Washington, March 24-The sessions
of the United States supreme court viii
terminate on Monday, but as Monday
is the day of the week on which the
court usually hands down decisions.
there are some who think that a de-
cision may be given then on the in
come tax case.
1t is understood that the members of
the court have been in consultation
concerning the case. and while it
would be most unusual for them to
come to a conclusion in so important a
matter so soon after the conclusion OF
the argument, it is concluded that the
exigencies of the government are such
that a special effort will he made in
the present instance. 1t is conceded by
those who advance the idea that it
would be too much to expect that an
opinion giving the reason for a de-
cision could be presented on Monday;
but it is thought possible that the
court might announce its decision as
to the constitutionality of the law then
and reserve the preparation of the de-
clSion for time of greater leisure.
This course is occasionally pursued to-
ward the end of a term; but 1t is not
believed TO be at all proba bic that it
will be followed in the income tax
case. There still remains, after Mon
day, three weeks before the law shall
go into effect, and it is argued that
the decision will be postponed until the
Sth of April without putting the gov
eminent to especial Inconvenience.
Those most familiar with the supreme
court, say that the court would not be
inclined in a case of 30 much inn
portance to reach a. verdict either ia
vorable or unfavorable TO the law.
without at the same time giving its
reason for it. There appears TO be a
growing belief that the law will be
sustained by the court, when the de-
cision is announced, and members Of
Congress, both among those who adj
vocated and those who opposed the law
when it was before Congress as a part
of the tariff bill, generally express
themselves to this effect. They appear
to have faith that the court will be
lOath to interfere with the prerogative
of the law-making power to provide
means of securing revenue.
Lawyers generally hold that the
Moore case will be thrown out on the
technicallity. that a collector cannot
be enjoined from enforcing a law.
This point has been several times de-
cided in the court and it seems quite
uniformly against proceedings in that
way.

FIGHTERS MISTAKE.
GENERALLY BELIEVED THAT HE
WENT TOO FAR.
Impression Prevails That the DEM
OnstratiOn Was Set Ahoat by Bis
marcl's Friends for Definite
Purpose.

London, March 24-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Times telegraphs that it
scarcely needed Emperor Williams dis
patch to Bismarck, in which his majesty
expressed his profound Indignation at
the refusal of the reichstag to authorize
Herr Won Levetzow, president of the
body, to congratulate Prince Bismarck
in The rame OF the house on the approach
ing anniversary of his birth, to give a
political character to the spectacle The
correspondent adds that it is difficult to
avoid the impression that Prince Bis
marck's admirers set the demonstration
alioat with a definite, though Yet yelled
purpose.
In the same manner as that in which
they used the cry for religion, morality
ana social order TO Chancellor Y on Ca
priv, if they had equally wished Il ma
Jority in the reichSJag there is reason
TO believe they could have obtained it,
but for a fortnight past the press has
surpassed itself in recrimmations against
the Center party and the Radicals, which
slowly but surely excluded every posi-
biIity of an amicable compromise. No
steps were taken to obtain any courtesy
that could not be wrung from them by
force. Still the opposition must bear
share of the blame. The conduct Of the
Centrists was scarcely worthy of power
full party.
1t may be assumed that the Centrists
were influenced by the attitude of Herr
Richter the Radical leader. Many per-
sons think that Herr Richter repeated his
mistake of 1893. and carried his despotism
too far. AS it is, the Centrists and Rad
icals have. in the eyes of large part of
the country, allowed themselves TO be
driven by the Vaccinations of their enc
mics to exhibit to the world testimoni-
UNI paupertatiS.
1t would be hazardous to venture
conjecture as to the final object of the
Cartel parties. Their clamor for the
dissolution of the ReichStag is a fitting
sequel to their conduct as a whole, but
the correspondent says he knows from
excellent authority that there is no in
clination in influential circles to listen TO
this question. The vote on the resolution
was not equivalent to the governments
death. Neither the government nor the
Conservatives. who are crying the loud
est, have anything to gain by a dissolu-
ton of the Reichstag. 1t is needless to
remind the Conservatives of what their
position would be in a general election
with the government opposing the Won
KanitZ scheme for state control of the
general grain trade. With the single ex-
ception of the extreme Radical. Socialists
and Catholic papers, the whole press ad-
mits that the Reichstag by its action has
lowered its prestige.
1t is probable that the new president
of the house will be a member of the
Centrists; that is, the Clerical party.

long, rumbling sound. which is described
by some like the breaking of ice in a

The sound was accompanied by a dis
tinct vibration of the earth from east to

.Japan viii suGer.

Washington, March A.-The news of
the assault on Ii Hung Chang caused
sensation in diplomatic circles in this
city. The opinion here is that Japan will
suffer greatly as a consequence of the
assault, and that the position of China
will be strengthened so that she may be
able to succeed on better terms than she
could otherwise have secured The Incl
dent may lead to the breaking off of
peace negotiations, or at least may post
pone further action in this direction until
the Japanese have guaranteed the safety
of China's ENJOYS.
No news of the attack on Lii Hung
Chang has been received by the Japan
csc legation here. and Minister K-urino is
unwilling to discuss the occurrence. The
members of the legation realize that it is
a serious matter, but hope that the first
reports may prove to be exaggerated.
They say no. one will deplore such an af-
fair more. than the Japanese themselves.
The Chinese legation received prompt
notice of the matter, but their advices
contained nothing not in the press dis
patches. Minister Yang Yu did not care
to discuss the subject. 1t was stated at
the legation that It was not believed that
it would lead to the total breaking off of
peace negotiations, although it might
cause them to be interrupted for time.

Chang, the Chinese peace envoy, was re-
turning to his lodgings in this place to-
day, after having attended a conference
with Count Ito and Viscount Musu, the
Japanese peace plenipotentiaries, young
Japanese fired a pistol at him. The bullet
sped straight, but most fortunately did
no more harm than to infiict a painful
wound in Ii Hung Changes face. At the
time of sending this dispatch it is inn
possible to learn whether or not the
wound is serious.
The attempt to assassinate the repre-
sentative of the emperor of China caused
the most intense excitement. and on
every side there were expressions of deep
regret. The would-be murderer was ar

Poor John. He was his own worst
