reduced movement to eastern markets,
which is much smaller than year ago.

Judge. Bre wer's DecIsion,

The officials of the railroads interested
in Iowa traffic appear deeply depressed
over Judge Brewers decision. The heads
of the legal departments of the various
companies have been in consultation and
if they find there is still fighting chance
to check the matter before the commission
they will doubtless avail themselves of it.
But i'll the meantime they cannot avoid
putting the dreaded schedule rate into OPP
Grafton. These rates are about 80 per
cent. lower than those now in effect in the
state. and 20 per cent. lower than the Ilh-
nois commissioners rates. The effect of
this change, it is claimed by the railroad
officials, will be to pull down all state and
inter- state rates throughout the west. for
in obeying the Iowa law the roads can not
ignore the provisions of the inter state
commerce law. All western roads. it is
asserted, will be affected, and the man
ayers are inclined to take gloomy view of
the situation. One of the officials said:
The whole outlook for 1889 is changed by
Judge Brewers decision"

saokviile's Probable Successor.

It is asserted in London, but not Of
ficially. that Sir Julian Pauncsfote, perma-
nent under secretary Of state for the fol-
eign Office, has been appointed British
minister to the United States. The ap-
pointment is creating intense excitement
in British diplomatic circles, as a departure
from the rule of succession i'll appoint
ments according to rank in the service.
Sir Julian Pauncefote is lawyer. not a
diplomat, and was never attached to any
embassy. He was appointed to his present
post on account of his extensive knowledge
of the legal learnings Of treaties.

John NJ. Clayton Assassjnatetl.

A Plummerville. Ark, special of the
3oth ult. says Hon. John NJ. Clayton
was shot in his room at his boarding house
at o'clock the night before. He was
pacing the floor and walked toward the
window, when load of buckshot was
fred through the window, striking him in
neck and killing him instantly. There is
no clue to the perpetrator of the outrage.
A large number of citizens of Fort Smith,
Ark. have signed a announcement of the
assassination and subscribed fund to be
offered as reward for the arrest and con-
viction of the assassin. A bill was pre-
sented in the senate at Little Rock author
izing the governor to offer $1,000 reward
for the arrest of the murderer or murder
ers. Mr.. Clayton was brother of Hon.
Powell Clayton, the we'll republican leader.
and was himself commanding figure in
the councils of his party. The fact that
he was, at the time of his assassination,
contestant for congressional seat against
c. r. Breckenridge lends probability to the
supposition that his death is due to poll
tics.
