

icy of humiliating Peru and forcing her

poets some moderation in the policy
now pursued by Chill toward the con.
quered foe.

ffcncii-Amerfcan Claims Cominiasi0ns
WAsnfsoroS, December 20,--Frcncli and
American Claims Commission mot today.
The case Of Arthur Levy W. the United
States, was postponed. A motion was
made by the United States Commissioners
to dismiss the claims Of Faucher Poscy
ct. al, on the ground. that the claimants
were American citizens at the time the
treaty was made and also to dismiss the
claim Of Il. Jacobs who held under assign
ment from Posey, because the assignment
was made subsequent to the ratifi-
cation of the treaty, The cases
Omer VS.. the United States, and Ph1ippi
VS.. the United States were submitted by
counsel to the Commission for decision,
upon printed briefs. French counsel
moved to postpone the consideration Of the
demurrer in case ofFrancais Lepert VS.. the
United States, until all evidence should
be put in. The demurrer in
this case is based upon the allegation
merely that the property was destroyed by
United States troops without averring that
orders were given for such destruction.
Counsel for France contended that the ALE
CATION was enough tojustify taking evidence.
The secretary was directed to furnish the
Commission with printed copies of all pa
pers in cases submitted for decision upon
their merits. The Commission adjourned
to December %.
