Portland, Ore., April 11.—Judge Deady, in the United Statfes circuit court, lias rendered a decision which virtually nullifies the long anil short haul clause of the interstate commerce act so far as it effects railroads that are competitors of water routes. It makes the distinction between commerce wholly within the states and commerce between the states, and also explains the limitations Qf the act as to carriage of goods between states by lines connecting with but acting independently of each other, and not receiving goods for con - tinuous carriage or shipment. The case under consideration was that of the receiver of the Oregon and California railroad company, a road lying wholly within the state of Oregon. Judge Deady rulo3 that the transportation of property from one stato to another is inter-state commerce, whether the carriers engaged in moving it or the vehicles in which it is borne across the line of state or not. The interstate commerce act does not include or apply to all carriers engaged in interstate commerce, but only such as use a railway pr a railway and water craft "under common control, management," or arrangement for a continuous carriage or shipment of property from one state to another; nor does it apply to the carriage of property by rail wholly within the state, although shipped from or destined to a place without the states, so that such place is not in a foreign country.

ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN AMERI- Pittsbubo, Pa, April 11.—A equal of one hundrott policemen made a raid shortly after midnight on the boarding house* and home* occupied by the employes of the Pan Htndlo Railway. The occasion for the arrests lies in the fact that robberies from cars of tho Pennsylvania Company have been going on for the past tbree years, aggregating a theft of over $400,000 worth of goods Up to 9 o'clock this morning between 40 and 50 men are arrested and as many more are being sought after. Fort Worth, Tex., April 11.—Ex-Lieu- Ex-Lieu-1 Pliant Governor Barney Gibbs addressed a letter to ex-Senator Maxey asking him to come out against the prohibitions amendments, which is to be voted on by the people of Texas noxt August, Maxey's reply Is made public. The object of Mr. Gibbs was to (jot Maxey to address a state anti-prohibition meeting, to be held at Dallas in May. Maxey says: "Your letter places the proposed amendment in the nature of sumptuary "legislation. I do not so regard tt The state of Texas has complete power over the whole question as an integral part of the police rowers never granted to the general govern nienf. The police powers of the state are wholly distinct and apart from sumptuary legislation. As the people of Texas have the lawful power in the mode and manner prescribed by the constitution to adopt or reenact the proposed amendment I propose as a JefTersonian Democrat to abide by what Mr. Jefferson laid down as a cardinal principle of Democracy, to wit: absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority."

Evansvili.k, Ind., April 11.—John T. Raymond breathed his last at tho St. Georga hotel yesterday morning. Mr, Raymond arrived ia this city Friday, at noon, suffering from a complication of diseases, and was unable to fill his engagement. On his arrival the bust medical aid wax procured, and everything possible was done for h is relief.

The fears of disorder at the monster Hyde park meeting have induced the police authorities to make largo preparations for the rep-ession of turbulence. With the fate ot Sir Edward Henderson in memory, h s ttiocwBor is not likely to fall below tho exigencies of the occasion. The residents in the vicinity of Hyde park have been nerv}iis at the prospect, but official assurances were given that the constabulary force would lie so disposed as to guarantee the maintenance of public order. The apprehensions of rioting at tho meeting were voiced in The Post in an article which excites much discussion. Best quality of Paints and O.U At very low prices, At vVilliatns & McAnulty's Carpet and Wall Paper Store. Brooklyn, April 11.—Sunday ball playing is going to be popular this season. This has been fully demonstrated by (he first pleasant Sunday—if not by the decidedly .inpleasant preceding Sunday. On the unpleasant day a large numbsrof peop'.e'went to Itidgewood and shivered until they were numb and blue. The pleasant weather yesterday brought out as large a crowd as the Ridgewood ground could comfortably accommodate, and it was a well dressed and well behaved crowd, too. The numerous smaller parks about Brooklyn where ball is played were proportionately well patronized. It is safe to say that 20,000 people in the city of churches were witnessing baseball games yesterday afternoon. John T. Raymond was a low comodian of the old times of stock companies, and he played first low comedy in many of the cities of the middle states and tlie west He was considered a competent, droll and correct actor. His first celebrity came of the play which Mark Twain made out of the book, "The Gilded Age." In that work of the humorist was the character of Colonel Sellers, with the adventures in which he figures row so familiarly in the drama. The production was Twain's own, and his monetary thrift marked the enterprise. Twain bore the expenses of the venture. RIVAL MERCHANTS Mr. Maxey says: "Tho Democratic party should not mffer itself to bo dragged into this controversy. Tho only real question involved in the proncsed amendments is: Is its adoption expedient? On this tho wisest Mid purest men in tho state differ. The Democratic party as such has nothing and ought to have riuming to do with the quest ion. As citizens let every man exorcise his host judgment and vote accordingly. I prolan to exercise my right as a citizen, and while I do not have the confldenoo which some have in the efficiency of the measure to t lie lull extent claimed for it, I will in the interest, of good morals, peace and prosperity resolve the doubt in favor of that side which seeks the greatest good to the greatest uuniber and vote for tho amendment." Will grow white around the gills when they see our The FVwt calls the demonstration an appeal to mob rule, and while not disputing the legality of public meetings withiJl certain well understood limits it asserts that in the lianas of (he reckless parliamentary minority, and as an instrument of menace to the supremacy of parliament It can only be by some unfortunate technicality that such meetings can escape uoing called treasonable. But, however strongly the government may bo oppoead to thif»mpthod of agitation, they are not likely to follow The Post's advice and prevent such assemblages by force, even though Mr. Edward Mdnis, one of the conservative members for the Tower hamlets, has warned the authorities through the columns of The Times that the story of the meeting might be written in letters of blood. The play was as bad, critically considered, as it has ever remained, and worse, for some of its original badness had been mitigated. Mr. Raymond was chosen for the principal role because it fitted his style cxactly, and lie could not well fail to express its humor effectively. His individual sbara of the first performance was a great success on the first night, but the rest of the performance was so crude and weak that the acceptance of the piece was uncertain. However, the fresh American fun of "Colonel Sellers" triumphed over all obstacles, and years of prosperity began at once. The drama made a fortune for Twain and Raymond. After the first Reason Raymond controlled the property, payjjig until recently $50 royalty for each representation. The two men differed bitterly, and their relations were never amicable after the first month of the hit. Boston, April 11.—The L. A. W. racing board has made certain change? in the rules. The following national championships have been established by the board: Half mile, one mile, two ftile, three mile, five mile, ton mile and twenty mile bicycle and one mile, two mile and three mile tricycle. These national championships will be assigned yearly by the board to"league clubs, only under such conditions as they may impose. In the location of championships with clubs the board will require that no prize ofTered for any event, in the meeting where the championship is run, shall exceed in value $50 ; and they will further require that the entry of any person whose amateur standing is in doubt shall be rejected. That this rule may be observed, the board will claim the right to know the full programme of tho meeting and to inspect tho list of entries to the championships, with a view to striking out the name of any person whose amateur standing may be in question. The national championships are open to league members only, and the trophies in every case shall be medals struck from a die owned by the league and to become the property of the winner each year. The chairman will receive requests for the allotment of the above championships, and will hold all such until May 1, when the board will assign tho svents. SpringPrices In the case in judgment it is held that the Oregon and California road and the steamers of the Oregon Railway and Navigation company in the carriage of the goods in question ait) not "used under any common control, management or arrangement for a continuovs carriage or shipment thereof, to and from San Francisco within the intent and meaning of the act, and that the carriage and handling of said goods is performed wholly with the state, and therefore specially exempted by the terms of the act from its operation, provided the same are not directly shipped to and from a foreign country," AND STOCK. THE QUEEN CRITICISED. The plans for the great gathering have been perfected with much care. Fourteen wagonettes will be disposed in a semi-circle parallel to Park lane, between the marble arch and the Hyde park corner, and the following members of parliament are to preside: Professor Stuart, Mr. Labouchere, Mr. James Rowlands, Mr. Broadhurst, Mr. Peyton Cobb, Hon.

Belfast, April 11.—The usual Easter festivities were indulged in by the various religious denominations, and following them cume the inevitable riot resulting from any demonstration of a religious character that may take place in this town. There was scarcely any disorder during the early part of Uie day, but toward evening crowds congregated on the street corners, and as darkness set in they became noisy and demonstrative. The police attempted to clear the streets but were attacked by the mob and driven away. Reinforcements arrived, and anotlief charge was made upon the crowd, which resisted stubbornly and pelted the police unmercifully with stones. Finally the police were ordered to fire, which they did, wounding one man severely, and the cl-owd fell back but did not altogether disperse. Desultory stone throwing was indulged in until midnight, when all became quiet, but the mob are making unmistakable preparations for a renewal of the battle, and a repetition of last riots is feared. The police have been ordered to deal summarily ■with the mob should they renew hostilities. Mr. Raymond was not a good keeper of money. He spent it freely, and after CoL Sellers' drawing powers waned his income decreased. Although he remained a popular actor, he was not fortunate in finding a second play of equal value. He tried a number, and at the time of his death was profitably using "A Woman Hater." STOCK IMMENSE! The Liberal and Radical clubs will muster at their several headquarters, and the visiting organizations will form in procession at rallying centers. From those points tlisy will inarch to the park with bands and banners, and the great meeting will bo organised at 3 p.m. this afternoon, die assemblage will be addressed from several platforms, and ample arrangements have been made for keeping up the flow of oratory at all points. Mr. Jacob Bright and Mr. Herbert Gladstone will take part In the speaking, and the resolutions will be put by bugle call at 4.SO p.m. Altogether, in view of the vast multitude that the bank holiday sends into the streets on Easter Monday, and the thorough preparations which have been made, the meeting will be a most impressive demonstration. ssltinces. One day, five or six years ago, while dining with six friends, it was suggested that each put $10,000 into a Wall street pooL A certain operation promised big returns. The scheme was tried. It failed. Mr. Raymond kept on in speculation and lost the $150,000 )which remained of Jiis savings. After thaf be was iv comparatively poor man, although" ! always capable of earning a good income. The Princess of Wales is reported, in spite «Df bulletins to the contrary, quite seriously ill of diphtheric sore throat. Her condition is undoubtedly aggravated by mental distress over the situation of bor sisters. Tho czarina is said to be in a state of nervous apprehension bordering on hysteria on account of the attempt upon the czar's life, and a constant fear that it will be repeated, while the mental condition of the Duchess of Cumberland (Princess Thyra) is lamentable, with little hope of complete recovery. Boston, April 11.—The membership of tho new Boston athletic club has reached the 1,300 limit and an effort is making to extend the limit to 1,500. It is estimated that the cost of tho land, buildings and fittings will amount to about $340,000. Of this sum, it is expected to raise $40,000 by entrance fees and $100,000 by a real estate mortgage, making a total of $140,000. The balance must be obtained from the proceeds of bonds to be offered to members of the association. The bonds will bear interest at the rate of 5 par cent and will run twenty years, with the right reserved to redeem them on any interest day at par. -w An unrivaled selection of Cloths of Off the stage Mr. Raymond was one of the most genial of mon.

Washington, April 11.—A grand billiard tournament is on foot to take place in this city during the latter part of next May when the national drill is going on here, for a purse and the championship of America. Schaefer, Sexton, Daly and Eugene Carter are expected to participate at the three ball cushion carom game. New York, April 11.—Dr. William M. Reynolds was arrested Saturday and his wife Sunday, on charges of attempting todefraui an insurance company. Their examination was set down for Tuesday. The affair is likely to cause a decided sensation, as the accused occupy high positions in society, especially Mrs. Reynolds, who is leader in a quite exclusive set. She is a daughter of the late millionaire Oliver Charlick. The Reynolds family occupied in summer a cottage at Flushing, which has been twice visited by fire within a recent period. The insurance company interested found reason to susp 'Ct something wrong and the charge Is now made, after considerable dotective work, that the furniture on which insurance was collected was removed from the house before each of the fires occurred. The accused parties vigorously deny the charge and claim ample ability to refute it. Xofd I.iinsdowne Afraid of BelSf Assas- sinated. Did They Mnrder Weeks? Ottawa, Ont, April 11.—There is much excitement here over an official notice to the effoct that during the presence of Lord LausClowne in the senate chamber in opening parliament on the 14th, the galleries of tbe.senate will be closed. This is the first time in the history of the Dominion that such a step has been taken, the galleries of the senate always on such occasions being open to the public, -who are admitted by ticket. A lame excuse is given that it will prevent confusion. The opinion is that his excellency has received letters, the threats contained in which he is afraid will be carried into effect if a crowd is permitted to enter the gallery of the chamber whtlo he is opening parliament. Extra precaution is to be taken to insure his safety in passing between government house and the senate on the day parliament opens. A strong escort will accompany him going and coming. This, however, is always done. Nkw York, April 11.—Charles Miller, nlias "Butch" Miller, and John Greenwall «re locked up at police hoadquarters on the charge of being implicated in the murder of Lvnian S. Weeks, who was shot and killed by a burglar on the night of March 15, at his residence in Brooklyn. Ever since the murder the police of this city and Brooklyn have been following up evory clew in hopes of c.ipturing the assassin. In the early part of last week Inspector Byrnes received information that Miller, who bad just been seut to the peniteHtiary for a robbery committed since the murder, and Greenwall, who was under arrest for a Jersey burglary, were implicated in the robbery. Two other thieves named Paul Kraus and John Baker gave enough evidence to fasten the crime on Miller and Greenwall. Ml-. Z. H. Chamber-1 inDh&s Identified the accu sed men as the suspicious parties he saw in front of Mr. Week'e house the night of the tragedy. Raymond's right name was John O'Brien. He changed it by the advice of friends, who thought it would be less difficult for him to succeed on the stage under some other name. He was born in Buffalo, April 5, 1836. He was educated for a mercantile life, but the humdrum ways of business did not suit him. He first appeared on the stage as Lopez in the "Honeymoon," on June 27, 1853, in flochester. The following year he played Timothy Quaint in the "Soldier's Daughter." He has played in every city in this country. Just received a larqe and select line of * Another Shock In Charleston. Charleston, April 11.—Like St. Patrick's Day, Easter Sunday was ushered in with a reminder of Aug. 81, 1880. Tho shock occurred at about 0.30 a.m., and while it did no damage it was severe enough to startlo people from their beds and to frighten early church goers. As on the 17th of March, the movement was in the nature of two sudden jerks of of the earth, accompanied by a roar, the significance of which could not bj mistaken. This is the only fltmke felt here since March 17. The disturbance had no effect on the celebration of Easter. Tho day was a lovely one, and the streets and churches were thronged with crowds of gayly dressed people. Men's, Youths' & Boys' Clothing at tho Mr. Raymond never drank or used tobacco in any form. He never ate meat and was never known to lose his temper. HENRY COHEN Raymond was greatly given to guying his fellow actors on the stage, and, when not acting, matching coins with whomsoever he met. Tho $20 gold piece was a favorite coin with him, though he would always stoop to win even the quarters of venturesome players. He has been known a thousand times to match for a mere cigar, but with a pocketful of jingling eagles and double eagles, he was happiest at the hazard. He found great sport in pins. The point of a pin deftly intruded between a fellow actor's shoulder blades during a serious scene in a play always afforded him enjoyment. He liked to see how nearly he could upset a solemn face. On one occasion a young man was playing Clay Hawkins in "Col. Sellers," and Raymond, putting his arm caressingly about the young man's neck, prodded him with a pin for two acts. In tho third act the pin seemed to lose its effect. The young man had inserted a thin book under the back of his coat. The hearty, even exuberant manner of the genial Col. Sellers, was Rnymoud's natural manner, and it was seen in all his later parts on the stage. In was no less observable in his bearing off the stage, and he always shook hands very much as Col. Sellers did in his greeting, "Morning, Nancy, morning 1" as he slapped Mrs. St. Hawkins violently on the back. Crime od the Inmase. Jersey City, April 11.—M. Jones, an old man, who deals in kindling wood and lives alone in a cabin in his wood yard, was knocked down and robbed while on his way home. His skull was fractured by blows with a heavy iron bar, and it is thought that he will die. His assailant eccaped and left no Cdew. The citizens ore considerably excited over the affair, as serious crimes against tlie pers*i are growing common, while police vigilance seems utterly inadequate. Congressman O'Neill's Fist. Clothing House, St. Louis, April 11.—Not to be outdone by Congressman Glover, the Hon. John J. O'Neill, member from the Eighth district, indulged in a rough-and-tumble fight in front of the postoffice yesterday. J. J. McGarry, a prominent Democratic politician, was the "other fellow," and there was a short but xpirited exchange of blows. McGarry, by an adroit movement, brought his eye in violent contact with the Hon. John's fist, and was knocked sprawling in the street. A great crowd gathered and cheered the chairman of the labor committee. The troublo Mas caused by hostile feelings engendered ■hiring the campaign last fall. McGarry followed O'Neill around and abused liim violently before he received his quietus. Boston, April 11.—The grand jury of the Suffolk superior criminal court brought in eighty indictments on TuesdAy. Since then Howell Matson, one of the jurymen, has asked the witnesses so many perplexing questions, and has acted so strangely that the judge ordered a physician to examine him. Ho was pronounced mad and discharged, and now the criminals who have been convicted are asking for a new trial. One of the Indicting Jurors Iu»auc. Nicw York, April 11.— Capt Paul Boyton, who started in bis rubber suit from Hudson, N. Y., at noon on Tuesday, to paddle to the Battery, a distance of 130 miles, arrived at his destination about .1 o'clock yes terday afternoon. The captain's arrival was the signal for the firidg of guns and torpedoes, accompanied by the tooting of steam whistles from the many vessels in the harbor, and the cheers and waving of handkerchief from tho crowds that lined the Battery and piers. Mr. Boyton seemed little tlie worse for his journey, although it was stated that he had lost twenty pounds in weight since he started. Boyton's Swim Ended. OPPOSITE THE EAGLE HOTEL.
