wealth. from the Hastings Court OF
the city of Richmond, the opinions
being written by Judge Whittlc.
The first opinion is on a writ OF
error to a final order of the Hastings
Court denying an application of the
plaintiff to cXonerate a fund on de-
post to the credit of the Chancery
Court In the suit of S. Fl. Halves &
Company against the William r. Trigg
Company. from an alleged
assessment of taxes for 1904. There
had then been no report OF debts, and
the sole question for determination,
according to the opinion. is whether
money arising from a sale of the
debtors personal property at the suit
OF creditors is amenable to taxes be-
fore a report of debts has been made.
The court holds that the power of
taxation is vested solely in the legis-
lative department. and where that
power exists the courts canine In
~terfere on mere questions OF eX-
p%edlency. In the second case it Is
held that the city Of Richmond has
plenary power under the general laws
and its charter to make levies on all
property assessed with State taxes
against persons residing therein. The
validity of the tax SO far as the State
is concerned is su%stained:

The Circuit Court of the city of

The package was delivered TO the
express company at Cunningham. N.

express receipt stated that the COM
pany should not be held liable for
damage unless the claim is made in
thirty days in writing. The shipment
was on July s, 1903, and the express
company was notified of the loss that
month, yet it is conceded that the
notice was not in writing, The opinion
concludes: "Such requirements are

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-If Joseph G.
Cannon persists in his candidacy for
reelection as speaker, as he says he
will do, he will not have the solid sup
port of the Republican delegation from
Illinois in the caucus, and 1T is more
than possible that majority OF the
delegation will be opposed to him.
SIX or moro Illinois members of con
gress have been compelled by their
constituents within the last six weeks
to pledge against Uncle Joe for re-
election TO the speakership. They were
given the choice of giving this pledge
or facing lnsurgent opposition in the
primaries. All of the statesmen who
were served with this ultimatum chose
the former alternative and, as a result
will have the nomination handed to
them on a platter by the grateful Re
publicans of their respective districts,
Practically all of the new Republi
can candidates at tho primaries are run
ming on insurgent platforms, Answers
by them to telegraphic inquiries as to
their position on the speakership show
that they are making political capital
of Uncle Joe's unpopularity.

man of the national Republican con
gressional committee, in reference tc

port Mr.. Cannon for the speakership
