CARSON. Nevada, Jan. 4.-The ques-
ton Of Jurisdiction in the Jones assault
case was decided 10 the District Court.
United States District Attorney Jones
some time ago assaulted Sam P. Davis,
editor Of the Morning Appeal. on the
steps Of the postoface in Carson. The
trouble arose over articles appearing in
the Appeal severely ~censuripg Jones for
90 alleged neglect Of duty. II was claim
ed that Jones used brass knuoklss and be
was indicted BY the Grand Jury for as
sault with . deadly weapon with intent
TO inAiot bodily injury. Jones contsndsd
that when the State decided the ground
on which the 6sht occurred 10 the Gov
sfnment it waived all jurisdiction. and
hence the ofsnss, il any wal committed,
was against the Government and must
be tried by the United States courts.
The local court. however, decided that
the State had Jurisdiction.
Jones pleaded not guilty and the case
was set for February Let. The question
Of jurisdiction will be appealed to the
Supreme Court Of Nevada or the United
States court. probably the latter.

DECREASE In POSTAL RECEIPTS.

The receipts Of the thirty largest post.
Offices in the United States for Novem-
Der last were Disappointing to the depart
ment. A large increase was expected in
consequence Of the Presidential election,
but instead the returns show . decrease.
The total receipts for November ct the
thirty largest Offices were $3.50, 5ll.
Only five Offices showed an increase.
These were Brooklyn and Rochester.
New York; Newark. New Jersey; Tole-
do, Ohio, and San Francisco, California.
At New York City there was . decrease
of $40. l39. and st Chicago $l2.597. At
Providence, Rhode Island. the decrease
was over Is per cent, and ct Cincinnati
the decrease was yer l2A per cent.
There were also large decreases at Bos-
ton. ct Philadelphia and at st. Louis.
The postal authorities were surprised,
and the only explanation they offer is
the natural H~uctuasion Of receipts and
expenditures. In October the CORES

THE SENATORIAL Fi6HT.

The Senatorial Eight continues to puz-
zle the people who interest themselves 10
matters political. The Appeal is not IN
the confidence Of either side Of the house,
and can throw no light on the numerous
INQUIRIES nor verify or deny any OF the
thousand and one theories floating about
Carson IN the subject. II il merely our
business to print the rumors. and let 'ns
public draw its OWE conclusions. IL 10
claimed that Nixon is put in the fight BY
parties who wish to pave the way to con-
test the claims for Office for ell candidates
who do not spend the bulk Of their time
io Nevada, and have the bulk OF their
property here also. That the claims OF
Stewart to the S~enatorship two years
from now are also aimed ct, and that the
struggle will be the most holly contested
ever fought in this State. That the pre-
liminariss have been in progress OF incu-
baton for some time. and that men are
behind Nixon with the sinews Of war,
whom the public little dream Of.
Meanwhile. the friends Of Senator Jones
claim that John P. will win hands down.
and il any one wishes to give battle, he
will give them the eight OF his life. The
Senator has never been charged with the
lack Of nerve or staying qualitiss in . po'
litical serimmsge, and Nixon 10 also cred
tied . fair share Of political sand.
The insinustion that Nixon 10 in the
6ght to bleed the Senator or assist any
ono else 10 doing 20. receives but little
crsdsnee. - be has an honorable record
and good reputation in Humboldt county,
where be has lived for many years. and
Humboldt will be 1t his back in the fight.

The steamer Kaala was run into
by the Lehua last night as the
vessels we're leaving their wharves
on their regular routes. The
Kasla had hardly got clear of the
wharf When the Lehua crashed
into her, cutting a hole in her
side near the stern. The Lehua
backed off and the Kaala made for
her wharf, where the pumps were
set going until she could be
keeled over sufficiently to stop the
water running in. Enough Of her
freight was removed to place her
out Of danger until this morning,
when she discharged the remain
der and went to the marine rail
way for repairs. The damage to
the vessel will probably exceed a
thousand dollars and it will be q
week before she can resume her
regular run. A Court of Inquiry
will be called to determine who
was to blame and assess the dam
ages.

Workmen digging the cellar
under the Criterion have dis
covered serious defect in the
foundation of the Mott-Smith
building. Less than three feet
underground the foundation was
found to be mixture of loose
coral rock and earth, all of which
tumbled out when the cellar was
opened upon it. The big brick
building was literally propped up
until Major McCarthy's men
could remove the conglomerate,
which had served rs foundation,
and plant something more sub
stantial in its place. The fault
was originally that OF the con
tractors who put up the first house
on the corner. AZ that was a
light wooden shell, however, the
foundation was probably satf =
cient.

Handsome Addition 90 tn. wilder Conn
pany's steamship Line.
The steamer Maui, launched on
November 27 at the Union Iron
Works, is a handsome addition to
the Wilder feet. She is built very
much on the lines of the Helene
but in many respects is big i'm
provement on that vessel. She is
175 feet in length, 30 feet beam,
IA feet 6 inches in depth and 700
tons net burden. Her engines are
of 450 horse power and she is ex-
pected to make ten knots an hour
with ease.
She was built in just sixty
days, but the haste in
her construction is accounted
for by a gentleman who visited
the yards by the fact that a much
larger vessel was being construct
ed on the ways behind her and it
was necessary to get her out of the
way Of the big vessel as soon as
possible The rapid work done
on the Maui, however, illustrates
the remarkable facilities of the
Union Iron Works for the con.
struction of vessels and gives an
idea OF what could be done in
case OF war. The works have
now 2900 men on their payroll,
the largest number ever employed
by San Francisco corporation.
