San Francisco, Judge McKcnna of United States circuit court Monday delivered tils long awaited decision in the Important case of the Nothern Pacific company against the state board of railroad commissioners In volving the right or the commission to restrict freight rates over the com panies lines in this state. Each side claims a victory in thedecislon, which concedes the right of the commission to make reduction In rates but makes a permanent injunction against the commissioners, restraining them from making eight per cent reduction In grain rates, on the ground that the proiltsof, the Southern Pacltlc did not Justify that cut in the rates. On the question, raised by the Southern Pacltlc, that two of the com missioners were ineligible to reduce rates, Judge McKenna decided that candidates had a right to profits of the Southern Pacific did not constl- tute Ineligibility. Retaliation. Washington, Dec. 1. Retaliation against European countries, that seek to destroy American trade, is sug gested by United States Consul-General M. Judd at Vienna. lie says that the Austrian glucose producers, find ing their trust powerless to meet the rates asked by Americans, appealed to their government and the latter has increased the duty on imported glu cose from i to 8 florins per 100 klios, to take effect December 1st. This is aimed directly at America, as the unueu states is the only country competing for this trade and will shut us out from further sale of syrup.

Not Likely to Dispose ofVMuch Legislation. Washington, Dec J. It is not probable that the house, at the coming session of congress, which begins a week from today, can dispose of much of the proposed legislation which en cumbers Jts calendars. Little is usually accomplished at the short session beyond the passage of the reg ular supply bills. Still, the house, with Its instrumentalities for the, ex pedition of business, can accomplish a great deal 1p a brief time. The question of additional revenues for the government will depend on the senate, to which body the house sent the DInglcy bill almost a year ago. Should It be impossible, or to to deemed inexpedient to pres that measure tlnough the senate, there Is of course a possibility 'that-the pro posal to increase the revenues by an additional tax on beer or the imposi tion of a duty on tea, coffee, etc., may take tangible form and, If so, such legislation must originate, under the constitution, in the lower branch of congress. The power lodged in the hands of the committee on rules, whish gives the members of that committee con trol of the house programme, will make that committee the practical arbitrator of what shall be submitted to the house for Its action. That com mittee is composed at present of the speaker, Henderson of Iowa, Daizcll of Pennsylvania and MoMillln of Ten nessee. The death of ex-Speaker Crisp cieates a vacancy at the head of minority of the committee, which must bo tilled by the speaker. The mimes pi inclpally mentioned In con nection with the vacancy are Bailey of Texas, Catchings of Mississippi, Turner of Georgia, Richardson of Tennessee, and Dockcry of Missouri. The bill, wlilcn, in many respects Is fraught this time with most inter est, and which will press hardest for consideration is the Pacific railroad funding bill. The bonds guaranteed by the government are payable early in the coming year, and either an ex tension or a foreclosure stares the roads In the face. For eight years, funding bills have occupied a good share of the attention of congress. The present bill, of which Mr. Powers of Vermont is the author, was re ported shortly before the close of the lust session. Everything will be done by those Interested in it to secure consideration. The friends of the Nicaragua -canal are also bending every energyito se cure action on the bill reported by Mr. Doollttle, which provides for a guar antee by the United States of $100, 000,000 of bonds for the construction of the canal. The Loud bill, to cure the abuses of the law relating to uecond-class mall matter, of which newspaper matter Is transmitted at 1 cent per pound, and which has been the subject of much criticism by the post ofllco department because of the advantage taken of the law In various ways for the transmis sion of books and pamphlets, will also be pressed, as will be the Picklcr ser vice pension bill, which occupies a fa vorable position on the calendar us a privileged report. Among the other Important bills are the "Wadsworth bill, for the creation or a bureau of animal industry for the Inspection of meats and the regula tion of the transportation of live stock. The immigration bill, the Chlckering bill for ascertaining the feasibility and coat of a ship canal frtm the great lakes U the Hudson, several Important public land bills, for the admission of territories, and many others of special Interest to particular location. SllfW- lisili irM&i tlcunrt H BLIZZARD Railroad Traffic Resumed. Stock Suffered As Well As the People. fl St. Paul, Deoi h News from the blizzard has been meagre. So far as learned only live Jived have been lost, Nothing has yet been heard from the districts beyond the reach of tele graph, and it may' bo another week before It can be positively stated that there has been more serious loss of life. The -st rents' of snowbound Da kota towns are beMng cleared as rap idly as possible. The extremely cold weather has frozen tho snow until the Immense drifts have reached the pro portions of gigantic Icebergs; dyna mite is being used to blast these tout of the way, ordinary picks and shovels being unable to lriako any Impression on them. ' Stock on the ranges has undoubtedly suffered heavily and a fuel famine is thrqatened in many of the smaller towns in Dakota This is by no means a trivial affair, where the mer cury is ranging from 15 to 30 degrees below zero. Tho railroads are begin ning to get their trains runningagain. The great 'Northern got its first train into St. Paul from tho snowbound dis trict and the Northern Pacific reports that ItsjLInc is 'now open from Port and to St. Paul. Charged With Rape. August Burchard, a farmer living between SI ay top and Moham, this county, was arrested Monday on a charge of rape ,' committed on his 17-year-old daughter. Burchard is CO years old, and has four daughters, three of whom Uro married. Tho ar rest was made at tho instance of two sons-in-law, Huntley and Shanks. "When the old man was placed In jail, at Salem, he professed Innocence, and declare! somebody was putting up a Job on him. Defendent was arra limed before Justice II. A.' Johnson this morning charged with rape. Mr. Burchard en tered a plea of "not guilty" and will bu given a trJaTiifr a o'clock. Wednes day afternoon, Ho was placed In un der $2500 bonds, hut at a late hour this afternoon had not succeeded In securing bondsmen and it is probable ho will spend the night in the county jail.

Tho Post, In a cable letter from London, prints an advance copy of an Important artl- clo written by Hon. William E. Chan dler, senator from New Hampshire, for tho December IssUo of the Na tional Review, tho conservative monthly, in which he discusses the late election from tho Republican standpoint. Ills principal object Is to encourage European blmetalllsts to their propaganda. Tho Review, commenting editori ally upon the election of Major Mc Klnley, dogmatically asserts that, "unless the Republican party settles tho sliver question before 1000, thcro will be nothing left of the party after 1000." Senator Chandelier's article Is as follews: 'European Mmetallsts need not be llevo that the selection of McKlnloy and Hobart by overwhelming majori ties Is a decision to permanently accede to tho single gold standard. The Bryan proposition was soon seen by tho American voters to bo simply that the United States should accopt silver monomctallsm, should glv) up all attempts to keep gold and silver at a parity, should send gold to a prem ium and thereby make It merchan dise mcrely,and should baso all Amer ican prices upon silver only. It can hardly be considered, upon reflection, by any true bimctallst, that such action on our part weuld have helped the cause of blmetallsm In any coun try lu tho world. "A majority or tho people wish for a more energetic foreign policy than they believe will como from any Dem ocratic administration. They are deeply affected by tho lamentable condition the Christian subjects of the Turkish empire. Tfioy mean to annex Hawaii. They desire to seo Venezuela allowed to retain her right ful solo dominionlover the mouth of tho Orinoco. They are intensely anxious to see arrested tho atrocities lu Cuba, and to aid in making the is land free and Independent. "But none of tho foregoing reasons, not even tho one concerning the national honor in connection with tho currency, influenced so many voters against Bryan as did the determina tion of tho American people ta plainly vindicate and firmly establish the principle of protection to American Industry by adequate tariff duties on foreign products. "That the United States is opposed to tho single gold standard, and Is la favor of retracing,-in due course and with careful regard to the national honor, tho steps taken in the demone tization of silver, until gold add silver shall be admitted to free coinage at the ratio of 151 to I, and made tho standard money of tho world and the measure of values of the world, Is a proposition which would receive the suffrages of four-fifths of our voters,lf this proposition alone could be fairly presented to them, even without fur ther debate. "Tosuchconvlctions.entertalncd by a vast majority of American voters committed to bimetallism, tho friends of such a inonometury system may confidently appeal. The question Is not one for four years, nor for a de cade. It may take as long to remone tlze sliver as It has taken to realize the paralyzing Influence of demone tization. But the fact that 0,000,000 out of the 13,000,000 of American vo ters have given their ballots for the wild nroicctof Immediate free coinage by the united States alone shows that ilia question is one which must oe compromised and adjusted In some way. Tho advocates of gold monome tallism are crying out that tho silver question Is dead. They hope, but not really bcllevc.that this Is true. Never was It moro important for blmetalllsts to exert themselves.
