ST. LOUIS GRAND JURY.
4 Number Of Change. Made Against city
OmciHI.-Trc House Of Delegates Ar
raigned for Want of Light.

St. Louis, March 27-The February
grand jury, which submitted its re-
port to Judge Fisher yesterday, hand
ed down one Indictment, which has
not yet been made public, and made
II number of charges against city Off
cials and recommendation in regard
to them and their offices. Among
other things the jury recommends
the removal from Office of Supply
Commissioner Frederick c. Meier, and
that proceedings be instituted to re-
cover money said TO have been di-
vcrted through his alleged msman-
agemcLt, An cmploye in the supply
commissioners department was in
dicted for fraud. The house of dele
oates is arragrcd for its failure to
pass lighting bills and provide the
city Institutions with light. A COM
bination among the members of the
house, the jury declares, existed for
the purpose of controlling legislation.
The report further declares that the
failure to suppress crime is due to the
lack of cooperation between the po-
lice department and police courts.

AN EXCITING TINE.
A Vehement Argument Brt ween Opposing
Counsel in tine Powers case Causes IA
Stampede Among spectators

Frankfort, Ky, March 27.-The most
thrilling event of the examining trial
of republican Secretary of State
Caleb Powers occurred yesterday aft
ernoon shorty before three o'clock
and for a few minutes il looked as if
serious trouble could not be prevent
ed. Judge George Denny, for the de-
PENDANT, in an argument upon the
competency of question, said: ut
is perfectly lawful for people to come
here and to come armed. ! came
here several times myself" lie was
referring to the crowd that was pres
ent at the mass meeting held in the
statehouse yard just prior to Gov.
Goebers assassination.
Col. Campbell for the prosecution
replied that he did not consider it
lawful and was surprised to know that
Mr.. Denny had come here armed.
Denny denied having made such
statement and said that he did not
come armed. Campbell insisted that
he had made the statement. Both
men were very much excited and spoke
with vehemence and with arms shall-
ing commenced to advance toward
each other. The court room was
crowded and the audience evidently
thought a fight was on, and made n
mad rush for the doors and windows,
people falling over each other in their
wild efforts to get out of the room.
After five or ten minutes of the most
exciting scenes since the assassination
quiet was restored.
At the conclusion of the examina-
ton of Golden the commonwealth
rested its case and court adjourned.
1t was stated last night that Mrs.
Golden would also be introduced as a
witness, but she was not put on the
stand.

1t will be noticed that the estimated
number of live stock excluding swine,
goats, asses and burros, in the country
has increased over two and half mill
lion in the last two years, and it must
be borne in mind that these figures
apply to farms and ranges only.
The value of the same classes of live
stock according to estimates from the
same source has increased both be-
cause the number has grown and be-
cause the value per head has risen, the
net addition to the wealth of the coun-
try from this source in the last two
years being nearly one third OF bill
lion dollars. The total value on this
national asset at the present time, in
GLIDING with these classes of live stock
asses and burros. swine and goats,
and the animals OF the farms and
ranges, is probably not less than three
billion dollars.

An INTERESTING QUESTION:
Raised ~ the Failure Of Two Coun-

Raised ~ the Failure Of Two Coun-
ties to Re-value Real Estate.
Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, April 81
The failure of Mercer and Tyler coun-
ties to make provision for the reas-
sessment Of their real estate has given
rise to the question whether a reval-
uation and equalization of real estate
for taxation by the State board would
be valid or lawful. The law provides
that the board shall, upon receiving
the reports of the reassessment of real
estate in the several counties, proceed
to eQualize the assessments between
them. Not having the reports from a
few of the counties, the board might
arrive at something like just valua-
ton of the real estate therein from
adjoining counties, but would such re-
valuation be legal, valid or binding?
Leading lawyers here are of the opin-
ion that it would not, and the eoualiza-
ton board. through its secretary, has
undertaken to stir up these counties
and get in their reassessments. It is
said now that Mercer, Tyler, Marshall
and Wood will each forward it's reas-
sessments. They may be little tardy,
but they will come.
number of counties will institute
contest proceedings before the board
to have their assessments reduced
Among those who have sent in notices
OF contest are Ohio, Pocahontas, Cabell,
Randolph and Wyoming.

SUFFERED DAMAGE OFF THE
COAST OF JAPAN.
Vessel Brought to Kobe in Safety-Cap-
tain Seabury Gains New Laurels-A
Testimonial from the Passengers.

The good steamship China has been
in new peril, and Captain oeabury has
gained new laurels for himself as a
seaman and navigator.
While on the way from Yokohama to
Kobe the China was caught in the tidal
wave and typhoon which swept the
coast of Japan September "a, and did
such great damage in several cities of
japan as is reported in another column.
The news of the peril to the China
came in letters to people here in town
brought by the Gaelic, and by the Of
t1cers of that steamer. While not in
detail it shows that the China was in
great danger Her deck was sprung.
part of her after deck works were car
ried away, and her hull was so sprung
as to leak, some of her boats We're
smashed and some damage was done
forward. Captain Finch of The Gaelic
says that he was able to learn COM
paratively few details, but he did not
understand that the vessel had suffered
severe damage.
1t was reported among passengers
and others in the Gaelic that the dam
age was sufficient to make it expedient
for the vessel to go into dry dock at
Nagasaki. This report however is un-
confirmed.
The passengers on the China got up
an elaborate testimonial to Captain
Seabury and he was the recipient of
much commendation from the maritime
authorities of Japan.

DRAFTS At THIRTY DAYS
GOVERNMENT TAKES A MONTH
TO PAY BILLS.
No Funds in Certain Appropriations
Until the Taxes Begin Coming in
Warrants Issued Today Dated Nov. 20

Creditors of the government found to-
day, that alas! it is true that the Ter
ritory is short of funds and will take
advantage of the law which gives it
thirty days in which to pay it's bills
after they are audited.
The treasury pays bills on the 10th of
the month, among other days, and a
great many people were expecting to
get their money today. But when they
got their warrants, they found that
those drawn against the appropriations
of certain departments were not dated
October 20, 1900. as by usual custom
they would have been, but No
vember 20, 1900. So that they are not
payable for month yet
The departments in which warrants
are thus dated payable a month hence,
are the Tax Office, the Board of Health,
the Attorney Generals department, and
the Department of Public Instruction.
The banks refuse to accept these war
rants as cash deposits except at thirty
days discount.
Warrants in other departments where
there is still money in the treasury to
meet them are dated October 20, accord
ing to past custom and are payable inn
mediately.
BY November 20 it is expected that
enough taxes will have been collected
to meet all warrants drawn for pay
ment that day.
