that it must command the interest OF

This power applies equally to the

A new law on the tax of gold and
 liver was promulgated on the lst day qf July ultimo in Mexico, and reads gs follows:
 Ist. Interior stamp tax shall be at he rate of three per cent. of the metallic value.
 2nd. Coinage charges two per cent.
 3rd. Assayiog, smelling, refining md parting to be regulated by tariff of the finance department.
 The above tax includes gold and bar silver, also the precious metals found in copper, lead and all forms Of ore. Whether the metal is presented for coinage or exportation, the stamp tax, coinage and assay charges are still L" be paid. Other charges only apply 10 metals destined for exportation and coming from the state in which they have been taxed in conformity with the law of June 9th, 1897, the coinage charges and stamp tax can be liquid ated, taking as basis fl SO author orized by the finance department, the mineral value attached by the assay office or collector of taxes. The me tallurgical departments which have special stipulations in force at the date of the new law, are exempted from coinage of silver tax as well as that exported directly, provided that the silver in the lead does not exceed seven milesimos, and in the argentif- erous copper wenty milesimos, but if the per centage of silver exceeds these limits, the coinage tax must be paid upon the excess. The exemptions however, only apply to those pro ducts proceeding from those establish ments claiming exemption II does not apply to that which they may purchase from those establishments claiming exempllun IL does not an. ply to that which they may purchase from otter restablishments
 Ores with less than 25O grams of silver or ten grams ot gold per ton are exempted from taxation, under the new law of lS97 Other ores exported in their raw state or after mechanical concentration, are liable to stamp tax and coinage dues less than ten per cent. The department of finance can grant special concessions in exporta- tion of ores in large quantities, but no rebate or exemption is made on the stamp tax or coinage charges.
 Two Republics: Yesterday morn ing committee of representative Masons called upon President Diaz at Chapultepec castle and presented their felictations to the chief magis- trate upon his escape from harm on the l6th of last month. The congrat- ulations were handsomely engraved upon tablet and represented the various Masonic bodies of the city. The president made a neat reply in few words, saying how much he ap- preciated the token from his brethren and that it would mark an epoch in his Masonic life. 1t was a mutually pleasant occasion.

THE CHURCHES AND SOCIETIES.

Chas. Y. Abrahamson, an Armenian,
will occupy the pulpit Of the Baptist
church Sunday morning and will lee
ture in the Congregational church in
the evening.
The Baptist church was crowded to
its utmost capacity last Sunday night,
many being obliged to stand during
the service. No regular sermon was
preached but after remarks were made
by Revs. Mcconnell and Munger the
ordinance OF baptism was conferred on
thirteen by immersion in the baptistry.
AS result of the revivals and the
good work done by Rev. Robert Nc
Hardy, there has been quite boom in
the sale of bibles. L. l.. Holmes says
they have sold more bibles and testa-
ments in the past few weeks than be-
fore in a whole year. At Benedict q
Co.'s, too, the same ratio is reported.
A rare treat is promised the ladies
of the Congregational church, We'd

arrangements with Mrs. Jennie E.

ance in this city in an interportative

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

The company now playing at the
Opera House under the management OF
Sunlin g. Stair which will remain all

is positively one of the best and no one
should miss attending it. The trained
dogs with their tricks are wonderful
and the Vaudeville speciality by the
troupe OF japanese is far ahead of any
thing ever seen here. The moving
pictures are thrown onto large can
vass by an immense instrument of
great power and are very fine. Do not
fail to attend.

A HOSE WAGON.
Firsmsn Want One Badly-The Carts are
Man Killers.

Firemsn Want One Badly-The CARTS are
Man Killers.
Some members of the fire company
complain bitterly about the heavy hose
carts which they are obliged to haul to
every fire. 1t is claimed they are reg
ular man killers; that firemen who tug
away at them in getting to the place
OF action are all tired out and in no
condition TO do effective work in fight
ing fire. 1t is suggested that 1t would
be good business policy for the city to
throw them aside and purchase hose
wagon. In this event the force could
be cut down from 26, the present num-
Der, to about ten or twelve who would
do as good work, If not better, than
can be done by the present force with
the unwieldy carts. The extra expense
in maintaining so large pay roll
would soon purchase good wagon.
1t might be remarked in behalf of
the board OF aldermen that they have
not been unmindful of the great need
of something of this kind and last
spring looked the matter over quite
thoroughly but found so many ways OF
disposing OF the limited means at their
hands that they decided 1t would have
to go over for another year. Perhaps
the new council will be able to arrange
matters so that one may be purchased.
