T j Washington, Oct 88.—The supreme court of the United State* has just rendered a decision in the case of the Wabash, St Louis and Pacific Railroad company against the ■people of the state of Illinois, brought tip on a writ of error from the supreme court of the state of Illinois. The qusstiofi presented in this case, as it came to the supreme court, was the general subject of the power of the state legislature to regulate fares and tolls for passengers and freights over railroads within their limitB. The specific charge was that the railroad company charged parties in Oilman, Ills., twenty-five cents per hundred pounds to transport goods from that place to New York city, and charged other parties in Peoria, Ills., 86 miles further from New York city, only fifteen cents per hundred pounds to carry their goods to New York city. The case was tried in several Illinois courts, with varying results, until finally thn supreme court of the state hold that this discrimination was in violation gsra r supreme court Is in effect that the state law regulating freight charges cannot apply to interstate traffic, as such application would trench upon the constitutional powers of congress, and be a damaging restriction of the freedom at traffic. ltfi Saturday morning Hew Yqrk city ■ brighter or morn activi voman of (our "core years than Mr*.

A Nowltf In the Way of a Campalgm Meeting. New York, Oct 28.—Chickering hall vatcrowded last evening with supporters of Henry George. The mass meeting was held undek- the auspices of the Columbia College Henry George club, and Professor De Leon, of the college, presided. Many ladies were present, and a number of prominent E»en appeared on the platform. A novelty In the proceedings was a speech against Henry George, by John Carolan He was attentively listened to, but roundly hissed at the conclusion of his remarks. The speakers in fajor of Mr. George were Hon. A. A. Levey, Hon. T. B. Wake man, of Columbia, and several Other gentleman. A Mr. Russell followed tie example Of Mr. Carolan, and while praising Henry George as a deep thinker, opposed his candidacy for mayor. Afterward Mr. George came in and made a briof speech. He approved the course of the meeting in listening to what his opponents had to say, and declared himself in favor of joint debates. He regretted that Mr. Hewitt had refused to meet hta on the pUtform for that puipose. Mr. Georgfr was greatly applaitfled. He spoke at several other meetings during the evening. TAKE BACK THE LIQUi Tho gun of the tittle yacht boomed, and the big whittle of the steamboat tooted sonorously in response, and the Frenchmen and Ai—-trie— mrf each other salutes with great eontiallty. Then the big steamer started for Bedlow* Island with the yacht and the Amerioast right alcogsfcfa. Both Tank (lowed np to front of the statue. The flagship Tennessee and the other men-of-war ofthe North American squadron sent the tricolor Interring up to their peaks and let the national aalatc boom in a deafening broadside from their heavy guns. The yfisitors expressed themselves aa highly pleased with the statue and with the hearty welcome extended them. To-night a grand feoeptioa will be held, and to-morrow the great parade will jpocur. INCENDIARY ROBBER8. (R' i Justice Miller, who delivered the opinion at the court, says on this point: "Of the justice or propriety of the principle which lies at the foundation of the Illinois statute, it is not the proriaco of this court to speak. As restricted to a transportation which bagifla and ends within the limits of the state, it may be very just and equitable, and it is certainly the province of the state legislature to determine the question. But when it is attempted to apply to transportation through an entire series of states a principle of this kind, and each one of or of half a dozen states, shall attempt to establish it* own ratei of transportation, its own method to prevent discrimination in rates, or to permit it, the deleterious influence upon the freedom of commerce among the states, and upon the transportation of goods through those states, cannot be overestimated. That this species of legislation is one which must be, ■ if established at all, of a general and national character, and cannot be safely and wisely remitted to local rules and regulations, we think, is clear from what has already been said. And if it be a regulation of commerce, as we think we have demonstrated it is, and as the Illinois court concedes it to be, it must be of that national character, and the regulation can only appropriately be by general rules and principles, which demand that it should be done by the congress of the United States, under the commerce clause of the constitution.

' , Farmingtow, Me., Oct 26.—Jt is not thought that Sunday night's incendiaries had anything to do with starting the great fire of Friday, bat that their design was probably to draw attention to West Farmington and then plunder the town of Farmington. It is said that at least 410,000 worth of rescued personal property has Ixjen stolen or burned. The guards have substituted revolvers and shotguns for ax bandies, and will shoot if any further trouble ttocura. Safo openers ore at work and have opened half a doaen of the largest safes. All books an® papers came out in good condition. The fireproof vault of the People's Trust company was also opened, and found in excellent condition.

The session was devoted to insurance matters. At present there is only one grade of policy of (3,000 in case of loss of limb or death, which costs the members about WO a yea*.

The qusstiofi presented in this case, as it came to the supreme court, was the general subject of the power of the state legislature to regulate fares and tolls for passengers and freights over railroads within their limitB. The specific charge was that the railroad company charged parties in Oilman, Ills., twenty-five cents per hundred pounds to transport goods from that place to New York city, and charged other parties in Peoria, Ills., 86 miles further from New York city, only fifteen cents per hundred pounds to carry their goods to New York city. The case was tried in several Illinois courts, with varying results, until finally thn supreme court of the state hold that this discrimination was in violation gsra r supreme court Is in effect that the state law regulating freight charges cannot apply to interstate traffic, as such application would trench upon the constitutional powers of congress, and be a damaging restriction of the freedom at traffic. ltfi Saturday morning Hew Yqrk city ■ brighter or morn activi voman of (our "core years than Mr*.

The mass meeting was held undek- the auspices of the Columbia College Henry George club, and Professor De Leon, of the college, presided. Many ladies were present, and a number of prominent E»en appeared on the platform. A novelty In the proceedings was a speech against Henry George, by John Carolan He was attentively listened to, but roundly hissed at the conclusion of his remarks. The speakers in fajor of Mr. George were Hon. A. A. Levey, Hon. T. B. Wake man, of Columbia, and several Other gentleman. A Mr. Russell followed tie example Of Mr. Carolan, and while praising Henry George as a deep thinker, opposed his candidacy for mayor. Afterward Mr. George came in and made a briof speech. He approved the course of the meeting in listening to what his opponents had to say, and declared himself in favor of joint debates. He regretted that Mr. Hewitt had refused to meet hta on the pUtform for that puipose. Mr. Georgfr was greatly applaitfled. He spoke at several other meetings during the evening.

The flagship Tennessee and the other men-of-war ofthe North American squadron sent the tricolor Interring up to their peaks and let the national aalatc boom in a deafening broadside from their heavy guns. The yfisitors expressed themselves aa highly pleased with the statue and with the hearty welcome extended them. To-night a grand feoeptioa will be held, and to-morrow the great parade will jpocur. INCENDIARY ROBBER8. (R' i Justice Miller, who delivered the opinion at the court, says on this point: "Of the justice or propriety of the principle which lies at the foundation of the Illinois statute, it is not the proriaco of this court to speak. As restricted to a transportation which bagifla and ends within the limits of the state, it may be very just and equitable, and it is certainly the province of the state legislature to determine the question. But when it is attempted to apply to transportation through an entire series of states a principle of this kind, and each one of or of half a dozen states, shall attempt to establish it* own ratei of transportation, its own method to prevent discrimination in rates, or to permit it, the deleterious influence upon the freedom of commerce among the states, and upon the transportation of goods through those states, cannot be overestimated. That this species of legislation is one which must be, ■ if established at all, of a general and national character, and cannot be safely and wisely remitted to local rules and regulations, we think, is clear from what has already been said. And if it be a regulation of commerce, as we think we have demonstrated it is, and as the Illinois court concedes it to be, it must be of that national character, and the regulation can only appropriately be by general rules and principles, which demand that it should be done by the congress of the United States, under the commerce clause of the constitution.
