No Standing in Court.

Judge Cox, in the Supreme Court OF
the District of Columbia, Tuesday, rem.
dercd decision denying the application
of General Master Workman Sovereign
of the Knights of Labor for an iniunct
lou to restrain the Secretary of the
Treasury from issuing $50, 100000 of
gold bonds. The Judge said it WAS a
well knswn principle of law in cases of
this character that the complainants
must show that the alleged illegal act
would, if carried into execution, injuri-
ously affect their property rights. He
did not think this was shown. The bill
alleged that the knights of Labor had n
membership of over 300, 900, and that the
issue of bonds would incur II lublic in
debtedness of about So, 100000, or one
dollar for each member of the organiza-
ton. This could only happen in the
case of "A per capita or poll tax There
was now no law levying direct tax for
the payment of public indebtedness.
The compliments had not shown that
they would be taxed to Fay the bonds
on maturity. and therefore, rs taxpay-
ers, had no proper standing in court.

The special elections of two congress
men in New York city, Tuesday, Jan.
both, has caused unusual interest be-
cause of the tariff contest in Congress
and the opposition to the Wilson bill

The result can but be taken as a decided
defeat and ii rebuke to the aiministra-
ton and its industry wrecking policy.
The election was to fill vacancies in
the l4th and 18th district, and the result
on ii light vote was:
In the Nth district Lemucl +. Quigg,
Republican,, was elected. He received
IL, $50 votes, aud Col. Brown, DE noe 'at,

Brazilian Affairs.

News contained in a despatch from
Admiral Benham to Secretary Herbert
Tuesday, is to the following effect: 1t
seems that Admiral Benham lost pa

careless firing in the harbor of Rio, and
when Admiral da Cana persisted in his
reckless course, Admiral Benham yes
terday cleared decks for action. Adj
miral da Cana did not take the hint
whereupon Admiral Benham fired sew
cral shots across the bows of da Gama's
flagship. 1t is understood that this
action was salutary. The matter ended
at that point. 1t is believed at the
State Department that da CANA would
willingly force fight with the Ameri-
can naval forces to get out of his diff.
Guilty by surrendering to the United
States.
While boats from an American mer-
chantman were running out lines in
order to haul their ship up to the
wharf. the rebel warships rrajano aud
Suauabara fired II shower of bullets at
them.
Admiral Benham promptly signaled
the Detroit, aud she at once steamed in
toward shore, clearing for action as She
came, and warning the rebel ships that
Admiral Benham would not permit any
Interference with ships flying the AmeTi-
can flag, thus unfolding Minister
rhompson's views. previously stated.
The United States cruiser New York
also cleared for action and steamed close
to the Aquidaban and the Tamandare,
where she dropped anchor, while with.
in an hour the rest of the American
ships had called their crews to quarters.
1t is now inferred that the English are
ready to join in this vigorous course,
and it is believed that Admiral Ben
hams action will result in another CON
ference of the foreign naval commanders
here for a plan of concerted action. Ad-
miral Saldanha da CANA has already
been Informed that lighters loaded with
American merchandise will be protected,
and that American vessels will be al
lowed TO go to and from any part of the
harbor without being fired on, and that
if a bombardment is to be begun at any
time, forty-eight hours notice must he
given by either side in order that foreign
merchantmen may get out of the line OF

The Railway Mail Service.

Chief Clerk r. f. Graves of the Rail
way Mail Service, has received com
munication from Superintendent +. j.
Ryan of Boston. which speaks very well
for the postal clerks in Maine. During
the year just passed they have put up
1903, 800 cards in examination all of which
have been corrected and marked in Mr..
Grave's Office. When compared with
the number of examination cards han
died by the clerks in the other sections
OF the first division it will be seen that
the Maine boys are ahead of the other
clerks. Clerks under Horace Merrill of
Boston, handled 69,5OO cards, clerks I'M
der W. B. Farwell, Boston, handled 6S,-
02i Cards; E. p. Jewett's clerks handled
1896 clIds and M. A. Butterck's clerks
put up 1852 cards.. There are many
more clerks 10 the other sections of this
division than there are in the Maine
section.

Under the Wrong Flag,

The following amusing story Is told
of the late DR.. Wilkinson formerly re-
corder of Hartlcpool He was an en-
thuslastic advocate of the first great re
form bill, One day. walking ont in the
street with an equally Jealous friend, a
highly respectable gentleman like him
self, he saw approaching a great pro
cession headed by a band and ban
ner. The latter, as il streamed in the
breeze, was seen TO bear an inscription.
This could not be quite made ont, but
the word reform was conspicuous in the
midst of it, This was quite enough for
Dir. Wilkinson and his friend. Without
moments hesitation they joined the
throng and marched proudly along
With the rest. But presently the
wind dropped a little, and the legend
on the banner became fully legible.
Great was the horror of DR.. Wilkinson
and his companion to find that the pro
cession they had so eagerly joined, and
in which they had proved such promi-
nent figures, was one of Reformed
Drunkards. London Figaro

day last, appeared to have been, primal
rilv. lack of water. The water works at
that particular time appeared to have
light pressure at the hydrants. Mayor
shaw said the night before the pressure
was Il lbs, but the morning of the fire
the pressure was inadequate. 1t is not
Il good thing, as THE RErcRTER has al
WAYS held. to depend wholly upon one
source of water in an emergency, and
when water is wanted quickly aud in
larre quantities. In this particular,

facilities are always in readiness to meet
