re cn great that a natural reluctance is
f ~ ,n appearing to interfere, even on con
1-itutiona: grounds, with any law whose
avowed purpose is to restrict or prevent
in. mischief. So long, however, as stare
legislation continues to recognize wines,
heer and spirituous liquors as articles of
lawful consumption and commerce, so
lmg must continue the duty of the fed
eral courts to afTord to such use and
commerce the same Measure of protec

* rtK ; :f -' ......
••It is important to observe that the stat
tre before us does not purport to prohibit
either the importation, the manufacture,
the sale or the use of intoxicating liq
uors. .....
“Those operations are turned over to
6tate functionaries, by whom alone, or
tinder whose direction, they are to be car
ried on.’
Discussing the allegation that the law
was an inspection law, Justice Shiras re
viewed the decisions of the court upon
state inspection statutes to regulate other
articles and the opinion concluded: “In
the light of these cases, the act of South
Carolina of Jan. 2, 1895, must, as to those
provisions which effect the plaintiffs in
the present suits, stand condemned.
“It is not an inspection law. The pro
hibition of the importation of the wines
and liquors of other states by citizens of
South Carolina for their own use is made
absolute, and does not depend on the
purity or impurity of the articles. Only
tiie state functionaries are permitted to
Import into the state, and thus citizens
who wish to use foreign wines and liq
uors are deprived of the exercise of their
own judgment and taste in the selection
of commodities. To empower a state
chemist to pass upon what the law calls
the “alcoholic purity’’ of such importa
tions by chemical analysis can scarcely
come within any definition of a reasonable
inspection law.
“It is not a law purporting to forbid the
Importation, manufacture, sale and use of
intoxicating liquors, as articles detrimen
tal to the welfare of the state and to the
health of the inhabitants, and hence it is
not within the scope and operation of the
act of congress of August, 1890. That law
was not Intended to confer upon any state
the power to discriminate Injuriously
against the products of other states in ar
ticles, whose manufacture and use are
not forbidden, and which are, therefore,
the subjects of legitimate commerce. The
question whether a given state law is a
lawful exercise of the police power is
still open, and must remain, open to this
court Such a law may forbid entirely
the manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors and tie valid. Or it may provide
equal regulation for the inspection and
sale of all domestic and imported liquors
nd he valid. But the state cannot, un
der the congressional legislation referred
10, establish a system, which in effect
di> riminates between interstate and do
mestic commerce in commodities to make
anl use. which are admitted to be law
ful.
It was pressed on us in the argument
that it is not competent for a state, in
the exerdse of its police power, to mo
nopolize the traffic in intoxicating liquors,
arl thus put itself in competition with
the citizens of the other states. This
phase of the subject is novel and interest
ing. but wo do not think it necessary for
'is now to consider it. It is sufficient for
the present cases to hold, as we do, that
"hen a state recognises the manufacture,
Mlo and use of intoxicating li
quors as lawful, it cannot dis
criminate against the bringing
of such articles in, and the Importing them
from other states; that such legislation
I' void as a hindrance to Interstate com
merce. and an unjust preference of the
irodu -ts of the enacting state as against
similar products of the other states.
"There has been filed in the record a
suggestion by the attorney general of the
nee of South Carolina that, since the
'rials of these cases in the court below,
’here ha- been passed by the general as
eemhlv of that state a further act ap
pnord hy the governor on March 6. 1896,
whi. h a t it is submitted, supersedes and
repeals part of the act which has been un
l,er consideration in these cases; and we
r, a„ked to consider th* provisions of
•he more recent act.
rto far as these actions at ’.aw are con
• I it is, of course, obvious that the
damages recovered were for acts com
w ■ I under the alleged uuthorit.v of the
of 1891., and cannot be affected hv the
provisions of the act of 1896, even if the
n\oddities of the former act were there
v r. mt died—a matter on which we ex
rrm no optnion.”

' rlwile Pension Bills in the House,
llie Mcnrnuue (mini.
Washington, Jan. 19,-The House'spent
" h,)l ® of to-day’s session in commlt
'• of the whole, considering private pen
'' hills. Favorable action was taken
n hf’y-two of them, one being the
’' oate bill to increase to 800 a month the
I'm toil of MaJ. Oen. Julius H. Stahcl. <
' he first bin called up was for the re
in ,| of S ? ril ; Margaret O'Donnell, a nurse
i , ! alted States army. An objection
wen made to the bill when it wa
last under consideration, and it was post
poned until a more auspicious occasion.
Upon the reading of the title, Mr. Milner,
rep., of Michigan, announced that since
that time the proposed beneficiary or the
bill had died, and he, therefore, moved
that the bill lie on the table, which was
agreed to.
In the course of the afternoon the army
appropriation bill was received from the
Senate, and proceedings under the order
of business were suspended long enough
for the House to vote to disagree to the
Senate amendments, and to agree to a
conference therfeon. Messrs. Hull, rep.,
of lowa, Parker, rep., of New Jersey and
McClellan, dem., of New York were
named as referees.
After spending three hours In passing
upon bills as placed upon the calendar,
Mr. Thomas, rep., of Michigan, in charge
of the hills, stated that many members
had told him they had bills pending,
which it was important should be passed
at this session. For himself, he was will
ing to waive objection to members calling
up bills out of the regular order for the
rest of the day. His motion that mem
bers be permitted thus to call for bills
they were interested in was agreed to,
and a most amusing scene occurred.
Mr. Willis, rep. of Delaware, was the
first gentleman to obtain recognition, and
wh)le the clerk was reading the bill, the
steps leading to the speaker's chair
swarmed with members urging Chairman
Henderson to favor them. The struggle
was earnest and noisy, and the few mem
bers remaining on the floor laughed and
app.auded their more energetic associates.
The hubbub was so great that the pro
ceedings had to be suspended until some
thing like order was restored. Progress
under the new order was much slower
than previously, there being half a hun
dred representatives on their feet and
yelling “Mr. Chairman,” after each bill
was passed, until the chairman had made
an election from among them. For forty
five minutes the House proceeded amid
much confusion, when something of a sen
sation occurred.
Mr. Steeple, rep. of Indiana, stated that
while lie recognized that many bills were
reported from the committee on invalid
pensions proposing legislation in behalf
of soldiers or their dependents, who were
entitled to special legislation, it was true
that nearly or fully 90 per cent, of the
bills were for persons no more entitled to
it than were thousands for whom it was
not asked, or, if asked, the requests had
died in the committee room. He was op
posed to the recent order; it was irregu
lar and unfair, and he protested against
its continuance. He had applied among
the first to the chairman for recognition,
repeating the application a second and
third time, but unsuccessfully.
Mr. Woods, rep., of Illinois, resented
the reflections cast upon the committee on
invalid pensions by the gentleman from
Indiana, saying that the House had in
creased the pensions of many claimants
over the amount recommended by the com
mittee.
Mr. Steele responded that he meant to
make no reflection on the committee, but
believing that such proceedings were not
right, he should vote against Friday night
sessions in future if this method of ob
taining recognition was to be continued.
Chairman Henderson explained that in
his recognition of members he was en
deavoring to follow the suggestions of the
committee on invalid pensions, so as to
reach some cases that demanded immedi
ate action and at the same time to do
what he conceived to be fair to the demo
cratic side of the House.
Mr. Steele—Well, the bill I wanted to call
up was for the benefit of a widow entirely
helpless and destitute.
Several Members—Oh, you don't believe
in such legislation, why do you want to
call it up?
Mr. Steele moved that the committee
rise, but the motion was lost.
However, on motion of Mr. Payne, rep.,
of New X°rk. the committee voted to take
up bills in their order on the calendar.
This restored quiet, and a few other bills
were acted upon, making a total of fifty
two for the afternoon.
The committee rose at 5:10. At the re
quest of Mr. Walker, rep., of Virginia, his
minority report upon the contested elec
tion case of Yost vs. Tucker, in favor of
seating Yost, was ordered printed.
At 5:15 the House adjourned until to
morrow.
In the Senate.
Washington, Jan. 19.—The Nicaraguan
canal bill was under consideration before
the Senate for two hours to-day. At least
that length of time was occupied by Mr.
Turpie, dem., of Indiana, in an attack upon
the measure, and in denunciation of the
Maritime Canal Company of Nicaragua,
which he characterized as a beggar and
a pariah in any rational financial system,
as an outcast and fugitive from the finan
cial world, and as totally discredited in
this and every other country. He is to
continue his speech to-morrow, when the
bill will come up as the unfinished busi
ness.
The legislative appropriation bill was
taken up after the Nicaraguan measure
had been laid aside, and was completed,
with the exception of provisions in rela
tion to the library of congress, which went
over without action till to-morrow.
Karly In the day’s proceedings Mr. Hill,
dem., of New York, spoke for an hour and
a half on a Joint resolution relating to the
electric subways in the District of Colum
bia. While it appeared to be a matter of
purely local interest. Mr. Hill's contention
was that it was a fight between the Uni
ted States electric light, which he refer
red to as the ’’old monopoly,” and the Po
tomaq Electric Light Company, owned
chiefly in New York, whose money and
property, legally invested in the District,
the joint resolution would confiscate. Mr.
Hill occupied the floor until the close of
the morning hour, when the matter went
over without action.
The resolution offered by Mr. Morgan
last week as to the default of the Pacific
Railroad Company and the one offered
yesterday hy Mr. Pettigrew as to the Ven
ezuelan and Guiana boundary arrange
ment were laid before the Senate, hut wont
over, the first indefinitely and the other
till to-morrow.
Monday next was fixed upon as the date
for the delivery of eulogies on the late
Speaker Crisp.
The Senate then, at 5:45 o'clock adjourn

Washington. Jan. 19.—Rev. Dr. Thomas
J. Conaty of Worcester, Mass., was in
stalled as rector of the Catholic Univer

of the McMahon hall oflphilosoph?, where
a large and distinguished audience had
gathered. Among those composing it
were Senator and Mrs. Carter, Senator
and Mrs. Roach, Senator Smith, Hon. D.
I. Murphy commissioner of pensions; the
wives of the Brazilian and Mexican minis
ters; Senor Andrade, the Venezuelan min
ister, and Senora Andrade; the Marquis
and Marquise de Chambrun, Gen. Thomas
O. Vincent, United States navy; Bishop
Hunt of the Methodist University, and

also present.
Among the members were Maj. John
Byrne of New York, John D. Keiley of
Brooklyn, John M. McGuire, surveyor of
the port of New York; Rev. Father La
velle, rector of the New York cathedral;
Gen. Lloyd Brice, Rev. B. S. Conaty of
Springfield, a brother of Dr. Conaty; Miss
K. C. Conaty. his sister, and several
friends from Massachusetts.
Mr. Patrick Conaty, the venerable

and trencher caps. Most of the lay stud
ents wore capes and ribbons of the papal
colors, gold and white, with which the
McMahon hall was tastefully decorated.
The proceedings began at 4 o’clock. The
pontifical brief of appointment was read
by Prof. Daniel W. Shea, secretary of the
university senate, as follows:
“To Our Beloved Son, James, Cardinal
Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore: Be
loved Son—lt is with pleasure that we have
received the letter which you sent us of
the meeting held in Washington to des
ignate another president of the university,
evincing, a-s it does, your eager desire to
provide for the welfare of the great, seat
of learning. Yielding to your request, we
have considered the names of three can
didates, whom you have proposed as
worthy to discharge the office of rector.
Of these we have deemed fit to choose,
and by our authority we do hereby ap
prove the first on the fist, namely, Thom
as J. Conaty. heretofore parish priest in
Worcester and professor of the summer
school. Both the learning and zeal for the
advancement of religion which character
ize this distinguished man, who is, by
your joint suffrages, recommended, inspire
us with the well-grounded hope that his
efforts will not be without abundant fruit
in watching over the interests of the uni
versity and in enhancing its lustre.
“How dear to our hearts Is the matter
cannot but be known to you, for you are
aware how unyielding was our solicitude
in founding this institution, that we
might deservedly reckon it among those
works, which, in the Interest of religion
and science, we have out of our loving af
fection, undertaken for the furtherance of
the glory of your country, and which we
have, with God’s help, been able to bring
to a happy issue. Meanwhile, as an ear
nest of heavenly grace, and as an evidence
of our spirit of good will, we most lov
ingly in the Lord Impart to you dur be
loved son, to the new president of the uni
versity, and to all its faculty the apos
tolic benediction.

discourse. He was applauded frequently
and evidently made an excellent impres

Among the congratulatory telegrams he
received was the one from Bishop Keane
dated Home: “Cordial greetings, prosit.”

GOING WILD OVER GOLD.
EXCITEMENT AT DAHLONEGA IS
RUNNING HIGH.
Prospectors Are Crowding Each Oth
er In tlie Fields—Some Itleh lie
turns Have Been Met With In the
Georgia Mountains—Many New
Mill* Arc Being Established
Throughout tlie Section—A New-
Process of Extracting the Precious
Aletnl Hns Caused the Revival of
Interest in Abnndoned Mines.
Atlanta, Ga.. Jan. 19.—A special to the
Evening Constitution from Dahlonega,
Ga., says:
The gold fever is on here, and it is run
ning higher every day. Old prospectors
from Cripple Creek and South Africa
are pouring in, and capitalists are taking
options as fast as they can obtain them.
There is no staking claims here, as the
property is all held under title. One hun
dred mines are being developed within a
radius of two miles of this town, where
an United States mint was located before
the war. That mint, by the way, coined
$26,000,000 in gold, but the discovery of the
California field, and the war broke up min
ing here, except in a small way and the
mint was abandoned.
In the old days the mining In this field
was all done by crude methods and more
gold was lost than was saved. Nothing
but surface ore was worked, as at a depth
of about forty feet, sulphurets were en
countered, and the amalgam plates would
not catch that.
Recently, A. French of Pittsburg, Pa.,
the largest steel spring manufacturer in
the world, has demonstrated that the
chlorination process is an economical way
of treating these ores and assays of the
tailings from the old mills show from $25
to SIOO per ton value, which has been al
lowed to escape. The old mines are be'ug
opened and assays from shafts 100 feet
deep give values running from $25 up.
Betz, the Philadelphia brewer, and
Christian Wahl of Milwaukee have obtain
ed very rich assays, the latter having
had ore to run as high as $l,lOO to the
ton. Judge Morris of Tennessee, who is
tunneling a mountain near here, struck
three veins which run from $29 to SSOO.
Ail this ore is saprolite, or partly de
composed, and easily mined. The belt is
of great length. The Creighton mine,
on one of these veins twenty-five miles
southwest of here, yielded 68,000 penny
weights last year, and the capacity is to
be doubled. PopJ and Dye and Holly
Spring are said to have taken out $13.-
000 In the last few months, using a ten
stamp mill.
Prospectors from South Africa say that
this belt in full of mines richer than the
famous Robinson mine, and they ail say
that this is destined to be a wonderful
mining camp. The whole section is wild
with excitement because, the more the de
velopment work goes on the greater the
••esults.
Veins, which are mere ribbons on the
surface, run together at varying depths
and widen out to t°n. fifty and 100 feet,
with increasing richness as they go down.
One company Is being organized to put in
a large plant with a 200-stamp mill, and
another syndicate is getting ready to put
in a 250-stamp mill, with a chlorination
plant large enough to treat all the concen
trates irom 600 stamps.

declared that the government believed the
measure they had taken was valuable la
that it would lead to the gradual disap
pearance of vast armanents before the
growth of the tendency to substitute ju
dicial decisions for the coarse arbitrament
of war. This would be something to look
back upon.
In conclusion Lord Salisbury said: "I
hope that the effort, small as it is. will
be so successful that others more extensive
and more successful will be made.”
The prime minister was heartily cheer
ed when he finished his speech.
Lord Castletown, liberal, gave notice
that he would raise the question of the
financial relations between Great Britain

The address in reply to the queen’s
speech was then adopted and the House

SI LLIVAN AND O’NEILL ON TRIAL.
Tile Testimony of the State and Purt
of the Defense Finished.
The twelfth Juror In the case of the
state against Maurice F. Sullivan and
Simon J. O’Neill, was secured yesterday
morning shortly after court convened at
10 o'clock, and the trial was proceeded
with. The last Juror chosen was the sec
ond one presented, Henry A. Rose, both
sides having agreed to take him as they
had each about exhausted their limit of
strikes.
The testimony for the state was conclud
ed about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, and
several of the witnesses for the defense
were put on the stand. Their testimony
was heard, and at 7 o'clock ad
journed until this morning.
The state attempted to prove that
Brooks was shot in cold blood by Sulli
van, to whom O’Neill had given his pis
tol, and introduced testimony to show
that O'Neill had had two or three difficul
ties with the deceased before the kil.lng,
and on the same night. Solicitor General
Osborne also endeavored to prove that
when the deceased returned from the
barracks where he had gone to make com
plaint against O'Neill, the defendants
met him and others at South Broad and
East Broad streets, and at once began tne
shooting which ended in the homicide.
The defense is endeavoring to prove by
its witnesses that Sullivan and O'Neill,
after the difficulties with the negroes,
went away from them, and in order to
avoid them took a circuitous route in go
ing to their homes; that the negroes on
their return from the barracks came upon
them at South Broad and East Broad
streets, and with an oath Brooks started
to attack O'Neill with a heavy stick; that
as he raised his stick to strike either
O’Neill or Sullivan, and the other negroes
coming up with sticks at the same time
the shooting was done. The defense will
endeavor to put up a case of self-defense
all the way througn.
When court convnenes this morning the
testimony for the defendant will be con
tinued, and at its conclusion the attor
neys will proceed at once with the argu
ments. The case will no doubt be given
to the Jury this afternoon.

FILIBUSTERED ON THE DAUNTLESS.
\ Voting German’* story of Caban
Experiences.
H. C. Ahrens, who claims to have been
a member of the filibustering crew of the
tug Dauntless, was in the city yesterday.
He has undoubtedly been on some of tho
filibustering expeditions. He had settled
himself down to tell a good story, when
he was choked off by a friend who accom
panied him and who appeared to be a
red-hot Cuban sympathizer.
Ahrens told a good deal, however. He
said that he made one trip In the Laurada
and two with the Dauntless, one on Sept.
13 nnd tho other on Oct. 6. He was a lit
tle off in his dates and it Is likely that
these are not 4he correct dates of the sail
ing of the. tug. Both trips of the Daunt
less, he said, were made from the Satilla
river bridge near Brunswick.
Ahrens at first said that the Dauntless
only carried "provisions," but later he
admitted that on the first trip the Daunt
less landed 80 men, six Hotchkiss guns and
a lot of material for the insurgents. This
trif, ho said, was made to Pinur del Rio,
the boat going up a river or hay to the
camp of Gen. Gomez. The latter had then
about 3,500 men. Ahrens said. Maeeo was
also encamped near by with another force.
Tho second trip, Ahrens said, was made
to the province of Matanzas. This tima
the Dauntless landed 180 men beside ‘‘pro
visions." This Is the time the vessel was
chased by a Spanish cruiser, which she
escaped by running Into shallow water.
The landing was made from lifeboats and
the Dauntless was chased off by a Span
ish gunboat before she finished unloading.
Fart of her remaining cargo was trans
ferred to a British ship, Ahrens said,
which carried It to Nassau from whence
it waa shipped to Cuba. The remainder
was put ashore at No Man's Key.
Ahrens does not believe that Maeeo Is
dead. He claimed to have received a tele
gram yesterday from Gen. Nunez, chair
man of the Cuban Junta at Jacksonville,
which said; "Maeeo still alive, but severe
ly wounded."
Ahrens claims to have gotten well ac
quainted with Maeeo on his first trip to
Plnar del Rio. He had known him already,
he said, when Maeeo was a Spanish cus
toms official at Pinal del Rio. Maeeo. he
said, was a bright, handsome and dash
ing fellow, Just the Ideal for a cavalry
general.
Ahrens said he was not afraid of being
• 'ailed as a witness in the libel case against
the Dauntless, which was begun In the
United States court yesterday, as he in
tended to he out of the city by the time
his story appeared In print. According
to his story, he has been an adventurer
all his life, having gone to sea at 14 and
having served in the German, French and
American navies. He also, he says, took
part in expeditions to Guatemala in 1878
and 1882 In support of President Barrios.
Ahrens’ story may be a fairy tale, but at
the same time he has evidently had some
thing to do with the filibustering expedi
tions to Cuba.
