filing a bill in the Nebraska circuit
court soon after the law was enacted.
, The object of the bill was to secure
an order restraining the state officials
from putting the law into force.
The law was attacked on the ground
of it's constitutionality. 1t was charged
that inasmuch as the act applied only
to state freights, it was chargeable
with a discrimination against them,
and therefore antagonistic to the spirit
Of the fourteenth amendment to he
constitution
They contended that the maximum
rate fixed was unrea sonable and ruin
Gus to the roads. 1t was also assert
ed that the act interfered with inter
state commerce. The state met these
allegations with arguments in support
of the validity of the law, and also
with the counter charge that the case
was one of which the federal courts
could not properly take jurisdiction.
The decision in the circuit court was
delivered by Justice Brewer, of the SUI
preme court, who sustained the con-
tention of the railroad companies, and
held against the validity of the law.
His opinion was based largely upon the
charge of unreasonableness. He made
a computation showing that the reduc-
ton effected in freight rates amount
ed on an average to 291s per cent,
which he held was too great a change.
The case has been twice argued in
the supreme court, Hon. w. ]. Bryan
appearing as one of the counsel for the
state at the last hearing. Much in
terest has been manifested in the de-
cision ever since the case was docketed,
because of the probable influence a re-
suit favorable to the law would have
upon legislation in other states.

KANSAS CITY'S TEAM.
Manager Manning Has ordered
Them to Report for Duty March a.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. March Three
weeks from yesterday the base ball season of
1898 will open in Kansas City at Exposition
park. The first game will be between the re-
organized revvifed and reincarnated Blues
and the Armour team of the city league
The players who arctic try to upheld the
reputation of Kansas City in the Western
league this year have been ordered to report
March "a and thus they will have three
days practice before their opening game.
The first game with regular league club
will not be played until some time in April,
when ii is expected to have, some OF the Ma
tional league teams here for exhibition.
Manager Manning, however, has not yet
made definite arrangements for these games
and the dates uncertain. The first game
of the Western league series will be played
here with Minneapolis on April q.
During the past week Manager Manning
has received the contracts of number of
this year. Those who have signed during
the week are Hansen, who was one of the
catchers of the st. Joseph Western asso-
citation team last year; Meeks, who played
first base for the Blues during a part of last
season; Runy VioX, who comes from ST. Jo-
seph to play third base; Frisbee, from the
Quincy Western association team; Howard,
new outielder, and the old favorite, Matt e.
McVicker.
Howard is a young player rom Kenney,
III. He has been playing in the local league
of professional clubs in that section, and is
said to be a good fielder and safe hitter.
inager Manning thinks SO well of him that
trial.
Two of the pitchers, Pardee and Meredith,
of last years st. Joseph team, have already
signed Slagle the center fielder, who was
secured from Grand Rapids. has not yet put
his name to a contract. but he and Manager
Manning have practically agreed upon the
terms, and there is no doubt but that he
will be seen with the club.
Neither Connaughton nor Merritt, the new
catcher who is expected, have been heard
from, but if they play ball at all this year.
1t will be in the uniform of the Kansas City
team.
Manager Manning is depending upon Man
ager Watkins, of Pittsburg, to furnish him
with number of frst-class men, but until
the Pirates have lined up on the field and
the men have been tested Watkins him
self does not know which ones he can give
to Manning.

MIKE LEONARD GAME.
He Lasted Twenty Rounds. Although
Repeatedly Knocked Down.

BUFFALO, n. Y, March Mike Leonard
gave an exhibition of remarkable gameness
In the arena of the Olympic Athletic club to-
night.
Harry Lemons, colored, of Niagara Falls,
knocked him out in the twentieth round of
one of the hardest fought bouts ever seen
In this city.
Leonard was knocked down twice in the
second round by right-arm swings the
Jaw. For the next six rounds he fought
well, but was very weak He knocked
down again in the tenth round. In the
eleventh he was all but out, but managed
10 weather it through.
He came up surprisingly strong, and went
after Lemons savagely, landing some heavy
blows, which visibly weakened the colored
man. In the fourteenth Leonard had Lem
mons grogsy, knocking him back against
The ropes with right on the jaw, but was
too weak to follow it up. In the seventeenth
Leonard was knocked down twice, the last
lime taking the limit to arise.
In the next two rounds Leonard forced
the fighting, and was cheered for his game
ness. They went at 1t fiercely in the last
round, Lemons finally getting in or the
.hn, knocking Leonard down and out.

OFF FOR HAVANA EARLY
THE MONTGOMERY WILL SAIL FOR
CUBA THIS MORNING
Naval Officers Puzzled by the WOb-
Dictated by the Orders Received
at Key West-NO Fear Felt on
Board the Selected Cruiser.

KEY WEST, March AT a late hour
tonight coaling on board the cruiser
Montgomery, under orders for Havana,
had been stopped, as the men were too
weary after packing tons of ammuni-
ton to perform this additional labor.
A high officer on board said: mo, we
don't mind going to Havana a bit. We
shall be off in the morning unless we
get countermanding order. These
changes have kept us on the jump, and
we hardly know where we are. With
provisions and ammunition aboard,
however, we are prepared to go any
where.
Il have not the remotest idea how
long we shall be in Havana. 1t seems
only in accordance with the naval de-
partment's policy that we are going.
The department wants the Fern to car
ry provisions to Cuba; the survey boat
Bache is being used to bring back the
bodies of the Maine victims and so,
with the court of inquiry at Havana, it
is absolutely necessary that some boats
should be at the disposal of the Ameri-
can officers there in addition to the
light house tender Mangrove."
The coal lighters are still alongside
the Montgomery at midnight and it is
presumed that coaling will be resumed
at daybreak. The. coal used for the
Montgomery was originally intended
for the New York.
Officers Puzzled.
Naval officers here had scarce
ly learned of Admiral Sicard's order
directing the departure of the cruisers
Nashville and Montgomery for Matan-
zas and Sagua la Grande with supplies
for the reconcentrados ere an order was
received resembling it.
telegram from Washington was fol
lowed by hurried conference between
Admiral Sicard and Commander Yves,
and shortly after 8 o'clock Admiral
Sicard countermanded an order issued
at noon, and directed that the Mont
gomery proceed as soon as possible to
Havana, and the Fern was again as
signed to the duty Of Carrying supplies
to MatanZas.
A naval officer. one of the few at the
time this dispatch is sent who are aware
of the latest change of plans, said that
he thought it most significant that
cruiser of the Montgomery calibre
should be sent to take the place of
mere dispatch boat.
The frequent changes In orders dur
ing the last twenty-four hours have
thrown all the naval arrangements and
opinions on the situation into more or
less disorder.
= A Mallory line steamer Is expected
Wednesday with provisions for Cuba.
This afternoon the torpedo boat Porter
arrived from Mobile. The torpedo boat
Gushing probably will have to be laid
up for repairs, and the Ericsson is in
none too good condition. A schooner
with coal for the fleet at the Tortugas
passed during the afternoon.
The Nashville will remain here The
runors that the Detroit and Marble
head will shortly join the f1eetat the
Tortugas is correct.

UNION OF SCANDINAVIA.
Consular Plans Submitted by the
Legislative Committees of Both
Sweden and NOrNay

STOCKHOLM, March THE Swed-
1sh and Norwegian committees on the
union of Scandinavia submitted their
reports to the parliaments today.
The Swedish committee recommends
common foreign minister, who may
be Swede or a Norwegian, but not a
member of parliament. He is to re-
side in Stockholm. The Swedish COM
mittee also proposes the creation of a
foreign council of state, to be composed
of ten Swedes and two Norwegians;
that the foreign minister be impeach-
able before the supreme court of the
United Kingdoms, and that finally,
the diplomatic and consular representa-
tives be common to both countries
A majority of the Norwegian COM
mittee recommends that each country
contribute towards the expenditure Of
the foreign ministry, in proportion to
the population of both countries, for
fifteen years, and that then each coun-
try be entitled to demand a dissolu-
ton of the consular union.
The minority of the Norwegian COM
mittee recommends a separate foreign
ministry and separate diplomatic and
consular representation.
