F1oR1DA's SUPREME COURT.
Decisions Handed Down in Two I'm
portant Cases.


portant Cases.
Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. 16.-The SUI
preme court handed down opinions in two
important cases to-day. One is that known
as the Pintado grant, covering the water
front of Pensacola. Reversing the judg-
ment of the circuit court the supreme
court holds the grant by the Spanish in
tendent in 1917 to have been made with
out authority from the ,crpwp and to be
void. -s- flsr
The other is the Southern Express
Company case, involving the constitution
ahty of the license tax imposed by the
revenue act of 1898 on express companies
doing business in this state The com
pany contended that, as the greater part
of its business is interstate com
merce, the tax was unconsti-
tutional. The courts hold, however,
that the act does not tax in
terstate commerce, and that so long as a
company confines itself TO interstate COM
merce it is exempt from the tax and
license provisions of the statutes. But if
a company does state or local business it
cannot exempt itself from the tax by also
doing business that is interstate COM
MERGE as part of its business.

The Governor Too Fast in Imputing
Disloyalty.

Disloyalty.
Charleston, S. c., Jan. 16.-Some time
ago Gov. Tillman sent out a circular letter
to the mayors of all the cities and towns
in the state, calling their attention to the
new dispensary law, which provides that
unless the police of the municipalities en-
force the law against blind tigers the mu-
inequalities would be deprived of their
share of the revenue derived from She
state barrooms. Answers were re-
quested by the 18th inst. To-day
Mayor Ficken sent an answer of
Charlestons council. In his letter
to the board of control, of which the gov
ernor is the head, Mayor Ficken writes:
Our self respect cOmpels us to state that
the inquiry made in your communication
is not only without precedent, but that it
is highly Objectionable in that it implies
in advance of action, a doubt as to our
loyalty to the laws of the state which we
have solemnly sworn to obey. We cannot
suffer this imputation to pass without
rebuke.
1.-THE reference to the matter of revenue
is in the highest degree offensive to us and
must, of necessity, be so to every self-re-
speeding Official"
The mayor concludes: 1--WE beg to state
that the police force of Charleston will be
directed to discharge the duties imposed
upon them by the dispensary law. The
members of the force are cOnservators of
the peace, and it is their duty to main
tain, uphold and obey each and every
part of the statute laws of South Caro-

.nE RESULT IN oALIFonNIA.

San Francisco Nov. 7.-About half of
the entire vote of California has been
counted and the result indicates that
James II. Budd, democratic candidate for
governor, has plurality of between 5000
and 1000 votes. His plurality in this city
will probably amount to 10000 With the
exception of the supreme court Justices
and comptroller, sufficient returns have
not been received to Indicate which party
has been successful with the remainder
of the state ticket. The republicans have
elected one supreme court justice, Hen
shaw and the democrats the other two,
Temple and Bridgeford, the latter being
elected to fill the unexpired term. Col
gan, republican nominee for comptroller
is also elected by perhaps 5000 plurality.
The returns now indicate that the re-
publcans have elected six of the seven
congressman Mcguire, democrat, in the
! Fourth district is reelected while there
| is little doubt that Caminetti, the pres
| ent representative from the Second dis
trict, Deadly in the First and English in
the Third have been defeated. Not more
than one-fourth of the vote in the First
has been counted, but Barham, republican,
continues to gain There are no returns
to indicate the complexion of the legisla-
ture.
In this city 290 precincts give Budd,
