Notes of Small Denominations Now
W Practically Not Issued.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE refusal of
the United States Express Company to ship
notes of small denominations from Wash
ington to banks throughout the country at
less than regular rates has practically
stopped the issue Of small notes. Hereto
fore these shipments were made at the rate
agreed upon by the express company in its
contract for the transportation of govern
ment money. These rates are very much
less than the regular rates, and permitted
distribution of small notes to points in all
parts of the country, where they were in
great demand, at comparatively slight cost.
CLAIM OF THE COMPANY.
The company now holds, however. that
these notes, having been practically pur-
chased from the government by private
firms, are no longer government money
The shipments are made by the United
States treasurer upon receipt of a regular
certificate of deposit at the sub-treasury at
New York. An issue has now been raised
between the treasury officials and the ex-
press company as to whether the latter is
not compelled to carry these notes under
the prescribed rates in their contract for
the transportation of the government funds.
THE GOVERNMENTS POSITION.
The former hold that the notes are gov
ernment money within the meaning of the
contract until they have actually been re-
ceived by the bank for which they are in
tended. The express company holds that
the notes cease to be government money
from the time the equivalent deposit is
made with the assistant treasurer. In
order to settle the question, Secretary Win
dom has called upon the solicitor of the
treasury for an opinion as to the rights Of
the government in the matter. The impress
sion prevails that the solicitor will decide
that the express company is bound to treat
these shipments as government property.

a WATER CRAFT ACT VOID.
An Important Decision in a Railroad
Case in Illinois.


Case in Illinois.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Oct. II. - Judge
Allen has filed an important decision in the
United States district court here, in the
litigation pending for two years, in which
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company ,as
lessees of the st. Louis and Cairo railroad,
attempted to obtain a right of
way down to the waters of the
Ohio river at Cairo, for the transfer
Of passengers and freights by boats TO their
lines on the Kentucky side. The contest was
on the constitutionallty of the Illinois water
craft act of 1877, which contains clause
substantially depriving railroad companies
of the power to condemn land for right OF
way to any ferry privileges upon any navi-
gable river bordering on this state.
DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The court finds it 10 be unconstitutional:
First, because It's title does not set out this
deprivation of condemnation privileges,
and, second, because the same clause acts as
comforting special privileges upon such
river fronts and excluding others from
them. In short, the court finds this por-
tiOn of the act to be in conflict
both with the constitution of
the United States and of the state
of Illinois, and in conclusion says that other
portions OF the act permitting all railroad
companies terminating on navigable rivers
on the borders of this state to increase their
| business facilities, are useful and proper
but the proviso restricting the use of addi-
| tional franchise to companies already own
ing land for a landing Is void. The decision
| will not only permit the Mobile and Ohio
railroad to obtain ferry privileges at Cairo.
| but will settle point of much Importance
in other parts Of Illinois
