The supreme court Tuesday afterdoen rendered it's decision In the case of Philip C Decker, et the (leriuau bank of Evausville. who was committed te tlia county jail by the state tax commissioners for refusing te produce a list of depositors te the assessor. The point decided by the court is that se much of the tax law as confers npeu the tax commission the power te Hue and imprison is unconstitutional. The court holds that the authority te Una and im prison is judicial, which can only be exercised by the courts, anil that the tax commission is net u court und hence eau net deprive a citizen of his liberty. It is suggested that while the tax lieard can net punish for contempt that the desired end may be attained by lodging a complaint with the proper court There is nothing in the decision denying the right te Inquire into a bitult's deposits, and the inference from the dccNien Is plain that all thut Is necessary Is te w. ueiend the law lis te bring cases of contempt before the courts. The effect of this decision Is te make inoperative only se much of the tiix law as gave the commission author ity te punish contempt by fine and Im prisonment ATROCIOUS lit the Murder of Jlur.r Werthrlmer'n Ihree-MentlM-Old Ilnbc.

Ad vices have been received here that an engagement has been fought a few miles south of Les TequOs between 400 government troops and 3r0 insurgents, mounted en mustungs and armed with lances.

Early en Saturday morning the column of Insurgent cuv alry rode down upon the pickets of the government camp and drove them in. The government troops were well cov ered by temporary fortifications, and as the camp was pitched upon an elevation, it was difficult for the rebel horsemen te dislodge them, but any further ad ad vance towards La Victeria was eHect ually stepped. The regulars had the additional ad vantage of two guns und improved rifles. It was the purpose of the In surgents te drive Palacio's troops back into Les Teques, but after fighting all day Saturday the latter still held their ground. An assault was made nt neon, the revolutionists riding as near as pos sible, then they suddenly dashed from their ponies and flew up the steep as cent but were driven back. The insurgents left nearly one-third dead und dying en the field. They re treated te the hills under cover of a body of ttucrras infantry, which kept up a desultory firing all the afternoon with the pickets that were put out just as seen as the attacking party re tired. The government troops sustained a less of only twenty-five men killed and tldrteen injured. The hospital tent is full of insurgent wounded. They have been offered amnesty If they ugrec te enroll themselves in the government ranks in the event of their recovery. The government troops in this fight were under command of an Ameri can who was sent away from West Point before his term of study was completed for acts of insulordinatien. He afterward ap peared in Seuth America" as a civil en gineer and accepted a place in the dic tator's army en account of the pay and premises of political advancement at the close of the war.

CROP REPORTS. I'riOn Twenty-Twe Mule en Cotten, Cern - mid lnMit. Mny 11. The Times pre- New eiik. sentcd Tint-day morning spcelal dis patches from lbs correspondents in twenty-two states In the union, giving a careful and conservative summary of the acreage, condition, prospects, and probable yield of cotton, corn and wheat The states from which the In formation comes an; the leading' ones engaged in the growing of the articles named. The significant fact about the cotton crop is the decrease in acreage. That there is such a decrease is reasonably certain, though opinions differ as te hew great it Is. Estimates run from 10 te 15 per cent less in Louisiana te 30 te 35 per cent less In Virginia. Drought has seriously affected the crop in some states, in ethers it is reported te be In excellent condition. The total yield will be less than last year. Cern has suffered from the la'te spring in the greut corn-growing states, but mere particularly from continuous and heavy rains. In some states the plow ing Is net hulf done, while in ethers It has net even been begun. Still. If geed weather should come at once, there would be an average acreage and yield. Of the great wheat-growing states Seuth Dakota is the only one that pro vides a large crop. In Minnesota the weeks of cold rain have made the pros pects far from flattering. Similar con ditions have 'prevailed In Wisconsin in a less degree, and the outlook for a large crop Is net geed. Washington has enjoyed geed weath er, and though North Dakota hits had a wet spring, it is confident of a geed crop. t Frem Illinois, Kansas and Ohie the report are net encouraging, though these states have suffered from the spring rains.
