SUPREME COmvr DECISION'S.
A decision was rendered by the supreme
court of the United States today in the
series of cases known as the Pacific ration
al bank cases, brought hero by appeal from
tho United States circuit court
for the district of Massachusetts.
These were suits instituted by the
receiver of the insolvent Pacific
National bank of Boston a jainst the stock
holders of that bank to enforce personal
liability for the assessment of 100 per cent,
upon bliaies of both original and inc-i eased
capital stock of the bank standing upon its
books in their names. This couit holds
that stockholders are liable upon their
shares of iticieased capital stock; that de
fences and judgments and decrees of the
circuit com t in favor of the receiver must
be aillrmed in all cac03 and it 13 so oulercd.
The opinion was delivered by Justice
Matthews.
Motions were inado in the United Stites
supreme court today to advance and hear
together immediately after the February
recess all the cases now on the docket of
this court which involves the great tele
phone controversy. Counsel stated to the
court that the records in these casas com
prise 125,000 octavo pages of printed matter
and that the argument if all the ojisc3 be
heard together," will occupy a week or
more The court took the "motion under
advice.

THE SOLICITOR'S OPINION.
Judge McCue, solicitor of the treasury,
has given an opinion to the secretary in re
gard to the wines and other articles brought
from abroad by the officers of the United
Statc3 steamers Portsmouth and Saratoga,
lie divides tho article? in quetion into
three classes, as follow:
First. Ceitain wines purchased abroad
by the caterer of the mess and in use for
consumption aboard the vessel by the mem
bers of the mess or their visitors.
Second. Ccrtam articles, including
nines, gloves, clothing, etc., unpolled for
u&c of persons other than the officer, bfing
ing the same.
Third. Other articles, including v ine,
gloves, clothing, etc., brought for the offi
cers' use.
In regard to the iiral cla$3 the solicitor
holds that as the goods were not intended
to bo landed they are not dutiable if re
tained on ship-board for use. He says that
an importation is an arrival with intent to
unload.
In regard to the second class, v'u: The
articles brought by oiliccrs for use of other
persons as gifts or otherwise, the solicitor
says they are dutiable and that there is no
dicretion in the customs officers or in the
secretary of tho treasury to abate any por
tion of the duties prescribed by i.iw. "
As to the third class, viz: The articles
brought by officers for their own use, the
solicitor says their liability to duty depends
upon whether they are wearing apparel in
actual use, or personal effects not mer
chandise. If they arc, he says they arc
free of duty. The courts have given
liberal construction as regards v. earing ap
pears! and personal effects and the solicitor
says that under recent decisions all the ar
ticles bought for the persona! use 01 the
officers on shipboard or in their quarters on
a shore would be free of duty.
In conclusion the solicitor says that he
does not think there are necessarily any
penalties incurred by the naval officers, so
that whatever is collected f rom thein should
be in the way of duties on such of the
ods as the collector may decide to be
dutiable.

The Cheyennes Quiet.
Ci'bTER, Monl., Nov. 1. Scott Camp
bell returned to Fort Custer yesterday
having ridden in from the agency on the
Tongue river, the seeneof the apprehended
outbreak of the Cheyeunes. He went un
der orders to th-" agency in advance of
Capt. Forse'a balialion of the 1st cavalry,
and after gathering what information he
could maac for the foit. reporting the sit
uation to Capt. Force on his way back.
I Ic says the Avholo affair is a scare, and so
far as he could learn there never was any
good reason to fear serious trouble. He
met settleis within four miles of the
agency "who had heard nothing what
ever of the trouble, aud who said the In
dians had never been more quiet than at
present. The school teacher at the agency
ha3 kept up her school, and has not been
disturbed. In fact nobody knew that any
disturbance was feared until the scout ar
rived aud told them troops were coming.
A letter from the priest at the mission
states that there was some excitement
among the Cheyennes at llrst, owing to the
arrest of chief Crazyhead and two other
bucks on the chaige of sheep stealing, but
it was because they feared the arrest of
other parties also. When they found that
no mora arrests would be made the excite
ment quietly died out. Agent Uphaun is a
new man, not used to Indians, and was
easily frightened. Had an experienced
agent been in charge the demand for troops
would not have been made.

Senora Albrodn Martinez, a Mexican wo
man aud her two daughters, aged six nud

were no othrr than his wife aud step
daughters. He approached them: leaning
forward, put his arm around hi3 wife as if
to embrace her, but instead placed the muz
zle of a pistol again.,t her breast and fired
twice, both shots entering her body.
He then fired at thc youugci

through its head. He fired two shots, one
entering his wife brain, the other not tak

and put in jail. When he wit cool he
stated that he was sorrv he shot the child
but was glad he had killed his wife. The

Another IJutchers' Strike.
Ciiicago, Nov. 1. Tho threatened
strike among beef meu at tho stock yards
commenced toda Nearly sis thousand
men are now out from the slaughter houses
of G. F. Swift & Co. and Nelson Morris.
The trouble is over the adoption of the ten
hour system, the mem refusing to work the
two extra hours without additional pay.
In these two houses there arc no hogs
killed, and employes say thsv cannot ac
cept the ten-hour system. Each of the
firms employ about three thousand men,
aud at present many of the&e are congre
gated about the streets and on the corners
near the big houses, but there is as yet no
indication of trouble nor that the police
will be called upon to protect the two
houses, but it is yet too early to determine
the intention of the two firms.
Further particulars from the stock yards
striko are to the effect that Swift's men
sent a communication to him on Saturday
insisting on having an increase of 50 cents
per day should the firm return to the ten
hour system, and this was agreed to this
morning. When then the becf butchers
went to work they found that Foreman
Wilder, of Swift's, had discharged James
Matthcwson, committeeman. They also
found that the wages for laborers had not
been increased, so they struck. They in
sist now on having Matthewson reinstated
and also a return to eight hours a day
Hearing that Swift's men were out. the
beef butchers employed by Nelson Morris
went out. The crowd went down to
Smith's machine shop and compelled the
men there to striko. After this the' went
to Armour's for the purpose of calling hi3
men out, but this, move was anticipated by
the firm who got a force of police to guard
the principal entrances and tho crowd was
kept awa. The strikers arranged to hold
a meeting during the day. A member of
tho executive committee told a reporter that
unless the two firms gave in, all the em
ployes in the Tards will be called out.
Uetween 200 and 800 men in Libby, Mc
Kcc & Libbv's canning establishment also
went out. The reason aliened was that the
Morris establishment partly supplies the
canning firm with beef. A' meeting of
strikers was held late this evening. No
one except Knight of Labor were admitted.
Fully a thousand non-union strikers con
gregated on Sixth street, anxiously await
ing tho action of the Knights. Several
speeches were mado aud wild applause
greeted every reference to the eight-hour-a-day
plan. A motion to make nc compro
mise on anything short of eight hours car
ried by a unanimous vote. A committee
was appointed to take charge of the strike
and given full power to act.
The Knights of Labor explained tonight
that the men had been offered the reinstate
ment of the discharged men but would they
hold out for a return to the eight-hour sys
tem by nil the beef houses. He said the
proprietors would be given until Saturday
to decide what they would do, and if they
persisted in running ten hours a general
strike would probably bo ordered which
would include Swift's, Morris' aud also Ar
monr's slaughter house.
Strike at East St. LouLs.
St. Loris, Nov. 1. A circular posted

St. Louis this morning notifying employes
that hereafter ten hours would constitute a

ployes have been working nine hours per
day heretofore At noon the men held a
meeting to consider what action to take,
and pursuant to agreement among them
selves demanded of their cmp!oycrsthat the
preccnt bom's of lalxr be not changed.
The cmploj'er? refused to comply with the
demand and the men at 1 o'clock refused to
go to work. There is little excitement over
the strike and no trouble anticipated.

AWould-bs Assassin.
Nsw YoitK. Nov. 1. Tho surveyor of
the port of New York, Beattic, was shot
about noon taday in his otlicc at the cus
tom house by a "discharged inspector, who
fired five or six shots Particulars cannot
be obtained as yet nor is it known whcUter
or not the wounds are fatal.
Beattic was wounded in two places; one
of the .bulleU, it is said, entered the groin.
He is stiii in tho custom house.
Attendants state his condition is not con
sidered serious. The inspector who fired
tho shots is named Eieral, who was dis
charged last week. He was for about n
dozen years attacked to the custom house.
About a week ago the surveyor dismissed
him from the service, it 'being proved
that ho was in the habit of exacting money
from poor emigrants al Castle Garden,
where he was Lately stationed. The speci
fic charge on which ho w:is removed was
compelling emigrants to pay $2 duty on
sewing machines.
Coroner Levy took the itatemeut of Sur
veyor Beattie this morning. He said the
prlsoaor was removal from his post cf in
spector on hi3 recommendation, ai he had
illegally taken money from an immigrant
girl. The surveyor "wim sitting at his desk
when his door was thrown open and tho
prisoner entered with a pistol in his hand
exclaiming: Now by God I'll teach you
Ho fired three shots, wo of which took
effect, one through the fleshy part of the
surveyor's left hand and the other struck
the cast of the elbow, glancing in an in
ward and upward direction; this ball h.is
not yet been extracted.
The prisoner when captured as per
fectly calm, admitting the shooting, and ad
ded he did it because Beattic refused to lis
ten to the men who went to him to appeal
for his reinstatement. The prisoner was
taken before the injured officer who tin
hesitatingly identified him. Bicriel said.
"Yes, I am the one that did It. Ho took
the bread and butter out of my family's
mouth."
The prisoner was subsequently taken to
the Toomb3 police court, where he con
fessed to Justice Murray to having fired
the shot aud said he did'it because the sur-vt-yor
had discharged him without cause.
II j was born in Valparaiso in ISM, and
came to this country when fourteen year3
of age.
AVhen 23 rears of ago ho enlisted on tho
f ncate Columbia for a three years cruise
around the world, during which he agisted
in burning three Chinese towns for firing
on American ships. He next speculated in
horses, at which he accumulated considera
ble money, and in 1S49 he went to Califor
nia where lie added ti his wealth. He first
met Juo. Morriscy, Bret Harte and others
there. II3 was a friend of Bill Poole who
was shot. He served hi thoFirt California
regiment in the war of the rebellion aud at
the battle of Ball's Bluff rescued Col. Bak
er'obody and killed the slayer. For thi
he was given a medal and a pension cf $20
He had been in the custom house twenty
five years, receiving his first appointment
through General "Hancock and Gcuerd
Sickles. Ho denies the charge of taking
two dollars from an immigrant girl, for
which he was discharged, and says that
after shooting tho surveyor he turned the
pistol on hinT-elf, but was so nervous that
the bullet went through his hat. Ha was
held for shooting.
Tho wounded man retained conscious
ness throughout and as soon as it was con
sidered safe wa3 put into an ambulance
and taken to his home.
