DRY GOODS AND THE TARIFF.-The facts
communicated by ex Mayor Hodges to yes
terday's San as to the effect of the McKin-
ley bill on prices of dry goods make
'srnighty interesting reading" Heads of
families already fancy their bills are saw
full" but the Mckinley act will add new
horror to their existence. Henrietta cloth,
M. Hodges tells us, costs in England so
cents yard. II costs something to bring it
over the Atlantic. The existing tariff adds
27a cents yard to the price, SO that when
il gets on the counters of the retailer it costs
the shopper %1.95 yard. The Mckinney
bill will bring it up 10 $1.40 yard. Fash.
ionable dress goods, costing II cents a yard
abroad, are advanced by the present tariff
to 375 cents yard, but Mckinley will adj
vance them to Do cents. Hosiery costing 81
a dozen in Germany will be advanced by
the robber tariff act TO So a dozen. Com
peting domestic goods will be advanced by
the operation of the act in the same proper
ton IL is nonsense, in view Of facts like
these, to say that every man, woman and
child in the country is not injured by the
''proteetive" policy. Making prices high

Virginia Coupon Cases Decided by the Su-
preme Court.

The Supreme Court of the United States
Monday decided several Virginia coupon
cases, holding that coupons are not receiv-
able for liquor licenses and the special school
tax, but deciding against the State on other
points.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Bait. Sun says
1.-THE Supre ne Court of the United States
Monday decided two important points in IA
vor of the State OF Virginia in the famous
coupon litigation. The first of these points
is that the coupons are not receivable in
payment for liquor licenses, the State hav-
ing full power TO regulate the liquor traffic
and to Impose sEch conditions as it may
deem to be for tho public good. The sec
oud point in fovoc OF the State is that the
coupons cannot be used in payment of the
special school tax, which by the State con-
stitution, adopted in 1869, swo years before
the bondholders' contract, is required to
be kept separate and distinct from other
State funds. Ali the other points were de-
cided in favor of the bondholders Mr..
Justsoe Bradley delivered the opinion of the
court in all the cases, aud intimated that
the State and the boGdhoiders should settle
their differences, aud that there should be
no "furLher exhibitions Of controversy
that has become @ yeX4tion -

PRINCIPLES ESTABLISHED.

The court began its opinion by stating
that whatever the indigdua opinions of
members of the court had b3en it could be
regarded as clear that the folio wing prop
ositions have been established: First, that
the act of 1871 constituted a contract be-
tween the State and the holders Of bonds
and coupons issued Hereunder; second, that
the various State statutes passed for the
purpose Of restraining the use Of the cou-
pons for the payment of taxes and other
dues to the State and imposing impediments
and Instructions to that use, and to pro-
ceedings instituted for the purpose of es-
tablishing the genuineness of the bonds, do
in many respects materially impair the OBJ
legation of that contract, and cannot be
b I'D to be valid; third, that no proceedings
can be instituted by any holder of State
bonds or coupons against the Common
w.alths. directly or indirectly, by suit
against her executive officers to control
them in the exercise of their official func
tions as agents of the State; fourth, that
any lawful holder of tax receivable coupons
who tenders such coupons in payment of
taxes or debts due the State, and continues
to hold himself ready to tender them, is en-
titled to be free from moleststion on &C.
count of such taxes Or debts, aud may vim
dicate such tights in all lawful modes Of
redress by suit to recover property or to re
cover damages by property taken by iujunc-
ton where the taking of tie property would
be attended with irredeemabls injury Or by
defense to any suit brought against him.
No conclusion short Of this can be ,egiti-
mately drawn from previous decisions with
out wholly everything and disregarding
many rulings. a thing the court would be
very reluctant to do. Exceptional cases
may arise, and these will be considered &C
oording to the particular circumstances IL
VOWED.
By these decisions it is not necessary to
produce the bonds from which the coupons
are cut in the payment of taxes-that cou-
pons can be rendered in payment of court
costs-that the law imposing license tax
of fcom $500 to 81, 900 and 20 per cent upon
sales of coupon brokers ia unconstitutional
that coupons are hot good in the payment
of liquor licsnsas-that the State is not
bound to recsive coupons in payment of
school taxes.

Pittsburg held a long secret conference
here yesterday. They declined to state the

The Pittsburg League Club has suffered
most, losing heavily from the start, and it
is said that they cannot stand the drain
much longer. There is talk OF its re.
moval to Indianapolis.
1t was understood yesterday that the
conference WAS held with the view of
changing dates to prevent conflict with
players in the schedule.

ing, of the Chicago National Lesgue Baseball
Club. talked with reporter to-day. "OIe

the wall; they cannot go on as they are
now doing. each cutting the others throat.
The public is being overdosed with base
ball, or rather with the fight for patronage
between the two leagues.
in view of the past history of their
players, the Brotherhood clubs should
draw far better than they do, for they con-
tain many men the most popular with the
crowds in the days gone by. On the part of
the National League, freely confess we are
not drawing satisfactory crowds. As the
situation stands, there is no money in il
for anybody. The two opposing leagues
are wsgiDg a war of extermination. 1t can
not last. One or the other must give way"

statement that 149 molders are now idle,
although when the strike commenced 1S6
men walked out.
The Executive Committee of the Union
is in receipt of a telegram from Rochester,
n. y, saying that only two of the last lot
OF twenty-five men arriving from the East
are molders, and warning the union not to
pay any of them cent of money to de-
sert the foundries, as they were of no ac-

Successful Trial Test of the Cruiser Phil

PHILADELPHIA, May Sth. - The new
cruiser Philadelphia returned yesterday
afternoon from her initial cruise with a
record which promises that, in her official
trip, she will prove one of the fastest war
vessels stioat. At 6 o'clock yesterday
morning anchors were weighed and the
cruiser was put out to sea.
AT o'clock the trial was begun, and
continued for three and q half hours, the
course being east-southeast from Cape Hen
lopen. The course gone over measured
about sixty-five miles. Captain Steele
threw the log at frequent intervals during
the trial, and the result gave the cruiser q
maximum speed of 20.74 knots an hour.
William Cramp, who was one of the firm
on board during ths trip, said: "The trial
was in every way success. While her
engines were run at "a high rate of speed,
and for long period, there was no heat
ing or trouble of any kind. No difficulty
whatever was experienced in keeping the
big head of steam. The steering gear
worked smoothly. and there were no bitches
of any kind to mar the success of the trial },
The builders of the Philadelphia are con-
fident that she will prove as fast, if not
faster, than her sister, the Baltimore, and
earn them handsome premium, under
the contract that the Philadelphia's horse
power is not to enter into the requirements
