DEs MoINEs, Ia, Jan. ESPECIAL Tclc.
gram TO lHE BEE. Judge Brewer, of the
United States circuit court, has Just filed
here a very important decision bearing on
the Iowa railroad law and the construction
to De put upon legislation of this kind. 1T
will be remembered that last summer the
jobbcrs of this vicinity brought a number of
suits in the district court of this county
against the Rock Island and other roads here
for alleged violation of the railroad law,
passed by the last general assembly. Coun-
sci for the roads at once took the papers
from the local court To the United States cir
cult court, alleging that IL was the proper
court of jurisdiction, chiefly for the reason
that the SUITS were not criminal but civil in
their nature, and involved amounts to the
value OF $1,000 and upwards. They were
accordingly entered on file, but the attorney
general at once appeared and moved that
they be rcmandCdt to the state court, insist
ing that they were of u criminal nature and
that the state court therefore had jurisdic-
tion, Judge Brewer now passes upon that
point aud remauds:thC cases TO the court from
which they were taken. In his decision he
discusses Mt some length the nature of this
legislation, and puts a pioneer intcrprota-
ton upon 1t, Thc giSt Of his decision can be

PARIS, Jan. 22-fSpecial Cablegram to
THE BEE.l-The Boulaugists are showing
great energy all along the line. Boulanger
wilTn moi have himself TO blame IL he does not
head the poll next Sunday. During this
week he will keep his house open to all
corners, the receptions lasting from Z a. m.
to I p. m. Yesterday and the day before the
general was called upon by a constant
stream of uniformed officers Of the territorial
army, who had come to Paris to attend the
military ball. The scene %resembled an army
Demonstration in favor Of the general.
The royalists are still divided on the qucs.
ton of abstaining from voting. General
Montandon, the royalist who was lately re-
turned for Sommc on the Boulangist ticket,
was welcomed in the chamber of deputies to-
day by Admiral D'Hornoy in an address, in
which Boulanger was not alluded to.
The language Of the press wakes warm.
The National asserts that the dead father
Of Boulanger was a usurer; that the exc
cutcd murderer Campi was the generals
brother, and that the man murdered, who
was named Ducrot, was a business partner
OF Boulanger pere. The squabbles of the
generals domestic life, his debts and in
trigues, are also detailed. The Boulangists
respond by harping upon the charge that the
government is employing the secret service
fund in the interest of Jacques. Meanwhile
the inactivity of Jacqueas annoys his sup
portcrs, who are seeking even now another
candidate.
Betting on the bourse varies daily. To-day
the calculators gave Boulanger 2l5, 900 votes
against l7O, 200, and odds were laid against
the republican candidate. The influence of
the members of the municipal council, who
are almost unanimously against Boulanger,
is u leading factor in making his success
