AC1AINST TIIK DISPENSARY LAW. Judge Khnontori Releases a Prisoner Who Was on a Seized Vessel. Chav.lestox-, S. C, April 1. Judge Simonton of the United States Circuit Court filed an important decision on the State Dispensary law. The case was one of habeas corpus 011 lehalf of William T. Elfe, who was arrested by the State conetabnlary on the sloop Our Fritz several days ago. The ves sel sailed from Savannah under a coast wise license and there took on board e-ixteeu half barrels of whiskey and fif Icca casks of export beer. The goods w ere marked to persons in Wilmington, N. C, and the bills of lading were made out for Wilmington, N. C. Elfe was supercargo of the vessel. The weather became threatening and the master determined not to risk ocean navigation but went by the inside route. Iu carrying out this, purpose the master entered Fort Royal harbor and went to the mouth of Beaufort River. The tide being ebb and the wind ahead, he ca.st anchor four miles below Beaufort, awaiting flood tinife to go on Lis voyage. While at anchor in the daytime the sloop was boarded by a State constable and his posse, the pe titioner was arrested and the vessel nnd cargo confiscated. Judge Simon ton ordered the release of the priso ner. The Court says in the decree: "The voyage was not complete I. Elfe was on his way in a public navi gable highway. He had come from a port in Georgia and was actually en gaged in inter-State commerce. If h were ou his way to Wilmington, N. C, he does not come within any of the prohibitions of the Dispensary law. If he were not, but had not yet com pleted his voyage, the action of tho State constables was interference with inter-State commerce. So it is in conflict with the Constitution of the United States, and to this extent is null and void." In the District Court Judge Braw ley has issued nn order for the release of the vessel. The State, however, Las possession of the liquor. ON TO PEKIN. Japanese Will Not Quit Fighting Until They Take the Chinese Capital. It is now a settled fact, says the At lanta Constitution, that the Japanese army will not stop until it enters the Chinese capital. The onward march to Pekin began iu good earnest about ten days ago, the Japanese imperial guard leading the van. The distance to be traversed was at that time about 150 miles, but the invaders are moving slowly in or der to give their comrades in Man churia a chance to join them. It is es timated that the Chinese who will make a final stand iu defense of Pekin will not number more than 100,000, and the Japanese will doubtless be strong enough to overcome them without much difficulty. Whatever the result of the pending peace negotiations may be, it is not at all likely that it will lead to an armis tice before the capture of the city. The soldiers in the Japanese army would not be satisfied with anything less than their triumphal inarch through the streets of Pekin, and it would not bo wise to disappoint them. There is no danger of any wholesale destruc tion of life and property when the city is captured. The victors will be 60 elated with their achievement that they will be in a good humor, and they will behave as well as the troops of any other nation would under the same conditions. After the fall of this last stronghold the terms of peace will be speedily agreed upon, and the invading army will then retire. In the course of the next few we ks this memorable cam paign will bo ended, and China will proceed to reconstruct what remains of the wreck of a great empire, while Japan will take 6ueh steps as may be necessary to maintain the. supremacy which she has so deservedly won. DOCTOR IN C; PAPER MONEY. Counterfeiters are Ingeniously Rais ing One Dollar Rills to $10. Omaha, Neb., April 1., Counter feit bills have appeared in Omaha showing tliit slnrpers know some chemioiil that removes the ink from the paper from which greenback are manufactured without injuring the paper. Tlmi the crooks put in other figures, raising the amount tenfold. The first National bank received on Saturday one of the bills, and another was exhibited to the Merchants' Na tionnl bank teller. Both had come from retailers. The bill at the First National i a ?1 treasury note, paya ble in coin, of the series of 18t, and with th likeness of Stanton on one side. The other is a silver certificate of the ISO series, on whieh appears the face of Martha Washington. With out the use of a glass to follow the ink stains in the fiber of the paper the oiily manner in which the spniions bills can be detected is by the vignettes on either side. This bttrayaits spu rious origiu, but afford- no protection evcej t to experts, who are aware that these likenesses do not appear on any t ills of the denomination of $10. A secret service ageut yesterday said an alarming feature of the case is that chemicals are beinjr used by this gang to remove the figures in the original. The fiber of the paper in use is sup rofed to be proof against this sort of manipulation. Probably two dozen figures must be removed in each bill handL d and others substituted.

They Visit the Schoolmaster' House and Shoot and Stab II lm A special from Fioyd Court House. Virginia, gives an account of an attack upon Mr. Joseph Sheeler by thre-Sul-phiu boys who shot and stabbed the former. It seems that the Stilphins were once pupils of Sheeler, who ou one occasion punished oue of thern for some wrong doing. The young men, who are regarded as pretty desperate, went to Sheeler's house and attacked him with pistol and knife, inflicting several painful wounds. The schoolmaster managed to get a note to the sheriff informing him of his condition, and begging that a posse be sent to his relief. When the on cers reached Sheeler's school boute, which is in the mountains of Floyd, they discovered that the three Sul phins had escaped. They did not get away, however, be fore a desperate fight took place. Some of the schoolmaster's neighbors had surrounded the house and impris oned the young men. After a sharp fight two of the gang got off, leaving the other on the field, who was taken in charge by the deputy sheriff. THE TENNESSEE FIGHT.
