Robbery and ExtOrtiOn Practiced Upon
Them.
DODGE CITY, KANSAS, June 27.-A
largely attended meeting of Texas drov-
ers was held here last night to take action
regarding depredations committed by
the Kiowa and Comanche Indians on
through herds of Texas cattle while pass

that regular system of robbery and ex-
tOrtion is being practiced by these Indians
on Texas herds; that in some instances as
many as twenty-five head of the finest
beef cattle are fOrcibly taken from one
herd, and in others large sums Of money
were demanded and paid before the herds
were allowed to proceed northward.
Resolutions were adopted condemning in
the strongest terms this unlawful system
and asking redress at the hands of the
government, as well as to stop these out
rageous marauders from further hinder
ing the great cattle industry carried on

A LIBEL SUIT.
A Decision of General Interest to News
paper Publishers.

Decision of General Interest to News
paper Publishers.
BOSTON, June 27.-The Supreme Court
in the case of Charles Cowley against R.
NJ. Pulsifer ct al, proprietors of the Bos-
ton Herald, has gwen a decision OF general
interest to publishers OF newspapers. The
petition for the removal of Cowley
from the membership of the bar
was filed in the Clerks office of
the Supreme Court, and the same being
published in the Herald, Cowley began
suit for libel. The case came up in the
Superior Court, and the presiding Judge
concurring in the views of counsel for the
defendant that, as the petition had been
filed in open court, il was privileged
communication, ruled that the plaintiff
could not maintain his action, and directed
verdict for the defendant. COwley took
his exceptions to the Supreme Court, which
have been sustained, and that court holds
that 1t was not privileged communica-
ton, and to justify the verdict for the de-
fendant it should have been shown that
the charges in the petition against Cow
ley were true. The full court lays down
/ the rule that newspapers, in reporting
cases actually ON trial in any court. are
protected from libel suits, but they can
not set up a privilege as defense in a
libel suit, after publishing an ex parte
statement of the case, taken from the pa
pers on file in the Office of the Clerk of the
Court. 1t is also held that papers on file
In the Clerks Office are not open to public
inspection, and that only the written
record of the case disposed of is open to
such inspection.

Meets with Firm Refusal.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-Congressman
Calkins, OF. Indiana, together with sew
eral other members OF the House, called
on the President to-day in the interest of
his client, Gen. Swain. He asked the
President. to abandon the proposed court
martial recommended in the case of that
officer by the court of inquiry recently
convened in this city. Mr.. Calkins rep
resented that it would be an actof mercy
to relinquish further proceedings against
Gen. Swain, inasmuch as the health of
that officer had already been seriously
affected, so that he was suffering
from insomnia and nervous prostration.
President Arthur replied that he was sur
prised that such a request should be made
in behalf of Swain. He had supposed
that any honorable officer would be only
too glad to have the opportunity of ap-
pearlng before cOurt-martial to answer
the charges of so grave a character as
those brought against Gen. Swain. He
added that he could not entertain the
proposition for a moment. The court-mar-
tial will be ordered.

TORONTO. ONT, June 27.-The Globe
to-day, in an editorial on the state Of
business, says the fall in bank stocks
during the past few days has been very
heavy, especially in the Federal Bank,
but serious as the decline in the price of
Federal shares is for holders, the fall
in price will not be of much
importance except to brokers, who have
been caught on the wrong side of the
market. The business of the country to-
day is in sounder condition than it was
a year ago, and the promise Of the crops
is much better than it was at that time
last year. AS soon as the turmoil of the
Presidential election is over business in
the States will resume its normal activity
and better demand at better prices will
spring up for our lumber and other ex-
portable products.
The stock Of the Federal Bank opened
to-day at "a and broke to 651z, causing the
widest excitement ON 'Change. All sorts
of rumors prevail, including one that the
Montreal and Merchants Bank will ASST st

pen Bakers. He was released. A mass
meeting was held yesterday morning,

the guilty party. Rewards have been
