INCOME TAX.

IL About Equally Divided.

A DeeIalon In the q. \. supreme Court
Resehsd-lt Is Understood That the Court
Ia About Equally Divided.
WASHINGTON, March eG-The SUI
prcme courtroom was packed Monday
by crowd which rivaled the crush
that filled II during the hearing OF the
income tax cases, the most OF those
who thronged the chamber were drawn
there by the expectation that dccis-
non on those cases would be rendered.
Not word was said about them, how
ever, and the announcement OF the
courts determination will be deferred
for a week at least, and possibly for
two
This is the usual length OF time re-
ouired for the consideration Of case
and the rendering Of a formal decision.
II is slow work. Immediately after
the hearing of case, or boon after as
may be. the court gets together for
consultation, aud each Justice an
nounces his opinion.
II the opinion Is unanimous the court
selects one OF its members TO write II
out II tits divided each faction Sc
lects Its own spokesman. Then comes
the writing Of the opinions, which Is a
long, laborious and exhaustive task.
When the f.st drafts have been
made they are read to the respective
groups for revision, as each opinion is
supposed to be entirely satisfactory to
each OF the justices who sign. After
this revision the opinions are printed
and then read again as before and
again revised.
This Il the method followed even in
the most insignificant cases, and the
process usually occupies at least fort
night. In case so fnr-reaehing as
the income tax Il is not likely that tho
time occupied would be less, although
the court had taken weeks recess In
order 10 be free from other business.
The probability is that the decision
will be announced ON April 8, but II Il
possible on April !.
The decision 81 the court has already
been reached, although the opinions
are not yet ready for publication. I'm
medlately after the court went int
executive session on the income tai
ckses, and spent full day In earnes
consultation before taking vote,
What that vote was nobody outside
the court has the slightest inkling, 20
more than customary caution
has been taken TO prevent It's leak
ing out II is known that the cour
I. was divided and that was about all
and there is some reason for the pre-
+, sumption that Il is divided equally
II that is the case the income tax la'
falls 10 the ground, as the manner |
Which Il comes before the court make
q Tie equivalent to an adverse decision
. The opponents Of the law are said
! be justices Gray, Harlan, Shiras an
!, Field, while justices White, Fulle
! Brown and Brewer are quoted as 4
vorably inclined 10 the theory OF !
/, constitutionAlity.

PEACE CONFERENCE.
1t WIN Last n Fortnight-Japan win Get
the Best OF the Deal

the best OF the bchh
LONDON, March pa dispatch from
Higo to the Pail Mall Gazette says the
peace conference at Simonoski will last
a fortnight. The cession of Formosa
to Japan is inevitable. The Japanese
failed to make landing on the Pesca-
dore islands, and were repulsed with a
small loss.
1t is certain that when peace is
made between Japan and China the
latter will be required to pay u heavy
war indemnity. China has s7s5,OOO, :
600 in coin, while Japan has only
si6i. 100000 But China's coin is near
" all silver, awhile about one-half OF
Japan's coin is gold. II the indem-
nifty can be paid in silver, China could
extort great part of it from her own
people and easily borrow the rest, but
should Japan demand gold and the set
tlement be decreed on that basis, where
is the gold to come from? The bulk Of
1t would have to be gotten in Europe
and America.

PARE ERsBuRG, W. Va, March 25,-At-
torneys of the cigarette trust, who
have been examining the law passed by
the last Legislature requiring retailers
to pay $500 license, claim to have dis
covered errors sufficient to base a suit
testing the constitutionality Of the act
But the real test will be based upon
the claim of the unjust discrimina-
ton which permits liquor dealers to
sell cigarettes upon the payment OF
siOO, while tobacconists and all others
are required to ( pay $500 for the same
privilege, 1t is understood that coun'
sci for the trust have directed the re
tailers TO ignore the law entirely, th'
trust guaranteeing to protect them IL
all suits, and against any loss through
the imposition OF fines.

POLICE MATTERS.
The Speed of Trolley Cars DIscusse
 bV the Hoard.

The Speed of Trolley Cars Discussed
 by the Board.
 At the meeting of the board of police commissioners last night Mayor Kilduff and the members of the board spent some time discussing the alleged high rate of speed at which the trolley cars are propel- led. The matter was left in the hands of the chief of police. with the understanding that an effort be made to ascertain whether the Traction company is paying any heed to the ordinance in relation to the speed of its cars. The mayor then brought up the matter of projecting signs and bootblacks' chairs. He thought the police should be put in mind of their duty once in a while. Mir Cross favored the bootblacks' chair on the walk, but thought the proprietors should have permits to maintain them The board voted that the chief of police be instructed to notify them to make applica- tion to the court of common council for permits to maintain said chairs, at the next meeting of the council. Chief Egsn's monthly report was submitted as follows:

 Town Health Officer Dr O'Hara was the first witness. He testified that the rules cf the health ordinance were placed according to law on the public signpost December 17, 1893. In January 1894. he gave Hotchkiss personal notice that he must cease vlolat- ing the law. He had heard that he was cutting up dead horses and feeding them to pigs, and the neighbors had complained of the stencil On March 26, of this year, he visited the farm of Hotchkiss and found from fifteen to twenty carcasses of dead animals above the ground on his land. A we'll at the foot of the hill would receive the drainage and was in use. The stench l was bad and 1t was peri judicial to health. Hotchkiss had no attorney and did the cross examining himself. He only asked the doctor if he found that it was true that he was feeding the horses to pigs and the doctor said no. ..a-'
 County Health Officer 0. E. Hoadley l testified that he visited the place on March 27. Eight carcasses of horses were above ground. A large excavation held other de- cayed animal bodies. The stench was something fearful and be advised that the man be arrested Hotchkiss told him he had brought some of the horses there. but others were brought during the night without his knowledge. He said that he was very sorry if he violated the law and wanted to pay s sum of money and prom ised to avoid the nuisance in the future.
 Selectman Morris gave similar testimony | to Dr O'Hara with whom he visited the place.
 | T. c. Kilbourn, neighbor, said that the nuisance had been going on for ten | years. All last winter carcasses had been carted there by Hotchkiss and left over ground, and on a warm day the stench was very bad. Hotchkiss asked him why he did not come like man and notify him. and Kilbourn replied: "Because you knew of it yourself"
 Prosper Douville. another neighbor. also testified to the nuisance. Hotchkiss had nothing to say for himself
 Health Officer Hosdley addressed tho court and asked strongly for A severe pen alty. Hotchkiss. he said. persisted in vio lating the law after he had been notified If the laws were to be enforced the cour should infict a very severe penalty. sufh clent to show him there was authority be hind the health officer.
