NUNS HELD CLPTIyE.-Kirg Betauzin,
OF Dahomey, has seized at Wbyisb the
port OF Dahomey, twenty Europeans. I'M
cludipg several nuns, and has taken them
to Abomey, his capital, where he will hold
them in the event of an attack by the
French. a recer dispatch from Porto Novo
stated that the Dahom syan forces that were
menscing Kotonou and Port, Novo, the
F. each settlements south OF Dahomey, bad
retired northward after oaptnring number
OF the natives, who. 1T Yves believed, would
elite, be offered up SO sacrfoes ct the
"cussoms or cold IS saves. l. mas always
been the desire Of the Ktog of D.homey T..
have Europeans present At thsie "cutt ,ms"
al d In some cases he has fonnd reasons to
detain visitors to his capital for the sole pur'
pose of having them witness the TRIPLE
ceremonies, during which hundreds OF VIC
TINS a-e killed. II may bs that the Euro
peans bis forces have compelled to accom-
pany them TO Abomey are to witness the
slaughter of the victims. Il Ia said that the
French government Is considering the q1es-
,ion of occupying Whydah. Should the
French seizs that port, Dahomey would be
cut of entirely from the sea. which would
be bad for King Bshanzin. as his outlet for
slaves would be Closed, and he would taus
lose very considerable part OF his revenue.

Court of Appeals in Richmond Yesterday

Among the cases decided In the Court OF
Appeals 10 Richmond yesterday was that OF
the Combined Saw and P.aner Company Va
Henry W. FlouFnoy, Secretary of the C3m
monWealth. The company was granted 9
charter by the j1dss of thu Circuit Court OF
Alexandria, ana Then IL was presented to
the Seeratary Of the Commonwealth to be
recorded according 10 requirement OF the
code of Virginia, the Secretary refused to
receive it, on The ground taat a certificate
thst the tax, amouuiog to S2OO, hsd been
paid, wss not presented. The company
ii en- applied to the Court of Appeals for
writ OF mandsmua to compel the SECRETARY
t, record The charter. The plaintiff In the
case coptended that the act OF the legisls-
,ure of February, 1890, requires taI to be
paid t, the COmmo lwearth only on soch
harters as are granted by the legislature.
Judge Faut teroy prepared tae opinion In
this CAGE, In which he Gays Tbs act OF the
legislature has no effect So to charters OBJ
tanned through courts. The Secretary CT
the Commonwealth Is required to receive
and record charters granted by courts upon
the csrtifosts of the clerk Of the court that
granted the charter. The Secretary had re-
fcssd to perform mere ministerial function
and the msndanus asked for In this case
was awarded. The eject OF tais decision
seems t, bs that when charter Ia granted
by the Legislature the tax required must be
paid before the Secretary can record 1t. but.
on account OF clerical error or some other
mistake In the draft OF the bill, the law does
not apply to charters secured from the
couit,. The Secretary is compelled to re.
cord such upon The certificate Of the oon!t
clerks without tax having been paid the
Commonwealth. Judge Tourney said gee
terday that thu decision came too late.
Since the proceedings we're Instituted In the
Court OF Appeals the legislature has met
ard amended the act 30 se TO require tax
to be paid on all charters granted 10 the
Set, bsf,re they can become h'ctiVe
