medical qualities it is all
that is claimed for it, and as
il refreshing and pleasant
beverage it has a decided pop

THE WAR IN CHILLI.
There Are No signs That IL IL APP
preaching the End.

LONDON, Feb. 2O.-An official dispatch
received at the Chlian legation here to-
day from Santiag, de Chill, the capital OF
the Chiian republic, states that the revo-
luton is confined to the rebel squadron
and to the troops at Tarahaca. This
dispatch adls that the greater part of
Chill is quiet and that the regular troops
and the national guard are supporting
the government.
The accuracy OF this news is doubted
among commercial firms in this city,
having large Chlian connection. Private
advices received by these firms from their
correspondents i'll different parts of Chill
indicate that a prolonged struggle is
probable between Tie government forces
and the insurgents.

HUSTLING THE BOOKS,
Frank Cases Scheme for Completing
the City Assessments.
PUSHING THE COUNTY ASSESSORS.
Returns to Be Sent to City Hall as Fast as
They Are Brought in.
IT BREAKS UP MANY OF THE SOFT SNAPS

Chief City Assessor Frank Case had a
conference with the County Commissioners
yesterday to make arrangements for the
quick delivery of the county assessment
books as they are returned by the county
assessors. The latter are allowed pay for
the number of days thev are employed, and
it has frequently been charged that many
OF them hold back their repor gts, workin
ouly two or three hours a day on the assess
ment, in order to get in as many DAYS as
possible. Every year there is more or less
complaint from the Commissioners because
come of the county assessors report from 80
10 go days spent in taking the assessment of
their districts, when the work could easily
have been done in half the time if the as
SCISSORS had worked full days.
This delay of county assessors in making
their returns is a great drawback to the
Board of Assessors in the cities, because the
Jaw compels them to report TO Councils at
the first meeting in January each wear
the assessable valuation of .he property
within the city limits so that the tax rate
can be liked for the appropriation ordinance.
II he county assessors hold back their re-
turns until January ! or later as is fire.
quenJlv the case, the Board of Assessors are
compelled to make their report largely from
their own figures. The Board always pre-
pares Its own assessment and has it now
practically ready, but it will not be ready
for making public until the county books
are ina comparison made and the differences
existing between the two adjusted
Ia order that the board will have all the
time possible to make this comparison the
Commissioners have agreed to let them have
the county assessors books as rapidly as
they are returned. Some of the energetic
assessors are expected to make their returns
during the next week, and thenceforward
until the reports are all in they will be sent
down TO the city assessors

cONvICTs TO BE RETURNED.
The Governor of Tennessee Declares That
Thy Must Work the Mines.

y
NASHVILLE, TENN, Nov. S0-''The
convicts shall be returned to the mines if it
takes every able-bodied man in the State to
do it, said Governor Buchanan last night.
Although the Governor was reticent, from
other sources information was gathered con-
cerning the matter. The lessees have made
demand upon the State for the convicts..
This demand was answered promptly that
when the convicts had been captured they
would be returned, if supplied with suf-
nclent guard and proper quarters. The
will take about two weeks.
The question of the guard required not
little consideration. 1t comes pretty
straight that the present intention is to pro-
vide about so men each for Briceville and
Coal Creek and 100 men for Oliver Springs.
All these will be in the pay of the lessees.
Twenty-Five at each place, it is thought, will
be militiamen deputized to do guard duty.
In regard to this last feature Governor
Buchanan wired General S. T. Carnes, of
Memphis, Brigadier General of the Tennes-
see militia, to come to Nashville. The two
were in consultation all the forenoon. A
veil OF secrecy was thrown around the re-
suit reached, but it may be taken as reli-
able that the plans given above were not
changed. The guard will not be from the
existing companies of the State. The men
will enlist for the purpose. About 300 of
the 452 released convicts have been recap
tured.
