President Jeffrey of the D. &
R. G. In the City-Bancroft and
Eccles Return-Railroad News.

Detroit, Mich. Feb. 5.-Judge Dono-
van. of the circuit court, today affirm
ed the issuance Of a mandate against
the Michigan Central railroad, in a
suit brought by Governor Pingree to
compel the railroad company to sell him
a 1.OOO-mile mileage book, good not only
for himself, but for any member of his
family. Judge Donovan reviewed the
railroads contention, viz: that under
its special charter the company was
granted the privilege of liking its own
rate of fares, which privilege, however,
was claimed by the state to be indefi-
mite, as the roads charter merely gave
the company power to fix rates by law,
and only reasonable rates could be
fixed, as under such power all rules
touching the welfare and duty of citi-
zens, their property. comfort and hap
pinesS can be regulated by law, this
being true of hackmen, millers, toll
roads, common carriers, liquor dealers,
and all others doing business publicly.
1T is also" said the court, claimed
for the state that the Michigan Central
secured control of the various branches
and reported TO the state vast holdings
with these roads, amounting, in fact, to
a consolidation with some six or eight
lesser lines. That these branch lines
were built by the Michigan Central, or
are held by stock or mortgages in var
ious ways by the company, is not clear
ly designated in the state reports"
Judge Donovan cited a recent New
Jersey case, in which it was held that
similar acts mean a consolidation, and
pointed OFT the fact that the federal
courts have held in a case from GeOr-
gia bearing on exclusive rights by char
ter, to charge fve-cent fare, that the
Legislature stin has power to govern
the rate. He also quoted from Chief
Justice Waite as having said that when
one devoted property to a public use,
he must be controlled by the public
laws.
Judge Donovan quotes several decis-
ions of the United States supreme court
under which the right to regulate fares
and charges was reserved to the states.
He concluded that the Michigan Central
is still under police power reserved to
the state. and that the company can
not fix rates by bylaws repugnant TO
the laws of the state.
THE company cannot even tender to
this state what is purchased in 1876.
and which the state could buy back in
1867. The holdings are so vast that
eventually either the company viii
control the state railway system, or
that function must remain in the state
In case o. doubt the state is entitled
to the doubt.

RELATIVES DISAGREE.
Miss Dickert's Suit Against Her
Brother Ferdinand.

The trial of the case of Clara Dickert
against Ferdinand Dickert was begun
yesterday before Judge NOrrell without
a jury. The plaintiff was represented
by Judge Powers and Mr.. Lippman, and
the defendant by Messrs. \. Howat and
Gus Kroeger.
1t was altered in the complaint that
on Aug. II. 1879, the plaintiff resided at
PopplesdOrf, Germany, and the defend
ant in Salt Lake City, and on that date
the defendant authorized the plaintiff
to purchase certain land in Peoples
dorf, from Thomas Dlckert, the father
OF the parties to this suit, and plaintiff
old so. The agreement was that the
purchase should be made in the name
and FOR the benefit of the defendant
upon certain conditions. The transfer
OF the LAID was made in October. 1879.
The property consisted of a piece OF
the elder Dickert's homestead. The
conditions of the transfer We're that
Ferdinand was TO pay the debts of his
father, among which was the sum of
5,400 marks, or 81, $50 in United States

the parties. Another condition was that
the defendant should pay his sister $500,
ana. suu another PROVIDED that Cara
Dickert should receive the rents of the
estate from and after the fathers death
and until she should marry or die.
On the llth of January. 1875, the
father, Thomas Dickert, died, and the
following July. plaintiff alleges, that
one DR.. Eich Of Germany was empow-
cred to collect the rents and turn them
over to her. The brother, it is alleged,
cOuntermanded the order given TO Dr.
Eich, and forbade him paying on his
account. or on account of the trust, any
money TO his sister.
1t is then stated that the aunt. Adele
klais, died on the LIST of July, 1880, be-
queathing to plaintiff the 5,400 marks
owed her by the defendant.
After the death of the father, plain
tiff says, she left her home in Germany
and came to America, acting on the adj
vice of the defendant. Being unfamiliar
with the English tongue, she relied i'm
plicitly upon her brother. Upon his re-
Deated promises to pay her what he
was owing her, plaintiff failed TO ,enew

of Germany. thus losing her mortgage

QUESTION OF NATURALIZATION.
Citizenship Refused Native of the
Hawaiian Islands.


An interesting point was raised in
Judge Hiles' court yesterday when H.
Kali Hoopuania, a native of the Ha-
waiian Islands, made application for
his final naturalization papers. The
question was, whether under the act of
congress, a native of Hawaii can be
received as a citizen of the United
States. 1t appeared that Hoopuania
took out his first papers in 1892, and
on the strength of that made a home
stead entry of certain lands in Tooele
county. and has been residing there
ever since. The application for natural
ization was refused, and Deputy Clerk
of the Court Blair. in looking up au-
thorities found q decision of the terri
torial supreme court in 1889 which held
that only Caucasians or members of
the white race and negroes might be
admitted to citizenship, and that as
Hawaiians do not belong to either of
those branches of the human family,
they were not eligible. This opinion
was by Chief Justice Zane, and was
concurred in by the other members of
the court, Justices Henderson, Judd and
Anderson.
The question arises as to what would
be the status of Hawaiians in this re-
gard in case the United States decides
to annex the islands,

Immediate Sale of the Kansas Pacific
Not Likely.

Washington. Feb. 5.-GOvernOr Hoad-
ley was in consultation with the at
torney general today upon the subject
of foreclosure against the Kansas Pa
cific railroad 1t has been decided by
the department of justice that the
government viii exercise the power
conferred upon the president by the
act of 1887. and redeem the claims OF
the first mortgage bOndhOlders upon
the eastern and middle divisions re-
Spectiveiy, and become Subrogated IN
der the law to their rights. This Will
make the government the owner Of
both the first and second liens upon
these divisions of the road. An appli-
cation viii be made to Judge Sanborn
at st. Louis next Saturday for leave to
redeem, for appointment of the sales
of the road, which are now advertised
to take place on Feb. 10, Il and Is, and
fer the appointment of a receiver in
the government suit to operate the
railroad for the benefit Of its liens.
The present receivers are operating the
road under the suit of the third mort
gage bondholders. commonly called the
consolidated mortgage. By this means
it is expected that the immediate sale
of the property will be deferred, and
that the government Will have more
opportunity to negotiate for a better
organization committee, which now
controls the first mortgages, and in the
meanwhile the benefits of the profitable
operation of the road, if ii continues
TO be perfectly managed, will, under
the receiver appointed in the govern
ment suit, be to the advantage of the
government by way of reduction of its
claims.
Notices of the application to be made
hEan
telegraph on the reorganization COM
mittee, and upon the counsel of the
respective underlying mortgages Am
pie authority Tor this action on the
part of the government is conferred by
the act of March 3, 1887. which pro-
vides that whenever in the opinion of
the president it shall be deemed neces-
sary to the protection of the govern
ment's interest in any of the bond
aided roads. the secretary of the treas
ury is required to redeem or otherwise
clear off the paramount lien or mort
gage by paying the sums lawfully due
out of the treasury.
The amount which will be necessary
to pay the first lien holders in this case
is something over SS,O00,00O the same
amount which the government would
have been compelled to pay them had
II acquired title under the pending sale.
The situation of the government is re-
garded by ATTORNEY General Griggs-
who advised the present course-and
other leading officials. as greatly i'm
proved thereby. and it is now expected
that Judge SanbOTn, under the circum-
stances, will willingly consent to a
pOstpOnement of the sale for an in
definite period. or at least to date
sufficiently remote to allow the governs
ment ample time in which to dispose
of its interests to the best advantage.

Der of factory branches owned and
