WASHINHTON , March 18. The United
States supreme court has rendered a de
cision in the case of the Burrow-Giles
Lithographic company , plaintiU' in error ,
against Napoleon Sarony in error , from
the circuit court of the southern district
of Now York. The suit was brought by
Sarony against thu Lithographic com-
puny under a provision of the revised
statutes for alleged infringement of copyright -
right upon a photograph of Oscar \Vildo.
The only important question raised by
the case is whether congress had ami
has a constitutional right to pro
tect photographs and negatives
thereof by copyright. The courl
holds that the constitution is bioucl
enough to cover thu act authorizing copy ,
right of photographs , and finds that the
photograph sued on in this case win an
original work of tirt , which was the prod
uct of thu plninU'd | ! intellectual inven
tion , and which plaintiU' wan the author ,
thiit it belonged to a class of inventions ,
for which the constitution provided , ant

elusive right to use , publinh , and Bollna

j Decision was also rendered iu thu case
of Ilollistcr , collector ofinternal revenue ,
against Xion's co-oporativo mercantile in
stitution in error from the supreme court
of Utah. The question raised in the case
was whether certain duo bills or orders
for merchandise issued on an extensive
scale by Xion's co-operative institution ,
are notes , "Within the meaning of the
the act f f February 8th , 1875 , which pro
vides that all persons other than national
banks , shall pay a tax of ton
per cent. " on all notes used for
speculation and paid _ out by
This court holds the obligations heroin
mentioned are not notes within the mean
ing of the law , and are not taxable , 1 ho
same question which was raised in tlio
above case is presented by the case of
Jonathan 0. Willis , collector , ngainst the
Belleville Nail Co. , in error from the cir-
: uitcourt _ of the southern district of Il

Trucks loaded with well-dressed men
rolled up Woat street at intervals yester
day morning and disappeared on the cov
ered pier of the Cunard Steamship com
pany at thu foot of Olnrkson street. Be
sides the men the trucks carried small
kegs and iron bound _ boxcs , which were
unloaded on the pier alongside of the
steamship Servia , which sailed in the aft
ernoon , The men carefully carried the
kegs and boxes to the after part of the
vessel , whore they were locked in an iron
chamber. The kegs and boxes hold $2-
150,000 worth of gold , which was going
to Europe. On the steamship Baltic
$2,350,000 in gold was shipped.
The gold was in the form of bars and
double eagles , and was the largest amount
shipped on a singlu day for several years.
The gold bars were obtained in exchange
for gold certificate1 ! at the assay ollici1 ,
and the double eagles came from the
vaults of the subtrcasury , whorogold cer
tificates wcro deposited in their stead.
The double eagles were delivered in
canvas bags , each holding $5,000. The
bars , which are worth anywhere between
$1,000 and § 5,000 each , wcro packed in
saw-duat in wooden boxes. They were
carried on trucks to the ollices of the
firms that had bought thorn , and were
then boxed and barrelled nnd carted

"What precautions are taken against

"In the first place , the treasure room
ip of iron and is as strong as any bank

no cracksmen , 110 matter how clover
they were could get into it inside of a

"Is it especially guarded during the

"Yes , it is thoroughly looked after.
The purser and officers thoroughly in
spect it three times a. day and three times
at night. "
"Was the Sorvia'a treasure chamber
ever broken into1 ?
"Never , and no one over tried to break
into it. Anyway , if thieves did got in ,
they could not very well carry away the
gold , for it is too heavy. The gold in
these forty kegs nnd boxes weighs close
to 25,000 pounds. "

The superintendent of an importing
house which is constantly sending out
largo amounts of gold said yesterday that
the house insures it. The iirnx got the
money from the sub-treasury or assay
ollico , prepare it for shipping and then
lodge it in the vessel. Them their trouble
ends.
"Do you send any ono along to watch it
on the way ? "
"No ; it would do no good. The money
is perfectly safe in the vessel and in the
extremely improbable orout of a pira
tical attack cur man might get killed. "
"Why do you send out gold ? "
"Because it is to
impossible buy com
mercial bills. There are not any in the
market. "

"Talking about Hoods , " said a traveler
from Colorado , "if you want to see a Hood
sometime that is ono , go out to Western
Nebraska and gaze on the Platte when
she's riled. Toke her in a dry spell and
there ain't a tamer stream on earth. Ono
day , before there was any bridges built
west rl Grand Island , a party of uswore
goinii to Julosburg that was years ago ,
when thcro was a Julesburg. In an aft
ernoon wo como to a low , sandy place ,
where there were some puddles of water
standing around hero and there. Afto-
wo'd picUml our way across the sand with
out wetting our feet , I says to an old
stager , 'Wo can't bo far troiu the Platte
now. ' 'The Plutto ! ' ho says ; 'why , you
tondorfcot , wo have just crossed it. "
Well , there wasn't hardly water enough
thcro to lloat a shingle , nothing but sand
and old snags of trees. But thu next day
wo camu to what 1 thought was an inland
ocean. 'What lake is that ? ' I inquired
of the old stager , 'Lake ! ' ho says ; 'lake !
that ain't no lake. That's the , Platte ! '
You may put a cow brand on my loft
haunch if it waui't u inilo wide and run

And it hadn't rained a drop where wo
were , but there must have boon some
lively waterspouts and snow molting up
in the mountains. "
