in the land to-day, and he proposes
that his condition shall be kept up

L am personally acquainted with many
of them, and | know they are high
minded, honorable men who seek to
do their duty under the law, as con-
scientiously as any state or county

sworn into Office, that they can not
assess property at its true value with
out doing great injustice to the peo-
pie who elected them, and, moreover,
that the universally accepted con-
struction of the law is, and has been
for years, that "true value in money"

If all of the assessors in the State
understand that every species of
property is to be assessed at a GER
tain per cent. of its true value in
money as ascertained from the last
cash sales of similar property in the
ghborhood where located, and all
adhere to that basis, the last and
most difficult problem in our reven ue
system has been solved and there
will be no longer ground for COM
plant that any particular class OF
property is made to bear more than
its just share of taxation. If the per
cent. of valuation should be 100 (as
fixed by law instead of having one
thousand millions of taxable prop
erty, as is now the case, we would
have about three thousand millions,
and the levy for state, municipal,
road and school taxes could and
] would be reduced to one-third the
present rate. Then there would be
much less incentive and no possible
excuse for tax lodging. 1t wouldn't
pay to send bonds, money, etc, to
New York, or to procure greenbacks
for gold and silver ON the last day OF
May each year. People with money
bonds and notes would have no ex'
cuse for not listing this class of prop
erty, and many millions would bt
ladded from that source, alone. AS II
is now, with lands, horses, cattle, etc.
assessed at 35 or 40 per cent, ano
money, bonds and notes at face
value, the holder of the latter kind o
property feels justified in emitting j
from his list, and often does so, an
informed. 1t matters not what pei
cent. of actual value property may be
assessed at for taxation, so it is uni
form on all kinds of property, through
out every part of the State. The re
suit would be exactly the same. Th
greater the valuation the smaller tn
tax rate. The smaller the valuation
the larger the tax rate.

| DaNBURY LABOR TROUBLES.
Hat Manufacturers Now Said to Want
Compromise.

! DANRuRY, Conn, Jan. 10.-The most
surprising development of the week in
the lockout situation is news that th>
members of the hat manufacturers asso-
citation are seeking to bring about a set
tlement of the labor difficulties, and are
endeavoring to arrange conference with
labor leaders or representative hatters,
with view to adjusting matters. The
manufacturers for some days past have
been receiving a large number of orders,
which they are unable to fill, and they
must get to work Immediately to come in
for a share of the spring trade. 1t is well
known that the locked out men will make
many concessions to bring about settle
ment. but since they discharged their en-
ploves the manufacturers have refused to
receive any overtures from the labor lead
ers It is believed that the manufacture
ers. in an endeavor to effect compromise,
will make a proposition to the union hat
ters, asking that a certain number of their
factories be allowed to run independently,
while the others shall remain union shops
or the way they were before the lockout.
This move will be made at once, and if it
fails the manufacturers will carry out
their plans for moving or getting their
work done elsewhere, arrangements for
which many have completed. Owing to
the popularity of hat manufacturing some
factories can be run to the better advan-
tage of the manufacturers under union
rules than by independent methods, and
herein lies the Willingness of the manu-
facturers to try to effect a compromise
on this basis.

ST. NICHOLAS BANK.
Troublesome Depositors Want Their
Money Rctnrned.

New YORK, Jan. l0.-Serious complca-
tions have arisen since ex-Mayor Grant
became the receiver of the st. Nicholas
bank, some of which came up before JUS
tice Lawrence in the supreme court On
the day of the failure of the bank and the
day prior thereto number of depositors
deposited money and checks and others
left drafts and bills OF exchange for col
lection at the bank. These people, repre-
senting money aggregating nearly $780,
900, insist that they are entitled to the re-
turn of their money and drafts, some of
them alleging, that at the time of the
making of the deposits the bank was in
solvent and known to be so by the officials
of the bank. A number of lawyers repre-
sented these creditors of the bank and
John NJ. Bowers appeared for receiver
Grant. The instruction of the court was
asked in reference to the matter, but as
the receivers counsel was not prepared to
present the facts, all but one of the mo-
tions were postponed until next week.
Justice Lawrance was opposed to all
these matters being thrown upon the
court for settlement, and he declared that
the receiver should assume some of the
responsibility himself and not place it
upon the court. The receiver was in
charge of the affairs of the bank and he
should act according to his own judg.

Consolidated and old Colony.

BOSTON, Jan. 10.-The New York. New

acquired all but about 200 of the outstand-
ing shares of the Old Colony steamboat
company, and is bidding 225 for the bal
ance through the Old Colony trust com
pany. The railroad commissioners re
Gently refused the petition of the Old Col
ony road to consolidate with the steamboat
company on the basis of four shares of the
former to three of the latter. There were
2,327 shares outside the Old Colony rail
road treasury. The steamb boat stock in
the Old Colony treasury by the report of
June 80, 1898, was 1857, 800, or about three
quarters of all. The stock acquired now
is that held by individuals. Control of the
Old Colony stock would be essential to
control of the steamboat stock. The New
Haven company controls neither abso-
lutely, but the lease practically assures
control for the purposes of operation.

DOLE FEARS FORCE.
Ee Believes Willis Has Auth ,rity In
Cali on the War Shin.

VICTORIA, b. c., Jan. 10.-Additiona al
Honolulu advices received by the United
Press by the steamer Warrimoo in refer
ring to the meeting of Minister Willis
with the provisional government say that
President Dole summoned the advisory
council to meet the executive at 3 o'clock
on Dec. 10. The nature of Mr.. Willis'
communication remained unknown to the
public, although they had no doubt of its
tenor.
At o'clock members of the council
came stringing down Merchant street into
Fort street and made known the fact of
the demand for the queens restoration
and that the general tenor of the reply
had been agreed upon and that it was to
be prepared with deliberation.
Many questions were asked and few an
swered 1t was very noticeable that no
one was heard to ask whether the govern
ment would refuse or not That went
without saying.
1t was learned that no intlmation was
given whether the military or naval force
would be employed to force the demands

Since his arrival from the United
States Minister Thurston has been busily
comforting with his government. He
stated that he had only one object in his
visit home, and that was to put himself
in complete touch with his government.
Both Thurston and Armstrong as well
as Editor Castle, believe Willis has never
been authorized to employ force in re-
storing the queen, deriving their impress
sions from the belief in Washington. On
the contrary, President Dole expresses a
strong conviction that Minister Willis
has authority to employ the naval forces
for that purpose. The impression is de-
rived from Wiliis's language and deport-
ment and the confident assertions of the
royalists support this belief. His en-
phatic assertions to the American league
of possessing executive functions imply
power to enforce his action His decara-
tion of an intention to suppress disorder
by naval forces implied the same
Whether he had such authority or not,
everyone understood him to imply that he

CONTRACT LABOR laws
Steamship Companies APP
peal to the Government.
Effort to Punish Parties Who Cause
u UPaupcr Immigrants to Come to the
united States-Request for Vigor-
GUS Enforcement of the Law.

W AsiIINGToN, Jan. 1O.-A variety of
complications have arisen in the execu-
tioh OF the contract labor laws and in re-
gard TO the deportation of undesirable
immigrants, so that the TRANSFORMATION
INES nave deemed it necessary to apply to
Ine secretary of the treasury for a more
definite ruling affecting the powers and
duties OF the parties in interest
On this subject the secretary of the
treasury has received from Glevis and
Jingle, counsel for some of the principal
transatlantic steamship lines, letter
urging that the parties who cause immi-
grants to come to the United States under
promise of work, be prosecuted under the
law, which imposes fine of 81 600 for
every o!fense, and that the alleged con-
tract laborer be held as witness against
the employer. The counsel allege that in
the eagerness of the inspectors appointed
under the alien contract labor law to de-
port alien immigrants the government is
deprived of testimony essential to the
would-be employers conviction or even to
the institution of proceedings against
him. The communication cites specific
cases to establish this point.
1t is alleged that the inspectors fire.
quently obtain from the immigrants in
eliminating admissions which are used as
evidence to debar their landing, and that
man is thus tried, convicted, sentenced
and the sentenced executed by the same
officers, upon the testimony of the ac-
cused drawn from him by artful questions
by his accusers and judges. Also that
such methods of administering a quasi
criminal law would not be tolerated by
the courts, and is repuguant alike to our
institutions, and to our American sense
of Justice In contrast to this it is pointed
out that the Chinaman is accorded judi
cial hearing when arrested in the act of
coming into the United States.
A revision Of the regulations is urged
so as to insure full, free and thorough
inquiry into the facts in each case, and
the vigorous prosecution of all violators
of the law without discrimination.
1t is also requested that the transporta-
ton companies be at least permitted an
appeal to the department whenever they
deem an order requiring them to return
an immigrant to be based upon error or
misconception.

Further Investigation.

The subcommittee of the senate foreign
relations committee investigating Ha-
waiian affairs held short session of one
hour owing to the fact that this was the
regular meeting day of the committee.
But one witness, Lieut.. Charles Laird, of
the Boston, was examined. Lieut.. Laird
detailed what he knew of the landing of
the troops and the scenes he witnessed,
his position as one Of the officers in charge
of one of the landing companies giving
him ample facilities for witnessing all
that occurred. 1t is said that this officer
in common with those who had preceded
him, testified that the troops of the
United States took no part in the revolu-
tion and were given special orders that
their whole duty was to protect the lives
and property of American citizens.
