WANT THEIR MONEY BACK.
Applications Made for the Refund of In.
 come Tax Payments.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The internal revenue bureau has already received a number of applications for the refund of the amounts paid as income taxes prior to the decision of the United States court declaring the law to be unconstitutional. The blank form of application for the refund was sent out about ten days ago and almost immediately they began to return from nearby points. The question whether the commissioner can repay the amounts without formal authority from congress has never been formally raised, but the officials have no doubt that the law authorizing the commis- sioner to refund internal revenue taxes wrongfully collected will be held, to apply to taxes collected on incomes. The amount collected does not exceed SS3,OOO.

SUGAR NEGOTIATIONS.
Chief Statistician Ford Makes a Statement
 of Port Receipts.


 WASHINGTON, July 6.-Worthington C. Ford, chief of the bureau of statis- ties, has returns on the imports of sugar at all the leading ports of the United States receiving that article. The returns from San Francisco are not yet in, but they will not materially modify the question of duties, as nearly all sugar coming through San Fran cisco is of Hawaiian origin and there fore entered free of duty, The six ports give total importation of 353,- 5G7, 945 pounds, valued at S6,s51, ,O55. The importation is, therefore, much less than in the month of May, which is much less in quantity than the i'm ports made in June, ls9i, and only about one-half in value.

continued until tomorrow" said Martin
Julian in Judge Joseph w Martins
court this afternoon.
Had a bomb been exploded in the
temple of justice it would have created
scarcely less sensation among the
throng of interested spectators than
did Julians words.
"Oh, what a fiuke''
HE don't want to go to Hot
Springs"
We'll, what do you think Of that?'
These are fair samples of the ex-
pressiOns of utter disgust which flew
from mouth to mouth as the disap-
pointed crowd filed out of the court
room close upon the heels of Martin
Julian and Robert Fitzsimmons as they
made their way back to their suite Of
rooms in the Capitol hotel in custo-
dy of two deputies of Pulaski.
For an hour before the time set for
the hearing of the case. a dense crowd
of people had swarmed in and about
the courtroom within which Fitzsim-
mons and Julian We're to answer war
rants charging them with
Contemplating Assault on Corbett
and requiring them to keep the peace.
Julian had told every newspaper man
who came within hailing distance that
he was just aching TO reach Hot
Springs. All morning he had been say
ing that he would be released on bonds
this afternoon and go to Hot Springs
tonight to claim the $1,000 forfeit of the
Florida Athletic club, after securing
which Fitzsimmons was ready to fight
Corbett tomorrow on any terms the
champion might name.
Mr.. Julian early in the day received
a telegram from Hot Springs stating
that Colonel George F. Murphey
would be here to defend him in behalf
of the club When the Hot Springs
train came, however, it was found that
the lawyer was not aboard and would
not arrive until tomorrow. Then JUL
ian said that he would plead his own
case. He would go into court and
demand his liberty, give any amount of
bond required and proceed to Hot
Springs and force Corbett to fight or
leave the country. After the counsel
for the state had moved for a cOntin-
uance until tomorrow, Julian readily
acquiesced as above stated and those
ardent admirers of the New Zealander
who have firmly maintained that Julian
and Fitzsimmons are anxious to reach
Hot Springs could hardly believe their
ears.
