Ne, Guns for the Ar,uy.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Tha board of
ordnance, which has had the duty Of
adjusting u smaller calibre rifle sights
and other details of the new magazine
gun for the army, has handed in an in
teresting report. Its importance may
be judged by the fact that the new
weapon, which is a modification of the
kelag- -Jorgensen gun, will be made at
the Springfield (Mass.) national armory
for the army and marine corps, and
that the navy will also change its rifle
to correspond. 1t is hoped to have some
of the new weapons ready by Jan. /,
and it is likely that some sort of smoke
less powder suitable for this calibre will
have been adopted by that time. The
calibre of the army rifle will be reduced
to 80,

Decision Handed Down by JuSticU Brewer
of Far Reaching Effect.
ST. PAUL, Oct. IA decision which
will affect every railroad in the United
States was filed in the United States
circuit court CT appeals. The decision
was delivered by David j. Brewer. chief
justice of the cour; Of appeals for tho
Eighth district and associate justice of
the United States supreme court The
case was the Chicago and Northwestern
railway vs. John Osborne.
The far-re"chiug effects and the M
honal importance of the decision consist
IN 1t beng reversal Of the hitherto pre-
valllng construction of the "lomg and
short haul clause of the "intcrstate
commerce law" 1t thus upsets the
basis on which rests the tariff charges of
every railroad i'll the country, ami in so
DONG Neces>ltates "A revision OF the rates;
1t declares the foundation supporting the
railroad legislation of the Western
states to res, on anerroncousview of the
meaning, intent and legal effect OF the
much discussed clause; and it wipes out
OF existence the vast code of rules and
regulations that has been adortcd for
the regulation of railroad matters. The
decision is final go far rs the particular
case is concerned, and tho principle es-
tablishcd will have bearing upon all
questions arising under the "long and
short haui' clause.
The decision holds that no railroad is
required to arrange its local rates on the
basis of its through rates, and that
through rates are entirely distinct from
local rates whenever the through rate is
established by combination between
two or more roads. In other wort:s,
that if arai.luad has a through rate from
point west Of Chicago to the seatoard,
and the part If tho through rate given
the road from Chicago weEiw tu the
shipping point was less than The rate
the same railroad changed fr. similar

Chicago, yet such ii state vi iIrts con-
sti. utctl no vocation Of the "ivng and

breed descendants have occupied ever
since. Two hundred thousand acres of
the reservation was allotted to these
Indians several years ago, and many
falms are III Il full state of cultivation.
The amount of land now at Tie disposal
of white 3, ttlcrs is about 200, 900 acres.
The commission appointed by the
president to negotiate the purchase of
the unallotted lands from the Yankton
Indians comprises Colonel Adams, of
Webster, S. d.. Dr.. Brown, of Chicago,
and j. M. Cole, of ST. Louis. The COM

are disposed to sell, and all that is left
to do now is to agree on price.
