TO SHOW CAUSE
Publication Sues for Second
Class Privileges.
A WRIT OF MANDAMUS ASKED
Publisher of Official Guide of RaiI-
why's, Etc, Files Petition in
District Supreme Court.

Mr.. W. F. Allen, of New York. the gen.
Publishing Company, yesterday filed pc
tition in the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict asking that a writ of mandamus be
| issued against Postmaster General Payne
to compel him to admit "The Official
Guide of the Railways and Steam Nav
igation Lines of the United States, Porto
Rico. Mexico. Canada, and Cuba" to the
| mails as second-class matter.
In the event that Mr.. Payne does not
do this the petitioner asks that he be
required to show cause why he will not.
Postmaster to show Cause.
Attorneys Nathaniel Wilson and Clar-
| ence r. Wilson, OF this city, and ]. F.
MCGOWAN, of New York. presented the
petition to Justice Bradley yesterday aft
ernoon in chambers, and ne issued an
order requiring the Postmaster General
to show cause on February next why
the writ should not be granted
For more than thirty years, Mr.. Allen
states, the publication referred to has
been carried by the mails as second
class matter. During all these years, while
the name of the guide has been changed
still the nature of the information con-
tained has not. Nevertheless, he says,
on November IS, 1901. by order of Post
master General Smith. he was notified
that after that date the periodical would
not any longer be carried as second class
matter, but if transported through the
mails would be rated as third class mat
ter.
No Authority to Review Predecessor
Whenever the name of the publication
was changed or a change made in its
place of publication, Mr.. Allen states, an
application for the continuance of its
transportation would be made to the
Postoffice Department. After several in
vestigations during the many years of its
publication, he said, no effort was made
to change 1t from one class of matter to
another. Under these circumstances he
contends that the present administration
of the POstoffice Department has no right
or authority to review the acts OF its
predecessors.
The change from second class to third
class matter makes great difference in
the matter of postage. AS secondclass
matter a copy of the guide goes through
the mails for about l-3 cents, or about
40 cents a year, while as third-class mat
ter it costs rs cents for a single copy, or
about s3.12 a year, making a difference
of s272 year for the sending of single
copy.

POSTMASTER WILLS
IS REAPPOINTED
President Condones Civil
Service Violation.
DEEMS THE OFFENCE. TECHNICAL

Postmaster Wills. of Nashville, Tenn,
against whom charges of violating the
civil service rules were made by the COM
mission, has been named by the President
to succeed himself. with the admonition
not to offend again.
The Civil Service Commission, after
thoroughly investigating the charges, re-
ported TO the President that there ap-
peared to have been at least two techni-
cal violations of the law on the part of
the postmaster. The first violation was
in the gift of $50 to another official to
be used for political purposes, and the
second in the collection from his own
subordinates, through the agency of an
other Government employe and the treas
urer of the campaign committee, OF SUI
ficient funds to reimburse himself.
Commissioner FOuIke's Report.
Civil Service Commissioner William d..
Foulke, in his report to the President on
the case, says!
"The contributions made in this case,
however, appear to have been made vol
untarily-not merely in name. but actu-
ally so. All the subordinates in their afti-
davits so state, and it is also stated that
one or two of them expressly asked the
postmaster to be allowed to contribute.
From the fact that there are some forty
employees in this office. and also the fact
that none but the above were expected to
contribute, and no solicitation was made
elsewhere, it would seem that no actual
coercion of any kind had been used.
Wills Frank Statement.
"The postmaster made us a very frank
statement of the entire transaction, and
appeared to think that he had not vio
lated the law. We told him that there
was undoubtedly a technical violation.
The absence of anything like coercion
would indicate, however. that this is not
one of the cases against which the law
was really aimed. The precedent. how
ever, might be bad one. 1t is for you to
say whether, under these circumstances,
the above mentioned facts ought to dis
qualify Mr.. Wills for reappointment."

THE KENTUCKY LAW VOID.
Supreme Court Declares Invalid
Regulation of Railway Charges.

The United States Supreme Court yes
terday held that the law Of Kentucky
fixing maximum charges by railroads
within that State is void so far as inter-
state commerce is concerned.
Justices Gray and Brewer dissonted,
holding that the fact that these rates
might not compare with other standards
of charges did not diminish the power
of the State TO fix those charges.
The case was that OF the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company against T. r.
Eubank C Co., and was appealed from
the decision of the Circuit Court of
Simpson County, KY. which upheld the
validity of the State law.
The Supreme Court directed the rcver-
sal of the decree of the lower court.

Lafayette stock Company Presents
s.QuO Nadis.o

Last night the Bellows stock company
opened the week with the acting version
of Quo Vadis" which was prepared by
jeanette L. Glider, and although the main
story is practically the same that Wash
ingtonians saw two years ago, and despite
the fact that the Glider version is said to
be the only dramatization of his story
authorized by Sienkiewicz, the play now
being presented at the Lafayette Theatre
presents many elements OF crudeness and
employs much unnecessary dialogue.
The production of a play like "Quo
Vadis" is a tremendous undertaking and
really more than one could expect to be
prepared in perfect detail within a week.
but the performance by the Bellows COM
pany last night was very creditable one.
The scenic inyestiture is above the aver
age to be expected in stock production,
the luxury of Nero's court and the burn
ing Of Rome being reproduced effectively
and coupled with the costumes and other
accessories of the production, formed a
series of pictures accurate in detail ac-
cording to the time and its environments.

FREE APPEAL FOR ROSS.
Case Is That of Californian Sen
fenced to Death.

The Supreme Court yesterday took ac-

two of them for hearing on March 3, and
in the third, that of Bert Ross, sentenced
to death in California for murder, per-
mitting counsel, because of the poverty
of the prisoner, to prosecute an appeal
without the payment for fees or costs.
One of the cases advanced was that OF
George B. Dohbs and Emelia New, con-
victed of numbering the husband of the
latter in Greenwood County, Kansas, in
1897. The principal ground for the ap-
peal is the alleged duplicity of the law
yer who defended Mrs. New and Dobbs.
the confession of a convict now in the
Kansas penitentiary that he killed New,
and the discovery of additional evidence
tending to show the innocence of the ap-
pellantS.

Mr.. James Considine, convicted and
sentenced for burglary on the postoffice
at Granville. Ohio, October Is, 1896, will
not succeed in overcoming the embarrass-
ments of his position by showing that.
while his trial was governed by statute
regulating misdemeanors, he was, in fact,
guilty of felony in the premises.
On the trial his counsel was limited to
three peremptory challenges while. if he
had been charged with a felony he would
have had ten.
The lower courts ruled against his con-
tention. and yesterday the Supreme Court
denied his application for writ Of GER
