The PacfhcCahIe.

New YORK, May 21.-An Ottawa dis
patch says: sit may be taken as a set
tied fact that the Pacific cable will be,
like It's promoters. essentially British.
Under its.treaty with the United States
the Hawaiian government is precluded
from allowing any foreign power to
acquire any portion OF Hawaiian terri
tory. The United States having given
an adverse answer to Great Britain's
proposition to secure Necker and Bird
Island as cable station the Tanning
island route will therefore be adopted
The link from Victoria to Tanning
island Is 500 miles longer than to
Necker island, but this, 1t appears. will
not initiate against the fectiveness of
the cable. All tenderers for construct
Ing the cable have been given assur-
ances to this effect Tanning island is

landing places Of tho cable will be

THE INCOME TAX DECISION.
What Senator Morgan. of Alabama Thinks
of the Courts Action.


WAsHINaToN, May 2l.-The income
tax decision, it's effect upon the revenues
and the probabilities Of an extra session
or Congress to provide means for supply
Ing the deficit were the chief subjects
OF discussion In official and political
circles to-day. Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama, one OF the ablest cons titut,onal
lawyers In the Senate, said the decision
presented very grave situation and he
d1o not care to give an extended opinion
OF Its effects as the subject would psob-
ably come before the Senate.
Besides" said he, 81 do not care to
hold poatmortem. am not coroner.
In nutshell l will say. however. that
the decision leaves the taxing powers
OF the government in q state of wreck.
1t will require long time to gather
up the fragments. Principles OF taxation
which were considered we'll settled, are
torn up by this decision"
How will the question come up in
the Senator" "In connection with the
question of refunding the S75, 900 al
ready collected and the refunding OF the
cotton, whiskey, beer and tobacco taxes.
All these taxes are as much direct taxes
as the tax on personality and as uncon-
stitutional according to yesterdays de-
cision of the Supreme Court. The mem
bers OF the court, as lawyers, were seek
Ing around for precedence and ancient
opinions. They did not hesitate to
override recent decisions, and Justice
Shiras did not hesitate to reverse his
own opinion OF month ago; but old
opinions and old decisions they hold
sacred as though the value OF decisions
like wine increased with age"
What can Congress do?" "Of COURSE"
replied Senator Morgan, Congress will
have to accept the decision, but an
amendments to the constitution is al
ways possible"

In Kentucky, until 1t was now not more
than one third as remunerative as Ii was
ten years ago, when over $1,000, 900
worth Of roadsters were bred in this
State every year. 'T
The breeders think that the trouble
lies In the fact that the gambling ele-

troll OF racing, instead of being kept In
control by the legitimate horsemen
Unless something is done to elevate
