Washington, n. c., Feb. 26.-(Special9
1T came to the attention of the court
here this morning that the jury in the
Hatton Perry case, which was in pro-
gress on Sunday last, visited, while out
on a walk, the place where Perry made
the assault on Annie Smith, and because
of the six jurors were brought be-
fore the court. The Judge found that this
was voluntary act on the part OF the

and the case goes to the Supreme court.

commodious grand-stand has just been
completed and adds very much to the APP

the best ever witnessed in the State.

Gen. r. f Hoke, when the question was

was asked.

from them any constitutional right that
they may now have"

You must excuse me. / ann not fight

1t is clearly the opinion of n number
who did talk, that the bill cannot force
acquiescence on the part of the private
stockholders, in view of their constitu-
tional right TO break a quorum at stock
holders meeting, and that the bill would
be a dead letter because of this fact.

The Cuban Situation.

The London Spectator, in speaking

long that war would be crime, and if
America chooses to stop these hideous
cruelties all Englislmen should applaud
and refuse to inquire too narrowly into
the reason which Influenced her states
men in putting pressure on Spain" This
probably represents the view of large
majority of the English people, and very
likely it is in harmony with the feeling of
their government. Spain will have no
ally in Europe if a conflict comes between
her and the United States. The talk
about Austrian interference is absurd, of
course. Austria has no navy which would
count for anything in war with the
United States, and, moreover, she has
trouble enough at home to keep her busy.
few German papers have been Shrek
ing against the United States and in favor
of Spain, but it is entirely safe to predict
that they do not voice the sentiment of
any considerable portion of the German
people or the feeling of their government.

Important Decision on United States
Liquor Licenses.

RUTLAND, W., Oct. 6. U. S. Circuit
Court, Judge Wheeler, this morning, dis
charged from custody Arthur L. We eks
of st. Adams, the deputy revenue collec-
tor of this State.
Weeks refused some mont his ago to
give the names of persons holding
United States liquor licenses in the prose
cutlon of certain cases in the Washington
county court, Judge Rowell presiding
brought before Judge Wheeler on habeas
corpus proceedings.
There is a State law making the hold
ing of United States liquor license prima
facie evidence that the person holding
such license is a common seller of liquor.
Judge Wheeler in his opinion delivered
this morning says that the national and
State governments have separate juris-
diction and that the State has no right to
federal instruments of purely federal
character for proof unless they are left
within its reach. He adds
''When the State lays hold of a federal
officer and his doings for proof, contrary
to his duty in respect to the tax, inste ad
of resorting to the evidence provided by
that government, it interferes with the
lawful operations of the federal govern
ment in laying and collecting taxes"
This decision will tend to make the
prosecution of offenders of the prohibi~
tory law more difficult.
