tributed.
The following appeared i'm yester-
day mornings Union:
The question. "Why is it that my
taxes are higher this year than last
year?" is frequently being asked of
Assessor j. H. Cleland. and that gem
tleman. in referring To this fact. gave
n representative of the Unioa some
figures which will enable property
owners to answer this query for
themselves. To illustrate: AS prop
erty in 1898 was assessed nj 81. $50,
while for 1894 the assessment is $4,-
900. The property holder looking at
these figures naturally would expect
a reduction in his taxes, but here
the state board of equalization inter-
venes. For 1898 the board made
reduction of so per cent on the as
sessed valuation. and for 1894 cut Off
only 20 per cent, leaving the equal
lied valuation of the property $2.9o5
and 81. 200 for the two years respec-
lively, and Mr.. A. has S27.7s more
taxes to pay this year than last, the
rate for the two Years being S7.6
and 1871 per 800.
Regarding these assertions as rath-
er peculiar, an AEGrs representative
called upon NJ. NJ. Sturgeon. men,
her of the state board Of cqualiza-
ton. this morning. 10 ascertain the
facts. and Mr.. Sturgeon simply re-
ferred the reporter to the records in
his possession. 1T is not within the
province OF the state board of equal
ization TO assess" said Mr.. Sturgeon.
Its duty is to correct any errors
that NAV have been made in assess
ment and To equal;zc assessments.
lie then referred the reporter to the
figures, which show that the entire as
sessment Of 1898 OF all property in
the county over 1892. was Sl31,561.
and further that in the city of Rock
Island alone. where Mr.. Cleland is
; assessor. the increased assessment OF
city and town lots in 1898 over 1892,
was $780, ESQ, making the increased
assessment of the present assessor on
city lots alone in Rock Island. ex.
coed the increase of the county on al

To move indiScriminatclv in a

Rock Island must suffer for the act:

that Rock Island property assess

BISHOP sPALOiNG SPEAKS
The Head Of This Catholic Diocese in
Rome.

A newspaper representative has
had an interview in Rome with Bish-
op Spalding. of Peoria. the head of
the Roman Catholic church in this
diocese, who recently visited the
pope. Bishop SpaldIng stated that
he had heard absolutely nothing
either at the vatican or elsewhere to
give the slightest color To the re-
ports that Mgr. Satolli was shortly
to be recalled. That Mgr. Satolli
will not remain permanently in the
United States" continued the bishop,
lis certain: rs is also his elevation
to cardinalatc ere long. but it is
well known that the pope has ey-
pressed his satisfaction with the
manner in which Mgr. Satolli ac-
quilted himself of the mission en-
trusted TO him. and l have no reason
to suppose his holiness has any de-
sire to recall him ut short notice.
My impression is that majority of
the North American Catholics have
not regarded the presence of the
apostolic delegation favorably, and
do not. moreover, believe that the
interests of the Catholic church will
in any sense be advanced thereby
..Do you believe the pope will see
fit to intervene in the school q ues-
ton at any future time??"
Tine Baltimore Convention.
His holiness laid a definite pro-
nouncement in ordaining that the res
olutions of the Baltimore congress
are to be acted upon, and this declar
alton must suffice. especially in view
of the facts that the resolutions are
respected by the American clerg,
and episcopacy."
HAS the pope to your knowledg,
or belief, made anv declaration will
respect to the two Catholic univcrsi
ties at Washington"
His holiness had no reason I,
make any procurement on th'
subject, seeing that no real conflic
exists between the two universities
In the course of hisremarks Bishol
Spalding said he intended to remain
some weeks longer in Rome.

Few Freight Trains sent From Oakland
and sacramento.

SAN Francisco, July ls.-The strikers
view of the railroad situation in Northern
California was tersely given today by one
of the strikers lea ers in Oakland. I'm
der ordinary conditions be said. ''eigh-
teen or twenty freight trains are dis
patched from Oakland daily. During the
past few days the road has sent out five
freight trains. Ii this is running the road
then We are beaten" 1t is apparently a
scarcity of competent trainmen that is
troubling the railroad officials. In Sacra-
mento almost the same conditiom prevails.
One hundred and fifty workmen were in
dueed to 20 back into the shops there this
morning. Tue methods prevailing IN oak
land we're adopted aud the men were es~
corted to and from the shops by troop Of
cavalry The strikers made no attempt TO
interfere.
Evidence was afforded today that the
railroad company has still TO guard
against violence and treaehery. This
morning a track walker just west Of Sacra-
mento discovered that the hshplatss had
been removed from over 100 yards Of track
Strikers were seen in the vicinity last
night. It Is believed there has been an
attempt 20 wreck the San Francisco Iocsf
train. which left Sacramento at q o'clock
today. II is also reported that violence Is
feared at Truckee. where she strikers are
in ugly mood. Fearing trouble there. Col.
Graham dispatched the First infantry to-
dsy under command Of Col SuIHvan and
ordered him TO cooperate with the other
troops of the state militia now AZ 1ruckee
in preserving order. The troops lefs saers-
mento on the east-bound overland.
f-ts5n IN akf0n of kunr
and worden. the strikers who are accused
Of murder In having wrecked q train and
caused the disaster west Of Sacramento a
week ago. began at Woodiapd today. This
afforded the strikers another oppor-
tunity 10 cripple the Southern Pacific.
The strikers attorney summoned as
witnesses two sgitchmen who were
the only men remaining ia the eacra-
mento yards. Their going compelled the
company 20 abandon several trains out Of
Sacramento.
