The Supreme Court Of the United

In the case Of ex-Judge Terry, Of Califor-
MIA, upon his application for q writ ol
habeas corpus, in which he alleges his
unlawful imprisonment under an order OF
the United States Circuit Court for the
northern district Of California, in the Jail
Alameda county. In this connection the
Chronicle says. ''The supreme Court, as
every one anticipated II would, has decid-
ed that il cannot interfere with the punish
ment Of Judge Terry for contempt Of
court. Sarah Althea ID full OF ominous
threats OF what will be done when the

that "saucing the Court and drawing q

A 81. Louis mining secretary says: "If
mining companies could only get reason
able smelling charges there would never
be any mills. The only question in min
ing is whether a company can better
afford to put mp mill and lose part of
the mineral than II can to pay the smelt-
ing charges. The smcitsn, you under
stand, saves everything, while ths mill
always loses something in the taiiings.
Often, think, ore is milled from which
the tailings would more than pay the
smelling and freight charges. The trouble
is there is 50 much ore in the country that
must go 10 the smelter, which cannot be
railled, that the smelters are independent.
Hence there is small probability Of a
change In policy" 49,

II Is said by those who are in position
10 know that the campaign that has just
closed has cost an immense amount Of
money, more than twice as much az any
previous one. The exact amount is diff

state committees million more. The
Democrats sent out sixteen million docu-
msnts from their headquarters here,

A VALUABLE CARGO.
Starting Ship From Christ
Church for Poor People.

A large number of people gathered at
Christ church last night to hear the
Christmas carol service by the Sunday
school and choir. Addresses appropri-
ate TO the season were delivered by
Bishop Gilbert and Rev. c. ID. An
drewS, and a song service was rendered
by the choir, the little children of the
Sunday school concluding the exercises
with pretty Christmas carol. In the
pulpit stood pretty Christmas ship,
built of evergreen ,boughS, rugged with
popcorn ropes and Illuminated with
large number of wax taperS. DR.. An
dreWS in his remarks stated the Christ
mas ship was very appropriate in COM
memorating the birth of the Savior, as
the history of Christ on earth was replete
with Instances of His association with
the water and the people of the sea, His
close contact with them rendering the
idea very fitting, as well as novel
one. He closed his remarks with an in
vitation to the children and others pres
ent to deposit in the ship such articles
as they might wish distributed among
the poor children of the city. The choir
boys passed around among the audi
ence, gathered the articles and placed
them in the Christmas ship, which will

THE RATE WAR.
No Trouble Between the Northern
Pacific and Manitoba Roads.


Mr.. Fee, general ticket and passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific road. was
interrogated Saturday, upon his return
from Chicago, relative to the trouble
about passenger rates between Chicago
and Portland. Ore. ''In regard to the
statement to the effect that the North
ern Pacific had notified connecting lines
that-it would accept second-class tick
cts at proportion of $50 from st. Paul,
thus making the rate $50, he remarked,
II want to say that the statement is in
the main correct. The rate now in
effect from Chicago to Portland is not
$50, and the Northern Pacific
did not authorize the use of
a $50, or any other special
basing rate. When reached Chicago
last Wednesday morning, l found that
a prominent Chicago aud st. Paul line
had made a $37 rate to Portland, both
via Council Bluffs and via st. Paul.
This action was taken, according to the
statement of the managers of that road,
in order to protect themselves against
rates that were being made via Kansas
City. The Northern Pacific was not
asked to join in this rate by the line
putting the rate into effect. The ma
jority of the other Chicago-St. Paul
lines followed suit, and were naming. l
believe, the same rate when l left Chi
cagO Friday evening. | was given to
understand that rates from Chicago TO
the Missouri river would be restored
not later than Jan. 3. 1889.

apoltan started for the Ryan hotel, es-
corted by his newly found acquaint

from his intoXieatiOn and vicious thump
in the jaw, he found himself in lonely
spot on Eighth street, minus his friends
and about $50. He reported at the po-
lice station sadder but wiser man, and
was locked up for detention, while cffi-
GERS secured the city for Broollmier and
Sheridan, who were soon found and ar
rested. Peterson was released yeSter
day morning and returned to the saw
dust city much poorer in pocket, but
possessed of large wad of experience.

THE CHRISTMAS GLOBE
Read and Appreciated by the
PeOpie Yesterday,

Among the newspaper buyers Of yes
terday it was hard to find one who did
not have in his hand or his pocket the
pink sheets Of the Christmas GLOBE.
They may have bought other papers
too, but they didn't miss the pink one
now become a familiar and welcomed
visitor of Christmas week.
Their comments On the edition were
most flattering. None found their an
ticipations disappointed when they
turned over the thirty-two pages re-
plete with news, a concise, authentic
trade review and p0tpourrI of holiday
fun. healthy, clean and bright. 1t was
such an edition as any Twin City resi-
dent would be proud to send 10 Eastern
friends. for it reflected all that is best
in the manufacturing and commercial
centers of the Northwest.
A pleasing feature of the edition, and
one that gave the highest guarantee for
the accuracy with which its trade and
financial review we're prepared were
the statements over their autographs
and names of iobbers such as Claiming
Seabury and w. a. Van Slyke; finan-
ciers like John Roche. L. i. Reed and
j. j. Beaumont; business representa-
tives of the stamp of Z. A. Hendrick-
son, Polk & Co., E. S. Hodgson. Mr..
Alness, II. J. Fairchild and others. DR..
Hoyt's statement of the city's health,
the financial report of Treasurer Refs,
the articles of Gems. Johnson and Sibley
all bore value that is incontrovertible.
An annual geview backed by such men
needed no padding nor false statements.
That it was appreciated is best attested
to by the fine run of advertising and
the heavy sales which the paper met.
The issue was many sided, Offering
enjoyment to all classes of readers, and
it is with pardonable pride that the
GLOBE accepts the many eneomiums
shOwered upon it yesterday.
