Cuicaao, Sept. 22-—The motion to quash a count in the quo warranto proceedings brought in the name of the people on relation of Fran- cis B. Peabody against the Chicago Gas Trust Company was decided this morning in favor of the petitioner by Judge McConnell. There were two counts in the information, which see to declare forfeited the franchise of the tr on two grounds, The attorneys for the trust argued that the two counts were conflicting and therefore could not be maintained. One count, it was claimed, was germane to the other. The first count alleged that the trust held a majority of the stock of the companies in the trust, while the other simply stated that the stock held by the trust of the other companies was less than 4 controlling interest ‘The attorney general argued that the pro- ceeding was in the nature 9f a criminal prose- cution and that one or more counts could be made relative to the same subject matter. In giving his opinion Jndge McConnell suid he could not see why both counts should not stand. They were ou the same subject matter, but it was necessary that the sec- ond count should also set up, besides the argument that the trust was holding some stock, the introductory part of the first count, which referred to the orgamzation the trust and its business, This leaves the in- formation for a final hearing. Both charges now stand against the trust and can be prosecuted under the information, BATTERED TO PIECES. English Armor Plate Not Proof Against American Guns. AxxaPoiis, Mp., Sept. 22,—Three shots from an 8-inch gun were fired this morning at the naval proving grounds opposite Annapolis in the presence of Secretary Tracy and the naval board.

The nickel plate stood the test, as it did the first test made last week. the best of the three. The English plate was shattered to pieces, TO SPAN | SOUNTRY. A Transcontinental Railway in Which Senator Stanford May Bo Interested. New York, Sept. 22.—-A special to the Trib ne from San Francisco says: A local real estate paper printsa sensational story to the effect that Senator Stanford will soon withdraw his capital fromthe Southern Pacific and cuter into a big combination to build a competing ine to California. The authority for this state- ment is a letter received by a gentleman here from Gen. G. J. Magee, a leading railroad man of New York and one largely interested with the Vanderbilts in a number of enterprises, Gen, Magec’s letter is said to contain a state- ment of fucts to the effect that Senator Stau- ford is perfecting errangements to withdraw from the Southern Pacific and that he is going to do so with the express intention of joining the Vanderbiits, Gen. Magee, the Union Pacific people and prominent Californians. A capital- ist whose name is not di-ulged says the scheme is to secure a railroad from ocean to ocean and one that shall have enormous capital back of it and make it a greater property than the South- ern Pacitic, How this new railroad is to be we- cured is explained after this fashion: The Van- derbilts are to turn over to the proposed syndi- cate the Bee line—the road running into St. Louis from Cleveland, The syndicate is then to buy the Chicago and Alton in order to get as. far west as Kansas City, where connection will be made with the Union Pacific for Ogden, Utah. To get into thiscity a road will be built to this place from Ogden, and, according to the local paper, Gen, Mages’s letter inti- mates thatthe section of the road iuto San Francisco is going to be built soon. Although the report is so circumstantial Vice President Crocker of the Southern Pacific declares that he puts small faith in it and he is etty sure Senator Stanford has no hand in it, The report is creating 4 good deal of talk and comment here, where every real stato specu- lator is onthe alert to know where the next through route is coming in. —_——— From Wall Street Today.

The republicana were teo busy hustling after a quorum, while the were equally busy in defeating this object, This is the last regular District day which will come this session unless the session beyond every one's expectations. A-strong effort will. however, be made to obtain another District day by resolution. The chances for this happening are very slim, and the most that the District has any real chance of obtaining is a night session. THE PRINTING OFFICE SITE. The Commission Waiting for Congress- men to Inspect the Proftered Locations. Amecting was held at noon today in the office of Judge Batcheller, assistant secretary of the Treasury, of the commission having in charge the selection of a site for a now Gov- ernment Printing Office, consisting of Judge Batcheller, as the acting secretary, Public Printer Palmer and Mr. Clarke, the architect of the Capitol.

The republican caucus today was merely a long discussion as to ways and means in regard to the much coveted quorum, There was no idea expressed by any one a8 to the advisability of abandoning the Langston case, and the only question was how to obtaia the necessary quorum to carry the case through, The managers of the party have re- ceived promises, which if the members uow in the city can be held together, would seem to promise a quorum tomorrow, and one object of the caucus was to pledge the republicans now here to remgin, A complete report of the last republican caucus was published by a correspondent, who is said to have been on the floor in plain sight during the caucus, During the caucus today special doorkeopers were sent to the press gallery to watch the cor- respondents and on the floor below, 10 one was allowed within thirty fect of the doors, AT THE WORLD'S FAIR Commissioncr Douglass Thinks the District Should be Represented. Speaking of that clause in his estimates which recommends that the Commissio; ask for an appropriation to be appliod’ for an exhibit of the District of Columbia at the world’s fair at Chicago, Capt, Rossell said to a Sran reporter today: ‘Yes, I donotthink there is any doubt but that the District should be represented at the world’s fair at Chicago, My plan would be to have a huge plaster cast made of the District showing its streets, avenues, alleys, parkings, public build- ings, street and steam railroads, and the sewer- age system. I would also have other casts made showing in detail how streets =are paved and how sewers are laid, I think that itis due the people of the United States, who help in a.measure to aupport the District of Columbia, that they eee exactly how the capital city looks. Of conrse there are a great reed other details that might also be work up, but I think those I have men- tioned are the most important, The real estate men in ron iT I think should com- bine to make this exhibit a success,tor it un- doubtedly would bring people to the city. Of course, I have no idea how much an appropri- ation would be required, but I am of the opin- ion that the Commursioners should not stint themselves,” Commissioner Douglass was heartily in favor of the idea and said it would receive his full support, When the matter of an appropriation was asked about Mr. Douglass said of course at this time he could not tell exactly what the Commissioners would recommend—whether they would ask Congress for an appropriation or not, He thought probably they might ask the citizens to subscribe. At any rate he thought that the District should be repre- sented there, —_-___ A Year’s Work in the Patent Office.

Printed copies of a “Protest against the At- kinson bill” from the South Washington Pro- tective Association and Citizens’ Association, No. 1, wascirculated at the Capitol today. In the name of the property holders and residents of South Washington it urges Congress to de- feat the Atkinson bil! or postpone action upon it until the questions involved in it can be in- vestigated by a commission such as is proposed in the amendment offered by Representative Moore. The citizens of South Washington favor the adoption of Mr. Moore's amend- ment providing for a commission to re- port to thee first session of the Fifty- second Congress as an independent proposition, postponing all action on the Atkinson bill until the proposed commission has made its report. “We fully agree,” says the protest, “with the honorable gentleman in his advocacy of the above proposition that the complexitics of the railroad situation demand that an intelligent and impartial commission investigate the whole subject, and we fully believe that this is the sentiment of a large qajority of both branches of Congress, We further believe that if Con- gress wero to confitm the illegal side tracks and un!awfal oceupation of land now used by the Baltimore and Potomac railroad 1t would com- plicate matters for the proposed commission and would give an undue advantage to this railroad over others that are seeking terminal eo in ie by MH sh ; e protest is signed by N.

The private apartments have been but recently painted aud hung with new paper, and the odor of the pigments and the bouquet of Stale paste have given to them an atmosphere that is hardly pleasast to presidential or even plebian noe trils, especially to a pair coming so directly from the exhilarating ozone of Rhododendron Park at Cresson. In view of this condition ef things arrangements have been made for the entertainment of the President at the residence of Mr. Wanamaker. The office rooms, how- ever, are quite in order, and it will be not more than ten days or two weeks before the other Portions of the house are habitable. THE NEW ANTI-LOTTERY LAW. Exclusion of Newspapers Containing Lot~ ry Advertisements From the Mails, Ete. The new anti-lottery law went into effect on Friday. As it prohibits the mailing of news- Papers containing lottery advertisements news- Paper publishers in this city were so notified some days ago by the postmaster, The news- Papers mailed since have passed the scrutiny of the post office officials with the exception of the Sunday Chronicle, As it contained alottery advertisement the entire mailing edition was yesterday sent back to the office of publication. So far this has been the only paper published here excluded from the mails. A question was raised today by the representative of the Loute- iana Lottery Company as to his ability in receiving the usual lottery mail from the office. It was found. however, that the law re- spects the sanctity of the mail and does not rmit a seal to be broken. Therefore ordimary letters can be sent as usual through the but the law provides that if evidente is obtamsed showing that a letter containing lottery matter was sent through the mails, then both the sender and receiver can be held linble either at the place of mailing or at the place of desti- nation. Heretofore such prosecutions could only be brought in New Orleans. REGISTERED LETTERS will not, under the new law, be delivered ton lottery company or its agents, and money orders will not be paid. Iu the opinion of the Post Office Department officials this law practically excludes the lottery companies from the use of the mails. A more severe blow. however, is their ex- clusion from the advertising columns of news- apers, which is one of the results of the pro- ibition from the use of the maiis, In the ut that the facilities of the express companies are used the officials state that the department can prosecute the companies if they have evidence that they are ongaged in circulating lottery matter, The above is believed to be the intent of the law. What it will prove to be im actual opera- tion can only be determined by experience. DISTRICT ATTORNEY BOGE SAID this morning that the policy of that office was to strictly enforce the laws by prosecuting all offenders, and no doubt the police also would zealously aid in the rigid enforcement of the new lottery law. It was a uliar law im ite sweeping effects and he pul ao doubt it would make a marked change in the lottery business, — Assignments.
