SHIPPERS BEAT A RAILROAD.
Tho Famous HanIey Falls "Y" Case
Decided Mt Last at st.
Paul, Mimi.

One of the hardest and longest fought
railroad cases, the famous Hanley Falls
"Y'' case, was decided by the supreme
court at ST. Paul, Mimi, the other day
in favor of the state, and affirming the
Judgment of the lower court in the APP
peal of the Wisconsin, Minnesota & Pa
cifio Railroad company from an order
requiring that 'sY" should be con-
structed for transferring cars from tho
line of this road to the Wilmar g. Sioux
Falls branch of the Great Northern.
This question has been fought in one
form or another for the past ten years.
Finally, in 1895, Representative Jacob
son secured the passage of law re-
curing railroad companies to connect
intersecting lines by switches and "Y's"
ond to transfer cars from one line to the
other without cost, that shipments
might be sent to heir destination by
the shortest route. The law also pro-
vided that the charge for transporta-
ton between the two points which
could be reached by intersecting lines
should be not more than the regular
rate for the shortest route by which the
shipment could be made.
The railroads fought an order of the
railroad and warehouse commission or
dering that the "Y' be put in at Hanley
Falls, first before the commission itself
and then in the courts Probably the
attempt of the shippers of wood and
live stock in the western part of the
state, who are responsible for the move
ment which resulted in this law, have in
their fight for tlle establishment of this

arrived yesterday and discharged her
troops
Capt Sigsbee reports that on Wednes-
day afternoon while off San Juan, Puerto
Rico. he was attacked by a Spanish I'M
protected cruiser anu the spanish torpedo

times, killing one officer and two men and
wounding several others. The Terror
dropped back under cover of the fortihca-

Manila Grave.

Madrid, June 29.-The Spanish OFF,
cials here assert that there will be no
difficulty in Admiral Camara trayersing
the Suez canal, as the accompanying
transports, they add, have all the coal
the squadron requires. 1t is believed
here that the Spanish ships will enter
the canal Tuesday.
The Spanish government does not
credit the report that an American
squadron is to visit Spanish waters, but
the ministers say they have taken all
possible precautions, that the ports are
all ready and that 10000 men who have
been called to the colors will be dis
tributed among the principal Atlantic
and Mediterranean ports Of Spain.

Madrid, June 29.-Aguinaldo, the in

Blockade of San Juan.
The blockade of San Juan also pro-
claimed is in reality already In effect,
having been initiated by Capt. Sigsbee
last week when he turned back from
that port British steamer laden with
supplies. The difficulty of maintaining
a blockade at this port, In the face Of
the Spanish forts and three Spanish
war vessels in the harbor, would be
considerable had not Capt. Sigsbee by
disabling the only formidable one of
these vessels made the task easier.

In defeating the Terror, Capt. sigsbee

Of this craft has been very much over
