Goings and Comings of Prominent People — Personal Notes. The statement recently made that Mrs. Leland Stanford was about to sell her marvelous collection of jewels has revived interest in these famous gems. Mrs. Stan- ford on several occasions during her resi- dence here, either at White House recep- ticrs or at dinners, wore such elegant jewels that it was generally supposed Washington had seen the best of them, but the reverse is the truth, After the death of her son Mrs. Stanford never again cared to wear jewels, and when she did so it was because of her husband's desire, and she selected the simplest she owned. The others reposed in the darkness of her banker’s vaults, and were never brought to this city. There are few more choice and extensive collections of gems among the royal families of the old world than hers. Their valve +s variously estimated from one to two million dollars. Mr. Stan- ford bought four sets of diamonds for her when the valuables of Queen Isabella of Spain were sold in Paris, and paid upward of $40,000 for the four. One set is of the stones known as “blue diamonds,” as they emit violet rays by day; another has pink rays in its stones; the third set is of yel- low diamonés, as yellow as topaz, and the fourth is of flawless white stones. Each Sst hac a tiara or necklace, pendant, breoch, earrings, from four to six brace- jets, and some finger rings, all of the same style of make and of corresponding stones. In addition to these Mrs. Stanford has scme genuine black diamonds, cut pear- ped, and numerous other diamond orna- ents in a variety of styles. One necklace (not belonging to any of the sets above named) is valued at $19,000 and its pendants at $30,4%, ‘This was manufac- tured to order, and consists of large col- ored diamonds intermixed with small white diamonds, rubies, sapphires and em- eralds, all of the purest water. A band of large yellow diamon:ls encircles the throat, each set in smaller white ston elow this band is placed a fioriated sign in small white diam is and colored stones extending in deep points. Between each of these points is suspended an imme low diamond set in white di. attached to the upper part of the ne< by a ruby, emerald or sapphire. There are five of these pendants, the central one being the largest, and having once figured in the collection of the Duke of Bruns- wick. This magnificent ornament is « companied by a comb, a brooch and pair of earrings to match, and the necklace itself takes to pieces and can be converted into pins, hair ornaments, while the upper row of diamonds can be worn as a ckiace without the pendant and the ted floriated band. . Stanford has also over sixty diamond finger rings, which she keeps on a string of black tape, and many more dinmonds in monograms on books, purses and card cases, Only for the litigation by which the Stanford estate is now ted up $2.500,- 00) would have been available for im- mediate use in the Stanford University, and Mrs. Stanford will sell her jewels to meet this emergency. Mrs. McKee, daughter of ex-President Harrison, was the guest of honor at Sara- po toga yesterday of the Daughters of the Revolution. Mrs. Gihon, wife of Medical Director Gibon; Mrs. Boons, widew of the bishop of China, her son, Mr, Elliott Boone, and Miss Meta Melville, daughter of Com- modore Melville, will sail from New York July 13. Mrs. Gihon gees abroad to rejoin her sons, both artists, and who are sum- mering in Switzerland. Miss Melville, un- der the chaperonage of Mrs. Boone, will pass a year or ore in travel and study.

Widespread Errors About a Recent Mexican Law Corrected, Persons interested in silver mines in Mexico were much exercised several weeks ago by the announcement that the Mexican government had decided to place a tax of 5 per cent on silver ores produced in Mexico. The statement of the passage of the new law would not have been regarded in such an important manner had it not been for the assertion accom- panying it to the effect that its provisions would prove something like disastrous to Americans engaged in mining in Mex- ico, This, however, was denied by the Mex- ican minister. A further explanation has been received in this city, in the form of a letter written by Mr. Enrique C. Creel, president of the Miners’ Bank of Chihua- hua, - “I regret very much to notice,” says Mr. Creel, “that the new mining law of this country, imposing a tax of 5 per cent on the ores produced, has been misunderstood, and has done so much harm to this coun- try. “The new law does not mean a new tax on mining in Mexico; it is only a change of regulations as to the system of collecting the taxes which already exists in Mexico, and has existed for the last hundred years. -“We are now paying on all the silver and gold that is produced in this country and sent to the mints (either for coinage or for exportation purposes) 4.41 per cent to the mint; and besides this, we pay in stamps, as a federal contribution 6) cents for every-$100; so that, altogether, we are at present paying $5.01 on every $100 of silver or gold produced in this country. “According to the new law the taxes will be collected thus: Three per cent of the value of the silver and gold contained in the ores when they are extracted from the mines, and 2 per cent when the silver and gold are introduced to the mint, either for coinage or for export purposes. “You will see that, according to the new law,we will have to pay,after the Ist of July, 5 per cent; but, at present and for the last hundred years, we have paid 5.01 per cent, and sometimes a gcod deal more. “You will notice that the mining inter- ests of Mexico are not going to suffer on account of this new law,” continues Mr. Creel, “and that it has been a mistake made by the papers of the United States who have published that a new tax on min- ing has been ‘mposed in Mexico.” — To The Pioposed Loan Association. A meeting of the committee recently appointed to consider the advisability of organizing a loan association for the pur- pose of lending money to the poor at low rates of interest, will probably be held to- morrow. At this meeting it is thought that scme definite plan will be fixed upon and that incorporation will be arranged for. Mr. F. L. Siddons, one of the members of the committee, has been locking into the laws of the various states, and the prob- ability is that the papers will be taken out under the laws of West Virginia. POTOMAC FLATS CASE. There Will Be No Decision Until the Fall. It was stated today at the city hall that there would be no decision in the Potomac flats case until next fall. This the case in which the United States, by proceedings in equity, authorized by a special sct of Congress, seeks to quiet the alleged title of some forty-odd different claimants to land in the flats above the Long bridge, and to certain tracts of land along the river front from about Eashy's Point to the arsenal grounds. The <ase occupled the attention of the District Court in General Term (Chief Justice Bingham and Ju Hagner and McComas) for about six during last April and May. It was expected that a decision in the case would be rendered last week, hefcre the usual adjournment for the summer, and weeks tee Bingham and Judge Hagner would hold that the government is entitled to all the land and rights in controversy, while Judge McComas would dissent only as to the claims of the Chesapeake and Chio Canal Company, and, perh2} claims of certain alleged owner along the river front, between 1 and Easby’s Point. It is now said, ever, that the decision of the court wi be a unanimous one, and thai the title of the United States will be held to be geod in all cases, save, possibly, as to some of the lot owne Chief Justice Bingham, it is remored, will write the opinion of the court, although, it is explained, he will hay2 the assistance of the other members of the trial court, The delay in announcitig the cour cision is said to be due to the fact the court first d submit certain t evidence, it is explained, tained from an examination Maryland records <iled Counsel for e government, is ssid, were somewhat delayed in securing copies of the desired documents, and because of that delay and because cf the summer recess of the court, the court's decision will be, it is said, delayed until fall. ———.__ MANGLED ON THE TRACK. Rrakeman William Miller of the B. and 0. Meets a Horrible Death. William Miller, a railroad brakeman on the Baltimore and Ohio road, who lived at 649 2d street northeast, was killed and hor- ribly mangled on the road near Trinidad either late last night or early this morning. His body was found on the track about 2 o'clock. The scene was a horrible one. The dead man's right arm was revered from the body, his right leg was broken and the top of his skull was missing. Word was sent to the police, and the body was removd to the morgus. The de- ceased was working early in the night, end it is supposed that he fell trom the train and was Killed, although he was not miss- ed by the other n employed on the road until his body was foun Coroner Hammett viewed the body this morning and conelided thai two trains must have passed over it. An tion will be held at 5 o'clock thi fter- noon and, if any prouf can be obtained, an inquest will be f —_—__ THE C SUS WORK. Superintendent Wright Talks of Ita Completion as Not Far Off. - Discussing the prospect of concluding the work of the eleventh census, Superin- tendent Wright today said that there still remained only one table to complete, with the deductions to be drawn therefrom, and that when this is finished the work of the census bureau on the last census would be finished. Mr. Wright also steted that the printing of the report was well under way and that the public printer had as- sured him that it would be completed by the close of the present year. “If,” con- tinued the superintendent, “this promise made good, the complete report of the eleventh census will be in the hands of the public two years and a half sooner than was the report of the census of 1NS0.” The table yet to be prepared is one relating to occupations, and it has been necessary to delay it until the present time. The census office force has now been reduced to forty, and still further reductions will svor follow, until the disbandment of the entire force, which will be a matter of but a few months, The report when completed will contain twenty-five volumes, and Mr. Wright expresses the opinion that it will be the most complete of its kind ever pub- lished by the government. The total cost will be about $11,500,000, or about double the cost of the census of 1890. Mr. Wright is an advocate of a perma- nent census bureau, and he expresses the opinion that before the next census is un- dertaken Congress will provide for the service on a permanent basis. He says he does not know of a member of either House of Congress who ts opposed to a continuous service, and he expects to see the matter agitated in an effectual way when the eleventh census shali be en- urely disposed of. He thinks the expense would be no greater than under the pres- ent method and that the service would be more satisfactory, in that the informa- tion would be more evenly distributed than at present. Now a great deal of very valuable material is gotten together, but there is so much of it given out at one time that Mr. Wright thinks the public hardly has time to assimilate it. If the ofiice were a permanent institution, the superiniendent’s idea would be to num- ber the people every ten years, as required by the Constitution, but otherwise to do very little more in enumeration than in other years. + e+_____ Acting Private Secretary.
