The railroad eompany's main con-

by the general railroad act. On this
point the realtors brief reads:

house, 81 William street, Orange. early
today, John O'Haire. an aged weaver,
employed by a Cone street establish

MIR. Taylor has been misinformed and
that the fish dealers of Fulton Market
try to increase the supply instead of
causing it to be diminished and that
the statements regarding the price of
fish is all wrong. He also claims that
fish today, especially bluefish, is
cheaper than it was few years ago.
In an effort to prove this he asserts
that bluefish is now selling at 7 and
cents a pound while few years ago

The Hght OF the Evening star lot
what it considers the rights of the
people, has assumed national impor-

members of the House of Congress.
Congressman Taylor, of New York,
who knows whereof he speaks when
he stated to the secretary of agricul-
ture that tons of food fish had been
taken to sea and thrown overheard so
as to cause a shortage in the markets

the Lacvkawanna and Erie roads
were under their control the decision
was appealed. Counsel for the board
based his argument on the fact that
while the railroads in question did
sell tickets to Jersey City and fer
ried passengers to New York. the
Communication tickets Were good be-
tween intermediate stations and the
road therefore was an intrastate one
and not interstate.
This is the point. 1T is said. the Erie
is trying to evade in inserting the
new clause and which point, very
likely, will have TO be settled in the
courts.

Hence exists.
From north and south reports OF upris-
ings poured into the executive offices until
the Governor issued his statement. In
this proclamation the Governor asserted
the supreme power OF the Chief Executive
under the full force OF the Meyer de-
cision.
Following accounts of the fierce fighting
at Louisville the Governor ordered 100
men sent at once from Canon City, where
they went yesterday TO quell the Chandler
disturbance, to Boulder county. At the
same time Il hurry call was sent forth for
every a,uardsman In the northern counties
to rally to the State colors and resume
service
Col. Lee said that fear Of trouble at
Durango and Crested Butte prevented the
removal Of the troops stationed In the
western part Of Colorado. The possibility
~ further turbulence In Routt county mas
also prevented summoning any miliuamen
from that section.
In explanation OF his action Gov. Am
mons declared the proclamation applied to
the arming OF mine guards, as well as all
others, and that steps, Will be taken TO
lind out IL there have been any acts or
treason committed by those shipping arms
and ammunition and urging citizens To
form volunteer companies OF armed men.
What result the arrival Of Federal
troops will have is uncertain. Gov. Am
mons said tonight he would respect
the Presidents request and withdraw the
state militia as soon as the regular SOL
diers reach the scenes in the various
turbulent zones.
The Governor said tonight that In his
opinion not a shot will be fired when the
