;, All aorU of vcnthor prornllod during tho an-
; sunl regatta of tbu Harlem Yacht Club, which
was nulled on Long Islund Sound yesterday
' afternoon. Dut ono serious accident marred tho
' i port, that being tho collision between tho sloop
i Mllllonnlro and tho constlnir Hchooncr L. L.
' Hamlin of Providence, It. I, Tho yacht, which at
1 the tlmo had tho rigbt, of way, strictly speaking,
L tried to cross tho bows of tho coaster, and when
J? her skipper discovered that tho nianrcuvre was
f impossible, ho went ubaut. Just as she filled
E away the big schooner struck tho yacht with tho
bluff part of her pot t bow, and, tangling her cat.
t head nnd bowsprit spreader In tho port shrouds
' of tho yacht, sho carried hor Btorn ilrst for somo
u distance heforo tho gear itavo way. Then tho
sloop, her topmast going by the board, droppod
astern.
Tureo men wcro knocked ovorboard from the
yacht. Ono vrus plckod up by tho steamboat
Knglo of Norwalk, Conn., nnd tho lines were
'' thrown from tho boUoonor's deck to tho other
two, who wero struggling In tho water. Itoyoncl
tho Involuntary bath tho nion wero not Injured.
t Tho yacht, howover, was towed to Harlem by
' tho Eaglo minus hor topmast and her port
T shrouds.
A sorrowful morning makes a joyful after
' noon, lly 11 o'clock tlioro was nothing but bluo
sky in sight, and the sun shono out warm and
encouraging. Tho ono thing lacking not India
pcnsablo to excursionists but all in all to yachts
menwas wind. Tho start was scheduled for 1
i o'clock, but tho dead calm forbado tho carrying
I out of that arrangement, nnd tho regatta com-
mltteo had to wnlttlll 1:30 fortho first wolcomo
J breath of nlr. Andwhon it did como It was
I from tho southeast by Bouth, nnd wob Just
enough to till tbo Hnowv canvas of tho largo fleet
f that hud nsnt.iiblcd off Bcldcn Point.
During tho .ftcrnoon the yachtsmen had tho
f wind, such is it was, from all points of the com-
1 pass. Thuro was a tlmo limit of six hours put
L' on tho raves, with tho saving clauso that if
f boat in any class finished in that time her no
doing would mako a technical race for nil the
V othor classes. At thnt it looked for tho greater
h. part of tho afternoon as if tho Bulling would bo
f ' lovo's labor lost," and thoro would bo no race
r ' after all. Hut JKolus relented, and by 3 o'clock
- tho zephyr under whose gentle intluenco tho
.' boats had. started had devolopod Into a fair sail
ing broezc. Tho boats finished under a wind
that blew fair and strong out of tho northwest.
The preparatory signal was soundod at 1:25 :0O,
and ten minutes Inter tho signal for twats over
30 feet sont them on their journey, with booms
broad on" to port. Tho course whs from an im
aginary lino to and around a stakeboat anchored
lnsido of Throg's Neck, keeping tho samo to
' port in rounding it, thonro toward Matlnlcock
; Point, kcoplng Stepping Stones Light to star-
, board In passing, to and around Matlnlcock
t Point buoy, keeping the samo to port In round-
Ing. and returning directly to the finishing line.
' Distance, twenty nautical miles.
1 Five minutes lator the yachts under twenty
feet drifted over the mark, the course for them
being the short triangle, passing around Old
' lien buoy, keeping tho same on tho port hand.
Distance, about twclvo nautical miles.
The floot of yachts in tho classes between
twenty and thirty foet was started flvo mill-
utes later, SAlllng over tho long course, but
l omitting tho run to Throg's Neck buoy. Dis
tance sixteen nautical miles.
, Interest centred In the contest between Mary
i B. and l'ontiac for tho Williams cup, tho flrst-
,, namod craft having won tho trophy in 1891 and
; 1805. whllo Pont lac defeated her field last year,
s and won again yesterday, the conditions under
which tho cup was offered being that it should bo
i won thrco timos not necessarily consecutive
t before becoming tho permanent property of the
winning yacht.
; Pontlaa led the fleet at the outer mark and
4 eventually defeated her rival In a handsome
!f manner. It is possible, however, that the sloop
f llllllonalro would have mode a strong bid for
f the trophy but for her accident.
J Under tho Influence of the freshening breeze
f. tho yachts, after tacking around the spar buoy
e off Matlnlcock Point, buried their lee rails under
. tho green water in the thresh to windward to
E Throg's Keck. Tho wind, however, kept veer-
5 ing around to the westward, and before the homo
6 buoy was passed was coming strong out of the
northwest, tho last boats finishing In a doss
f reach to Belden Point and a beat in across tho
K- finish lino. Tho summaries ore:

The THIrty-Footer Hens Disabled by a Oltlslen
wllh the rejitek.
Tho ceremonies attendant upon the going into
commission of tho Atlantic Yacht Club and the
subsequent nice for all classes over the club's
triangular courses In tho lower bay attracted a
goodly number of yachtsmen and their friends
to Hayltldgo yesterday afternoon.
Among tho yachting enthusiasts who partici
pated in tho function of mastheading the club
burgee wcro a goodly number of handsomely
gowned ladles who braved tho threatening ele
ments nnd enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
Tho flag was broken out at 10:30 o'clock in the
morning upon a signal from Vice-Commodoro
Adams's Snchcni, nnd tho flag was saluted by
answering guns from tho yachts at anchor, each
craft firing n stnglo gun In quick succession.
Among the yachts thattugged nt their moorings
were:

Upon a signal from tho Sachem the fleet got
under way and prococded to tho starting line.
Shortly after the preliminary gun was fired tho
Feydoh poked hor bowsprit through thn main
sail of tho crack thirty-footer Hora. Tho now
boat was closo hnulod on tho port tack and the
Hora was going f mo and could hnvo easily kept
out of tho way of Feydeh had Italph Ellis soen
that a collision whs Imminent.
It took considerable tlmo to separate the two.
and it looked nt ono tlmo as if they would foul
tho commltteo boat. All satis were lowered and
then Hera waB pushed away from tho other
Vice-Commodore Adams, with n party of
ladies on board tho Snchom, sailed in consort
with tho fleet ovor the ontlro course. The
Kmornld wont down the bay at tho start and
then returned. ...
Later in tho day, when tho breeze had fresh
ened, sho ngnln Balled down nnd met the return
ing racors. Sachem was then sailing very fast
Kmcrnld enmo around tho storn of tho flagship
nnd chased her back to tho club anchorago oft
Bay HIdge.
Tho wind was south by east at tho Btart. nnd
the tldo tho last of tho ebb. Tho yachts were
sent away in threo divisions to a one-gun start,
and crossed the line in tho following order:
Eclipse, Wa Wa, Huinie, Aklsta, Canopus, Uydrlad,
Eidolon, Iota. Squaw, Dorothy, Qui Vlre, Etbel,
Feydeh, and Uncas.
It was a beat for all hands to tho outer marks
and, undor the conditions, the larger boats wore
sent over a lW-mtlo courso to the southwest
spit nnd return, while the smaller craft Went to
Swash channel buoy and back, a distance of llHi
miles.
Tho majority of boats hugged the Staten
Island shore until they passed the Narrows, to
Set tho benefit of the last of the tide, but about
:30 o'clock, just attor tho fleet had passed the
hospital islands, the wind died out.
The new Aklsta, with her leg-of-mutton sail,
did surprisingly woll with the thirty-footers in
the windward work and led tho Eidolon quite a,
distance. After about an hour's calm, during
which time the yachts drifted aimlessly about,
the tide shifted, and It appeared as though the
graceful craft would nover get around the outer
marks.
Tho Wa W, however, finally managed to
round tho Southwest Spit at 4:38:40. The
Musme, which was scarcely fifty feet astern,
did not get around until over fourmlnutes later.
Then a nico Balling breezn came In from the
northwest, and at 4:50 tho Ecllpso carried away
her topmast in a particularly vicious puff.
Tho other yachts rounded tho outer mark and
were timed in tho following order:
Aklsta. 4:44:30; Eclipse, 4:45:45; Eidolon. 4:47:60;
tola. 4:53.00.
The raco was finished without further mishap
and the yachts wero timed at the horns mark as
follows:
Squaw, 0:23:00; Qui Vlre. 5:59:10: Ethel. 3138:12;
Feydeh, B:4 1:00; Waws. 0:00:45: Eclipse, 8:01:38;

Certain Marcbea as Ordered.
Wabiiinoton, May 31. Prof, PuncIulU, the
leader of thn famous Marino Dnnd, was summa
rily arrested this morning while the memorial
parado was forming, nt the order ot Lieut. Dra
per of the Marino Corps, commanding the ma
rino contingent. I .lent. Draper was of tho opin
ion that the band should play marches like "Kl
Capltan." Instead of fiiucrul dirges, but when he
gave the order to Kanciulli tho In ttcr refused to
obey, ea) ing that ho and not the Lieutenant was
the best Judge uf what muslo should boplavcd.
Col. Charles n wood, commandant of the Ma
rine Corps, nnd Capt, Ilurrington happened to be
present when tbo controversy between the Lieu
tenant nnd the Professor took place, and they
agreed that his arrest was entirely proper and

London, May 31. The International chess
match between members of tho House of Com
mons and membors of tho Amorican Houso of
Representatives began shortly after 7 o'clock
this ovcnlug, following tho exchange of mes
sages by the Right Hon. William Court Gully,
Speaker of tho House of Commons; tho
Hon. Thomas II. Reed, Speaker nt tho House
of Representatives; Col. John Hay, the Amori
can Ambassador here, and Sir Julian Paunee
fote. tho British Ambassador nt Washington.
Speaker dully was not present nt tho actual
opening of tho tournament, owing to tho fact
that buslnoss requiring his presence was being
transacted In the House.
The sentiments expressed in the opening mes
sages and tho replies thereto wero loudly
cheered, Thu room occupied by the players
wns crowded. Ambassador Hay arrived at
about 7 o'clock and remained for three
quarters ot an hour. Mr. Btgolow, ex
President of tho Manhattan Chess Club, was
among those present. Between the divisions
that weru being taken in the House on the
Workmen's Accident bill the members prossed
into tho room and eagerly watched the progress
of the games, Tbo Ministers who watched
the playing wero the Right Hon, (', )',
Ritchie. President of tho Board ot Trade, and
tbo Right Hon. Henry Chnplln. President ot tbo
Local Government Board. The Right Hon.
Gerald Balfour. Chief Secretary for Ireland,
and tho Right Hon. R. W. Hanbury, Financial
Secretary to the Treasury, wero also interested
spectators of the moves.
Great enthusiasm was created by Plunkett's
rapid flay against Congressman Poarson, who
was doreaiod after sixteen moves, Tho Interest
in tho playing Increased as the evening ml
vamed. The most cordial feeling Is being shown
throughout,
On tho first board Pearson accepted a King's
Bishop Guinlilll offered by Plunkett. The lat
ter proceeded in a spirited manner. Owing to
bluck not being ablo to defend properly, the
Britisher was about to win bands down, when
black resigned after sixteen moves.
An Interesting game was tho one betwoen
Shafroth and Parnoll, a French Defence, which
wns pretty evenly contested until tho time of
adjournment.
Strauss opened on tho third board with a Ruy
Lopez, which wns cleverly defended by Bodlne,
Ktentually tho latter got a line uttack and ha
won tbo gamo. Tho score, unfortunately, was
not recorded properly.
Still another Ruy Lopex was played on tho
fourth board. Block won a piece for two pawns,
and the American player will find It therefore
rather difficult to even up matters. Still, when

A Divorced Woman. She Was ta Have Sfar

Atlantic Citt, N. J., May 31. Mrs. Phcobo
H. Phillips, proprietress of the Kennctt House
on Ocean avenue, was shot four times and prob
ably mortally wounded to-day by Robert Hlb
bcrt.wbom she had promised to marry to-morrow.
Seven years ago Mrs. Phillips, who lived in
Philadelphia, obtained a divorce from her hus
band. With her two sons and a daughter, Mrs.
Phillips moved to Kennctt Square. Pa., where.
in April, 1801, she becamo tho matron of
the Eennett Square Academy. There she formed
an intimate acquaintance with Robert Ulbbert,
a student, then only 19 years ot age. When
Ulbbert graduated. Mrs. Phillips resigned her
place as matron and opened the boarding house
on Ocean avenue in this city, where Ulbbert
joined her.
Notwithstanding the disparity In their ages.
Mrs. Phillips being now 43 years old and Ulb
bert twenty-one years her Junior, their relations
became very close and, according to the ante
mortem statement of the woman, young Ulbbert
persistently wooed her. She say she steadfastly
declined for over a year, during all of which
time Ulbbert lived In the Kennett House as one
of the family. Recently Mrs. Phillips consented
to marry her youthful suitor and June 1 was
appointed for the wedding day.
Ulbbert was a machinist, but lost his place
about two months ago. On Saturday last he
packed his valise and went to Phil
adelphia, where ho bought a cheap six-chambered
32-calibre revolver. He returned
that evening, but left bis baggage at the Penn
sylvania Railway station. This morning about
half past ten o'clock ho entered tbo kitchen of
the boarding house and said to Mrs. Phillips:
"Como here. I want you."
Ulbbert led the way to Mrs. Phillips's bedroom,
nnd locked the door securely. Mrs. Phillips, ac
cording to her ante-mortem statement, asked
Hlbbcrt what the trouble was, nnd he replied
that it was time for them to part. Mrs. Phillips
asked if he wsb going to leave her, and be re
plied: " No, vou aro going away."
As he spoke Hlbbertarow his revolver and
fired at Mrs. Phillips four times. The llrst bullet
struck her behind the right ear. As she turned
to flee, n socond bullet struck her on the right
side of tho neck and sho fell. Hlbbert'snext
shot took effect In the fleshy part of her right
forearm and tho fourth struck tho steels In her
corsets and glanced off.
Sirs. Phillips's screams and the firing brought
her daughter to the room. The young girl burst
the door open, nnd found her mother prostrnto
on the floor In a pool of blood. Ulb
bert was standing over her nnd fired
a fifth shot nt her, but it missed. The
dnughtcr ran, calling for help, and her mother
struggled to her feet nnd managed to reach
another room, whero sho again fell exhausted.
Hihbcrt turned the revolver on himself nnd at
tempted to send tho remaining cartridge Into
his bruin, but It missed lire. Ho then walked to
Police Headquarters and surrendered himself.
Ulbbert said to tho poller: "I have shot a
woman. You had better tako care of roc." He
protested that bo had no Intention of killing
Mrs. Phillips when ho bought thu revolver, ana
expressed his hope that she might live, Ho said
ho had noticed a ihnnge in her demeanor toward
him: that alio tieatcd him coldly, nnd that ho
had becomo tired nnd disgusted with tliclrraodo
of living nnd wanted to quit. Ho was iirralgnod
before Hocorder Ingersoll this nftemoon and
committed without bail to await the result of
Mrs. Philllps'h Injuries.
The wounded woman was taken to the city
hospital. All but ono of the bullets were ex
tracted. After making her ante-mortem state
ment she pleaded with tbo police ofllclals to
spare Htbbcrt'a life if sho should die.

Hosfonl B. Nlles, President of tho Equltablo
Collection Agency ot Tomplo Court, 5 Bockman
street, committed suicide by inhaling gas In his
room at i!18 West Sixteenth street yestorday.
Tho daughter of Mr. Nlles. who wns 70 years
old, was marrlod to Albert Brewer of Tlfliu,
Ohio, on April 'JH. and since then ho had been
depressed. Tho Illness of n Miss Hasscmcr, w ho
acted as his confidential clerk, nlso proyed upon
his mind nnd rendered It, tho police think, un
balanced. Mr. Nlles rented his house in Whltcstonc, U I.,
several months ago and took a lodging nt218
West Sixteenth strcoL Miss Mary Burt, who
Is said to be a distant rclatlvo ot Nlles, occupied
a room adjoining his. Mr. Nlles and Miss Burt
went out on Sunday and made several calls.
They had dinner together, and Miss Burt no
ticed that Mr. Nlles scarcely touched his food.
When thoy returned to tho lodging houso Mr.
Nlles wen t at once to his room. Nothing moro was
seen of him until about 11:30 o'clock yesterday
morning, when Lucius Simpson, tho landlord ot
the bouse, smellod an odor of gas from his room.
The landlord cntcrod tho bedroom and found
Mr. Nlles on tho bod dead. Tho gas was turned
fully on, and ono end of a gas tube wsb clinched
firmly between tho suicide's troth. It wns re
moved with difficulty. Tho following letter lay
on tho bureau in tbo room:
"Dear Mrh. Whitlock: I got your paper
with all tho uewz of Ghent. Now that May is
over, I suppose all your gayotios will cease, as
do mine. My daughter was married on tho
28th at tho Marlborough Hotel. I gavo a din
ner for tho wedding party in tho private parlors
which lasted from 2 to 4 P. M.
" Sho and tho groom took tho 0 P. St. train for
Tlflln, Ohio, their futuro home. Tho wedding
had to be postponed from April 24, tho tlmo
originally Axed, ns befell and hurt hlniBulf nnd
could not como on. That samo night wo had
our annual Shnkeepeare dinner nt the same ho
tel. I took tho bridesmaid. It was a grand
affair.
" I road an original poem on the supernatural
in Shakespeare, and was called before tho cur
tain, so to speak.
"You see. I have left 41 East Fiftieth street.
Harriet wanted to come and stay with me a
while and I did not bavu room enough here.
My girl at the ofllco has boon sick for several
days and I have my noso right to tho grindstone.
"Brokomy gold pen, and it 1 write at all to
night, must use lead pencil. So you must ex
cuse doing this letter up in proper style. Your
friend. H. B. Nileh."
Miss Burt said sho did not know tho Mrs.
Whitlock to w Loin tho letter was addressed. A
number ot poems, all tyjicwrittcn and apparent
ly tho composition of Nlles, was also found
among the suicide's effects. The following is nn
extract, presumably, from tho poem which he
road at tho dinner alluded to:
Tha noble Brutus drank a bowl of wine.
And after music and lullaby
Cams Casar's wakeful ghost to chat with him
Of Phlllppl.
It made bis blood run cold, "hair to stand."
He cried -Awake, boy Lucius, awake!"
And forever srter balmy Bleep
Ills eyes defy.
Jf oral.
Look not upon the ruby wine at night.
Nor linger tn the concert halla too long.
Lest your late that of noble Brutus bo

Another specimen of the verses is as follows:
When Rome was full of fire and gliding spirits.
And ghosts did shriek and squeal about the streets,
Bbe relgnel and all the truod things of the world
Did Romans munch.
Then came the Itching palm and clvtl strife.
And bloody war and retributions dire.
Till all that's left of Rome to be desired
Is Roman punch.
Jfural.
'While kindly fortune caui-s a gliding spirit
Of warning apook, like Julius setz. upon her and
Keepdogs that bay the moon, nut dogs of war,

Mr. Nlles was a member of tho Republican
Club as well as of the Fortnightly Shakespeare
Club, at which ho read theso verses. He was
apparently wealthy at ono time, but had met
with reverses the last ) oar.
FATAL JlOir OVER FXTE CENTS.
A Crap Player Sboata aad Wound. Another,
and Kill. Ills Mlstreu.
Austin Stewart, a negro who does odd Jobs of
kalsomining, shot and killed Virginia Johnson,
a 25-) car-old mulatto, at ti:30 o'clock last even
ing in the court yard of the rear tenement at
333 West Korty-socoud street.
The murder followed quick upon the shooting
of Edward Hatnru, a colored driver, 25 years
old. who lived with tho woman in her Mat on tho
third floor of the rear tenement. Rnmm and
Stewart had been playing craps for coppers in
the courtyard for somo time, and Stewart de
clared that Ramm owed him ten cents. Ramm
insisted that ho only owed a nickel, and called
Stewart a liar,
Stewart becoming enraged pulled a 38-callbro
revolver from his pocket and tired tnlce nt
Ramm. Tho first bullet flew wide, but tho
second entered Ramm's left side. He fell
groaning to the pavement. Tho Johnson woman,
who hod come downstairs, remonstrated hys
terically with Stewart nnd struck him in tho
face. Stewart raised tho revolver again und
fired at tho negrcss. Tbo bullet struck her just
above the heart and she fell dead. Thcro was a
fourth shot, which tho tenants of tho tenement
think Stewart intended for Ramm, who lay
prostrate heforo him, but It did no harm.
Tho tenants ran scroamlng to tho street, whllo
Stewart went to the comer where Policeman
Schroeder of tho West Thirty-seventh street
station bad just come on duty. Stewart told
him that he had shot a man and woman. Act
ing Captain Hulso locked Stownrt up in tho sta
tion. Tho prisoner declared that no did not
shoot the woman until sho first threatened and
then struck him.
The bullot drod bv Stewart was removed from
Ramm's side at tho Roosevelt Hospital, and thn
surgeons said ho would recover. Stewart, who
Is about 2S. has n rather forbidding counte
nance and n sullen manner. Acting Captain
Hulse thinks ho is nn ox-convict. Coroner Fitz
patrick took charge of tho body ot tho murdered
negrcss.

Wo hear ft great deal, Just now, about Spring

Nnturo will throw oil tho rhoums in tho blood
which hnvo accumulated during tho Winter If
sho has only a llttlo help. Andallttlo gentle

" But," you may say, " what do you mean by
stimulant, nnd what do I require 1" We an
swer, something absolutely puro, powerful, and
which has been proved to abundantly answer
tho purpose. Unquestionably, whiskey, if oftho
right kind, is tho proper thing to use, but unfor
tunately, thcro aro tow good whiskies in tho
markot. Duffy's puro matt has been upon tho
market (or years. It has tho unqualified In
dorsement ot physicians and chemists, and it Is
tho only whiskey which can bo recommended.
It is true, certain unscrupulous druggists and
grocers scok to soil othor and Inferior goods,
claiming they aro equal to Du fly's, but thoy pos
sess llttlo purity and no medicinal power what
ever, whereas Duffy's Is specially designed bm a
medicinal whiskey. It would bo woll to bear
theso facts in mind when considering tho sub

Congressman Quigg, the now President of ths
Republican County Committee, Installed him
self yesterday in county headquarters at 1 Mad
ieon avenue, permanently, for tho Greater New
York campaign. He will devote all his time
and energies from now on toward bringing about
tho nomination asd election of a Republican
candidate for Mayor.
The first duty that has been imposed on him is
to arrango for the conference between repro
sen tat Ives of the Republican organizations ot
New York, Kings, Richmond, and Queens coun
tios. which will fix tbo basis of representation
fortho City Convention.
Mr. Quigg will Issue a call on Thursday (or
a meeting of the conferees which will
probably bo held some time next week. Tha
leaders of tho several local organizations
interested aro practically agreed as to the
proportionate representation of the several
sections, so that the only matter really to
bo finally determined by the conference is the
number of tho delegates that Is, whether the
convention which will nominate the Republican
city ticket shall bo a big one or a comparatively
small one.
There Is n desire In some quarters to make It
a rousing demonstration, with as many dele-
fntcs as are sent to a Republican State Conven
ion. Uthorsareof the opinion that a conven
tion of half that sizo would be about the right
thing.

ENDING THE DISPENSARY. I

Judge Slmonl.n Decide. That Liquor. In Oris- 'fl
Inal Package. May lie Imported luin Month tU
Carolina tiov. Kllerbe'a Threat to In..
the Dispensary In Caso or Such Dcrlalon,
Columbia, S. C, Mar 31. Judge Stmonton to
day filed his decision In tho Vnndcrcock dis
pensary caso. Ho pronounces unconstitutional
thoso parts of tho act ot 1807 restricting tho Im
portation ot liquor in original packages for per
sonal use or tho sale of such original packages I
wrlthln thlsStato for uso In tho State. This It
regarded as tho dispensary's death blow.
" I am astonished," ejaculated Oov. Kllerbe at
2 o'clock this afternoon when Judgo Slinonton'i
decision was shown hluu Tho r.oxt instant tha
Governor showed that, though astonished, ha
was not paralyzed, for an earthquako came snd
he sprang from his shaking chair. "I can say
nothing beforo consulting with tho Attorney
General, who is now out of the city," the Gov
ernor Anally said. J
A shipment of wlnos from Vnndcrcock In Cal- V.
I torn la to a party of Charleston gentlemen "as i
seized lost winter. Tho California dealer cnn J
tended he bad tbo right to bring liquors into the
State, to establish warehouses, and to sell from
such establishments the original packages for
personal use. On that contention ho nppcnlml
to ths Circuit CourL Tho Stoto becamo ner
vous. It was tho first time this question had v
been sprung and tho issue was dreaded. It of- 1
(ered to return the confiscated wines, l
but Vandcrcock would not tompromle
Arguments were mado thrco weeks ngo,
J. P. Kennedr Bryan of Charleston itp.
resenting Vandcrcock ond Attornoy-Gcmral
Barber the dispensary. In his decision Judgu
Slmonton Is very clear. Ho declares the right of
a State to prevent the manufacture or sale of
liquor within Its borders In the exercise of
police powors, but maintains thnt w ben a state
recognizes and approves such manufacture nnd
sale ot liquor as a beverage by engaging In It for
profit It precludes the idea that such sale Is con
sidered injurious to the public welfare, and It :
not a lawful exercise of police power to forbid
tbo importation of such liquors or tholr sale in
original packages for persona use nnd consump
tion, such prohibition undertboviclrcunutnnccs I
being In conflict with laws of intcrstato and for
eign commerce.
The Judge holds that as tho Dispensary law,
amended by the last Legislature, provides for
the sale of liquor as a beverage in uld of tha
finances of the State, in so far as It prohibits the
Importation of liquor in original packages for
personal uso and the solo of such orignal pack
ages within this State it is In conflict with inter
state commcrco and void. By tbo decision ot
the United States Supremo Court, he says. It is
clear that as long as the State recognizes that
the use ot liquor as a beverage is lawful and to
be encouraged; as long as ltM.clcs a monopoly In
supplying such liquor. It cannot constitution
ally forbid or hinder commerce In such liquor
between Its citizens and those of other States.
Oov. Ellcrbcsald two weeks ago that If s'lmon
ton decided this case against tho dispensary he
would shut it down. An extra session of the
Legislature may be called; otherwise tho dis
pensary must be cJo-cd. It could not pay ex
penses under this decision. The Staf has In
the various dispensaries between 8260,000 and
000,000 worth of liquors.
IXTESTIOATIXQ ESSIOX STOXE.
A Court or Inquiry on tho 31alne to Oee Whether
He Ought to De Court-Hartlalled or .Vat.
A court of inquiry was convened on the battl
ship Maine in the Brooklyn Navy Yard yester
day afternoon in the case of Knsign George L. P.
Stone, who is accused by Mr. Swits Conde of
conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.
The President of the court was Capt. Sigsbee of
the Maine and the Judge-Advocate was Lieut.
Barnctt. U. S. M. C. of the Vermont. The prov
ince of the court was to determine whether En
sign Stone should be court-martialied or not.
The hearing took place behind closed doors In
the Captain's cabin at 1:30 o'clock. The basis
of the Inquiry was the letter of Mr. Conde"
charging Stone with trying to abduct Miss
Conde from a hotel in syracuso nnd to obtain
entrance into Mr. Conde's house in Oswego
under a false name. Ensign Stone made a state
ment in which he denied having done anything
improper. He said he loved the girl and he in
tended to marry her. and so far he bod not used
other than legitimate means to gain his end.
Ensign Osborne, who accompanied Stone in tha
Syruouse-Oswego fiasco, said that he was Stone's
friend, and as such had stood by him. and In
tended to do so in tho future. Mr. Condi did
not appear.
After the hearing Ensign Stone left the ship
with a smiling face, and returned to the Puritan,
whero he is nominally under arrest. Unless an
other hearing is hod for the purpose of listening
to Mr. Conde. the result of the inquiry will be
known in a short time.
