CITIES RULE STREET cARs.
Important Dsclsion Rendered by san Fra,
~ cLnco Judge.

San Francisco, Oct 13.-Superlor
Judge Seawell to-day rendered an I'm
portant decision dIsmissing the appli-
cation Of the board of railroad commits
sIoners for writ of mandate to COM
pei the Market Street Railway Com
pany (S0uthern Pacific) to produce Its
books for examination.
The commission wished to fix n
schedule of street car fares, but Judge
Seawell holds that the term "railroad''
In statute does not refer TO street
railways, In the true meaning OF the
word. and that, although the commits
sion Is empowered to fix the rates for
carrying freight, the law does not i'm
ply the power to fix passenger rates,
and that any other Interpretation
would involve the carriers of passen-
gers and freight by coach and baggage
companies.
Judge Senwcll holds that only muni-
cipai authorities have the power to fix
the rates Of street car lines. The cnse
will be appealed TO the Supreme Court.

SURRENDER OF GUANTANAMO.

Monday pack trains with provisions

They have not yet been turned over but
they are nowhere in Gen. Garcia's vi
cinity. He is at Jiguany and reached
there without encountering any Span
iards. Gen. Shafter authorizes an alb

Garcia encountered a force of Span

them.

GOLD DEPOSITED.
The Associated New York Banks Give
Up $16,OOo,OOO to the United
states Subtreasury.

New York, July 25.-The receipts of
the local United States subtreasury
were swelled Saturday by deposits of
gold coin weighing 80 tons and valued
at about 100000. The depositors
were the associated banks of New
York, through the clearing house, and
these banks had during the other days
of the week paid in $1,000, 900 in gold to
the treasury, so that the total of such
deposits for the six days is $40, 900, 900.
All ne gold represented excess of de-
posts in banks by the government on
account of the $500, 100000 war loan,
against which government bonds
could not be deposited with the United
States treasury as security. Gold, in
the dearth of legal tender notes, was
found to be a convenient medium of
deposit.

RYE FOR PASTURE.
In Many Respects Its value Is Greater
Than That of Any other
Northwestern Crop.

Rye is one of the most valuable
plants that we are likely to have in
this northwestern country, and espe-
cially in sandy soils. But it has not
as yet been generally grown for such
use, and it does not matter very much
whether it is wanted for sheep, cattle,
swine or horses it is highly useful in
any case. There are but few sections
in all the northwest, says Prof. Shaw
in Farm, Stock and Home, where it
will not stand the rigors of the win
ter, and there is no kind of soil on
which it will fail to make more or
less growth, unless it is soil soaked
with water in the winter, or unduly
impregnated with alkai And after
the rye has served its purpose in pro-
yiding pasture there are but few To-
calities in which it cannot be followed
by another crop the same season.
When winter rye is sown for pasture,
it should always be as early as Sep
TENDER, and if it is to be pastured in
the autumn, it should be sown as early
as the 1st of August. But, it is evil
dent in dry seasons it may not germi-
nate thus early The difficulty may be
obviated sometimes by narrowing and
rolling the land alternately after it
has been plowed. Moisture will III this
way be brought to the surface. And
when the crop is pastured in the fall
it should not be eaten too bare to-
ward the approach of winter. When
thus eaten, and a hard winter follows,
the produce of the rye will be much
less the following season. And when
rye is sown so late that it enters the
winter in a weak condition, the results
the following spring will also be disap-
pointing. The growth will be much
more feeble than that of rye which
has gone into the winter in a strong
and vigorous condition. Because of
this late sowing many who have sown
rye have been led to under-value it as
a pasture. 1t may be sown in with
corn at the last cultivation, but the
plan that would make it follow small
grain is a grand one, for then the
blowing of the land buries an army of
weeds and thus greatly helps to clean
the land.

Arthur had delayed the matter until
the very last minute. Postmaster
General Gresham sent for Assistant
Secretary of State Adee and told him
that the commission should be made
out at once and requested him to call on
Judge Wiley and have him come to the
residence of the postmaster general
10 administer TO him the oath as secre-
tary of the treasury. Mr.. Adee went
to the residence of Judge Wiley, rang
the bell and waited long for a reply.
He rang the bell repeatedly and final
ly Judge Wiley, who was looking out
of the window and calling to him for
his name and a statement of the
object of his business, became
fidence man who was trying to secure
admission TO the house, and he tele-
phoned for a policeman.
In the meantime, poor Mr.. Adee,
who had heard nothing and seen moth
ing, kept on ringing the bell and was
surprised when he found himself in
the clutches of n guardian of the
peace. He vainly endeayored to eX-
plain to the policeman what he was
there for, and gave his name and his
high position, but the policeman would
not listen to him, nor give any Gre
dence to his statement. Finally, after
walking Mr.. Adce nearly half way to
the station house, the policeman con-
scented to go with him to the residence
of the postmaster general, and there
the assistant secretary of state was
identified in a satisfactory manner.
The policeman then accompanied him
to Judge Wiley's residence, rang the
bell, and stated the object of the visit.
and Judge Wiley Immediately dressed,
came downstairs and went with Mr..
Adee to the residence of Postmaster
General Gresham, and administered to
him the oath of Office as secretary OF
the treasury.
mfr. Adee begged Judge Wiley and
Secretary Gresham to keep the story
to Themselves, and they promised tc
do so. But promises of that kind can
never be kept. Each one of them con
fidentially told a few personal friends
of the ludicrous circumstance, and Ill
timately it became public property
Mr.. Adee has long since come to re-
gard it as a great practical joke and
sometimes tells the story himself"
