THE CASE rs PRESSING.
1t Will Be Out of the Ordinary
Groove to Hand Down an
Opinion Quickly.
THIS A SPECIAL OCCASION
The Three Weeks for the Law tc
Take Effect May Change the
Action.

WASHINGTON, March 24-The ses-
sions of the United States Supreme Court
will 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 decision may be
given then on the income tax case.
1t is understood that the members of the
court have been in consultation concern
ing the case, and while it would be most
unusual for them to come to conclusion
in so important matter so soon after the
conclusion of the argument it is concluded
that the exigencies of the Government are
such that special effort will be 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 reason for de-
cision could be presented on Monday, but
1t is thought possible that the court might
announce its decision as to the constitu-
tionality Of the law then and reserve the
preparation of the decision for time of
greater leisure. This course is occasionally
pursued toward the end of term, but it is
not believed to be at all probable that it
will be followed in the income-tax case.
There still remains after Monday, three
weeks before the law shall go into effect,
and it is argued that the decision will be
postponed till the 8th of April without
putting the Government to especial incon-
! venience.
Those most familiar with the Supreme
Court say that the court would not be in
clined in a case of so much Importance to
reach a verdict, either favorable or unfavor-
able to the law, without at the same time
giving its reason for it. There appears to
be growing belief that the law will be
sustained by the court when the decision
is announced, and members of Congress,
| both among those who advocate and those
who opposed the law when it was before
! Congress as part of the tariff bill, gen.
orally express themselves to this effect
They appear to have faith that the court
will be loath to interfere with the preroga-
tive of the law-making power to provide
means of securing revenue. Lawyers
! generally hold that the Moore case will be
thrown out on the technicality that a col
lector cannot be enioined from enforcing a
law. This point has been several times
decided in the court and it seems quite
uniformly against proceedings in that way.

Reports from all over the South for the

Business is falling off somewhat among
the coal producers, but no lessening of the

to the park or cross the bay. Miles of bad
wheeling bar them from the delightful

Mineral Water Company and a proml-
nent wheelman, said:
of course, every wheelman will say at
once, For heavan's sake build it, but
don't know much about it from practical
standpoint. There is no question that it
would be a magnificent thing that would
greatly boom suburban residence that way
ana develop the towns. and the resources
OF the country. The wheelmen have now
only the park for an outing. L know that
they would take hold of the project enthu-
slastlcally., for they are always and every,
where active in the interest of good roads"
Captain Thornton of the Olympic Club
Wheelmen says that the idea has been en-
Enthusiastically talked of among the wheel
men. Now the boys nearly always cross
the bay to ride TO San Jose" he said. "Often
they take their wheels by train to San
Mateo and ride from there on. To wheel
south by the Mission road is tough expe-
renee, Tor 1t is sandy and billy and full OF
ruts and stones for every rod. The San
Bruno road requires thirteen miles of
wheeling to get to a good level, and the
route takes one past tanneries, slaughter
houses and all sorts of disagreeable things
besides. Much of the way one has to ride
fast to escape the stencil. 1 am sure that
united organized effort to aid the enter
prise would quickly be made by the wheel
men of the CITY,"
President F. II. Kerrigan and George P.
Wetmore of the Bay City Wheelmen
say that not only would the Or
gained wheelmen of the city unite to give
the most vigorous aid possible to the pro-
ject,. but that the unorganized wheelmen
would give it as hearty support in any way
possible.

we hope to make such a showing as will

REV.DR. MACKENZIE RESIGNS
THE FACT THAT He HELD TWO
APPOINTMENTS WAS THE
MAIN CAUSE.
GIVEN THE CHOICE OF HIS CHURCH
OR HIS SAN ANSELMo
CHAIR.

The resignation of Rev. DR.. Robert Mac
kenzie as pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church on Van Ness avenue and Sacra-
mento street is in the hands of the church
session.
This step, though it will fall with the
shock of surprise upon the public, is the
natural climax of the relations between
pastor and people. For some time past
these have been becoming more and more
strained, although the influence and
esteem commanded by 1.-THE doctor among
individual members of the church is IN
questioned.
The main difficulty has been DR.. Mac
kenzie's tenure of two appointments-the
chair of apologetics at the Theological
Seminary at San Anselmo near San Ra-
fael, and the pastorate of the First Presby-
terrain Church. The former yields him a
salary of $4,000 a year, while the session
paid him annually as pastor of the church
$1,000.
The duties of professor at the seminary
did not entail continuous residence and
the appointment of an assistant poster en-
abled DR.. Mackenzie to write his lectures
for the seminary and preach once every
Sunday in San Francisco.
Still the people were not satisfied and an
indication of the feeling was said to have
been manifested in the doctors recent trip
to New Y ork, where he was considered as a
candidate for the passionate of the West
Presbyterian Church. This appointment,
however, he failed to secure, and having
been notified that he must choose between
the two appointments held by him here, he
has chosen to resign his pastorate.
DR.. Mackenzies high ability as an or
ganizer and financier are, however, fully
recognized by the church and he will be
unanimously rendered the Office and title
of pastor emeritus by the session upon his
retirement.

MADRID, March 24.-In an article in
reference to the Alliance affair the Epoca
publishes the notes that were exchanged
between Spain and the United States in
1856, when the latter country contended
that the Spanish man-of-war Ferrolana
searched the American mail steamer Ell
Dorado on the open sea at distance of
over eight miles from the Cuban coast.
The question was settled amicably.
The Epoca adds that copy of the in
structions then sent to the warships guard
ing the Cuban coast ordered, firstly, that
whenever warship sighted a suspicious
vessel it was to follow her until her cargo
and intentions were ascertained, and sec
ondly, whenever a suspicious vessel en-
tered Cuban waters the warship, if power
full enough, should search her, Selling or

proof that she was on filibustering expe-
dition.

La Chambre arrived at Guantanamo from
Santiago with 200 Spanish soldiers, return

Guantanamo is Henry Brooks, nephew
of Richard Brooks of Santiago and Guam

About thirty miles from Santiago. near
FL Cobre, four Spanish troops were. on
March Is, ambushed by an insurgent band
under command of Pallaci. The Span
iards' loss was exceedingly heavy. They
were routed, and the Cubans notified the
Spanish authorities to send for the dead
and wounded. The number of the Cuban
band is not known.
Around Canto River section the whole
country is under the tramp of rebellion.
Bands are marching toward Las Unas de
Victoria and Puerto Principe, growing
stronger as they proceed. A strong band
of insurgents are on the northern coast
daily, expecting an expedition from the
United States.

pie, who are moving into the cities All

A small gunboat was patrolling the
coast near Cape Cruz March 49, and no.
ticed ships yawl heading for them. It
proved to contain two German sailors who
wanted water. They claimed to be fisher
men from San Domingo, being blown from
that coast by heavy southeastern gales.
They were sent to Santiago and put in Jail
where were also two Americans, found in
the same manner two weeks previously.
The American and German Consuls both
have the matter before them.

the situation. Many incidents mentioned
