judge Cox Denies the Knights* Application to Restrain Carlisle. Judge Cox of the District Supreme Court declined to grant the application of the Knights of Labor to compel Secretary Carlisle to show cause why he should not be enjoined from issuing 550,000,000 of bonds as proposed in his recent bond circular. Treasury officials received with unfeigned satisfaction the decision of Judge Cox dismissing tbe petition of tbe Knight? of Labor for an injunction against Secretary Carlisle to restrain him from issuing bonds. The claimants will appeal to the Court of Appeals and when that body decides against them to the United States Supreme Court. Secretary Carlisle declined to make for publication any statement of tbe. results of his trip to New York.

FIRED ON THE REBELS. American Admiral Jtenham Calls I)a Gama to Time with a Shell. Rio Janeiro advices say the insurgent war-ships have had a narrow escape from being blown out of the water by the American fleet under Admiral Benham. A complete backdown alone averted tbe annihilation of the rebel force in that harbor and the finding of the wholo Brazilian war. As it is, one of Da Gama’s gunboats has an American shell in Her stern post as a reminder that Admiral Benham “meant business” when he declared that be would protect American shipping. Admiral Da Gama opened fire upon the American warships in the harbor. Admiral Benham, the American commander, vigorously responded, and after a short, sharp engagement Da Gama surrendered.

NEW NAVY MUST WAIT. House Not Likely to Vote Money for Near Ships at This Session. There Is little probability that the House Naval Committee will report an appropriation for new ships at this session. The committee ha 9 had all the chiefs of the various bureaus before it except tho commandant of marines and the head of the r.aval observatory, examining them as to the amounts necessary for tbeir respective needs. When this examination shall have been finished the question of new ships will come up for consideration. At tho present time the leading member.? of the committee believe the House will not agree to any bill Increasing the naval establishment no matter what tbe appropriation may be, and for that reason it is unlikely that any such measure will be reported.

MITCHELL WELL-PAID. Tta Said He Made a Tidy by Beln ( Knocked Oat by Corbett. However much It may be argued tha “Charley” Mitchell, of England, is not ■ prizefighter, it certainly caanot be urgec that he is not a financier, 3he opinlor obtains among some of tbe sporting men. save a Jacksonville dispaicb. that, although physically knocked out, Mr. “Charley’s" pursestrings are considerably strained to accommodate die size ol his winnings by suffering that ignominy. By appearing in tbe ring he won 51.000 from Brady, tbe manager of Corbett, the California brute who hammered him into unconsciousness, and only he and bis eminently respected father-ih-law, “Pony” Moore, know how much more. The late Squire Abingdon put up the SIO,OOO original stake money to make the match, half of which wax withdrawn to be added to Mr. Mitchell's bank account. Then the Duval Club allowed him $5,000. The aggregate of the wiiy Brit'sh pugilist’s winnings from these three sources Is SIO,OOO, quite a tidy sum for being knocked out. The previous methods of Mr. “Charley” convey the Idea that he bet more money on Corbett than to did on himself, and if this thedty is correct ho probably made more (ban “Gentleman Jim.” his opponent. The hitter, aside from the betting. Is 525,000 better off than be was before tbe fight Rqw much better off Mr. Mitchell Is In a financial sense will never bo knowa, but be ftypbably wouldn't px.

The seriousness of the officials greatly frighten ed the young men. Doud became greatly excited with fear and finally escaped from the pest’uouse. In the bitter cold ho started for Bryan afoot. He was half crazed with fear, hunlor and exposure He wentjnto Robbins' saloon and offered to patfn a revolver bo had succeeded In getting at Ihe pesthou-e for whisky.

MR. HARTER IS DISGUSTED. Will Retire fitom Congress, Wearied of the Office-Broking Work. Representative Harler of Ohio, in making a last appeal to the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors for aq appropriation for the improvement of tho,Lorain harbor at the mouth of Black River, on Lake Erie, incidentally disclosed the fact that tills will be his last term as a memhei of the House. Tills arises partly from choice and partly from* necessity. A year ago or more Mr. Hunter told his people that ho would not be a candidate for re-election, and since then has changed bi 9 residence to Pblladolpii ja In order to be near his daughter. Speaking of the matter Mr. Harter said: “I expect to servo out the rest of my term In Congress, but shall then abandon political life. A Congressional career has many attractions, but more drawbacks. It does not suit me tobeniuetenths an office broker apd one-tenth a legislator.” >• , SIX MEN ARE DROWNED.

They ire now opposed by 30,0(KPassociated shippers'of the Unitod States, acting through the (,’hicago Freight Bureau and the National 'transportation Association. Both these onga'iizatlons always act in harmony with the railroads where possible. Their hioqi valuable work is done in quiet conference and argument. In the present fight the law will be appealed to immediately, and In every possible way the interests of the Eastern roads will be opposed until they yield to the demands of the shippers. The fight is because of the new official classification which the Eastern roads nj:ide effective Jan L The new classification provides that a uniform bill of lading shall be used by all roads It contains hot only the obnoxious provision regarding its non-negotiability, but ten other stipulations regarded as almost equally objectionable. The new bill of lading has printed across Its face, in large typo, the words- “Non-negotiable.” This destroys its commercial value and completely revolutionizes existing methods of doing business. As an illustration, it need only be said that of the 248,000,000 bushels of grain forwarded from Chicago last'year over 200,000,000 bushels were forwarded on bills of lading against which drafts were drawn and Immediately cashed by Chicago banka, the bills of lading being accepted as security. The new bills of lading eliminate the business of more than nine shippers out of ten.

Friday the Prince journeyed from Friedrichsruhe to Berlin at the Emperor’s invitation. The route from the monument to Frederick the Great to the palace gates wee lined with members of the veterans’ guilds, firemen, rifie unions, and turner societies.

Dr. Schweininger rode in a cab at the rfear of the procession. Wlien the party arrived at the castle Prince Bismarck and Prince Henry descended from the ’ stateneouch and entered. The Empegor; whp Was standing at the foot of the stairs to roepive his guest, wore as a special .mark qt ijonor the uniform of the Cuirassiers.

Brine? gravity of demeanor during tats, reception by bis Majesty was much commented upon.

Dun & Ca's Weekly Review cf Trade says: Secretary Carlisle’s decision to tesuo bonds, and the early reports of large bids for them, helped to accelerate the recovery of industries and trade as was hoped. The sale of the amount offered will check anxiety about the maintenance 6f note redemption, remove the ouly pretext for further Issues of paper, and thus give a solid basis for greater confidence regarding tho financial future, 'J be revenue Is still small, from customs reported thus far 810,805,501, against $19,935,635 last year, and from internal taxes $9,487,979, against 511,068,498, and the volume of domestic trade is still small. The increase in number of hands employed adds to tbe purchasing power of tho people, and dealers’ stocks are so reduced that any sign or larger consumption quickly gives mills more orders. In short, the conditions are such that if not Interrupted by adverse forces they would naturally bring a steady revival of business.
