 SAN FRANCISCO, September 16. A
 complimentary dinner was given this
 evening to Hon. M. M. Estee, who leaves here to morrow for Washington, as a | delegate to the International American Congress. Among those present were Governor Waterman, Senator Stanford, | Ex-Governor Perkins, Congressman Morse, Fix Congressman Felton, Nj. Ii. DeYoung and Gen. W. H. Diamond. | MT. Estee made a speech, principally oD | two of the measures which the confer
 ence had been called to consider, viz:
 The establishment of a regular and ire quent communication between parts of
 the several American states and ports of each other, and the adoption of a com mon silver coin to be issued by each gov ernment, the same to be of legal tender |
 zens of all American states. MT. Estee
 expressed himself as being strongly in favor of legislation which would bring | about these results.
 MT. Estee said that nearly all Central and South American nations produce chiefly raw material and manufacture
 very little. They export to foreign coun- | ties what is largely raised in our part of
 the world. He said the United States
 was in close proximity to them, and | transportation was shorter and it should be cheaper from this country to any of these South American states than from
 those countries to Europe. Yet the | trade, he said, was practically going | against us. MT. Estee said he was in
 favor of maintaining by government aid | lines of steamers to ports south of the United States. American lines of yes sells plying between San Francisco. Aus | tralia, Japan and Islands of the Pacific, | ought also, in his opinion, thus to be | aided in making new highway for 1 trade across the Pacific ocean and di
 vesting the traffic of the Islands to the United States. While doing this, said | the speaker, such provision might be
 made that in case of war these vessels
 could be utalized by the general govern | ment, and thus in carrying this system | of building up American commerce, we | would at once aid in creating navy. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.-The court
 in its decision discharging Marshal Nea- gle, declares: After mature considera- tion we have reached the conclusion | that the homicide was committed by the petitioner while acting in the discharge
 of duty imposed upon him by the con stitution and laws of the United States. Neagle was on the scene of action, fear ing the party making the murderous at tack, knowing by personal experience his physical power and his desperate character. and by general reputation, his lifelong habit of carrying arms Tn readl | ness to use them, and his angry mur derous threats, and was, therefore, the party to decide when such moment of action had come. In our judgment he acted under trying conditions, in good
 faith and with consumm ate courage, ,judg men, and discretion. Homicide was, in our opinion, clearly iustifiable in law,
 and in the forum of sound, practical, common sense, commendable.
