THE HOLLAND COMING.
Submarine Torpedo Boat on Her v
Here,

Submarine Torpedo Boat on Her Wny
Here.
1t was expected that the submarine tor
pedo boat the Holland, which was report
ed to have left New York yesterday, would
have arrived at the navy yard today but
up to O'Clock this afternoon it had not
put in an appearance. i. was stated that
1t had not passed Indian Head, as tele-
phone message was received from there to
that effect. 1t is thought probable, how
ever, the boat will arrive some time late
this afternoon or possibly not before to-
morrow.
1t was declared that the intended visit
of the Holland here is to give a test at
me navy yard, to be witnessed by a num-
Der OF naval of1clalS ana representative
Of the Navy Department. The Holland, 1t
is stated, passed a successful test IN New
YORK recently and came UP TO expectations.
The otnciais al the navy yard are extreme
Iy reuceat regarding the arrival of the
boat. In fact. those of them who should
ave known all about the boat stated posi-
lively that tine first knowledge they had of
the proposed visit to Washington of the
boat was that given by The Star reporter.
1t was learned, however, that they are
anxiously awaiting its coming, and, in fact,
one OF the men said that he had been or
dered to watch out for 1t especially. 1t was
known that it was on its way here and that
eNSS
made to keep it quiet as the Navy Depart
ment does not wish it to leak out that they
were contemplating the purchase of such a
boat.
1t was said that the boat was at the
capes last night, SO that 1t should arrive
here some time late this afternoon or this
evening, II this were the case She makes
ten knots an hour, it is said. 1t is thought
that the government is deeply interested in
the purchase of the boat, and it is consid-
nr,
the part Of the Navy Department.
A ten-inch gun on disappearing car
rtage was taken down to Fort Sheridan
this morning on a scow, and 1t was learned
that this was the last Of the eight guns
which will man that fort. The fitting of
this fortification has been kept exceedingly
quiet. The gun carriages come from Beth
lehem, Pa. Fort Washington is said to be
similarly supplied with eight ten-inch guns
on disappearing carriages
There was telegram awaiting John Hol-
land at the navy yard this morning, show
ing that his arrival was expected soon.

Bureau of American Republics.


Bureau of American Republics.
A meeting Of the executive committee Of
the International Union of American Re
publics was held at the Department of
State this morning to take action as to the
future work Of the bureau Of American re-
publcs
There were present the Secretary of
State, John Sherman; the assistant secre-
tary of state, William r. Day, and Mr..
Romero, the Mexican minister, also rep
resenting the Venezuelan minister, who
was unable to be present.

bureau. prepared from data supplied by
the late director, Mr. Joseph P. Smith, who
died in Florida on the 5th instant, was
submitted and approved.

the bureau and the requirements of the
wcrk for the immediate future was sub
mitted by ethe acting director, Mr.. Fred
eric Emory, who was detailed by the De-
partment Of State, with the approval of
the executive committee, Immediately after

gestions were approved, and the commit
Tee passed resolution appointing him di-

ceed the current fiscal year, ending June

cooperation VITA the executive committee,

MI. Smith. for important work now in
progress might be carried out, ard the bus
mess of the bureau placed on a proper
footing.
Mr.. Emory will retain his position as
chief OF the bureau of foreign commerce in
the Department of State, and 1t is under
stood that the present arrangement will
terminate when the affairs of the bureau

ASSESSMENT OF TAXES.
Inc Local System Explained to N
House Subcommittee

1he assessor of taxes for the District.
hr- Matthew Trinble, appeared before a
subcommittee of the House District COM
mlttee, composed of Messrs. Oden. White
ana CowhcTd, today to explain the methods
OF assessing taxes on property in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
In response to a question as to what
is the basis of assessment. Mr. TrfmhIe
replied that there is nothing in the law
which establishes a standard The rule
III FORMER years was to assess the prop
erty at the estimated price IL would bring
at forced sale under adverse circum-
stances. NOW the board of assessors as
sesses at rate equivalent to 30 or 90 per
cent OF the estimated market value Judg-
ment and discretion were used in determir-
ing this Mr.. Tri.nble said the steam rail
estate.
The capital stock of corporations. he said
Is not assessed on the basis of its par
value, but its market value.
MT. Irlmble said that since 1894 when
the new board of assessors took hold the
assessments upon real estate had been
equitable. Assessments on real estate are
n ade once in three years, and he thought
that was frequently enough.
Mr.. Odell read from a list which had
been furnished him, showing apparent dis
crepancieS between the assessed value of
suburban properties and the price asked
loi tue properties Inc llSt was made UP
in 1888. however, and Mr.. Trimble SAID
there had been an assessment since then.
Moreover, there was wide difference be-
tween the asked price and the selling
price Of this kind Of property.
Referring to the tax on personal property
Mr.. Trfn1ble said that the law was not well
administered, owing to lack Of the proper
machinery.
He had recommended the repeal of the
personal tax law because it was not ap-
piled equitably Only the middle classes
were reached and millions of taxable prop
erty were untouched by the law because the
people would not make the returns The
whole law should be repealed.
Mr.. Trimble said he thought Mr.. Odelrs
new plan for taxing the capital stock OF
street railways, which has been reported
by the District, was a good one, and the
iGea should be extended to all corpora
tions doing business in the District.

purpose of concentrating such purchase
there Is hereby appropriated the sum OF

The resolution was referred to the naval
committee.
Mr.. Bromwell said he introduced the reso-
luton to call the attention Of the naval
committee to the necessity for providing

priation bill. If the. committee doss not in
clude such a provision in the bill when 1t is
reported he will offer it as an amendment
in the House.
