THE TAX Is LEGAL.
Express Companies Must Pay a
Missouri Levy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The United
States supreme court today affirmed the
decision of the lower court in the suit
brought by the Pacific Express company
against James Seibert and John NJ.
Wood, auditor and attorney general. re-
spectively, of the state of Missouri.
BY this suit the express company sought
to restrain and enjoin the collection of
a tax of 81 on each Sle0 of receipts,
levied by an act of the state legislature
against express companies doing BUSH
ness within The state.
The company'S bill represented that
if the tax were levied on all the COM
pany's business within the state. in
clading that done partly in Missouri
and partly in other states, the tax
would amouns to $4,000, and If levied
on business done entirely within the
state to $1,000. The unconstitutional
part of the act was allowed to be its in
reference of interstate commerce: also
as vIolatiye of the fourteenth amend
ment, giving equal protection to al, and
also as contrary to the provision of the
Missouri state constitution requiring
that all laws shall be uniform.
The court, in an opinion by Justice
Lamar, says that the contention that the
tax is levied upon interstate commerce e
is unSOund. 1t says that the tax does
not relate to Interstate business, but en-
tirely to intra-state business, and is eX-
preSsly limited to receipts for business
done entirely within the state, and that
it was not the intention of the legisla-
ture to interfere with or tax interstate
commerce i'll any way whatever. The
other points raised, it also holds, are not
well taken, for the reason that the tax
applies equally to all companies doing
an express business.

DoNNELLY's FUSION.
He Wants to Unite With Men, Not
Parties

He W ants to Unite With Men, Not
Parties.
Late in the evening the hosts gathered
at the st. James hotel, Minneapolis,
and held an informal mass meet
ing. which was addressed by sew
eral of the Alliance leaders.
The meeting was called to order
by o. W. Kingsbury, and eX-Speaker
Champlin was chosen chairman. He
introduced Ignatius Donnelly, who
spoke as follows:
IF the Alliance is, as the newspapers
have for the past few months been try
ing to convince us, dead, am glad to
see that it is not buried yet. The Al
lance is growing stronger every day,
my friends. We have during thetpast
few days had great deal said Of fusion,
and | want to say a few words to you of
fusion. | am in favor of fusion with
the workingmen who have invited us
here and furnished us hall to meet in;
| am in favor of a fusion with every
honest Democrat as an individual, who
will fall into line and adopt our prin-
cipleS, and the same with the Repub
licans.
Il have been in great many places
lately and everywhere nave found the
feeling stronger than two years ago, and
| want to say that in spite or the great
disadvantages under which we have
labored, the Alliance has accomplished
great deal. We certainly have labored
under great disadvantages. Look at the
last legislature. We could not get from
the Dem0craticS or Republicans, or
from both together, enough votes to
accomplish the reforms we demanded.
although the platforms of both parties
profess those principles and they are
pledged to them. What is the remedy?
Why. to brush these creatures aside.
Gentleman, have stood at the cradle of
the Republican party, and L feel as
though now stood at its grave"
Referring to the history Of the Repub-
lican party, he said:
The time was when the party was
opposed to slavery, and there was not a
man in il who was not opposed to it;
but now things are changed. They
have put down black slavery, but white
slavery has taken its place. Slavery IS
but the appropriation of the earnings Of
those who work by those who do not"
Here he proceeded to condemn monOp-
olies and trusts i'll the strongest terms,
and. during the course Of his remarks.
said:
Il hope the time will come when we
can see the men who operate the mar
kets of Minnesota, looking out through
the bars at Saltwater
In conclusion. he said: THE only
enemy we have is the man who is trying
to sell us out, and let us throw all such
over the battiementS.
Mr.. Donneily was followed by S. NJ.
Owen and Senator Page, of Austin, who
made brief addresses.

GARzA's FORCE SCATTERED.
Revolutionists Being Driven Off
Texas Soil.

heVCfutIOniStS Being Driven Oh
Texas Soil.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 4.-Tele-
graphic communication between the
military headqua tiers here and the
posts on the border has been re-estab-
liShed. AdviceS were received today
that the scouting of the last few days
indicates the scattering of GarZa's
forces on Texas soil; that they are
either hiding or have taken refuge in
Mexico. Either result is possible, con-
sidering the vast stretch of broken and
bushy country on both sides of the Rio
Grande and the sparse means of COM
munication.
Minister Romere's assertion at Wash
ington that prominent Mexican citi-
zen was being held by Cara at Celia del
Prieto proves to be unfounded. Capt.
johnson, of Fort Brown. telegraphs
Capt. j. P. Martin, adjutant Of this
post, that he has just returned from
scout of forty-five miles up the Rio
Grande and searched several ranches,
but found no revolutionists. Thirty Mex
lean troops acted in concert with him,
proceeding on the Mexican side. Troop
d, Third cavalry, under Capt. George
Chase, LETT Fort Ringgold today with
detachment for GarZa'S supposed head
quarters at Palette Blanco in Duval
county. Capt. Hunter. with another
detachment of Third cavalry, proceeded
from Fort Mcintosh to Los Angeles in
the hope of coming I'D with the enemy.
Gen. Stanley has called upon United
States Marshal Fricke for additional
deputies to assist in preserving order

DAKOTA COUNTIES WIN.
Tyler's Case Dismissed-Also the
Manitoba's Case.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Chief Justice
Fuller today announced the decision of
the United States supreme court dis
missing for wantof jurisdiction the case
of Richard S. Tyler. plaintiff in error,
vs.. Cass County, North Dakota. This
was an action to recover money paid by
a tax title purchaser to the county at a
tax sale on the ground that the United
States had a. lien on the lands, which
were part of the Northern Pacific land
grant on which the railroad had not vet
paid the costs of survey, and that the
lands therefore could not be sold for
taxes. The court holds that there is a
failure on the record to establish a fed
eral question.
The court reversed the decision of the
supreme court of the territory of Da-
kOta in similar case i'll which the
Stutsnan company is appellant against
Charles S. Wallace. The court dis
missed for want of jurisdiction a case
brought by the ST. Paul Minneapolis &
Manitoba Railway company against the
County of Todd. in which the company
sought to have declared invalid a tax
levied against the company for lands on
which it had purchased timber rights,
the company contending that it con-
stituted an impairment of contract
under its charter.

DOES HE MEAN 1T.
The Sage Intimates Fusion May
Come Later On.

Yesterday afternoon DonnelIy was
cornered by GLOBE man and ques-
toned on some of the points that are
now agitating the Alliance men. and all
the voters of the state. for that matter.
From what he said then, taken in con-
junction with his speech last night, the
only possible deduction is that Donneliy
is in favor OF fUsing with the Democrats.
He will not openly commit himself to
that measure, but he talks as if ne be-
lieved it to be a good thing. He says,
however, that fusion will not be con-
sidered at this meeting of the Alliance.
He says it is too early to talk Of that.
When the proper time comeS-and by
that he meant next summer, when
the political plumS begin to sprout-
propositions from the Democrats look
ing toward fusion will be considered.
This is surprising, coming from Don
nelly, as it has been supposed all along
that he would fight any such action With
all his we'll known fighting yigor. He
said further that, in his opinion, Sena-
tor Davis would not be given re-elec-
ton. He thinks that Merriam will be
after the United States senatorship. He
says that Merriam will surely look that
way if be fails to secure the nomination
for the vice presidency. He added,
however, that Merriam's money will be
the only influence that will enable him
to grasp the senatorship. Donnelly
thinks that Sherman will be defeated in
the Ohio senatorial fight by the Blaine
men, who will rally to tue support of

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. = That the
United States supreme court is ten
aciogs of its dignity both parties to one
OF the many drummeis' tax cases from
Tennessee have discovered. Two terms
ago the case of Charles l.. Ficklen VS..
The Taxing District of Shelby County,
Tenn, was submitted under the rules in
printed briefs. The court made an
order subsequently setting aside that
submission. and ordering oral argument
before full bench. When the day set
for the hearing arrived, counsel on
either side failed to appear. The court
thereupon promptly dismissed the suit
for want of prosecution in the manner
directed by the court.
This rather astonished the attorneys.
and Ficklen'S counsel soon afterwards
came into court, begged its pardon, said
no contempt or discourteSy to the court
was intended. and that they were una
ware that the court intended its order as
a mandate. The court was then asked
to reinstate the case OH the docket.
Chief Justice Fuller today announced
that the court had decided to grant the
request. and had set the case down for
argument Jan. %, after previously as
signed cases.

A STRANGE SUIT.
Claim for a Fund by Murdered
Mans Widow.

WAN y w luO"s
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 4.-One of the
strangest suits ever filed in the courts of
this city was brought Saturday by the
wife of a murdered man to recover a
large sum of money raised by the
friends of the man who did the killing
and promised her on conditions that are
not set forth in the petition.
About four months ago Robert Skill
man, a travelling man, from this city,
was shot at Columbus. Ind, by Lambert
Goldsmith, also of Louisville. Sklllman
left wife and two children in poor cir
cumstances. Friends of Goldsmith,
mostly Hebre VS., raised a fund of some
thing like $4,000 which was to be given
the widow. This money was originally
invested in home, but the house did
not suit Mrs. Skillman, and was sold for
what it cost. The friends of Goldsmith
after this became uneasy and decided
not to give the money to Mrs. Skillman
until after the trial of Goldsmith. The
money, meantime. had been placed in
trust. Mrs. Skillman has no brought
suit to secure possession of this fund.

abandoned its public duty to subserye
its private ends. Anyone who knows
the process of railroad building knows
it is common thing to build up one
town and pull down another in this
manner. The established town offered
an insufficient bonus for a station some
times. The dissenting justices, he said,
thought that the courts had sufficient
power to restrain such proceedings.

They would also, he maintained, be a

as the Hoffman house remained and foot

city to make its streets public place

to remain just so long as the Repub-
