SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Case Sent Back to Missouri for
Further Proceedings.

Washington, Nov. IA decision
was rendered by the United States SUI
preme court in the case of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas e. Texas Railway Co.,
versus the board of railroad and ware
hause commissioners of the state of
Missouri. The case came to the SUI
preme court on writ of error from
the supreme court of the state OF
Missouri, and the decision of the low
er court was reversed. The opinion
was handed down by Justice Brewer.
The principal point at issue was on
the question of the removal of the
case to the federal courts. The case
involves the legality of the charge
made by the railroad company for
the passage of freight and passengers
over its bridge across the Missouri
river at Boonville, Mo. The state law
fixes the rate for carrying passengers
in Missouri at three cents per mile.
and it seems that the railroad COM
pany attached an extra charge of q
cents for their transportation across
the bridge, and that an extra charge
was also made for freight crossing
the bridge. The practice was attack.

on Wednesday, In Behalf OF His
Client, Rear-Admiral Schley, One
of the Most Dramatic Incidents of

session of the court and the judge
advocate did not have an opportunity
to begin his address until two o'clock.
He read from manuscript, but spoke
in clear and distinct tones.
Capt. Lemly,in opening, said: with
the conclusion of the very brief adj
gument in this inquiry, my principal
connection with it ceases, and the
matter is left in your capable hands.
1 may add that. while my duties here
have been arduous and necessarily
somewhat painful, L am proud to have

guished court, which is to pass upon
the most important questions ever
considered by naval court-a ques-

the applicant and the morale of the
service. In entering upon my duties
as judge advocate of the court, 1 had
in mind advice given me by the secre-
tary of the navy soon after my APP
pointment, as follows: Admiral
Schley asks for court of inquiry. A
perfectly impartial court is constjtut-

counsel assisting him are not (and
their duty in this respect is plain) in
court to prosecute anybody or to find
anybody guilty, but to bring out the
facts and aid the court in declaring
