sion Monday in the sugar bounty cases of

Realty company The cases were brought
TO test the constitutionality OF the ruling
of Comptroller Bowling denying bounty

last congress. The opinion of the court
was handed down by Justice Peckham and

overruling the comptroller. The opinion
was unanimous
Chief Justice Fuller Monday delivered
the opinion of the supreme court in the
case of the United States VS.. j. II. 3 Wi
borg, captain of the steamer Horsa, and
others. The case is the one which was re-
Gently advanced by the court nj the in
stance of the attorney general fos the pur-
pose of securing decision of the court as
to the construction of our neutrality laws
and their effect in preventing filibuster-
ing expeditions against friendly pow
ers. Wiborg was the captsin of the
Horsa and with his associates is
accused of attempting to lard arms
surreptitiously in Cuba. They wore found
guilty under the neutrality laws in the
United States court at Philadelphia.
The opinion held that the decision of the
Pennsylvania court WAS correct on the
point that the expedition was a violation
cf the neutrality laws. The Judgment OF
this court was affirmed as TO Wiborg, but
reversed as co Mates Johansen and Peter
son on the ground that they were ignorant
of the purpose of the expedition. Justice
Harlan concurred in the reversal of the
| Judgment as to Petersen and Johanscn
but dissented from the Judgment affirm
| ing sentence against Wiborg.

morning respecting the cyclone which

this (Polk) county, while Valeria Is in
Jasper county, directly east. so far as
heard from Slater is the only town in
Storey county which suffered, but as there
is no means Of communication with that

ity that the restoration of telegraphic
communication will bring news of disas-
ters as yet unreported
Many Reported Killed.

ter further than the bare statement that
the whole town was destroyed. The same
report comes from Polk City, this county.
A telephone message at 10 o'clock from
Berwick says that IA courier just in says
that twenty-four persons were killed at
Bondurant, fifteen at Naleria and three at
Ankeny. The storm struck Valeria, a
small town nineteen miles east of here 1t
