A Iinnnr Inv Cnnnint.

Washington, Oct. l5,-Governor Till
mon OF South Carolina was at the
treasury department today and had an
Interview with Commissioner Miller
OF the internal revenue bureau in re-
gard TO question on which there
seems to be a conflict between federal
and state authority. Under the dis
pensary laws OF the state of South
Carolina distilled spirits in the custody
OF the United States In bonded ware
houses belonging 10 parties who have
violated the provisions OF the dispen-
sary law by selling them within the
state are declared to be a nuisance and
on conviction the state authorities are
authorized to seize and conflscate all
such liquors In all such cases the
governor proposes to tender the tax
due the United States and seize the
liquor, contending that the federal
authorities have no right TO interfere
In the matter. Commissioner Miller
took issue with the governor and cited
several decisions of the courts. among
them one by the supreme court of the
United States, wherein 1t was held
that goods in bonded warehouses were
not subject to any process or proceed
ing Issuing from state court and that
no long as the government retained
possession Of the goods Its Jurisdiction
and authority was supreme. No final
decision, however, was reached and II
is probable that in Difference to the
wishes Of Governor Tillman the ques-
ton will be referred to the attorney
general for an opinion.

Washington, Oct. l5.-Judge Advocate
Lemly of the navy has Just returned
to Washington from New Orleans,
where he completed the purchase OF IA
tract of land adjoining the site for a
dry dock at Algiers opposite the city.
The price paid was $4,000. If small
estimate submitted by the bureau Of
yards and docks is allowed by con-
gress the ground will be cleared up
and put In shape SO that work can
begin on the new dock after congress
provides the means. The prospect OF
the establishment of a great dock
and naval station at the mouth of the
Mississippi river has directed the at
tention of the military authorities at
Washington to the necessity Of ex-
tending the general scheme of coast de-
Tense to that point. 1t is felt that the
absence OF modern defenses at the
mouth Of the great river is a fatal
weakness in the general system, as it
would afford an enemy the opportunity
of cutting the country In two and OF
paralyging the enormous International
commerce Of Ne valley.

claim exemption on grounds OF per-
sonal danger to them"
Jere Wilson. for the defense laid es-
pecial stress on the plea that the
resolution did not show on It's face
that II was the purpose of the senate
TO take action on the results OF the
committees Investigations. Mr., VIII
son maintained that the buying and
selling Of stocks, matters OF daily oc-
currence in every commercial center
OF the world was as legitimate us the
buying and selling OF horses or rice.
or anything else. He characterized
this attempt to Investigate such al
legged speculation Of the senate as an
impertinence. an aimless injury de-
signed to cast a slur on somebody.
Inc real point at issue was whether
the resolution was such a one as
would justify citizen in refusing TO
TESTIFY concerning his private affairs.
Inc plea could not be set up that as
the senate had the power TO expel Its
members this Information was neccs-
sary to that body. lie asserted that
the senate never intended to expel
any member. The history OF the in
Nestigation showed that at least one
senator had openly said: Yes, /
bought sugar stock, what are you go
ing TO do about it," whereupon, said
Mr. Wilson, the senators from way
back and everybody else held their
peace Judge Wilson argued at length
on the analogy, but when the senate
resolution and the resolution OF the
house Of representatives In 1878 under
which Hallet Kilbourne was arrested
for refusing to testify and which the
United States supreme court held did
not contain upon Its face any purpose
to do anything in the future and sus-
tanning Kilbourne in refusing to show
his private records.
He cited number OF other cases
and concluded by declaring that II
the citizen was not protected against
such inquiries the invasion OF the
rights OF the citizen would be abso-
lutely in distress and the sanctity of
his private affairs would cease. Con-
gress must be taught lesson. The
court took the motion 10 dismiss on
demurrer under advisement and will
render its ruling In few days

Exceptions IN The BURR Case.
It Is Alleged in Them That Commits
sioner Hawley and Juror Van
Mort Went Too Far.

The finding of the jury Of inquisi.
ton in the case of DIR. A. L. Burr, de-
claripg that ne is an habitual drunk
ard. was filed in court yesterday.
The verdict was arrived at on Jan, y
aud is that DR.. Burr has been an habit
ual drunkRrd for the past year; that
he possesses property worth 800, 600; +;
that he is SO years Of age and has Il
wife and two daughters. Lois NJ. Burr.
aged 1S and Natalie Burr. aged 8 years.
Court confirmed the finding OF the
jury nisi, and afterward allowed At
torneys Hulslander g. Vosburg, who
represent DR.. Burr, to file exceptions
to it.
They are five in number. The prin
cipal obisction is that while the jury
was delibsrating Charles F. Van Mort.
one of the jurors, saidto the Others
that he lived near Dr. Burr and was
we'll informed as to his condition, dis.
position, etc. He said that DR.. Burr
was msmauaging aud wasting his es-
tate. That he had neglected to pay
the interest on his mortgages and his
pTODoIl1 WOulu oOOh hhNc w bo oOih W
the injury OF his family. 1t il also
alleged that Mr.. Van Mort made other
statements calculated to prejudice the
jurors against DR.. Burr.
The exceptions also set forth that
Attorney Hawlsy, the commissioner
appointed by the court to conduct the
inquisition, went into the jury room
while the jurors were celebrating and
told them that it would make no diff.
ference If they found DR.. Burr an hab
itual drunkard, as the whole proceed
ings could be set aside within ninty
days. The ruling of the commissioner
is also objected to for tho reason tina
he refused to allow certain testimony
concerning the manner in which Dr.
Burr managed his estate.
If the court refuses to allow tho ex-
ceptions after considering the case. Dr.
Burr's attorneys will take steps to have
the case heard in court before a jury.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Jessul
asked the court to appoint Attorney w
j. Hand receiver of the estate of DR.
Burr.
