Nellie Bly's Rival.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. |
LONDON, Jan. 1S.-[Cable to the n. Y.
Sun. Miss Bisland, the American cir
who left New York sixty-four days ago in
an attempt to girdle the globe via San
Francisco and Yokohama in seventy five
days, for the Cosmopolitan Magazine, fitted
through London this afternoon on her way
to catch the Bothnia at Queenstown. She
told me that she had had splendid trip
and she looked in the best of health, al
though she had not slept since2 o'clock in
the morning, and had had long trip to
and across the English channel, with a
stormy crossing of the Irish channel before
her tonight. AS the Bothnia is a slow
boat, Miss Bisland will not have uBy time to
spare if she reaches New York in the speci
fed time. She missed La Champagne at
Havre yesterday by only three hours, and
by another unfortunate coincidence the
fast Ems, which she wished to take from
Southampton tomorrow has Just been
laid off

The official statement adds that when
leaving the courtroom, after the delivery
OF their sentences, they suddenly attacked
their escort. and several of them having
revolvers concealed about their persons,
began to use them against the police
officers who were present Troops hur-
red to the rescue of the latter, and before
the revolt of prisoners could be quelIed it
was necessary to shoot down and to bayo-
net several of their number, Three of the
survivors were subsequently hanged, and
the others were condemned to penal servi-
tude in the mines, instead of to mere de-
portation. The explanation thus vonch-
safed by the government contains univer-
sal credence here, for the nihilists them
selves now admit and glory in the fact
that the pamphlets and revolutionary doc
umerts with which Russia is at present
Hooded, were actually printed and issued
from the strictly supervised settlement of
Siberia

Interstate Commerce. Decision

CHICAGO, Jan 20.-In the test case to day.
Judge Gresham upheld sections 6, T. S and
of the interstate commerce law. The
suit was against the Lake Shore railroad
by keenan, & Sons, stockyards commission
merchants. The railroad, relying on
usage, made an overcharge in freight equal
to an excess of 1000 pounds, because coun-
try shippers and commission men refused
to comply with the company's rule to
weigh their freight with the stockyards
company,a practice which was.adding forty
pounds per head, ostensibly to cover
shrinkage in transit. Shippers contend
that the weight charged should be actual
weight, before the forty pounds per head
allowed for shrinkage is added. Judge
Gresham decided that overcharges could
be recovered under the interstate law

The Northern Pacific Open.

PORTLAND, Ogn., Jan. 20.-F'or some days
past there has been heavy snow blockade
on the Union Pacific trunk and branch lines
between Hunting and Portland. There
have been no through trains for nearly a
week past. Bitter cold weather has pre-
vailed most OF the time, accom-
panied by heavy winds and blind
ing snowstorms. Five or six trains,
east and west bound, are block
AIDED somewhere between Dalles and
Baker City. The company has been doing
everything possible to open the roads and
keep them open. 1t is thought the first
west bound train will reach this city to-
morrow The same condition of affairs
has prevailed over the Southern Pacific
and the northern part of California. Trains
are blockaded in the Siskyou mountains, so
COMMUNICATION IS ENTIRELY CUT OFF.
No through trains have arrived at Port
land from San Francisco or left here for
that point for nearly week past. No
trains are expected to reach here before
the middle of this week. The heavy storms
east and south have FRUSTRATED the wires,
and Geographic communication is inter-
rupted most Of the time. On the Northern
Pacific, however, trains have been arriving
atand departing from Tacoma regularly
On that line there has been very little in
terruption.
