Washington, Nov 1s.-Justice Har-
Ian, in the United States supreme court,
handed down the opinion of the court In
the case of Dinsmore against the South
ern Express Company, coming to the
court on writ Of certiorari from the
circuit court of appeals for the Fifth
circuit. The case involved the require
ment of the express company that ship
pers should themselves atfix the reve-
nue. stamp on bills of lading which were
made necessary under the war revenue
act of 1898. The case originated in
Georgia, where complaint was made be-
fore the state railway commission, ow-
ing 10 the express, company's stamp
regulation. That commission made an
order requiring the express company to
supply stamps, with which the company
expressed willingness to comply. Mr..
Dinsmore, being a stockholder in the
express company, brought suit to enjoin
the company The circuit court of APP
peals decided against him. and he
brought the case into the supreme court.
Justice Harlan's opinion affirmed that
of the circuit court, largely on the
ground that the .amendatory act of the
last session of congress had repealed
the stamp tax on bills of lading of ex-
press companies.

JAPAN FAR FROM BANKRUPT.
That country's Finances Said to Be il
Good Shape.

Washington, Nov. 19-kogoro Taxa
hira, the japanese minister, has Just re-
ceived telegraphic advices from his gov
eminent which show that the statements
recently published concerning the ex-
lstence of financial panic in Japan are
unfounded.
There had been some excitement in the
Japanese stock market within the last
few weeks. but nothing of an alarming
character, and it has been effectively
checked by the publication OF the gov
ernment's new financial scheme. The
market is now buoyant and government
securities are quoted at higher rates
than for some time past
The new financial scheme contem-
Plates the provision of capital for the
extension of railways and telegraphs.
which are yielding a net revenue of
per cent by the sale of bonds to the
postal savings banks, the utilization of
surplus revenues from railways and tel
egraphs and the sale from time to time
of such quantities of bonds as can be
easily absorbed by the domestic mar
ket.
These operations will be rendered all
the easier by the fact that Japan has
just enjoyed one of the most prosperous
years of her history. The rice and silk
crops have been unusually large and
there is steady influx of gold resultant
from a fourishing trade.
1t is a mistake, the Japanese minis
ter states further. to attribute the al
legged financial panic, as has been done.
to the failure of a japanese loan IN this
country There has been no such fail
ure for the reason that there have been
no negotiations looking to loan beyond
inquiries as to financial conditions here
should the japanese government desire
to dispose of some of its bonds to meet
temporary deficiencies caused by the ex-
penses of the expedition to China.
The result of these inquiries was I'M
favorable only in so far as it developed
the existence of certain stringency in
the American and English money mar
kets, due to causes entirely disconnected
from any question of japanese credit.
The prosecution OF public works tenn
porarily in allegiance by the diversion of
funds needed to defray the expenses of
the expedition TO China has now been
satisfactorily provided for, and should
any further capital from abroad be here

that his government can afford to wait
until ii can be obtained upon favorable
terms fully commensurate with Japan's
credit

San Francisco Nov. 19.-Former
Queen Liliuokalani Of Hawaii, who ar
rived here Saturday, is combining bust
ness with pleasure. Besides seeking re-
covery of health she has come to con-
suit with the federal authorities relative
to the crown lands of Hawaii. These

government at the time the monarchy
was overthrown and no attempt has
been made to reimburse her for the
crown revenues. amounting to some
100000 year.
The territorial legislature passed a
bill appropriating s250,000 for the crown
lands. but President Dole vetoed the
bill on the ground that there was not
sufficient money in the treasury to pay
it. Subsequently the legislature offered
to grant her pension Of $4,000 year,
but che refused to accept the money, for
the reason that 1t would place her ON
the list of charitables, step that was
exceedingly repugnant to her
Before the annexation of the islands
she was advised by competent attorneys
to submit her elaine to England for ar
bitration. The crown lands are over
1.000,0 600 acres in extent and are worth
about $15,0o0Ooo.

the company requiring that all conduc-

so that any conductor or motorman who
desires TO buy shirt OF the prescribed

coat
THE United States government has up
to this year required that its mail carriers
wear coats said one Of the aggrieved
conductors today, but now it has granted
permission for them to wear shirts Of gray
color without coat. A rule something
like that is what the railway employees
