who had flooded Milwaukee avenue bust

added the voice, which named a meeting

Shortly afterward Dratzburg appeared al

Gustav Bayer and Henry Michaels. They
said they had grown tired of trying to

CHINESE NOBLE in CAPITAL
Tang ShaO vi Reaches Warrington
with Thanks of Nation for
RemIttinE Indemnity.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Bringing the
thanks of a grateful people for the remit
lance by the American government of a
large part Of the Boxer indemnity, Tang
Shao vi, president of the Chinese board,
and created a special ambassador for this
occasion, arrived in Washington today.
Accompanied by Prince Tsai Flu, a mem
her of the Chinese royal family, and a dis
tinguished group of attaches, the party
was accorded the high honor OF being met
by Huntington Wilson, third assistant Sec
rotary of state, numerous other officials
Of the State department and several aides
Of President Roosevelt. There were no
formalities at the station other than the
Exchange OF greetings. After that the party
was escored to two residences in an excel
lent section of the city, where the visitors
will be domiciled during their stay OF three
or four months.
Formal presentations of Assistant secre-
tary Wilson, who welcomed the visitors,
and of w. D. Straight and A. w. Pontius,
officials Of the State department, h
were in China in the consular service for a
number Of years, were then made. The
party was conducted to carriages and the
drive to the special residences was made.
The reception committee left the ambas-
sador and prince at their doors, no cere-
monies Of any character being desired by
the visitors until they were settled and
rested from their long journey.
The recent deaths of the dowager en-
press and the emperor was another reason
for the simplicity OF the greetings.
Considerable interest was displayed by
the order in which the visitors walked and
entered the carriages. Rank was observed
throughout. The carriages Travelled in strict
order Of rank, the last carriage carrying
several glft-bearers. The packages were
loaded into the rear carriages, guarded
with ostentatious watchfulness and were
the objects of a great deal Of speculation.

teaus Of oriental design contain presents

TWo-CENT FARE ORDER UPHELD
United states Supreme Court Re-
verses Decision Striking at
Reduction.

WASHINGTON, Nov. O.-The supreme
court OF the United States today reversed
the decision OF the United States circuit
court for the eastern district Of Virginia
holding to be unconstitutional the order
OF the State Railroad commission fixing a
2-cent passenger rate on state business, the
effect being to upheld the order.
The opinion of the court was announced
by Justice Holmes. The case came before
the court on an appeal of the state from
the decision of Judge Pritchard of the
United States court for the eastern dis
trict Of Virginia, holding the proceedings
by which the rate was fixed to be uncon-
stitutionaI and prohibiting the carrying
OF the order into effect.
TIL rate vas named by the commission
In accordance with authority bestowed by
the Virginia constitution, but the rail-
roads Of the state prayed for an injunc-
ton against its enforcement on the ground
that the present rates of the companies
are reasonable and not discriminatory
either as between individuals or localities.
1t was commended on behalf of the roads
that the effect of the rate proposed would
be to reduce charges below a reasonable
and just compensation; that, indeed, the
order was confiscatory and would have
the effect of taking their property with
out due process Of law. The state au-
thorities attacked the jurisdiction of the
court, claiming that the commission itself
was a court, as provided by the state
constitution, and that its DEGREES could
not be interfered with by a federal tri-
bunal.
After hearing the arguments in the case
Judge Pritchard on December 26, 1897.
issued a final decree, granting the prayer
OF the railroad companies and entoining
the enforcement of the commissions order
Of reduction. He held that the commits
slon's duties were administrative and not
judicial. This decision was overruled by
today's action. Justice Holmes in his
opinion said that the proceeding Of the
commission was judicial in character
and that the courts decision of reversal
was based on the failure OF the railroad
to exhaust their rights in the state courts.
Justice Brewer alone dissented from the
result.

the line which he will be compelled to
work and is highly endorsed by people in
Lincoln who Know him.
Mr.. Pierce, the new insurance Geputy,
who succeeds John l.. Pierce, belongs to
no fraternal insurance company and neither
does he carry old line Insurance. This fact
is important when taken into consideration
with the stories told about Mr.. Barton when
he was a candidate for auditor. to the
effect that he would be partial to the An
Client Order of United Workmen lodge to
the detriment of other insurance companies.
Mr.. Pierce has taken an active part in

taries of the Board of Health.
Candy Is Insistent.
Unless Jess Candy Of Custer county is
appointed deputy game warden there will
be something doing. That is the message
which a friend Of the Custer count demo-
crat brought to Lincoln today.
Candy spent $7Oo in the late campaign
and toured his county and the state for
three months in the interest of Mr.. Bryan"
This man said Candy told him his re-
ward was to be the appointment as one Of
the consuls to Mexico had Bryan been
elected. Now that Bryan was defeated Mr..
Candy very generously gave up all hope
of going to Mexico and expressed himself
as being willing and even anxious to ac-
cept the Job of deputy game warden.
Mr.. Candy was here when Governor
elect Shallenberger was laid up with a
broken left leg and he asked Mr.. Manual,
one of the maids In waiting, to locate him
close to the ~gubernatoriaI ear, but as Man
ual was busy getting close to that self
same ear, 1t is supposed the Custer county
man failed to connect, so he is reported
now making threats of what he will do
unless he is appointed.
