ERN NEWS.

WASHINGTON, Nov. An the arguments
to-day in the Star Route cases, on motion
to set aside the criminal information, the
defense commended at great length that the
information did not set up any offense
recognized by the statutes, and that it was
unconstitutional to bring a citizen to trial
for a penal offense except by Indictment by
a Grand Jury. Bliss will open for the
Government. Bliss, in reply to the argu-.
ments of counsel Of the Star Reuters, ex-
planned to the Court that the reason the
Government had proceeded against the
thieves by information instead Of indict-
ment was that the Grand Jury had. been
adjourned till Oct. 8, and that unless pro-
ceediDgs had been commenced before Oct.
l, the statdte Of limitations would have
barred the prosecution on some of the
most important transactions of the Ring.
The defense was, he thought, far more
anxious to avoid facing a petit jury than
the prosecution was to go before q Grand
Jury.
Railroads and Steamships.
New York, Oct. 4.-The Union Pacific
Railroad Company has given formal notice
that the agreement with the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company has been cancelled.
1t is reported the Union and Central Pa
cific Companies are willing to form a new
alliance with the Pacific Mail upon terms
somewhat less favorable to the Steamship
Company, and also to purchase the two
Pacific Mail steamships forming the
China line, and it is probable that a salts
factory adjustment will be made within a
short time. If not, stock will, in the
opinion of insiders, go down considerably.
Pension Business.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The annual re-
port Of the Pension Bureau shows that on
June 80, 1881 there were 26s, 800 pensioners;
net increase during the year of 1S,02S.
The aggregate annual value Of all pensions
is $2S, 100, 967. The annual disbursements
of the Office, however, largely exceed this
sum. For instance, the total amount
paid for pensions during the year, exclu-
prior to Jan. 8, 1881, was $40, 723, TAT, the
difference being for arrears in pensions.
Another DefauIter.
NEWARK IN. ~, Nov. 4.-Henry B.
Marchbank, a we'll known resident of Belle
vile and formerly corresponding clerk Of
the Mechanics Bank, was arrested last
night on a charge OF being o defaulter to
the Bank in the sum Of $50, 900 within the
last three years. Marchbank left the bank
about two years ago and the 'defalcation
was covered up. He has not yet given
bail and is in the custody of the United
States Marshal.
The Herald ON Arthur's visit.
New YORK, Nov. 4.-The Herald sees
no reason to doubt that President Arthur
Is here simply to arrange private matters,
requiring his personal attention, and hav-
ing no relation whatever to politics. Since
his accession to the Presidency, Arthur
has maintained absolute neutrality with
regard to the political quarrels in this city
and State, and none OF his friends doubt
his intention to carry out q policy Of neu-
trality hereafter.
The Mason. Court Martial.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The War Depart
ment's idea in resembling the order for the
court martial for Mason, who shot at Gui-
teau, is that he was really insane. He is
now under medical surveillance. Should
he prove insane he will be sent to the Gov
eminent Asylum. Otherwise another
court martial will be ordered.

Sioux CRY (Iowa), Nov. 4.-The crew
