a New York special says: a Two hundred
thousand dollar slice of the munificent be-
quest OF Samuel j. Tilden to the public of New
York city is likely to be grabbed by the state
under new law which has just come TO the
notice of the lawyers. This statute imposes a
state tax of five per cent on all requests To a
public cause. Libraries are, under the law, ex-
empt from all tax, but nearly as the law
yers can make out Mr.. Tilden did not leave his
estate legally TO library, but for what will be
shall accrue on the death OF the decedent, and
six per cent tax is To be added tor any delay in
the payment The question will be taken
before "A court for settlement, but there is no
doubt among lawyers that the estate Will have
to pay the sum, with $40, 900 added as a lee for
the collector.

Mr.. SedgWick's Mission.

GATE IN MEXICO.
Mr.. A. E. Sedgwick, who has been commits
stoned to go to Mexico to investigate the Gut
ting case, was in this city yesterday and left at
night for st. Louis en- route to Mexico. While
here it is stated, he received his final instruc-
tions Mr.. Sedgwick, it is stated, is particularly
charged with all that Mr.. Bayard claimed. He
is, it is claimed to give his attention to show
ing: First-All the evidence newspaper reports
and records from the first complaint against
Cutting down to the exertions of the Mexican
government that he should have a fair trial,
shall corroborate the ground on which the de-
mand TOR Cuttings release was peremptoriy
made. Secondhand the course of justice, had
1t not been for the firm ana peremptory de-
mand of the United States, would have been
Third-That the whole line of prosecution was
changed after the position of the United States
government was emphatically made known to
the Mexican authorities
the printing in the United States of the
official documents in the Cutting case as pro-
mulgated in the DidriO OFFICIAL of Mexico. He
knows this will teGd still more to prejudice the
position taken by the State department and
misead his countrymen. He apprehends that
the sagacity OF the MeXicans will appear in the
light of an afterthought when MIR. Sedgwick
has accomplished his mission, and that accord
ing to the facts his action during the month of
July will need no apology explanation.
MIR. Sedgwick's mission does not concern the
is TO arraign Mexico for repeated and wantOn
violation of friendly relations OF which the Cut
Ting case is regarded as only one of many con-
spicuOus examples.
Mr.. Bayard holds that the history of this case
will show, If Judge Zubia's decision is now
rightly understood, that 1t is Mexico that has
backed down. and that fact he intends to en-
phasiZe with all the means at his command,
and that the representations made to HIM dur
ing the controversy by the Mexican authorities
were intended to deceive and mislead him.

CARDINAL TASCHEREAU'S ACTION ONLY AZ.
FECTS HIS PROVINCE.
In the absence of Archbishop Lynch Vicar
General Laurent was interviewed I'm Toronto
Canada, as to the latest utterance of the church
in reference to the order of the knights OF
Labor. He said he could not speak from au.
thority. as Archbishop Lynch was away, but
he did not think Cardinal Taschereau's COM
munication would cause any change in the
existing state Of affairs. Whatever action might
be taken in Quebec, it would have no effect In
the province of Ontario. The bishops OF the dir
ferent dioceses had discretionary powers In
such local matters.
Rev. DIR. Edward McGlynn, pastor of St
Stephens church, New York city, was called
upon 10y a World reporter, aud asked in regard
TO the condemnation OF the knights of Labor by
the Holy See. He replied: THE decision of the
sacred. congregation Of the propaganda apple.
only to sucn Knights OF Labor as live within the
spiritual Jurisdiction OF the bishops of the
province ofQuebec. 1t has nothing TO do with
the United States

The POWER OF ANNULLING PArENTs.-The
impressions which seems to exist that the APP
plication Of Gray for reinstatement of his ap-
plication for his telephone patent has been
granted by the Patent office cannot be officially
ing that It has been taken, has been very much
Overrated, for the reason that il such a patent
was issued to Gray the Bell patent would still
be valid. Gray would still be Obliged to resort to
the courts in order to have the Bell patent set
aside. After a patent has been issued by the
Patent office there is no power to annul it ex-
cept In the courts, and that remedy is now open
to Gray.

Rumors that Secretary Bayard Intends
IN Resign.

The rumor that Secretary Bayard contem-
plates resigning seems TO be more of an as
sumption than anything else. He has been
very much annoyed and harrassed by the Mex
lean controversy and seems to resent the
criticisms made upon his course. His action in
sending q special agent to Mexico to inquire
into the Cutting affair is construed as an indi-
cation that he had been some what hasty. The
Secretary is absent from the city to-day, and
hence could not be seen personally, but about
the department the report of his resignation
domestic Affections have told heavily upon
him, and by some it is thought that he would
not be averse to private life; but IL Is not
believed that he would retire before some settle
ment Of the Mexican question is effected.
