vIRa1N1A's COUPONS.
A Court Rules That the State Is NJ
Bound to Receive Them For Taxes.

A Court Rules That the State Is Not
Bound to Receive Them For Taxes.
Richmond, Va, March 15.-An opinion
was handed down to-day in the supreme
court of appeals of Virginia of great i'm
portance to the commonwealth and it's
creditors. The decision in brief is that
the entire coupon contract is void. The
case in point is that of the common
wealth VS.. McCulloch, from the corpora
tion court of Norfolk This case, and
several others of the same kind, was
argued by the attorneys for the common
wealth, and the question decided by the
court of appeals to-day was raised for the
first time by Messrs. Scott and Pollard in
the Norfolk case.
The decision of the court Is based on
the decision of the United States supreme
court in the case of Vashon VS.. Greenhow.
Under the upon contract funding. bin of
1871. ar 1 the Mccullough bill, it WIS pro-
vided that the coupons should be re-
ceived for all taxes due the common
wealth.
NOT BOUND TO RECEIVE THEM.
But in the Vashon case the supreme
court of the United States decided that
the state was not bound to receive coupons
for school taxes, and the Virginia court
of appeals now holds that as the coupon
contract is illegal in one particular, it is
illegal as whole and therefore void.
The decision inyolvolves 1850, 600 of out
standing coupons, which were not funded
under the Olcott settlement. 1t was the
purpose of the holders of these coupons to
tender them for taxes, and to compel the
state to receive them or compromise with
the holders, but this decision forces them
to accept the Olcott settlement or
nothing.

DA CANVAS FLIGHT.
The Brazilian Government May De-
mand His Surrender.

Copyright 1894 by the United Press.l
Rio de JaneirO, March 15.--The Ameri-
cans who had manned the governments
warships were paid off to-day They will
leave the city on the first ship sailing from
this port for New York. E. A. Brinley,
who commanded the crew of the dyna
mite gun aboard the Nictheroy, was dis
rated at Bahia, because he kept the gun
out of order. The government officers
suspected him OF being a traitor, and pur-
posely rendering the gun useless.
The French warship Magon, on which
Admiral Da Cana sought refuge just
prior to the surrender of the insurgent
fleet, crulsed off the coast for a short time
and then returned to port. She transfer
red Admiral Da Cana and eight other in-
surgent officers to the Portuguese war
ship and then put out again Several
hours later, a French mail steamer was
stopped as she was leaving port, probably
because the federal authorities suspected
that she carried the insurgent admiral.
Her captain provedto the satisfaction of
the Brazilians, however, that none
OF the insurgents were aboard her.
MAY DEMAND GAMA's SURRENDER.
President Peixoto and his cabinet are
considering whether they will demand
from the Portuguese the surrender of
Admiral Da Cana. 1t is known that the
insurgent admiral was more anxious to
get an asylum under the British flag
which has been more or less at his service
since the beginning of hostilities. He
applied for passage aboard a steamer Of
the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company
whose vessels ply between South Ameri-
can ports and Southampton, but the cap
tain declined to carry him
The Nictheroys dynamite gun is to be

CHARGES OF DISCRIMINATION.

Tho Rock Greek Co.'s Reply Filed
With tho Interstate Commission.
The answer VI the Rock Creek Railway
Company has been filed to the charges
made before the interstate commerce COM
mission by Charles M. Wilson Of Mont
gomery county, Nd. that the company had
violated the interstate commerce law by
charging an additional fare over the Dor
ton OF its line in Maryland. In its reply
filed by Henry e. Davis. attorney of the
company. 1t Is denied that unjust or unlaw-
full rates Of fare have been collected, and
passenger was sufficient, AYERS that the
present charge Of 1-8 cents is authorized
by the charter under which 1t operates, and
denies that the advance In rates was made
FOR the purpose Of excluding any portion Of
the public from using its lines or that any
discrimination has been made.
The double tickets disposed Of to those de-
string to visit property owned in Mont,
Company. 1t Is asserted. are supplied by the
railway to the company. the latter having
clear right to make such further dispo-
sition of what they have purchased as
seems proper.
The company protests that 1t is no more
amenable to criticism than II 1t should, at
the request OF merchant, sell him a ticket
over either one of the divisions at full rate,
leaving 1t to the merchant to dispose Of
the same to his customers, or in any other
manner which he might deem advantageous
for his business interests. And 1t IL no
concern OF the company that by reason Of
the manner by which the Chevy Chase Land
Company disposes Of the tickets, certain
persons favored by the land company are
enabled to take longer ride on its road
than other persons not SO favored by the
land company.
1t Is asserted that freight IL handled by
the Rock Creek railway only for the bene-
fit Of residents along its line and In not
used by the public generally.
