H. stone the Register. came before the
supreme Court yesterday, the plaintiff
asking for writ of mandate. Tho fo,r
points raised by counsel for nlaintie
were as follows:
1ha' the law is imperative as if i'm
poses on the Registery agent duties that
! are Impossible to perform, as he can,o+
give poll tax receipt for prevous
year.
IL IS nnronstitutional from the fact that
'iie justice of the Peace is judicial
olncer and the law imposes executive
duties and makes him a collector of
revenue
mat IL is also unconstitutional from
the tact, that while the constitution oivas
!he legislature the power to make tho
pay 'leit or an annual poll tax a prara- |
qulSlte tor voting, it does not give il r. o
r'sh' 70 make two annual pavments of
one time, such prerequisite.
Inc constitution says that the leoisIa-
lure can make the right to vote demon

pendent upon such payment.
Lastly the title of the bill is at varionco

THE BANKERS WILL Fight
Opposed TO the Payment of a
Tax on Capital Stock.
SAY LAW is IMPERATIVE
a Lively Contest Anticipnted-Nns-
nitUde of the TAXA Meeting of
Representatives OF banking Insti-
1ntfons HeId-A Test Case VIII
Probably BE Made.

A lively contest is about to be precipi-
tated between the tax levying power of
the District of Columbia and the local
banks.
In pursuance of an old law which has
been once decided imperative by the
courts. but which The present legal coun-
sci Of the District Commissioners declares
can be enforced the tax collector was
instructed to lay a tax Of II per cent
upon the capital stock of the banks in
the District The magnitude of this tax
can be readily seen when ii is known that
the smallest bank in the city has capi-
tai stock OF not less than S200, coo which
would make the amount OF the annual
tax in the neiehborhood of $500. This,
added TO a war tax on the same amount
of about $500. it is declared would practi-
cally drive al but the largest banks out
of existence
The National Metropolitan Bank sue
cessfully contested this law several years
ago. consequently when the TAX cOllcc-
tors demands We're received d few days
ago, being bills for one-half Of the tax
the bills We're consigned 10 the waste-pa-
per baskets, and a meeting OF the rep
resentatives OF the various local banks
was held in the rooms Of the Metropolitan
Bank, and a committee appointed. with
George II. B. White. cashier Of Ike Ma
tional Metropolitan Bank, as chairman. TO
take such legal action as might be deemed
advisable.
Chairman White, OF this committee,
was seen this morning by a Times re-
porter. and said that the payment OF the
tax would be resisted, but that She plans
of the committee were not fully matured.
He admitted that test suit would prob
ably be brought in the name OF the Met
ropolitan Bank, but said that further de-
tails would not be made public al pres
ent.
The cashiers of several OF the local
banks were also questioned upon the mat
ter. and were all emphatic in their state
ments that if the tax w-s sustain
ed by the courts il would mean a revolu-
ton In the banking interests Of the city.
Under this tax the Riggs Bank would
pay annually into the Golfers of the Dis
trict treasury $3.50 for the privilege of
doing business. This is denounced as op-
pressiye in the extreme. and - only be
ing equaIed by the Spanish tax ou Cuban
industries
W. this decidedly hostile sentiment on
the part of the bankers il Is predicted

WANTS TIE KNOT TIED AGAIN.
This Time, MIR. Lee Says. n White
Clergyman Must Officiafe

The elopement of Miss Clara Edna Lee,
OF No. 3l5 Twelfth Street southeast and
Frank Iseman, of No. col Pennsylvania
Avenue southeast, and their marriage at
Rockville by colored preacher, as pub
lished in The Times this morning. has.
given pain to the parents of the bride.
1t is not the elopement which brings
tears TO the mothers eyes and excites
the wrath of the father. nor is it the
marriage of the loving pair which wounds
the parental hearts-it is the fact that the
nuptiaI tie was knotted by a colored pas
tor.
The parents make no accusation against
the preacher. They do not hold him to
aecount. They admit that the fault, if il
be a fault, rests with the anxious lovers.
Ihey sought out the coIored preacher and
asked that he exercise his sacred office
This he aid. And he gave his blessing to
the pair.
Miss Lee and Mr.. Iseman went TO Rock
vile Yesterday. They obtained a mar
rage license from the c ERIK of the count
court and engaged carriage to con, ey
them to a parsonage. They ca!.td al tn
home of every white minister in Rock
vile, but found not one at home. Ta,n
their driver took them to tie home Of
Rev. Mr. Hawkins. colored, ana tn
came forth. not as Miss Lee and Mr. Ise-
mar. but Air. and Mrs. Iseman.
Late last night finding that the fac OF

fessed 10 Mrs. Lee There were a W ma
ternal tears and loving blessing. he
young people had omitted to IN ntion tn.

Was learned through The Times this
morning
J. {. Lee father of the b-ide ana the
wcll-known temper ace advocate. said t.
a Times reporter today that he fought ii
the Confederate army for four years ami
that his daughter should be married Ly
a colored preacher was little more than
he could stand. They must be marri d
again by a white preacher. He did noI
object 10 Mr. Iseman. That young man
had been welcome visitor at the family
home for a year. Had the young people
made known their wishes the MARI lag
might have been solemniZed IN fitting
form at the brides home.
Mrs. Lee said that ii Cara would only
consent TO be married over by white
clergyman, the bride and groom would b.
gievn wedding reception and supper at
the house. Mrs. Iseman. who remains
with her mother. was present at the in
terview and said that it mattered little
to her that she was willing to be mar
ried the second time If Mr. ISeman wou d
assent.
SEe sought To molIify her mother By
rerlarking that Rev. Mr.. Hawkins was a
very bright coiored man This did not
appear 10 aSsuage the mothers concern
who insisted that If the preacher was not
white ne was colored and the question
of shade or tint could not be considered.

Madaline Mason, a coIored woman
about thirty-iive years old, was found ly-

late hour last night by Policeman Cats
in an unconscious condition. The Emer-

Sugar Exports to Canada.

The State Department gave out for pub
lication today a report from Consul
Campbell at Port Louis concerning the
sugar exports from Mauritius 10 Canada
and in regard to the application of the
Canadian preferential tariff to British
colonies. He says that Mauritius has been
admitted to a participation in the % per
cent reduction on sugar exported to Can
ada. The consul adds that, so far as he
knows, none of the sugar produced in that
colony has ever been shipped to Canada
although the exports to the United States
are considerable. The tariff concession
has given much satisfaction to Mauritius
planters, especially as sugar sent to India
and South Africa is taxed

Cuba. Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Gen Wood, who has exerted hfss in
fluence in bringing order out of confu-
sion in Santiago has very properly de-
cided that Cubans should join in the Ma
tional Thanksgiving. Gen Wood will
issue a proclamation to the effect that
President Mckinley has set apart No
vember oath as the day, and he, therefore,
will ask the people of the island to OBJ
serve the day. The Americans who are
in Cuba require no reminder of the event
and preparations are being made to be
supplied with turkey and Heurich's Maer-
zen Beer. The Americans In Cuba are not
the only ones who want Heurich's Beer
for their Thanksgiving dinner, as every
body in Washington will supply them
selves with a case for that occasion
