DE LONE MAY RETIRE
Owing to Sagasta's Determination to
Retain Premiership.

Washington, May 24.-It is understood
here that the determination of Senor
Sagasta to remain at the head of the
Spanish cabinet may lead to the retire
ment of Dupuy De LONE, well Femem-
bered in Washington as minister from
Spain prior to the war, from his present
post as Spanish ambassador at Rome
When the Silvela cabinet was formed
after the war Dupuy De LONE took the
important position of under secretary Of
foreign affairs and as such had much to
do with the American minister, Mr..
Storer in negotiating the pending treaty
and in establishing the relations of the
two countries on a modern basis. About
nine months ago, he returned to the
foreign service and his rank of minis
ter, held at Washington was increased
to that of ambassador at Rome. This
apparently removed any embarrass-
rnents which may have arisen from the
cireun stances connected with the min
ister's departure from Washington. He
is prominent in the conservative party
and as Senor Sagasta's stay a the head
of the cabinet insures a liberal regime
it is thought he viii pursue the course
usual among diplomatic officials promi-
nent in politics of rendering his resig-
nation TO the liberal ministery.

900, 900 IN FINES
In Prospect For violators of New
York Game Laws.

New York May 24.-State Game Pro-
tector John E. Overton, having entered
the Arctic Freezing company's storage
house on West street, he claims he
found in one room 1000 partridges,
quail. grouse and other game birds, the
shooting or possession of which in the
state out of season is punisha BILE by a
fine of $50 for the first bird killed or
held in possession and $25 for the second
or each other bird so killed or kept in
possession. The president of the stOr-
age company went to the police court
with Mr. OvertOn, where an agreement
was made not to search all the rooms
in the place until today. Mr.. Overton
and policeman will watch the place
and examine every package going out.
The president of the company is re
ported to have said that he did not own
a single bird in the place and that he
did not know what was in the storage
rooms. Assistant District Attorney
Walsh said that it looked as if there
would be a huge fine to be paid He
said the law clearly states that the
possession OF game birds out Of season
is a misdemeanOr, punishable by a fine,
and if the birds were such as to make
the con pany liable the fines would run
up into an enormous amount Some
estimates make the figures reach a
total OF 81 600 900.

Samuel T. Howe. who is a candidate

county commissioner, has devoted his
whole life to a careful study of such
problems Of finance and public admin

San Francisco. Cal. May 24.-The Chron-

The following dispatch was received
from Washington last night: Seemingly
reliable informal ton has been received
here that George B. Cortelyou, secretary
to the president, is soon to receive a sub

president intends to put him in the cab

now anticipates. In spite of explicit de-

Postmaster General Smith will soon re-

says Cortelyou is to have"
Secretary Cortelyou was asked regard

deny the truth Of the report. Postmaster
General Smith could not be seen. Mem

Goes Back to the Founding Of

Uniform Taxation Clause Ap-
piled Only to States

Chicago, May PA special to the
Record Herald from Washington, d. c.,
says:
The decision Of the supreme court OF
the United States is that the constitu-
ton does not follow the flag. This de-
cision. the most important that great
tribunal has ever made, will be handed
down next Monday.
The decision is in favor of the gov

will be at least five individual opinions.
but some of these is a cOncurring
opinion, expressing the views of the
writer's more fully and particularly
than is done in the opinion Of the ma
jority.
The court goes back to the period in
which the republic was formed and the
constitution framed and endeavors to
ascertain what was the intention of the
founders of the nation.
The opinion of the majority of the
court disposes of the uniform taxation
clause Of the constitution which has
been invoked by all the appellants in
these cases, in the following manner.
The trainers of the constitution, in
writing that clause, had no thought OF
its application to territorial posses
sions. No such question as is now pre-
sented had arisen in their minds. The
clause "all duties, impOsts and exciseS
shall be uniform throughout the United
States the court holds, was placed in
the constitution as a result of the
jealOusies of the states which united in
forming the nation 1t was intended to
prevent any state or combination of
states securing advantage over another
or others; to prevent the ports of one
state gaining preference over those Of
another in the importation Of goods
This rule of uniformity was made
primarily for the states united, the court
holds. not for territories then possessed
or afterward acquired. and the consu-
tutionaI requiem ent is satisfied as long
as all duties on imports are uniformly
imposed at all ports throughout the
United States The advantage of this
uniformity may be extended to terri
tories and possessions not states and
not members Of the American union,

chine. 1t is possible either to print the
message upon a sheet of paper or upon
a long tape like that which is used in
