Supreme Court Decisions.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE United
States supreme court today decided a
case involving the constitutionality and
validity of the law of Pennsylvania,
taxing the Pullman Palace car company,
on basis proportionate to the number
of miles of railway within the state
over which the company's cars run, COM
pared with the total number of miles of
railroad in the United States, over which
the cars run. The court holds that the
law is constitutional and not in violation
of the interstate commerce law.
The court also decided in the same
way case from Massachusetts, involv-
ing practically the same question, as ap-

''As the representative OF the Chilean
government here have taken every
precaution against any such things
as weapons or explosives going
aboard. l have employed detec-
tives day and night to guard
the Montserrat, that nothing can get
aboard without previous examination.
At night l have the vessels sides illum-
mated brightly. The firm of j. w.
Grace & Co, are as desirous as am that
nothing but legitimate cargo be taken
aboard, and the Montserrat, you can
rest assured, will have nothing contra

THE CHARLEsToN's PROGRESS.
SAN PEDRO, May 1.-THE cruiser
Charleston, which arrived off here last
evening at O'Clock, remained until 5
O'Clock this morning, at which hour she
left, going south.
SAN DIEGO, May 11.-The steamer

full steam and heading southeast.
SECRECY MAINTAINED AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, May 11.--The air of Sc
crecy surrounding the Itata case was
Just as pronounced as ever at the navy
department today, and it is evident that
the officials have no desire to take the
public into their confidence. The con-
viction is, however, general that the
United States ship Charleston went out
with secret orders to capture the
Chilean steamer. Just how far these
orders extend, or how much authority
they vest in Captain Remy, is still un-
known, and none of the officials here
will venture to give any information
on the subject. The order, it is said,
was long one, and was wired west in
the cipher of the bureau of navigation.
1t took the officers four or five hours to
translate the orders into cipher. 1t is
said there is information in the hands oi
the government to warrant the belief
that the Itata will be next heard Of
touching at Mexican port, and it is
probable that the Charleston will make
her first stop about midway down the
west coast of Mexico, in the hope o.
picking up hints as to her whereabouts
SOLICITOR TAFT ORDERED TO LOS ANGELES

dence, however, the. district attorney
yesterday moved that the second charge
against them be dismissed, which was
accordingly done. The two convicts
left on the l:30 train for the north, IN
charge OF Deputy Sheriff Russell, who
will land them safe within the walls OF
the penitentiary at San Quentin.
THE LEoNIs WILL CASE.
The Leonis will contest was again IN
progress before Judge Clark yesterday.
Quite number OF witnesses were exam
ined on behalf OF the widow, Espiritu
Leonis, the taking OF evidence for the
other contestants not having been
reached as yet. The only new feature
of any interest in the testimony was to
the effect that Leonis had on at least a
few occasions introduced Espiritu as his
wife, using the Spanish word "esposa''
instead OF "muier," the latter word
signifying simply woman" while the
former literally means "wife." The
case will come up again at 10 O'Clock
this morning, and will continue
probably until Thursday.

WHOLESALE KILLING.
A Sensational Tragedy Enacted in East
Tennessee.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 1.-THE de-
tails of murderous affray, which oc-
Cured on Wolf creek, near the North
Carolina line, are received here. Jona-
than Bell, an old and well-to-do man.
lost his wife by death six weeks ago
After two weeks he married girl II
years old, greatly to the disgust of his
family. As time passed they grew more
dissatisfied, and finally they went in q
body to the old mans home, and taking
his young wife out, stripped her and
gave her 100 lashes. On the following
day, on complaint of the elder Bell and
one John Ballew, the whippers were
arrested, but were released on bonds.
Then. they went to Ballew's house to
punish him for interfering. Ballew re-
sisted, and in a battle which followed
John Bell was killed; "Big" and wild
Bill" Bell, Hiram Morton, Jack John
son and three others were fatally shot.
Johnson and "Big" Bell have since died,
and it is said the others are dying.
There have been no arrests. Both sides
are armed for more warfare.

The Railroad Commission.

SAN Francisco, May 1.-THE regular
weekly meeting of the railroad commits
sioners was held today. In the matter
OF the complaint of the Santa Clara Mill
and Lumber company against the
Southern Pacific company, which states
that the rates charged the plaintiffs for
shipments are greatly in excess of the
charges for the same distance over any
other railroad leading into San Jose,
the board ordered that the Southern
Pacific company be given fifteen days in
which to answer.
The Southern Pacific company filed
its reply to a petition recently urging
that the company arrange for the carry
ing Of passengers on freight trains, and
states that, owing to their desire to ac-
commodate the public, they will extend
freight train privileges over such por-
tions of their lines as the considera-
tions will safely permit.

LABOR WITHOUT PAY.
The Attaches ofthe Nevada Indian School
Asked to Work Gratis.

CARSON, New, May 1.-THE appro-
priation for the Stewart institute, the
Nevada Indian school, having run short,
word was received from Washington by
Superintendent Gibson, that the en-
ployees who desired to remain must
work from May 10th to July 1th with
out compensation of any kind, and must
also pay the government the regular
rates for board and lodging during this
time, as before. Considerable dissatis-
faction has been awakened. The
principal teacher, the seamstress,
assistant matron and industrial
teacher have passed in their resigna-
tions. Several other attaches have
agreed to remain without compensation,
along with the uperintendent. The fu-
| ture outlook at the school is very bright.
Nearly every acre is under cultivation,
which, if neglected for any length of
time, will go to ruin. Fruit trees have
been planted, windmills, shops, ETC.,
put up, which, in conjunction with the
school and home industries, furnishes
work and education for over one hun
dred Indian boys and girls.

Forced into Bankruptcy by Fire.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Belding Motor
and Manufacturing company made an
assignment this morning; liabilities,
$l75,0OO, of which 100000 is for bor-
rowed money. The assets are not
scheduled, but are thought not to ex-
ceed the liabilities. The suspension
was caused by two disastrous fires that
ruined the company's stock and shops
at Hermosa, and by the failure of capi-
talists to fulfill their promises of fnan-
cial SunnOrt.

THE NATIONAL MILLERS.
Proceedings of the Fifteenth Annua
Convention in New York.

Proceedings of the Fifteenth Annual
Convention in New York.
New YORK, May 1.-THE fifteenth
annual convention of the Millers' Ma
tional association began this afternoon,
250 members OF the organization, from
all parts of the country, being present.
President James made his annual ad-
dress. in which he mentioned that the
past year had been a prosperous one,
and that the treasury was in good con-
dition.
The secretary's report showed that the
aggregate capacity of all the mills run
by members of the association, May 1st,
based on a conservative estimate, was
10000 barrels for each twenty-four
hours.
The report of the committee on the
West India Touring trade, appointed at
the last convention, reported the pro-
gress of the reciprocity negotiations.
In his report on the matter of legisla-
ton, the secretary said the question OF
a uniform bill of lading will be brought
before the convention. The uniform
export bill of lading has not yet been
put in use, but the secretary has exam
ined the form, and finds it an improve
ment in many respects on the old. tits
receipt for the goods, and an agree
ment to carry them with reasonable dis
patch to seaport and proffer them to
the steamship lines there under about
the same conditions contained in the
domestic bill of lading. "This simplifes
the matter for u.s." says the secretary,
"and locates the responsibility for any
obnoxious provisions that the bill may
contain. In they be in the transporta-
ton section, we can strive to correct
them with the American railways; and
if in another portion, and the steamship
lines refuse all concessions to us, we have
some evidence to substantiate our asso-
