New York, Aug. 12.-Specuiation at

was weak, owing to the feeble response
made by London to the rise here late yes

bought on the belief that a rally III the mar
ket was overdue, took alarm at tins time
and their very moderate sales brorgtt
about a decline of 1-4a2 per ocHf, in which
Manhattan was most conspicuous. The
stock sold down to IT, against 40 last
night on unofficial statements that the
earnings for July showed a decrease of
S56 ,0o0 as compared with the correspond
ing month last year.

RAILWAYS WERE BEATEN
Decision Of q. S. Court in Favor Of
the Government.
Has the Right to Fix Rate OF Trans-
pOrtation of Men and Mails ON
AL Roadk

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 12.-Judge Vel
born of the United States circuit court
yesterday handed down u decision OF great
moment. involving some new aud original
questions. touching the right of Congress
to regulate the rates ciaargeabae By the
railroads OF the country IN their conduct
of Interstate commerce business.
1t is probable the most important de-
cision ever rendered affecting the rights
and privileges OF railroad corporations il
this country. The amount involved is as
large as that OF the income tax and the
principles laid down by the court are as
inIportaDti in New York and Massachusetts
as in California.
The issues settled by this decision are
those arising between the governm ent
Of the United States and land grant rail-
roads as 10 the rate OF compensation that
the roads should receive from the cove rn-
Inent for transportation of troops, mails
and other effects. The roads claimed the y
had a right TO charge the government the
same rates as individual shippers or trav-
elers, while Congress has frequently pro-
vided that the compensation should not
exceed half OF The regular rate, the exact
figures 10 be fixed by the Secretary of War
Under these acts OF Congress only Eaif
rates have been paid by the government,
and the roads, desiring TO have the nut-
ter settled for all time, brought a test
case under the Court OF Claims act, the
Atlantic and Pacific Road being the
plaintiff, to recover fun fare for the
transportation of a trooper, one Philip
Barrett, from Albuquerque, n NJ, 10 Pres
ri lief p
miles. The regular fare for the trip is
$3.50; the government Offered S13.G3.
The railroad refused TO accept that sum.
and brought suit for the full amount
The decision OF Judge Welborn is a com.
plete victory for the government.
The Importance OF this decision may
be understood when it is stated that the
Atlantic and Pacific alone would receive
$3.50 .00ea year more for the transportat ion
OF troops. and that when the charge for
carrying the mails Is added, the difference
on this one road in favor of the govern
ment reaches 81, 500 600 annually.
As the land grant reads Include one
half the mileage CT the failrodas of the
| country the amount involved aggreg gates
from $40 900 600 to S50, ,00o ,0j0O year
Besides the Santa Fe and Southern Paciric
systems, there are the Northern Pacific,
the Texas and Kansas roads, the Rock
Island and the numerous roads in Missouri,
Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska
The decision. however, Is not applicable
to the land grants alone. but applies To all
The railroads in the country, and is not con-
fined to government business, but involves
the right OF Congress to fix the compensa-
tiOn for all charges by the railroads for
Interstate comm erce.
The railway attorneys say the case will
| not be appealed.

uNcLEsAM LOSING WEALTH.
Rich AiaskanGold Placer Mines Trans

Rich AlaskanG old Placer Mines Trans
ferred to Canada.
Port Townsend, WASH, Aug. 12.-The
richest gold placer mines or Alnska have
been transferred to Canadian territory, and
mihersare now paying miners tax to British
authorities. The territory in question is
from two TO eight miles in width, and EN-.
braces the rich placer claims on Glacier
and Miller Creeks, which heretofore were
supposed TO be in Alaska territory.
The statements were made yesterday by
Capt. William Moore, Canadian mail car
rier between Victoria and Fort Cuciaby.
n. ". T. he has just returned from taking
the first mail to the Yukon mines on
British territory. Errors in the old sur
yey We're discovered late last autumn.
and during the winter Prof O'Gilbee, who
now has charge of corps OF British
engineers engaged in locating the bound.
ary between the two countries, made the
corrections, transferring strip of terri
tory from three to seven miles wide from
Alaska to Canada
Over 20o miners were affected. These
the Canadian mounted police Immediately
compelled to pay miners taxes. Moore
says there can be no doubt as to the correct
ness OF the new survey. All OF Miller and
Glacier Greeks and parts of several other
streams rich in gold digging are now
ciaimed by the British authorities
II appears the miners concluded that the
United States government did not care
enough for the territory to establish gov
ernlDent fort, inasmnch as Prof. o'Gilbee
saspermitted to locates such boundary lines
as he chose without the assistance or pres
ence Of American Officials, and no efforts
were made to preveut the police from en-
forcing their regulations over that portion
Of Alaska Territory, o'Giibee sending his
field notes and observations to Ottawa in
charge of his son. He told Moore lie wanld
remain at Fort Cudahy until the arrival OF
American surveyors and check his work
