one as good in that embrasure," pointing
up to the mamelon, land we would like to
have fair duel with her." Airey took I'D

arranged for II o'clock noon next day.
When the time arrived all the batteries on

given the first shot as the senior gun; it
struck the side of the Russian embrasure.
Then they fired-a very good shot, too.
The third shot from Jenny went clean
through the Russian embrasure and up
went two gabions. The blue jackets jump

again. Several more shots were fired from
both sides, all very good ones Jenny got
a nasty thump. but it did her no harm. At
length, 1 think the seventh shot from our
side, we saw the Russian gun knocked

WAsHHGToN, Jan. 16.-The hearing of
the case of John G. Moore against Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Miller,
brought to test the constitutionality of the
law, was resumed to-day in the district
equity court. Attorney Jere Wilson made
the opening argument, and Assistant At
torney General Whitney and Solicitor of
Internal Revenue Hough represented the
government.
At the outset counsel for the complain
ant cited various authorities to offset the
governments claim that the courts had
no power TO take cognizance of the stat
ute that is void, and laid down the propo-
sltion that an unconstitutional &C; is no
act at all. The income tax, continued
counsel, has been held by the supreme
court to be an excise tax, and he asserted
that, as an attack on thrift and energy, it
is contrary to the spirit of our constitu-
ton.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Jan. 16.-Claus
Spreckcls declares that the Hawaiian re-
public is sham. lie first made the
statement at the chamber of commerce,
speaking of resolution requesting the
government to station a war ship per-
manently at Honolulu to protect Ameri-
can interests there. He reiterated the re-
mark in n subsequent interview, and he
says the republic is being maintained
temporarily by few men interested in
land speculation.
Spreckels says the government is daily
growing in disfavor and cannot last. He
points 10 the fact that at the last mon
archial election 1000 votes were polled,
and that at the election under the present
government there we're but 5000 votes
cast. Spreckels is skeptical about a
steamship line or cable from Vancouver
10 Honolulu, and says the Hawaiian ISL
ands will always be forced to sell their
products at San francisco.
