THE UTE OUTBREAK. ‘The War Department Awaiting Official Information. BUT GEN. CROOK CAN USE THE TROOPS IN CASE OF NECESSITY. A telegram was received at the War Department this morning from General Terry, stating that the Governor of Colorado had requested General Crook to assist the civil authorities in serving a process upon two Ute bucks who had been indicted Dy a grand jury. General Terry asked for instructions to guide himself and General Crook in the matter, A telegram was sent tn reply,simply directing him to hold troops in readiness to move at a moment’s notice in case of necessity. ‘The War Department has received no official information of the re- ported engagement between Colorow and his fol- lowers and the sheriff's posse, and the military authorities do not feel authorized to order troops to assist the civil authorities in their attempt to arrest the indicted Indians, Should the sheriff's Rosse be defeated by the Indians Colorow wilt loubtless take the war path and attack some set- Uement. In such an event General Crook, who is near at hand, has full authority to take immediate action. It 1s thought at the War Department that the accounts from the scene of trouble may have been exaggerated, as is frequently the case in that Sparsely settled country, and will discredit infor- mation that Colorow is én the war path until offl- cially informed, = JOHNSON'S HOTEL, 13TH AND ESTS, ____NOW FIRST HOUSE IN REAR. 14-20 g=> JNO.

Following 1s a letter addressed by Chairman Cooley, of the Interstate Commerce Commission, to a merchant who had complained of a railroad rate: ANN ARBoR, August 15, 1887. ‘Dear Sm: A communication from you complain- ing of a rate which has been imposed on merchan- dise transported by ratlroad for you, has been for- warded to me from Washington for answer. Iin- cline to think from the wording of your letter that ‘you su} ‘the Commission to havemuch ter powers than its members understand the law has conferred upon it; and it is to correct this impres- ston that I write more at length now than would otherwise be important. It is not, as we have found, an uncommon supposition among business men that the Commission has been given a gen- eral authority to alter and correct railroad rates by prompt action, with or without complaint of the rates being made; and it is sometimes critt- cised for not doing more in this direction. If one were to consider for a moment the vast extent of our country and of its railroad system, immensely greater than that of any other nation on the globe, and were at the same time to bear in mind how common isthe fault-finding with rall- road charges, he might then have some little idea what would be involved in any attempt thus to SU] and correct at discretion what might be thought wrong; but he would be more forefbly im- Dressed with the impossibility of any off hand cor. rection of raflroad abuses if he were in the way of seeing ‘and noting the grounds of the complaints which are actualy sent in for the Commission’s action. Inasingle day within the present week complatning letters were received from California, tah, New York city, North Carolina, and Arkan- sas, 43 well as trom points nearer home, and in’ nearly every case the party complain ing Was apparently under the impression that the Commission was charged with a duty to proceed immediately and ascertain a8 best it might by local investigation whether the rate complained of was Just‘or unjust, and that he on hispart had done all that was required of him when he had brought the matter to the Commis- sion’s attention. In very many of these cases the communications sent in do not contain any such statement of the facts as to enable the Com- mission to form an opinion whether the complaint is or is not pprObab Wy: well founded; and if it were to proceed at once to make an investigation it must then doso without prima facte cause for it having been shown. In some instances the com- munication 1s not even a complaint; the writer anly expressing his belief or his suspicion that there is in some kind which ought to be corrected, and taking it for granted that such an expression willbe suMficient to demand the Commission’s action. In one communication re- cently received desire was expressed that investi- gation beentered upon in adistant part of the country, Where railroad classification and rates were laa ‘to be prejudicial to the public in- terest, though the writer frankly stated that he could not himself indicate any particular thing as ‘Wrong, and that he knew of no one who was com- plaining. As any one may send such a communi- cation, and in most cases ‘the writers will be en- tirely unknown to the Commission, it cannot al- Ways be known even that it is sent in good faith, much as that 1t 1s probably made on good runt In many of the cases thus brought to our atten- tion it is evidently expected that we will not only correct the course of the roads for the future, Dut also order a refunding of over-chal ‘Toa man of your large business experience it will readily occur, on reflection, that Congress would not be likely to pass a law giving such summary and au- tocratic powers. To look no further for reasons against it, ample might be found in the fact that if the Commission were thus to undertake to re- spond to calls Which any one in any part of the country might make at pleasure and without re- epee it must soon, from mere accumula- tion of cases, find itself’ powerless for effec- tive work, and thus the law itself be- come unworkable. ‘The Commission perceived this very clearly at the outset, and deemed it absolutely necessary to require that complaints be verified in proof of genuineness and faith, and that they recite sufficient of the Fits to make out. an apparent case of injustice which would fairly justify the railroad company being called upon toanswer. When these require- ments have been brought to the attention of those from whom communications were received a very large proportion of them are not heard from fur- ther. ‘Sometimes we have reason to believe this 1s because they have discovered they were mistaken in the facts, and sometimes because they have Jearned the law is not what they supposed, while in some cases: shee erounts of comp! it were of ‘such trifling importance that when it was found the case could not be passed upon summarily and ex parte the persons finding fault did not think it worth while to make formal complaint. But not- withstanding this, a sufficient number of com- plaints have been duly and res, ibly made to ceep the Commission fully occupied; and if it had attempted to consider everything that was sent in, without requiring a prima, facie snowing of reasons for its intervention, it would probably have accomplished far less than tt has, because its attention would have been withdrawn from sub- stantial and dona fide charges to those which ‘were not shown to be such, and which, in many cases, there is reason to believe would have turned out to be mistakenly or inconsiderately made. ‘This would have been worse than a mere ican of time; it would have rendered impossible muc! that, as the Commission believes, has so far been usefully accomplished. Taking up such com- plaints as by their showing fairly challenged its attention, the Commission has been able to secure a correction of many faults and wrot some- times as a result of public investigation, but more often through such representations to the parties. complained of as convinced them of the advisa- huity of giving redress without awaiting adverse yroceedings, But another reason why Congress would not have given such summary powers 1s, that it 1s always: sapposable there may be an explanation which will change either wholly or in part the ap- pearance of the prima facie case so as Lo excuse Or palliate the supposed wrong. ‘The opportunity to make th‘s may be as important in cases that at first blusit seem plain as in any other, and partic. ularly in cases Where rates depend upon a if cation of property as making them unjust. When man complains that his property is put in a class above that in which it should be found, and that the charges upon it are thereby unjustly inci it may seem, is hiscase taken up by itself, that he ts quite right. But on questions of classifica~ tion there are commonly three or more parties in. terested; the railroad company perhaps least of all Aci ange: in classification that favors one ar- ticie of merchandise almost necessarily prejudices any other that to any extent is competitive; so that it unsafe woanswer without careful Invest. ration that any proj change wi ve injuri- Sts results to one unless it the roads them- selves. T have made this statement that you might fully understand the necessity the Commission is under of requiring that complaints intended for its action. ‘be made responsibly, and with sufficient fullness, go that the statements fairly put the railroad on its defense, ‘The Commission cannot assume from mere statement of what has been paid for trans- portation that the amount ts excessive, It may seem to be 80, and yet an explanation Which makes it reasonable be possible. At any rate, to make an explanation is as much a matter of right in these cases as to make defense when sued at law. It $s the desire of the Commission that com- plaints be made in the form of ‘ition, but they may be perfectly simple and without technicality. If the petition states the facts, making out an ap- nt case Of wrong Which the Commission has risdiction to redress, 1t will be sufficient, If after thie statement of our course of lure you desire to make oepiains for the action of the ‘Commission, the rules which are herewith sent you will be a sufficient guide, and on the receipt of our have immediate attention.

Arguments were heard yesterday afternoon in the Police Court in the case of Passed Assistant Surgeon Millard C. Crawford, U.S. N., charged with fornication with Eva White. ‘The assistant district attorney, Mr. A. A. Lipscomb, made the opening argument. He sald that while the district attorney's office 1s neither responsible for the law nor the existence of this case, still if the reverse ‘Was the case he thought that it was hardly neces- sary to apologize for a law for the protection of School children. He then argued that it was not hecessary to prove the direct act, and quoted thorities to sustain this position, He main- tained that it was suficient to show by circu stantial evidence that the act was committed. He sald that if the defendant's interpretation and ex- lanation of the letter were correct, then he must acquitted. If, on the other hand, the govern- ment’s theory that the reference to the “kid” was a confession of past cohabitation and the letter an invitation to future cohabitation, then he must be convicted. ‘The proposition of ‘the Government ‘Was that their theory was in accordance with the testimony and with tbe instincts of human nature, and that the defendant's theory was in opposition to the instincts of human nature and depended for 1s support solely upon the evidence ot the defend ant himself, which was so full of glaring misstate- ments as to strengthen the proposition of the Gov- ernment ‘When asked by Mr. Smith if he regarded the let- ter as a confession on the part of the accused, Mr. Lipscomb said that he held st to be an admission o Vhen Mr. Lipscomb had concluded Mr, Smiti of the defendant's counsel, sald that no one hi ever denied that a crime could be established by circumstantial evidence, But one single circum- stance had been adduced, he sald, to show an un- lawful relation between’Dr. Crawford and Eva White. “He chi the prosecution with getting Eva White out of reach of a subpeena for fear thai her testimony would prove the defendant's inno- cence.
