The Shorthand Reporters and the
Courts.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-The shorthand
reporters continue to paralyze the business
Of the courts. In Judge Ferral's court
this morning a reporter refused to do any
more work until his demands for his sal
airy were paid. The Judge thereupon I'D
journed the court, awaiting the action Of
the Supervisors this evening. Judge Toohy
states that the second trial Of John 8.
Gray, set for tomorrow, will have to be
indefinitely postponed, and other cases
will also have to be put over. The Su-
preme Court says the commitment OF the
reporters on the part of the Superior
| judges was an excess of authority on their
part. So no cases can be tried until the
courts are extricated from the dilemma.
