Judgment in Favor of the Central
TRANSFORMATION CGmnanY

Philadelphia, July 2.-In accordance with
the mandate Of the supreme court of tie
United States, Judge Butler, sitting in
the United States circuit court here has
made a decree directing Pullman's Pal
ace Car company to pay TO the Central
Transportation company 1897, 402-16, be-
ing the amount of S727. 1850, with inter
est from January l, 1885, to July !, 1898.
The case arose out Of a contract for the
lease Of cars and resulted in much lIti-
cation. The Pullman company defended
the bill in equity on the ground thai it
had no power under its charter to make
the contract in question.
Immediately after the handing down Of
the decree, A. II. Wintersteen, for the
Pullman company, paid to j. w. Bayard,
representing the transportation company,
the fun amount of the claim. The costs,
which are to be paid by the Pullman
company have not yet been ascertained.

The precedent for this action can be
found in the action of President Madi-
son, in the war Of 1912, when he issued
a proclamation declaring the existence
OF war in the absence of legislative dec
laratlon to that effect. All diplomatic
representatives of the United States
abroad were notified of the intention

supported by the people number not
less than $4,000. This is fair illus

erns its dependencies.

SMALL CALDER ARMS.

In presence of the terrors OF mod
ern ordnance and rapid-fire guns it is
not likely that a naval combat between
Spain and the United States will pro-
duce many duels at close quarters such
as have distinguished our naval annals
in the past. But if any such close en-
counters do take place they are likely
to develop some very interesting mill
Iary and surgical problems in connec
ton with the recent radical innOva-
ton of rifles with very small bores.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

Stocks and bonds still continue to
hold their own. England has been un-
loading American securities, but so
healthy is the demand for such hold
ings that no noticeable decline has
yet been recorded. If the war with
Spain should extend any great length
of time it is possible that the greater
part of British holdings will have
passed into American hands, thereby
reducing our foreign interest account
5000 100000 or thereabouts annually.
