The Union Pacific Telegraph Suit.

WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 3-Assocate Justice
Brewer. of the supreme court of the United
States sitting circuit judge, began the hear
ing of arguments in the suit brought by the
United States attorney for the district of Ne
braska against the Union Pacific Railway Com
pany and the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany. The suit was brought by the attorney
general pursuant to the provisions OF an act of
congress now known as the Anderson act, which
compels all subsidized railroad companies
which by law are required to construct. operate
and maintain telegraph lines, TO so construct,
operate and maintain them as to furnish to con-
Meeting lines equal facilities for the transmits
sion of business. The government seeks to have
declared void the contract beyond the cooper
ative competency of the company. Counsel for
the Western Union filed exhaustive brief
containing a statement of their position in the
matter. Counsel insist on the competency of
the railroad company to enter into contract
with a telegraph company, reinforced by the
provisions of the general telegraph law origi-
nally enacted on June Il, 1866, and that de-
PENDANTS and the contract between them are not
within the commands, iniunctions and prohi-
bitons OF the Anderson act

mined to find out what the dog was dig

a few minutes was unearthed the skele-

the bones, and the indications are that
the body had been buried not more than
few months. The condition Of the
skeleton precludes the probability of

Californian.

Californian.
CHICAGO, Sept. 10. Edward S. Clay
burn, prominent vineyard-owner Of
California, who is in the city on his re-
turn from European tour, said in an in
terview:
al travelled through all the famous
grape growing sections in Spain, Italy,
France and Germany, and l am CON
vinced that inside Of ten years the old
world will have to rely upon this coun-
try almost entirely for its sup
ply of first-class wines. / had
read a good deal about the devasta-
ton among the European vineyards,
caused by phylloxera, mildew, the
black and brown rot, and other diseases
of the vine, but l had no conception
how completely paralyzed the grape
growing industry is in Europe until
made this trip. In France and Italy
nearly three-fourths of the vineyards
have been altogether wiped out by
phylloxera within five years, and the
remaining one-fourth of the acreage is
rapidly succumbing to the plague.
Five years ago Spain produced six times
the amount of grapes that were harvest
ed from last years crop, and the situa-
tion in Germany is almost as bad.
Science has been appealed to to save
the industry from utter ruin, but with
scarcely any success. 1t will not be
long before the United States will lead
the, world in the production of grapes
and wine"

A POLITICAL CRISIS.
The Province of Quebec in the Midst of
One-Great Excitement.

OnG-NEedt AAAGlltbhGnIs
MONTREAL, Sept. 19.-The province OF
Quebec is in midst of the most import
ant political crisis that has taken place
in many years. So acute is the political
situation that a report has been received
from Quebec that the government may
resign, in which case a political agita-
ton of the utmost Importance will be
precipitated.
The crisis is the outcome of a conflict
of authority between Lieutenant Cover
nor Anglers and Mr.. Mercier. Mr.. Mer-
cier is charged with being implicated in
the Baiex des Chaleurk scandal, which
was recently unearthed at Ottawa.
Lieutenant Governor Anglers transmit
ted the correspondence that passed be-
tween him and Mr.. Mercier to the gov
ernor general, and contrary to all pre-
cedent. this has been laid before the
Dominion parliament and made public.
The publication of the correspondence
has created great sensation. The great
est excitement prevails here over the
situation and every one is awaiting
anxiously to see what the Quebec govern
ment will do.
Mr.. Mercier, it is said, will refuse to
comply with the demands of Lieutenant
Governor Anglers for explanation, and
will force the latter to dismiss the min
istry, in which case a direct conflict
will arise between the crown and repre-
sentatives of the people. The conflict
may have far-reaching consequences, as
the French leaders feel very much ruff
fled over the way in which they are be-
ing treated by the English party, and it
would take very little to raise serious
conflict.

Interesting Discovery Made by One OF

Interesting Discovery Made by One OF
the Party in n Balloon.
Ell PAso, Tex, Sept. 19.-The active
work of sky bombardment was com
menced by Mr.. Ellis and his associates
shortly after 10 o'clock Friday morning.
Mr. Jennings was first on the scene
and his ground explosives of rackarocl
and dynamite were soon popping merri-
ly away up on the top of Franklin
mount.
Then the mortars were trained and
the twenty-one pound bombs were sent
whizzing heavenward to explode 500
feet above. AS soon as the hydrogen
apparatus could be got into shape the
filling of one of the stock balloons was
commenced. The first was exploded
about p m. Several others were sent
up during the afternoon.
To prove the immense force exerted
on the air currents by even slight eX-
plosion Mr.. Ellis, the hero of the sensa-
tiOnal ascension of Thursday relates a
peculiar experience. While he was al
most mile above ground, and probably
three or four miles from the starting
point, Professor Kessler exploded some
hdlL npAcA CHARGES VI uy udlulU6 luebe
charges were small, four sticks of the
explosive, weighing each one-half
pound, were set off a. time.
Yet, said Mr.. Ellis 81 felt the effects
of these explosions. First / saw the
puff of smoke. A few seconds later
came the dull deadened repB'ts; then to
my great surprise the side of the balloon
nearest the scene of the explosion coll
lapsed slightly, with a sharp crack, the
folds continuing to quiver and vibrate
from the effects Of the shock for several
seconds after. If that does not con-
clusively prove that explosions cause
a commingliug of upper air currents, l
would like to know why and if the con-
cussion resultant upon that charge of only
two pounds of dynamite should produce
such results, what must be the effects
on the currents when we touch off one
of these balloons, containing 500 cubic
feet of one Of the most powerful explo-
sives ever invented? My instruments
worked perfectly, and the data | OBJ
tanned is already on my record"
The experiments were witnessed by
great crowd of people.
