rates and the concessions in such rates
now being sought by Middle Western
jobbers, chiefly grocery and hardware

For some time past strong efforts have
been made by these interests and sew
eral conferences with the railroads nave
been held to have the latter adopt a
system of graded rates. II these efforts
are successful Pacific coast rates, under
the plan proposed will always be
higher from New York to San Francisco

Eastern jobbing interests are naturally
working hard 10 prevent the establish

TO GO TO COURT OF CLAIMS.
Supreme Court Passes on the Old
wichita Reservation Case.

WASHINGTON, Dec 10.--The United
States supreme court today rendered an
opinion in the claim of the Wichita. Chloe
taw and Chickasaw Indians in connection
with the old Wichita reservation. Justice
Harlan handing down the opinion.
In 1851 the Indians made a treaty with
the United States government ceding the
Wichita reservation and agreeing to take
leo acres in severalty. The Indians
claimed that they were entitled TO the
proceeds of the sale OF the surplus land.
The court OF claims sustained the conten-
ton of the Indians. but today's decision
reverses that position, the supreme court
holding that In the treaty of 1861 the Choc-
taws had made an absolute cession OF the
lands included in the reservation. The
court also remanded the case 10 the court
Of claims, with directions to dismiss the
claims OF the Choctaws and ChlckAsaws
and 10 fix such compensation 10 the WIch-
itas as is consistent with the law
The reservation is a part OF the old
leased district OF 100000 acres lying be-
tween the Red river and the Canadian
river and the 9sth and Tooth degrees of
west longitude.

SUPPRESSION OF poLYGAMY.
Chairman Ray, of House Committee
on Judiciary. Makes Suggestions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lo.--In view OF
the movement for the suppression Of
polygamy and for uniform marriage and
divorce laws, Chairman Ray, of the house
committee on the judiciary, having
charge OF this Legislation, has written n
letter 20 those Interested in the move
ment. I'm which he says.
For many years | have favored an
amendment TO the constitution authoriz-
ing congress 10 enact uniform laws regu-
latng marriage and divorce which would
cover pulyEamy. An amendment to the
constitution merely prohibiting polygamy
would amount to but little. An amend
ment allowing congress to pass laws pun
ishing polygamy would apply to those
localities where nolygamy ~ practiced,
that Is, " would enable congress 20 pass
laws prohibiting and Furnishing pOlygamy
In Utah. and one or two other localities
where Il Is prActiced, and allow prOsecu-
tons IN the United States courts Every
state has full power TO prohibit and pun
ish polygamy and every state has anti
polygamy laws. Utah has such a law
