The Southern Pacific Refuses to Obey It's
Mandates.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 8. - Railroad
Commissioner Rea was absent at the
regular meeting of the board today.
Had he been present it was expected a
written decision in the case of the Santa
Cruz Lumber company against the
Southern Pacific company, would have
been rendered. This will now likely be
disposed of when the board meets again
on the 23rd inst.
A letter from Vice-President Stubs,
of the Southern Pacific, was
read. The commissioners, at their
last meeting, a week ago, ordered a
reduction of rates on all livestock
shipped from points on the Placerville
division of the Southern Pacific. In
his letter Stubbs reports having re-
ceived notice of the order of reduction,
and adds: 1.-THE Southern Pacific COM
pany is advised by counsel, and believes
your board cannot legally fix the rates
to be charged for transportation on any
lines of the railroad operated by that
company, and therefore respectfully
protests against your action in that
respect"
h. The letter, which caused some COM
ment, was filed. The order will be en-
forced but no action will be taken until
after the first proximo, the date when
the order should 60 into effect.
The case of r. q. Sheath Of the Con-
sumers' Ice company against the South
ern Pacific, was set for hearing at the
next meeting in two weeks.

The ironclad Merrimac which har-
assed the Union fleet, and was herself
finally disabled by the Monitor, made
during her first unquestionable triumphs
victim of the frigate Congress. After
the fight had continued for some time,
the Merrimac was so fortunate as to take
sucha position relative to her enemy
that the destruction of the Congress be-
came only question of moments.
Her commander was slain, she had
been repeatedly set on fire. and her decks
were covered with dead and wounded.
She was accordingly run ashore, and
there hoisted the white flag.
The Merrimac now sent alongside two
tugs to take possession and remove the
prisoners, but these were driven back bv
sharp firing from the shore.
General Mansfield had directed the
Twentieth Indiana to deploy along the
beach, behind sand ridge, and two
guns were wheeled into position to pre-

prize.
Captain Reed, who was as good law

tary law.
'Since the ship has surrendered" said
he, 'shas not the enemy the right to take
possession of her?'

Cotter claims her husband attacked her,
and that she fred two shots in self-de-

John Crombaugh, the owner of Del

Doble of $35 200 for the horse. Crombaugi
holds Delmarch at 100000.
Secretary Hopper, at Latonia, has caused
a notice to be posted in the Jockeys room
that any jockey caught taking a drink OF
any intoxicating liquor on the track would
be suspended for a year and have his license
revoked.
So many fast records have been made on
the trotting turf that old timers stand
aghast in wonder at such speed. In 1855
Flora Temples 2:19$ headed the list. To-
day thirty-five horses have records of 2:15
or better.
Mckinley, the 4-year-old son of Alcryon,
is considered one of the best horses on
the Pacific coast. His record (2:171S) was
made pulling up, and it is believed that he
can trot in 2:15. An offer of $25, 600 is said
to have been refused for him.

TOLEDO, o., Nov. 9.-Delegates to the
fifteenth general assembly of the
Knights OF Labor are arriving here in
large numbers from all parts of the
United States, Canada and two or three
cities in Mexico. The delegates say
this will be one of the most important
assemblies ever held.
The finance committee has about COM
pleted it's work, and so far finds all the
finances OF the order in splendid condi-
ton.
The secretary's report will show that
the order has increased in membership
over 5000 during the past year, in this
country alone, and that all the local as
assemblies are in flourishing condition.
The most important matter to come
before the assembly will be the public
school system of this country. Many,
perhaps majority of the delegates are
Roman Catholics, and yet they intend
placing themselves on record in refer
ence to the school question. Feeling
appears to be unanimously in favor OF
the public school system. A prominent
delegate, a Roman Catholic, said this aft
ernoon; "The Knights believe in edu-
cation as the only safeguard of this and
all other liberty loving nations. 1t is
the duty of the state to see that a child
is educated, leaving to the parents the
selection of the school, or method of
such education. 1t is parents right
and privilege to educate his child
in Catholic, Lutheran, private
or public school, just as he
sees fit; but it is the duty of the state
to look after the child and see that it is
educated. We are in favor of COM
pulsory education, so the state can
legally and in an authoritative way say
to the parents or guardian: Educate
your child: don't care where; leave
that with you; but you must educate
him or will That is the position of
the knights of Labor on the school
question, and that resolution will be
adopted in the general assembly, it is
believed, without dissenting voice.
We may also take some action in favor
of introducing the Australian ballot
into states not yet voting that way"
