The French tribunal of commerce is

Washington, March l3.--The corpor

as constitutional by the supreme
court of the United States.
The court was unanimous in the de-
csion.
Thereby source of income Of ap.
proximately $25,OOO,0OO annually was
assured to the government.
OF all the objections to the tax
raised by suits in all parts OF the
country, none of them was found suf-
ficient to nullify the law.
The court did hold that the tax
was not applicable to the real estate
trust" of Boston, which is organized
not under any statute but under the
common law.
The law was held not applicable &c

San Eranciseo's Unique Plan.

Under the plans adopted by the
directors, practically the whole city
of San Francisco is to be the site"
of the Panama exposition.
That is to say, the permanent build
ings will be located at various points
with the primary view of identifying
temporary buildings will be erected at
Harbor View, overlooking the entrance
of a permanent nature, will be in
Golden Gate park, and an enormous
hall will be erected in the
center of the city, at the junction of
Van Ness and Market streets. Boule-
wards will connect the different build
ings, the boulevards merging into a
grand highway which win skirt the
ocean and bay shores.
The unique idea thus adopted was
first suggested some months ago, and
it appealed to all people of artistic
taste; but such a happy conclusion
was not expected from the directors,
in view of the tremendous pressure
from real estate spectators who
wished TO have the exposition so To-
Gated that it would boom their hold
ings.
If the plans are carried out ac-
cording to the details announced,
San Francisco will benefit perma-
nently from the exposition, I'm that

: Finances and Markets j
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

New York, July 27.-After a peace
full morning session, slightly higher
prices in the stock market were badly
upset by a heavy selling movement
today. Declines were more rapid and
active than has been the case in sew
cral weeks, Consolidated Gas being
almost the only stock of any promi-
hence to score an advance. London
selling and a continuation of the bear
raid seemed chiefly responsible for
todays further setback. Pressure
from abroad was simpltancous with
reports of the British prcmicr's speech
and the Moroccan enlargement. Es
Inmates of selling for the London ac-
count ran from $4,000 to $1,000 shares.
Canadian Pacific fell back nearly ,
points and was the heaviest loser
among the standard issues, although
the Hartman stocks declined nearly
as much. A number of industrials,
including Steel, Westinghouse Elcc-
trio, American Beet Sugar, Intcrna-
tional Harvester Interborough and
Metropolitan preferred were heavy.
Buying of coal stocks continued on a
large scale throughout the day. Trad
ing in Reading during the first hour
of the session constituted more than
a third of the whole. Reading touched
1904. the highest point for moro than
two months, but fell back with the
balance of the market 1t was learned
today that steps towards 'recreating"
the American Tobacco company in
conformity with the decision of the
supreme court are on the way. The
declaration of the usual dividend on
St Paul was followed by some buy
ing of that stock, although the re-
covery was not large. The bond
market was easy. Total sales. par

ern terminus is Yuma. With the
completion of the Arizona Eastern
from Phoenix to Yuma-this line is
already under operation to the Has
sayampa river, fifty miles westerly
from Phoenix-the line from San Die
go to Yuma will give Phoenix 4 di-
rect Southern Pacific route to San
Diego. This direct line to the finest
harbor on the coast will be of ex-
traordinary Importance to central
Arizona as soon as the Panama Canal
is finished.
A significant feature of the resump-
ton of construction of the San Diego
& Arizona railway is the evidence
thus furnished as to the larger plans
of the Southern Pacific company in
respect of the new through line"
across Arizona. Presumably the
Southern Pacific interests would not
go to the heavy expense of building
from San Diego to Yuma unless with
the intention of carrying out the
greater project of a level line up the
ella river via Phoenix to Lords
burg, New MeXico-the Arizona East
ern project Apparently the Southern
Pacific people are confident that the
secretary of the interior will decide
ia favor of the railway company in
the controversy over the ella canyon
right of way.
The eastern branch of the Arizona
Eas tern is in operation for one humid
red miles east from Phoenix, and the
continuation of the line from its pres
cnt terminus to LOrdsburg, on the
present main line of the Southern
Pacific, only awaits permission To

A New Railway for Arizona

From San Diego comes the well
come news that, beginning with Sep
TENDER. active construction of the
San Diego & Arizona railroad is to
be resumed and pushed with all vigor
TO completion.
Construction of this line began some
two years ago, the project then be-
ing under control of the Spreckels
interests. Work progressed slowly, for
some reason, and finally the enter
prjse was taken over by the Southern
Pacific company. For some distance
the route is through the northern
edge of Mexico Oower California;
and possibly the outbreak of the
Mexican revolution last fall had
something to do with delaying con-
struction.
The projected line is of great i'm
portance to Arizona, and especially to
the Salt River Valley. as the east
