IMPORTANT DECISION.

me Asst. Attorney General of the United
states Decides That Any Train which
Carries Mail Cars IL Mail Train.
WASHINGTON, April 81, 1S94.-To the
Postmaster General-Sir: / have the
honor to acknowledge the receipt of
your communication Of today relating to
the stoppage Of passenger trains carry
ing the mails on the Great Northern
railroad. The statutes Of the United
States provide that every railroad COM
pany carrying tho mail shall carry upon
each train that shall run over it's route
all mailable matter directed to be carried
thereon with the person in charge Of the
same. The statute also makes it an of
Tense for any person to knowingly and
wilfully obstruct or retard the passage
of the mails. 1t has been decided by the
courts and in my opinion is clearly the
law that under theee provisions OF the
statutes it is an offenee for any person
knowingly and wilfully to obstruct or
retard the passage Of train carrying
the mail, and that it is no excuse that
such person is willing that the mail car
be detached and run separately. He is
bound to permit the mail to be carried
in the usual and ordinary way, such as
1t contemplated by the act Of congress
and directed by the postmaster general
1t would Seem from your statement that
that the persons who have entered into
the combination to which you refer have
brought themselves within the further
provisions Of the statutes of the United
States, which declare thatf two or more
persons conspire to commit an offense
against the United States. and one or
more Of such parties do any act to effect
the object Of the conspiracy, all parties
to the conspiracy shall be liable to
penalty OF not less than $1,000 and not
more than $4,000, and to imprisonment
not more than two years.

was very little fuse about the capture OF

tracked and most OF the COXeyites
sought slumber in their box cars. About
In o'clock they heard of the near ap-
proach of the troops, and about 200 Of
them who had laughed at the deputy
|marshals got scared and fled, scattering
lover the prairie in sll directions. Two
hundred and fifty remained aboard the
train and when called on to surrender
by Col Page did 80 without show OF re-
