Axsln.s tho Gulf Road.

Judges Caldwell and Sanborn of the United
States Circuit Court have decided the famous
Union Pacific Gulf case against the Gulf road,
at least In part.
The court holds that the Union Pacific ia
not compelled to operate the Julesburg
branch to Denver, but says the receivers must
take into consideration the demands Of the
public and by conference agree on some
basis by which the people may be properly
served.
On the great bone Of contention, the inter-
est question, the court holds that special find
ings are necessary before n decision can be
Of st. Paul Is appointed special master In
chancery to hear tho matters In dispute, make
accountings and report the findings to the
Circuit Court OF Nebraska.
The judges also hold that the Federal
Court for the Nebraska district is the court
of primary Jurisdiction In mntters pertaining
to the Union Pacific, and that, instead of np-
plying to Judge Hallett, Receiver Trumbull
Of the Gulf road should come before Judge
Dundy.
Continuing the court says: sThe court is
not bound to pay the debts nor to perform the
obligations OF the insolyent, nor are Its re-
ceivers. No one ever contends that the obli-
cations Of the insolvent corporation are as
sumcd by its receivers. The only difference
between the liability of such receivers to Day
the debts and TO perform the executory con-
tracts Of an insolvent corporation is that the
ceiyed by the insolvent while the conside-a-
tlon Of the latter may be obtained by the re-
ceivers, and II, after an unreasonable length
of time, they accept the benefits, they may
thereby assume the liabilities of such con-
tract0n

Outbreak In Samua.

Advces from Samoa are to the elect that
. rebellion of serious nature has broken out
The outbreak was caused by the action OF
Henry Ide, the American chief justice, who
succeeded Chief Justice Ccdercrantz on Sep
tember 0, 1892. Chief Justice lde is charged
with iin!ng and throwing into jail the chiefs
of the rival factions In Samoa and with COM
pellIug them to work on the roads, like con-
victs OF the lowest order.
The natives protested strongly and made
all kinds of threats and eventually broke out
into armed rebellion. The followers Of the
native chiefs disputed the right OF the Euro
peans to interfere in what they classed rs
purely native affairs.
The king MalietOa, seems to have remained
thoroughly loyal to the chief justice Tor, upon
being called upon to do so, he promptly sent
a strong force of his Samoan warriors to at
tack the rebels. Several sharp encounters be-
tween King Malietoa's warriors and the ma
tives, commanded by the rebcllious chiefs,
followed. During the engagements thirty
were killed and about fifty were wounded.
Throughout the lighting, up to the time the
steamship Alameda left Samoa, the ndvant
age was mostly on the the governments side,
the rebels being driven from their camp and
forced to retreat into the interior of the Is
land, where 1t was difficult TO pursue them.
King Nalietoa's troops are charged WIN
having terribly mutilated prisoner VINO icii
into their hands, With having burned the
houses Of inofrensIvc natives, and with having
outraged a number Of native women whose
male relatives had taken part in the rebellion:
The troops Of the king are also charged
with number of other atrocities, In which
the beheading of the dead Is said to have
been q common occurrence.
The foreign population OF Samoa Is in n
state Of .he greatest uneasiness, as the natives
are making all kinds of threats against for
eigners, and the arrival OF warship of some
nation is mcst anXiously awaited.

The New York discovery that the
Blarney stone at the worlds fair was
a fake comes rather late in the day.
1t was generally understood months
before the fair closed that the stone
was humbug and it was laughed
at as such. II few New Yorkers
persuaded themselves that they
were paying ten cents for the priv
ilege of kissing the original stone
they at least had their fun and as
much virtue as could come from the
Blarney castle. Ihe press ridiculed
the whole business long ago and

VIII Protect the seal..

In the House of Commons, on motion Of
Sir Charles Russell, the attorney general,
leave was given to introduce bill providing
for the enforcement Of the award Of the Beh-
ring Sea Fisheries Arbitration commission.
The bill was then read for the first time. 1t
provides that any violation Of the terms of
the award is punishable and authorizes the
British warshlps to seize British vessels en-
gagged in violation of the award.
The bill also empowers the queen, by order
in-council, to authorize certain named of
fcers In the United States navy equally to
seize British ships found violating the award.
In the American bill similar provision Will
be included, empowering British officers to
seize American vessels.
The bill also fixes the time of closing the
fisheries. specifies the protective area, pre-
scrIbes the authorized modes OF capture, and
gives the rule by which the system of licenses
are to be worked.

aguan soldiers would neither be brought to

mother Court Deciaioa and Another Ap
peal TO n Higher Tribunal.

inother Court Deoisioa and Another APP
peal 10 Higher Tribunal.
Following the opinion of the Supreme
Court delivered Saturday came q decision on
Monday from Judge Glynn, throwing moro
light on the Denver police board muddle-
Judge Glynn of Holyoke, sitting In the Arapa-
hoe district court In place Of the Judge Gra-
BAN, passed judgment on Mayor Van Horn
md Mcssrs. Mullins and Barnes Of the new
board, who were charged with contempt of
court. They had disregarded the injunction
previously issued by Judge Graham. Both
sides presented lengthy arguments and some
evidence bearing on the question.
The court discharged the defendants on the
grounds that tha. portion Of the writ Of In
junction under which the alleged contempt
was committed was void. Tho court also
quasbed the whole injunction issued by Judge
Graham, holding that those who seek equity
must do equity. and that Orr and Martin had
themselves been guilty of most censurablc ac
tions In fortifying the city hall with dyna-
mite, etc.
The decision also holds that Mullins and
Barnes are clearly entitled to the offices, and
that Orr and Martin arc usurpers. If the lat
ter desire any further remedy they must come
before the court as did ex-Commissioner
Phelps In the Trimble case, from the "out-
tide.
The members of the new board went ut once
to the city hall and appointed john F. Farley
chief OF police, Daniel Oswald first leutenan
and Michael Mnhoney second lieutenant 1t
nlso reappointed the policemen who had been
discharged by the old board for refusing to
sign an agreement to do battle for the old
members Us against the new.
1t was the intention Of the new board to
bring mandamus proceedings against the two
members of the old board TO compel them to
vacate, but the Supreme Court intcrfercd be-
fore this could be done. Application was
made to the higher tribunal late In the even
Ing by Messrs. Wells, Taylor tS Taylor, attor-
neys for Messrs. Orr and Martin, for q writ Of
error and injunction to keep the new board
from interfering with their clients. The petit
ton recited that the Graham injunction was
dissolved without due proceedings, that testi-
mony WAS introduced into the contempt hear
Ing which was Irrelevant because those
charged with contempt admitted their guilt.
| II was held that unless something was done
bloodshed would surely follow.
The Supreme Court agreed to consider the
application for the restraining order on
Wednesday, at which time the whole contro-
versy will be gone into.

Tho Deuver Courts stil, Bu.y.

The appeal OF Orr and Martin Of the Dem
yer police board to the Supreme Court was
rejected by the court. 1t refused to review
the action Of Judge Glyun In dismissing the
injunction.
Orr and Martins attorneys then applied to
Judge Allen, also of the district court, for a
new injunction. He issued temporary In
junction against Mullins and Barnes, intend
cd to restrain them from interfering with the
old board until such time as the quo warrnnto
proceedings already Instituted by the dis
trict attorney had been decided by the court.
Before the attorneys could get this injunc-
tion served the new board appointed II. NJ.
Behymer for chief of police, and steps were
taken to organize a new forces The result
was that there came near being riot, but
the Injunction was finally served, end on the
advice OF their lawyers the new board ceased
activities.
Governor Waite was reported to be very
impatient Of the delay in seating tho new
board and threatened to declare martial law.
The new board appealed Thursday 10 Judge
Glynn for an injunction restraining the old
board from acting, md he granted 1t. Orr
and Martin refused TO obey and will be called
upon to answer for contempt. They claim that
tut luJuuCtiOu oi ouhBC Wy 40 AhopSh
because of that of Judge Allen Issued the day
before. The Barnes and Mullins lawyers
claim that Judge Glynn's injunction was a
continuation Of the former proceedings In bis
court and takes precedence over the action of
Judge Allen.
The new chief Of police, Behymer, resigned
his position. The other chief, John F. Stone,
was arrested for his violent conduct on
Wednesday night and fined $50 by the police
Judge. The case was appealed.
4 The Supreme court on Friday issued a tenn
porary writ Of prohibition to restrain Jud &C
Glynn of the District court from taking fur
iher action in the FIRE and police dispute. and
ordering him to trapscribe record Of the
proceedings so that the court might review
his action. While the Supreme Court was
doing this Judge GIynn set aside the injunc-
tion Issued against the new board by Judge
Allen the day before.
On Saturday the Supreme Court acted
again BY issuing a wait Of prohibition against
Judge Allen forbidding him from taking
further action on the case before the Supreme
Court hears 1t. 1t is hoped that on Monday
the court will decide TO 60 into the merits OF
the case and settle 1t once for all.
