APPEAL TO CIRCUIT COURT.
California Banks Against the Trea'
sury Department.


aAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.-United
States Circuit Judge McKenna has
granted the California bank an appeal
to the circuit court of appeals in the
case of the bank against the treasury
department of the United States. IN
1887 the California bank, acting for the
Oregon & Pacific railroad, imported
5.673 tons of steel 'I1' rails. Under the
Morrison tariff, which was then in op-
Grafton, the duty on these rails was
SIT q ton.
The rails were placed in bonded
warehouse and, owing to financial diff
ficulties, they were not used by the
railroad. They remained there for sew
eral years, when the California bank
attempted to remove them and to pay
only that duty which was prescribed
by the tariff then in operation. The
Morrison tariff had been repealed and
the Mckinley tariff was in force. I'm
der this tariff the duty was $13.44 a
ton. The California bank insisted on
paying that tariff and no more. The
matter was taken before the general
board of appraisers at New York and
it was decided that the California bank
would have to pay the Morrison tariff
rate.
The bank refused to do this and car
ried the affair into the circuit court
Judge McKenna there sustained the
general board of appraisers, and now
the California bank has been granted
an appeal to the higher tribunal. 1t
claims that Judge McKenna, in sus-
tanning the appraisers, is attempting
to enforce the provisions of a. tariff
Which has been repealed.

FOR AN OUTSIDE MARKET.
SANTA Fee Makes Wheat Rates to Find
an Outside Market.

SANTA Fee Makes Wheat Rates to Find
an Outside Market.
With the price of wheat at low ebb.
and no home market at that, the far
mers have been handicapped largely
altogether.
The Santa Fe has now put in a rate
in conjunction with the Union Pacific
via Denver, from all stations in Ufah
north of ogden, and all stations in
Idaho and Montana south of Silver
Bow, to all principal milling points in
Texas, of so cents per hundred pounds
On such rate the minimum car load
weights will be 10000 instead of $4,000
pounds, it being long haul on a
low rate.
1t develops that Texas milling men
want wheat, and they want Utah,
Idaho and Montana product in pre-
ference to any other, as they are ia
miliar with the hardness and sound
ness of the wheat raised in this re-
gion, they having bought of us extern
sively last season. Right now is the
time for the roads to make concessions,
as our farmers must depend upon out
side markets if they will get rid of their
surplus grain.

Within the range of pumping and
air COMPRISING machinery there has
been no invention of recent years that
has met with the favor accorded to the
Riedler system. Since its introduce
ton less than three years ago it has
steaily won its way until at the pres
ent time it is given the preference over
all other designs by those desiring to
pump water or compressed air by the
most economical and efficient system.
MeSsrS. Frazer & Chalmers, who are
the builders of these engines, are now
constructing six pumping engines and
four air compressors, all of very large
capacities.
A convincing proof of the efficiency
Of the Riedler system is shown by the
fact that in every case where a, Red
Ter pump or compressor has been in
stalled in a district, orders for similar
engines have followed from those who
have had opportunity to observe the
work done by the pioneer plant Since
the first Riedler pump was built in
Butte, Mont, the Butte & Boston COM
pany has adopted the system, and the
manufacturers now report an order for
a large Riedler pumping plant, having
a capacity for 500 gallons per minute,
against a head of 1000 feet, to be in
stalled in one of the Anaconda prop
critics at Butte.

BALANCE OF POWER.
Probably Held by the California
Delegates.


NEW YORK, Dec. "a local paper
says: General James S. Clarkson, the
national Republican committeeman
from Iowa, returned from Washington
last night and was at the Fifth Ave-
nue. hotel. A colleague. the Republic
can national committeeman from Ohio,
w. H. Hahn, was also on hand, and
the meeting of the national Republican
committee in Washington on December
10 and the possible results as to the
selection of time and place were dis
cussed
1t turns out that San Francisco is to
make a very sturdy fight for the con-
vention. which will be held about June
10. The Golden Gate city has already
from fifteen to twenty votes out of the
fifty-two members of the committee,
and it was said last night that Cali
fornia could hold these votes and
eventually, even if it lost the fight,
designate the city where the cOnven-
ton will be held. San Francisco gave
way in 1892, and by the votes of Cali
fornia and the far western states,
euchered Chicago and Cincinnati and
gave the convention to Minneapolis.
California and the far western states
occupy a similar power today. and
this will be demonstrated, it was said,
III Tie IHGtllIlS Ol Iue HdlIOIldl
tee. Only four cities are putting up al
fight for the convention, namely, Pitts
burg, Chicago, st. Louis and San Fran
cisco. The Golden Gate city clearly
has the balance of power in determine
ing the result.
General Clarkson said last night that
there was no mistake about this. He
added that the scene was shifting ev-
cry day and that nobody could tell the
c.,
had a. good show for the conventions
but even its warmest friends admit
that there are only twelve telegraph
wires over the mountains and that the
newspapers east of the Missouri river
would be greatly embarrassed in re-
ceiving reports from the convention. In
Minneapolis, in 1892, there were severn
ty-two wires. and it was facetiOusly re-
marked last night that some of the re-
ports of the newspaper correspondents
then on the field are coming in yet
Pittsburg has a friend in Senator
Quay. He said last night to d re-
porter:
81 have subscribed $500 to secure
the convention for Pittsburg but if
you want me to tell you the exact
truth, 1 cannot but say that [ do not
/ believe that Pittsburg can handle the
convention. We had the reunion of
the G.. A. r. veterans in our city and
it was necessary to throw open the
schools and the churches for sleeping
accomm odations.
This could be done for a non-parti-
san organization like the G. A. r., but
it could not be done for national con-
vention, and where the delegates and
their friends would sleep 1 am at a
loss to tell
With California and the delegates
from the far western states having so
many votes pledged for San Francisco,
it looks very much as if the national
Republican committee would eventu-
ally decide on st. Louis or Chicago or
some city not even now whispered.

PULLING BARD.
CHICAGO sHEKELs ARE POURING
IN RAPIDLY.
But Little Doubt That the REQUESTS
One Hundred Thousand Dollars
Will Be Readily Raised.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Thirty-four thous-
and dollars of the necessary 100000
has been subscribed to the guarantee
fund for securing the Republican ma.
tional convention for Chicago Yes
terday was the day upon which the
various soliciting companies appointed
by the general committees were to
meet and make their report. Less than
one-third of the various interests
among which the work of solicitation
was apportioned were prepared to re-
port to the general committee. The
meeting was secret. Those who were
present represented the hustlerS, and
when the subscriptions secured were
added up they amounted to something
over $4,000. This, said Chairman
Pearce last night, was a more salts
factory showing than the COMMITTEES
had expected, in view of the fact that
the subscription books were only sent
out last Monday. and he expressed no
fear over the rest of the 100000.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Chicago men in
terested in bringing the Republican ma
tional convention to this city next year
are in the dumps today. The report
of the committees appointed to canvass
for guaranty fund did not meet the
expectations of the movers in the en-
terprise and it is generally believed
that Chicago's prospects for securing
the event are by no means so roseate
as they seemed before the attempt was
made to raise the 100000 required.
According to figures submitted to
the local committee only $4,000 has
been subscribed as the result of work
among the railroads, hotels, restau-
rants and other classes of business
from which the best returns were ex-
pected.
Next Tuesday the Republican nation
al committee meets at Washington to
choose the place of the convention and
before then over $4,000 more must be
obtained to put Chicago in the race.

MERCUR NEWS.
Dorsey VIII Not Use a DriII-Other
News of the Camp.

Hon. G. W. Z. Dorsey returned yes
terday from a trip to Mercur and says
he has decided to not make use of
diamond drill for prospecting in that
country, as he thinks the nature of
the ground would prevent its being a
success. Mr.. Dorsey reports that mat
tiers in that thriving camp are in good
condition ard everything is looking
well
Y new discovery has been made in
the mouth of Eldorado canyon, south
west of Mercur, and that is the finding
of a spot where the vein dips to the
west Hitherto nearly ali, if not quite
all, finds have been made where the
din vas the other way and this new
60 may lead to another upsetting OF
iN9,ries as to the manner in which
the upheavals there occurred.
Work on the Sunshine is progressing
and the mine is LOOKING well.
The ore from the recell' discovery in
the Red Cloud looks well, although
yesterday no returns could be obtained
by the mining reporter of this paper.
On the Rover group the second or
lower vein has been encountered and
shows up nicely. There have been no
assays as yet, but indications point
toward a good find.
The payrolls for the Mercur mine are
being prepared and the men will be
paid off within the next few days.

Sam JOAQUIN Valley Railroad.

The San Joaquin Valley railroad mas
taken it's place among the common
carriers Of the country.
On last Sunday the first car of
freight was shipped out over it, con-
sisting of beans for Kansas City, and
it went out over the southern route,
instead of coming through our Ogden
gateway. There is twenty-five miles
of the road completed-all that portion
between Stockton and Stanislaus
river.
In a. few days a fourth call on the
stock will be issued to subscribers.
With all the work so far accomplished
only 80 per cent of the total subscrip-
ton has been called In.
The extra 10 per cent constituting
the fourth call will carry the road al
most to Fresno. With the so per cent
already paid in a great deal has been
done. The whole route from Stockton
to Bakersfield has been located final
ly with the exception of gap in the
vicinity of Visalia and Hanford, and
maps of the engineers lines are now
complete in the Office.

SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS.
They Will Hardly Try to Bring
About Congressional Action on
the State Constitutions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. although
there was talk before congress met
that southern Republicans might try
to bring about congressional action on
the state constitutions of South Caro-
lima and Mississippi, which, they claim,
are designed to disenfranchise their
party, there does not seem to be much
likelihood that any effective step in
that direction will be taken. Some of
the new members have talked with the
house veterans on the subject, and
have become convinced that there ig
nothing this congress can do, and that
the only practical measure would be
to bring the questions involved into the
supreme court. In the next congress,
if there be a Republican house, the
status will be different. Already there
is talk among southern Republicans
that members who bring credentials
from South Carolina to the congress
may be refused their seats on the
ground that the state has not the re-
publican form Of government guaran-
teed by the constitution.
Mr.. Murray of South Carolina, who
was the only colored member of the
last congress. is back as a contestant
for his old seat, the certificate to which
is held by a Democrat. He claims to
have been counted out, and says he
has not the slightest doubt that he Will
be seated. The Republicans of the
state, he says, Notwithstanding their
recent rebuff in the supreme court, sre
preparing to bring the question of the
validity of the new constitution before
the new court in a form which, they
think, will require a division on the
main issues at stake.
General opinion among the house
Republicans appears to be that this
congress will be conservative in I'M
seating the thirty-two members whose
seats are contested. The Republican
majority is so large that there is no
need to strain a point in unseating any.

w. 4. Graves, the well-known mining
man, has just returned from trip to
Lincoln county, New, where he has
some interests. In looking over that
section of the country Mr.. Graves says
ne discovered that the April Fool mine
is a wonder. He is not prepared to
state just what may. be expected of
the property further than this. 1t is
understood the new mill is contracted
for and that the work of erecting the
Same will begin in a short time. Work
@Erthe pipe line from near the Meadow
Macy wash is progressing and the
pipe is going in at a rapid rate.
Mr.. Graves has two properties in
Lincoln county, on which he has re-
ceived proposals from the De Lamar
interest. One is at Eldorado and the
other at the southern end Of the coun-
ty. Both are gold properties and are
showing up well, some of the assays
being exceptionally good. He does not
know whether he viii return right
soon or not.

Special Rates Put In.

The Rio Grande WESTERN and Union
Pacific both announce the following
special rates:
For the State Wool Growers asso-
citation convention, to be held here the
18th inst, a fare of one and one-fifth
will govern, and @. A. Benton will act
as joint agent for both roads.
For the state teachers convention to
be held at Ogden December 26 to 2S,
the same rates will apply, on what is
known as the certificate plan, i. e., fifty
or more in attendance. The roads do
not feel inclined to change their tariff
save on such minimum basis, nor could
it be reasonably expected. Tickets may
be purchased five days prior to meet
ings, the return good for three days
afterward. Full fare will be paid go
ing, and the reduction made on the re-
turning portion of the tickets. c. A.
Henry, at Ogden will act as joint
agent for both roads.

CANCELLED STAMP STEAL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-William
Washington, a, negro, has been arrested
for completely in the treasury cancel
led stamp steal and made a, confession,
which shows that the thefts have gone
on for months. The stamps, he says,
were not taken from the documents at
the treasury building, but papers We're
taken away in small quantities to diff
ferent houses where girls were employ
ed at from 40 to 80 cents a day, re-
moving such stamps and signatures as
seemed valuable, and then burned the
papers. 1t is estimated that Washing
ton and Edwards, arrested some days
ago, obtained from the file from the
treasury about $4,000 old papers and
destroyed considerable number after
removing the stamps. About 1900
stamps have been recovered by the de-
Dartment

switching that has so long been wrung

OF course, when the Burlington has
yards of their own, that road can
make a nominal charge. if there should
continue to be any, for sending the
cars over to the Union stock yards.
Again, at the new yards there would
be any number of commission firms
doing business, banking facilities, and
all that go to contribute greatness to
a stock centre so conducted.
Such brilliant scheme will be hail
ed with joy by stockmen generally,
and may in time mean greatly de-
creased revenues for the old monopoly,
if not practical disruption. as the other
big roads may stand in" on the new
stock centre.

DALTON SHIPMENT.

Will Not BE Made Soon on Account

President Druehl of the Dalton said
yesterday that the proposed ship

mine, mention of which has been made
in these columns, would not be made
for time Tie snow is very bad
there, there being some fifteen feet of
it and although they have thirty sacks
of good ore all ready it has been deem
ed advisable to await a more favorable
opportunity before sending it in. Mr..
Druehl declares they have a true
f1ssure vein and says the Dalton will
be a good property at some time in
tie no very distant future. The vein
has been cut in the tunnel and shows
up well.
