The Spokane Case Reversed by the

The Spokane Case Reversed by the
Court of Appeals.
SAN Francisco, October 25.-Four de-
cisions were rendered by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals to-day.
In the case of G. F. Webber ct al,
plaintiffs in error, VS.. the Spokane Ma
tional Bank and Hiram L. Chase, re-
ceiver, the judgment was reversed, and
the cause was remanded for new trial.
The plaintiffs in error brought suit
against the bank to recover on three
promissory notes given in payment for
furniture supplied to the company. The
receiver pleaded that at the time OF pur-
chase Indebtedness had accrued against
the bank in excess OF its paid-up capital
and it was therefore prohibited from in
curing further liabilities. The jury rem
dered verdict in favor of the defend
ants under instructions of the court.
The evidence showed that at the time
the furniture was purchased the liabili-
ties of the bank amounted to $4,000,
while its paid-up capital was only $780,
600. 1t was held by the Court OF APP
peals:
"That an Indebtedness which ma
tional bank incurs in the exercise of any
OF its authorized powers, and for which
it has received and retains the consider
alton, is not void from the fact that the
amount OF the debt surpasses the limit
prescribed by the statute, or which ID
even incurred in violation of positive
prohibition of law in that regard"
Judgment was also affirmed in the
case Of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, appellant, against the City of
Spokane, appellee. The action was to
enjoin the city from extending certain
street across the right of way of the
company. The court below held that
the street had been dedicated to and for
public use as thoroughfare, and dis
missed the bill.

PROJECTED STEAMER LINE.
Manager McNeiII Figuring ON Trans
pacific Route.

Manager MoNeill Figuring ON Trans
pacific Route.
PORTLAND, October 26.-1t is probable
that some time this winter or early in
the spring steamer line will be inaug-
urated between Portland and China and
Japan. Mr.. McNeill since his appoint
ment as receiver of the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company has seen the
advantages that his road would have in
possessing such line, and he has been
earnestly working to bring the mat
ter to a satisfactory conclusion. AS yet,
however, the line can be said to be only
under consideration. None OF the de-
tails have been arranged, and it is not
even known to certainty that the line
will be established. This matter came
up on Mr.. McNeill's former visit here,
and was suggested by the large output oil
-four from this section and the ready
market for the product on the Asiatic
side. Since the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company's alliance with the
Great Northern the project has been
presented in different light. An East
ern outlet is thus afforded for AsiatiC
freight, and there is also the assurance
that the connecting road win further the
scheme to the fullest extent in its power
something the Union Pacific did not dc
for the Upton line of steamers. The
Great Northern would have an advan-
tage in connecting with Portland line
of steamers, as there are already two
lines established on the Sound to divide
the business Of ports there.

New YORK, October 25.-The follow
ing is published in this mornings World:
The Rev. James Sotlee, full-blooded
Indian, who ministers to his race in
Manitoba, started from his Northern
home week ago to visit Archdeacon
Kirkley of Rye, N. Y, whom he met
when the Archdeacon was missionary
in Canada. Mr.. Sotlee is "A years old.
On the way to Chicago he met a stranger,
who relieved him of his cash and left
him penniless and friendless in that
wicked city. The Indian preacher ran
across the Rev. Mr.. Rawson, whom he
had met before, and was supplied with
money enough to reach this city. When
he arrived here Saturday evening, he did
not know the way to the Grand Central
depot. He asked policeman, and was
directed to the station-house, where, he
says, he was promptly locked mp until
morning. The next day man accom-
panied the guileless preacher to the de-
pot, bought him ticket and gave him
80 cents, taking his watch as security.
The man promised to return the watch
to the Rye rectory, but has not done SO

THRUST LAW
Case Of the Sugar Trust Before
the Supreme Court.
A CONSPIRACY IS ALLEGED


1t Came up on the Appeal OF the Cow
ernment From the Decision OF the
Lower Court-virtual Monopoly of the
sugar Refining business.
WASHINGTON, October 26.--Argument
was begun In the United States Supreme
Court to-day on the appeal OF the gov
ernment from the decision Of the United
States Circuit court for the eastern dis
trict OF Pennsylvania in favor of the
American Sugar Company, the E. G.
Knight and the Spreckels and Franklin
refneries, against which the government
brought suit under the Sherman anti
trust law. Ex-Solicitor-General Phil
lips opened for the government and John
johnson for the refners. The present
suit was brought originally with the in
tention OF having the sale OF the prop
erty and business OF the Knight. the
Spreckels, the Franklin and the Dele
ware Sugar House Companies to the
American Sugar Refining Company de-
clared void and illegal. The attorneys
for the government in their argument
sought to show that the four Phila-
delphia companies prior to March, 1892,
manufactured independently Of the
American Company 3315 per cent OF the
total sugar manufactured in the United
States, competing with the American
Company, and that by obtaining con-
troll OF the stock OF these companies the
American Company obtained virtual
monopoly OF the sugar-refining business
in the United States, and was thus en-
abled to limit the production and in
crease the price of refined sugar. The
consolidation was claimed TO have been
combination and conspiracy to effect
an illegal object.

No warrant for war Reports.

WASHINGTON, October 25.-Minister
Arrigia of Guatemala does not credit the
dispatches from Oaxaca, Mexico, saying
that war is impending between Mexico
and Guatemala, and that the latter coun-
try has sent troops to meet several thou
sand Mexican troops at Acapulco and
Tehuantepec. Senior Arrigia says that
he would be quickly advised if a warlike
step had been taken, and he has received
nothing to show that such move has
been made or is contemplated. The
boundary line question, which was be-
ing negotiated between Mexico and Qua
temala, is no more, says the Minister,
than the boundary between Mexico and
the United States, and it has not at any
time reached serious phase which
would warrant the reports Of war.

TRIAL OF WASHINGTON COAL.
Results Are Very Satisfactory as Far rs
Disclosed.

WASHINGTON, October 26. = Com
mander Chadwick, chief Of the equip
ment bureau of the navy, has received
complete reports from the commanders
Of the ships engaged in the Behring Sea
patrol on the results attending the ex-
periments with Pacific Coast coal. ALI
five of the vessels had some of this coal,
and they consumed about 10000 tons.
The trials were confined to the Fairhaven
and Blue Canyon coal, and while they
we're not as thorough as is deemed neces-
sary to fully establish the quality OF the
coal, the result was very satisfactory as
far as disclosed. Secretary Herbert has
determined to pursue the experiment
further, and will cause one of our naval
vessels to make exhaustive tests of the
fuel, probably using it on a cruise to
Canada.

EASTERN OYSTERS.
An Attempt to be Made to Propagate
Them in willapa Harbor.

SoUTH BEND, WASH, October 26.-
Charles H. Townsend of the United
States Fish Commission, who has been
arranging for planting carload of East
ern oysters in Willapa Bay, has received
information from Commissioner McDon-
aid that the stocking of the bay will be
delayed about three weeks longer. Suit
able beds have been selected, those most
favored by the local oystermen being in
the vicinity of the mouth OF the Willapa
river, the Palix Channel and Billy's
Channel, near Sealand. Mr.. Townsend
desires to deposit the oysters on public
grounds in sufficiently deep water and q
portion OF them at least as far back from
the sea as possible in order that they
may have the benefit OF as high sum-
mer temperature as can possibly be Sc
cured. The oystermen are cooperating
with them, and will protect and care for
the Eastern oyster plants.

THINK SHE is LOST.
The Ivanhoe's Passengers and Crew May

TACOMA, October 26.-0ver twenty
in Tacoma and Seattle have
been interviewed regarding the missing
ship Ivanhoe's chances OF reaching port.
Not one expressed any hope that she
will ever be seen again, though more
than half expressed the belief that both
the passengers and crew will eventually
be found, for they say that, unless the
Ivanhoe collided with some other vessel
and both were sunk Immediately, the
Ivanhoe would not be liable to meet
with such disaster as would prevent the
launching OF the lifeboats and the escape
OF the crew. Speaking Of the Ivanhoe's

said that for several years she had been
in bad condition, and that there was

but that her pumps were not in constant

st. Louis Republic: Few people in
this broad land do not know that the
late General Robert +. Lees war horse,
Traveller, gained almost as much fame
as did the celebrated commander him
self. After the war an artist wrote TO
General Lee, asking for a description of
Traveller, which General Lee wrote TO
him. A copy of this description was
made by Miss Mildred Lee, q daughter
OF the general, for q st. Louis friend
who gave II to The Cleaner. This Is
what the general wrote about his
favorite horse: IF | was an artist like

Traveller, representing his fine proper

back, strong launches, fat legs. small
head, broad forehead, delicate ears.

The A. X. u. Is Abie'to Garry on the Strike
to the End Of the Century.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE big strike,
although q thing of the past so far as
the general managers of the railroads
seem concerned, is further than ever
from a settlement, from an A. r. L..
point of view. The labor leaders are
furious over the treatment accorded
their proposal for peace by the general
managers and are determined to fight
1t out to the bitter end.
This morning President Debs made
the following statement to q group of
newspaper lei 1.-THE situation Is now
that SO far as we are concerned every
avenue to a settlement has been closed
up by the rejection by the General
Managers association Of our PROPOSE
ton submitted yesterday. Not only
did they reject a fair and square prop
osition to settle. but took occa-
sion to show their n o and
spleen by attempting to in
suit, not only organized labor,
but Mayor Hopkins and the city au-
thorities as we'll. As far as we are
concerned we feel like the boy who
was kicked by the jackass-we consider
the ource from whence IL came. Labor
representatives cannot be the friends Of
railway officials and the friends OF the
employees at the same time. IL they
are the friends OF the officials 1t is be-
cause of their apostacy TO the men.
We have tho confidence and
support of a vast majority OF
tho employees, hence the general
managers have no use for MS. for which
We are truly grateful. 1t Is very evil
dent that their purpose now Is to crush
out organized labor. They should have
better sense. They no moro crush
out the spirit OF unionism than they
can stop the flowing of the rivers to
the sea- We now propose TO muster
all our resources and combine all our
forces to give the railroads q fight
to the finish regardless of con-
sequences. For the past ten days
we have been flooded with teie-
grams, letters and communications
from all sources, appealing to ms to de-
clare the strike of. We have done
everything that manly men could do to
that end. We will moi surrender our
honor. We nov propose TO test the
efficacy of public opinion. II the rail.
road managers had made us az fair a
proposition us we made TO them and we
had refused to accept IL. public opinion
would rise in revolt and would en-
force its verdict at tho point

people. Corporations ure not o

tracks There is talk of decreasing the
force, but the authorities await the
action of the American Railway union
at their meeting today for more def
mite information as to the collapse of
the strike. President Debs maintains
an air Of confidence in the ultimate re-
suit, and holds hat the blame for pro-
longing tho struggle rests with the
general managers.

The TERRIBLE BLACK PLAGUE
Description of the Ravages of the
Disease in China.
Sixty Per Cent of Those Attacked With
the Malady Die-Coolies Refusing
10 Bury the D~ead-Trying to
Appease Evil Deities.

NEW YORK, July a. Reports of the
terrible black plague now raging in
China received here contain some hor-
rible details. 1t is said that the disease
is due solely to the filth in which the
poorer Chinese live and the want of
water. The CONSERVATION among the
inhabitants is very great. The number
of cases and deaths has increased day
by day.
The seizure is for the most part en-
tremely sudden. The first symptoms
are intense fever, with swelling of tho
glands OF groin, armpit and neck. Coma
follows speedily and death ensues in
iorty-eight hours or less. When the
attack continues for several days the
patient frequently recovers. The per-
centage Of mortality is about co per
cent. A special burial ground has been
purchased and the bodies are inferred
with all speed.
There Is great difficulty In obtaining
coolies to remove bodies to the ceme-
terry and the British police officers have
themselves frequently had to place the
blackened corpses In the collins. Many
OF h Chinese sick also strongly OBJ
jected TO being taken TO the hospitals.
The natives do little TO help them
selves, and confne their efforts TO
%parading the streets night and day car
ryiug ~josses, firing off crackers and
burning joss sticks TO propitiate the
malignant deities Of the pestilence.
At Canton the plague is raging
fercely. The viceroy, the governor
and all the chief officials OF the place
have publicly offered sacrifice to the
evil spirits IN the hope of staying the
ravages of the pestilencc.
One feature of the visitation is that
the malady attacks animals, and the
bodies of 81 900 rats have been collected
and buried. A striking story of the
virulence Of the disease is told by q
native paper. In n house a fam
lily of eight persons died and
the only survivor was n girl. A
thief broke into the house In
search Of plumber and the girl
promised hat he could take every
thing in the place i: he would go and
buy collins for her relations with money
she would give him. When the thief
returned, having ordered the collins, he
found the girl dead, and he himself fell
a victim to the plague while ransack-
ing the house.
