WILLIAMS STATUE UNVEILED.
The Flag Was Raised by Germany's
Young Emperor.

Breslau, Sept. 4.-The emperor, with the
general staff and a guard of cuirassiers,
arrived here at 1:30 p. m. today. His
majesty was accompanied by the empress.
who was attired in a steel blue robe and
wore the ribbon OF the Order of the Black
Eagle. Both of their majesties were at
tended by their full suites and were well
coined by the civil nd military authorities.
The weather WIS clear. warm and sunny.
After listening to the speech of welcome
by President Sedewitz, the emperor I'M
veiled the statue OF Emperor William on
the Zwingcrplatz. His ma jest s mein was
very austere and his equan nimity was still
more disturbed bY the antics OF the restless
horse which he rode.
Auerihc unveiling ceremonies, however,
the emperor got into lively conversation
with President SeidewitZ upon the merits
OF the monument. Prince Hohenlohe ac-
companied the emperor and looked worn
and i'll.
A reception at the city hall followed the
unveiling ceremonies and the emperor and
empress drank from a loving cup in the
han Of the princes, where their ma aJesties
received the formal welcome OF the city
fathers. -

One among the most important topics
to be discussed In Assessor Trimble,s
forthcoming annual report win be the
assessors.
That the results OF their years work
will show a considerable decrease in the
valuations is confidently pred icted, al
though there are as yetno figures produced
upon which to predicate statement OF the
net amount. 'a''+
The work Of the boar in the ercasscssment
OF city realty has been turned over TO the
assessor and the computations are now
being made as rapidly as possible, with the
view OF having the books ready for the
November seml-annual payment OF taxes.
City TAX ACCOUNT.
Cityprpperty owners will pay their taxes
on both realty and personality in November,
as USUAL Those in the country districts,
however, VIII pay only personal taxes in
November, their realty payments being de-
fered until May, when it will all be due
in bulk.
Another importantitem in the assessors
statement Will be his rene al OF the sug-
gestion Tor Congressional action in the
matter of tax cancellation.
This is subject which Mr.. Trimble
has. twice before urged upon Congress,
and legislation will be again asked as a
means of stopping n leak in the revenues.
Under the provisions of the act approved
March 8, 1880, property that has once been
advertised and sold for the nOn-payment
OF taxes cannot lie again advertised for
the same tax, and consequently when a
party, other than the District, is the
purchase the certificate of sale is for the
tax OF one year only, notwithstanding
twenty years and more may have been due
and unpaid.
WILL WITHHOLD DEED.
The assessor desires and will recommend
that a law be passed to prevent the is
suance OF a deed in such cases until all
arrearages are paid. Under the law as il
stands, any property owner may, IL he
please, decline to pay his taxes for any
length OF time, for twenty years, it may
be, and OF his own accord permit the prop
erty to be sold.
1t can only be advertised for the arrear
ages OF the lastpreceding year, and the Dis
trict loses the taxes Tor nineteen years.
Remedial legislation will be demanded.
One other feature of Mr.. Trimble's report
viii be a Recommendation for amendment
OF the license laws, extending the list of
assessable occupations and giving the as
SCISSOR wider discretion in the application
OF tue law.
The excise boards collection OF whisky
and gin, accumulated in sample half pints
for analysis, has been turned over to the
public institutions, as was hitherto an
nounced would be the method OF disposal.
Two barrels were sent to the Little Sisters
OF the Poor and two barrels to Emergency
Hospital Two barrels yet remain. They
are intended for the Washington Asylum,
and will probably he removed tomorrow.

Pension Legislation in the House,

disposed of at the rate of about one every
five minutes, fifty-eight in all being IA
vorably acted upon before adjournment
Among them were bills granting pensions
to the widow Of Gen. o. NJ. Poe $50; the
widow Of Gen. Jameson, $50; the widow Of
Gen. John Newton. SIS: the widow of ex-
United States Senator George E. Spenser Of
Alabama, $50. and ex-Representative Smalls
of South Carolina, $50. While the pension
bills were being considered the committee
Of the whole rose informally and disagreed
to the Senate amendments to the river and
harbor bill, and sent 1t to conference. Later
NJ. Hepburn Qowa) raised the point that
the action was irregular. and !ntimated
that 1T. was a piece of sharp practice to
prevent the House from considering the
amendments in committee of the whole
Mr.. Hermann (Oreg) disclaimed any such
purpose. stating that the object was to
hasten the bill in anticipation Of a presi-
dental veto. The Speaker took the point
OF order under advisement.

In regard to the paragraph published in
The Star Of yesterday implying that a de-
cision just rendered by the United States
patent office in the matter of the Fowler
Dodge invention affects the Mergenthaler
patents. the president Of that company in
an interview, says that the decision does
not in the remotest degree affect the limo
type machine or its patents. The Mergen-
thaler patents are, he says, long prior and
entirely distinct, and so far as they are
concerned, this decision is of no import
ance whatever. 1t relates only to a con-
test between two individuals about the in
vention of detail Improvement in a diff
ferent kind of machine-a machine for
making matrix by indenting into lead
The first decision was in Mr.. Dodge's ia
vor, and he, claiming to be the real inven-
tor, proposes to appeal.
