The Railroad COmmissioners-
Reductions Proposed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19.--At the meet
ing of the Railroad Commission this
morning communication was read from
Controller Dunn regarding the attor-
'>neys fees in the case Of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company versus the old
Board oil Commissioners. They had
agreed to pay Belcher & Belcher $1,000,
Chapman K carter $1,000 and Clitus
Barbour $500 as fees to defend
fthe Commission in the United States
Circuit Court. Judge Field recently
decided the case to the effect that the
State had no power to regulate fares and
freights OF steamers plying three miles
out from land. The Railroad Commits.
sisners contended that the attorneys
were bound to prosecute the case to o
final termination, meaning the United
States Supreme Court. Governor Stone
man of the old Board, being consulted,
said he also so understood it Commits
sioner Foote stated that the attorneys
refused to proceed further without ad-
ditional fees. On motion of Carpenter,
the lawyers will be requested to advise
the Board how to proceed to Ascertain if
the decision of Judge Field is eonclu-
sive.
Carpenter offered resolution for o re.
duetion of thirty per cent on pres
ent rates on all cereals from San Fran
cisco, Port Costa, Stockton and Sacra-
mento to all other points, and between
the same, of twenty-five per cent. on
flour and ground grain of all kinds from,
to and between the same points. Other
reductions averaging twenty per cent.
are proposed, mainly on farming imple-
ments, grain sacks, etc.

it is impossible to understand how the
case was developed, as the steamer did
not stop at any of the Mex can ports
except Mazatlan, and only there to take
on the mails, which were thoroughly
fumigated. The vessel has seventeen
cabin passengers and fifty-nine steerage.
The steamer has been placed in quaran.
