Compromise Regarding TObacco-Bank
Check Stamps to 90.

Washington, D. c., February 60
complete agreement has been
reached on the most important items
of the war-revenue reduction bill.
On beer, the House wins its conten-
tiop. and the Senate yields. The
House fixed a rate of 81 60 per barrel,
without any discount, while the
Senate retained the old rate OF "
per barrel, with a 20 per cent dis
count. The difference between the
two rates is about 10 cents on the
barrel.
The tobacco tax is compromised.
The House left the tax standing at
- cents per pound, as in the existing
law. while the Senate reduced IL 20
per cent, or to 9 cents per pound.
The compromise provides for re-
ductjon of cents and 40-1OO OF cent
per pound, leaving the rate 9.6O.
The House also comes out ahead
on bank checks. The House repealed
the entire tax on checks, out the
Senate did not accept this action.
The Senate conferrees now conceoe
the House provision. The reduction
in the revenue will be $7,OOO,OOO on
account of this action.
The House provision entirely re-
pealing the tax on proprietary meol-
cines was also accepted.

OLD POINT NOTIN VIRGINIA.
Such is The Decision or Judge Black
stone.

Newport News, Va, Feb. "a
Judge Blackstone, in the Circuit
Court of Elizabeth City County, has
delivered an opinion which involves
q nice legal question which has been
pending in the courts several years.
Some time back an injunction was
secured restraining the School Board
of Chesapeake district OF Elizabeth
City county from disposing OF school
taxes collected under special State
law from property owners doing
business at Old Point for the exclu'
sive benefit Of that district. Judge
Blackstone holds that the reserva
ton at Old Point is not part OF viz
giuia. technically speaking, having
been coded to the United states
Government, and that the property,
there does not come under the head
Of taxable properties in the State.
The Judge holds that money must
be expended for the benefit OF the
schools OF the entire county. He de-
cided that the reservation was not a
part OF the State apd could not be
part of one Of its subdivisions. The
Injunction was made permanent, al,
though the Judge specifically stated
that the question Of the right to tax
the property on the reservation was
not involved.

Gen. Lee to Return to Cuba.

Havana, February 25.-It is report
ed that General Fitzhugh Lee hai
accepted the Presidency OF big
Cuban-American land syndicate, and
will soon return to Cuba to look af-
ter It's interests. The company is said
to have obtained options upon all
lands around the Cabanas harbor
west of Havana, and at Bahia Pondo,
in Pima del Rio, as we'll as along the
line of the old military trocha, upon
which the towns OF Artenusa and
Gunalajad are located. According to
report, the company having options
intend to lay out an American town
fronting deep water port upon the
north coast of Western Cuba. The
report has created much interest, as
General Lee is greatly beloved here.
The Cubans will be glad to see him
return and be interested in the
island.

Many articles descriptive of the
principal towns in Virginia of late
have appeared in the columns OF the
Baltimore Sun and Cape Charles was
included in the list in Tuesdays
issue of that progressive journal.
The write-up shows that our sister
town is well to the front with the
leading towns of the State and may
outstrip the most of them in the next
decade, if the rapid ard healthy
progress continues, which it has
made in the brief period OF its exis-
tence. Its location, surroundings
climate, &c, justify that prediction
if the people who help to make a
progressive town will avail them
selves of the advantages in their
reach. Editorially the Sun has the
following to say of the little city by
sea: Cape Charles City, the southern
terminus of the New York, Phila-
delphia and Norfolk railroad, while
but the growth of Il few years, has
already become thriving town,
where both population and business
are increasing rapidly. 1t has a
splendid harbor, well paved streets,
excellent schools and churches repre-
senting half dozen denominations
The waters around are the home of
fish, oysters and CLAIMS, aud a profita-
BILE trade in these is conducted. The
business men are active and ener-
getic in setting forth the advantages
Of the town as a trading point. The
fishing and shooting around Cape
Charles are unsurpassed, as it is the
home of wild fowl of all kinds, while
in their proper season bluefsh, sea
and bay trout afford fishermen rare
snort. The town offers industrial op-
portunities which will doubtlessly
be speedily availed of.

ton, who were indicted on bribery
charges by special grand jury, in
vest igating municipal scandals, were
To-Day dismissed by Acting Police
Justice E. 8. Robinson, who refused

alleged crimes were charged two
years back, and bribery being mis-
demeanor, under the Virginia law,
the charges were outlawed by the

He said that the grand jury had no
right to indict for offences occurring
further than one year back, and that

REGARDING OYSTER BEDS.
Judge POrtlOck Passes Upon Important
Question in County Court.

A recent amendment to the oyster
laws put it out OF the power OF the
commonwealth to prosecute AlonZo
Drewry and Throdare Furman, al
legged oyster poachers, who were
charged with having taken oysters
from the private beds of Mr.. Nj. W..
Dennis, at West Norfolk. The case
came up in the county court yester'
day on appeal from Justice bunting 8
court. where the men were fined 80
each.
AT preliminary stage of the trial
Yesterday, counsel for the accused
men raised the Issue that 1t was In
cumbeut upon the commonwealth to
prove before proceeding further that
Mr.. Dennis had complied fully with
the terms of the law. The statute
provides, in effect, that a riparian
owner can claim but one-half acre OF
his land free of tax On all but this
small tract he is to be taxed as to the
cultivation of oysters, exactly as If he
had no interest or title in the prop
erty. The half acre provision is to
allow private beds, but of none
large enough for anything more than
family use. But in order to secure
even this concession, the owner must
amply to the county surveyor after
dine notice and have his bed survey
ed and a plat made OF 1t. 1t was this
provision which Mr. Dennis neglect
ed to observe, consequently, Judge
Portlock in passing upon the case
declared that the beds which the
complainant planted and has claimed
AS part of his estate, is really moth
ing more than common ground, ano
that the taking of oysters from
thence by another is moi larceny -
