Feb. 12.—The Michi gan supreme court today handed down an opinion affirming the judgment of the Wayne county circuit bench that franchises are taxable. The decision was in the case of what is now the Detroit United Railway com pany, the corporate name of the con solidated street railway systems of the city, against the common council of De troit. Last year the council increased the assessment of the railway company from 82,600,000 to $8,142,100, on the as sumption that its franchises were tax able. The circuit court affirmed the coun cil’s action and the case was then car ried to the supreme court. The railway company applied for a mandamus to compel the common coun cil to strike from tbe assessment rolls the sums alleged to represent the value placed on the company’s franchise. The supreme court, in denying the applica tion, declared the propriety of treating aggregations of property as a unit is as natural and proper for the purpose of assessment as for the purpose of sale, especially where the various elements are so essential to the purpose for which they are combined that the withdrawal would impair the use of or destroy all for the purposes to which in their new form they are adapted. The mandamus asked for to compel the striking of the assessment from the rolls was denied. QUIET RESTORED IN SPAIN Disorder Caused by the Zealousy of the Priesthood.

No tify law-breakers that all violations must immediately cease and that their illicit fixtures and goods mast be re moved from the state forthwith.
