Police Justice Tomiin to-day declared
unconstitutional the Virginia statute UNI
der which the harbor master or this port
has been accustomed TO exact a fce Of s. Ter
annum from vessels arriving here from

ute is in violation OF The Interstate COM
merce act. since under it vessels haiiing
from States other TRAN Virginia are dis
eliminated against. no fee being exactcd
from vessels arriving from Virginia ports.
The question arose because of the refusal
OF Charles Grigg, Of Philadelphia. a barge

Be HURRIED To PHILIPPINES

passing many partisan measures which
might slip through under the excitement
and glamour of dying congress.
One of the bills which viii be brought up
for passage at this time will be that which
has already passed the senate, making
General Corbin a major general. This is
general can be given public approval and
himself promoted. 1t is not in the power
of the president to promote him beyond the
rank he holds now in the staff. Some of
the democrats are going to fight this meas
ure for the reason that they do not believe
that STAFF officer should be a ranking
major general, which would put him in the
line and give him rank over other and
purely line officers on whose staff he might
find himself. This brings up an old con-
tention, one which every army has had to
cope with at some time or another.
President Jefferson Davis. of the con-
federacy, one OF the greatest authorities on
army matters and organizations this coun-
try has ever produced, believed that the
adjutant general of the army should be a
ranking officer When he organized the
confederate forces he placed Samuel Spen-
GER the adjutant general of the confeder-
ate army, as the ranking major general.
The fight will be bitter one for twenty
minutes, all the time that any bill under
the suspension of the rules has, when this
matter comes up. If 1t required only ma
jority to make General Corbin a major
general, his bill would go through without
trouble, but Ii is doubtful If he can get the
sufficient two-thirds.

DE ROULEDE'S SCHEME
May be the Cause of the Promoters S
Undoing.

Paris, February 24.-De Roulede's comic
opera coup is destined to cover himself and
his league with ridicule. 1t was the one
thing wanted to give President Loubet a
firm seat and has probably helped the
cause of Dreyfus revision more than any
thing else that has happened for some
time. The serious apprehensions long en-
tertained of tragedy issue of the Dreyfus
affair all hinge upon fear that the army
might out of revenge be induced to forget
its loyalty to the republic.
The anti-revisionists regarded General
Roget as one of their staunchest support
ers, owing to the part he played in the
Dreyfus affair. Thus, 1t happened, as he
did not reply to Deroulede's first appeal,
the patriots jumped to the conclusion that
their object was attained and surged
around the marching soldiers with tri.
umphant shouts. They were speedily un-
deceived and Deroulede becomes sadder
and possibly wiser man.

DEBATE ON PEACE TREATY
Continues in the Spanish Cortes-The

Madrid, February A.-In the chamber of
deputies today the debate upon the peace
treaty was continued. The minister of
finance, Senor Purgcerver reproached Senior
Silvela, the conservative leader, with
speaking more like an American minister
than a Spanish statesman
Senior Morely Prendergast, former minis

against Senior Silvela's attack, declaring
that the destruction of the United States

war. He said that when Fitzhugh Lee

THE ADAMS INQUEST.
Molineaux Was the Principal Witness
Yesterday.

New York, February A.-The inquest in
the Adams case was continued today and
proved of less interest than any of the
previous hearings. Practically nothing
tending to throw light upon the murder of
Mrs. Adams or the attempted murder of
Cornish was revealed.
The day was entirely devoted to direct or
implied denials of testimany offered by
Cornish.
Molineaux was the principal In this re-
spect, denying many of the allegations that
Cornish made yesterday. Colonel Austin
also made rather an important point in
denying that Barnet ever in the slightest
implicated Malineaux as inferred by Cor
nish yesterday. On the whole, the testi-
mony may be said to havo been favorable
to Molineaux.

FIRE AT MINNEAPOLIS.
The Tribune Building and Contents
Completely Destroyed.


Minneapolis, MIMI, February 2.-The
five-story building on Fourth street, near
First avenue, owned and occupied by the
Tribune Publishing company, was burned
tonight. The fire started in the job room
on the second floor. Nothing was saved,
mailing lists, account books, contracts, with
all the costly presses and type and limo
types were destroyed. A large part of the
west wall fell outward and hour after the
fire was discovered. Fortunately not a
single life was lost or a man injured.
The Journal building, which is two lots
west of the Tribune, were in grave danger
being on fire several times, but more
through efforts of employees than through
assistance from the fire department, the
flames were extinguished. The Tribune will
be issued tomorrow as usual, both the
Times and Journal having given their af-
fiicted brethren all the assistance possible.
The building occupied by Geo. Bense &
Sons, wholesale liquor store was almost
totally destroyed and the loss is heavy.

How the Oak WIN Grow.

There are trees which would seem to
substantiate the theory of some SCI
entists that there Is no reason why a
tree should ever die unless destroyed
by unfavorable conditions or accident.
The oak, for example, will live as a
sapling for ages until given opportu-
nifty for growth. There is an old say
Ing to the effect that II pine forest Is
cut down an oak forest will grow.
and this is said to be literally true.
Many Of the acorns carried into the
pine woods by birds and squirrels are
left TO sprout In the ground. As the
tiny saplings grow browsing natives
of the forest shades nibble off their
tender leaves. Again and again new
leaves are put forth, only to serve as
food for hungry deer or moose or 9th.

would appear, of every essential OF
