announces to-day that William
Waldorf Astor was naturalized
l. British subject July II of the
present year.
NEW YORK. Aug. Little surprise
was occasioned in New York to-day by
the report from London that Mr.. Astor
had decided to renounce his American
citizenship and become a British sub
jeCt. That he would take such action
was intimated upon his last visit to
this country, when he appeared before
the Commissioners Of Taxes and AS
sessnents and demanded that his tax
bills De reduced.
Astor has engaged in disputes with
the depa rtment Of taxes almost an
nually ever since his father. John Jacob
Astor. left him an estate valued at be
tween $4,000 600 and 10o.000000 in 1890
Mr. Astor has long stood at the head OF
the tax lists. his assessments being the
largest of any man on the books.
It was the custom Of the Commits
sioners Of Taxes during the first few
years after Mr. AstOr came into his
fathers estate to levy a personal as

The N2ldOrf-AStOTia had been in
creased from $780, 900 to 500. 900, and
a similar proportion of increase was
made in all Of Mr.. Astor's real estate
buildings. The increase of 81. 600, 600 in

This story is a vile slander and an
imputation on the patriotism and SOL

troops and our own regiment" eX-
claimed an officer of high rank in the
Pennsylvania Regiment when the sub
ject was broached last evening.
When our regiment first set foot on
California soil we were given royal
reception. The people of San francisco
were extremely kind and hospitable
and every member Of our regiment ap-
preciated the cordial spirit shown US
by Californians. Down in Manila the
California troops were not only re
spected. but well liked by every other
volunteer regiment down there.
They were the same generous, warm
hearted class of people who heralded
our arrival here with shouts OF vel
DnOnle
who made our stay in San Francisco
pleasant. and besides they were fighters
from the ground up. and that made all
of us warm to them
i am extremely sorry this story has
been set afloat, for there is not one iota
of truth in it. All the volunteer regi-
ments in the Philippines were banded
together with strong bonds of friend

between the regiments. In the field
they stood together and fought for
their country for the same glory and

The regiment participated in the ad

A New Charter for WhitwOrth.

JACKSON, MISS, Nov 29.-The charter
of incorporation of Whitworth Female
College was filed today with the Secre-
tary of State. The institution is an old
and we'll known one, but it has got a
new charter. One clause of it states
that the curriculum of the studies
taught in the institution shall be equal
to the grade required for college by
the Board of Education of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South. This
board recently met and classified the
UNCONVENTIONAL institutions under the
heads of universities, colleges and sec
ondary schools, and all the female col
leges under the control of the confer
ence in Mississippi fell under the latter
denomination. The move on the part
of Whitworth may be taken as an indi-
cation of the intention of the female
colleges of the State that are super
vised by the conference to come up to
the requirements, thus promoting uni
formity in the curriculums of the
schools.
