SALT LAKE CTR, July 15.-[Special Tele-
gram to The Brr. THE decision in the case
Of ID. +. Chamberlain VS.. w. A. Woodin,
just made in the third district court Of Idaho,
Is attracting considerable attention through
Utah, as 1t is decision affecting the right
Of suffrage of those who at one time have
been members of the Mormon church, but
afterwards severed their connection with it.
The defendant was elected sheriff Of Bing-
ham county, Idaho, at the fall election and
the plaintiff claimed 1t was through the vote
cast by the former Mormons. The court
held that this was and that the
election was illegal. There is considerable
discussion Of the question here. The Nor
mons claim 1t to be an outrageous decision
and the Gentiles feel iubilant.

Favoring Chicago Shippers.

Dies MONIES, Ia, July 15.-GSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. THE hearing of COM
plants filed BY the Davenport and Burling-
ton shippers began before the railroad COM
missioners this afternoon. The Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific and the Burlington,
Cedar Rapids & Northern were introduced
by the complainants, Mr.. Cook, a heavy
merchant, and MIR. ]. Lumsden, represent
ing the Sieg Iron company, both Of Daven-
porL The latter gave most of the evidence
for the complainants, and it was manly
directed to two points-high rates and de-
lays in shipping goods. The high rates
were due to the charge for
two locals when the shipment
was over two roads, instead of
one low JOINT rate, as formerly. The delays
were said to be uue partly to the rebilling at
the transfer to the second road and partly,
it was charged, to intentional delays by the
railroads in order to favor Chicago shippers
MIR. Lumsden testified that his customers
had reported that they could send from the
interior of Iowa to Davenport and to Chicago
at the same time, and the goods for Chicago
would be delivered before the goods for
Davenport. The burden of the complaint
however, was the practice of requiring two
local rates, one from Davenport TO West Lib
erty, over the Rock Island. and the other from
West Liberty to the point of destination,
over the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & North
ern. Having to rcship and rebill at the
transfer point, it was charged, produced de-
lays which injured the business of the start
ing point and gave other cities an advantage
over it
The attorney for the complainants urged
the commissioners TO order the railroads to
make joint rates, on the ground that it was a
question whether they had the right or not
to do so, and the benefit of the doubt should
be given to the shippers, and the railroads
could appeal and make test in the courts if
they wanted to do SO. The hearing will be
resumed tomorrow morning.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-03-12

One result OF the rumored sinking Of
the Nipsic is the striking unanimity of
sentiment developed in the United States
as to the necessity of giving this country
an effective navy. At the beginning of
Mr.. Cleveland's administration the late
Samuel J. Tilden wrote very luminous
letter on the necessity of improving our
coast defenses and bringing up our navy
to the modern standard. a beginning
was made on the navy, but nothing was
done in the way OF making cur fortifca-
tions responsive to the needs of the
hour. The Germans have been paying
special attention to their torpedo service,
and they have q number of armored
ships that can throw destructive shells
a distance ranging from ten to
twelve miles. The Krupp foundry has
been turning out these formidable mis-
siles for years, while we have not even
an establishment capable OF making
them. A writer in the North american
RevieV, an official high in the Navy of
the United States, maintained some
time ago that it would take i've years to
supply the United States with the
"plant F." needed to cast the heavy mod
ern ordnance. One would think that q
plain statement from such source, sup
plemented by facts, would have led
Congress to make provision for such
foundries as that of Krupp. The pres
ent scare-if it shall prove to be simply q
scare-will have served useful purpose
if it shall cause Congress to shake off its
inertia and act ON Mr.. Tilden's timely
suggestions. The old adage that in time
of peace it is good to prepare for war
has lost none of it's force..on account of its
triteness.

bushels. The proportion of merehsntable
averages 81 per cent, which is less than
in 1884, 1886 or 1887. The average price
is less than in December. The March
average for merchantable corn is 33 per

THE SAMOAN CONUNDRUM.
None OF the Officials Able to Throw
ANY Light ON 1t.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-At the State
and Navy departments, this morning
the same reply is now becoming some.
what monotonous. "We have no infer-
nation" is made in answer to the re-
quests for some news regarding the al
legged destruction of the Nipsic.
Walker Blaine says the Department of
State utterly discredits the story. 1t
now appears that the United States naval
officer who was stationed at Auckland,
the nearest cable point to Samoa, re-
joined the Nipsic some time ago. Never
theless, the Navy Department holds that
it would be speedily informed of the re-
ported engagement through the United
States Consul at Auckland, had any such
thing happened.
To forward news to Berlin, the Olga
must have run over to Auckland and at
least her arrival there would have been
if indeed the secret of her mis-
sion to the cable station did not leak out
through some of the sailors. Captain
Mullan, of the Nipsic was ordered to
"protest and use his good Offices" These
were in substance like the instructions
given to Admiral Kimberly, which at
the time they were issued were regarded
in some quarters as being too narrow and
inadequate to carry out the popular
wish. It may be recalled, however, that
Secretary Whitney said at the time, in
laid before the House
Naval Committee, that it was as far as
they could go in the absence of any def
nitely declared policy on the part of the
in regard to Samoa.

/ Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
CLEVELAND, o., March 1.-THE Wash
iDgton correspondent of tie Leader tele-
graphs his paper tonight what he terms
President Harrison's policy respecting
the Civil Service" gathered from the re-
marks made by the President in n inter-
view with party of Congressman who
had presented the claims of certain indi-
viduals for appointments. The President
said he had determined to live up to the
plank relative to Civil Service Reform in
the Republican National Platform, and
will select men to fill Te rritnrial offices
from citizens of the Territories them
selves where fit persons may be found.
On the subject of the removals from
the general classified service, the Presi-
dent says: 81 would not have man re-
moved simply because he belonged to
one political party or other. There
should be good and substantial reasons
for thu dismissal of clerks and officials
generally, but hold it is not necessary
that the cause should be specified in all
cases."
Respecting appointments generally
the President said he should follow the
suggestions of Senators and Represents
tives, and expected those gentlemen to
recommend only good men for office. In
conclusion, he urged his visitors to GO
slowly and not press too hard for the re-
moval OF the present inCumbents. He
said, in effect, that he wanted to be sure
he was fright" in every case; then he
would ego ahea "
