by going a few rods along the track of
the railway. A short distance from the
crossing she encountered some obstacles
over which she stumbled and fell and, feel
ing about I'm the dark. she was Mortified to
discover two huge powders and a quantity
of sidewalk planking placed on the track
with the intention of wrecking the passen-
ger train due at the crossing at 1:35. She
set to work with all her strength to move
the obstruction, but found it was utterly
impossible to bulge 1t. While Juggling at it
she heard the whistle of the locomotive as
it left Pasadena Station, which meant that
within a few minutes it would come whiz-

lamp and rushed out. The members of the
household thought she was crazy. She
reached the track just in time to flag and

The Danger of OverthrOwinE Previ-

1t will be remembered that Attorney-gen-
eral Oney, in his brief on the subject of a
rehearing, suggested that Congress could

refunding of these amounts If the decision
was to stand. Associate Justice Whites

made public to-day, also touched on this
point. He said. under the. income tax
laws which prevailed in the past for many
years and which covered every. conceiv-
able source of income. rentals from real
estate and everything else, vast sums were
collected from the people of the United
States. The decision here rendered an
nounces that those sums were wrong

enormous amount of money. Thus from the
change of view of this court 1t happens
that an act of Congress passed for the

with the oft repeated decisions Of this
court, furnishes the occasion for creating

his grievous injury, the equity endures and
will present itself to the conscience of the

Claims Against Hawaii Filed by
Americans Who Were Charged with
Conspfracy-Tilden's Fatal s1.'

WASHINGTON, April 2T.-The officials OF
the Navy Department are net.led by the
frequent severe criticisms on the insufi-
cheney of the naval ~rations, which emanate
from the Pacific coast ports. They nave no
hesitation in ascribing them to the gunboat
men and the keepers of shops patronized
by sailors who have been deprived of hand
some "pickings' from the sailors by the
enforcement of the order limiting the num-
Der of rations in a mess that may be COM
muted or turned into cash by the sailors
and spent ashore. The naval ration is fixed
by act of Congress, and it is not within the
power of any man, even of the Secretary
of the Navy, to change it, either by in
assert that it Is the most liberal of any
furnished to the sailors OF the naval pow
ers, and that a vast majority of the people
of America are not as we'll supplied with
good. wholesome food as are our sailors.
The ration as fixed by law includes the
following staples. all, 1t is said, in suffcient
quantity for any person: Bread, flour,
pork, beef, preserved meat, beans, peas,
rice. dried fruits, butter, tomatoes. coffee,
tea. cocoa, pickles, molasses, vinegar. fresh
meat and vegetables when within reach of
a market. The law is SO construed as 20 per-
these general heads For instance, the
sailor may have fresh soft bread or bis
cult. under the head of flour, or he may
have corn meal, hominy oat meal, rye and
cracked wheat. II he tires of beef and
pork, he may try mutton; veal and poultry,
or he can turn to canned corfled beef and
mutton, ham. bacon, sausage and fish. Any
kind of fresh vegetables the market af-
fords may go on the mess tables, and for
desert he can fall back on dried apples,
peaches, ~raisins, currants, prunes, figs and
dates. But the sailor who still has an I'M
gratified appetite may indulge it, for, in
every mess of twenty-fOur persons, six ra-
tions may be each day, yielding
s., so. which may be applied to the purchase
of iuxuries.
No distinction in persons is made in the
issue of the naval ration, and the admiral
commanding the fleet. receives the same
ration, no more nor less, that the youngest
apprentice aboard ship receives, and can re-
ceive only the same Communication, namely.
30 cents for each ration. The food supplied
the ship from the markets is most carefully
inspected when brought aboard the ship,
and, to insure good quality and good cook
cry, the captain tastes a sample of each
meal cooked for the men. No one can
withhold the full ration from a sailor, and
he has simply to ''go to the mast" to have
a complaint entertained. and if he persists
a board of three officers must be appointed
to inquire into it and see that the law is
complied with.
