The commissioners have not conferred
about the new phase of the situation as
yet. They were verbally notified yester-
day of the orders given by owner Brown,
but gave II no attention. They do not
know the owner in any official connec-

responsible to them. If bis crematory

to have expended $4,000 in building

through desire to put i'll thorough

Meanwhile, from the appearance of

Joyment OF superior system OF garbage
disposal than they were at this time last

new TRIALFOR HORSA'S MEN
Supreme Court, However, Says the
Captain Must Suffsr'
Expedition Was Clearly "a Military
One and Violated the Seu-
traiity Laws.

Chief Justice Fuller announced the "pin-
ion of the Supreme Court OF the Cuited

ing expedition, deciding that Il was NH

the vessel, the Judgment was reversed
on the ground that the record did not

vessel left Philadelphia they had sufficient
knowledge uf the errand or the HorSa
TO warrant conviction and new trial was
ordered for them.
The facts in the case were revie wed and
the VS. set forth in the opinion, and the
court concluded. That II does not admit
OF serious question that providing or pre-
pairing the means OF transportation for
such a military expedition or enterprise
as is referred To in the statute is one OF the
forms or provision or preparation therein
denounced Nor can there be any Doubt
that hostile expedition dispatched from
our ports is within the words carried
on from tucuCe-
The officers of the Horsa were concerned
in providing the means OF transportation.
The first and main question of the case was
what constitutes a military expedition
or enterprise under the statute?" This,
the court said, was one OF municipal law,
and the statute was to be cons trued as other
domestic legislation. In its instructions
to the jury the court below said:
For the purpose OF this case 1T Is suf-
ficient TO say that any combination OF men
organized here to go 10 Cuba 10 make war
upon its government provided with arms
and ammunition, constitutes military
expedition II is not necessary that themen
shall be drilled, put in uniform or prepared
FOR efficient service nor that they shall have
been organized as or according 10 the tactics
or rules which relate to what is known
as infantry, cavalry or artillery. 1t is suf-
ficient that they shall have combned and
organized here to go there and make war
on foreign government and 10 have pro-
yided themselves with themeans ofdoingSo-
Attorney General Harmon said yesterday
that the decision OF the United States
Supreme Court in the HorSa case sustained
the position of the government In every
detail, and therefore ii would not be neces-
sary to issue any further instructions TO
United states district attorneys and mar
shals or to modify those nowin effect.

Bryan and Sewall will get 275,OO0, Bryan

Mr. Blake also says that the state Demo-
cratic ticket will win by anywhere from
$4,000 to 5000 majority. Republican State
Chairman John Grant figures the total
vote at 100000, but claims from 2O5, 200 to
10000 votes for the Mckinley electors and
tho Populist state ticket on the fusion ar

ure out that Of the 100000 votes the Demo-
Gratis are sure of coo, 900 and the fusionists
comprising the Republicans, Populists
and gold Democrats, are also sure of 20O,-
900, thus leaving 100000 votes Us the un-
certain quantity. The Republican lead
ers are arranging matters so as to have
the Populists and silver Democrats waste
their strength between the Bryan and
Sewall and Bryan and Watson tickets in
the hope that by this means they can get
the Republican electoral ticket safe in
