THE STATE BOARD OF AS
SCISSORS ACT.

A bill to repeal tho State Board OF
Assessors' Act passed the Assembly
early in tho session and was referred
in tho Senate to the Committee on
Ways and Means. That Committee
has not yet reported for or against
the bill. Probably this is due to a
press Of other business which re-
quired the attention of the Commit.
tee. 1t is time, however, that the
bill was reported, especially il the
Senate intends to pass it. The re-
peal of the Act may necessitate
changes in the revenue laws OF the
State, and it should be passed and
cent to the Governor at once, so that
the Legislature may have time To
mako those changes il the bill is ap-
proved.
While the Act may have good fsa-
lures and possibly might be amended
90 as to make it acceptable to the
people, there 10 almost a un unanimous
demand for its repeal, and nothing
less than that will satisfy the major
ity. It will not do to smother it in
Committee, and il there is a member
of the Committee who feels it to be
his duty to represent the people and
comply with the wishes of his con-
stituents he will make an effort to
get the bill out Of committee and be-
fore the Senate Immediately.
For como reason there seems to be
90 irrepressible conflict between Of
6cials aud the people on the Board Of
Assessors bill and similar measures.
It is difficult to find a person outside
of the State House who is pot in IA
vor of repeating the bill; yet nearly
all the State officers and several
State Senators are said to be opposed
20 it. 1t is stated, too, as fact that
there are members Of the Legislature
who publicly advocate the repeal Of
the bill but will make no effort to get
the Committee to report it TO the SEN
etc.
10 it possible that the people are
wrong in demanding the repeal Of the
bill and that the State officers and q
few members of the Legislature are
right in desiring to keep it ON the
Statutesf-Reno Journal.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. - Secretary
Gresham is said to be dissatisfied with
the findings of the Bering sea tribunal
in regard to the regulations established,
and it is understood his views are
shared by other cabinet officers. The
regulations are interpreted to mean
that the United States will have en-
tailed on them the cost and worry of
patrolling the Bering sea without bene-
fit to its aealers, while Russia, Japan
and perhaps other nations reap the
harvest. the regulations being binding
only on Great Britain and this country.
1t is not likely that any definite policy
respecting the guardianship Of the sea
will be outlined until the opening of the
first season next year, because the
weather will put an end to the opera
tions of sealers in about two weeks.
The restrictions placed on Healers with
reference to firearins, nets, explosives
and steam vessels, will have the effect,
it is believed, of causing Canadian seal
ers to resort to desperate methods to
secure good catchess and much poaching
ia feared. In the close season durin;
the months Of May, June and July, both
Great Britain and the United States will
be obliged to maintain fleet OF naval
vessels to keep poachers from the seal
ing waters, and it Is believed at the navy
department that this will result in the
establishment of q permanent Bering
sea squadron for during the three months
named. The United States will also be
the Pribylof islands during the entire
mild season from the 1st of April to the
LIST OF September. and it is probable this
duty will be discharged by vessels OF the
revenue marine service.

Minister Blount to Make Verbal
Report
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. - Minister
Blount is expected in Washington soon.
AS the Hawaiian situation stands at
present, the settlement of the annexa"
tion question will depend mainly on
conferences between the president, Secre-
tary Gresham and Minister Blount. In
his report the minister, according to bis
instructions, made no recommendations
onthe vital point at issue, but gave his
opinion as to the relative strength OF
sentiment in the islands with reference
to the question of annexation. To give
the president and Secretary Gresham a
better insight into the condition OF ef-
fairs, that they may be enabled to make
recommendations to congress, Blount
Will give his views verbally, end it is
thought he may supply in an unofficial
way, void OF the possible embarrassment
consequent upon the expression of such
plain opinions in an official document,
much information that will be Of i'm
portance to the executive and the diplo-
matte head of the government. Blount's
statement in San FranciEco. yesterday.
concerning his final report, did not refer
to the main report. That document Wac
mailed from Honolulu some time ago
and is now in possession of the state de-
partment.
