Extraordinary State OF Affairs on a
British BattleShip.

Porthsm >uth, Eng Aug. lS,-There
is great excitement here over most
extraordinary state OF affairs on board
the British battleship Royal Sovereign
which is about to sail for three years
service with the Mediterranean squad
ron. The relations between the several
officers and the seamen are aeutely
strained. The latter declare that they
are suffering from variety of serious
grievances Fifty men have deserted,
all the cells on the ship are full and the
supply OF irons is not sufficient for the
large number undergoing punishment.

the court in Gilkcy vs., Mckinley, %

is binding upoa the legislature and the
executive, and can neither be onlarged

the opening words IN the law of 1890
should he construed ny including real
estate owned by banks, the answer Is
.hat hose words must be rcAd In con-
ncCtion with the law which the act OF
1866 superseded, That law provided
that banks should pay semi-annual
tax of three lourths " one per Centum
ON the amount Of their capital stock
and that said stock shall I've exempt
from all other taxes except on that
portion thereof which shall consist ot
and include the real property Of
banks and the real property of all
banks and banking associations shall
be ssessed and taxed whore the same
is located 1t seems clear that the pur-
pose of the law OF 1866 was to change
the method OF taxing the capital
stock of banks other than real estate,
This view finds confirmation In the
fact tina until the enactment Of chap
ter 261. laws Of 1895, no provision
was made for doducting from the val
ur Of the bank stock the value Of any
real property whatever held by banks
