PASSES ON RAILROADS.
The Government to Test the Validity
of the Alleged Law Against Them.

The Government to Test the Validity
ofthe Alleged Law Against Them.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Attorney Cen
eral Miller has determined to test the right
of railway companies to issue free passes.
The question to be decided is whether the
issue of such passes is a violation of the
interstate commerce law.
He will shortly bring suit against one of
the New England railroads known to have
issued passes, probably the Boston and
Maine road. The suit will be instituted in
New Hampshire, and Especial attorney will
be appointed TO conduct the case.
WANTS THE LAW CONSTRUED.
The government is eager to obtain judi
cial construction of the act upon this point,
and the issue honRs upon the question of
whether or not there Is a prohibition against
passes included in the clause providing that
no rates shall be given more or less than the
fixed schedule OF the road
In many cases railroads issue passes
openly and contend that there is no legal
restriction upon such action, and it will Le
one of these roads against which suit will
be brought, so that the question will not be
one Of fact, but Of law, thus simplifying the
proceedings.
The commission has been putting off a
decision Of the pass question ever since it
was organized, largely because Chairman
Cooley. who took this matter as his spe-
cialty, was at first too busy and afterward
too Ill to settle it, but the commission feels
1t to be It's duty now to announce its judg-
ment on 1t for oil 1t is understood that it
will hold that free passes are illegal under
the interstate commerce law. Whatever
its decision is, Ii will be prospective and not
retroactive in its effects.

CRISP STILL IN A STUDY.
LESTER TO BE ON THE RIVER AND
HARBOR COMMITTEE.

Mr.. Blount to be Made the Head OF
the Committee on Postofacss, If Pos
sible- Mills Expected to Be the
Leader of the Ways and Means Com
mitteemen.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE problem of
committee assignments for Georgia men
puzzles Mr.. Crisp not little. Mr.. Lester
by common consent will go to the committee
on rivers and harbors. Mr. Crisp wants to
put Mr. Blount at the head of postotiices
and Mr.. Turner on the committee on ways
and means, where they belong by rights.
but the necessity for putting northern men
at the front may render this difficult. Mr..
Livingston will get place on the committee
on agriculture. The others are as yet uu-
assigned even by rumors
MILLS OUT AGAIN.
Representative Mills was out and about
again to-day apparently as we'll as ever,
having had most fortunate escape from
grip or pneumonia. He has heard nothing
ofSpeakerCrisp as to the Craftsmanship from
the committee on ways and means. The
TACT is that Mr.. Crisp is kept from decision
by the two strong opposite currents of ad-
vice now pouring into the speakers room
about the course he should take respecting
Mr.. Mills. 1t is believed that he will finally
take the advice of those friends who want
him to tender the place to Mr.. Mills and
that Mr.. Mills will accept.
GOING TO TAKE REST.
By the associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1L-Speaksr Crisp
will probably leave Washington for few
days and 60 to some quiet place, where he
lftla ha
needs after the wear and tear OF bis canvass
and his 1ncessant labors since his election,
ard where he can also work uudisturbed
on the arrangement Of the committees. He
will not leave the city until all the members
of the House have had au opportunity to
express their views to him. He spent the
day at his room at the capitol aud received
a number OF members, the programme being
the same as that OF yesterday.
The speaker desires through the press to
return his cordial thanks to many persons
VINO by mail and telegraph have sent him
their congratulations on his election. These
congratulations are so numerous that IL ia
not possible for him now, with all the other
work that is before him, to make an in
dtvidual response to each one received.
NO CONCLUSION REACHED.
No conclusion had been reached this af-
ternoon with respect to any Of the commit
tees, or the policy to be pursued as regards
their composition. 1t is probable that when
the House convenes tomorrow the commit
mittees on accounts and on mileage
will be announced. The work OF
these committees relates merely to
the salaries and travelling expenses Of mem
bers of the House, and they are usually ap-
pointed very soon after the organization OF
the House. in order that the accounts Of
the members may be audited. 1t was sug-
gested this afternoon that Mr.. Rusk Of
Maryland might perhaps be made chairman
of one of these committees.
The committee on rules, so far as can be
learned, is entirely an unknown quantity
whose composition is not likely to be de-
termined upon before next week.

---.. of appeals. -.-----..--
ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 11.-Never in re-
cent years has such large crowd of inter-
ested parties thronged the court of appeals
chamber as was the case this morning on
the occasion OF the arguments In the four
disputed senatorial districts. Among thos g
present Of the counsel for the republicans
were Joseph II. Choate, William A. Suther-
land, Matthew Hale, j. Ryder Cady and
Col. George Bliss of New York, and Mr..
Parkhurst; while on behalf of the demo-
Gratis appear Deputy Attorney General
Maynard, Delos McCurdy of New York,
and Louis Marshall of Syracuse. Others
present included state officers, the several
candidates from disputed districts and
prominent lawyers and politicians. Long
before the court met, at 10 o'clock, every
chair and inch of standing room In the
court chamber was occupied. The first
four cases on the calendar of the court ar
gued to-day were appeals on behalf of the
state canvassing board, awarding certifi-
Gates Of election In the Fifteenth, Six
teenth, Twenty-fifth and Twenty seventh
senatorial districts.
The argument was finished about 2
O'Clock. The court, after giving counsel
the right to file additional briefs, adjourned.
Four appeals in relation to the board of
canvassers of Onondaga county, counting
republican transposed ballots for senator in
that district and in the First Onondaga as
sembly district, will be argued on Tuesday.

RECIPROCITY WITH GERMANY
The Official Correspondence Setting
Forth the Details Made Pnhlir

The Official Correspondence Setting
Forth the Details Made Public,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE official cor
respondence has been public this afternoon
setting forth the details of the reciprocity
arrangement entered into between the
United States and Germany, whereby the
sugar of the latter secures con-
tinued free admission into the United States
and sundry American products named in
an accompanying schedule obtain admission
into Germany at rates agreed upon. This
table shows a reduction in the German tariff
duties on wheat Of 80 per cent, rye 80 Der
cent, oats 3715 per cent, corn 20 per cent
butter Is per cent, salted and picked pork
and beef IS per cent, wheat -four and corn
meal 30 per cent The arrangements was
submitted to the German Reichstag on
Dec. Z, and If approved by that body will
go into effect on Feb. next.
OBJECT OF THE TREATY.
VIENNA. Dec. 1.-THE preamble TO the
zollverein bills explains that the treaty
with Germany is for the purpose Of opening
that market still more to Austrian prod
ucts. With regard to the treaty with Italy
1t is stated that Austria is obliged to
coucede the Italian demand for a large con-
cession in linen duties, rather tnan TO
jeopardize the treaty. In reference to the
grain duties it is stated that as long as
Russia will not conclude treaty with Ger
many, Hungary will be able to successfully
compete with Russia in the German market
in cereals
HUNGARY DON'T LIKE IT.
The Hungarian press objects TO the
German convention with the United
States. Strong language is used
about the ''disillusioningn of Austria and
Hungary as to the advantage they will de-
rive from the zollverein. Hungary ex-
pected a monopoly Of the German corn
trade and now fears that the same facility
will be extended to Russia. This disSrust
In Hungary Is held to account for the desire
shown in Austria to haster the commercial
treaties through the Reichsrath.

ENaLAND's ROYAL MARRIAGE.
The Arrangements for the Ceremony
Being Perfected.

The Arrangements for the Ceremony
Being Perfected.
Copyright. 1891, by the Y. associated Press)
LONDON. Dec. 1l.-Arrangements for
the marriage Of the Duke Of Clarence and
Avondale were, it is understood, discussed
by the cabinet to day. Although the act
Of 1889 bars special grant to the duke the
ministers hold that dowry can be voted to
Princess Victoria Mary. The Prince of
Wales will visit the queen at Windsor
Monday to state the intentions OF the minis
listers. Although March 10 has been an
nounced as the wedding day, the Prince of
Wales tonight authorized statement that
the ceremony might take place earlier,
probably Feb. 10, on the anniversary
of the queens marriage. The
Prince Of Wales will himself publicly an
nounce the day whom it has been definitely
fixed. Mr.. Gladstone and his wife called
at Marlborough house to-day to offer
their congratuletlon ON the betrothal.
Mr.. Gladstone merely signed his name
in the visitors book, but his wife had an
interview with the Princess of Wales and
conveyed his good wishes. The queen gave
dinner at Windsor tonight to the Duke
of Clarence, the Princess Victoria Mary
and the whole Teck family, who will leave
the castle Tomorrow.
STORY OF THE BETRoTHAL.
The current stories that the betrothal Is
due TO the Duke Of Clarence's persistent
love under great opposition do not agrea
with the courtreports. On the contrary ft
is known that the Duke OF Clarence has
long been enamored of Princess
Helene OF Orleans, and that two
years ago he personally declared
his passion to the Count Of Paris and
received assurance that the Princess Helene
reciprooated his love and that both her
father and mother approved the match.
Princess Helene then went to Rome to put
the question OF a change of religion as an
absolute necessity before the pope, who
told her it would be impossible that such a
change could obtain bis remotest sympathy,
FASTENED BY PRINCE GEORGES ILLNESS.
The position remained unsettled until
Prince George became i'll, when the queen
and prince and Princess Of Wales became
alarmed over the chance of the Duke Of
Fife nearing the throne. Pressure was then
put on th9 Duke of Clarence and Avondala
on every side, family and cabinet reasons
being adduced against an alliance with the
house of France. This pressure led to his
acceptance of Princess Victoria Mary,
for whom he has shown
cousinly liking. The queen has promised
dowry to the bride. Although apart-
pared as the first home of the pair, Clar-
ance house now occupied by the Duke OF
Edinburgh, is designed as their future resi-.
dence. The royal family look forward to the
permanent abode Of the Duke of Edinburgh
at Coburg, on the death of his aged uncle.
On the occasion Of the coming marriage the
queen will raise the Duke of Teck aud his
children to the dignity of ''royal highnesses.p
They are now simply "highnesses."

MEMPHIS COMPRESS RATES.
An Advance IN Price of Q Cents Re.
sisted by the Railroads,

S4SbSu Dy the RAILROADS.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Dec. II.-Judge HAM
mond in the United States circuit court this
morning refused the application Of the
LOUISVILLE and Nashville Railraad Com
pany for an injunction to compel the Mem
PMS Cotton Compress Company to comply
with Its contract to compress cotton bales
at lO cents per 100 pounds The
compress has a monopoly of
the COMPRISING Of cotton. having
Dought or driven out all competitors and il
has contract with all railroad companies
10 compress cotton for five years at 10 cents
per 100, but to make up recent heavy
losses by fire or for other reasons it has
hotiled all railroad companies that they
must pay IL cents per 100 for compression
and refuses to perform the contract.
NO OTHER COMPRESS AVAILABLE.
There being no other compress available
this leaves the railroads no other alterna-
tive but to pay the extra price, unless the
compress could be compelled by injunction
to perform It's contract. As soon as notice
was given the Newport News and Missis-
slppl Valley company filed bill to compeI
the compress to take 10 cents, but Judge
Hammond refused the injunction because it
did not appear that the contract had been
actually violated, but only proposition to
cuhrRe more Tor compression. The Louis
vile and Nashville bill alleged tender OF
cotton for compression and refused to do
the work for less tnan 12 cents, also that the
compress company was ignoring the stipu-
lasion to compress only for railroads and
was working for shippers direct and de-
manding II cents.
AN INJUNCTION REFUSED,
An injunction was refused on the ground
that court OF equity will not compel any
one to work for another at a stipulated
price, but leave the injured party to his
action for damages at law, which, being
an adequate remedy, jurisdiction Of
equity is forbidden to United States
courts by an act Of congress. The
railroad company contended that the pub
lie interest was affected by disturbance of
freight rates and disastrous competition
with points where compression OF cotton
could be done for less price than
demanded at Memphis, but Judge
Hammond ruled that public policy,
which forbids unnecessary interference
by the courts with the conduct Of business
under contracts, aud forbids jurisdiction
that would restrict by such orders freedom
Of the economic laws of trade and COM
merce, was as imp p0rtant as the other con-
sideration urged in favor Of the injunction,
and denied the application.
The decision will seriously affect the rail-
roads at Memphis and cause a readtustment
Of the rates on cotton at the very hight of
the season, when IL Is very inconvenient to
provide against losses by competition. No
appeal is possible until final hearing, and
what win or can be done by the railroads is
uncertain.

Financial Matters Seem to be Going

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Chronicles ST.
Petersburg correspondent says MATTERS
here are drifting from bad to worse. The
whole energy of the department Of finance
seems centred in manipulating funds of the
Berlin and Paris exchanges. Despite reports
of gold imports, the Imperial Bank re-
turn does not show an increase. There is
nothing to show whether the gold is locked
In the war chest or what has become of it.
All Glasses are discouraged because of the
half -heartedness of the measures taken by
the government TO cope with the famine
difficulties. The consequences Of the
famine are only beginning TO be realized.
Merchants complain that prohibitions Of
grain exports have locked up capital and
that there is no circulation of money. The
mobiles are unable to collect their revenues,
and therefore decline to pay what they owe
the shopkeepers. The cessation of the court
festivities causes dire distress to small
tradesmen.n
