Nine Gases.

Washington, May 4.-Thirty-nine cases
went off the docket of the United States
supreme court to-day as the result of
session of two and half hours. OF these,
thirty were disposed of by decisions for
mally announced by the several members,
all Of them reading opinions save Justice
Field, and he filed one dissenting opinion.
Several of the cases were of more than
usual Importance, generally involving the
taxing powers of the states where the
cases originated, and two Of these were
settled only by bare majority Of the
court. In the case Of the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad Company VS. the state of
Tennessee, Chief Justice Fuller and
Justices Gray, Brewer and Shiras
dissented from the views and conclusions
of the majority. At the close of the ses-
sion Justice Fuller announced that the
court would adjourn until Saturday, May
20, and at the conclusion Of that days
session the court would stand adjourned
until the second Monday Of October next.

court, at least within the memory of the
present members or attaches, that Satur-
day has been fixed as the day of meeting

TILLMAN's TRADEMARK.
The Federal Supreme Court Afirms
the Decisions Against It.

Washington, May 14.-Gov. Tillman
has not only lost the right to sell whisky
in state dispensaries in South Carolina,
but his efforts to secure the registration
of the trademark therefor have been
in vain.
Commissioner Of Patents Seymour, it
will be remembered refused the applica-
tion of the attorney general of the state
to register the trademark Of palmetto
tree" selected TO identify the state dis
pensary whisky. In this position he was
upheld by the court of appeals of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, from which decision
Gov Tillman, by his attorney general, ap-
pealed to the supreme court
of the United States. But
Justice Gray, in an opinion rendered
to-day, said the supreme court of the
United States had no Jurisdiction of the
matter, as it did not come within the
scope of the law regulating appeals to the
supreme court of the United States, and
therefore dismissed the appeal.

Washington, May A. - The restless
Coxeyites made another move this morn

famous oldshostelry, ''The George Wash

dered them, and Browne and Coxey late
last night determined 10 move their
ragged Falstaliian army out of Hyatts-
vile into Bladensburg. They were induced
TO make this change for several reasons,
principally on account of the inaccessi-
bility of the camp and small gate receipts.
The new grounds are inclosed by a high
fence, so that the managers will be able
to exact an admission fee from all Wis
itors The move was made at 8 o'clock

the city. It was in effect, tax on inter-
state commerce. Justices Brown and

The article states that the sugar trust
not only paid $780, 900 for the legislation
it wants, but also guaranteed the United
States senators who speculate rise of 30
points in Wall street on Sugar Trust

SENATORS SHEER AT THE STORY.
Washington, May 1.-THE story
printed in a New York paper this morn
ing purporting to relate how the Senate
and the members of the finance committee
capitulated to the sugar trust in the ar
rangement of the sugar schedule Of the
tariff bill, attracted some attention
among the senator's, but few of those
whose names are prominently mentioned
were present.
Senator Smith, of New Jersey, is absent
on account of sickness and MIR. German is
out of the city.
Senator Brice said he had glanced
through the article sufficiently to know
that there was no truth in il so far as
he had any knowledge in the matter.
Senator Jones, chairman of the sub
committee that fixed up the bill, said life
was too short to bother with the reading
of all the stories printed in the daily pa
pers concerning the working of the
finance committee and statements pur-
porting to give the reasons for the atti-
tude assumed by various senators.

CLIFFORD DOES A MILE IN A
Clifford did the best work to-day, for
he covered a mile in good style in l IA, and
seemed to move with more freedom than
he has shown since his arrival in the
east. He is sure to 60 to the post favor
ite, although it will be with the public
money, as the trainers and those who
practically live at the tracks
western representative. 1t was thought
to-day by many that he looked
trihe broken and did not sweat as a horse
of good condition after a gallop of that
nature His chances ought to be good, how
ever, for he has had the advantage of
racing this year, which none of the
others have, while against that is the
fact that he has come here a little later
than he should, according to the majority
of horsemen.
AJAX GIVEN wHIRL.
Ajax was out with Garrison in the sad
die, and worked a mile in :51, the last
furlong taking 12116 seconds.
Banquet and Don Alonzo galloped two
miles at two minute gait and both may
be seen at the post, but the latter is not
considered likely to be much more than a
pace maker for Banquet unless he has
changed materially from his condition on
Sunday.
Sport had his last exercise to-day on
the road to Bayonne and he is still bit
on the cross side. His owners are still
hoping that he will make up his mind to
run when he gets to the post with the lot,
and that he will repeat his work of last
spring, when he defeated some of the
horses who are with him tomorrow.
Sport, however is an eccentric animal
and may not even be persuaded to try.
LAST YEARS WINNER.
Dlablo was out with Pessara and last
years winner moved well, although he
was not tried to any extent. He does
not appear to be at all lame, but he will
not have the services of Taral
this year to rate him along
at comfortable pace, and
then seizing the opportunity, jump into
the lead at a time when it is too late to
catch him. His victory year ago is
looked on as deal of fiuke, and few ex-
pect to see it repeated, although those
who were fortunate enough to have some
thing on him then will not let him run
loose this time.
Bassetlaw was out for an easy gallop
but did not show up as well as was ex-
pected, and while Matt Allen thinks that
he will get the biggest part of the money,
few agree with him.
DR.. Rice was at the track for quiet
canter and then went back to Sleeps
head Bay for breather of a mile which
he did in good shape. Taral is confident
of winning and thinks that he has the
best of the lot to ride.
Comanche was worked a mile and a
half at an easy clip, and Mclaughlin
thinks the winner will be munching oats
in his stable tomorrow night.
LowLANDER TAKES A GALLoP.
Lowlander, the winner of last years
suburban, went Tor gallop over the
same course as Sport, and while his
work of Sunday was by no means
satisfactory to Lowe, the horse is
expected to do better in the race. Bit
zen got breather, but his owner is
hoping for rain as the only chance for
him. Copyright did mile in 1:50,
and seemed to be little short of
work. Herald went mile at little
better than 2-miuute clip and Long
Beach did the same thing. The former

Very little has been known of him since,
until he turned up here as a delega te,
though the Belgian, French and German
police are supposed to have been on the
lookout for him. De F'uisseaux was or
dered to leave Germany within the day,
and took his departure at once.
