RATES ON THE RAILROADS
POWERS OF OFCOMMISSIONERs OF
A LOCAL NATURE.

Determination Out of the jurisdiction
of State Laws When the Goods Affect
ed Are Going Ont of the state-Justice
Miller of the supreme Court Makes
the Decision.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.--The Supreme
Court rendered its decision to-day in the
case of the Wabash, ST. Louis and Pacific
Railroad Company, plaintiffs in error,
against the people of the State of Illinois.
The specific allegation was that the rail-
road company charged Elder II Mckinney
15c. per 100 pounds for transporting goods
from Peoria to New York city, and on
the same day charged Isaac Bailey and
f. o. Swannell 25c. per 100 for the same
class of goods from Gilman, ILL.,, to New
York, Gilman being Sc miles nearer New
York than Peoria. The discrimination, 1T
was alleged, was in violation OF he law of
Illinois, which prohibits any charge for
the transportation of passengers or
freight within the State of Illinois pro-
portionally greater than would be
charged for the transportation of passen-
gers or like classes OF freight over a
greater distance on the same road
THE GIsT OF THE DECISION.
the conclusion, as follows: "W hen it is
attempted to apply to transportation
through an entire series OF States a prin-
ciple of this kind and each one of the
States, or il half a dozen States shall at
tempt to establish its own rates OF trans
portatlon and it's own methods to prevent
discrimination in rates or to permit it,
the deleterious influence upon the free
dom of commerce among the States and
| 81 ,cxl,
those States cannot be Overestlmated.
That this species of regulation is one
which must be, ii established at all, OF
| general and national character, and cam
not be safely and wisely remitted to local
| rules and local regulations, we think it
clear from what has already been SAID,
and II ii be regulation or commerce, as
we think we have demonstrated it 10, and
as the Illinois court comedies it to ne, it
must be of that national character, and
regulation can only appropriately be by
general rules and principles which de-
mand that it should be done by Congress
under the commerce clause Of the con-
stitution."
JUDGMENT REVERSED.
The judgment of the Supreme Court of
Hi . ois, which was adverse to the rail-
road, is reversed, and the case is remanded
to that court tor further proceedings, in
conformity with the above opinion. The
opinion is by Justice Miller. Justice
Bradley delivered a dissenting opinion, in
which the Chief Justice and Justice Gray
concurred. In this opinion it is conceded
that Congress might, If it saw fit, regu-
late the matter under consideration, but
not having done so it held that the State
does not lose its power to regulate the
charges of its own railroads In its own
territory simply because the goods, or
persons transporting them, have been
brought from or are destined to a point
beyond the State borders.

said TO have been seen with the woman
about week ago. He says he lives at
Boonton, N. j., but has nothing to say

POLES IN POLITICS.
A De mocratic Mass Meeting Broken
Up at Milwaukee.


Up at Milwaukee.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, oct. 25.-COnsid@
erable excitement was created here Sat-
urday night by the wild actions OF a mob
of Poles, who succeeded in breaking up o.
Democratic mass meeting. The Poles, il
is claimed, had been commended by their
president 10 attend the meeting, which
was held In the parish school house. Be-
fore going there they went to the hall and
were addressed by Alderman RudsensKi,
who obtained some notoriety DUR
Ing the May labor riots. He
showed the crowd pictures OF
Polish insurrectionIsts who had been
put to death In the past and made an in
cendiary speech. The people left the hall
in body and went to the school house,
where John Black, the Democratic Com
gressional candidate, and other politi-
clans were congregated. Mr.. Black was
chairman OF the grand jury that indicted
the rioters last spring, and when he at
tempted to speak the mob hooted him and
his companions, and made such Demon
strations that the politicians had to leave
the hall. For TVS or three hours ABOUT
5000 Poles crowded the streets for squares
around, yelling like madmen.

Sietcr Makes some starting state
ments in Court.
CINCINNATI. Oct. 25.--George t. Sieter,
ex-clerk of the Board of Public Works,
was bound over to the grand jury to-day
in $1,000. This afternoon he gave some
startling testimony at the examination Of
James Morgan, of the Board OF Public
Affairs, who is charged with certifying
to fraudulent vouchers. He said he got
bis nephew, Joseph Peters, to persOnate
Joseph Meyers a. Co., and draw money
on false bills; that Peters gave
the money TO him and he paid three-titths
of it to James Morgan. He mentioned
specially where and when he paid the
money to Morgan on two of these bills for
$500 each. On cross examination Sieter
admitted that he had sworn on his own
trial that Peters did not personate Meyers
Il Co., and did not draw the money, but
ne swore in that way to shield Peters.
The case of Morgan was submitted with
out argument, and Judge Fitzgerald held
Morgan to answer to the grand jury in
$1,000, which was given. This testimony
by Sieter was wholly unexpected at this
time, although it has been thought be
would tell all he knew before the trials
were ended.

to strangle himself he must have kept his
feet drawn up so AS to prevent them from
