Speciil to Tin: Astorian.
Portland, March 4. In view of
the facts that the Union Pacific in
tends to establish a line of steamers
between Portland and Asiatic points
coupled with the prctjioscd line from
Tacoma to the same ports, doubts ex
ist if the trade of this coast is sufficient
to compensate the three companies.
In a conversation with the Canadian
Pacific officials here they said that at
present the amount of trade icr steamer
from Asia to this port amounts to
about a thousand tons per steamer,
and they ctn'tscc how the Union Pa
cific caii do much with three steamers.
"The Canadian Pacific ruu three steam
ers in the winter and seven in the
summer, and are having three new
steamers built. Of course, this port
represents all of our trade, transcon
tinental and coast. There is hardly
business enough lo support two new
companies as our transcontinental
trade will not be affected as our rates
are much lower. Having to depend
on the coast trade, we ship
little if anything via Portland lo Asia.
The most exports comes from the cast
via the Union Pacific line. This may
injure our Portland trade, bnt will not
harm the eastern. We think the North
ern Pacific line at Taeomi would
make the best showing of the two new
companies."

THE KILLING OF TERRY.
Tie Case Before tie Supreme Court
of the Unite! States.
XACH llOXTGOXERY'S I'LEA.
Special by Tho California Associated Press.
Washington, March 4. Argument
on the appeal in the celebrated Cali
fornia case of Cunningham the Stock
ton sheriff against Marshall Nagle,
was begun before the supreme court
to-day. Justice Field was absent
from the bench. Zach Montgomery
opened the case for the state of Cali
fornia mid recited in detail incidents
of the tradegy in tho Lathrop station,
last August, resulting in the killing of
Judge David Terry. He stated that
the position of the state of California
before the court, is solely a question
of jurisdiction aud all evidence touch
ing Neagle's guilt or innocence is ir
relevant. Tho lower court had hinged the
question of jurisdiction in tho case
upon the question of Neagle's guilt
If Neagle was guilty of the crime, it
was held the state court had jurisdic
tion, otherwise not.
"We will endeavor to show," said
Montgomery, lthat whether Neagle
was guilty or not, there is a contlict
of opinion upon the question of juris
diction." Montgomery further said, UI did not
justify Terry's act in assaulting
Judge Field, but denounced it as a
grievous wrong."
"If tho assault upon Judge Field
made by Terry was with a deadly
intent, which could be prevented only
by the killing of Terry, then the kill
ing was justified, but if Terry made
an assault with lii3 hand, simply to
provoke Judge Field into a duel, it
puts a different light upon the ques
tion." Montgomery was convinced that
Terry did not make an attempt on
Field's life.
He referred to Terry's reputation as
a duelist and declared his belief that
Terry only intended to insult and
challeuge Field to a duel. Montgom
ery Ecored the U. S. marshal Franks
for not warning Terry, whom he knew
was likely to insult Judge Field, that
his act would receive a swift punish
ment by the official body guard who
would protect Field. Montgomery then
discussed the technical legal questions
upon which hinged the issuance of the
writ of habeas corpus to Neagle
Montgomery was followed by U. S.
attorney general Miller in behalf of
Neagle. Miller said he intended lo
discuss the questions which ho claimed
controlled the entire case Tim first
Latitat it is the duty of thajfiWitive
department to protect tbiP'fi'Jfoiaxy.
The second is, that, under the consti
tution, it is the duty of the judiciary to
sit in judgement oii the acts of its of
ficials in performance or their duties,
and this he proceeded to do in au able
ami eloquent manner and quoted the
decisions of eminent jurists, beginning
with chiet justice Marshall, to sub
stantiate his jiositiou. The argument
in the case will bo concluded to-mor-

Washington, D. C, March 4.
The senate convened at the

were introduced, many of them
favoring free coinage of silver. The
house bill providing for the taking of
the census of Alaska by special agents
was passed.
Voorhees resolution relating to the
fishery awards was reported back ad
versely from the finance committee.
Chairman Morreu said the commit
tee had so acted because secretary of
the treasury Windom had already
awarded the contract, and the senate
therefore had no power in the mat
ter. Voorliees explained that he had in
troduced the resolution believing that
secretary Windom had not been fully
lniormed on the subject, out that he
would not earn- the subject further
and thus oppose the action of the
committee. The resolution was then
postponed indefinitely.

transitory nature of the clubs compos
ing it was stronger than it was a year

force. It would not nominate presi
dents but would elect them. Ho rec
ommended that each club should bo
put on a permanent basis and see to
work; to educate young men who
would soon cast their first votes. Par
ties are so evenly divided that
those who succeeded in getting
the most of the new voters would win.

Race Troubles Concerning Land.
Kingfisher, Ind. Ty., March 4.
Boomers are greatly aroused over the
report of the Oklahoma .negro col
onization. Early this morning boom
ers at Down's station on Gutherie and
Kingfisher stage route, took negro
"ISuck' Hawkins from his bed and
severly whipped him. He was sus
pected of having fired the prairie
gra33 on his neighbors claim. During
the whipping of Hawkins the neigh
boring negro family and Abe Samuel
and Clark Burgess fired upon the
masked settlers from ambush,
literally peppering the party with shot,
seriously wounding Wood Davis. Be
fore the negroes could reload they
were surrounded, and being thorough
ly frightened promised to leavo the
country. The negro Hawkins arrived
at King Fisher this morning, asking
for protection. He claims that Wood
Davis is contesting his claim, and that
this is the real cause of the trouble.
Davis is in a precarious condition.
The negroes are frightened and some
are preparing to leave.
A Big Legislature Fight.
Special to The Astorian.
Bismarck, N. D., March 4. At no
time since the early days of territorial
legislation has the legislature fur
nished as many sensations as were
sprang on the senate to-day. For
some time past the majority of the
senators have been hot at "repeated
gratuitous insults offered them bv at
torney general Goodwin. Tho sen
ate committee, which investigated
the charges of corruption in
connection with the lottery scheme
and the election of U. S. seuators, is
anxious to compel several state offi
cials to appear as witnesses andltell all
they know concerning the oft repeated
charges of boodleism. Attorney gen
eral Goodwin was requested to furnish
the senate a written opinon as to the
manner in which the committee
should proceed against these recalci
trant officials who have ignored its
subpoenas. To-day the atto rney gen
eral informed the senate in a flippant
aud sarcastic vein that its committee
had no powers worth speaking of. In
fact the senate had better not bite off
more than it could legally chew.
As soon as the opinion was
read senator Lamaure got the floor
and roasted the attorney general in
violent language He accused Good
win of shielding unwilling witnesses
to save his own scalp, and referred to
him as a brainless monkey. Several
other senatora followed in the same
strain, and the attorney general's
opinion was by a resolution fired into
the wjiste basket and erased from tho
records.
The resolution wjis adopted with
only three dissenting votes, denounc
ing senators Dodds and Barlow for
their attack upon their colleagues,
and sent them a resolution removing
senatorDodds from office of president
pro tem. They went through the
business with a whirl. To add to
Dodds' discomfiture senator La Mauro
had Dodds' bitterest enemy elected
president pro tem by acclamation.
There is talk of expelling Dodds and
Barlow from the senate, and there
is more excitement in Bismarck to
night than there was during the fight
over the lottery bill.
