WASHINGTON, D. c., April e.-The sani-
tary Council Of the Mississippi Valley,
representing the health organizations,
commercial, and transportation interests
Of the valley States, met recently at New
Orleans to consider the steps necessary to
be taken to prevent the introduction and
spread Of cholera. Ohio was represented

EAGERF For PEACE.
Blu. Will not Accept ANY namillasins

But Will not Accept ANY Humiliating
BERLIN, April Q. - A correspondent
learns from high official source that in.
formation has been received at the Berlin
Foreign Office to-day confirming the rumor
that China is really desirous Of concluding
peace with France, and is even prepared
to pay small indemnity, but China
would not thinkof consenting to terms in
the least humiliating. It is believed here
that peace would be easily arranged
could the Cabinet d'Ahaires re-
place the Ferry Ministry. The Geles-
tials have any number OF men, and
all the arms and ammunition they
need. The Chinese are, however, very
short of money. The Chinese representa-
tives at Berlin lately endeavoredte to raise
loan OF s5,00o000, but failed. Colonel
Tcheng M Tong explained that though
Mr.. Hart enjoyed the entire confidence Of
Che Sung Il Yamen, and had been en-
couraged to sound II. Ferry through an
agent as to the possibility Of concluding
peace, yet tho Chinese Government had
officially held carefully aloof. Tcheng XII
Tong would not say more than this,
although the correspondent believes that
his knowledge OF the position Of affairs
really went further.

march, which was very cleverly led by
Rob Dovener and Bessie Lamb, the grown
people were allowed to skate. A number
of the costumes worn by the masters and
misses were noticeably handsome and
showed that the parents had taken great
pains in fixing their little ones MP.
The session throughout was yery en-
ioyable one, and the proprietors have
every reason to feel proud OF the success

a MIG SUIT DEFINITELY DECIDED
In Favor of Yves. ylrglaIa-rhe Chesapeake
and Ohio Road has to Pony Up Accord.
Ing 70 tho Court of Final iesort-The
opinlou of the sapreme Court.

WASHINGTON, D. O., April GA de-
cision was rendered by the supreme
Court Of the United States to-day in the
tax case of the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail-
road Company, plaintiff in error, against
Joseph s. Miller, Auditor Of the State Of
West Virginia, in error, to the Supreme
Court ofAppeals Of that State. The ques-
ton raised by the case is the constitu-
tionality Of All act OF the Legislature Of
West Virginia, passed March 7th, 1879.
subjecting the property Of the railroad
company to taxation. The COM
pany maintains that by an act OF
the Legislature Of March J., 1866,
entitled can act to incorporate
the Covington & Ohio Railroad Company"
and another net, passed February 26, 1867,
authorizing that company TO consolidate
with tho Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad
Company it, ..as the successor OF the lat
ter corporation, was exempted from taxa
ton SO long as its amount should not
amount to ten percent OF its capital, and
that the subsequent act imposing taxation
irrespective OF this condition Is void be.
cause it impairs tho obligation of the CON
tract. .
This court holds that the acts from
which the plaintiff in error derived its
corporate existence and powers in West
Virginia do not contain renewal OF the
grant Of exemption from the taxation con-
tained in the seventh section OF the act of
March l, 1855.
That the present company can. inno
sense, be regarded as the identical cor
porate body OF which It became the sue
cessor, and that all Its rights as a corpora
ton other than the title to the property
it acquired by the judicial sale, had
their origin and depended upon
an act passed in 1871 and amended in
1877. Such being the case the present
company's charter rests upon ageneral
law which the constitution OF the State
ieclares to be subject TO alteration and
and therefore tho exercise OF
l. legislative discretion In the matter OF tax
alton cannot be complained ci as a breach
Of contract. The decree Of the Supreme
Court Of Appeals Of West Virginia is
0pinion by Mr.. Justice Mathews.

ALMOST the first act Of the much-lauded
new Commissioner Of Pensions, J. @.
Black, Of Illinois, was to ask for the resig.
nation OF Miss Ada Sweet, Pension Agent
at Chicago. General Black was.a soldier
and 90 was Miss Sweets father, and it
seems that soldiers appreciation Of a
soldiers child, when that child is an or.
phan, and who, on his own confession,
has no fault to find with the management
Of the office, should try to guard her from
the rapacious oillce.seekers.
Miss Sweet, honest and capable as she
has shown herself in her important
duties, has the pluck Of her soldier father
and refuses to resign, She Acknowledges
that she may be removed; but re-
sign, never! Tho administration cannot
but admire her when the cabinet ponders
over the following telegram she sent to
President Cleveland on the receipt OF the
request to resign. It reads as follows: g

TaE United States Supreme Court
aEirm the decree, but not the opin.
ion, Of the Supreme Court OF Appeal,
Of this State in the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad tax suit. Indeed, the decision, SO
far as can be gathered from the press dis,
patch, seems to give rise to the opinion
that the higher court did notagree with
The State tribunal in its premises, though
itdid in its conclusions. The main fact ol
interest Is that the railroad company must
pay lis taxes-quite a pretty little sum
now. The Supreme Court holds that the
present corporation did not inherit the
chartered franchises OF its predecessor,
but its organization is under a general
State law, which may be amended. The
State Court held that any act was uncon.
fsutiOnal which exempted from taxation
other property than that mentioned in ex.
press terms in the Constitution. The full
text OF the final decision will be awaited
With interest.

Tho Postmaster General 1ntlmates that
other Heads May Drop In the Basket.
WASHINGTON, April Gin IN interview
with the Postmaster General he stated 10
the reporter Of the Associated Press this
afternoon that the Senate committee asked
for and had sent to them the papers in the
case, including the Inspector'sreport, and
the reason for their declining to approve
the proposed removal was unknown to
him and could only be surmised. The
facts are plainly shown, he said, by the
official report Of the Inspector made dur
ing the term Of President Arthur, and
open 10 no Suspicion Of partisan or per.
sonal unitiendliness, aud are such, indeed,
as to hardly admit Of explanation. The
President In his letter has only mentioned
those in which no opportunity for ques.
ton was open.
The removal was not proposed for any
other purpose than to improve the SER
vice, and the nominee Is o man against
whom no Just objection could lie. The
Postmaster General added that the pres.
ent maybe o good opportunity to say that
from come evidences before him he be.
lieyes the notion to be prevalent and the
practice to be general, that postmasters
should have allowances for clerks suttl.
Client to enable the business ot their Offices
to be transacted chiefly by them, while
the postmaster himself, though the best
paid, should DO required to give no
personal labor beyond 9 general sp.
peryision. This case Illustrates what
may happen from such o practice. II the
excuse ot the Rome postmaster be true in
fact, and In every case OF default the clerk
or assistant will be made o scapegoat, 1t Is
the intention Of the department 20 make .
careful scrutiny Of these allowances and
reduce them, WheH necessary, materially, :,
requiring the postmaster to give his
petsopal time and attention to
the duties ot the office aud assist in their
performance, except In those larger Offices
where his time may be necessarily re-
ouired In general supervision,
II Is believed thatby such q oogrse tho
public will be much better served, and
that q considerable reductonin the annual
expenditures Of the department may be
realized, re

There is something OF the romantic con-

seems that he enlisted the services OF the
