THE COUNTY FEE ACT
PLACED UNDER THE SUPREME
COURT BAN
Three Good Reasons Are Given Why
Fees Cannot Be Collected by
County officers

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-The SUI
preme court handed down an important
decision today negativing the constitu-
tionality of a clause of the county fee
act of March 2S, 1895. The case decided
was that of the executors of the will of
Mariana Maarin, deceised, against
Henry A. Pfister. clerk of the superior
court of Santa Clara county.
On June Is, 1895. the executors pre-
sented to Clerk Pfister an appraisement
of Malarin's estate and rendered $40 as
fees for filing. The estate was valued at
s243, 900, and the clerk, under the county
fee act, demanded $240 fees and refused
had been paid.
The executors thereupon petitioned
the superior court for writ Of mandate,
requiring the clerk to file the inventory
and appraisement, which was denied.
An appeal from the judgment was taken.
The court held that the act was clearly
an attempt to levy property tax, first
because it violates section l Of article 13
of the constitution, in imposing an ex-
traordinary tax upon the property to
which it applies, in addition to the equal
and uniform tax to which alone all prop
erty in the state is liable.
Second, the subject of the act Is not
expressed in it's title and is in no wise
germane thereto.
Third, the act requires the tax for
which it provides to be paid into the
county treasury for county purposes,
ard violates section 12 of article II of
the constitution, which forbids the legis-
lature to impose taxes for county pur-
poses.
For these reasons Justice Beatty re-
versed the judgment Of the lower court
and remanded the cause with direc-
tions to grant the peremptory writ Of
mandate, as prayed for.

PUo PICTURES
Fail to Show Fitssimmons' Foul

BLOW
NEW YORK. May 22.-The instan-
taneous Photographic reproduction Of
the Corbett- -Fitzsimmons fight wac to-
night presented for the first time at the
Academy of Music.
A large white cloth was stretched
across the proscenium arch and the fig
ures were presented thereon n life eize.
The Academy was crowded to standing
room, and those present saw an accurate
reproduction of the contest. marred
somewhat by the unsteady movement of
the Photographic plates. The chief in
terest centered in the question as to
whether Fitzsimmons fouled Corbett in
the last round while Corbett was down.
The presentation of the screen wae 30
vibrant and unsteady, however, that no
accurate Judgment of the nice point
could be determined, particularly as
Fitzsimmons back was toward the cam
era when he struck the final blow
The general opinion was that no foul
occurred. The spectators. after Cor
bett was pictured ae down. cried out:
Where was the foul? Where was the
foul?"
This was accompanied by shouts Of
"There was none. There was no foul"
The presentation, as whole, was won-
derfully vivid.

Stops an Englishman's Execution at
Honduras

Honduras
NEW ORLEANS. May 22.--General
]. Drummond, British subject, who led
the revolution at Port Cortez. Honduras.
and who was captured while wounded
and conveyed to San Pedro. was released
on the eve of his execution on the de-
mand Of the commander Of the English
warsbip Intrepid.
The news comes from Honduras by
the steamer Honduras. which just ar
rived here. The Intrepid dropped into
Port Cortez a week ago last Wednesday,
and her commander at once requested
to know of the Honduras officials If
there were any foreigners in Jail who
had been arrested for connection with
the revolution. Upon being informed
that there were he at once demanded
their release, which was complied with.
Learning that Gen. Drummond was con-
fined at San Pedro, 80 miles inland, the
gallant commander made his way to
that town, arriving just in time to pre-
vent the execution.

NO CUBAN SENSATION
WILL BE CAUSED By CALHoUN's
REPORT
He Will Investigate the Ruiz Case So
Far as He Is Able Against Span
ish Objection

WASHINGTON, May 22.-To set at
rest the common expectation that more
or less of sensation in the report upon
the situation in Cuba is looked for any
day by the president, it may be stated
that 1t is not part Of the understanding
that Mr.. Calhoun went to Havana to
make report by mail, or at all. until he
returns to Washington, and then his
communications may be made to the
president verbally, although it is un-
derstood Mr.. Calhoun's official duty is
to investigate the Ruiz case.
Speaker Reed was at the state de-
partment today and conferred for some
time with Secretary Sherman, presum-
ably touching the legislative progress
Of the Morgan resolution. An interview
between the president and Senator Bur-
rows, who has taken a strong positionin
resistance to the resolution, at this
time gives evidence that the Cuban sit
uation is still occupying large share
of the attention of the administration.
The stormy events at Madrid yesterday
have not escaped observation, and there
is some apprehension of reflex action in
Cuba
United States Consul Lee today ca
bled the state department from Ha-
vana that the Spanish officials there
have released Frederick Gown, an
American citizen who has been under
arrest, and he will leave the island.
THE RUIZ CASE
CHICAGO, May pa special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
The State Department has received, ac-
cording to one Of the minor officials, a
semi official report from Mr.. Calhoun,
who was sent by the President to inquire
into the circumstances of the death OF
DR.. Ruiz.
The report ie to the effect that Dr. Ruiz
was murdered, though 1t will be impos-
sible to establish this fact to the salts
faction of the Spanish government.
Mr.. Calhoun has read the report Of the
autopsy by DR.. Burgess, who eaid that
the wounds in the head could not pos
sibly have been inflicted by DR.. Ruiz
himself.
DR.. Ruiz was evidently struck from
behind, probably with a bar Of iron
which fractured the skull and caused

to assist investigation, are placing every
obstacle in the way and using every eff.

will be impossible to secure full testi'

that Messrs. Hollins, Bird, Simpson, Chauncey,

mittee Of organization, as they understand the
needs OF every club in the league. Some golfers
thought that the Westminster county clubs had
