MISTAKE IN TAX LEDGERs.
why Mrs. DUehler's Property Was
Advertised as Delinquent.

why Mrs. DUehler's Property Was
Advertised as Delinquent.
According to a report by H. H. Darneille.
the Assessor of the District, to the Com
missioners, the reason for the ADVERTISE
ment of the property of Mrs. NJ Buehler
as delinquent for taxes was due to a cler-
ical error in which her name was entered
twice in the tax ledgers, once correctly
spelled "Buehler,'' and in the other
"BeuhIer." With reference to the matter
Mr.. Darneile writes as follows:
Il would state that the matter has been
duly considered by this Office and we find
that the mistake occurred In the following
manner: The ledgers of this office WERE
up to the year 1897 made up by the vowel
system of indexing, but in 1897 it was
deemed advisable and more practicable to
use the style of the Directory and in order
to accomplish this desired object the names
from the ledger had to be copied on slips
and entirely rearranged before entry in the
new 1897 ledgers. Though errors were re-
duced to the minimum, some few mistakes
did occur and 1t seems that Mrs. Buehlers
account was put in the book in the wrong
place, and instead of being spelled Buehler
it was placed in the ledger as Beuhler
When the error was discovered. her ac-
count was set in the proper POSITION in
the ledger, but by some oversight the name
spelled Beuhler and the account under that
caption was not expunged. thereby ere
ating a duplicate account for the same
blocks and lots, but in a different name
as heretofore explained.
Mrs Buehler's bills were made QUE
properly, and her payments credited to
the correct account, leaving he erroneous
account unpaid.
las regards the allegation that she re-
quested the matter adjusted when the 1898
sale occurred, 1t would seem to rest as a
presumption that the clerk following her
suggestion as to the erroneous sale in
looking to see if it was sold. followed the
proper spelling of her name and found
that it was a mistake on her part for the
reason that the tax on her property in her
name as properly spelled was paid for that
year. and naturally dismissed the subject
from his mind, not knowing of the exist
ence of the duplicate account
THE matter has now been thoroughly
gone over. the duplicate account eliminated,
and action taken toward cancelng the
sale of April 1900"

adopted at San Francisco for the supres-
sion Of the bubonic plague. He has re-
ceived numerous kilograms on the subject
from the residents OF Chinatown, and al
OF them urge that he demand an imme-
date revocation OF the health order.
The situation out there is certainly
serious" said the Minister yesterday
The Chinese are desperately afraid Of the
incubation. and they will fight rather
than submit to it. fear hat there will
be serious riots unless the order is ,v-
voked.
If the Federal authorities are so anx-
ious to have the people in Chinatown in
oculated, why don't they work indiscrim-
inately on the whites and the Chinese, in
stead Of inoculating only my people ?
Wouldn't that be fair? But" said the
Minister, energetically, as he raised his
right hand to his eyebrows with gesture
of annoyance, "the majority Of the physi-
clans of California say that there is no
plague there at all. have just received
a telegram from the Chinese Consul at
San Francisco, which reads this way:

don't you abide by it In such matters as
this?
II have asked Dr. Wyman to have the
incubation stopped. 1t may be good
thing for Americans, but it may be a very
bad thing for Chinese whose food is of
different character and whose bodies are
not SO strong. DR.. Wymaii has promised
to bring the matter to the attention Of
the Treasury Department. Unless We can
get satisfaction shall be Obliged to make

Prospects of Match Between JEFF.
fries and Shcskey.
NEW YORK, May 23-Unless either of
the contracting parties sees fit to wriggle
out Of it, another match between Jim
Jeffries and Tom Sharkey will be made
tomorrow. Today Tom O'Rcurke, acting
on the request of the sailor. took the first
steps to clinch fight by handing certi-
fed check Of $500 to Al Smith, thereby
covering the forfeit of a similar amount
which W. A. Brady posted for the cham
pion the other day. O'Rourke said that
Brady called on him during the afternoon
and that match between the two big
fellows was discussed
Il told him l would meet him at his
office at O'Clock tomorrow afternoon"
said O'Rourke. land he was satisfied. I
cannot say exactly when the fight will take
place. 1t will be decided as quickly as
possible"
The fight, if arranged, will be fought at
Coney Island. The club, so O'Rourke says,
will make liberal offer. Sharkey has
two matches on at present. He is to first
tackle Kid Mccoy next month, and after
that he will fight Gus Rubin.

CRUSADE OF THE BoERs.
Peace Envoys Determine ON . Cam-
paign of Education.

Peace EnvOys Determine ON n Cnm-
paiEn of Education.
The three Boer ENJOYS were entertained
at lunch yesterday by Secretary Hay, at
his residence on H Street. The Secretary. it
Is understood. is much interested In the
commissioners, and although in an official
capacity he could do nothing for them. he
chose the method of inviting them to his
horfe as an expression Of his personal re-
gard- The ENJOYS are much pleased With
the courtesy. Secretary Hays action is In
line with the policy Of the President in re-
ceiving the ENJOYS in the Blue Room when
they called at the White Rouse on Mon
day, rather than to receive them in his
| Office.
The commissioners have Il cided on
canvass Of the whole country il, the inter-
est OF their cause, and will stisrt uron It
about the last Of the week. Not having
been received officially by this Govern
ment. and not having presented their Gre
dentials to the State Der art.,eat, they are
not considered as Ambassadors or diplo-
mats Accordingly they will re at liberty
to canvass the country on TIE same terms
as any other foreigners.
The whole purpose Of the campaign
will be to educate the Americans in knowl-
edge OF the war and its causes al seen
from Boer points OF view.
The canvass which promises to be enc
OF the most extraordinary il the history of
the nation, will be under the direct man
agement Of the ENJOYS themselves They
deny that any organfzat ion--even the Boer
National Relief Assoc:ation-wfiI have
charge Of their crusade. They particu-
larry repudiate the idea that they are allied
with any political party. The propaganda,
they declare, is in the interests only of
truth, and they say taay know neither
Democrat nor Republican. Administration
nor anti-Admnistration
Just what they expect to gain by the
propaganda Is not made clear, but they
seem to feel that by arousing the American
people sentiment may be created which
will influence the Government or at worst
may show England that this country will
receive with disapproval any terms of peace
in which settlement giving some degree
OF satisfaction to the Beers is not made.
The ENJOYS are almost destitute of details
regarding their trip. They have received
invitations from all Of the big cities of the
county between the two oceans, and their
trip will probably extend to California
Up to the present time however, they have
not decided which place shall be visited
first. As they have plenty Of time on hand,
1t would not be surprising should the cru
SADIE last for two months. IL the war
continues for such length of time.
Webster Davis, the former Assistant Sec
rotary OF the Interior, who is an ardent
ally OF the Beers, is in the city. and called
on the ENJOYS. He is interesting himself
in their cause, and is taking much interest
In their proposed tour.

can be learned from him. Brim, who SAYS
he lives at Jackson City, was locked up
late yesterday afternoon by Detectives

come in to Saratoga from Battle Lake
and exhibited a specimen of copper
ore from a new strike in one of the
claims belonging TO his company that

The lead lies between a heavy do.

five feet wide, a~ssaying from 20 per
cent to 60 per sent copper, and about
the usual quantity of gold. DR.. Burger
