FULLER's CASE NEAR A FINISH.
The Senate Talks 1t Over Informally
in Secret Session.

III oSCISG G05blOA.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-The Fuller case
was reached and taken up by the senate in
secret session to-day, Discussion was not
formally begun, though informally the case
was talked over about half an hour. Some
members of the judiciary committee took
occasion TO say at some length that
there had never been purpose on the part
of anyone in the committee to postpone
action until the next session as had been
charged by the press, and that while they
were opposed to his confirmation, their
reasons were entirely of public character.
This is interpreted to mean
that there were no charges which
they considered of weight touching the
personal character of the nominee. Senator
Edmunds was not present to-day, and 50
the case went over, being the unfinished
business at adjournment. The impression
prevails that Judge Fuller will be confirmed
tomorrow or next day.

The Supreme Court Hears the Pensa-
cola and Atlantic Arguments.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, July 16-In the
supreme court to-day the case of the rail
road commissioners against the Pensacola
and Atlantic railroad company was argued
by Attorney General Cooper for the COM
missioners and Hon. w. A. Blount for the
railroad. The case was appealed from
Santa Rosa county, wherea demurrer to the
bill Of the railroad company was overruled
and temporary injunction granted to
restrain the railroad commissioners from
enforcing the standard rates on freight and
passengers. The attorney general contended
that it Is virtually suit against the state
and must be dismissed. He also claims that
tho state hos the power to regulate the
charges OF common carriers which are con-
elusive on the courts that the courts can
interfere only when there is no legislation
on the subject; that the power of the legis-
lature can be exercised through commission
ers that the discretionary powers vested
in the commissioners cannot be interfered
with even by courts Of equity having
judicial discretion.
CLAIM OF THE RAILROAD
Mr.. Blnunt, for the railroad, contended
that while the legislature has the power to
create a commission, It cannot make their
schedules and rates conclusive evidence of
reasonableness, but resort must be had to
courts He also claimed that if this does
not involve the exercise of judicia! power
by the commissioners, it does involve legis-
latlve functions, which is also con-
trary to the constitution, because
this is power that can be exer-
cised by the legislators but cannot be
delegated The railroad claims that the
power of the legislature can only be in
voked when the case is made as contem-
plated by the terms of the constitution,
where abuses, unjust discrimination and
excessive charges are prove /, and no such
state of facts exist as to this road. The
arguments were able and lengthy covering
many points Of inter, st to the public

WAR ON THE BEEF RATES.
Several of the Roads Fail to Meet
Another Cut.

CHICAGO, July 16-The Erie and Chicago
and Atlantic roads made their usual cut in
the rate on dressed beef to-day, dropping
cent to cents per hundred from Chicago
to New York For the first time since the
fight began the Vanderbilt and Pennsyl-
vania lines failed to meet the cut. A con
sultation was held by the freight men of
the Michigan Central, Lake Shore, Pan
Handle and Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago roads, resulting in
an agreement to ignore the action of the
Chicago and Atlantic road for one day. The
trouble is that the Vanderbilt and Penn
sylvania roads are getting all the dressed
beef business, and now that the rate is so
low, every irload represents loss to the
companies handling it.
WRIGGLING OUT OF IT.
The Chicago and Atlantic company has
carried no dressed beef out Of Chicago for
several days because it gave notice to the
shippers last week that at the present low
rates their shipments would have to take
the chances with ordinary. instead of being
forwarded by special fast freight trains.
The agents of the other roads declare that
they will give the shippers the best service
tier lines afford, whatever may happen
1t is now the general belief that there will
be no further re luction Of the dressed beef
and cattle rates, but 1t is possible that other
commodities will be attacked.

grease and animal fat, which have found

succeeded in keeping the flames from more
valuable property, but not until $500 worth

Buck will draw Republican votes
from Dubois, but Hawley will carry

IDAHO RECORDER: A well planned
and successful robbery was boldly ex-
ecuted in Salmon city on last Satur-
day night. Between the hours OF .
and 10 o'clock the drug store OF
French s. Kenney was entered and
from $500 to 500 worth of goods
stolen. The premises were entered
at the back by prying apart the steel
bars which protect the windows and
then smashing the glass. Several par
ties in town saw the light and heard
their movements, but supposed it was
the proprietors and did not investi-
gate. They left not the slightes'
clue, and the affair is shrouded II
mystery.
