PRESCOTT DECLARES THE STRIKE ILLEGAL

Chicago, July 6.-President Prescott of the International Typographical union who came from Indianapolis to make an inves- tigation decided that the strike of the stereotypers employed on the Chicago newspapers was illegal and they should have adhered to their contract. As the Stereotypers union is subordinate to the Typographical upion this decision opened the way to the newspapers to resume pub lication. Accordingly all of the morning papers were issued today, but reduced in size, only four pages, the stereotype plates having been made by non-union men. The afternoon papers also appeared in the same form, having engaged new men.
 Tomorrow the size of all the papers will be doubled and it-is expected that by Fri day the usual number of pages can be gotten out. As the newspaper. publishers have agreed not to have anything to do with the Stereotypers union hereafter, the 200 men who struck last Friday night will have difficulty in finding work in Chicago, as many non-union stereotypers from other cites have come here, and more are said to be on their way.

Special Dispatch to the Age-Herald.

Speclai OlSpdlcn tO lno <ASS-AiSldi diu'
 Montgomery, July 6.-Assistant Exam iner Foster has filed with the governor his reports in the books of the tax collector and assessor of Blount county.
 Tax Collector Hood is found by the re- port to be due the state and county $411.6S. Examiner Fosters report is as follows:
 q find that by errors in the addition of the assessment of 1896 and by omission from the recapitulation of said assessment, MT Hood was not charged with the taxes of a valuation of ninety-five hundred dollars, and on this account he is due the state the sum of sixty dollars and sixty-four cents and to the county the sum of sixty dollars and sixty-four cents, commissions having been deducted and interest to date added.
 .'I further find that in 1887 he was erron- eously allowed credit on his error list for that year for a supposed error in the ao- stract, furnished the auditor by the ]udee of probate. l also note that the charge against him in the auditors office Tor the assessment of Assessors Escapes for lS9I is not correct, and on account Of the aboVe items he is due the state the sum Of one hundred and seventy-two dollars and the county the sum of a hundred and eighteen dollars. All of the above is fully set out in Exhibit A hereto attached, and made part of this report"
 MT. Hood states under oath, relative to the above, in substance as follows;
 '.I paid both the state and county all that was charged to me, and thought this was all I owed. As to the item of credit allow ed me on the error list of 1897 and pointed out in this examination. I was informed by the tax assessor that this item was an error against me, hence I asked credit for it.'
 Tha Tax AsG
 Following is MT Fosters report on the books of Assessor Martin:
 ''I find many errors in the assessment book of 1897, pro and con, yet the final sum up of this years assessment is correct. The general make up is very poor, but l am glad to note that the book of 1898 Is very much better in every respect.
 "All of his work shows numerous made quate descriptions, both as to lands and town lots
 "I examined a number of tax payers, un- der oath, as to whether they were sworn when listing their property. This evidence shows that MT. Martin has been very care full in the performance of this duty.
 MT. Martin states, under oath, that he has made every effort to get good descrip- lions, but often finds it impossible to se- cure them"
