CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va. July 12.-For
some time certain papers have published
very sensational and disquieting reports
as to the condition OF Princess Troubet-
skoy. formerly Amelie Riyes. The latest
article that appeared indicated that she
was a mental and as well as a physical
wreck. and that the closing chapter Of her
singular and brilliant career was now be-
ing written
For some time no newspaper report has
been credited when processing to deal with
the home life and eccentricities OF this au-
thoress. But as she lives somewhat re-
tired at her home at Castle Hill. the last
-umor that her health has been wrecked
has gained sonle credence Enquiries have
been made. with the result that il can be
said positively that the princess is in very
good health. and that. so far from being
mentally incapable, she is now actively
engaged in literary work.

Decided Against Erickson.

An interesting decision was handed
down by the supreme court Saturday
morning in the case OF Andrew G.
Erickson, administrator of the estate
of Anna Charlotte Erickson, VS.. Great
Northern Railway company.
The defendant company had set fire
to stumpage and rubbish on its right
of way in Mile Lacs county. The
plaintiffs S four-year-old child went to
the fire, and while playing was burned
to death.
4 The action was brought to recover
damages for her death on the ground
that the right Of way was not fenced,
and that the fire was unguarded.
Chief Justice Start afirms the order
of the lower COURT for the Great North

not bound to exercise care to so guard
the FIRE on its right of way that chill

Lodge, Sacramento, in that year, and

MORE ABOUT TAXES.
The Attorney General Has Rendered
an Opinion Concerning Tax
Redemptions.
Several Property Owners Are Mourn
ing for Cash Paid Tax-Title
Dealers.

Attorney General Douglas Monday
afternoon rendered an opinion that in
order to redeem property sold at tax
sales the redeemer must pay all the
taxes due, and interests and costs.
The decision is Of wide Importance and
will save the State thousands Of dol
lars. There is not a county where
money will not be saved. In Ramsey
alone there is one man who will have.
to pay $4,000 more than he would
otherwise have had to pay if the ldeci-
sion had no. been rendered.
The supreme court recently decided
that chapter 1922 of the laws of 1899,
providing for an absolute sale;of land
for the taxes for 1896 and prior years,
did not operate to cut the right of a
sixty days notice of the time of the
respiration of the period of redemption
The question was then submitted by
the State auditor as to whether the
owner Of land might redeem by paying
the purchase price at the tax sale, or
the full amount Of the taxes, interests
and costs.
tt is many months since an opinion
of like Importance has been rendered.
ISaid Attorney General Douglas Mon

Ramsey, Hennepin and other popu-
lous counties particularly will feel the
effect of the decision. It is impossible
to tell exactly how much will be saved
the State but the aggregate will be

Must Give Notice.

By decision of the State supreme
court it is held that absolute title did
not pass to the purchasers OF land un-
der the recent forfeited tax sale, :
and the original owner has the right
to redeem. That right will exist until
the bidder gives the original owner
notice Of expiration of redemp mption, but
redemption must then be made within
sixty days. This will afford the own
ers a chance to get their land back if
they want it, and it will also compel
the bidders to take additional proceed

EX-SENATOR. QUAYS CASE
Not Thought That More Than One Democra,
Win Support Him
Some of His Friends Wish Him to
Drop the Contest Before 1t Is
Brought to q Vote.

The claim made on behalf of ex-senator
Quay that he will be given a seat in the
Senate by the assistance of a sufficient
number of democratic votes appears to be
based on nothing but assumption. The
claim is made that Mr.. Quay will have the
votes of Messrs. Daniel, Martin, Morgan,
McLaurn and Sullivan. 1t is not likely
that Mr.. Quay will get the vote of more
than one of these. A canvass Of the senate
on this subject, senator by senator, is i'm
possible, for the reason that senators re-
serve the right to keep to themselves their
intentions. and many would resent an in
quiry as to how they will vote, no matter
by whom made.
1t is pretty well understood however,
that, while they are friendly to Mr.. Quay
and were at one time inclined to vote for
him, neither Daniel, Morgan, Martin nor
McLaurin can, after fully looking into the
question, see his way clear to do so, and
1t Is fully expected that they will vote with
the majority of the committee on privileges
and elections If the question ever comes to
vote. 1t is believed that If Mr.. Quay
gets any democratic vote it will be that of
Mr.. Sullivan.
The inability of Mr.. Quay's friends to
get any of these democratic senators to
commit themselves as to their votes. is
causing some of Mr.. Quay's more judicious
friends to advise that the matter be drop
ped, and it is said that Mr.. Quay appears
to be inclined to take this advice under
consideration.
A senator, who is very friendly to Mr..
Quay, and who would have been pleased
at his being elected to the Senate, but who
does not believe that he now has right to
the seat. said today that he did not believe
1t possible for MIR. Quay to be seated, and
that If the advice of some Of his best
| friends prevailed the question would not be
permitted to come to vote.
1t Is a known fact that number of SEN
ators who were at the time Of the meet
ing of the Senate disposed to vote for his
seating. have come, after studying the
question carefully, to the conclusion that
they cannot vote for him, and it will be
personally painful to them to be compelled
| to vote, when their sense OF duty will re-
quire them to vote against the inclination
of their friendship.
1t will be some time yet before the re-
ports Of the committee can be prepared and
submitted to the Senate on account Of the
| time of the committee being occupied with
the Clark case; and neither side appears in
a hurry for action by the Senate.
