The Coronation at MOscOW-Plans to De-
 feat the Nfhf1ist Plots.
 VIENNA, April 11.-Prince Alexander, of Bulgaria, and Prince Niketa, of Montenegro, are en route to Athens on 8 visit to King George. In the first week in May it is not improbable that the three sovereigns will start from Athens and make the journey to- gether to Moscow to attend the coronation of the Czar. Private letters from Moscow state that the most elaborate preparations have been taken to defeat the plans of the Nihilists. The Russian authorities have hired large number of private houses in Moscow as quarters for the Russian guards who are to be sent to strengthen the garri- son during the coronation ceremonies and festivities. :. For strategic reasons several groups of contiguous houses have been taken in the various parts of Moscow, and series of important points will thus be occupied, which will completely command the city.

An Important Decisfon-The Talk of Law
 OHeerz.-Ofher Matters.

 Ohicers-Other Matters. WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Supreme court of the United States rendered decis ion on Monday last which has been the sub ject of comment among the law officers of some of the executive departments. The cashier of 8 national bank in St. Louis, Mo, swore before notary public that certain re- turns made to the comptroller of the curren- cy were true, while in fact they were false. The cashier was indicted for perjury, He demurred to the indictment on the technical ground that under the laws of the United States notary public is not an officer or person competent to administer such an oath. The opinion of the court sustains ~the demurrer and the officers referred to hold that the decision will have the effect of freeing all persons swearing to false bank returns from the penalties of perjury provided the oath is administered by notary public. A presumption is entertained that the opinion will also give the same result in similar cases where the oath is taken before 6 justice of the peace or authorized State officer.

Burke began this morning in the Green street court house, and the work of calling the jury was forthwith begun. Notwithstanding the fact that it was known that all absentees would be sum- mariIy fined e1OO, many of the jurors on the panel failed to appear and respond to their names. The work of swearing in the jury occupied an hour, the counsel for the prisoner having the right to challenge twenty of the number. The case for the crown was opened by MT. Porter. He pointed out to the jury that the duty they were called upon to perform was one of the most serious that could fall on citizens He exhorted them to dismiss from their minds altogether anything they had read or heard of in connection with the case. and to be guided by the evidence produced at the trial. The first witness called was Farrell, the informer who testified at the prelimin- ary examination of the prisoners in the Kill mainham court house. He repeated the tes- timony given at that time. James Carey, who also turned informer at the Kilmainham' investigation, was the next witness His evidence was the same as he had before given. Upon the conclusion of Carey's direct examination the court adjourned for the day. Carey's face was flushed while he was giving his evidence.

 Traffic.
 NEW YORK, April 11.-Railroad traffic managers listened for hours to-day at the Windsor Hotel to the arguments of live stock dealers and shippers of dressed beef, the subject of freight rates being the bone of contention. P. D. Armour in his argument claimed that the live stock shippers repre- senting $2o, 900. 900 to $8O, GOO, GOO were com bined to light the dressed beef trade so as to drive 1t out of the market. He maintained that the present freight schedule of 30 cents hundred for live stock and 64 cents hun dred for dressed beef was sufficient discrim- ination without any greater difference being established. MT. Allertop suggested that the charge of 50 per car for yardage imposed upon live stock should be borne by the ship pers of dressed beef, but MT. Armour thought such proposition preposterous. After a free interchange of opinions the conference adjourned.
