THE U. S. SUPREME COURT.
Decision in the Mississippi Railroad
Cases.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The supreme
court TO day rendered its decision upon
the petition of Paymaster General
Joseph S. Smith, of the navy depart
ment that a writ of prohibition
issue restraining the secretary of the
navy from further proceedings against
him by court martial or for otfenses
alleged to have been committed in con-
nection with the administration of his
functions AS chief of a bureau Of the
navy department. The petition had
been denied by the supreme court of
the District of Columbia, and this
Judgment is affirmed by the supreme
court of the United States.
The court also rendered the decision
in three cases known as the Mississip-
pi Railroad Commission cases. The
Judgment of the circuit court from
which these are appeals were reversed,
and the causes are remanded. The
railroads concerned are the Illinois
Central, the Mobile & Ohio and the
New Orleans & North Eastern. The
principle involved is the right of a
State to pass laws controlling in GER
tain respects railroads which extend
into other States. The decision is fa
vorable to State control.

a compliment as he has paid any new
member" The Rivers and HarboTs
Committees composed. Of only fifteen
members and they have charge Of the
vast appropriations made for the

will enable Gen. Catchings to exert a
wonderful influence for the Missis-

rhoa M. Keene. The Actor,

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 4.-Thos.
W. Keene, the actor, while attending
a reception last night by the order of
Elks suffered a rupture of small
blood vessel in the head. He was
taken to his hotel and is confined to
his bed to-day. He will not appear in
Richard the Third tonight as adver
tised, but it is hoped that he will be
able to fulfill his engagement for to-
morrow night. He had a similar at
tack at Iowa City two weeks ago.
One of the attending physicians
describes the trouble, which was re-
ported to be in the head as moter
paralysis, a form which sometimes
afIiIcts pedestrians. He did not
consider Mr.sKeene's illness alarming
and expressed the opinion that he
would be able to appear tomorrow
night.

SENATOR BECK.
Ex-President Davis's Daughter
Writes Letter and Also Sends a
Little Water Color Painting.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-During the
holiday recess of congress and since the
delivery of his speech in favor of sill
yer coinage, Senator Beck has received
more letters than any other member of
the senate. In fact letters have come
to him by the hundreds daily, all of
;hem copmending the position he has
taken urging him to stand firm in sup
port Of the silver dollar, while the
bulk Of these letters have come from
the west and south, not few have
been sent by residents of the east.
Among the tributes Of commentator
that reached Senator Beck by mail,
during the holidays, was one from the
youngest daughter Of Mr.. Jefferson
Davis, of Mississippi. She sent a little
waters color painting representing a
silvery moon looking down through a
sheen of silyery clouds. Upon pros
porous landscape underneath was
written, in Miss Davis hand: "Diana's
tribute to the champion of silver 1t
is perhaps fair to say that all the
commendatlons he has received failed
to please the senator as much as this
little picture.

rived and the balance will be here in
time for the converting session to-
morrow at IL m. .
The candidates for the offices are
stirring around lively and are work
ing the field for all there is in it. The
prominent candidates for speaker are
Gen. J. II. Sharp, of Lowndes; II. G.
Williamson, of Carroll Frank Bur
kett, of Chirkasaw 0. B. Collins, of
Clarke. and 7. V. NolAud, Of Wilkin-
son. They are all gentlemen Of intel.
ligence and either would ill the posi-
tion creditahly. The friends Of each
think their favorite stands the best
chance Of securing the prize, bnt the
matter is in so much doubt that moth
lag but a ballot can determine their
respective strength.
There are numerous candidates for
clerk and none are idle. 1t is safe to say
that the winning candidate for this
office will have few votes to spare.
There are also full quota Of caudl-
dates for the remaining Offices Of both
senate and house.
A Bar Association was held here to-
day, over one hundred members were

Fitzgerald and John w, Fewell. A
memorial was prepared praying con-
gress to establish new Federal court
district in Mississippi for the Southern

FIatterlng Prospects for the Steel
Rail Manufacturers.


Rail Manufacturers
NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Tne Times
this morning, prints long interview
with Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, of Pitts.
burg. Pa. Mr.. Carnegie thinks the
outlook for steel rail business is most
hopeful and expresses himself as firmly
believing in general revival of buoi-
ness. With the reporter, he yesterday
talked freely regarding the cheerful
outlook for the coming year, "We
furnished steel rails last year at $25
and $26 Il ton," he said "rather than
close our works; such price was Of
course, sbnormally low, and on each
ton produced manufactures lost money.
We were making rails as cheap as. they
were made in Great Britain. and
American manufacturers furnished
rails to Canada at a less price than
England could do it, but it was done
at less than cost of production. Prices
have now assumed something like a
normal condition, and rails are selling

porter? wholly to natural causes,
A new era of railroad building
has set in in the northwest and
Southwest, having Chicago as its cen.
ire or haSe One cOmDanV alone has
just placed an order for 10000 tons of
rails for an extension Of It's system. In
addition to this demand for rails for
new lines. the recent disinclination on
the part of railroad companies to ex'
pend money for new track iron to re-
place the old, has resulted in wearing
out of the old, which must now be re-
placed. Enough is now known, not
only to insure continuance of exist
ing price, but to make possible slight
advance"

Arrest of Man for Obstructlng
Mails and Blocking. up a Rail-
road. .t.I.".
HAMMOND, IND, Jan. 5.-M. M.
Towle, a wealthy citizen. and ex x-mayor
of this city, WAS arrested and taken to
indianapolis by United States Marshal
Hawkins yesterday, charged with
obstructing and delaying the United
States mail by stopping the Louisville.
New Albany & Chicago passenger
train. Some years ago this road
bought from Mr. Towle some land
lying between the right of way of the
Nickel Plate and Chicago and Atlantic
roads, and constructed a drawbridge
over the Calumet river. This bridge,
when opened, extended few feet be-
yond what Mr.. Towle thought was the
railroad company's right of way line,
and over what he called his property,
although it was portion Of
the river channel, and the prop
erty Of the government. AS the
strip of land between the Nickle
Plate and New Albany right of way
was practically unapproachable and
useless. Mr.. Towle has for several
years past endeav ored to sell it to the
New Albany road, claiming also that
when the company secured its right of
way through Mr.. Andrew Crawford's
it was understood that he should be
paid for this strip Of land which is
contrary to the understanding claimed
by the New Albany officials. Seeing
that the company could not be in
duced to buy the land, Towe
on Sunday had mud scow and
a tug boat at the bridge, AMI
. .signaled to have it opened. When the
bridge was opened the two boats were
securely anchored by Mr.. Towle, and
several hundred men in such a way
that the bridge could not be closed
and that trains could not pass. Be-
sides, he had hot water and hose in
readiness to thwart any attempt to
loosen bolts and close the bridges. Supt.
Woatward was soon on the spot and
took in the situation. Towle would not
allow the bridge to be closed and the
United States marshal was telegraphed
for with the result as above stated.
The penalty for delaying mails is
81 900 fine, and for obstructing line
in Indiana two years imprisonment in
the penitentiary and 81 900 fine.
