THERTY-FlYE WENT DOWN.
Steamer Diament Lost.

BASTON, Mass, Feb. 21.-The German tank
steamer Diamant, Capt. Wischausen and
thirty-fve men were probably lost with all
hands, 2S0 miles southeast of Halifax, Feb.
II, or else she has been drifting at the mercy
of the elements ever since. Such is the opin-
ion Of Capt. Forth, of the Furniss line steam
er Calico, which reached this port today
from London. Capt. Forth attempted to tow
the Diamant and to save her crew. but the
hawser parted and the tank steamer disap-
peared from view SO quickly that it is be-
Eeved that she went down.
Capt. Forth says he sighted the tank
steamer Feb. 10. showing signals of distress,
having lost her propeller. The steamer was
taken in tow, but the next day she broke
away. This was repeated until the 18th.
when she disappeared altogether.
The Calico had towed the Diamant 6G0
miles Capt. Forth cruised around nearly all
day, but saw no trace Of the steamer, and
so resumed his course. While he believes
the Diamant has foundered, Capt. Forth

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 21.-Gov.
Bushnell tonight gave out the follow
ing statement to the press:
1T had been my intention to make
no announcement in relation to the
action L would take in the matter of
an appointment to fill the prospective
vacancy in the Ohio representation in
the United States senate until the
vacancy actually existed. But, on ac-
count of the manifest interest of the
people and their desire to know what
will be done, l deem is best now to
make the following statement:
when Senator Sherman resigns to enter
the cabinet Of President Mckinley l will ap-
point to succeed him Hon. Marcus A. Hanna
of Cuyahoga county, to serve until his sue
cession is chosen by the Seventy-third gen.
eral assembly of the state. l trust this ac-
tion will meet with the approval of the peo-
pie. Asa S. Bushnell"

sistants no provision is made in the
law, and that the county commissioners
as individuals have distributed money
in this department without the sane
tion Of the remainder Of the board. The
payment by the board something over
year ago of about 5000 to Fred Davis,
then county surveyor, as fees for the
subdivision of towns under the law
afterward declared unconstitutional. is
censured and the county is advised to
bring a civil suit against Davis and
the members of the board Of county
commissioners that allowed the bills
and their bOndsmen, to recover the
amount of the payments made It is
claimed that not only were the bills
declared illegal by the district and su-
preme court but that they were padded,
and that they were paid by the COM
missioners after the courts had decided
that Davis had no claim against the
county, without any investigation as
to their correctness. 1t is also charged
that a former board of county COM
missioners expended on an addition to
the court house over twice what the
work was worth, and while nothing spe-
cific enough to warrant the bringing Of
indictments in connection with this
transaction was found, it is severely
cenSured The commissioners are crit
iC;sed for building an extensive NOR
tuary vault at the poor farm, and the
expression is used, that they are TAX
ing greater care Of the dead than Of
the living
Several other matters are covered in
the report, and as twenty-five indict-
ments which have not been made pub
lie were submitted with it, some sensa-
tional developments are anticipated. 1t
is rumored that ten of the indictments
are for gamblers who have been run
ming rooms in the city of Duluth.

SNOW SLIDES IN COLORADO.
Many Fatalities Result.

DENVER, Col, Feb. 21.-The week
just passed has witnessed the heaviest
snowfall and the greatest number of
snow slides in the mountainous portion
of Colorado since 1884, according to ad-
vices from many points. There have
been many fatalities, numberless mar
row escapes and several persons have
been reported missing
A dispatch from Breckenridge says:
Mr.. Conway left Dillon with a pack
train for Collier Mountain last Friday.
Today news was received that he had
been overwhelmed by a slide which
buried his entire train. A party left

says: The Greek government has de-
cided to send part Of the fleet on a
cruise along the Sporades Islands
while another portion of the fleet will
proceed by Ambracia to prevent the
Turks attacking the Greek frontier
from Prevsa. Troops from all parts
of Greece are hurrying to the Turkish
frontier The call for naval volun-
teers has been more than amply
answered. The policy of Greece will be
defensive by land, but aggressive by
sea.
dispatch to the Chronicle from
Athens says: The night that Fort
Voukolies fell Col. Vassos learned that
the Turkish garrison from Canea was
advancing to succor the defeated Turks
He dispatched a body of insurgents to
meet them and speedily followed him
self with his troops. In the plain off
Livadia, 1900 Turks and $500 Turk
ish Cretans with guns engaged in bat
tie. The Cretan insurgents and the
Greeks deployed, and after ninety min
utes' fighting swept the plain, forcing
the Turks to take refuge in Canea. Col.
Vassos burned the fortified barracks at
Livadia and the Aghia blockhouse. The
Greeks lost four sublieutenants killed
and twenty officers and men wounded.
The Turkish losses are unknown. In
obedience to the orders of the king of
Greece, Col. Vassos recalled the troops
to Platania.

President Barker Orders Property Assensea nc
lts Fall Market value.
President Barker of the Tax Department do
livered yesterday the usual instructions to the
deputy commissioners who have started on tho
work Of assessing property for the next tax levy.
He advised them that 1t Is their duty to assess
oil property at what Is. in their Judgment, its
full market value. In regard to mortgages.
President Barker advised the deputies to assess
them at their full value, as q foundation on
which TO establish q fixed assessment for the
future. In conclusion he said:
We feel II our duty to call your attention to
the fact that there are in this city persons who
make n business OF undertaking the reduction
OF assessments; they issue and spread broadcast
circulars claiming that, by possessing special
facilities and years OF experience, they are en-
Rbled to render services with the view OF obtain
ing u reduction of assessments on property, both
against these people. They offer 10 sell what
they represent to be- their influence and power
in the department to reduce assessments. They
barter and sell your reputation. and we warn
you against them. 1t Is our determination to
continue TO follow, and. IL possible. 10 expose
and eNterminate then."
Corporation Counsel Scott has determined to
fight the action OF the State Board OF EqualiEa.
ton in adding nearly $50. oo0 900 to the assess
ment rolls Of this city for state tax purposes,
He has assigned Assistant Corporation Counsel
Ward to tho case and the latter will apply to the
Supreme Court In a few days for a writ OF certio
rari to review the action OF the Equalization
Board.
