"THE civil service law was placed
on the book by the republican party
which has always sustained it, and
we renew our repeated declarations
that 1t shall be thoroughly and hon

Rather Important Decision Filed in
the RamaIey Case.
The court finds that the clerk of the
court exceeded his province when he
assessed the amount due to the de
PENDANTS as claimed under the findings
of fact in the hearing before a referee.
The action was brought by Sarah and
john Ramaley against Florence w.
Ranlaley and wife, Florence being the
son of the plaintiffs to revoke trust
deed under which the defendants had
for time managed the property of
the old people. The referee found that
the plaintiff was entitled to no relief,
and that the defendant was entitled to
judgment against the plainlff, and for
costs and disbursements.
Besides these findings the clerk of
court entered in the judgment de-
cree that there was owing defendant
Florence w Ramaley for money adj
yanced, the sum of $3,961.69 with in
terest to April l, 1895
The defendant appealed from the or
der of the clerk on the ground that ne
had no right to include in the judg-
ment anything more than the nnolhS
of the referee.
The appeal is allowed and the trial
court, directed to so modify the judg-
ment as to conform to the conclusion
of the referee.

Where cause is heard by a court or rel

has no authority to include anything IN the
judgment which is not authorized by such
conclusions and order even though the find
ings Of fact would have justified or required
different conclusions of law. Order reversed.

Isaac Baer, the clerk In Bernhardt's

tried in the police court; yesterday and
discharged Hoffman claimed that he

claimed that young Hoffman had him

dismissed.

charged by Judge Twohy yesterday,
upon motion of Assistant County At

unable to connect McAvoy with an Of

to have the prisoner held, made no
further showing for his detention, the

CONFIRMED BY M'KENNA.
Governments Claim Against Union
Pacific VIII He Paid.

WASHINGTON, Oct 27.-Attorney
General McKenna today fully confirm
ed the statement heretofore made as to
the recent offer of the reorganization
committee and it's acceptance by the
government, by which the full amount
of the governments claim against the
main line of the Union Pacific road,
principal and interest, is guaranteed.
This amount is something in excess Of
SIS. 600, 5000 and includes outstanding
government bonds issued in aid of the
road to the amount of $19,076,512 OF
this sum $15.919,512 becomes due on
Jan. 1, 1898, and SO, 157 900 on Jan. l, 1899.
Whether or not the reorganization
committees increased bid holds good
to proportional share as to the Kan
sas Pacific road is an open question.
The master in chancery fixed this
amount at approximately $5,000,000, and
the contention undoubtedly will be that
the guarantee offer as to this amount
holds good. This question, however, is
regarded as of little or no consequence,
as it is confidently expected that at
the Kansas Pacific sale, which no
doubt will take place on Dec. Is, the
reorganization committee will bid up
TO the full amount of the governments
claim and the first mortgage bonds.
Their interests, it is said, would compel
them to do this If by any chance,
however, the committees bid should
fall short of the full amount of the
governments claim, it is almost GER
tain that the government itself acting
under the authority conferred by the
act of 1887, will be prepared to bid in
the property. No such contingency,
however, it is stated, is at all likely to
arise, and the statement is made from
official sources that the net result of
the deal with the reorganization COM
mittee will undoubtedly be the realiza-

The court reverses the order in the
case of Flora Myers, as administrator
of the estate of Edward Myers, re-

a tort was committed, and where the wrong
is personal. the action is transitory and may
be brought in the jurisdiction where the
wrong-doer may be found.
Second-Where the wrong complained OF Is
one for which the right of action is purely
statutory, no presumption arises that such
statute is in force outside the state which
enacted it.
Third-The respective states of the Union
are foreign to each other so far as taking
judicial notice of what the statutory laws
of those states are.
Fourth-Foreign statutory laws are usually
regarded as matters of fact and because they
are so regarded, they must be pleaded as well
as proved, if they constitute the foundation
