The Railroad War. Spedal DUpatch to The Bee. CHICAGO , December 4 , 1 a. m. - There were some changes yesterday in the southwestern railroad tariff. The ( Chicago & Alton continue to sell tick ets to St. Louis at § 2 , to Kansas City at 85 , but advanced the rate to Omaha from § 7 to 811.60. No roeson was given for making the raise.except that ? 7 was iust the tariff from Kansas City to Omaha , and itwas worth more to carry a passenger from Chicago. The Wabash came out-in the moruins with tke Kansas City rate dropped § 3 , St Louis still holding at 81. The Kansaa City rate ii made on tickets for 810 , with a rebate of 87. The Il linois Central continues to sell to St. Louis for 86 with a rebate of ? 5 , as has been done forthe last three weeks. The C. , B. &Q. eelli to St. Louis at 83.70 , with a rebate of 87.70 ; to Kansas - sas City at 814.80 , with a rebate of § 7 , and to Omaha at 815-30 , straight. All four lines say travel holds _ unus ually heavy , so much so that it is hard to understood where all the peopla come from and go to. Tno Loving cnristlancys. Spedal Dispatch to The Uee. WASHISGTON , December 4 1 a. m. The divorce case of Minister Chris- tiancy against his wife , on the grounds of adultery , has apparently come to an unexpected termination , and the wife now proeods or. her 'cross bill for divorce on the ground of Mr. Chriatiancy's cruelty while in Petu. Mr. Christiancy's lawyers ex pected to prove by W. H. Halschuk , at the St. James hotel , that TMrs. Christhncy committed adultery -here lust Christmas day with one Eraile Giro , but when Halschuk was con fronted with Mrs. Christiancy , he said positively she was not the lady who was with Giro at the St. James. * B.

The committee appointed by the Lin coln club to invite President-elect Garfield to visit this city , returned from Mentor yesterday , and reported that the general would visit this city sometime within the next two weeks , if the day the committee appointed would suit his convenience. The Cabinet Makers. Waahingten Special to The Chicago Tribune. It is sow known that nothing oc curred between Gen. Garfield and Mr. Sherman during the former's re gent visit to Washington that looked to retaining the secretary at the head of the treasury department. Gen. Garfield did hot hesitate to say that it would embarrass him to ba obliged to make known any conclusions aa to parsons before the time in February when the declaration of the electoral count is made. He further tald that , as he now viewed the matter , it might seriously embarrass him to ask Mr. Sherman to remain. As to what the situation might prove to be a little later , ho could not now judge. So far as has been learned by those who have been EXCEEDINGLY AIJXIOUS TO ASCERTAIN [ whether any part of the cabinet problem has been solved , Gen. Garfield - field expressed no preferences , as to persons , though he asked a number or callera as to Iheir views. For in- afanco , several were asked what they thought of Senator Elaine for the treasury. The only deCnito expres sion of opinion by Gen. Garfield that has become known in regard to the trehjury , is one to the effect thatcou- EirlerinK the magnitude of the New York custom house and its necessary relation to New Yorknolltics , It would not be boat to have a New York man at the head of the treasury depart ment also. The expression of this opiniok was so DECIDED that it has led those who know of it to ba fully satisfied in theirown minds that the secretary of the treasury will not bo taken from New York. The conference between Secretary Sher man and Gen. Garfield left the matter of the retention of the former open to this extent : that it was not finally decided In the negative ; Unless , "however , that matter is reopened within a few days by Gen. Garfield , Secretary Sherman's friends will re gard the secretary as fully in the fielu ( tor the senatorship. If ho should be elected to the senate , ho would not re linquish the place for a cabinet posi tion , and 1I1S FRIENDS are equally certain that he would not accept such position if ho should make the race and bo defeated. Of his suc cess , however , before the Ohio legis lature , the most sagacioits politiclons of that state entertain no doubt what ever. It is not-known here that the friends of any one besides Secretary Sherman are expecting Gan. Garfield to retain any of the present cabinet While he was here Secretary Schnrz took occasion to have Gen. Garfield Informed that ho regarded it as very Important to the business interests of the country to hava Secretary Sher man retained , as well as important to the party. Further , Sacretary Schurz desired it understood that ho saw in such retention no fair ground for a feeling on the part of any of the present cabinet that it would be an in vidious discrimination. Commissioner ttaum's Report. 8peKl dispatch to The Hoc. WASHINGTON , December 4 1 a. m. The annual report of the commis sioner was submitted yesterday to the secretary of the treasury. The com- mlsdoner ia gratified at the manifest improvement made in the condition of the internal revenue service , and at the progress made in the suppres sion of the manufacture of illicit spirits and tobacco. The frauds upon revenue and resistance of authority are almost exclusively confined to new localities. The hearty co operation of the cfilera of the department in the en forcement of the laws , has gone a great way toward establishing the au thority of the government in all sec tions of the country , and greater har mony exists between the taxpayers and , thjJ government than ever before. The receipts of internal revenue for the focal year 1879 , were $113,449- 021.38 , showing an increase of $2,795,458.01 upon the previous year The receipts for the fiscal year 1880 , In the face of the redaction of the tax on tobacco , wcra § 123,931,910 10 , showing an increase of $10,532,294.- 72.

Spedal Dispatch to The Eei. liONDoK , December 4 1 a. m. The Agenco Rupse , a journal which , although often rebuked by the gov ernment , Is quite as often furnished with trustworthy information , yester day made the inlportant declaration that Russia shares the views of Eng land in regard to the course to be ul timately pursued concerning the east ern * question , but places above her own preferences the maintenance of European concert , which the Russian government holds to bo the solo guar- unty of peace.

Gould and Colorado. Denver Tribune. The Colorado Farmer , in an article on Gould's work in the state , says : "And while doing these good things , ho will be binding the chains of his enormous and soulless corporations around the interests and prosperity of our people , will tighten the pressure jnst to the point where the people can live and moderately prosper and not rebel. The great additional percent age of their gains will be by his skill ful , artful and superb management , added to his already enormous wealth. Now is the time for our people to erect legal safeguards for the protection of their rights and their future welfare. They must no longer listen to the de lusive plea. 'Wait until their roads are finished and then we will regulate them. ' Wo say if you wait until then you will be powerless to help your selves. Look at California. " The allusion to California is an apt one. No state has Buffered more from railroad tyranny than the leading one on the Pacific coast. There the rail roads have the people by the throat. They make what rates they please , and maintain them. If the wheat crop is large the roads arrange their ratio of freights. Ii the wheat crop is small they arrange their ratio of freights. In either event they come out ahead and the farmer always be hind. Fully one-half- the stagna tion of business in Colifornia to-day ia duo solely to the tyranny of rail roads. This more than anything else , carried through the new constitution. Gould has done nothing for Colora do. Ho has not built a < mile of road in the state. It has been his policy to absorb , not to construct. Heja a dan gerous man , and one who must be held down by every obstruction which leg islation can supply. Whore ia there a merchant in Colorado who can truth fully say that Gould haa worked for the common interests of the state ? The freight tariff which he has estab lished is enormous and exorbitant. The passenger tariff which he has established haa been in keeping. His course has been one which can call forth no defense. He has exacted every ounce of flesh and taken the blood , too. and he will , if he cap , carry his power even further. It may as well bo recognized now as at any other time that Jay Gould is a dan gerous man , and that every step In advance he takes will be a step back wards for the state. Whatever can he done to cut down his strength should bo done. Three of n Kind. Special DlapaXcn to the Bee. NEW YORE , December 3 4 p. m.

Judge Dundy Decides the Ponca-Sioux Indian Case in Favor of the Former , And Says Uncle Sam Had no Right to Meddle With the Lands. The aait brought by the Ponca trlbo of Indiana plaintiff , ag&inat Makh-pl-ln-tab , or Red Cloud , ia his own behalf and in behalf of the Sioux nation of Indiana , defendants , was decided by Judge Dandy , in the United States circuit court , yester day. day.This This suit waa brought by Messrs. Poppleton and Webster , who have prosecuted the various suits on behalf of the noble red man during the past two years , and was an action in eject ment instituted for the purpose of de termining the title of the Poncas to the lands ceded to them by the United States under the treaty of 18G5. In every provision of this treaty , and in the treaty of 1858 , the Ponca tribe is the party treated with by the United States , and by it , it is claimed that the title became vested in them as a tribe. By article 1 of the treaty of 18C5 the Poncas ceded and rellnguiahed to the United States a portion oi their present reservation , estimated to con tain 30,000 acres. The granting part of article 2 reads as follows : "In con sideration of the cession or release of that portion of the rc3srvuticm above described by the Ponca tribe of In dians to the govarnment of the United States , the government of the United States , by way of rewarding them for their constant fidelity to the govern ment and citizens thereof , and with a view of retnrning to the said tribe of Ponca Indians their old burying grounds and cornfields , hereby cede and relinquish to the tribe of Ponca Indians" the land in controversy. It appears from the terras of the treaty that the United States not only transferred the title of the lands to the Poncaj , bat also surrendered the pos session thereof without the intention of resuming tlie possession. The United States by a subsequent treaty with iho Sioux nation of In diana sought In terms to transfer the same lands to them , and under this treaty the Sioux now claim title to them. The pointed brief submitted by the counsel for the plaintiff further claims that if the Poncas acquired a title in fee simple , , they had and still have , a vested right in the lands , which can not be dlvested by congress , without their consent , and upon adequate con sideration. If , however , the right rf the Poncas was only a right of occu pancy , congress bad no right to divert the landa to other purposes , the riaht of the Poncas to occupancy bcln as sacred as that of the United States to the fee. It could not therefore have boon the purpose of the government to transfer to the Sionx the lands al ready set apart to the Poncas , and the Sioux treaty will be constructed not to include the Ponca reservation. Numcroui authorities ara cited in support of the position taken by the counsel for plaintiffwho "believe that the Ponca tribe of Indians is tntitltd to the foe and occupancy of their old renorvatlon. " The jndgtnont of the court is as follows : Thai Hie Pouc iriljtf ol Indian * , plaintiff , has a legal estate In and m entitled to the possession of the real property described in the petition , and that the Sioux nation of Indians , unlawfully keeps it , the Ponca tribe of Indian3out of tha possession of the same , and the court does assess the damages of the plaintiff , by reason of the premises , at the sum of $1. It la thereforti considered by tha court that the plaintiff recover from the defendant the real property described - ' scribed in the petition , to-wit : All the Islands lying i the Niobrara river and south of the middle of. the main channel of slid Niobrara river , and within townships thirty-one (31) ( ) , and thirty-two (32) ( ) , north and within ranges six ( G ) , seven (7) ( ) , eight (8) ( , nino(0) ( ) , and ten(10) ( ) , westof the sixth principal meridian of Kansaa and Ne braska , and within the district and state of Nebraska.
