County Treasurer's
Notice Of Taxes
for Year 1900,

The tax rolls of Whitman county, state of
washington, for the year 1900, are now in
my hands for the collection of the taxes there
on; said taxes cannot be paid or receipted for,
however, before the first Monday IN February
FEBRUARY A., 1901 land will become delinquent
June LIST, 1901. Half payment Of the real
estate taxes may be made on or before May
81, 1911, when the remaining half will not be-
come delinquent nor be subject to interest
until after November 80, 1901. Interest at
the rate of 10 per cent per annum will be
charged from date of delinquency on all taxes.
10 all who pay the tax on real
property before March 10Th, 1901
IN full, and in one payment, there will be a
rebate of three per cent.
1t will be the duty of the treasurer to issue
certificates of delinquency to any person that
may apply therefor, on any real estate that
may become delinquent. On tracts that are
not half paid by May 81, 1901, certificates of
delinquency may be issued Immediately there
after.
On tracts that are half paid by Nav 31st no
certificates of delinquency can be issued until
after November Both, 1901. When applica-
ton is made for a certificate of delinquency
interest is figured to date of application and
added to the original tax. The whole amount
then bears interest at the rate of Is per cent
per anntfm.
The tax lien against property covered by a
tax certificate may be foreclosed at any time
after the expiration of three years after date
of delinquency.
Personal property tax does not come under
the same rule as realty No half payment can
be made as in the case of the latter. The law
governing its collection reads as follows: "Op
and after the first Monday of February sue
ceedlng the levy of taxes the county treasurer
shall proceed to collect all personal property
taxes"
The 1899 laws require that the treasurer
shall notify all personal tax payers, by mail,
OF the amount of tax due, and interest at
taches 30 days after the date of such notice. at
the rate of Is per cent, and not after the Let
day of June, as heretofore held; and if such
taxes are not paid on thirty days notice, unless
secured by real estate, he shall distrain suf-
fcient goods and chattels belonging to the
person charged with such taxes to paw the
same, etc., sec. II, chap. II, laws '97. 1t will
thus be seen that personal property tax must
be paid Immediately after the first Monday in
February, 1901. Owners of real property of
sufficient value and free from incumbrance
may have their personal tax attached to their
real property by notifying the county treas
urer and satisfying him of the above require
ments.
There is this year an exemption of $500 on
certain specified articles of personal property
such as beds and bedding, wearing apparel
cooking utensils and mechanics tools, This
exemption is taken from the tax by the as ses

PLANS FOR M'klNLEY ARCH
LOCAL ASSOCIATION DECIDES TO aP-
PEAL TO CONGRESS-.
The Movement to Have Indorsemeut
and Cooperation OF the Cam
ton Association.

The erection of a national memorial to
William Mckinley in the city of Washing
ton took tangible shape yesterday after
noon at a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the William Mckinley National
Memorial Arch Association, held at the
Office of the chairman, Charles ]. Bell, 1907

Preliminary steps were taken for carry
ing out the object of the association,
through congressional assistance. A bill
will be drafted Immediately, and a Joint
petition, signed by the officers and mem
berS OF both associations. will be presented
in support OF it, and the Senate park COM
mission will be asked to include a recon-
mendation on the subject in its report to
the Senate
The meeting was largely attended and
very enthusiastic.
This action has the hearty support of
the Mckinley National Memorial Associa-
ton, at whose request the local committee
turned from the field of popular subscrip-
ton to Congress in order that it might not
1mperil the success of the movement for
the Canton monument or defeat its own
purpose.
Makes n Statement.
Commissioner Macfarland, president of
the association, reported the result of in
quiries made by himself and others among
senators and representatives which indi-
determination to advocate it. 1t was eX-
planned that provision had already been
made by Congress for the erection of a
monument TO Grant, and that 1t was de-
sired and expected that Congress would
take steps at this session toward the erec-
ton of memorial to Lincoln and then of
a memorial to Mckinley. General John NJ.
Wilson made a motion, which was Sec
onded by DR.. Talmage, to the effect that
the officers of the association, Commits
sioner Macfariand, Secretary Gage, Chas
j. Bell and Thomas F. Walsh be directed
to draft a bill for the Mckinley memorial
on the general lines of that offered by
Senator Cullom at the present session for
the memorial to Abraham Lincoln, and
have it presented to Congress by a senator
and representative who have signified
desire to introduce it.

Reasons Advanced Why Court Should
Refuse Request of Rev. Williams.
Henry Y. SatterIee, bishop of the diocese
Of Washington of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church, has filed answer to the rule
to show cause why a writ of certiorari
should not issue, as requested by Rev. Gill
bert F. Williams, the latter, it will be re-
called, having instituted proceedings for
certiorari the 10th of last August. The ap-
peal was made 'to the end that the acts,
proceedings and pretended adjudication,
judgment and sentence of a supposed ec-
clesiastical court and the bishop" who de-
prived the petitioner of his Office Of priest
of the church, may be reviewed and cor
rected on their merits or set aside and de-
clared void and Of no effect"
In his answer Bishop Satterlee moves
the court to dismiss the petition on the
following grounds:
Because the petition does not show
upon it's face a case emitting the petitioner
to the relief prayed; because the Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia has no
jurisdiction by certiorari to review the find
fngs or judgment of an ecclesiastical court
because the ecclesiastical court whose ac-
tions are complained of Is not under the
Jurisdiction of the District Supreme Court
nor is it court of inferior Jurisdiction
subject to review in any manner by this
court; and because the ecclesiastical court
was created as a matter of discipline of
the Protestant EpiScopai Church. under
ecclesiastical law, andunot under or sub
ject to civil law, and the civil courts have
no jurisdiction to tissue a writ Of cer-
tiorari to inquire mtofa matter of disci-
pline, or adjudicate question as to the
proper interpretation of any canons of the
church; and because the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia has no power
to review the facts. or set aside the con-
