A decision was rendered by the United States supreme court today In the ease of the Missouri. Kansas and Texas Railway company vs. the Board of Railroad and Warehouse commissioners of the state of Missouri. The case came to the supreme court on writ of error from the supreme court of the state of Missouri and the decision of the lower court was reversed. The opinion was handed down by Justice Brewer.

The principal point at Issue was on the question of the removal of the case to the Federal courts. The case Involves the legitimacy of the charge made by the railroad company for transporting passengers and freight cars across Its bridge over the Missouri river at Boonevllie. Mo. The state law fixes the rate for carrying passengers In Missouri at 3 cents per mile, and It seems that the railroad company attached an extra charge of 25 cents for transportation across the bridge and tbat an extra charge was also made for freight crossing the bridge. The practice was attacked by the railroad commissioners and suit brought In the state courts to enjoin the railroad company.

In the supreme court of the state the law was sustained. Application was made to remove the case to the Federal courts on the ground that the railroad company is a citizen of Kansas. The motion to this effect was overruled by the state supreme court, and It Is this opinion that Is now reversed. The case, therefore, goes hark for further proceedings.
