Decinion in the Fayerweather ¢ in the Interest of the Collegen— Virginia Coapons. The United States Supreme Court dsy took the unusual course of indicating to the court below the form of-verdici to be rendered in a case. The case is that of Raidlett & Stone for the refunding of money paid as duty upon 2,220,600) bags, which were returned to the United States after having been used for the exportation of grain. The customs authorities imposed a duty upon them on the ground that the bags were of foreign manufacture and the courts below sustained this action, the case coming to this court from the circuit court of appeals from the fifth circuit. The opin- ion rendered today reverses the opinion of the court of appr directing the prepara- tion of a verdict ordering thet one-fourth of the amount paid be refunded, as 25 per cent of the bags were of American manu- facture. The opinion was handed down by Chief Justice Fuller. The Fayerweather € In the matter of the petition of Emma S. Fayerweather for a writ of mandamus and a restraining order to be directed to the ne. cireuit court of the southern district of New York the court refused to make the order. The case involves the bequest of the late William G. Fayerweather to number of educational institutions. Today opinion is in the interest of the colleges. Virginia Coupons Legal Tender. Brewer handed down an opinion reversing the opinion of the supreme court of appeals of Virginia in the case of A. J MeCuHough against the commonwealth of Virginia. The case involved the validity of the state laws concerning the state cou- pons issued under the act of 1: McCul- lJough tendered some of these coupons in payment of his taxes. They were not ac- cepted by the state authoritie: a the state supreme court sustained this refusal. Today's opinion reverses this action of the e court, holding that the coupons were peal tender for taxes in the state. Jus- Peckham rendered a dissenting opinion on the ground of want of jurisdiction. Territorial Rights. An opinion rendered by Justice M. Kenna in the case of the territory of Mexico against the United S$ Trust Company and the receiver of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad. The case involved the right of the territorial authorities to tax the improvements of the railroad company on its right of way without taxing the right of way itself. The decision did not sus this contentéon, but affirmed the dec of the territorial supreme court adver; the taxation of the improvements. PLEASANT ates MY. Brief Meeting of Assoc Last Evening. The regular monthly meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens! Association was held last evening. It was of short duration, an early adjournment being ‘taken to enable mem- bers of the association to attend the mass meeting held at the Majestic to act upon House bill 10222, providing fof the exten- sion of the Metropolitan railroad from 18th street and Columbia road to Mt.

A Reproduction of the Capitol in the Shape of a Silver Inkstand. The room of the Vice President at the Capitol was visited by many persons and the callers saw the most mugnifi inksiand on the Vice President's desk that has ever been taken to the Capitol. This inkstand cost the government $1,000 and Was made during the last recess of Cr gress. The inkstand is in the fofm of a miniature Capitol, is made of solid silver and contains many details of the building after which it is formed. The small domes of the old Senate cham- ber and the House of Representatives form the tops of inkwells, while trays for pens are formed on each side of a stamp box in front of the building. It is twenty-four by thirty-six inches in base dimensions, the height of the silver reproduction being in proportion to the dimenstons of the Cap- {tol. Every on2 who has seen it has pro- nounced it an rhe Vice Pi provided with a splendid high « which shows above its face s of the moon, and is in every re: one of the most perfect timepi produced. Those splendid articles of use and orna- ment are not now the property of the V President, but they probably will be at the close of his term of office. It has been the custom for many years for the committze on contingent expenses of the Senate, at the close of a Vice President's term, to vote to present him with certain articl=s of ornament in his room—the clock, inkstand and andirons usually being among the sou- venirs he is given to remind him of the days he presided over the Senat>. Conse- quently Mr. Hobart will probably be pre- seni2d with these handsome articles at the close of his term of office. ee Thousands of situations have been ob- tained through the want columns of The Star, istic work of great merit. ident’s room also has been yck of ma- the ————— Convocation of Washington.

It will be pleasant news to his Washing- ton friends to know thai Chang, the former Chinese mimister here, is still in the land of the living, although in exile and a long distance from the Chinese capital. The ru- mor that he was decapitated by the order of the Dowager Empress is happily untrue. It attained wide credence a month or two ago and was heard of here by the former admirers and friends of the diplomat with great sorrow and regret. Conveyed as he was in the rudest kind of traveling oytfit for three thousand miles, accompanied by rds, would seem to have been severe pubishment enough for a man of his years and for a political offense, and his return to favor and power would be most gratity- ing information to his Washington friends, should the influences which may bz brought to bear have that rgsult.
