Wfcila Often 8hip kj Barrels. Ttvitlmimvbroujrit Before the Commission What av Standard Oil Man Has to Say Drjiwn Rendered. W.sms November 21. The Interstate Coj&r-.erce Commission to day derided t'ja'caee of E. B. Raymond against the C'iiiT.go, Milwaukee and 8'. Faul Railway Conpany. The complaint was that the torn .any had e stablisbed rates on a branch line unreasonably hizb, and di verted business to towns on the main line. The answer of the company was that the branch lice rates were reasonable, but that it had been compelled by competition to irake rates two low on the main line. The Commission sustained the answer aa to the first defense, but not as to the second. In the case ot the Manufacturers and Jobbers' Union, of Markato, Minn., against the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway, an . agreement was reached between the partes alter the heaiing and before the opinion was announced, and the commission files its opinion treatise this as a settlement without promulgating its finding on the facts proved. The Inter State Commerce Commission, to-day, began the hearing of the complaints in the Standard Oil case. These are the ccrn plaints of George Rice, of Marietta. Ohio, against a number of railroads, alleging against some discrimination In favor of the Standard Oil Company against others violations of the Ion? and short haul provision, and against all unreasonable and uDjust rates. Fifty or sixty gentlemen are in attendance, lawyers and witnesses; and the proceedings are likely to contume several days. There are thirteen petitions In all, but only ' ten of the cases are being tried at this time. Messrs. J. Randolph Tucker, Roger B. Loom is and A. D. Follett appear for complainant. The railroads are represented as follows: 8. H. Noble and E. D. Baxter for the Louisville and Nashville; E L. Kessel for the Mobile and Ohio; Holmes Cummines for the Newport News and Mississippi Valley and the New Orleans, LouieTil fa and Texas; H. B. Money for the Mississippi and Tenues3ee and the Illinois Central; Edward Folston and Charles M. Cist for fhe Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific: John S. Blair and Thomas J. Eportia for the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern, and W. Baxter for the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia. The complaint aeainst the Louisvllle"and NahTil road was read in full and the points wherein it differed from the others was explained by Judge Loomis verbally. The reply of the Louisville and Nashville waa also read. A general denial is made of unreasonable charges and violation of the long and short provisions, and the alleged ölt crimination is explained upon the theory that the Standard Oil Company furnishes lta own tank cars, while the complainant an hps in barrels in thegcompany's cars, creating a substantial difference of circumstances and conditions. The case having thus been stated upon both sides, counsel for complainants began reading- depositions. In Ms deposition Virgil Powers, Commissioner of tbe Southern Railway and Steamship Association, in substance testified to tfce belief that the rate per hundred pourds should be the same, whether the oil ie carried in tanks or barrels. His furtrier testimony tended to show that tank cars recorded as of a given capacity in reality were muck larger. Fifty-one tank cara which had been weighed showed an aggregate capacity of 44,000 pounds more than tbe recorded capacity, upon which charges were based. H. R. Payne, of Cleveland, Ohio, assistant manager of the Union Tank Line, was sworn -and his examination consumed the afternoon session. It waa developed that he had been subpttnaed to bring certain books and papers showing the capacities of all the cara of his company, but acting under advice, he had not brought them, lie was prepared, however, to show by a statement gotten up by Mr. Page, of the standard Oil Company, of Kentucky, the capacities of all tbe cars operating south of the Ohio, which statement the witness had checked off and found correct. Counsel for complainant w&a indisposed to submit to this, but tbe matter was left in abeiance for tbe present. Witness testified that the Union Tank Line cars were owned by the Standard Oil Company, of Ohio. Could not testily whether the Union Tank Line waa a corporation or not, or whether it waa owned and operated entirely by the Standard Oil Company, of Ohio. Some railroads paid mileage on the tank cars and some did not. He waa not prepared to state definitely what lines did or did not, nor what circumstances influenced the matter. The Union Tank Line owned about three thousand cars. Tbe other tank car companies of the country owned over twentytwo hundred, including the Green Line, sthoee cara number over 1,100. K. 8.

Wicks Company, of Ualti-uiore. The prosecution attempts to show that he knew tbe con sera and his own to be practically Insolvent, The line of tLe defense was that there was the um ground that had existed for a considerable time to believe that current obligation! would be met. A decision is tot expected to-day. Moat Cooling Of. Nrw Yobk. November 21.

Ibe Supreme Court Decides Tbat aa Innocent Purchaser is Safe. Washington, November 21. In tbe Vnited 8tates Supreme Court to-day a decision was rendered in tbe case of tbe Colorado Coal and Iron Company et al., appellant! against the United States. The object of thia rait was to have declared void and cancelled sixty-one patents for sixty-one distinct tracts of land in Las Animas county, Colorado, amounting in the aggregate to 9,506 acres. Tbe lands, according to tbe record, appeared to have been regularly pre-empted and patented. All of these tracts between 1873 and 180 were conveyed through one Jackson to tbe Southern Colorado Ccal and Town Company, which then consolidated with the Colorado Coal and Iran Comrar y, which proceeded to mortgage fcr ?3 MX,CC0 property for which the Government received only $12.000. The Government charged tbat it was a gigantic conrirr y ; tbat the entries were fictitious; that the alleged pre-emptors never lived in Colorado, and that the Register and receiver of the LandOffice connived at the fraud. The Coal and Iron Company denied knowledge of the frauds alleged, end maintained that it was an innocent purchaser for value.fwithout notice of the alleged conspiracy. The Circuit Court held that the charge in the bill that the supposed pre emptors and pat entees were Editions persons having no existence, was sufficiently proved; that consequently, there being no real grantees, no leeal tide passed from the United States, and that as the defendants acquired no Ieeal title by virtne of tbe supposed con veyance to them, they cannot claim protecuon as bona tide purchasers for value without notice of the fraud. The Circuit Court therefore entered a decree in favor of the United Sates. This court holds that the evidence shows a fraud upon the United States sufficient in equity as against the parties perpetrating it, or those claiming under them with notice of it, to justify the cancellation of the patents issued to them ; but that is not such a fraud as prevents the passing of the legal title by the patents, where a gran tor has beed induced by fraud to part with the legal title to his property, he cannot reclaim it frGm subsequent innocent pur chasers for value. In the opinion of this court the Gov ernment has not conclusivly shown that all the alleged pre-emptors of the lands were fictitious persons, and that there were, therefore, no real grantees, nor are the facts sufficient to overcome the pre sumption of mnocente on the part of the Register and Recorder of the Land Office; nor does the evidence prove tbat at the time Jackson acquired the title to the lands which be afterwards transferred to the Coal and Iron Company, there were upon any part of the premises in contro versy any "known mines " of coal within the meaning of the statute. For these reasons tbe decree of the Circuit Court in favor o! the United States is reversed and the case remanded, with directions to dismiss the bill. Opinion by Justice Matthews. PARNELL TALKS. tie Cannot Approve or Disapprove of the Flan of Campaign. Lokpon, November 21. An interview was had with Mr. rarnell here to-day dar ing a Hying visit made by him on busi net e. He was dressed in a thick tweed suit with a thick red cardigan jacket over his waistcoat, f Ld a heavy friese overcoat lie has allowed his beard to grow again, and wears his hair long. He looked thin and careworn, but said that his health was slowly improving. Sir Henry Thompson who has been treating him for a vear. in sists tbat he must recuperate, as otherwise he will be unable to bear the labors of the coming session of Parliament. Mr. I'arnell. on having his attention drawn to Michael JJavltt s speech at btepaalde yesterday said: "I do not think it would become me to criticise or approve tbe management oi tne plan ot campaign, l waa not consulted at its initiation and have since been unable, owing to the state of my health, to take any part in active politics outside of Parliament, Those who are on the spot and actively engaged are the best judges of what their own honor and the interests of tbe country require. Mr. Davitt is in a different position. Iiis opinion is entitled to respect, coming from one who is in Ire land, and who is a man of singular, remarkable courage, who never shrank from the consequences of his words or acts. ' Rut I do not gather that Mr. Davitt did criticise the plan. He rather seemed to be apprehensive that things might be misunderstood in America. Respecting the general situation, I may say that in my judgment a more feeble or inert government never held the reins in Ireland. They are teaching Irishmen a most disastrous lesson by their bungling incapacity, teaching that the law may be successfully defied. For the law, as recently constructed, by the Unionist majority in the Bouse of Commons, is daily defied, and with Impunity, by thousands of members of suppressed branches of the League, and by every Nationalist newspaper editor in Ireland. In fact, one of the extraordinary results of the coercion act, and 'a firm and resolute government' is that for every offense against tbe law committed before the passage of ths coercion bill, hundreds are committed now. I leave it to you to aay whether Ireland's respect for the imperial Parliament, the possibility of her continued government by the same agency, or the solidity of the union Is likely to be increased, or whether this administrative incapacity does not render much nearer the concession of tuen a reasonable power of seif-government as will make our people law-abiding, prosperous and happy." New York's Official Vote. Nr.w York, November 21. The board of county canvassers to-day made known the official vote on the various State and city and county officers. The total vote cast for Secretary of 8tata waa 214,927, of which Frederick Cook (Democrat), received J11.18G; Frederick D.

November 21. Just before noon to-day Mr. Chamberlain, Sir Charles Tupper and Minister West called at the Department oi mate ana were snows into the diplomatic reception room, which has been set apart for the use of the Fishery Commission. They were soon joined by Secretary Bayard and Messrs. Putnam and A Egen. An informal conference men took place, which lasted less than an hour. No attempt was made to enter upon a discussion of the flishenes controversy, this meeting being held only for the purpose of arranging a line of procedure to be followed in the regular meetings of the negotiations. It was resolved that tbe first of these meetings shall beheld to-morrow at 2 o'clock. Stenographers will not be employed, but an out-line record of the proceedings will be kept by tne secretaries, and at the end of every session all of the members cf the conference will then agree Ufonardsign a formal statement of the result of tbe day's work. Third Assistant Stcretaiy Moore and Mr. Bergne have btenchotenas the official secretaries of the conference. The frequency of the seesions cannot as yet be foretold, as it will depend entirely upon the number of obstacles tbat may arise in the course of the negotiatons. It is probable that tbe negotiation will not attempt to prescribe regular daya for meeting, but will fix the days of the next meetig at the conclusion of each session. Perhaps the most important conclusion reached to-day was a resolution unanircously adopted to keep the proceedings of the negotiators secrat, at least until the conclusion of their work. The statement is authorized by Secretary Bajaid that any article that may appear purporting to tell what bu been done at any meeting of tbe negotiators will be entirely unauthorized, and must be the purest speculation. In reply to an inquiry as to whether the representatives of the United States bad agreed upon a line of lolicy for their guidance in the negotiations. Secretary Bayard said that the public had been fully informed as to the position of the Government in the matter. The subject, he said, is two years old, as far aa thia administration is concerned, and over a hundred years old as regards the people of the United States. 1 he English contention had also been known through tbe official publications, 8otbere is nothing before the negotiators of which the public is not informed. WAR ON BUCKET SHOPS. States Attorney Grinnell Begins m New Ciuiad iu.Cook. County. Chicago, November 21. A crusade against the backet shops was inaugurated by State's Attorney Grinnell to-day. The first intimation of it was afforded when the new Grand Jury was sworn in for the ensuing term, and W. H. Harper, of the Pacific Elevator, was made foreman.: Judge Baker in charging the jury started out at once to tell them that the last Legislature had adopted laws for the suppression of the bucket shop. Instantly the experienced court officials pricked up their ears and the whisper went around : "Grinnell ia going to make a fight on the bucket shops." "He is going to have their keepers indicted." The Court kept on with minuteness of tie tail, explaining the law's definition of a bucket-shop, so that there would be no misunderstanding on the part of the jury. The d he read from the statutes for their better information. Frocecling, Judge Baker said: "It ia the province and duty of courts to execute the laws as they find them, not to alter or amend them, and the public good requires that when guilt is clear, punishment should be certain. It is usual, but not neceteary, tbat before a caie is biooght before your body there should be a preliminary investigation before a magistrate, a od a commitment holding to bail to await your action. In cases where a violation of tbe law is directed against and afiects the public generally, or a large number of persons alike, it can scarcely be expected that any one person will make complaint to a magistrate, and as such it may well become the duty of the grand jury to institute and carry on an inquiry. Considerations like these, gentlemen, should be an incentive to use it in our present capacities to investigate every species of oflense and violation of law, to protect those who have suffered and to punish their aggressors, thatjthe wealthy, tbe poor, tbe ignorant and the oppressed may be led to come here to eeek. redress from their wrongs, no matter how numerous, wealthy, powerful, or well organized may be the wrong doers by whose unlawful acts they have been wronged or oppressed." "That was a splendid charge," said exState's Attorney Luther Laflin Mills, as the Judge finished. State's Attorney Grinnell waa present at ita delivery, and seemed to be of the same opinion. "Are you going to make war on the bucket shops, Mr. Grinnell?' waa asked. "Yea. A war of extermination." I'll have the cases of some of them investigated right away too more than that I don't care to aay at present. The Crown Prince Doing Well, BahHkk, November 21. The Crown Prince eats and sleeps well. Tbe British and German residents gave a banquet to the Crown Princess to-day in honor of her birtbdav. It is rumored that the King of Italy and the King of Wurtemburg intend to come to Ban Remo to see the Crown Prince. While a band was .playing in honor of the Crown Princess to day, the Crown Prince appeared on the terrace and was cordially greeted. Rcbxiit, November 21 The following bulletin was received from San Remo on Saturday: "Tbe oedemateous swelling of of the Crown Prince's larynx has entirely disappeared. Tbe reduction of the swell ing wis especially noticable after the 15th instant, when a flaculent discharge of a reddifib brown color occured. Afterward?, the surface of the new growth on the left side of tbe larynix, with tbe suppurating part and tbe enlargement -of the glottis, became perteptable.

Pajus, November 21. rrince Napoleon has sent a letter to Baron Dufour, a member of the Chamber of Deputies, saying that the resignation of President Grevy is necessary, and indirectly proposing himself as bis successor. In the Chamber of Deputies to-uay M. Jolibois moved tbat the constitution be revised, urging tbat the sole remedy for the present situation was to restore the peoples' right to nominate the head of the State and thus make the people the arbiter instead of, as at piesent, the plaything of political parties. He demanded urgency for his motion. M. Barcdet and M. Michelin spoke in favor of a revision of the constitution in order, as they said, to abolish the Presidency. The demand for urgency for M. Jolibois' motion was rejected by a vote of 381 to 173. M. Michelin then moved for urgency for a proposal to abolish the Presidency.! M. Jolibois supported the motion. M. Ribot appealed to the United Republicans to refuse their sssent to the proposal, which, he said, tendnl to discredit the Republic. M. Micblin's motion was rejected by a vote of MiO to 1V1, The Chamber taen adjourned until Thursday. M. Clemenceau had an interview with President Grevy this morning, and informed him that he was ready to form a cabinet. He said, however, that he was bound to indicate to the President : that there were other elements besides the ministerial question to complicate the situation. M. Grevy. in the interview this morning, said he would leave to M. Ciemenceaü the fullest latitude in choice of colleagues. M. Clemenceau replied that the devotion of thetPresident to the Republic is indisputable and tl at he might render her a last service by resigning, in view of the fact that bia authority had sustained a blow that waa hurtful to the Republic lL. Grevy intimated that his refusal to resign was not final. He asked M. Clemenceau to join with Mm Floqnet, Goblet and De Frey einet in a conference on the subject of bis resignation. A conference on the subject of the r resident's resignation was held in accord ance with M. Grevy's request, anu Mm Fiouet, Goblet and De Freycinet adhered to the opinion of M. Clemenceau. M. Grevy fii ally announced that he would appeal to otbtr statesmen for assistance. Replying to M. Clemenceau, President Grevy eaid that lor many reasons he desired to retire to private life, but it was his desire to quit the Elysee Palace with honor. Therefore he would rem am in office until things were so arranged that he could take his departure with dignity. He felt that this was.due to his past life and the office he held, He must avoid setting a btd precedent. He referred to M. Wilson as the victim of a political intrigue against bimrelf, The Conference waa renewed in the evening, when Mm. Clemenceau, Flcquet, Goblet end De Freycinet each declined to accept the task of forming a Ministry. Paris, November 21. A meeting of the AutOL-omiet arl Socialist sections of the Municipal Council was held this evening. There were about 000 persons in attendance, including Senator Songeon and Deputies Maillaid, Acbard, Planteau, Baaly, Laisant, Camellnat, Brialou, Millerand and Galvinhac. Councillor Eesson read the following proposal: "The Deputies of the Seine are requested to demand the resignatioa of the President, and only to tupport a government which will devote itself to the introducon of reforms and which will promise to demand the resignation of M. Grevy." The proposal was unanimously adopted. A vigilance committee was formed, consisting of thirty-five members, including eight deputies, eight members of the Municipal Council and fifteen members of the Committee of the Federation oi Seine, the others being members of otner councils. The vigilance committee will constitute itself a permanent body and will organize the forces of the Republican party for all eventualities. President Grevy summoned M. Bryason at 10 o'clock this evening. &2KLIN, November 21. The North Ger man Gazette Bays: "The resignation of M.

FKABKLI5, November 21. 8pecial. The November term of the Circuit Court convened to day. The docket is not a large one, and the only thing of importance beyond the calling of the docket was the contemplated trial aa the alleged malfiractice case of the Surgical Institute of ndianapolis, which was brought to this county on a change of venue, and which was to have been tried at the last term, but was postponed on defendant's motion until thia term. Judge Hord announced himself as being ready to proceed, to-day, and postponed all other business until next week. A struck jury was aeked in the case and a special venire called, but before the jury were sworn tbe attorney for the plaintiff announced that the case was compromised at the plaintiff's cost. Speculation was rife as to the terms of the compromise, A Mysterious Poisoning Case. Dklei, La., Nevember 18. Franklin Parish ia still much excited over the King poisoning case. It will be recollected that about October 28th, after a supper given at George C. King's house in Franklin Parish, some thirty-three persons were taken sick and eight died with symotoms of poisoning, among them two ot King's sons. Mrs. King and her married daughter, Mrs. Walker, were arrested, charged with the crime. They were taken to Winnsboro, land it is reported narrowly escaped lynching. Satnrday evening last George King, who had interested himself in procuring counsel for his wife and stepdaughter, and who was suspected of complicity in the crime, waa ahot and killed near hia home. Many persons believe, however, that he waa not an accomplice. The relations and friends of the persons

poisoned are naturally deeply incensed and ready for vengeance. Wednesday it was proposed to hold a preliminary examination of the accused, but owing to the fact tbat further testimony was necessary, the examination of witness was postponed until the 28th. In the meantime the body of Ben King will be disinterred, and the stomach submitted for chemical examination. Mrs. King, who is sixty years old, and her daughter, who is about twentyfive, both take things calmly and do not seem to realize their dangerous position. They continue to deny the charge.

WRECK OF THE SCHÖLTEN.

The Agent Says tbe Vessel TVai Properly Supplied With Boats and Belts. New Yokk. November 21. In an interview, agent Vanderloon said ne did not believe the stories that the crew of the ship had seized life belts and sought their own safety, leaving the passengers to their fate. That good order was maintained after the collision, and every effort made to save the passengers was proved by the fact that Captain Taal, the first officer, and m any of the crew were among the missing. When asked why only two of the ship's life beats had been launched, the agent eaid: "The Scholten's lifeboats were twnog on davits amidships, three on either side. Two of those on the port side were crushed by the collision. The other was launched. The water as it poured into the midship compartment gave her such) a list to pert that the starboard boats could not be launched from that side. One of them was subsequently launched and the lashings of the others were cut in the hope that when the vessel went down they would float, and possibly some of the passccgers who might be floating in the water would thus be saved. These life-bDsts were fully equipped with life-belts, breakers of water, provisions, oars and other nectEEary equipments, and the two liferafts, which were on the after deck, were alto fully supplied with provisions, etc. Tbe Schölten sank quickly, because the break was in the engine room, which is the largest compartment. She waa one cf the best vessels in the service of the company, and was built with seven water-tight bulkheads. She was valued at $240,000 and was insured for $175,000. She had a very fire cargo, coEsistlng of tobacco, gin, Rhine wine, herriDgs, dry-goods, iron-wire and other goods. The total value is estimated at $00,000, most of which ia covered by insursnc. " W. H. Vanderloon, general agent oIWT A. Geholten, in New York, stated late this afternoon that the passengers on the Schölten who were saved would probably be brought over on the P. Calaud. Tne Calaudwas booked to sail from Rotterdam on Saturday, but would probably start as early as Wednesday and touch at Dover to take off the Scholten's late passengers.
