ST. Louis, oe;. i5.-Agents OF the Pa
cafe Express Company in the Indian ter
ritory nave beena instructed By l.. A. Full
Ter. the general superintendent, not TO
receive money TO forward. and TO discon-
tinue the sale of money orders. This
action is the result of the frequent depre-
dations made by bandits without interfer-
ence on the part of the authorities in the
Indian Territory. the United States gov
eminent and the local government Of the
Indian nation. Tho result is that.
although only short time has elapsed
since the closing OF the express offices, the
wheels of commerce have already been
clogged By the absence of money. and
complaints are beginning TO be heard.
Treasurer Il. f. Starr, Of tho Chsro-
kee nation, in letter written
IN answer TO one sent him by an official of
the Pacific Express Company deplores the
condition of affairs and adds: .In coun-
try like this, where two authorities are at
work in their respective Jurisdictions, and
each trying not to trespass upon the other,
il is hard TO tell who has. the United States
or the Cherokee nation, the right TO In
ferfere."

THE moNrKREY.s nIe GUNS.
Tested Together at PORT Augeles-snaII
Damage by Coneasxfon.


PoRr ANGELES, Oct 1.-THE United
States harbor defense monitor Monterey
has heen testing her big guns and secone-
airy battery during the past week in this
harbor. Targets have been placed at DIFF
ferent points in the bay, and on Saturday
Betsy and Alice, the two largest guns in
the United States navy, were fired simul-
taneously, their s2o pound projectiles strik-
ing close 10 target placed /. 300 yards from
the ship.
Upon striking the water near the targes
the shells glanced and bounded over the
waters Of the Straits for a distance esti-
mated At nine miles, atfording maguif-
cent spectacle 10 the crowds assem- bled
on the bluffs to witness the practice.
The hydraulic cushions against which
the big guns rebound and the fur~
rets in which they are enclosed
were uninjurcd by the great strain to
which they were subjected. but a number
OF doors and some of the light glass about
the ship were badly shattered by the shock.
Two heavy wooden boxes, which were on
the deck twenty-five feet from Betsy and
Alice, were crushed and splintefed by the
conclusion, yet the men In the turret were
not in the least affected during tho firing.
The twelve-inch guns wers each loaded
with 43o pounds of powder. and the roar
of the report which they made could be
heard for miles, while the whsstling sound
caused bv the projectils as 1T flew through
the air could be distinctly heard In all
parts OF the city. The big guns were each
fired four times. and unless they ara di-
rectsd at the vessels of an enemy they will
now remain silent for one year, as but four
shots are allowed 10 each gun during that
time
The officers are greatly pleased with the
results OF their target practice and they
are especially proud OF the evident
strength of the ship in withstanding the
shock caused by heavy firing.
Saturday and Monday nights the brill
liant searchlights were directed upon the
city and upon the vessels in the harbor,
and Monday afternoon the guns OF tho
secondary battery were trained aud fired
at a target while the ship was steaming up
and down the bay.
Capt. kempf speaks very highly OF the
Port Angeles harbor, he having first
visited II in 1859. and he says tha. had this
bay been made 10 order for target practice
il could not have been better, and il was
this fact that induced him 10 come hers.

delegations coming from half
dozen counties in this part of the

where the barbecue took place. During
his remarks voice interrupted Nr. Wilson
TO ask as 10 the truth of Republican re-
port that Mr.. Wilson had brought back
with him British gold TO aid him in free
trade campaign. To this Mr.. Wilson
replied:
81 went to England not for gold, but for
something infinitely more valuable TO me
than gold-hsalth. | thank God brought
back with ME no English gold, but re-
visit TO the mountains and valleys of

On the subject of his London dinner Mr..
Wilson said the fact had been eagerly dis
seminated by the Republican press, but
that press had ignored the fact that he
had dined three times in London with the
Irish leaders of the mouse of commons.

SHOT A POLICEMAN.

St. Paul Hobo Objects to Being Placed
Under Arrest.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 28.-Thanks to the
mans bad aim, Officer Gus Ryder is
still alive, but he has nasty bullet
wound in his leg. The man who did
the shooting was Joe Sherwood, an ILL.,
conditioned and cadaverous hobo.
The officer has been onto Sherwood
for some time past. He is a loafer
by profession and instinct. and a
beggar because he will not work.
Sherwood was plying his vocation, and
Ryder got after him, rounding him up
at $50 a. m. at Indiana avenue and
Starkey street. As the officer closed in
upon him, Sherwood whipped out a
45-calibre Colt revolver and blazed
away. The bullet tore it's way through
the feshy portion of the officers right
leg, but he held his prisoner until help
arrived, Sherwood was arraigned be.
fore Judge Twohy on charge Of as.

NEBRASKA RATE Law !.
Judge Bundy Renders a Decision
Making the Injunction Of Judge
Brewer Permanent.
IT rs UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
But at Some Future Time the State
Board May Apply For a Fur
ther Order.
IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL,

OMAHA, Nov. 23.-The decree of
Judge Bundy of the United States cir
cult court making perpetual the injunc.
ton against the Nebraska maximum
freight rate law, was rendered in con-
formity to the opinion handed down
two weeks ago by Judge Brewer of the
United States supreme court. The de.
cree declares 'that the law is repug-
nant to the constitution of the United
States, for as mach as by the provisions
OF the said act the said defendant
railroad company may not exact for the
transportation Of freight from one
point to another within. the state
charges which yield to the company
reasonable compensation for such serv-
lces." The decree also says that the
state board Of transportation "may
hereafter when circumstances have
changed so that the rates fixed in the
said act shall yield to the said company
a reasonable, compensation for the serv-
ices aforesaid, apply to this court by
supplemental bill or otherwise, as then
may be advised, for further order in
that behalf"
