CAN PALACE CARS BE TAxED2

Important Law Case.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1s.-A dispatch from Topeka,
Kan, says Judge Brewer in the United States
circuit court has granted a restraining order
preventing the county tressurers Of about
seventy-fve counties in this state from collecting
the taxes levied on the Pullman cars ON
railways In this state by the board Of
assessors for the year 1889. The company
refuses to pay on the ground that the state has
no right to tax property used in interstate COM
merce. The original bill was filed January 1,
1888. and a temporary injunction restraining
the collection of taxes for 1887 was issued. the
Pullman company giving bonds of $4,000 to
secure the counties for taxes in case they
won the suit in 1888. The in
junction was continued. The general
solicitor of the Pullman company has filed Q
second supplemental bill, bringing thirty-fve
additional counties in defendants In these
counties Pullman cars were not operated when
the original bill was filed The case is now
pending in the Supreme Court at Wash hingtou.
Three or four years taxes are now due.

GOOD WORK QUICKLY DONE.
The LabOrs of the International MARI
time Conference Drawing to Close.

IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO END THE SESSIONS BE-
FORE THE NEW YEAR AND RENDER THE PRO-
POSED EXTENSION OF TIME UNNEcEssARY-THEIB
RECOMMENDATIONS WILL PROBABLY BE ADOPTED
The international maritime conference is
drawing TO close and the foreign delegates
are beginning to count the days before the
happy time when they can pack up their goods
and chattels and sail for their native shores.
1t was hoped at the beginning Of the confer
ence that the members would be enabled to eat
their Christmas dinners at home, but it does
not now look as though they would get away
from here much before the 1st of January. A
vast amount of work has been done in tho con-
ference, and the foundation has been laid for
some extremely salutary international legisla-
tion relative to the rules governing the actions
and guidance Of ships at sea. 1t was predicted
prove too long for intelligent discussion dur
ing the time set for the conference, which was
limited by statute to January l, 1890.
THE PROPOSED ExTEsIoN OF TIME
A joint resolution has been introduced in
Congress, however, to extend the time two
months, but the American delegates are conf
dent that they can get through with every
topic on the list in the present year, Day be-
fore yesterday in a session lasting from 10
O'Clock until D an enormous quantity of work
was done, several reports of committees
received and discussed, and number of
amendments disposed of. There are now over
thirty important amendments, involving cues.
tions OF principle, pending to the rules OF the
road and these will have to be weighed and
treated. At the rate at which the Committees
are working, which as a delegate expressed it,
il
STEADY TwENTY-KNoT SPEED,
the remaining topics of the program will soon
be presented to the conference in o brief, in
telligible form, and then all that will remain
is the gathering up of odds and ends. There
will be no compilation of results attempted
When the conference adjourns for good each
delegate will have notes Of every action by the
body and a complete record of the legislation
which has been agreed upon az most desirable,
The protocols or minutes will, il Ia feared
not be ready for the delegates to take with
them, but they will be forwarded to them soon
after their departure.
1t is generally believed In the conference
that Whatever has been adopted here will find
its way into the statute books Of every nation
represented in this body. The greatest
harmony has prevailed inspired by desire to
make the sea as safe - possible, and
the American delegates are beginning to con-
gratulate themselves on the probably bene-
fetal outcome of their labors.
The conference has resumed il old hours Of
session, from II O'Clock TO o'clock.
