OTTAWA , March 9 Groit Interest

question WBB asked , "Where is the

misunderstanding aa to when thu
storm would begin. "This" ho added ,
"ia no fault of mine , for In my alman

occurred on the By of Bengal , and a
tremendous storm must now be raging
over India. If the theory of an oppo

always dlaputed it , then a tidal wave
will occur on the Golf of Mexico to

president , after expressing the high
sonaa , signal ability , fidelity and suc

Silos W. Bart has discharged the
duties of naval officer of the port of
New York , adopted the following :
"IlESOLVED , That the removal of

ing on his part great and unnecessary
personal sacrifice , might have been re

HKSOLVED , That in view of the no

T1IU u'dAIUUlIAN CLAIM.
Thb secretary of the interior , upon
ao application of General Eppa nun-
on and Colonel VL L. Wood , counsel
or William McGftrrahnn , directed the
ommlsaloner of the general laud of-
ice to certify to him the procoodlnga Iu

ho MoGarrahan claim , with an order
o suspend further proceedings until
, ho matter shall bo passed upon by
, ho Bocrotary. The commiaslonor had
llsmlssed the appeal taken by McGar-
ahan , but the action of the secretary
under the rules of the dopattment ,
brings up the who'o ' matter for review
by the secrotniy on llo nnvits.
Al'OLOQY TO TIIK I'L'.O.
Secretary Fruliu hujnon hao learned
from the consul nt 0 iraau tliat imme
diately after the Vnbnsh woo fired
upon ho called upon the governor la
relation to the matter aad found that
ho had already begun nn Investigation
as to the firing and the regulations by
which it became possible. TLii was
conducted by the attorney general and
the offense was found to bo due to tho-
old regulation of the titno of slavery
and passports and to the fault of the <
police who had not immediately prc-
sentod the Valencia's fort pass to the
military guard. The responsible offi
cer of the police has been punished and
the regulation changed to tfmfc firing
a shot by the fort la now prohibited.
The governor has expressed regret for
the occurrence.
BANK TAXES.
The question as to when the tax on
the capital and deposits of banks , and
bankers and natioual banking associa
tions will cease nnder the operation of
the act of March 3 to roducs Internal
taxation , has not yet boon decided.
No decision will bo made on this ques
tion until a case arises , The statement
that an opinion has boon requested
from the attorney general Is incorrect.
It Is the opinion of curtain officers of
the treasury department that under
section 13 ( which proscribes that the
repeal of the existing lawa enumerated
la this act shall not affect any right
accrued or accruing ) It will probably
bo hold that such taxes must bo levied
for the period ending March 3 , the
data of the passage of the act. Unless
this ruling ehall prevail , national
banks will have to pay tuxes on capi
tal and deposits to January 1 , and
and ether banks and bankers to De
cember 1 , giving tbo latter an advan
tage of ono month's taxes.

brlnii it to nn end , declaring petitions

n piled at length , assorting that the
petitions justified the orders. They
represented the will of the people.
"What people ? " enquired the
court
Ingorsoll ( holding np the peti
tion ) The persona who signed thla
petition.
The court ( contemptuously ) Oh.
Ingoraoll assorted every signer waa
entitled to as much consideration as if
he had boon president ot the United
Spates. That waa hla Idea of the re
public.
The court replied that thla thing of
calling a law mooting the voice of the
people waa doing injustice to the
phase ,
Merriok tuld eo might the voice of
the defendants have boon called the
voice of the people when they asked
their aharo in the distribution of the
