less to Collect Certain Taxes.
Bristol. Tenn, Jan. 9.-In the case OF
the Bristol Land company against }.
ID. Thomas and others, in the federal
court at Abingdon. Va, sweeping
opinion was handed down by Judge
Paul which. to say the least. is severe
blow to state sovereignty. The case re-
lated to the sale of certain real estate
of the land company for taxes and to
the later transfer of the property from
the state. which bought it at the sale to
John ID. Thomas and others in consid-
Grafton of the payment. of the back
taxes. Judge Paul held that the sale of
the land in the first place for the taxes
was Illegal and void. for the reason that
the property at that time was in the
hands of a receiver of the United
States court, and that the state had no
right to interfere with the property so
long as it was in the hands of the court
The decision. it is held by attorneys
will render the state utterly powerless
to collect it's taxes whenever property
is held by receiver.

Dispatches of a More or Less Dis
 Quiefing Nature Received.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Dispatches of importance were received and consid- cred at the war department today. Immediately after he arrival of Sec retary Alger at the department he had a consultation with General Cor bin and denied himself to visitors The conference was protracted. The cabinet was considering dispatches re- ceived from General Merritt and from Santiago. It was understood that General Merritt's dispatches were not of a disquieting nature, although the conditions to be faced in the Philip pines are giving the department con- siderable concern. The conditions at Santiago are causing a great deal of uneasiness and it is believed that more troops will be ordered there very soon.
 It was decided also to send the twentieth Kansas to Manila should additional troops be asked for by Gen. era1 Merritt. The Twentieth is now at San Francisco.
