Wool Rates Reduced.

Good tidings for the wool men: We
have news for the wool growers of the
state that will be hailed with joy. a grand
revision Of freight rates has been going on,
and among other things wool is to reap @
benefit. Our dispatches say ION and
after the lst day OF July all lines east Of
the Mississippi river will take sacked wool
as Sd class, minimum 10000 pounds. AS
this traffic has heretofore been accepted
only as 1st class it means u reduction oi
nearly $40 per car over the old rate. Noti-
fication has been or will be received by
the western lines and by the lst of the
month the official notification will be scat
tered broadcast. The ruling is of the ut
most importance TO wool raisers through
out the state, and will give an impetus to
that important industry. Field and

Rate Troubles Again Mexico Through
Rates In = Muddle.

CHICAGO, July 3.--The traffic officials
Of the western and northwestern roads
met again yesterday to discuss the rate
situation. A committee appointed Satur-
day to labor with the c., B. & N. road
officials with view Of inducing them to
cancel their special commodity tariff, re-
ported failure. These rates are to be-
come effective July 5th. Other lines will
doubtless be compelled to follow suit. The
Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas City road re-
iterates its threat to put the same rate in
to effect to Missouri river points if they
are adopted between Chicago and St.
Paul.
MEXICO RATES.
Through rates from northern to central
Mexican points have for some time been
the cause of complaint by all roads inter-
ested. The Southern Inter State associa-
ton will make an attempt to arrange
schedule that will be just to all associa-
tions. 1t met yesterday, but owing to
the lack Of quorum could not proceed to
business. The southern members of the
association claim that shipments OF
freight can be made from Chicago to the
City of Mexico at as low q rate as that
from Las Vegas and other intermediate
points. 1t is for remedying this that the
meeting has been called. All Mexican
roads but the Vera Cruz, which is wholly
all inland road, will have representatives
at the meeting. Chairman Finley, of the
Trans-Missouri association, will preside.

WASHINGTON MATTERS.
APPOINTMENTS.

WASHINGTON, July 3.--The president
has made the following appointments
Arthur NJ. Tinker, OF Massachusetts, tC
be Indian inspector; w. $. Reynolds, OF
| Wisconsin, to be special agent to make
allotments Of funds in severalty to the In
dians; Geo. Mackenzie, of California, to
be register of the land office at Stockton,
Cal. Richard Simms, of Montana, to be
Indian agent at Fort Belknap agency in
Montana; Charles o. Bartholomew, of
! Colorado, at the Southern Ute and Jica-
rilla agency in Colorado; VIM. T. Nc
Clure, OF New Mexico, at Pueblo agency
in New Mexico; Wm. f. Plumb, Of
Nevada, at western Shoshone agency in
Nevada.
THE CENSUS.
Supt. Porter, OF the census bureau, has
divided the country into 173 census dis
trct for the purpose of taking the next
census, each one of which will be in
charge of supervisor. In 1880 the coun-
try was divided into $50 districts. The
appointment OF districts among the sew
eral states and territories gives Colorado
2; Texas 8; Kansas 3; Arizona /; New
Mexico l. The census appropriation is
for l75 supervisors and it is probable that
the two remaining districts will be Okla
homa and Alaska.
EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.
1t is thought likely now that the extra
session of congress which the president is
expected to call is not to be held until
November. The impression has pre-
vailed that congress would likely be called
together in October, but several senators,
prominent on the Republican side of the
chamber, have stated recently that the
president would not call the congress
together before the first week in No
yember.

Col. Augustus G. Hamlin of Bangor writes
to the Bangor Wing letter, in which he
makes forcible contradiction of the oft
repeated report that the United States is
poorly represented at the Paris Exposition
by the commissioners sent to manage the
American exhibits. Col. Hamlin is one of
the commissioners, and therefore speaks
from positive knowledge He says that
among the members Of our commission are a
number Of the ablest men of science III Il The
country, while Gen. william B. Franklin is
man Of vast energy and experience, whose
superior il would BIO difficult to find int
United States. These men have not been
careless or extravagant, and Col. Hamlin de-
clares that the story that $1,000 francs were
paid for house used more for junketing
purposes than for the interests of exhibitors
Is entirely untrue. This house costs Uncle
Sam but $500, and is of great advantage TO
American exhibitors and visitors. The real
trouble with the United States display seems
to rest with Congress and our artisans. COL
Hamln points out that Congress considered
the matter only at a late day, and then APP
propriated only about two hundred thousand
dollars, while our humble neighbor, Mexico,
expends twelve hundred thousand dollars,
and pays for the services of seventy-two
commissioners. If our countrymen did not
feel interest enough in the exhibition to pre-
pare for it, he thinks they should not now
try to lay the blame resulting from their ne
gect upon the American commissioners.

We observe that John L. Sullivan COM
plains that the charge of the judge who tried
him was unfair. 1.-THE Judge" he says,
through out every point it was possible to
use against me-" AS there was only one
question at issue, namely, whether Sullivan
had engaged in prize fight in Mississippi
and to that there was a cloud of witnesses
in the affirmative and none in the negative,
1t is difficult to see how the judge. If he
brought out any point at all, could bring out
any that were not against him, unless he in
vented some of the other kind. Sulilvan's
real complaint probably is that when it came
to sentence the Judge gave him the full ex-
tent of the law. John says the whole South
Is in his favor. but unfortunately the whole

sentence, which Judge Terrill did. Sullivan

The trouble made by the short cut freight
route from Minneapolis and st. Paul to the
Eastern seaboard allowed by the opening of
the $500 line" is neither small nor easily
composed. The great Chicago trunk lines
find themselves compelled continually to
face condition of things that few years
ago they would not have faced temporarily
without serious misgvings. Already three
roads, the Wisconsin Central, Chicago, st.
Paul d Kansas City and the Burlington &
Northern, the two former following the lead
of the latter have reduced the Chicago-St.
Paul proportion of the through rate from &c
to 10 cents, cut that is so great as to make
a great disturbance in western railroad and
commercial circles. Chicago feels especially
grieved by this reduction as it tends to carry
business by her exchanges to seaboard cities.
The commissioner of the Chicago Freight
Bureau, voicing the sentiment of the mer-
chants of that city, said Monday 1--WE
don't like the outlook, and it must be chang
ed in some way, probably by reduction in
the local basis from 60 to 50 or 40 cents. I'm

will probably make our fight on the illegal

Chicago SO naturally as they used to.

A Conflict Of Authority.

There is likely to be an interesting con.
flict of authority between the United States
and the State of California growing ont of
the shooting of Terry by Deputy Marshal
Eagle. Ordinarily when person commits
an act which constitutes violation of the
State laws, or is alleged to have done so. on
the soil of State, he is entirely subject to
the jurisdiction of the courts of that State.
They are entitled to undisputed possession of
the person of the criminal, and it is by them
solely that his guilt or innocence must he de-
termined. The United States court can only
interfere to the extent of determining wheth-
Or the law under which he is tried is or not
violation of the constitution of the United
States. The Indictment against him is
framed by the State court, his trial is in the
State court and the penalty inflicted is the
one prescribed by the statutes of the State.
The shooting of Judge Terry took place up-
on the soil Of California. Ordinarily, there
fore, there would be no question that the
State of California would have full cogni-
zance Of the offence and the right TO trv
Maggie for whatever offence the States grand
jury should find bill Of indictment against
him, and the right to sentence him In case of
conviction. But the case of Terry presents
some peculiar circumstances. Maggie was
not acting in the capacity of mere private
citizen when he shot Terry, neither was the
latter's assault committed upon a mere pri-
vate citizen. At the time of the assault
Field was performing one of the duties Incl
dent to his Office. He was travelling to the
place for holding the circuit court and for
the sole purpose Of holding it. His mission
was an official one, and his character was
Just as much an official one as il he had been
sitting in his robes of office in the court
room. Nagle had been instructed by the
national department of justice to protect
nln' ana ne was iourneying with Judge
rieid soieiy Tor that purpose Essentially
tnen' ne was an officer of the court. and it
was In that capacity that he shot Terry
Terry made an assault upon The limited
States court, and Maggie, an officer of tho
court whose special duty it was to protect If
shet Terry in what he believed to be the
execution of his orders. Now when tho
state OF California seizes upon Naele and
attempts to punish him, the national eovern.
ment rightly demurs. 1t says very pronerlv
that Magic was an officer of the United
States court, and was at the time acting in
line Of his duty as such officer. Therefore
the United States is bound to protect him. as
against the State of California. A reverse
doctrine would be- practically an admission
that the authority of the State of California
is superior to that of the United States, and
that the holding Of national court in that
State is practically not matter of right, but
one of sufferance on its part merely.
