WASHINGTON NOTES.
Interesting Items Picked Oat from
the
Dally Dispatches.
Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle
made a speech at Covington, Ky., on
the financial questions of the day in
which he denounced the free coinage of
silver. The secretary blamed the Re
publican party for the crisis brought
upon the country and said that too
much silver had already been coined.
A Madrid dispatch says that the gov
ernment of Spain has completed its
final answer to the United States in re
gar to the firing upon the American
steamer Allianca by the Spanish war
ship Conde de Venadito off Cape JIaj-sL
The reply is couched in cordial and
friendly terms and will be entirely
agreeable to tho requests made npon
Spain by Secretary of State Gresham
for a full and satisfactory answer. In
the answer the evidence received by
Spain is repeated, and it is understood
that Spain disavows the action of the
officer of the warship in firing upon the
American merchantman. It is also un
derstood that Spain admits she has no
rights over foreign vessels where the
firing took place.
The United States supreme court by
a vote of 5 to 4 has declared the income
tax law, passed by the last congress,
unconstitutional Chief Justice Fuller
read the majority opinion. Justices
liar lan and White read vigorous dis
senting opinions. Their opinions inti
mated that the majority decision was
revolutionary and suggested the neces
sity of a constitutional amendment.
The features which invalidate the act
are the taxes imposed on land, land
rents, personal property and incomes
from personal property. These are de
clared direct taxes and therefore they
are unconstitutional. Justice Shiras
changed hi opinion since the first hear
ing. Then he favored the law and the
court stood 4 to 4, Justice Jackson be
ing absent The latter favored the law.

The Neathammer Robbery Case.
Wm. liateman, Wm. Ennls, and Mrs. Xeat
bammcr, of Medford, were arrested last San
day by Deputy U. S. Marshal Wm. Webb and
Constable Whipple, of Woodville, charged with
having broke into the granery of Jacob Neat
hammer near Kock Point, on the night of April .
18th, W9S, and taking therefrom a sack contain
ing In the neighborhood of tseoo. They were
taken to Woodville Sunday evening, and after
a preliminary examination lasting three days,
they were bound over to appear before the
grand jury by Justice Slmpkins, before whom
the trial took place. The warrants were sworn
out by Root. Baben, a local detective who has
been at work on the case for some time past.
The ball of each was as follows: Wm. Bate
man, FaOO; Wm. Ennls. (1300; Mrs. Neatham
mer, 1750. Owing to the fact that Tub Mail
bad no representative at Woodville to attend
the examination we are unable to give the sub
stance of the testimony, but we can say that the
case is a decidedly mixed up adalr. and to
print the story of both sides would take about
seven and thr. e quarter columns of type, and
lack of space prevents. Friends of the prose
cution have one story to tell and those for the
defense a different one. Which is correct is not
tho province of this paper to state, and we
couldn't tell if we did feel that way. We only
hope that, if the guilty ones are those appre
hended, they will be dealt with in accord with
the law, but if innocent they ought not to be
persecuted.
As we go to press defendants are in Jackson
