The Assessment Problem.

If the state board of equaliza-
ton has any such power as that
attributed to it by the assistant
attorney general it ought at once
to proceed to exercise it, and to
fix the valuation all over the state
at reasonable figure which will
be the same in all the counties.
If the state board has not that
power, then the case is almost a
hopeless one, for to call the legis-
lature together in extra session is
far more likely to aggravate the
evil than to cure it. Colorado

The water has been flowing from
the pipe line from the tunnel at
Newlin creek for several hours in
to the huge steel standpipe, and at
this writing it is practically filled.
The standpipe is fifty feet in di-
ameter and thirty feet high and
its estimated capacity nearly 46O,-
600 gallons There is no evidence
of a strain at any point and En-
gineer Phillips is well pleased with
the initial test. OF course there
are few places that may require
calking, but not many.

GREAT FIRE IN COLUMBIA
Opera House Destroyed and Gen.
trail Bank In Danger--Loss Esti-
mated at S8O,OOO-Insurance,
$4,000.
Special To The Daily News.

Special to The Daily News.
Columbia, March 30.-The city
operahouse, the most conspicuous
building in the city, with three
stories and tower, was burned
tonight. 1t is in ruins, the walls
having collapsed, and is total
loss.
The operahouse and the city
Offices were on the second foor,
and there were stores and Offices
on the ground floor beneath. Nc
Kay's large grocery establishment
was in the corner store.
The loss on opera house build
ing, scenery, ETC., city Offices and
books and supplies and McKay's
grocery are estimated at a total
of $4,000. The insurance is
about 100000. The heaviest loss
will fall on the city, which owned
the building.
A desperate fight was required
to save the Carolina National
Bank building, next door, occu-
pied by the bank and the Wes-
tern Union telegraph office. This
building was saved, but the tel
egraph office was gutted.
Telegraphic communication is
cut of. This is sent by the cour-
iesy of the Southern Railway
company which allows the use of
its lines.
The electric light wires are also
down and all the lights in the
city are out.
There is no further danger now
of spread of the fire, which is the
worst Columbia has had since the
surrender in 1865 and has caused
excitement and alarm throughout
the city.

That Bad, Bad Beef |!

CommlSsaTV General EaSan
seems to be in trouble again. He
was recalled Wednesday to ap
pear before the court of inquiry,
Washington, ID. G.. While his tes
timonv was not startling, she
modified n former statement to
the effect that the twenty-four
hour clause i'm the beef contract
had crept in as a clerical error,
saying that in the multitude of
matters which had been demand.
ing his attention at the time he
had forgotten its insertion. His
understanding was that the beef
was to keep in good condition
seventy-two hours after being
taken from the ships refrigerator.
His principal reason for insert
ing the clause stipulating that
the beef should be good twenty.
four hours after leaving the re.
frigerator was that he did not
wish the troops to know that the
contract called for beef that
would keep seventy two hours
for fear that it would not keep so
long"
From the evidence given Gen.
Ea2an seems to be, TO certain
extent, to blame. Out of the 21,-
600 pounds of canned roast beef
brought to Porto Rico on the
steamer, Manitoba, and receipted
for. 5000 pounds were condem ned
as unfit for use. In his testimony
Major Black says:
IL called upon Gen. Eagan to
confer. with him concerning the
conduct Of our affairs at Ponce.
He asked me why the refrigerator
beef was not issued at Ponce, and
| replied that it was because the
issue commissaries did not want
it, as they were getting native
beef. Thereupon General Eagan
became very much excited, and
exclaimed God damn them,
they have no right to refuse it. |
consider it the best beef in the
United States, and, God damn
them, | have made them take it,"
This is a bad state of affairs
While the people of the United
States were being taxed to pay the
expenses of this war the men who
volunteered were being fed on
rotten beef. When complaint was
made, they were told with an oath
that this beef had to be used.
Those who have to bear the bur.
den Of this expense do rot
expect tb9 men who vol.
unteered to be treated in this
manner.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Notable gains were
recorded in the specialties and some of the
railways today. The announcements of gold
engagements of $1,000, coo overcame the re-
