INCOME TAX AF TERMATH.
Commissioner MiIIer's instructions interest ing Story as to How the Decision
 Was Reached.

Washington, May 21.-Commissioner Miller this afternoon sent the following telegram to all collectors of internal rev enue in the United States:
 Dispense with services of all persons employed under allowances made for in- come tax work at close of business on the 25th instant, reporting at once num- Der discontinued and salary and eX- penses allowance of each.
 Many more or less ingenious specula- tions regarding the story of the last de- cision of the supreme court of the United States upon the income tax law have been circulated, and the supposed atti- tude of several of the justices thereto at various dates between the close of the re- argument and~the reassembling of the court yesterday have been set forth with much detail It may be worth while to state few facts concerning the decision and the preparation of opinions.
 There was but one formal conference by the justices of the court upon the in- come tax law subsequent to the reargu- ment. This conference was held on the 11th instant, and there was never any doubt after that conference as to the at titude of the several justiceS,or as to what the decision of the court would be, nor as to concurring or dissenting opin- ion. The rehearing of the case, it is au- thoritatively learned, was brought about in accordance with the long settled practice of the court as laid down in the case of Walker vs. the public schools of St. Louis. One of the jus tices presumably MT. Shiras, who voted with the four declaring the law con stitutional at the first hearing, expressed desire to have the case reargued, and communication was then had with Jus tice Jackson to learn if he could sit with the court. But had he not been able to come to Washington the rehearing would have been granted just the same The preparation of opinions was be- gun at once after the conference re- ferred to, and there is a good authority for saying that the judgment of the court was submitted in type to the sew eral judges as early as last Friday. Out side of the action of the justices them selves, the chief credit for securing the rehearing of the case is said, by those who are acquainted with the facts, to be due to MT. w. D. Guthrie of New York who opened the argument both on the original hearing and the rehear- ing.
 When the decision of the court was an, nounced on April B. MT. Guthrie was i'm pressed with the idea that upon a rehear- ing the majority of the court could be in duced to declare the whole law invalid and he advised that a rehearing be asked for. It is said that he was antagonize( in this by nearly all the array of eminen counsel engaged with him in the case F their view being that it would be best tC | hold to what they had rather than risl they knew not what. But he pressed tho matter so vigorously that at last his as soeiates were converted to his opinion

THE SEMINARIES.
Interesting Report to the Southern Presby-
 terian Assembly.

Interesting Report to the Southern Presby- terian Assembly.
 Dallas, Tex, May 21.-At o'clock this afternoon the Presbyterian general as- sembly was again called to order by the moderator. Dr. E. c. Gordon presented the report of the committee on theologi-
 cal seminaries. The report was agreed to, showing a marked advance in the finances of these institutions.
 Union seminary, Virginia, has seventy students, and there were sixteen gradu- ates. The divinity school of the South western Presbyterian university at Clarksville, Tenn, has thirty students, and five will graduate in June. Louis vile Theological seminary has six pro-
 fessors and fifty-two students; eight will graduate The equipment has been largely improved, and the endowment fund has been increased by gift of 900 from a gentleman of Kentucky. Another Kentuckian has bequeathed to
 it S2O000 and will pay interest on that sum during his lifetime. Columbia semi nary South Carolina, has thirty-seVen students; sixteen graduated; $700O has been added to the endowment in cash and S25. 900 in subscriptions. Austin sem mary did not render report. As in- structed by the last assembly, certain questions had been sent to the boards or trustees regarding an increase in the term from three to four years. TWO seminaries sent no reply, and none ap- near to favor it except Union of Vir- ginia. The total number of students en- rolled is three less than last year, but the general condition is better.
 ' The committee on narrative then sub nitted it's report through Rev. c. R. Hyde of Memphis. This paper was adopted. The narrative reviews the con- dition of the church, which 1t pronounces on the whole good It deplores grow ing tendency to desecrate the Sabbath and neglect family worship. It advises the sending out of a pastoral letter, warning against these evils.
 Greeting was sent to the Cumberland Presbyterian assembly at Meridian, Miss. Tonight there was rousng meeting in the interest of home missions. A large collection was taken up for the new work in New Mexico.

PREPARING FOR SUMMER.
A Vigorous Crusade to Be Made on tn
 Filth of the Citv

A Vigorous Crusade to Be Made on the
 Filth of the City.
 Now that summer is approaching the city fathers are preparing for war on the filth, which accumulates to such a great extent when neglected. A circular has been sent out to all portions of the city, telling the residents what must and what must not be done under pen alty of the law.
 The circular says all trash, garbage, slops, etc, must be put in barrels and not on the ground. Old clothes, tin cans, feathers, leaves, etc., must also be dis posed of in like manner.
 The circular instructs as to the keep ing of hogs in lots, the distance from res idences, @etc. Stables and kennels must also be kept cleanly.
 The trash wagon drivers have been provided with horns, and when the horns are blown residents are told to be on the lookout and see that the drivers get all trash in barrels on the premises.

UNJUST AND UNTRUE
Are the Reports as to Smallpox in Meridian American Legion of Honor Changes
 Its Meeting Place,

Meridian. Miss, May 21.--(special)- Official statements from the authorities here show that there is not a case of smallpox in the city. There is consider able excitement reported among the people of the adjacent little towns, who are not informed. because of the rumors about the prevalence of the disease in Meridian The American Legion of Honor were to have held their annual meeting in Meridian today. but it is said a large number of the delegates upon reaching Newton station, forty miles west of the city. last night were told that there were forty cases of smallpox in Meridian. They retraced their steps and organized the meeting at Jackson. The business interests of Meridian have sui fered because of these unfounded re- ports, and as a matter of reason and jus tice it is suggested that the public can obtain reliable data of the true situation from the published official reports in the daily papers. There is not case of smallpox in this city

HON. HECTOR D. LANE
In the City Yesterday to Confer as to the At
 lanta Exhibit.

In the City Yesterday to Confer as to the At-
 Ianta Exhibit.
 Hon. Hector D. Lane commissioner of agriculture for the state of Alabama was in the city yesterday afternoon. The object of his visit to Birmingham was to talk upon matters concerning the At lanta exhibit.
 An Age-Herald reporter learned that MT. Lane expressed himself as being per- fectly willing to carry out his argument at the time of the organization of the board, which was to put into the Ala bama exhibit fund as much as his de- partment could spare, which he thinks will be about 5000. This, however, Is upon conditions that the board will have no difficulty in complying with. The funds thus expended will fully repay the state it's outlay. This he Is author ized to use in visiting state fairs and in other ways to induce immigrants to come to Ala abama, and if it is used at Atlanta he thinks the exhibit should then be turned over to the state as a permanent one. The idea is regarded as an excel aent one, and seems to meet with no ob- jections.
 The fact was also brought out in the consultation yesterday that there was great need for some one to visit the northwest in order that the Alabama exhibit might have a proper influence in getting visitors to come to Ala bama from that section, and there is no one more fitted for that mission than MT Lane from his previous visit there. There would undoubtedly great benefits accrue from such trip, and he will be urged to make it in the interest of the state.
