Alien Tax Law stands Until Passed Upon
by Final Court.

ny AAuAA OuuNAs
HARRIsBURG. Sept. 30.-The Alien Tax
law situation is further complicated by an
opinion handed by Deputy Attorney General
Reeder TO State Treasurer Haywood yester-
day, in which it is advised that County Com
missioners shall insist on employers Of male
aliens making returns and paying the three
cent taxes as required by the Campbell act,
passed by the last Legislature, until the law
has been declared unconstitutional by a
Court Of last resort.
The question was raised by the George V.
Cresson Company, Of Philadelphia which
wrote to the State Treasurer asking if it is
proper to return to every male alien in its
employ the tax which the firm has collected
/ FROM him up to date in view of the decision
of the United States Circuit Court, that the
law is unconstitutional and that some large
firms have already paid back the amount
held from their pay.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Attornev
General Harmon has given inst NC ions
to the United States attorney at Jack
sonVlIle, Fla, to at once proceed
against the alleged filibuster Three
FRIENDS for engaging in an act Of
piracy. The section Of the revised
statutes under which the action will
be brought reads as follows:
ANY vessel built, owned or fitted out in
Wnoie or In part, or held for the purpose
Oh belng employed in the commiss on OF
any p1ratical aggregation, search, restraint
depreciation or seizure, or in the commission
OF any other act of piracy. depreciation or

snail be liable to be captured and brought
into any port Of the United States If found
upon the high seas, or to be seized If found
IN any port or place within the United States
wheather the same shall have actually sailed
upon any piratical expedition or not and
whether any act Of piracy shall have been
committed OF attempted upon or from
such vessel or not, and any such vessel may
De ad1udged and condemned, If captured by
a collector surveyor marshal to the usa
OF the United States
The action is taken In view Of the
recent decision of Judge Locke, of
Jacksonville, which held in effect that
the Cuban insurgents were not a peo-
pie, state, district or colony, within
the meaning Of Section 5,218, r. g.,
under which the libel was brought In
other words the expedition in which she
was engaged was not political one.
1t is the understanding Of the depart
ment that the Three Friends some
weeks ago while on a fllibustering ex-
petition, carrying arms and mount
ed cannon on her deck, was pursued by
a Spanish vessel and in making her
escape, fired one Or more shots at her
pursuers. Whether shots were actually
fired or not, the contention Is that she
was SO armed as to clearly bring her
within the terms Of Section 1927. The
attorney generals opinion is that there
Is but one alternative. The Three
Friends on the occasion named was
either engaged on g. political expedition
against a friendly power, or on a
pirattcal one. Her arms and mounted
cannon furnish evidence that her mis-
sion was not a peaceful one, but quite
the contrary. In any event the at
tOrney general has decided to give
Judge Locke another opportunity of
deciding just what the character Of
the Three Friends expedition was.
No action is now contemplated against
the officers and crew Of the vessel.

JUDGE LoCKE's DECISION.
Supreme Court VIII Review 1t at
an Early Date.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The SUI
preme court today granted the writ
of certiorari asked by Attorney Gen.
eral Harmon in the case of the steamer
Three Friends and set the hearing
for the third Monday in February. The
decision IN this matter was made after
brief argument by Attorney General
Harmon in a formal motion made by
him today, in accordance with his no
tice given on Friday last.
The attorney general in his brief
statement laid especial stress upon the
necessity for prompt action on tha
part of the court, which he requested,
Notwithstanding the announcement OF
a months recess by the court beginning
today. He urged his request entirely
upon the ground that such action wa5
a diplomatic necessity. He explained
briefly that the action was against
the steamship on the allegation Of fill
clustering in the interest Of the Cuban
insurgents, and that the decision OF
the district court of Florida had been
in favor Of the steamer. He also ex-
planned that an appeal had been taken
to the circuit court Of appeals for the
fifth circuit, but that it was consider
ed desirable to have an opinion in
the matter by the supreme court. He
said these requests were made for
reasons Of public policy on behalf OF
the executive department, involving
q grave question Of international law,
the determination Of which might
mean peace or war. He continued by
saying that the situation was a most
delicate one, and that under the de-
cision Of the Florida court there might
be a continued recurrence Of the
offense alleged against the Three
Friends. He said If the case had In
volved only a point Of law, OF private
interests he would not have pressed
for an early hearing.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 1.-The local wheat
market opened lower, weak and very nervous
this morning. First cables advised of weak
markets in Liverpool at a decline OF Id per
Genital. Liverpool was weak and depressed
because of an increase Of stocks and heavy
receipts, together with arrival of California
and Oregon wheat off coast and at ports of
call. Eleven cargoes were in these positions
and aggregated 100000 blu. Second cables
were even more discouraging, showing a fur
Eher decline OF Id, with the market SILL weak
at the decline. London was weak and declin-
ing in tendency. Berlin was reported steady
at Il mark up. At the opening first prices
sd on the next bid recovered a fraction
but ruled very weak and nervous up to II 10
a. m. The visible supply statement showing
decrease of l, 704 600 blu, instead of 1 600 600
bu as estimated early, together with large
clearances from the seaboard 645 900 blu,
checked the decline, and better prices ruled
during the balance Of the morning session.
That there were good many men who
wanted to buy wheat at the decline was plain
from The remarks made, and fer the reason
that the general surroundings of the market
favored relatively higher prices. They were
prevented from taking on a line from the fear
that the bear element had not quite got
Through with their manipulahons. The big
decline of last weak invested the bear side
with great deal Of confidence, and, besides.
had bull money in its possession where
with to operate. The bull side had gone
deal OF money on what 1t considered a gilt
edged property, and hence its confidence in its
own judgment had been as badly wrecked as
Its bank account. So the bear held the
stronger hand and played It well this morn
ing. The news OF the day was meager, moth
Ing being said about the crops OF this or
any other country. The worlds shipments
we're said to be upwards of s, 600 COO bu for the
week. There was an increase OF 160 600 blu On

OHIO EXPRESS CASES
Decided Against the Companies by

WASHINGTON, Feb. I'm the Unit
ed States supreme court today the
Ohio tax cases were decided in favor OF
the state. The opinion was delivered
by Chief Justice Fuller, on behalf OF
the majority of the court Justices
Field, Harlan, Brown and White dis
scented.
There were ten Of these cases brought
by the officers of the Adams, American
and United States Express companies.
There were suits in equity to enjoin the
payment and collection Of taxes under
the acts Of the general assembly Of the
state of Ohio, passed April 27, 1898,
and May 10, 1894, for the taxation Of
express, telegraph and telephone conn
panies, on the ground that the acts
were in contravention Of the constitu-
tons Of the state Of Ohio and of the
United States. The cases were ap>
pealed by the express companies from
the decision Of the circuit court for
the Southern district Of Ohio, which
was favorable to the state. The court
also decided the tax case Of the West
ern Union Telegraph company against
the state Of Indiana, involving similar
questions to these settled in the Ohio
cases The state won in this case also.

Begun by the shoe Manufacturers
of BrOctOn.

BROCKTON. Mass, Feb. Ia con-
troversy which almost immediately as
sumed the proportions of war between
the shoemaker's union and the shoe
manufacturers, was precipitated today
by the action of Charles A. Eaton 81
Co., who operate one of the largest shoe
factories in this city, in discharging
300 employees and issuing q notice that
the factory would be closed indef1ni-
tely. No reason for the discharge was
given the employees but Mr.. Eaton later
said to reporter that he had been
contemplating making a change for
some time, for the reason that in order
to do business satisfactorily he must
deal with his help as individuals, ana
not through the unions. He said that
he had made arrangements to employ
union men, and would reopen when q
sufficient number to operate the factory
are secured He also said the manu-.
facturers Of Brockton are obliged to do
something, as they are not able to conn
pete with manufacturers in other
places, because of the high price for
labor here. He declared that he would
go out Of business rather than give Am
30 the union
