ITS CHARTER STANDS, Judge Baker Favors the Big Pullman Car Company. DECISION AS TO RIGHTS. The Corporation Can Own the Town and Operate It Regardless. WINS ALL BUT ONE POINT. In One Instance the Power Con- ferred In the Charter Is Exceeded. CHICAGO, Iri., June 1. — Several| months ago Attorney-General Maloney be- gan quo warranto proceedings against the | Pullman Palace-car Company for the pur- pose of taking away the company’s charter and terminating its corporate existence. In his information the Attorney-General set up that the company violated its char- ter by buying real estate and building the { town of Iman, by erecting and operat- ing the Pullman building in this city, by manufacturing brick, and in other ways. Judge Baker handed down a decision to- | day favorable to the company in all points but one. The court held that the company had the right to own Pullman iron and steel stock. Judge Baker’s opinion is a long and ex- Laustive one, fully considering each of the usurpations charged and discussing the law applicable to them. He lays down that under its implicd powers the company had full authority to do all it was claimed that it had done, except as to the stock in the small subsidiary company. As to the fundamental question of the right of the company to build and own the town of Pullman for the purposes for which it was built and owned the position the company was fully sustained in ory particular. n is regarded by the Pullman very important victory for the ny and a complete justification of its the establishment and ownership I-known town which bears the ientally Judge Baker has instructed that the company exceeded the power granted by its charter in buying twenty- three acres of land which it has not used business. The company, however, 1and has the right, Judge Baker de- cided, to construct the big office building at Adams street and Michigan avenue; to sell liquor to its patrons in dining-cars; to supply water and gas to its tenants in the town of Pullman; to build houses and rent them t mployes; to erect church and school buildings in Puliman and to own land for switching and car purposes. The ruling of the court does not affect | the company to any material extent. The | interests touched are said to be worth not more than $50,000, which isan insignificant sum to a corporation with $36,000,000 cap- ital and $25,000,000 surplus. The decision is, in effect, a declaration that a corporation may engage in any busi- ness which may be considered an ad- vantageous or necessary adjunct to the business specifically set out in its charter, | without violating the law or exceeding its corporate powers. Thus the court holde that the company bad the right to erect an office building which would be large enough to accomme- date its business for years to come, no matter how considerable the increase, and had the right to rent out in the meantime | such portions of the building as were not required for the company’s own use. The sale of liquor in dining-cars was de- clared to be a desirable and necessary accommodation for the comfort and con- venience of the persons traveling in the cars. The construction of the town of Pullman is said to be part of the general plan of operations implied in the company’s char- ter, and therefore falls within the power and province of the corporation. The case will be taken to the Illinois Supreme Court. If that tribunal sustains Judge Baker the company will go on with its business undisturbed and with its methods of business practically unchanged by the suit of the Attorney-General. VICTORY OVER PULLMAN. The Chicago, Milwaulkee and §t. Paul Can Annwl Its Contract. CHICAGO, IrL., June 1.—The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul won a signal vic- tory over the Pullman Palace Car Com- pany by the verdict of the juryin Judge Seaman’s Federal Court to-day in the ac- tion brought against it by the latter com- pany. The jury decided there was no cause for such an action and gave a ver- | dict for the railroad. By the verdict the | right of the road to annul the old contract | with the Pullman Company was main- tained. Notice of a motion for a new trial was given by the Pullman Company. REPORTS OF A TORNADO. Railroad Tracks Washed Away and Several Men Killed. SIOUX CITY, Iowa, June 1L.—Reports of a tornado at Struble, on the Sioux City and Northern, about fifty miles north, were received from raiiroad men late to- night. A large section of the track was washed out and it is believed much de- struction was done. Three people are re- ported killed, but the report lacks confir- mation. The worst storm, railroad men think, oc- curred after they left. It is impossible to get any particulars to-night. oL e THE RAILWAY TRAINMEN. They Indorse the Policy of Officers, but Reduce Their Salaries. GALESBURG, IrL., June 1.—The con- vention of the Brotherhooa of Railway Trainmen to-day indorsed the policy of the grand officers during the last vear, by which strikes were avoided and the men lived up to their contracts with railroads. It adopted the Cedar Rapids plan of fed- eration, combining brotherhoods of en- gineers. firemen, conductors, trainmen and telegraphers. The salaries of the grand officers were reduced. The election of officers will come off Tuesday. —_—— WAS NOT MURDERED,. Return of a Man Who Was Supposed to Have Been Drowned.

Y., June 1.—Accord- ing to the Engineering and Mining Jour- nal the total value of the mineral and metal production in the United States in 1894 and 1893 was: In 1893, $615,846,806; 1894, $553,272,902. This shows a decline of about $62,573,904, or 9 per cent. This great falling off was, however, due far more to lower prices than to the les- sened quantity of the product. Thus, the value of the coal production declined last year $13,783,828, or 7 per cent, while in quantity it fell off only 6,220,970 short tons, or 334 per cent. This small decline in the volume of coal produced is substantially the measure of the whole output of the country. The copper output has increased 8 per cent from 327,255,788 pounds in 1893 to 353,- 504,314 pounds in 1894, though in value it declined no less than $1,639,508, or 4} per cent. The gold production increased from $35,955,000 in 1893 to $39,761,205 in 1894, but the commercial value of the silver pro- duced declined from $47,311,450 in 1893 to to $31,403,531 in 1894, a fall of $15,907,929, or 34 per cent. This was partly due to the reduced pro- duction, but the price also declined from cents an ounce in 1893 to 63 cents in 1894. On the whole the mineral industry of the United States has made a highy satisfactory record for 1894. With reviving prosperity and prices producers will reap a harvest for that which they planted in hard times. e e o NEVER VOTED IN HIS LIFE. General Schofield Says He Knows Nothing About Politics. DENVER, Coro., June l.—Lieutenant- General Schofield arrived here to-day from | New Mexico. He is making his last of- | ficial visit to the various military posts be- fore his retirement next September. When asked about his Presidential boom, he re- plied: “I have never given that matter any consideration. My career has been and is military and scientific. I know nothing about politics and never voted in my life. I have read a number of notices of late about my Presidential boom, but thought the boom was only a boomlet originating in the brains of New York politicians.” Again the Torrid Wave Sweeps Over Many Eastern Sections. In the Big Pennsylvania Mills Men Are Unable to Do Any Work. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 1.—Instead of | abating, the torridity which came upon the city Thursday increased to-day, and to this discomfort was added a greater degree | of humidity than had prevailed during the two preceding days.

At Least That Is What Cuban Patriots De~ clare. NOT KILLED BY CAMPOS. Secretary Polhemus Gives Out Interesting News Regard- ing the Revolt. THE BATTLES WON AND LOST. General Perez Communicates rect With Sympathizers in This Country. DI~ NEW ORLEANS, La, June 1.—J. N. Polheums, secretary of the League of the Cuban Republic in this city, has furnished the press with a batch of correspondence received from insurgent headquarters in Cuba, under date of April 30, including a letter from President Marti of that date. Being questioned as to the death of Marti, Mr. Polheums stated there were many rea- sons why he did not believe such was the case. “First,” said he, “Marti was not, when last heard of, in the district in which he was said to have been when killed. If he had been there it would have meant a march of sixty-five leagues from where he was last heard from; second, nothing has been said of the ring which his mother gave him and which he always wore, for I know it well; neither regarding the marks of chains on his body. “Furthermore, if it had been Marti, his body would not have been immediately buried, but would have been brought to Havana or Santiago for public view, and, as a conclusive proof to me that he is not dead, I would state that General Martinez Campos hasnot yet publicly stated that he was sure of Marti’s death. Furthermore, none of the officers or country people in the vicinity where he is supposed to have been killed, could have known him, as he has been out of Cuba for almost a score of years, and when he did live there he was a stripling. “No; everything to me points to his be- ing alive. Remember that they publicly stated that Jose Maceo was dead, but we all know he is still battling nobly for Cuban independence.” Under date of April 30 Genera! Pedro Perez, commanding the Department of Guantanamo, reports: February 24—Captured Fort Jabonico, to- gether with a quantity of arms and ammuni- tion. The enemy left three dead. The same day attacked Fort Tori, but was driven off. Some of the men wounded, but not seriously. February 25—Captured Fort Sabana de Cuba, guns, ammunition and horses. The same day forced the enemy to withdraw toward Guanta- namo. March 4—Had an encounter with the enemy at Ullof; the enemy withdrew taking their wounded but leaving six dead on the field. March 11—Had three running fights. March 16—A skirmish. March 18—A fight at Hermitano with but small loss on either side. April 16—Had a fight with Guayabal de Yateras; some losses and wounded on both sides. : Major-General Maceo, in a report to the commander-in-chief, says: On the 24th of April, learning that yourself and Marti and other members of our cause were in the vicinity of Arroyo Honde, about twelve leagues from where I was, I at once de- tached part of the men under my command, passing three miles from Guantanamo, in full view of the Spanish forces. Atmnoon the following day, when my com- mand had halted for dinner, the outposts were driven in by the skirmishers of the enemy, who were coming on at a double quick. They occupied a higher position than ours and well wooded. The First Regiment of Limones was deployed in line of battle and began to fire, detaining the enemy’s advance. In the meantime Major Modesto Rio, at the head of another division, turned the enemy’s flank after crossing a brook ‘which separated us. The enemy made a vigorous resistance, and Iordered a general attack with all the forces at my command, and after two hours’ hard fighting, during which time my cavalry did most _effective work, the enemy was finally driven back, leaving the greater part of their dead on the field. Their dead numbered forty- two and they had over sixty-five wounded. 1 managed to secure a good quantity of arms and ammunition. Among their dead was a captain and sergeant, and several officers were badly wounded. 1 regret to report to you the death of Major Arcil Duvoiger, who was killed in turning the enemy’s flank, also three more, and six wounded, not dangerously. Maceo closes his report by calling special attention to the bravery of a number of officers under his commana. Under date of April 30 General Maceo, in his report, makes mention of the capture of fifty men who occupied block ports at the village of Ramon de Las Yumgas, and also secured alarge amount of ammunition, arms and equipment. The letter from President Marti, under date of April 20, states that Antonio Maceo has 6000 men and gives the number of men under other leaders and their positions, showing that the insurgents now under arms and well equipped number about 8000 men. The President concludes as follows: I have issued notices for the election of the constitutional Government, and to doall which will give my Cuba the dignity and respect she deserves in the races of the world. Unite our people, make them one, do not dismay, do not believe the rumors you may hear about us, do not believe the canards, but have faith and wait. The courier is waiting. Good-by. Work, do not stop. Al together let us secure our inde- pendence; let us secure a country; let us se- cure the right to call ourselves freemen. Miners Agree on Wages. COLUMBTUS, Omuro, June 1.—The Ohio miners and operators to-night reported an agreement on the wage question. The price for pick mining in the Hocking dis- trict is 51 cents a ton, based on the 60-cent rate in the thin-vein minesof the Pitts- burg district, and at the other districts of Ohio to occupy the same relative position which they did April 30, 1895. In case an advance is secured in the Pittsburg district a proportionate advance is to be made in Ohio. All miners are to be reinstated without prejudice. Fainted on the Bench. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 1L.—Justice Barrett fell fainting from his chair while presiding at the trial of Police Inspector William McLaughlin in the Court of Oyer and Terminer to-day. He will recover.

SHERMAN ANSWERS HILL Says the New York Statesman Had Evidently Not Read His Speech. Why Both Gold and Silver Should Be Maintained at the Same Parity. CINCINNATI, Onro, June 1.—The Com- mercial Gazette’s special from Mansfield says: Senator Sherman, in reply to a query to-night as to whether he had read Senator Hill's criticism of his Zanesville speech, said that he had, but that Senator Hill's remarks would indicate he had not read the speech. “At all the conventions in Ohio,” said the Senator, ‘“we have declared we are in favor of the use of both gold and silver maintained at par with each other. To this extent that we can maintaia the silver at par with gold we coin it at the present ratio. We buy the silver at its market value and coin it at the legal ratio, but we maintain it by receiving it and paying it out as the equivalent of gold.” “Is there anything in thisto degrade our dollar standards, as Senator Hill says?” “It does not degrade it. The whole of our policy is to main the two metals at par with each other.” i “What about Senator Hill’s sarcastic reference to our silver dollars and green- back dollars being exportable?” “Mr. Hill only displays his ignorance when he says our silver money and all other forms of money are not receivable in England at the value we put upon them, because we receive it and they can send it back on the steamer at a trifling cost and can use it in payment instead of gold. They can present silver certificates and we receive the same as gold in payment of duties. If we refuse to accept them on a parity with other money we would be on the standard of silver.” LI AR MARRIED IN GOTHAM. Brilliant Wedding of Miss Cameron and Belmont Tiffany. NEW YORK, N.

MeLAE MADE COLONEL An Ex-Army Officer Is in Com- mand of the Dole Troops. With a Toy Gunboat the Honolulu Officials Are Looking for Filibusters. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., June 1.—A pri- vate letter from Honolulu, under date of May 20, printed in the News to-day, says, among other things, that McLane, late of the United States army and navy, who | had charge of General Grant’s funeral pro- | cession, has been made colonel of the Ha- waiian Regiment. He arrived on the last boat and took | charge at once. He is regarded by the troops as thoroughly military, and has made some radical changes and inaugu- rated a course of strict discipline, which has heretofore been rather lax. The letter adds that there are lots of ru- mors afloat on the island of a filibustering expedition that is supposed to be on its way down to the islands, or else getting ready to come. TheGovernment has hired a steamer, placed a cannon on board and has it patrolling around the islands watch- ing for any suspicious vessels that come in sight. —t PRESENT ACTLON USELESS. Senator Dubois Says a Silver President Is Needed. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1.—Senator Dubois of Idaho is back from a visit to his home. In view of his prominence among the silver Republicans of the Senate, he was asked to-day what silver legislation would be enacted by the next Congress. ““There will be no silver legislation what- ever,” he said. “It would be utterly use- less to pass a silver bill and then have the President veto it. There is no need of passing a silver bill until we have a silver President, and, in my judgment, we will have such a President in 1896.” g INCREASE OF THE DEFICIT. Receipts and FExpenditures During the Month of May. ‘WASHINGTON, D.

There Is Not Suffictent Protection to Ber- ing Sea Seals, WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1.—It is stated av the British embassy that the new Bering Sea bill, which Sir Edward Grey announced in the House of Com- mons yesterday, is one perfecting the phraseology of the present act, without altering or extending the substantial fea- tures of the presentact. It will not, it is said, enlarge the zone or extend the closed season, as these points are fixed by the Paris award and are not subject to change until a new award is made. Officials of both Governments seem to agree, however, that the protected zone should be extended from sixty to two hundred miles, as expert testimony establishes it as a fact that the female seal goes far outside the sixty-mile limit, and can be slaughtered without re. gard to the Government patrol. A change in this particular cannot be effected, however, until the governments bave further conferences. S8ir Julian Pauncefote, the British Embassador, sails on-Tuesday next for his summer vacation in Great Britain. He will probably be in London when the Bering Sea bill is intro- duced and debated, but he does not antici- pate that the debate will be of any signifi« cance on the general subject. — T.
