There was no news to account for this

The FERTILIZER TAX
ARGUMENT NOW BENG MADE BtFORt
u. S. SUPREME COURT.
Col. Hinsdale and Mr.. Hill For Fertilizer Com
panies and Messrs Busbee, Battle and
Harris For State.

Washington, March "a case, the de-
cision Of which wiil affect the laws of
North Carolina. South Carolina, Virgin
in, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky and
other Southern States, was argued in
the United States Supreme court to-day.
In North Carolina and other States there
IS what is known as the Commercial
fertilizer tax imposed by the State on
fertilizer companies selling products t.
these States. 1t is claimed by the tat
authorities that the tax is imposed mere
~ for inspection purposes, but the com
pani@S claim only one fifth of the amount
collected is rel ~ necessary for such in
Spections. The claim is made that no ar
ticlc shipped from one State to another
can be taxed except by the United States.
The State of North Carolina last year
collected between $4,000 and $4,000
by this tax. The ease was argued twelve
months ago before the Supreme court
but the court ordered Il re-argument be
fore Il full bench. The attorneys in the
ctrsc arc Col. John Hinsdale and Mr..
Thomas \. HiIl. for the fertilizer manu-
facturcrs. and Messrs. r. II. Battle, +.
ii. BuSbeo and J.. G. l.. Harris, for the
State of North Carolina. Mr.. Hill
opened the case to-day.
The attcrncvs for the State will speak
tomorrow and Colonel Hinsdale Will
clase the case for the complainants.

Havana. via Key West. March "a
naval officer here to-day, in reply to 4
suggestion that it was a pity such an
important decision as the verdict of the
Court of Inquiry into the Maine ex-
plosion should rest solely upon the testi-
mOny of divers. who seemed men of only
average intelligence. replied:
The Court of Inquiry has not had
to depend upon divers testimony alone
Then. realizing that he had said more
than he intended, the officer resumed
his habitual reserve. 1t is believed that
the testimony Of Lieutenant Commander
Wainwright was highly important as
bearing ~ the question of the existence
of submarine mines.
The government has employed an ex-
pert photographer now in Havana. who
will send to the Navy Department in
Washington photographs of armor plates
and different portions of the wreck imme-
diately o recovery from the water.
If the Spanish Court of Inquiry. I'M
der Captain PeraI, has a definite plan OF
action, which seems doubtful. it has not
been made public. The Spanish divers
will, Of course. report the results OF
their OBSERVATIONS to the SplnlSh COurI
of Inquiry, but when or where has not
been made known.
Senator Proctor has seen much in q
short time and there is good authority
for saying that he will make the re-
suits of his observations known in 6
strong speech in the Senate on his return
to Washington. At MatanzaS Miss Bar
ton and Senator Proctor. under the guild
| ance of United States Consul Brice and
Mr.. Govas. the British ~Nice-Consul. saw
such suffering as they had never con
ccived possible. Four persons died in
| one ward while the party was there.
Senator Proctor was r%eticent on the
subject. but others of the party declared
that the whole east of the island was
under the control of General MaXimo
Gomez.
Senator Proctor, however, went so far
as to say to the correspondent of the
| Associated Press:
"Certainly. a peculiar state Of affairs
exists. 4 resident of MatanZaS told me
that if | wished to correspond with Gen
kral Gomez he would send my letter tC
him and have an answer back in a short
