TAXES FROM RAILROADS.
Right of Counties to Collect Them
Prior to 1859 Argued Before the
Smnrs.mc Court.

Atlanta, July ga case of the highest
Importance to the railroads of this state
has just been argued before the Supreme
Court.
Tax Collector w. r. Staten of Lowndes
county claims that the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railroad is due the county
about $4,000 for taxes from 1880 TO
1889. AS a result of the claim case is
now pending in the Supreme Court and it
remains for that tribunal to decide If the
county of Lowndes can collect the amount.
Previous to 1889 the counties of the state
could not tax the railroads, but an act of
the Legislature during that year changed
the law, giving them the right to tax the
railroads for the number of miles OF track
operated within the county.
Now the tax collector of Lowndes has
assessed the railroad for the years pre-
vious 10 the enactment of the law. The
railroad company refused TO pay the as
sessment and executions were issued
against the Savannah. Florida and West
ern. To collect the claim several lots of
land. property of the railroad. were levied
on and were advertised for sale. The
railroad company. however, secured an in
junction against the sale of the land and
when the case came up for trial a perma-
nent injunction was granted.
The County Commissioners of Lowndes
ordered the tax collector 10 appeal the
case to the Supreme Court The decision
will mean much 10 the railroads of the
state. If the Supreme Court should hold
that Lowndes county has the right 10 col
lect the tax which the collector claims is
due. every county in Georgia in which
there are railroads could assess the same
tax. The Oldest lines in the state could be
taxed from the time of laying OF the rails.
This would involve a large amount OF
money and would cost the railroads much

FORTS FIRED ON MONOCkcY.
Kempff Acted Accordingly in
Subseauent Events

Washington, July 26.-The navy depart
ment has just made public the following
report from Admiral Kempff dated June
20:
Referring to my actions in declining
to take part in the seizure of the Taku
forts, and in afterward making common
cause with the foreign forces in the pro-
lection of foreign life and property, 1
would respectfully state that the Chinese
government is now paralyzed, and the Sc
cret edicts show that il is in sympathy
with the Boxers.
THE fact that under the existing cir
cumstances the troops at the forts were
given much extra drills, torpedoes were
provided. and, it is claimed, planted in
the entrance of the Pei EIo, was consider
ed menacng, and by other senior naval
officers, sufficient cause to justify them
in demanding the temporary occupa ton
of the forts. This eliminated in the bonn
bardment of the forts by other foreign
gunboats on the morning of the 18th in
slant, which has been described. In this
bombardment the Monocacy was fired
upon and struck without having received
previous warning.
1t is now necessary to join with the
other foreign Powers for common defense
and preservation of foreign people and
the honor of our country.
Il refused to join in taking possession
of the imperial Chinese railway station
and also declined to join in the demand
for temporary occupation of the Taku
forts, for l thought it against the policy
and wishes of our government TO be en-
tangled with other foreign Powers in such
a step, and also because it endangered the
lives of people in the interior in advance
of absolute necessity; for up to early
morning of June II the Chinese govern
ment had not committed. so far as I am
aware, any act of open hostilites toward
the foreign armed forces.
In opening fire without warning, an act
of war was committed when many shots
were fired at the place where the Mo-
nocacy was moored. about 5000 yards from
the forts. Those firing must have known
of her presence there, as she had been
moored in that position for number of
days.
Under these circumstances I regarded
the situation as one for the protection of
the national honor and the preserva ton
of our people and have acted accordingly -

better sbnpe-kempff Writes That
the Government Is UphoIding the
Boxers.
Washington, July 26.-There were no de-
veopments to-day to warrant the assump-
ton that there has been the slightest i'm
provement in the Chinese situation. In
deed, the general tendency of such news
as found light, was to add to the steadily
growing doubt as to the good faith of the
Chinese government as manifested in its
acts.
Admiral Kempff's letter, given publicity
by the navy department to-day made
the direct statement that the imperial
authorities were in sympathy with the
Boxers though he added that the govern
ment was afterward paralyzed and inca
pable of controlling the situation.
This was the first official declara ton
to reach our government contradictory of
perial government had steadfastly, and
from the first opposed the Boxer move
ment, and our government is bound to
accept the word of its own officer until
that is overcome by irrefragible proof.
Then, the exchanges that are in con-
stant progress between the Powers are
tending more and more to cast suspicion
upon the genuineness of the many COM
munica tions that have come from Pekin
through Chinese governmental sources.
If it should be finally established that
there has been an attempt on their part
TO practice a gigantic fraud upon the
world the fact may call for change of
attitude on the part of the United States
government toward China. This would
not affect the military policy already un-
DER way. but merely the technical rela-
lions between the two governments. which

Talks Edfct Not Liked.
The imperial edict promulgated yester-
day by Viceroy TAX, at Canton, has left
a disagreeable impression here. Despite
the Chinese minister's view to the contra,
ry, this edict is looked upon as suspc.

declaration of war, as only one step to.
ward securing time to move Chinese force:
into better position for defense against
the internationals.
The navy department to-day contributed
brief news item in the shape of vim
dication by Admiral Remey of the United
States marines from the general charge o
iooting at Tien Tsin. The Admiral had
good deal more than this to report TO tn,
navy department but the officials did no
regard the rest of his report as proper fo
publication just now.
Gen. Miles and Gen. Burlington wer
