SHE MUST APOLOGIZE
Spain Promptly Called Down
by Gresham for the Alli-
anCa Affair.
THE ACT WAS UNCALlED FOR.
An Expression Of Regret De-
handed Through Minis
ter Taylor.

MADRID, March 16.-The following
cablegraln has beer received here:
Taylor, Minister, Madrid: This de-
partment is informed that on the Sth
inst. the United States mail steamship
Alliance, on her homeward voyage
from Colon to New York, when six
miles from the coast Of Cuba, off Cape
Maysi, was repeatedly fired upon by a
Spanish gunboat, with solid shot,
which, fortunately, fell short. The
windward passage where this occurred
is the natural and usual highway for
vessels plying between ports OF the
United States and the Caribbean sea.
Through it several regular lines of
American mail and commercial steam
ers pass weekly, within sight of Cape
Maysi. They are well known and their
voyage embraces no Cuban port OF call.
Forc;ble Interference
with them cannot be claimed as a bel
ligarent act, whether they pass within
three miles of the Cuban coast or not,
and can under no circumstances be toll
0rnted when no state of war exists.
THIS government will expect prompt
disavOwal Of the unauthorized act, and
dn2 expression Of regret on the part Of
Spain, and it must insist that immedi-
ate and positive orders be given to
Spanish naval commanders not to inter-
fere with legitimate Ommerce passing
through that channel, and prohibiting
all acts wa,:tonly imperiling life and
property lawfully under the flag of the
Unit d States. You will communicate
this to the minister Of foreign affairs
and urge the Importance of prompt and
satisfactory response. GRESHAM.

AN APPEAL ON WALL PAPER.

Getting Out the Edition of a Newspaper
Under Trying Conditions.
A recent issue of the Galloway (Neb.)
Tribune was printed on wall paper and
contained the following explanations:
"Aid is being sent here for the farmers,
but we can't issue on aid, -four or a
piece of side meat, and having run all
our white paper through we are using
up the wall paper given us. which is
about exhausted, and only the Office
towel is left, which has not been wash
ed for seven years. So we ask our broth
er printers to consider our situation,
with a family to support, with nothing
coming in. and we know their ever gen.
erous disposition will see some way to
contribute a little paper or a couple
hours work to keep my paper going for
the good it will do the outside world in
telling them how this afflicted, drought
stricken district is getting along; also to
enable US to get shoes and proper wraps
for our wife and four children. All COM
m%unications WILDE cheerfully answered,
and any donation will be acknowledged
in the press, whether for us or to be
divided with other printers in this dis
triCt.

THE DISCOVERY Or ARGON.


Condolences Connected With the Expert.
ments Made by Scientists.
Professor Ramsay explained in an in
terview last week how he discovered
argon, the new element in the atmos-
phere which is now exciting tho Won
der of the scientific world. He said:
"The impulse came directly from Lord
Rayleigh. He was much impressed by
the fact that atmospheric nitrogen was
heavier than chemical nitrogen. This
might be due to III admixture of lighter
gas with chemical nitrogen or to the
presence Of a gas of a greater weight in
atmospheric nitrogen. Lord Rayleigh
was inclined to the former explanation,
and some four years ago he consulted me
about the manufacture of chemical nj
trOgen.
Il regarded the second explanation as
the true one, and after he had been ex-
perimenting for some time | asked his
permission to make experiments on my
own account He never hesitated to &C.
cord his consent, and | set to work.
1t was dreary waiting for results that

high excitement as my suspicious be-
came probabilities, and probabilities
grew into triumphant certainty. At
length, in July last, l was able to send
Lord Rayleigh three ounces of the new
gas.
He replied at once. He also had
some Of the gas. Our Investigations,
conducted independently, had led to
simultaneous success, as has been the
case with SO many discoveries and inven-
tons. There was still another coinci-
dence a little later. AS soon as we got
the gas we wanted to find out it's nature.
Was it a chemical combination or a me-
chanical mixture? Was it monatomic or
diatomic, simple or compound? Profess
or Olszewski Of Cracow was expert
menting with it in communication with
me. By the application Of heat he made
the discovery that there was no loss of
heat through intermolecular motion.
We made out that argon was monatom-
lc. | wrote the news to CraCOw. My
letter had hardly gone when | received
a communication from my confrere. He
had also suspected the monatomic nature
OF the new gas, but for another reason.
Argon weighs 20 times as much as hy-
d1ogen and l6 times as much as oxy-
gen. He had expected the heavier gas
to liquefy at a higher temperature. To
his surprise, it liquetied at a lower tenn
perature. There was only one conclu-
sion, and that was argon was monatom-
ic. But it was curious that letters an
nouncing the same information should
cross. New York Suns London Cor

A hotel III Chicago is so heavily
charged with electricity that the guests
cannot move around without getting a
shock which is often painful. 1t is SO
bad that when one walks across the
room a spark will leap over a space of
wv inches. The guests have had some
funny experiences. One nan came near
getting a cash cut in his face when he
went to &c: shaved, because he was SO
startled by a spark from the razor. Then
another man thought he had stepped on
needles when he got into a bathtub.
This peculiar condition of the building
puzzles the electricians, and some think
the whole house will have to be over
hauled and revised. Chicago Core

He then took up the constitutional
points involved, dwelling upon the fact
that the constitution required the ap-
portionment of direct taxes and uni
formity in excises and imports. He
quoted various supreme court decisions
and sought to show that while the in
come tax question had been before the
court the question had only been con-
sidered as applying to the point at
issue in the particular cases. Coming
down to the present tariff act, he said
that the law was passed in time or
profound peace and 1t was to be taken
as evidence that congress had sought
in this matter to form a precedent and
establish a departure from established
lines, and it therefore became important
to inquire into the circumstances with
some attention to detail, and, for the
purpose of comparison, he went back
to the enactment of an income tax dur
ing the civil war. He quoted the de-
cision in the Springer case, giving a
history of the case and devoting much
attention to it, as he said 1t was upon
this case that the defense had appar-
emily relied more generally than upon
any precedent
1t is, ne Salu, conceded III All tne CuSeS'
from Hylton to Springer, that taxes on
land are direct taxes, while in some of
them it is determined that taxes on
rents derived from lands are indirect
! taxes. Was there, he asked, any dis
| tinction between a tax on the land or
one on the income derived from the
land? What, in other words was the
land but the profit on it? The name of
the tax is unimportant and the court
| has been unable to see any distinction
He closed by saying that the court had
reached the conclusion that the tax on
rents was involved.
The chief justice then took up the
question Of the taxation of municipal
and state bonds. The decision was also
adverse to this part of the law as repug-
nant to the constitution. on the other
points the court was divided. and there
fore no opinion could be given.
The lower court having ruled In favor
of the law by divided court, the law
would stand, except as to rents and
state, county and municipal bonds, and
on these two points It was directed thai
the Judgment below be reversed.
The conclusions OF the court are as
follows:
