action of the county board in order

the assignee was sustained. Plaintiff
had bought an account against the
county from person having delin-
quent taxes. The rule OF the board
is that all warrants shall be subject to
delinquent taxes aud the court held
that it was right in this case to refuse
to issue the warrant to assignee, as in
that case the delinquent taxes of the
original claimant would escape COL
lection in so far as their collection
would have been made possible at the
time the warrant was presented. -

BOGUS JEWELS IN
EDWARDS CROWN

NEW YORK, May 9l,-A cable to the
World from London says: Two Jewel
experts who have examined the regalla
to be used at the coronation Of Eng
lands sovereign have made the dis
covery that nearly one-half OF the
gems in the regalia are spurious.
Nearly all tse large stones have been
replaced by limitations.
The discovery confirms the state
ments made in various memoirs that
Queen Nictoria's two immediate prede-
cessors, William " and George w, re-
sorted to the expedient OF selling or
pawning the crown Jewels when they
found themselves in financial difficult
ties.
II is said that King Edward refuses
to be crowned with paste jewels and
has ordered that the imitation stones
In the regalia be replaced by real gems,
for whose temporary possession he Will
pay. The utmost secrecy is maintained
concerning the crowns the King and
Queen will wear at the coronation; no
one has been permitted even to see
them.
The English crown regalia was esti-
mated TO be worth many millions be-
fore the two experts made the dlscov-
cry. The regalia is kept carefully
guarded in the tower. The same
crowns, orbs and scepters have been
used again and again by successive
soycreigns.

HEAVY FIGHTING
IN COLOMBIA

KINGSTON Jamaica), June 1.-The
British steamer Atrato arrived here
from Colon, Colombia. She reports that
there was heavy fighting at Bocas del
Toro last week. The revolutionists are
said To have mined the town of Bocas.
While the government troops were
marching into Bocas to recapture IL
the mines were exploded and almost
all the government soldiers killed. The
revolutionists still remain in possession
OF Bocas. Colon and Panama are the
only towns on the isthmus now in the
control of the government, and troops
are being poured into these two ports
with the hope of stemming the revolt
tionary advance.
The revolutionists are winning so
much sympathy upon every hand that
the government has decided to reor-
ganize its forces.
The Atrato carried 40 government
field officers from Savanilla to Colon.
including General Gaiveras, who has
been selected, il is rumored, as the new
governor of Panama.
The revolution on the isthmus now
greatly hampers the fruit business
there and it is impossible to predict
when quiet will be restored
