TAX DECISION AGAINST RAILROAD.
APPELLATE DIVISION HOLDS THAT WRIT
OF MANDAMUs is NOT THE HAIR
LENS PROPER REMEDY.

The Appellate Division OF the Supreme Court yes
terday handed down "A decision reversing the order
of the lower court in which the Tax Commission
ers were directed TO strike from the assessment
roll an assessment of $7.660OOO the real estate
of the New-York and Harlem Railroad. in the
Borough of Manhattan. The railroad company as
serted that the real estate should not be so assessed
because OF the assessment already made under the
Franchise Tax law.
Justice Rumsey writes the opinion. He says
that the law of 1899 provides that the property
specified as subject to the special ranchlse tax
should be taxable only upon the assessment MADE
by the State Board of Tax Commissioners.
The Appellate Division holds further that the
court below should not have granted a mandarnus,
but should have required the REALTORS 10 resort 70
the remedy which the law gives them Dy a wrlit
OF certiorari The order is therefore reversed and
the motion is denied with $50 costs and disburse-
ments.
Justice Mclaughlin writes q dissenting opinion.
He SAYS 1t is conceded that this assessment made
by the local board is contrary to the law, and he
sees no reason why litigant should be driven out
of one door order TO enter the same room by
another There exceptions, he says, 10 the
general rule that one who applies for writ of
mandamus must be without other legal remedy,
and he thinks this case one of the exceptions

cerned had reason to expect. Reports of the vari-
Gus committees received, and the St. Paul and
Kansas City committees returned to their terri

of the questions at issue.
Many of the cOnferreeS, il is understood do not
take Chairman Jeffery's view of the situation feel
ing that much had been left unaccomp!ished The
more conservative members of the conference ap-
pear to be convinced that general enforcement OF
freight rates is impossible without pOwer

in the nature OF pooling plan will have to be
adopted before railroad companies can be held
strictly to their agreements

BULLER'S MESSAGE.

Would Not Send His Men Against the
Strong Boer Defenses by Daylight.
LONDON, Jan. 25.-The following dis
patch from General Butler, dated at
Spearmans Camp, Jan. %, has been
posted at the war office:
Warren holds the position he gained
two days ago. In front of him, at about
1,24o yards, is the enemy's position,
west of Spions kop 1t is on higher
ground than Warren's position, SO it is
impossible to see into it properly.
1T can be approached only over bare
open slopes and the ridges held by War
ren are so steep that guns cannot be
placed on them But we are
Smelling the Enemy's Position
with howitzers and field artillery placed
on lower ground behind infantry.
"The enemy is replying with creusote
and other artillery. In this duel tho
advantage rests with us, as we appear
to be searching his trenches and his ar
tillery fire is not causing US much loss.
"An attempt will be made to seize
Spions kop, the salient Of which forms
the left of the enemy's position facing
Irichards drift and which divides it
from Potgieters drift. It has consider
able command over all the enemy's en-
trenchments."

Platt of Connecticut Will TRY to
Amend Hawaii and Porto
Rico Acts,
Charging Them 80 Per Cent of
Customs Tariffs Other Coun-
tries Pay.
Would Also Abolish the PrOvi-
sions for Delegates in
Congress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Platt
at Connecticut has given notice of inn
portant amendments he will offer to the
bills providing form of government
for Hawaii and Porto Rico. One of
Senator Platt's proposed amendments to
each of the bills strikes out the provision
for the election Of delegate to con-
gress. If adopted, neither Porto Rico
nor Hawaii would be represented in
congress. The other amendments re-
late to the customs regulations. In tho
case of Hawaii, he proposes to eliminate
the Hawaiian commission and insert a
clause for the continuance Of the exist
ing customs relations between the
United States and Hawaii until further
legislation by congress.
The customs provisions suggested by
Mr.. Platt in the case of Porto Rico re-
quires the collection on Porto Rican ar
ticles imported into the United States Il
''sum equivalent to 80 per cent of the
customs duties levied upon like articles
imported into the United States from
foreign countries" Articles original
ing in the United States and shipped to
Porto Rico are to pay there so per cent
of the duty imposed on importations
from other countries.

and also that more attention be given to
reports OH minor crops.

ment of Senate Bill 1888. In making his
report, Mr.. Smith said that the indus.

Importance as to imperatively demand

Their mines employ no less than co.

these are large number of individual
operators, in which several thousand
workmen are engaged. The Hillside
Coal and Iron company (properly the
Erie Railroad company with mines at
Forest City, Avoca and Latin, and also
several contributing individual opera

opposed to dealing with the miners or

employees, provided such committee
comes to them when not under the in
fuence of any outside agency.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-William Jen-
nings Bryan dined at the Democratic
club during the evening with John w.
Kellar, president Of the club, and l2
others. The fact that Mr.. Bryan was
to be guest at the club caused the seats
at the tables to be at premium. Most
of the tables in the general diningroom
were taken possession of as early as 5
O'Clock. Many of the club members ate
two dinners and drank twice as much
wine as they wanted waiting for the
distinguished Nebraskan to arrive. At
1880 Mr.. Bryan appeared and was given
a hearty welcome. He remained about
an hour, Mayor Van Wyck joining the
party shortly before the dinner was con-
cluded. Afterwards a reception was
held in the large parlor of the club,
about 1000 persons being present, and
at 10 o'clock Mr.. Bryan returned to his
hotel,
