Astoria-The extension OF the Astoria

ALASKA NAY FIND FAULT.
Department Does for Bankers what
II would Not for Territory.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1.-THE
Postofice department, by issuing an
order today at the behest Of capitalists
and bankers of New York, eliminating
all weight restrictions on first class
mail matter addressed to foreign coun-
triee where domestic rates do not APP
ply, lays itself open to criticism of
discriminating against Alaska. Last
winter an effort was made to induce
the department to waive the weight
restrictions on first-class mail matter,
so that Alaska miners might ship their
gold to states by mail in packages
weighing more than four pounds. but
this privilege was denied. Shippers
represented through congressman that
they were now at the mercy of the
transportation companies, who we've
charging exhorbitant rates to bring
gold to the states, and they therefore
sought the privilege of shipping by
mail. The department then held it
could not amend it's regulation. Now,
however, it amends the regulation in
order that the banks may more conven-
iently ship their securities abroad.

TOMBSTONE WARRANTS
Petition for an Order for Their Fund.-
 ing in Supreme Court Yesterday.

The principal business before the su- preme court yesterday was a petition for a writ of mandamus by the Valley bank against Governor Brodie and the members of the territorial loan com mission. This has to do with the fund.- ing of the so-called Tombstone war rants. The bank is said to have no other interest in the matter than that of assignee of the warrants.
 The warrants were drawn in 1892. By the construction of a recently enacted law the form of the government of Tombstone was changed shortly before that. The officers of the government who were then out of office by reason of the operation of that law drew war rants in payment of their salaries for the period in which it was contended that they were not in cffice. These warrants aggregated $9,42O. They did not bear the city seal but for other reasons the city of Tombstone declin- ed to recognize them as valid.
 George Bravin. who had been one of the city officials began an action against the city fer the payment of the warrants issued on his account The case was carried through the courts of the territory and Bravin was defeated. That was regarded as a test case.
 Something more than a year ago ap- plication was made to the loan com mission for the funding of the warrants which with the interest amounted to about s15,0OO. The application was re- sisted by the city which claimed that the warrants were invalid The loan commission declined to pass upon this question and the application for fund ing was not considered. Then the pe tition for the writ of mandamus was made.
 Charles w. Bowman and H. L. Pick ett cn the part of the city of Tomb stone argued the case yesterday for the governor and the loan commission and Judge Street for the petitioner.
 Tn the case of Robert Pringle. appel lant vs. Frank M. King, appellee. from Gila county. George J. Stoleman ap- peared for the appellee.
 In the case of Ernest Hall, appellant, vs. the territory. respondent from Navajo county, argument was made by Attorney General Wells for the terri tory and ten days were allowed for the filing of reply to briefs. Ten days for the filing of briefs were allowed in the case of Charles De Leon, appellant. against the territory from Yavapai county.
 There was a motion for the admis- sion to practice cf J. F. Maran. com mittse on examination consisting of Judge Street. Attorney General Wells and eel. F. J. Edwards was appointed The committee will make 9 report to- day.
