There 19. -the (best authority for the statement-that today having passed without a, "report f ran Admiral Sampson', the navy" de partment does not expect to hear frm fhim wltfe'y several days. The author ity for this statement is, fully acquaint ed'with Admiral Sampson's plans, and the remark, would seem to indicate that the admiral, having failed to 4ind the enemy at the place expected, had turned his attention to the alternative project. What this is cannot be "ascer tained. It is evident; however, that the department is under no apprehension pion as to the safety of the 'American Jleet nor, of any vessel of the fleet.) . The war department saw fit today to gratify the. universal desire and Inform the country through the press Just where the various state, volunteer or ganizations are to be concentrated. It Is the first . time that any official state ment, has been made as to the -point 'of concentration of, troops. The order as published "by the department is thought In some, quarters to warrant 4'he assumption that it' contemplated a upeedV .movement 'of' the United Stales military forces upon ibu'ba and in muCh greater force than, was originally plan ned.' ;The war department officials re fuse to say anything on this point but there; is every evidence that they expect a, short,, sharp, conclusive and immed 5ate campaign, such as could " not .'be iwaged "by five or ten thousand soldiers. It is also to be noted that preparations 3y the quartermaster's department ajid tthe commissary department, so far las (s'disclosed by actual orders, indicates that -provision is being made 'for mob ilization, and feeding -many, thousands of men outside of the United States. With a view to systematizing the great .work of .putting . the forces and .'Prit tting them in service, thewar depart ment has planned a scheme which, it Ks believed, will Very much hasten -.the work, of 'mobilizing the (forces and put equipping them, while1 avoiding any, congestion of the railroad traffic, sucb aa is. always ."to be apprehended in"' cases of war. Instead 1 of allowing-! all fthe troops called for from ia particular state to be assembled and broken in at the "rendezvous, the department Is in structing its mustering officers to com, plete' the organization of regiments as rapidly as possible, and as soon as ime is- organized to report the fact to the department when the regiment will jbe ordered tc the point selected for con centration.

J . The governor of a- state will hive mo' hand in the designation of the regi mients to go to particular coneenfra ition camps', the destination will ;de tpend "upon the promptness with which tlhe volunteers are organized and are readv . for transportation. : Probably about one-third of the entire levy, call ed for by the "president, or about 40,000 itroops. will constitute the force tobe eerit south to take part in the ifirst Cu ban 1 service, following tne regular army forces. These troops will beithe first to receive their equipnvmt. When they are organized, equipped and con centrated the government -will be ready to equip the second contingent; name fly the forces, about equal to another fthird of the total call, which will he Assigned to the defences of the coast an J ;harbors, replacing the regular ITnitd, States troops withdrawn irom those posts. . . jj. When tiiiese. are .equipped, the goy crnment'will turn its attention to the Ithird class, comprising the 1 last third of the 125,000 -volunteers called for4 it Ss thte sincere, hope of the war depart ment that it will not toe called fuponHo fully equip these troops 'before trie hos tilities are at an end, but tie wi?f preparation is- proceeding on the cbn uixr a00,,rvtion.

Executive Mansion, May 9,- 1898. ; The New Sontli Carolina Liquor Law . , junconstlintlo'nal. - Washington, May 9. in the United States supijeme coijrt today the South Carolina liquor law was again made the subjectj of a decision which was handed down byt Justice White. The state dispensary law having been amended sijice the recent decision hold ing it Invalid,'; today's decision deals with the new law. This law attempted to eliminat the feature of the old law," discriminat ng against other states in the shipment of liquorjto individuals for their vese in 'South Carolina, but while this Inhibition was eliminated and the privileges restored in the new law, it was coupled with conditions of inspection, which, it was claimed, still amounted tp discrimination. The court in today's decision -accepted this view of the case, l holding that the inspection provision ofj the daw is tantamount to a denial of the right of interstate com merce and therefore antagonistic ; to the constitution of. the United" States. The-court held, howeverthat the. por tion" of the! law regulating the sale -of the original package's within the state was valid. The decision was rendered in the case of Vance and Scott. vs. Van dercrook &jCo., of California. . r The decision of the United States cir cuit court JCbr South Carolina was in favor of the California Company. The opinion rendered .today had the effect of affirming this, opinion , in part and reversiftg 'if in part and the case was remanded with instructions to proceed accordtinglyf - -, ' dhief Justices . Fuller and Justices Shiras andi McKenna dissented as . to the portiori of . the opinion reversing any part of the decision of the court below.! They took the position that the law fri its entirety is in violation of the constitution and 1 that the opinion an tagonistic b it, . should be sustained. The seourt reversed the opinion of the ciitcuit pourt for South Carolina in the "case dealing with the seizure of liquors shipped into South Carolina by Varidercrook & Co.: on' the ground that the court had no jurisdiction. Senator Tillman, the author of the dispensary law, says thafthe part that is rejected !by the supreme court will not affect the workings of the law and that the point sustained is' sufficient. He had already secured the passage of a bill in the senate to meet the objec tions whi$h the former decision ren dered invalid, but says that it will not be necessary under the decision today to have theQaill pass the house.
