Among other cases left on the docket is
that of John G.. Moore VS.. j. 5. Miller
Commissioners of Internal Revenue, TO en-
join Miller from collecting the income tax.
While the income tax law has been de-
clared invalid by the decision in the main
cases this case involved the additional ques-
tion as 10 whether an executive officer can
be enjoined against the enforcement of
law before a decision declaring il unconsti-
tutional has been rendered, and ii remains
TO be seen whether the court will pass on
this point or simply dismiss the case.

ILLINOIS SILVERITES
DEMOCRACY'S STATE MONEY CON-
vENTION TO MEET TO-DAY.
POpulist Taubeneck on Hand-Ohio
Silver Democrats Afraid Of Brice
-kentucky Republicans.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. June 4.-The Demo-
cratic State convention, called by the State
central committee. to adopt policy for the
party in Illinois on the money question will
convene at noon tomorrow There is every
indication tonight that every county in
the State will be represented by its full
quota Of delegates. The sentiment among
the delegates in favor of free silver seems
to be so nearly unanimous that there is no
prospect of even a show of fight from the
opposition. The movement in the direction
Of a national money convention seems 10
be gaining force every hour. Judge Good
rich, OF Chicago, Is one of the few sound
money" Democrats who are delegates to the
convention. He will oppose the scheme to
call national money convention. He said
tonight that he can see no sense in such
a proceeding at this time.
The sudden appearance to-day of Herman
E. Taubeneck, who will be remembered as
one of the F. NJ. B. A. members in the
famous senatorial fight of 1891. caused much
comment. He said this evening, that he had
no interest in the convention except as a
spectator. He added, however that Ger
tain managers of the Democratic party are
Taubeneck has no objection to this. In
the agitation, for he feels sure II Will. in
time, disrupt the Democratic party.
THE silver element Of the party"
said he. us much more in
evidence now than the other wing, but this
is owing TO the fact that the silver move
ment is being promoted by the machine of
the party. The silver Democrats in Illinois
are not nearly so numerous they seem.
L think IL may be safely estimated that
fully one-third of the Democrats of Illinois
are gold men, and a declaration for free sill
will drive these men out OF the Demo-
cratic party. When the issue is finally
forced upon the Republican party. as II
must be, IL will certainly prove demoraliZ-
ing. Ultimately the result will be that the
Peoples party will gather In all the free
silver men OF the country. Personally,

gold standard in next years campaign. /

complished the victory for silver is won. II
II cannot be the contest for next year is
either the Republican or Democratic par
ties / feel certain that the silver sentiment
of the country will eventually be consoli-
dated into one party. That party must be

Ii is probable that there will be a meet
ing of prominent Populsts here tomorrow
evening. and that address to the country
will be issued based on the action of to-
morrows convention. When the county dele
gates and visitors arrived this evening they
marched at once to the Executive Mansion.

REJECTED BY BRITAIN.
Pope LeO's Offer to Arbitrate the Brit
ish-Venezuelnn Dispute.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Pope Leo's ef-
forts to secure the settlement, by arbitra-
ton. of the British-Venezuelan boundary
question are shown in the Venezuelan
Yellow Book. which Senior Andrade, the
Venezuelan minister, has received. The
proposition from the Vatican is similar to
that made by the United States, so that
the answer made to the Pope's envoy prob
ably conveys the general position of Great
Britain on the subject. Cardinal Rampolas s
letter gives the details of the proposition
Ii states that the Pope sent Monsignor
Tonti as special envoy to London to urge
that arbitration be adopted for the settle
ment of the question. The Cardinal adds:
But / regret to say that we have not had
any success in the tender OF our good Of
flee, and that we have not had any favor
able result in behalf of Venezuela" Mgr
Tonti was delegated to go to Venezuela
and give personal explanation of his eff
forts. This he did. and President Crespo
issued decree thanking the Pope and his
envoy for their kindly offices.
The Yellow Book also contains the reply
of Lord Kimberly to the request of the inter
national peace association urging arbitra-
ton. II states that her Majesty's govern
ment continues to wish friendly settle
ment of the question, and has made several
propositions 10 that end but Lord Kim
berly points out that Venezuela insists
that Great Britain should submit to arbitra-
ton portions of the territory which her
Majesty'S government does not regard as
subject TO arbitration.

warm weather has been beneficial to corn

the corn belt is about completed and it is
coming up and doing we'll. Reports from
Southern States indicate that corn IN that
section is in excellent condition. In Ohio,
Indiana Michigan and Southern Illinois

Nebraska the crop has grown well during

Dickinson Very Diplomatic.

DETROIT, Mich, June 4-On receipt of
the Washington dispatch containing the
rumor that Don NJ. Dickinson would be
rendered the office of Attorney-general of
the United States a reporter visited Mr.
Dickinson and asked as to whether he had
received any intimation of that character.
rs 1t Secretary of State or Attorney-gen-
eral, this time?" queried the ex-Postmaster-
general inquisitively.
After reading the dispatch Mr.. Dickinson
replied: II really cannot discuss those
rumors in any way. Not because 1 do not
wish TO give the news, should / have any.
but. as you are aware. my, relations are
somewhat peculiar.
Mr.. Dickinson was then asked whether
he could not state at this time what he
would do in case a position IN the Cabinet
were again rendered him.
NO; / could not say as to that" he re-
piled. Il cannot discuss these matters in
any way"
1t is regarded here as by no means i'm
probable that Mr.. Dickinson would accept
the legal portfolio, if rendered, and his
well-known intimate relations with the
President renders IL not unlikely that he

IL is believed that on account of Mr.. Dick

confidence of President Cleveland believe
that one of the Cabinet positions could be
had by him beyond any question were he
TO consent TO accept the office.
