A fact which seems to lend emphasis to
the rumOr is that the plans and speclfica-
tons FOX Mission Pier for tho purpose of
receiving a coal-bunker have been adopted
by the Harbor Commissioners, and bids are
now being advertised for the work. The
new wharf will be built of creOsOted piles
and the bunker to be built will have a
capacity of 1000 tons of coal. 1t is
to be built for the use OF John Rosen-
fields Sons as dischargng point for
their vessels. The arrangements con-
road for transferring the coal from the dock

own on the west side of East street directly
opposite the dock. The firm has arranged
TO eXpend $50, 600 in the work.

pBoGHEss OF THE GRAVES Trial.

Denver, Dec 26.-In the Graves trial to-day Mr.
stevens announced that. aftec examination OF the
letter introduced Thursday, the prosecution with
drew all objections to its being admitted In evidence
This the letter which II alleged the doctor wrote
TO Mrs. Barnaby In San Francisco at the time she
was on her way to Denver, and at about the time
the fatal. bottle mailed. The Intention Is to
prove from 1t that Graves thought Mrs. Barnaby
was In San Francisco, and that therefore, lie would not
have mailed the bottle TO her In Denver he thought
she was elsewhere. Judge Furlnan read the letter
which explained TO Mrs. Barnaby how to get the
doctors checks cashed, and which told OF tie death
of his brother. 1t dated March ~, and was
ted mt Providence. on Marh 80. Mr. Stevens
then said he wished the letter to 70
into evidence under instructions OF the court.
The letter was passed from juror 10 Juror, and finally
was handed back 10 Judge Fdrinan. The defence ap
peared jubant, but the prosecution was not unhappy
Jndge Furman resumed the Doctors direct examination
and the witness denied that he had told Mrs Hickey
that lie had engaged Dollie Hanley to act spy
Mrs BaTnaby. He was in Denver In March last, with
his brothers body. This closed Dr. Gravcs's direct
examination and Mr. Stevens began his cross-ex-
animation,

Captain Coulson says he Is convinced that IL II

Revenue Marine Service on the Islands in absolute

cp1,uvAI DILEMMA OF STATE OFFICIALS.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: II seems TO me that the criminal dilemma In
the matter Of the stolen Dutchess County returns may
be stated us follows:
l. II the returns taken before they were dehv-
ered By the pOStofoo officials to the state officials their
taking was violation OF the Fedora! postal laws
g II the returns taken after they were deiv-
cred to the state officials, then the act Oh returning
was complete, further return Is necessary and the
responsibility is for piiferng documents In the official
custody OF a state officer, for unlawfully removing
documents by such state officer.
Certainly the state officials either had the docu-
ments or they didn't have them. In the they
robbe the mail and in the otner they robbed the
state records There could be interegnum in which
those returns In the possession OF nobody, and
during which anybody might lawfully seize them.

Commerce law, might be able to bring order out OF
chaos He has accomplished this and the railroads Of
Texas are now strictly obeying the law. Mr. Reagan
is satisfied with the result and 1t is said he believes
the work can go without him. Hence he feels at
liberty to return to the Senate and has about decided
to enter the race Legislature is to be elected

The Secretary further showed some impatience mt the

that they were without foundation, and that there was

THE QUESTION OF EXCESSIVE COMMISSIONS

THE QUESTION OF EXCESSIVE COMMISSIONS.
Chicago Dec. 90 (SpeciaD.-The commissioners OF
the Western Traffic Association issued 10 day an eab
orae opinion on the subject OF excessive commissions
and gave their reasons for thinking that big confidence
game is being played. After reviewing the various
charges and charges I'm regard TO cutting rates
the commissioners say In the opinion OF the COM
mssioners this whole transaction has the appearance
of being persistent effort the part OF A. f. John
son Co. and other immigrant agents In New York TO
break down the agreed schedule OF commissions by
making payment themselves excess thereof and then
bringing forward the fact Of such payments founda-
ton for applications for relief. Each case, when run
down. is traced TO those and goes no further
and while 1t is possible there association lines That
have been drawn into complications with them by rep
reseptations and inducements concerning traffic to be
obtained the commissioners fail to any occasion
for authorizing any variation from the agreed basis
Tho development OF the facts which have thus been
made TO appear Is OF use In showing the persstency
with which parties interested brokers In procuring
flow OF immigration from abroad In order TO receive
reward for their ability to route the immigrants over
this or that line constantly endeavor TO break down
the reasonable safeguards railroad companies have TO
protect their revenues from attack and the crcum-
stances shown emphasize the Importance OF some under
standing upon the subject If possible which shall be
more firm I'm its nature than the simple agreement
restricting the amount to be paid, which now con
stitltcs the only protection ,
The commissioners say they have a number OF plans
under consideration which were discussed In meeting
held on December 16 and which Will be laid before
the advisory board at its meeting In New, YORK on
January l2 Among these plans IS one which CON
templates the establishment OF joint agency 10 New
work ID Is the most popular and Will In all prob
ability be recommended for adoption.
