IL seems that the report OF the Supreme Court
decision in the Charleston Tax case on which an
editorial note was based by the STAR did NOT
give a correct impression OF the sc0pe OF the
decision. The point settled by the Slpre ne
court Is not that city cannot tax its bonds
unless provision is made for such taxation
where the bonds are issued. but that when
bonds are taxed a city cannot lawfully with
hold the amount of the tax from the interest
due TO the bOndhOlder.

made, the Needles being passed at 4
o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and
Dungeness at about 10 o'clock on
Sunday morning. The two vessels
arrived without accident or incident
at the Chapman light by 10 o'clock
at night, where the tugboat an
chOred, the Cleopatra hanging
astern by the tow rope. There was
a steady breeze all night, and yes
terday morning a start was made
for Grayesend, the latter place be-
ing reached shortly before Il
O'Clock. Here Mr.. and Mrs. Dixon
went on board and congratulated
the captains Of the two vessels upon
their safe arrival. The custom
house officers next boarded and pro-
ceeded to clear the vessels, which
being completed, the anchor of the
Anglia was raised, and the Cleopa-
ira cast off from the buoy to which
she had been moored precisely at
1850.
The news having spread that the
obelisk was coming up the river, at
nearly every wharf and pier crowds
were gathered, who enthusiastically
cheered as the ships exchanged the
compliment of dipping their flags,
the boys of the Chichester manning
yards.
Some time had to elapse before
the obelisk could be placed on the
East India dock, as a large outward
bound steamer was being towed
through the dock gates, but the
road once clear she was brought
round by the tug, and hawser be-
ing passed ashore, no time was lost
in berthing her in one of the inner
basins. A goOdly gathering of the
friends of Mr.. Dixon was assembled
on the pier, and, on that gentleman
landing, he was overwhelmed with
congratulations.
The peculiar construction of the
Cleopatra cylinder, which is about
81 feet in length and 16 feet in
diameter, makes it appear smaller
than it really is, especially as it is
more than two.thirds submerged.
In appearance it resembles a huge
Cornish boiler, with small deck
| house and mast.

"Mrs. Meiia, the wife of Mr..
Thomas Meiia, who was shot with
Macmillan at Queretaro, was in
great distress. The lady's husband
was one of Diaz's bitterest enemies.
Information reaching Diaz that she
was in destitute circumstances, he
set Immediately, without the at
tendance of his aide-de-camp, to
ascertain the truth of the story.
Mrs. Majia was living in the poorest
neighborhood of the city. Having
convinced himself of her necessi-
tous condition by a personal call, he
left thousand dollars with her on

of the education of her two sons,
the elder of whom he sent to the
military college at Tacubaya-the
West Point of Mexico.
When the revolution in the
State Of Pueblo was coming to an
end there, and Diaz' presence there
was necessary to insure its success,

of his cause by his speedy death.

Havana, belonging to the Messrs.
Alexanders, then lying at Matamo-
ras. He was Immediately recognized
by the purser of the steamer, Mr..
Cooney, who took him to his own
cabin and there provided him with
food and such things as were neces-
gary for his comfort and saw that
he was safely landed when the
steamer reached Vera Cruz. For
this service Cooney has been made
Mexican consul in San Nazaire,
France, one of the most important
consular posts in the Mexican gov

rendered Diaz on board of one OF
the Messrs. AIexanders' ships, they
expected him to renew the contract
for carrying the mails, and to get a
still larger subsidy from the Mexi-
can government. But Diaz declined
to show them any favors, and said
that the service rendered him was
purely personal, and that he could
not allow the interests of the ma.
ton to interfere with his own, and
requires them to submit proposals
as other steamship companies arc
required"
