TO SEARCH FOR ANDREE.
King Oscar of Sweden has Furnished
Money.

NEW YORK, March IA special
cable to the Sun from London says: A
dispatch from Stockholm says that
King Oscar of Sweden, at the request
of Dr. NOrdenskjold, has provided F.
b. Martin with $500 kroner in order
that he may make a search for Andree
and his companions. 1t is added that
Martin had started on his search.
The trifling sum mentioned suggests
that the dispatch is inaccurate, though
the smallness of the amount may he
due TO a telegraphic error.

DELAY IN SECURING
TAX CERTIFICATES
Assessor Trimble Asks an In:
crease of Force.
The Clerks Making Examinations
Work Overtime.
The Secretary of the Washington
Title Insurance Company Com
plains to the Commissioner.

The Commissioners were informed some
time ago by George r. Linkins, Secretary
of the Washington Title Insurance Com
pany, that much delay and trouble fol-
lowed most attempts to secure extra tax
certificates. Mr.. Linkins also asked that
the clerical force of the tax certificate Of
flee be increased SO as to enable the
Commissioners to have the work COM
pleted at an earlier date. The matter was
referred to Matthew Trimble, the Dis
trict Assessor, who has submitted a
lengthy report TO the Commissioners. This
report, in part, follows:
There are two clerks employed in max
ing examinations. and one clerk type
writing them. Each certificate is examin-
ed by different clerk from the one max
ing the original examination, in order to
ensure absolute accuracy; besides, consid-
cradle time is required in locating them.
There has been considerable increase
in the number of certificates as compar-
ed with previous years, for example in
1898, during the month of May there were

EMMANUEL P. E. MISSION.
The Commissioners Exempt the
Property From Taxation.

The Rev. w. G. Davenport rector of Fm
manuel p. E. Church, in Anacostia, wrote
10 the District Commissioners last April
asking that the taxes against piece of
property at Hillsdale be remitted as it was
occupied by Il colored mission under his
charge and used exclusively for religious
purposes. II appeared. however, that the
property had stood in Mr.. Davenport's
name since its purchase in 1896. and in
accordance with the recommendation of
Assessor Trimble and the opinion of 5.
T. Thomas, at that time Attorney for the
District, the Commissioners decided that
the taxes on the property could not be re-
mitted until it was transferred to the
church.
Subsequently Mr.. Davenport decided the
ground to the vestry of Emmanuel P E.
Church, the legal trustees, and wrote to
the Commissioners few days ago asking
that in view of this circumstance the taxes
| against the property for the last four
years should now be Cancelled.
The District authorities have concluded
to exempt the property from taxation for
the present year. but believe that the taxes
| for 1895, 1896, and 1897 should be paid.
