to the jury was delivered by Judge Wade.
The jury then retired and continued their
deliberations for twenty hours, or until
noon to-day, when they rendered sealed
verdict, which was read by Judge Wade.
The following is the verdict: eve the
jury in the above case find the defendant
guilty of assault-W. TEL. Black, fore
man." The Jury was then discharged for
the term. Nee was fined $50 and costs.
Chas. Schmidt, alias j. W. Gahan, was
brought into court and pleaded guilty to
the charge of forgery. He was sentenced
to one year in the penitentiary.
We were informed that the grand jury
had found several indictments which were
not made known. There was no indict-
ment found against the man who has been
held for several months on the charge ot
killing an Indian near Dupuyer, and he
was discharged from custody. Consider
able civil business has been disposed of by
the court, which leaves the docket pretty
clean.

New Chinese Minister.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Chinese
Minister upon his arrival here will at once
take up his residence at the Chinese lega-
ton. The minister and members of the
old legation will receive the new minister
and his suite on their arrival at the rail-
road station. This viii be followed at the
legation by formal presentations and the
more formal kotoW, when the minister
and members of the old legation PROSTATE
themselves to the floor to salute the new
representative Of their empire. The new
minister is not over forty. He brings no
family with him, but his household is a
large one, and includes, officials and SER
wants, thirty or forty persons. He also
represents his government il Spain and
Peru, and makes all the appointments at
the three legations and all consulates.
But one or two of the old legation expect
to remain. 1t is doubtful If Mr.. Lee will
go back. He was educated at Hartford,
and is one of the 100 young students
brought over by Yong Wing, and educat-
ed here by the Chinese government.

HELENA, April 24.-A Winnipeg special
ssvs: 1t has just transpired that owing
n Canadian Pacific opposition TO the ex-
tonsion of Sir A. It. Galt's line from Leth-
bridge through the Macleod country TO-
rort Benton, negotiations for building the
line this summer have been broken off.
~ q prominent railroad man in Montana,
tbe other day, Sir George Stephens, pres
;aeRt of the Canadian Pacific, admitted
fiat the company would force its monop-
alvin the territories. He stated that that
country (meaning Northern Montana,
doubtess,) was J. J. Hill's, and that gem
deman had on foot a scheme to build a
line from Fort Benton through the Cana
dian territory and on to the Pacific.
Connections, it is stated, would be made
with the Manitoba railroad at DEVILS
Lake from which point to Fort Buford,
$50 miles, contract had already been let
for building road. Next summer the
line is to be extended on to Fort Benton,
and from thence into Canadian territory.
Connection is to be made from Devils
Lake to Duluth and subsequently with the
Sault Ste. Marie. 1t is stated that the Ca
madam Pacific directors contemplate an
earlv withdrawal from the Canadian Pa
cific for the purpose Of going in with Mr..
Hill in the venture outlined. 1t is sig
nifcant fact that Messrs. Angus and Nc
Intire of the Canadian Pacific have re-
Gently sold large blocks of their stock in
the Ontario & Quebec, a connection OF the
Canadian Pacific, and put the money in
the Manitoba stock. They sold at lO4 and
it cost only so. Sir A. t. Gait is now in
Ottawa endeavoring to induce the Cana
dian Pacific to forego its objections to the
extension of his road to Fort Benton.

Court Proceedings
SECOND DAY.


The third judicial district court for the

\ ton of the grand jury.

RAILWAY DISCRIMINATION.
The Supreme Court Decides Against
the INV OF lIiimoin.

The Supreme Court Decides Against
the Law OF Illinois.
The Supreme Court rendered it, deci-
sion to-day in the case of the Wabash,
St. Louis and Pacific Railroad company,
plaintiffs in error, against the State of
Illinois. The specific allegation was
that the railroad company charged Elder
& Mckinney fifteen cents per hundred
pounds for transporting goods from Pc
oTia TO New York city, and on the same
day charged Isaac Bailey and +. {.
Swannell twenty-five cents per hundred
pounds for the same class o. goods from
Gilman, ILL.,, TO New York, Gilman be-
ing eighty-siX miles nearer than Peoria
TO New York. The discrimination, IL
was alleged, was III violation of the law
of Illinois, which prohibits any charge
for the transportation of passengers or
freight within the Safe of Illinois pro-
portIonately greater than would be
charged for the transportation of pas
sengers or like classes of freight cover a
greater distance of the same road. "
The gist of the decision is contained in
the conclusion, as follows:
"When IL is attempted to apply to
transportation through an entire series
of States a principle of this kind aud
each one of the States, or OF half a do
zen States, shall attempt to establish its
own rates of transports lion, its own
methods TO prevent discrimination in
rates or to PERMIT it, the deleterious in
fiuence upon the freedom of commerce
among the 81 ties, and uEon the trans
portation of goods through those States
cannot be verestimated. That this spe-
cies OF regulation is one which must be,
if established at all, of general and ma
tional chaTacte. and cannot be safely
and wisely RENTED to local rules and
local regulations, we think is clear from
what has already been said. And if it
he regulation of commerce, as we
think we have demonstrated 1t Is, and as
the Illinois Court comedies it to be, it
must be of national character, and the
regulation can only appropriately be by
general rules and principles which de-
mard that it should be done by the Con-
Gres5 of the United States under the
commerce clause of the constitution.
The judgment of the Supreme Court
of Illinois, which was adverse to the
railroad, Is reversed and the case is re-
manded to that court for fuI Their pro-
ceedings in conformity with the above
opinion.
Justice Bradley delivered dissenting
opinion, in which the Chief Justice and
Justice Gray concurred. In this il is
conceded that Congress might, if it saw
fit, regulate the matter under considera-
ton, but not having done so it is held
that the State does not lose its power to
regulate the charges of its own territory,
simply because the goods or persons
transported have been brought from or
are destined to point beyond the State
borders. Phtid. Times.

FIoriGa's Timber Interests.

Reckless destruction of the standing
timber of this State will do more 70 give
us a financial set back than can any
other cause. In the selection and cut
ting OF timber, mill men have apparently
gone at it OH the principle that 1.-The
handiest is the best, when results show
the reverse to be the case.
In the slaughter of our pine forests,
Florida is losing dollars just as surely
as if the money was dumped into the
river. That we have excellent and ex-
ceedingly valuable timber interests
moves the Chicago Tjmberm0H to say:
Southern lands, and southern mills for
that matter, are good investments. 1t is
q matter of grave doubt if better can be
found any where in the country. South
ern timber may be carried with small
risk of fire, at low cost for taxes, and it
is yet to be had at prices so near the bed
rock limit as 10 make the realization of
n handsome profit almost q certainty.
This winter will see large sums put into
Southern timber, and the chances are
that not a dollar of the amount, what
ever it may be, will lie badly invested"
