OFnotAtTpAPER — of THE CITY OF ST. PAUL. WVW^AAAAn- VOL. XXIV.-NO. 182. iiraisfis (SOCTB CAROLINA HAS BEGUN SUIT TO RECOVER SPECIAL LIQUOR REVENUES .UP TO REVENUE COMMISSIONER IN VIEW OF DISPENSARY SYSTEM STATE! QUESTIONS RIGHT OF GOVERNMENT TO LEVY TAX NOT A NEEDFUL STATE AGENCY WASHINGTON, June SO.—The state of South Carolina acting throng. i the gov , err.or and attorney general has instituted *l>rooeeJing-3 before the commissioner of Internal revenue to test the qu:stlon .whether the state can be legally re quired to take out special tax stamps ns wholesale and retail liquor dealers ; under their state dlsp^nsaiy laws an! • has made a demand upon the eommls :eior.er for a refunJ of all such taxes hitherto paid, amounting to ?4,:1i;. "While this sum is not large, it Is realized that tho principle at issue is great and far reaching in importance. The one question involved la whether tho internal revenue laws of the United States apply to the dispensary system of ■t=«.>uth Carolina so as to entitle the col ■ lector to demand the payment of these [taxes. The entire dispensary system, of South Carolina is managed by a board of commissioners, consisting of three persons btlected by the suite legislature, •with Columbia as its headqua;ters. This fctate dispensary dlßtrJbuie3 the supplies to the county dispensaries and th.:se in (turn are managed by county dispen saries or agents, all being under the bo.-ml of state commissioners. Under the law, no liquor can be sold at night, nor drunk on the premises of the dis pensary. The liquors are sold as 'tha property of the state an.l the profits ac crue to the state. The sa!ar.e3 of (all the officials of the dispensaries are lix.d by law and do not depend upon the amount of their sales. In the brief filed With tho commissioner of Internal rev enue on behalf of 'the state It is con tended that there is nothing In the laws of the United States authorizing the Im position of a tax ag:iin3t a state or its Instrumentality of government and that such an at containing any pro vision taxing the instrumentalities of the state government would be to that extent unconstitutional. It Is contend ed further, that the property of a state end the means and Instrumentalities employed by it to carry its laws into operation, cannot 'be taxed by the fed eral government and an opinion of the I late Judge Cooley on this question la toted. If the Internal revenue laws of the United States require the agents of the etate and county dispensaries of South Carolina to put a tax Into tho United States before being permitted to .fxerjise the duties of their office, It is contended that the law Is unconstitutional and void | in this particular because the tax which it Imposes is purely and simply a tax upon the lustrum :ntalltie3 by which the state, through its laws, seks to mini* t nii:'.e the evils of the liquor traffic with, in its borders. The federal government, it Is held, cannot constitutionally inter fere with the administration of these Jaws by requiring a special tax stamp to bo paid by its officials as a condition precedent to the exercise of their du ties. Commissioner Terkes lias the claim for fund of taxes by the state of South Carolina under consideration, but has rendered no opinion yet. While it is trao that this dispensary system may be designated a stato agency, and its maintenance upheld as constitutional, under the police power resident In all cr.vereignties, yet the commissioner is Inclined to the opinion that it U no: 6uch a necessary state agency, or such a needful Function of the state g:>vern irent as will exempt It from taxation. There are certain agencies absolutely es , 6ential to the life of a state, such as tie maintenance of courts, executive of ficials, collection of taxes for the pay ment of necessary state expenses and It m ,y be admitted that the government .can at no time and in no way, directly or Indirectly, levy a tax upon these necessary state agencies; otherwise the j national government must tax them out | of existence. Tho government contends ' ■when the state performs a work ad assumes direction of an agency Which j has been and can be performed by its ' citizens in their individual capacity a ' new aspect arises. If It is neonstl- I tutlonal to require the local agents em- ' ployed under the dispensary system of South Carolina to pay to the government the sums required for retail and whole rUo liquor dealers' stamps, then this f."nio state and all other states, the commissioner points out, could take control not only of the sale, but of the manufacture of whisky, beer and to tacco, and if so, then the question would i arise, could the government levy any tax upon the products of plants under and one-rated by th state and used for these purposes? If so, while the states must thereby be able to pay ail of their gov- ' ernmental expanses, the general govern ment, it is said, would lose an internal revenue income of some $200,000,000 per year. It is understood that If the com missioner's decision Is against the Btate-, as seems probable, the case eventually will go to the supreme court of the United States. CAM? FOR STRIKERS.

RAISING OP DUTY ON BICYCLES AND RESIN JUSTIFIED. BT. PETERSBURG, June 80.-The Journal of Commerce and Industry, pep resenting the Russian ministry' of finance, explains Russia's attitude to ward the American duty against British ] irafflne manufactured from Russian r.nptha. The article declares that Sec retary Gage's measure was "manifestly deslsneS as a reprisal,' a'din- that this supposition is strengthened by tho fact that article 626 had never previously been so construed. It assorts also that Mr. Gage did not mention Roumanian naptha which is likewise imported into Gre it Britain. The co nt nil,m, therefor*, 1? that Russia's answer in raisin? the duties on bicycles and resin is justifiable.

Nearly every one was abed last night when the jury bTought in the verdict acquitting Dr. Wlntner of the crime of muixier. When they found such was the case their rage was nearly ungovernable, and threats were freely made against both the jury and Wintnor. It has culminated In the issuing of a warrant for Wlntner for robbery in the first degree, but the of ficers have been unable to make the ar rest. Wlntner was last seen driving west from town, and it Is probable he will ba in Dakota by morning. All towns have been notified and every ef fort is being made to apprehend him. The authorities are bound to have him at any cost. Charges of bribery are freely circu lated and the most intense excitement prevails. Part of the Jury have walked out of town and the remainder are quar tered with friends In private hous«a.

HENLEY ON THAMES, June 30.— Pennsylvania crew took advantage of Sunday to enjoy a thorough rest, the only exercise indulged in being a three mile walk in the course of the morning. All the men are in first-class condition. "Bob" Cook. Yale's celebrated coa<:h, arrived last night. To a rcrr^s. ntatlva of the Associated Press ho said': "I consider the Pennsylvanians to be In better physical condition thar. any other American crew that ever reached the eve of Henley races. They are bet ter fitted to bring about a victory for the American stroke than any other lot of men I have ever Seen here. Their broad blades and style of stroke Involve greater force and shock to the muscles and system than the long body swing and narrow blades of the British, but I think they can stand the strain and should have a fair chance with the L»eanders, supposing they meet them in the finals. The Pennsylvanians also have the great advantage of ."having rowed together, I believe, for nearly four years. They have improved great- ; ly since they have been here, and per haps instinctively they have adopted some of the best points of the British stroke. "After the Killarney trip the Pennsyl vanians will scatter, some visiting the continent and others returning to the United States on the Vaderland. mals. The action is brought by A. I* Sutton, a Humane society official, and three pastors. Preparations ere bslrsgf completed for the li;-iit ns though no interference were contemplated. The bulls are being groom ed, and the red-rag artists from Mexico are in form for the contest. The man agement proposes to show that no cruel ty to the animals is contemplated. the United States. The Americana are not conquering us, but they are buying us up. When this Is accomplished it will only need a slight political difference with the home government, and the an nexation movement, now dead, will re vive. Then you will have to look not only to the half Americanised business men of Toronto, but to us French Cana dians, -who have saved Canada for you more than once, and may save It again unless you hopelessly alienate us."

KANSAS CITY, Mo., June SO.—Mis souri and Kansas are sufferlngufrom hot •winds that threaten groat damage to corn. Atchison, Kas., reports the great est drought in Northwestern Kansas since 18C0, a warm wind having blown from the south almost unceasingly for the past seven days. AblUne, Kan., reports 105 degree weather with many fields in South Dickinson county ruined. A Mexico, Mo., dispatch says the ther mometeo in that part of the state reg isiered 101 yesterday aud today, and that if rain does not come soon the farmers will have to put their stock vn the mar ket immediately to Bave it. Sedalia, Mo., reports 108 degrees in the shade with the statement that another week of similar weather will make certain a failure of the corn crop in central Missouri. DROUGHT FELT IN NEBRASKA.

For three hours this after noon the government thermometer in the weather bureau at the tcp of vhe Audi torium tower registered 97. In many places in the street It was 104 and 106. A northwest breeze brought some relief after nightfall, but at 11 o'clock the mer cury was again soaring around 90. Ther« was Intense suffering throughout the city, especially In the poorer districts, and the police ambulances were kept busy picking up victims who had suc cumbed to the heat. No fatalities woro reported, but several of those who were prostrated are In a serious condition. Forecaster Cox says it will be still hot ter tomorrow. SIZZLIXG IN WASHINGTON. Higli Temperature With Little Pros pect of Relief. WASHINGTON, June 30.—Intense heat prevailed here all day and far Into tho night. The sun shone with relentless fury from a cloudless sky all day, and there was scarcely a breath of air to temper tho atmosphere. During the aft ernoon the temperature at the -weather bureau was 98 degrees, and It maintained a high record throughout tho evening. Reports to tho weather bureau from points through the hot wave area, show lemarkably high temperatures generally with little cr no rainfall, and but poor prospects for any substantial relief In the next forty-eight hours in the East c-rn part of the country. In tha South, Atlantic and Middle and East Gulf states there were local rains and thun der storms today, and In tha extreme Northwest cooler weather came from local showers. i High temperatures continued tcday In all districts east of tha Rocky moun tains. At New York the maximum, 9S degrees, broke the record there for Juno, end at Philadelphia the maximum, 98, equaled tha highest temperature previ ously recorded ther©. Some of the high temperatures reported at the bureau were the following!

NEW YORK, June 30.—The relief from tho killing heat of the past week, which was promised today in th« shape of thunder storms, did not materialize. In stead the temperature Increased, there was less breeze than the day before, and what little air did stir was surcharged with heat. There waa scarcely a cloud all day to shield the city's populace from the eun's burning rays. Owing to It being Sunday, when the majority of th© city's workers were idle, the list of deaths and prostrations from the heat was slightly decreased over that of Saturday. In spite of this fact, however, eleven deaths and nine teen prostrations were reported up to 9 o'clock tonight. At noon today the government ther mometer registered 88 degrees, at S p. m. 93, and at 6 p. m 97, 5 degrees more than the maximum temperature Satur day. After this a drop oame, and at 9 o'clock the thermometer touched 83. BUFFERING IX NEW ENGLAND. Heat Has Canned a Great Many DeiUha. BOSTON, June 30.—The weath«r throughout New England today was (generally a slight Improvement ov:ir that of the past three days, a breeze tempering the sun's terrific heat on alti tudes and along the coast. In the cites, however, the suffering was terrible among the poorer people and the hospi tals were fully as busy as during the woik. In Boston the official figures for the maximum temperature was 93, one de gree more than yesterday, while the hu midity was only 68. The police report only one drath from heat prostration in the city proper, but there have kin very many serious cases. The hospita's are still treating scores of patients pros trated during the wtek, so that tho list of heat vlctlma Is abnormally large. Three deaths from heat occurred to day at Lawrence, Mass., a total of seven Bince Friday. At Manchester, N. H. f there were three deaths from the heat. MARTIAL LAW IN PANAMA REBELS HAVE REORGANIZED AiXD FIGHTING IIS IN PROGRESS. KINGSTON, Jamaica, Juno 30.— steamer Orinoco, which arrived here to day from Colon, Colombia, reports that martial law has been proclaimed la Panama owing to a report that tfca rebel forces are being: reorganized. It also appears that considerable flffht lng Is In yprogrcss In the Interior and ! that the government Is dispatching re inforcements, arms and ammunition to the garrisons in the Interior and also to certain coast towns. It Is further reported that stringent precautions arc taken In. Panama In consequence of the fear that the rebels will attack the city. Similar conditions obtained at Colon when the Orinoco left. The government's a'leged cruelly to political prisoners Is said to he- the cau. c« of the refusal of the Liberals to accept the peace terms. ELECTION OF PRESIDENT I*A.WS GOVERNING CHOICE OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE TO BE DIS CUSSED BY CONVENTION. HAVANA, June 30.—During the coming week the constitutional convention will discuss the electoral law. The project submitted by the commission provides only for the election of congressmen, governors, state representatives, mayo: and councllmen. No agreement has been reached as. to Whether or not to elect the president and senators by di rect popular vote. The discussion of the electoral ' law will undoubtedly open, up an argument 'by the Conservatives against a federal republio with many provincial officers as entailing heavy expenditures. The Conservatives will oppose granting ab eolute autonomy to the provinces and municipalities. An effort will be madd to change the constitution and to In vest the central government with ap pointive and veto power. Universal suffrage seems to be a pop ular movement, but the general opinion Is that It will be impossible to get the convention to change the form of vot ing. Gov. Gen. Wood is improving, but his. physicians advise him to desist from public duties for a time. He received the cabinet secretaries jrest«rday and to day. PRICK TWO CENTS— J^vKT! rv ls II HP HMD KENNETH M. CXARK THINKS KA RIAD PASTER BOAT THAN SHAMROCK WANTS QUESTION SETTLED DESIRES OPPORTUNITY TO ENTER HIS BOAT IN PRELIM. INARY TRIALS LIKELY TO CHALLENGE LIPTON ROTHESAT, June 30.—A development ns intensely interesting as It waa en tirely unexpected has occurred concern ing the challenge for the America's cup. This 13 due to the action of Kenwih M. Clark, owner of th 3 cutter Kariad. Mr. Clark has had three opportunities of racingl the Kariad ag-ainat the Sham rock 1., and he has witnessed all the trials of the two Shamrocks since the challenger was refit fed. IDs observation* have led him to doubt seriously whether the Shamrock 11. Is good enough to send to the American waters as a ohallengvr. He has a belief, amounting to convic tion, that Kariad la a better boat, length for length, than«the Shamrock 11., and he desires to see this question settled before any yacht gves out as a chal lenper. When interviewed today by a represent ative of the Ass.x-lated Press, Mr. Clark said he had no desire whatever to push himself forward in the matter, and ho hoped to have an opportunity of solving his own doubts quietly in the ordinary races in which he expected the two Shamrocks to take part. "It now appears, however," said Mr. Clark, "that the challenger will only be tried against the Shamrock I. Even if both sailed to win, the result would only thow which of tho two excelled and would give no real proof as to whether either Is the host boat we have avail able. The contest is an International af lair In the fullest sense of the word, and for the credit of British yachting and the good of the sport It Is desirable that the British side of the contest should be upheld by the best available boat. "I believe the Kariad Is faster than either of the Shamrocks. I may b> wrong, but that is my opinion, and I believe that I have excellent reasons for holding It. "I desire nn opportunity to enter the Kariad in tho trials. If this request Is not granted I shall ehsillenge Sir Thomas Lipton to trial race 3 between Shamrock 11. and the Kariad, to be sailed over a course similar to the course of the Amer ica's cup races and on the Am< i measurement in order to decide which should be sent as the challenger." Whc-n asked whether the Kariad was ellgibl. and whether he would carry the challenge If the Kariad should prove tho faster, Mr. Clark s.iid he had no d to go to tho United States, but if It should bo proved that Great Britain had a better chance of success through his boat he was prepared to carry the chal lenge through. So far as the eligibility of the Kariad was concerned, he said he understood there would be no serious flirfloulty, as the Royal Ulster Yacht club h;;d lodged the challenge on behalf of a cutter under ninety feet water line, and he was a member of the club and his boat answered the description, "If Sir Thcmas Lipton has tho. better boat," Mr. Clark concluded. "I shall be delighted to stand aside. My on!y de sire is to send the fas-!<-flt British yacht, find this cannot be determined be Question without a trial." Mr. Clark, who Is chairman of ,T. p. Coats, Limited, has owned many steam yachts. The Kariad is his first l>i X rac ing cutter. She was built last yeai a Watson design by the Hendersons f»r C. D. Rose, who had iho misfort.li lose two sons In tho South African war, and she was not launched until pur chased this year by Mr. Clark. 11. II RHB COMMAND OP DEPARTMENT OF UAiLJF'OItMA IS TRANSFERRED TO GEX. YOUNG VOLUNTEERS MUSTERED OUT Three Regiments Remain to He Paid mid Tlien Span I* h-American Army Will Have Pasiied Into History. BAN FRANCISCO, Juno SO.—Two Im portant military events occurred at Hie Presidio today, the retirement of llaj. Gen. "W. R. Shafter and tho mustering out of four volunteer regiments. Gen. Shatter went on the retired lift at noon, when he formally transferred the com mand of the department of California to MaJ. Gen. S. M. B. Young. In the aft ernoon [the Forty-fourth^ Forty-ninth, Forty-eighth and Thirty-eighth volun teer regiments were mustered out. The mustering out of the four regiments re quired the services of eight paymaster* Over $1,000,000 was disbursed. Tho money was taken from the subtreasury to Uio Presidio in eight Doherty wagons, each under the charge of a paymaster and his clerk. Forty-five artillerymen mounted and armed escorted tho treasure and pay corps to the reservation. In order to protect the soldiers on the grounds from grafters with their swindling devices, 100 men of Troop. E, Fifteenth cavalry, were Rationed around the reservation. Two of the regiments mustered out, tho Forty eighth and Forty-ninth, were colored, and the men had between three and four months' pay due them. As soon as the volunteers had been mustered out they rushed to the railroad ticks, offices for transportation to their Eastern homes. Both the Santa Fa and Southern Pacific general ticket offices put on extra forces of clerics. The ticket offices were crowd ed till late In the night with discharged volunteers buying tickets. Nearly 4,000 tickets were issued. During the day an accidental shooting, which may have a fatal ending, oc curred.- George Price, colored, of Ken tucky, Company G, Forty-eighth regi ment, accompanied by John Rogors, of the same company, went Into the store of Hiren Brothers to buy a revolver. Price told the clerk he wanted a gun like the one Rogers carried. With this Rog ers handed his gun to the clerk without warning him that it was loaded. While tho clerk was examining the pistol It was discharged. The bullet entered Price's abdomen, inflicting a wound that may result fatally, ■ ■ ■' There yet ren&ajns three volunteer reg iments to be discharged, the Forty-third, Forty-seventh and Forty-first. They will be paid off tomorrow. The volunteer army will then have passed Into his tory ,-,-.; ' OFFICIAL PAPER —OF THE — OiTY OF ST. PAWL.

But it is generally be*, lieved, despite piotestatlons, that it is a. settled fact that the crew Is not rowing as well as It did a week ago, while both Cornell and Wisconsin and even Pennsyl vania's new crew have all Improved. BETTING IS LIGHT. Ko matter what the critics may say, or how winners may bo picked for the next forty-eight hours, the fact remains that the 'varsity race will bo one of the mint picturesquely exciting events ever s< n In college aquatics. There is no heavy betting on any of the crews mentioned for first place, and where there is bet- 1 ting no odds are offered. It Is believed that for two milus h\ will bo the hardest kind of a fight. Then Judging from tha present condition of the crews and bar ring accidents and substitutions, it Is thought that Wisconsin, Cornell and Co lumbia will draw away from the others and fight It out for first, second and third places. The reason the snarus' plok Wisconsin as a winner is that It la believed Georgetown and Syracuse, with crews used to rowing two miles, will do the same as Georgetown did last year find cut out a terrible paeo for the first two miles, hoping to obtain a lead which will help them to finish well. The result of Georgetown's efforts last year was to tiro out Cornell so badly that at the third mile she was unable to pick up tha stroke enough to keep in the van. Wis consin, however, never seems to bother about those little things, and ha al ways had enough reservo force la her boat to do extra spurting in the last mile. For Pennsylvania It may bo said, that Mr. Ward does not expect that his crew will do much towards setting iliut Dlace. Syracuse a.nd Georgetown are Both rowing very well, keeping their boats on even keel and not splashing and not catching very badly, but ho far as can be observed they do not appear to have the steam for a long row that Is apparent In the other boats. Th,o picking of a winner In the fresh men race is based mainly on the clean find clever work of tho Cornel] freshmen crew. They have a boat that goes af.-nij all the time, and while Columbia and Pennsylvania also have splendid crews, it is said by those who have watched them closely that no freshmen's boat on the river travels so smoothly and speedily as the Cornell boat. In the four-oared race Pennsylvania Is put down as a sure winner, although Columbia's men do not concede It. Sev eral of tho coaches on the river declare that the Pennsylvania boat will have little or no trouble In walking away from the other boats. Poughkeoprto la expecting the van guard of the crowd tomorrow mornlnjjr. and tho general idea hero is that there will be more people) here to witness Tuesday's races than ever fore, al though very few are here yet.
