The McClellan Monument Unveiled
With fitting; Ceremonies. ' '
Philadelphia, October 26. The ele
ments did not lend a helping hand this
afternoon to the unveiling of the statue
of General George B. McClellan, and for
a while it was doubtful whether the cer
emonies incident to the unveiling would
be carried out. It was originally ar
ranged to have the exercises begin at
1 :30 o'clock, but at that hour the rain
was coming down in torrents, and the
ardor of the officers of the McClellan
Monument Association was correspond
ingly dampened. Major Moses Veale,
one of the heads of the association, upon
whom rested the honor of presenting the
monument to the city in which " Little
Mac" was born, went eo lar as to oi
floiallv announce that the ceremonies
would be materially curtailed to a brief
presentation address by hansel I ana an
equally brief speech of acceptance by
the Mayor. Soon after 2 o'clock, how
ever, the rain ceased and the sky bright

carry out the original program, begin

Washington, October 26. -Argument
was begun in the United States Supreme
Court to-day on the appeal ot the gov
ernment from the decision of the United
States Circuit court for the eastern dis
trie of Pennsylvania in favor of the
American Sugar Company, the u
Knight and the Spreckels and Franklin
refineries, against which the government
brought suit under the Sherman anti
trust law. Ex-Solicitor-General Phil
lips opened for the government and John
Johnson for the refiners. The present
suit was brought originally with the in
tention of having the sale of the prop
erty and business - of the Knight, the
Spreckels, the Franklin and the Dele

American Sugar Refining Company de

Manager; McNeill Figuring
pacific Route.
Portland, October 26. It is probable
that some time this winter or early in
the spring a steamer line-will be inaug
urated between Portland and China and
Japan. Mr. McNeill since his appoint
ment as receiver of the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company has seen the
advantages that his road would have in
nnaPBHsini? such a line, and he has been
eat.lv working to bring the mat-
to. tn ootiofoftirv conclusion. As vet.
however, the line can be said to be only
under consideration. None of the de
;u vQm Iiaaii arranged, and it is not
even known to a certainty that the line
will be established. This matter came
up on Mr. McNeill's former visit here,
and was suggested by the "large output of
flour from this section and the ready
market for the-'product on the Asiatic
side. Since the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company's alliance with the
Great Northern the project has been
presented in a different light. - An East
ern outlet is thus afforded for Asiatic
freight, and there is also the assurance
that the connecting road will further the
scheme to the fullest extent in its power ;
something the Union Pacific did not do
for the Upton line of steamers. The
Great Northern would have an advan
tage in connecting with a Portland line
of steamers, as there are already two
lines established on the Sound to divide
the business of ports there.

Court of Appeals.
San Fbancisco, October 25. Four de

In the case of C. F. Webber et al,
plaintiffs in error, vs. the Spokane
tional Bank and . Hiram L. Chase, re
ceiver, the judgment was reversed, and
the cause was remanded for a new trial
The plaintiffs in error brought suit
against the bank to recover on three
promissory notes given in payment for
fnrnit.nre supplied to the company. The
receiver nleaded that at the time of pur
chase indebtedness had accrued against
the hank in excess of its paid-up capital
and it was therefore prohibited from inr
curring further liabilities. J.ne ury ren
dered b. verdict in favor of the defend.
ants under instructions of the court.
The evidence showed that at the time
the furniture was purchased the liabili
ties of the bank amounted to $516,000,
while its naid-un capital was only 1100,
000. It was held by the Court of Ap
peals: . .. .
" That an indebtedness which a na
tional bank incurs in the exercise of any
of its authorized powers, and for which
it. has received and retains the consider
ation, is not void from the fact that tne
amonnt of the debt surpasses the limit
prescribed by the statute, or wnicn is
even mcurrea in violation oi uuhiwyc
prohibition of law in that regard. '
Judgment was aiso amimeu i
Company, appellant, against the City of

enjoin the city from extending a certain
street across the right of way of the
