Argument ms Commenced in the Chics.

CHICAGO, March 6.-The motion for an in
junction to restrain the city from interfering
with the Mutual Union Telegraph Company,
in the recent cutting of the wires by the
mayor some days since, came before the
United States Circui; Court to-day. After
hearing the argument, Judge Drummond
held that the Mutual Union Company, hav-
ing come into the city on an agreement that
its wires should be laid under ground before
March l, 1888, it must abide by the terms
of that contract; that its right to carry wires
on poles expired by limitsiion. On the 9TH
er hand, the mayor Of the city, in causing
the wires to be cut, did an unlawful act. His
course properly was to apply TO the court for
adjudication on the contract. Tn court de-
Glued to Issue an injunction in terms which
would allow the wires 10 be connected again.
He would, if plaintiff desired, restrain the
city from any further summary interference
with its property.
Mayor Harrison says the decision leaves
him nothing to do but to station q force Of
police at the point where the wires were cut
to prevent the company from Recommending
them.
Superintendent Chapman, Of the Mutual
Union, said that under the ruling of the
Court the company could sue the city fol-
damages.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The clerk of the

that court. Two thousand Two hundred
cases out of 300 filed aggregate nearly $14,-

REVENUE.
THE BUSINESS OF THE COUNTRY NOT INJURED
BY THE RECENT AGITATION.

TIKI BUSINES OF THE NOf INJURED
BY TIE RECENT AGITATION.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The claim made
in several quarters that the agitation and
delay by Congress over the internal revenue
reduction and tariff revision had seriously
affected the business of the country, is not
borne out by the records of the internal rev.
enue, and the examination OF the receipts for
the past eight months shows there is not only
not a falling off, but that ssere has been a
net increase of S6,00S,475 over the corre-
spending period last year. The new tariff
bill provides that revenue reductions shall
go into effect May LIST. This will, therefore,
affect the receipts of the bureau for but two
months of the present fiscal year. April and
May are usually the heaviest months, but on
account of the change it is expected there
will be a considerable falling of. The com.
mittee estimated that the reduction on special
taxes and tobacco would cut of about$ Sc, 200,
GOO up to June Both, which will make the
present years receipts $40, 00o, 900, com
pared with S146. O00, 900 for last year. The
reduction for the next fiscal year, commenc
ing July /, 1888, will be $40, 00o,0 oO.

yolved the settlement for 10000 OF the
