COPENHAGEN, Sept. 3.-Dr.
Maurice Francis Egan, American
minister ut Copenhagen, ON board

steamer Hans Egede this after

Pole, who was standing on the
deck Of the steamer.
The yacht bore the flag OF the
American republic, which Cook
planted at the northernmost
point of the globe, and it was a
welcome sight to the eyes OF the
explorer after his long and peril
GUS trip through the desolate re-
gions of ice.
In Difference to the wishes of
the Danish government, which
had requested that DR.. Cook be
allowed under the Danish colors

ments TO follow. 10 the foes as
indicative Of the Willingness III the
voters to commit themselves ~
such a plan. That the proposition
now submitted nv the Council is
one that would not permit the levy
ing OF tax or tie sale Of bonds,
is evident. Among the reasons for
its ellegal,tN il is necessary to
mention merely the following
lst-The City Council has no
authority 70 submit such an alter
native proposition. nor to hold an
election for such tWo-fold pur-
pose. Nor is il such an election "a
is provided for by any law in this
State. Moreover, the Council may
only call an election TO submit a
special tax proposition when II
finds such taxes and proposition to
he necessary. unless the tax pay
ers petition therefor In the pres
ent instance there ia no petition
of taxpayers, and the ordinance
shows on its face no belief in The
City Council that such tax Is
needed
2nd.-There is no form OF ballot
prescribed aud no method given 81
conducting the election, save that
it is to he held according TO law.
But, there is no law permitting an
election at which two propositions,
seemingly alternative in nature,
may be submitted, and therefore
no method prescribed for holding
such kind of election: and this
phrase is wholly meaningless.
3rd.-If this be intended as tax
election, only taxpayers entitled
to vote at such elections should be
allowed to participate; while the
present call prescrihes that the
proposition is TO be submitted to
the vote OF the qualified voters.
and taxpayers. IT evidently
means that all who are qualified
voters and all who are taX-pavprs,
may vote at this election. and this
would render void any election for
special tax, since many qualified
voters and many taxpayers may
not vote at such elections. Such,
for instance, az qualified voters
who are not taxpayers, and cor
porations and non-residents that
are taxpayers.
The foregoing is sufficient to
show the illegality Of the tax with
