SHIRA3 CHANGES HIS VOTE. rhe Tote Stood Fire to Four—Chief Justice Fuller and Justice* Field, Cray, Brewer ami Shiras Agatnst, Justices Harlan, White, Jackson and Brown For—The Court's Conclusions. The inoome tax law was declared unconrtituional In toto by the United State Supreme Court at Washington. The vote of the Court resulted Ave against the constitutionality of the law to four for the law. Those against the law were Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Field, Gray, Brewer and Shiras. For the law Justices Harlan, White, Erown and Jackson. * Chief Justice Fuller read the decision for the Court. Justices Harlan, Jackson and Brown read dissenting opinions. The conclusions of the Court were as follows: "(1.) We adhere to the opinion, already announced, that taxes on real estate being undlsputnbly direct taxes, taxes on the rents or income of real estate are equally direct taxes. "(2.) We are of the opinion that taxes on personal property or on the income of personal property are likewise direct taxes. "(3.) The tax imposed by sections 27 to 37. Inclusive, of the act of 1894, so far as it falls on the income of real estate and on personal property, being a direct tax within the meaning of the constitution, and therefore unconstitutional and void, because not apportioned according eo representation, all those sections, constituting one entire scheme of taxation, are necessarily invalid. '"The decrees, hereinbefore entered in this Court will be vacated. The decrees below will be reversed and the cases remanded, with instructions to grant the relief prayed.'1 Baatitel* 87 to 8T of the tariff act of 1894, referred toin tte donclusions of the Court in the opinions, are all that section of the act "relating to the income tax, so that the «ntlre tax law Is declared void specifically. The chamber of the Court was crowded for quite a time before the Court convened at noon. Those present Included many attorneys and several members of Congress. The general Impression nmoftff them was that the decision would be adverse to the law as an entirety, and this was increased by a rumor whloh was current after the Court convened to the effect that at the conference which occurred at ten o'clookinthe morning a definite conclusion had been reached and that Justice Shiras, concerning whose attitude there had been some doubt, had cast his vote against the constitutionality of the law on all points. The consultation continued until a few minutes before twelve, nil the members of the Court being present, including Justice Jackson. The fact that Justice Jackson was in the city and that he had participated In the consultation did not become generally known until a lew minutes before the Court came in. He occupied his seat with the other members of the Court, making a full bench present at the delivery of the opinion, as there was at the hearing. Chief Justice Fuller delivered the main opinion of the Court, which consisted of about 7000 words. Mossy Paid to Be Refunded. Internal F.evenue Con: mlssloner Miller says that under Section 8220 of the Revised Statutes ail the money paid in on account of the Income tax will be refunded to the payees by the Treasury Department without delay. Acting under this section internal revenue taxes wrongfully collected nre dally refunded by his office, and the sane section will be taken as to repaying the income tax collected. It amounts to only $7^ooo. MFADE REPRIMANDED. The Hear Admiral Retire! From the Service by the Prerfdent.

DEATH IN THE EXPLOSION White Men and Chinese Blown to Atoms by flitro-Glycerine. FOURTEEN INSTANTLY KILLED. Tank* Weighing a Ton Scurry Throngh the Air, and Bis Trees Are Blown a Half Mile Away—l'lcklni; Vp the Fragments of the Bodies Far and Near —A Tragedy at Pinole, Cal. The nitro-glycarine house of the California Powder Works, at Pinole, CaL, Mew up, killing Ave white men and Wounding two other?. Nine Chinese were killed and three others injured. Where the glycerine house stood is now a heap of rubbish surrounding a great hole blown into the ground by the force of the explosion. All buildings surrounding the one where the explosion occurred and distant from It from 100 to 200 yards are more or les3 damaged. Every person about the mills was thrown down by the force of the explosion, and many more injuries are reported. How the explosion occurred is a mystery. Three years ago there was a similar explosion, but It was not attended by such loss of life. Seventy-five Chinese and one hundred white men were employed at the works. The loss is estimated at $250,000. It is believed that a Chinese dropped a can of nitro-glycerlne and that the concussion from this explosion caused the general blowup. The force of theexplosion was tremendous. Huge trees were thrown half ft mile into the bay. Nitro-glycerine tanks weighing a ton each are five hundred yards distant from the scene. Toes, hands and other partß of bodies were picked up a mile away. The first explosion was followed by the general one with not a second's Interval. The nitro-glyoerine house first went up, then tho mixing house and storehouse and gun-ootton departments. The nitro-glycerlne house, of which not a vestige remains was a three-story structure, 200 by fifty feet. It contained 8000 pounds of nitro-glycerlne and 2000 pounds of Hercules powder. The names of tho white employes killed are: O. C. Jones. Pinole, married; Harry Mlnugh, married, with family at Oakland; David Dean, Jr.. Pinole; Charles Venages, Martinez; Walter Taylor, Pinole. Mr. Tavlor was foreman of the mixing house. The bodies of Jones and Harry Mlnugh are - recognizable, although lh a mutilated condition. Their faces and the upper parts of their bodies only are intact. Their legs and arms are either gone or crushed into a shapeless mass. The other white men were blown into bits, as were ulso the Chinese. Bits of flesh were gathered into gunny sacks and taken to the boarding house, where the few remains that could be found were saved for burial. FRANCE YIELDS. She Has Transferred En-Consul Waller's Case to Civil Jurisdiction* The French Government, according to the demand of the United States, has transferred the case of ex-Consul John L. Waller to ordinary or oivil jurisdiction. This action apparently nullifies the sentence of twenty years' confinement which was imposed on Waller by a French military court in Madagascar, and indicates either his trial by the civli judiciary or 1 his ultimate release from prison. The matter has reached a stage where the United States Government has ample evidence on which to base a claim against the Government of France, possibly involving the payment of indemnity for the treatment accorded to Waller and for the abrogation of his concession of valuable rubber forests In Madagascar. Waller was incarcerated in a military prison in Marseilles. Paul Bray, Waller's stej>son, who recently arrived in New York from Madagascar, passed nearly the whole day at the State Department reading the papers concerning the case. Late in the afternoon he had an interview with Acting Secretary Uhl. He declined to discuss Waller's case, holding that he might say something to prejudice it, but he expressed himself as highly pleased with the steps the State Department was talcing in the matter.
