BEER IN THE TERRITORY.

PARIS. Tex, July 25.-Judge Bryant has
rendered an impOrtont opinion in the fed
eral court here. Some time since julius
Kahn was arrested at Purcell, l. T., for
selling a beverage called pale malt" on
the ground that it was an intoxicating
liquor and came within the pale OF the
prohi0itOry laws Of the United States that
prevail over the Indian territory. The de-
fendent claimed that it contained no alCO-
hol, and il II did il was n malt and not a
spirituOuS or vinOus liquor. The act Of
congress Of 1882. soon after that country
was set apart FOR the Indians, provided
that no splrituOus or vinous liquors should
be sold in that country. but did not specify
malt liquors. An analysis OF the pale
malt showed that il was a good article Of
lager beer. Judge Bryant held that As
there WAS no statute prohibiting the sale
II malt liquors, IL was no violation of the
law 10 sell lager beer in any form, but that
person who did sell it did so st his own
peril, as the statute gave deputy marshals
and Indian police power, and made u their
duty 70 spill any such liquors that they
might find: therefore anyone who sells
beer OF malt drinks cannot be punished
BY fine or imprisonment, but may have
goods Of thst character cODhscated

that the contract for the construction OF

MONTREAL, Can, July 25.-A London
cablegram says that the Canadian Pacific

CHICAGO, July 25.-The meeting of the
Western Passenger association was prac-
tically barren of results. 1t was called for
the purpose of considering the situation as
affected by the Chicago and Atoms atti-
tude in regard to Grand Army rates, but
the most that was done was to meet the
action of that road in extending the limits
of tickets to conform with those of the
Central Traffic association. There was no
suggestion made looking toward an AMIGA
bic adjustment of the existing difficulties.
A rumor got abroad in the meeting to the
effect that the Chicago and Alton had de-
cided to further reduce the round trip
rate between Kansas City and Chicago to
IS on account of the Grand Army meeting
at Detroit. This caussd so much conster
nation that the meeting adjourned with
out further action. The Alton people say
