RUsso-JAPANEsE WAR.

News of successful cavalry raid by
Gen. Mistchenko comes in dispatch
from Gen. Linevitch, dated May 20,
which says that large bands of Chi
nese bandits encountered by the de
tachmCnt were partly annihilated and
partly dispersed. On May 19 the
main body found the heights south of
Kakoman occupied by a large Japan
ese force. The Russians annihilated
two Japanese companies and captured
n new company with all its officers
and two machine guns.
According to the latest information
the battle between the Russian and
Japanese naval forces for the suprem-
acy of the Oriental seas, on which
hangs the outcome of the far eastern
struggle, has begun, if it has not
terminated decisively. All the dis
patches received by the Associated
Press point to a Japanese victory,
though it is not yet known whether
the full force of Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky's fighting ships took part in
the contest which, according to the
dispatches, took place in the com
paratively narrow waters of the
Straits of Korea.

ing, rockets being sent up from Lloyds

THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
II Will Apply to Laborers and Mechan-
les Employed in Building the
Panama Canal.

Washington, May 31.-In view of
the announced decision of the 18TH
mian canal commission to enforce the
eight hour law on the canal work after
June l, Secretary Taft yesterday
stated the grounds upon which At
torney General Moody had reached his
decision on that important matter. 1t
was to the effect that as the work of
canal construction. regardless of place,
was being done by government labor,
the eight-hour law must apply. How
ever, it was held that this ruling did
not apply to the Panama railroad, for
although the stock of that concern is
government-owned it is really a
private corporation and pays its own
employees.
holds that the eight-hour law applies
only to laborers and mechanics and
does not affect the clerical force of
the commission. 1t is said that the
contract providing for the employ
ment of collie labor was held up pend
ing this decision and will not be sign
ed until Engineer Wallace has sue
ceeded in reaching some agreement
with the employers of the coolie labor
TO adjust the scale of labor prices to
the eight hour decision. 1t is stated
that the operation of this law will
largely increase the expenses of canal
| building.

UPHELD THE FRANCHISE TAX
The United States Supreme Court
Renders an Important Decision.

Washington, May 30.-The New
York special franchise tax cases were
decided yesterday by the supreme
court of the United States adversely
to the corporations by which they
were brought to the court. The de-
cision was handed down by Justice
Brewer and it held the law under
which the tax was levied to be valid.
The cases have attracted much at
tention from the time of their incep-
ton, not only because new principles
of taxation were involved in their set
tlement, but because of the large inter-
ests involved. They constituted a di-
rect attack upon the special franchise
tax law of the state of New York en-
acted in 1899 when President Roose-
welt was governor. The law subjects
to a system of general ad valorem
taxation the special and local fran
chises of the public utilities, such as
street cars. electric light, gas and tele-
phone plants occupying the public
streets.
The case was argued for the corpor-
ations by Hon. Elihu Root and w. ID.
Guthrie and for the state by Attorney
General Mayer and Louis Marshall.
The law was sharply assailed by
Messrs. Root and Guthrie as unconsti-
tutional on the ground that it impairs
the obligation of contracts under
which the corporations acquired and
own the franchises.
New York, May 30.-Unpaid taxes
amounting to more than $24,000,000 in
Greater New York are made payable
by the decision of the supreme court
of the United States, upholding the
state tax on corporation franchises.
Among the companies affected and the
sums due from them under the law
are the following: Consolidated Gas
Co., S1,4S9,966; Metropolitan traction
system, S6,025,1S4; Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Co., $2,222656; Brooklyn
Union Gas Co., 1881 ,26S, and the New
York & Harlem Railroad Co.. 1884, ,024

shot and instantly killed Saturday by
