Mr.. Shaw now moved that in the Wayne
case, as well as in the Leland University
case, all proceedings should be waived.
Mr.. Remick pointed out what injustice
might be done by this course to IL possible
future purchaser of these lots who would
find them saddled with mortgage of years
of taxation when he supposed they had
been exempt.
Mr.. Shaw's proposition to waive proceed
ings in all cases except Mr.. Kleirhagen's,
was carried.
Mr. Walton urged that Mr.. Kleinhagen
stood on the same footing as Bishop Odin.
Mr. Shaw said no. Bishop Odin was a

A Washington special to the St. Louis
Democrat says:
Certain parties in New York, mostly con-
fined to select circle of the old friends of
Secretary Fish, have forwarded a letter to
the latter, jointly urging him to retain his
present position in the State Department,
and not to put into effect his often ex-
pressed wish of retiring from public life
This request will have but little influence
on the Secretary, as he has made up his
mind to retire just as soon as he can settle.

has engaged his attention while in his pres

sioner of Internal Revenue will probably
renew his suggestions to Congress next
winter in favor of law allowing draw
back of the tax paid on whisky exported,
besides making other suggestions calculated
for the relief of this business from some of
its present burdens.
Distillers now have to pay. in addition to
the tax of fifty cents on the gallon, the sal
aries of storekeepers, gaugers' fees and for
locks, meters, etc. The commissioner
thinks. the business of his bureau will be
greatly simplified and that the tax will be
much more willingly paid by distillers if
the tax per gallon were increased suffi-
ciently to cover these extra expenses and
then have such officials paid out of the pub
lie treasury.

The Opelousas Journal says of the storm
in st. Landry parish:

In st. Landry parish:
On Friday afternoon, the ninth instant,
a storm of wind and rain began here,
coming from little northeast, continuing
all night, and gradually changing to the
east, and just before day to the southeast.
After daylight it shifted to the south, and
became more furious than ever. 1t con-
tinued until about noon on Saturday. The
ground being very soft, from three weeks
OF rain, the trees were an easy prey to the
wind; We never saw SO many blown down
here before. We hear that the roads lead
ing through the woody country were i'm
passa6le after the storm, being blocked up
with blown down trees. We hear, also.
that IN one section of the parish the cattle
deserted the prairie, and went into the
woods for protection against the storm and
that large numbers of them were killed by
the falling trees. The corn, except that
which was very small, was blown down
everywhere and the blades torn to sbreds
by the fury of the wind. The damage to
the crops, from wind and excessive rains.
is very great. The corn crop is injured be-
yond recovery. The rains still continue.
and the grass only is fourishing. Corn
prospects here are gloomy indeed.
