M DISPENSARY rolina Institution Will lot Be Exempt 1. . :ME COURT'S OPINION he .Institution is Con- ranch c,t the Police State is But Thinly ys the Court iif Affirm on of the Court, of etition f or Recovery of aid Since 1893. Washington, ' Special. The SuJ pretne Court of the United States de cided that the national 'government may properly tax the State liquor dis pensaries of South Carolina. The op inion was delivered by Justice Brewer iu the case of the State of South Jarolina vs. the United States. This action was instituted by- the State of South Carolina to recover $20,000 "pid to the revenue officers of the national government on account of the sale of liquors by the State and coiiuty dispensaries under the dispen sary law. The 'State took the posi tion that as the dispensaries sold liquors without profit they should not be taxed by the government, but the tax has been collected since 1893. This is said to have been the first cae in which the State unites in one undertaking the exercise of its police power together with th prosecution f a commercial business. The Court of Claims dismissed the petition on the mound that the exercise of police power was but thinly disguised, hold ing that the real purpose was money making and this decision was affirmed." COUNTING VOTES AS CAST. Upon Argument by Alton B. Parker Justice Amend Rules That He is Estopped From Questionening Va- . lidity of Any Ballots Counted by Election Inspectors, and Recount Begins. New York, Special. The recount of ' ballots in five ballot boxes used in New York's mayoralty election con test was ordered to be begun Friday by Justice Amend in the Supreme Court. The original order to open these five boxes was granted a few days ago. Jutsice Amend, inorderinsr the recount to begin, modified his original order so as to limit the. canvassing to the ' candidates for mayor, comptroller and president of the board of alder men, and also to eliminate from the recount the void and protested ballots. Counsel' for W. K. Hearst,. Mavor McClellan and Assistante Corporation Counsel Bntts engaged in ,a- heated ar gument before the boxes were opened. Alton Parker, for Mayor McClel lan. and Mr. Butts contended that the .. court had no right to make a re-canvass of the votes or to reconsider the result, but could compel tlie election inspectors correctly to state the result they reached on election night. 4iYou mean, then," said Austin G. Fox. for Mr. Hearst "that you do not -want the true vote ascertained, and that if a vote for Hearst lias been -counted for McClellan vou don't want, j it known?" , .'! "1 mean," retorted ' Mr. Butts, ."that I want the true vote ascertain ed according to law. ' ' "And how may that be done? "-inquired Mr. Fox. "By quo warranto proceedings, " was the replyj "And such proceedings can only be nndertaken after January," comment ed Mr. Fox. "I see." Mr. Parker disclosed that the court had no right to throw out any ballot which had been counted by the elec tion inspectors. Justice Amend ruled . that he is estopped from questioning the validity of the ballots and they must be counted as cast. The first ballot box, was then open ed by inspectors in the court room and the recount was begun, witji the rep resentatives of the newspapers occu pying the seata- intended for jury men. - . The openeing of four ballot boxes and the recounting of the ballots was finished Saturday night before Judge Amend. The net results was a gain of seventeen votes in the four dis , tricts for Hearst, and,, of these being gained in three- districts. Henry M. Younge, of counsel for Mr. Hearst, said : " ' "The results thus far have shown that the inspectors- miscounted the split ballots, to the gain of McClel lan and the loss of Mr. Hearst. If it turns out in other districts as it has in those examined Mr. Hirt is elected on the recount." Mexico's Vice President. Mexico City. Speeial.

St. Petersburg, By Cable Sebasto- pol was the scene of a desperate bat-. tie between the mutinous sailors and the troops in the forts on shore. During the battle the town and the forts were bombarded by the guns of the cruiser Otchakoff, which now lies a burning wreck off Admiralty Point its hull riddled with shells and its flaunting red ensign of revolution hauled down. Many of the crew of the Otchakoff were killed or wounded. According to one report the barracks of the mu tineers was carried by storm after the mutinous fleet, which is said to have" numbered tea vessels, had sur rendered', and the -whole position is now in the hands of th troops under the command of General Neplueff. unable to guarantee the correctness of this report. The commander of the Otchakoff, Lieutenant Selimid, immediately ac cepted the challenge, replying with both batteries, one trained on the town and the othf:r on the Fort Alex ander batteries, on the north shore. CaDtain Zilotti, aide de came to Admiral Wirenius, chief of the naval general staff, informed the Associated Press that the latest dispatches re ceived from Sebastopol showed that the Otchakoff was on fire and badly riddled, with its revolutionary (colors hauled down, but he was unable to givo more definite information. According to a more detailed report from another source and purporting to come irom the Admiralty, tne Dat- tie began at 3 o'clock, when Lieut enant Schmid, not receiving a reply to the demands of the mutineers, op ened fire from a fleet of ten ships, to which the northern batteries al Fort Alexander, artillerv posted on the shore and several vessels which remained lotal replied. Durins the naval battle the sailors on the shore, entrenched in the bar racks, defended their position with machine guns and rifles against" the aaeking infantry. After an engage ment lasting two and a halt hours with the Otchakoff riddled and on fire and the cruiser Dniper and an other vessel sunk. Lieutenant Schmid who had been badly wounded, surren dered the entire squadron. The .mu tinous sailors on shore surrendered to the Brest and Bielistok Regi ments. According to this report, the Pan- teleimon, formerlv the Kniaz Potem kine, was injured below the Avater line and a torpedo boat is ashore on the rocks. No details of the casualties or o the damage suffered by the town are obtainable by the Admirality, but owing to the confined space in which the action was fought it is improba ble that the town escaped withou heavy damage. i The demands of the mutineers jare said to have included, besides thej 15 1 1 1- !! proposals aeaiing avuh service eonai tions,' the convocation of a consttu ent Assembly and the complete reali zation of the liberties promised by the imeprial manifesto.

The short, jaunty Eton is a pronounced favorite of the autumn and is especiafly well liked with the corselet or princesse skirt or with the skirt that is worn with a deep girdle. Here is one of the smart est yet eaown matt gives a Avaistcoat effect and which is adapted to all sea sonable materials. The lines are ex ceptionally good ones and the tucks from the shoulders give a distinctive touch. In .this case one of the new double voiles is trimmed with collar and cuffs of A-elvet and made with a waistcoat of broadcloth, but the pos sibilities are many. The suitings of TUCKED SHIRT AYA1ST, the season are exceptionally beautiful and broadcloth and velvet both are shown in light or "chiffon" av eights and will be greatly worn, while there also are chiffon velveteen and all the many novelties too numerous to men tion. 9 Velvet as trimming on cloth is exceedingly fashionable,' but here again there is opportunity for individual preference, silk can be used or plain cloth on mixtures as may be liked. The - wajstcoat, too, can be made of cloth, as in this instance, of brocade or of any contrasting material that may be preferred. The Eton is made with fronts that consist of plain portions that are ex tended to-fioi'm the band and tucked portions that are joined thereto and the back. The narrow collar finishes the neck and beneath it the waistcoat is attached. There is choice allowed of elbow or full length slevees, both being equally correct. The quantity of material required for the medium size is two and one-half yards twenty-one, one and three-fourth yards forty-four or one and five-eighth yards fifty-two inches wide, Avith one half yard of velvet for collar and five eighth yards of any width for vest. Golden Hearts. A charming evening dress of deli cately blue chiffon is a mass of tucks A, Golden Brim. , A gem of an evening hat is a broad affair with a soft and rather flat crown of richest sable fur. The. brim starts out to be of . cream lace (Renaissance applique), but ends by being bound to a depth of nearly two inches with cloth of gold. This is not the intensely yel low shade, but is somewhat silvery in comparison. It is all exquisite and rich, the golden cloth, the fine lace and thesuperb funeach serving to make the other more beautiful. Under the and shirrings. Upon the blouse bodice and the voluminous skirt there are rose appliques of heaA-y Chautilly lace in the same shade. These roses are ot gigantic size and the heart of each has been cut away to show a piece of the cloth of gold Avhich is deftly intro duced from beneath. This may sound patchy, but the effect is exquisite. MUsV KIoum Waist. Jso waist suits the young girl so well as the blouse and none is so fashion able Illustrated is an exceedingly at tractive yet absolutely simple - model which provides for many occasions and which can !.e varied in a number of ways. As shown it is made of cash mere with bands of taffeta pffced with A'elvet, and is worn over a chemisette of aM-over lace, but the chemisette can be omitted and the neck left slightly open, or the waist can be made high Avith long sleeves, as shown in the back vieAV. In any case it is stylish and sat isfactory and adapted to almost all waistings and the softer dress? mater ials. In this instance it matches the skirt, but the model Avill be found a de sirable one for the separate blouse, which fills so many ueeds, .and which this year is so fashionable in white silk or embroidered net, for both of which materials the model is a most satisfactory one. The waist is made with a fitted foun dation, which can be used or omitted as may be liked, and itself consists of the front and the backs. These Iast are laid in narrow tucks that extend to yoke depth and when a chemisette is Hed are cut out on indicated lines.
