While the law exempts church prop
erty from taxation the supreme court
of Michigan has decided that the prop.
erty held in trust for the Catholic
church by Archbishop Kratzer, of
Milwaukee, is subject to taxation. This
decision will oblige the archbishop to
convey all trust property to the respec-
tive parishes where it is located, and it
is announced that conyeyances will be
made to the parishes as soon as they
can properly incorporate.
Asa net result of the courts decision,
the parishes will be strengthened and
the titles to church property in Michi-
gan put in line with the DEGREES of the
church hierarchy in America. For some
reason the law and policy of the church,
relative to land titles, has been disre-
garded by many of the bishops, and it
is alright for the courts to interfere
and insist upon church titles being
made definite and certain.

London, Nov. 6.-Attention Is mo-
0entarily transferred to the northern
frontier, where the Beers are advanc-

are retreating. Dispatches from Cape
Colony points indicate extreme disaf-
lection among the Cape Dutch, who
are exulting over the Boer successes
In Natal and are verging on an out
break. No new particulars have been
received Of the engagement Thursday
ut Bester's Hill. The war office is in
clined to minimize the results of the
fight. Renewed hope is in the hearts
of the populace since the report that
the Beers surrounding Ladysmith were
defeated near Besters Fill. While
the gain is believed to have been slight,
the engagement demonstrated that the

l The correspondent of The Standard
al. Ladysmith says the British scored
slight success that was sufficient to
show the enemy that they are still
equal to aggressive battle. He adds
that the Fifth lancers and some field
artillery drove a command of Free
State Beers from their camp, five
miles to the southwest of the town.
Only three of the British soldiers were
hit. News from Natal is still meager,
and what has been received is mixed,

virtually conceded that his successor

Election Returns

EleCClOn returns.
Ohio is still claimed by both parties
but probably republican by 10000.
Kentucky is claimed by both parties,
but indications point to republican
governor and democratic majority in
the legislature.
Maryland has gone democratic by up
wards of 1900.
Iowa goes republican by an estimat-
ed majority of 10000.
Virginia is sturdily democratic by
$4,000 majority.
Nebraska stands by Bryan, and in
creases her democratic majority of last
year more than 1900.
New York gives the republican ticket
an estimated majority of 5000.
South Dakota favors Mckinley and
expansion by 5000 majority.
New Jersey remains republican by
$1,000 majority.
Mississippi remains democratic by
$4,000 majority.
Colorado, also remains true to de-
mocracy's standard.
The increased republican majorities
in states like New York, Iowa and
South Dakota can justly be construed
by the president as an Endorsement of
his policy of expansion, while the re.
gaining of Maryland by the democrats,
by such decisive vote, and the in
creased democratic majority in Ne
braska, show that Bryan's flag is still
flying.
There is little political Significance in
the contests IN Ohio and. Kentucky,
owing to the fact that in each state in.
dependent candidates have polled very
heavy votes. The successful candidate
for governor in Ohio will lack at least
$4,000 of having majority of the en-
tire vote polled, while. in Kentucky
where two democratic candidates hav,
been running for governor, if neithe
should succeed, the result can hardly b
counted upon as permanent republi
can gain.

ity OF the Act.
Chicago, Nov. 6.-That the Illinois
flag law is unconstitutional was the
opinion rendered by Judge Gibbons In
deciding habeas corpus proceedings
brought by j. ]. Hartigan of the elias.
gov Wooden Mills, who was arrested
on a charge Of violating the statute.
In unmistakable terms the judge de.
clared that the informers' fee clause
In the flag act is against the spirit of
American institutions. 1t was held
that the statute guaranteeing inform.
ers share of the fine conflicts with
the power of the governor, granted by
the constitution, to pardon offenders
and remit fines. The decision is re-
garded with interest by the bar, as it
is considered the first instance in the
history of Illinois Jurisprudence where
the fact that part OF the fine i'm
posed for the violation of an act has
been given to the informer has been
used in questioning the validity of the
statute.

the Girls Industrial school at Montevallo

stitute at Tuskegee, was held in the gov

A dispatch showing the feelings or the

Alfred Miner on September q, enclosing
minute sent by the Cape ministers urging
Her Majesty's government to exercise
spirit of magnanimous compromise In or
der to avert a calamity, which seriously
threatens the British provinces in South

This minute goes on to say:
"It is not open to doubt that the issue
of the war will be victory for the impe-
rial arms, but the evil consequences Oh
possibility of a prolonged struggle would
be farreaching and abiding for generations,
affecting Europeans and natives alike"

of the United STATES government to lend
the good offices desired
