electric companies, whose total capital
stock was estimated to be worth S36S ,0OO,-
O0O all of which had escaped taxation pre-
viously, and was likely to be omitted again
by the state board, which adjourned last
December without assessing this vast
amount of property.
The trial of the case was begun before
Judge Thompson in Springfield, March %,
and the decision was handed down May ,,
commanding the board to reassemble June
II and assess these corporations in accord
ance with the rules of the board in regard
to the assessment of capital stock But
the board not only neglected to make the
assessment, but repealed the rules of the
board on the subject, which had been in
force for thirty years, and had been sus-
tanned by the United States Supreme Court
as the only fair and legal plan of assess
ment.
Teachers Were Right.
What was considered the weak point in
the teachers case was that the mandamuS
was asked while the board was still in ses-
sicn. and while it was protesting that 1t
meant to do the very thing which the man.
damus required. The teachers contention
was that the board was continuing body
and that it had refused for years to make
these assessments, and that if a mandamus
could not issue until after the board had
adjourned it might as we'll never be isSu ed
compel the board to perform its manifest
duty. The teachers view of the case seems
to have been sustained by the supreme
court.
Broad as is the sweep of this decision in
itself, its logical results are much greater,
as the decision, it is said. really applies just
as we'll to railroad corporations and every
other corporation in the state, and may
lead to the collection of back taxes.
Concerning the decision of the supreme
court to compel the equalizers to list the
stocks of corporations. Attorney Greenacre.
who acted for the Teachers Federation in
the courts, said today: THE decision
shows that the methods of corporations
must be open to public inspection: that the
taxes of home owners will be reduced from
s. to 81. and that the deficits annually con-
fronting the county and city governments
will no longer appear. Streets can be i'm

other public institutions maintained in

RETURNS WITH PROTOCOL
SPECIAL COMMISSIONER R0CKHILL
HOME FROM CHINA.
No Further Duties Except to Prepare
Final RepOrt-Wiu Not Attend
Pan-Americau Congress.

Special Commissioner w. W. Rockhill
called at the State Department this morn
ing and reported his arrival in Washington
to Acting Secretary Hill and Assistant Sec
retary Adee. Mr.. Rockhill has resumed
charge of the bureau of American repub-
lies. His Chinese mission is discharged with
the single exception that he must submit
a final report to Secretary Hay, telling
what he did in China He will not engage
in any further negotiations with the Chi
nese officials.
Mr.. Rockhil brought home a corrected
copy of the final protocol Up to this
point the State Department has not been
in possession Of that document; indeed, as
the last revision was made on September
q, when some very necessary but not very
interesting changes were made in the pro-
tccoIs, there has not been time for the text
to reach the department until Mr.. Rockhill
arrived. The department has already taken
steps to have these protocols published i'm
mediate1y for general information, for at
many points the commercial world will find
matters of interest.
In connection with these sections of the
protocols, it may be noted that it was sole
ly through the efforts of the United States
government, as eXerted through Mr.. Rock
hill, that what are known as the CONNER
cial concessions in the protocols were Sc
cured. Thus single staple, namely, flour.
WdS pldce0 upon IHe tUlHeSc ITee 1St, ana
in view of the present large market in Chi
ma for American -four, and the enormous
prospective demand to follow closer rela-
tions, this one concession is regarded as Of
great value. The improvements the Chi
nese government is pledged to make in the
navigation of the Pei-Ho and other Chinese
arterial rivers We're also obtained entirely
through the Initiative of the United States
government, and the same statement is
practically true of the important reform
in customs methods involved in the substi-
tuition of specific for ad valorem duties
upon goods entering China.
Although Mr.. RockhiI1 had been named as
one of the representatives of the United
States to attend the congress of American
republics now in session in Mexico City,
before he departed for China, he has de-
cided that he will not attend the congress-
though it was in large part owing to his
efforts that this congress was brought to-
gether.
Accompanying Mr.. Rockhill is Mr. Hub
bard T. Smith, who has for several years
represented the State Department in Chi
ma and Japan as consular clerk He is
on leave, though he will probably not re-
turn to China but be assigned to duty in

When Captain Charles E. Clark who

They Had Robbed Post once at Gen.
terburI, Ohio.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, october N-Last
night officers discovered the five men who
yesterday looted the Centerburg post office
and two railway stations. The men were
seen near the Delaware county fair
grounds. When the officers gave chase the
burglars ran east along the Big -Four rail-
road. An engine was secured by the off,
GERS, but the burglars took refuge in the
woods. Later one of the searching party
of twenty-five men came upon two of the
burglars hiding behind a log. When the
posse approached within a hundred yards
they began to run. The officers opened
fire, and one burglar Immediately threw up
his hands and fell.
The other man continued to run and
though so seriously shot he fell three times
he kept up desperate fight with his shot
gun In the darkness he managed to es-
cape, although he is undoubtedly seriously
injured. The captured man fell to avoid
the bullets and was not shot. He gives his
name as George Morris and says he is from
Columbus
At the police station Morris attacked
Sheriff Schaeffer like a maniac, and had
to be knocked down three times before he
gave up. He refused to talk. A picket
line has been formed around the woods
where the other burglars are supposed
to be.

ENGLAND EXPECTS TROUBLE.
War ONCE Makes Preparations to Call
Ont Volunteers.

LONDON, October pam error commit
ted by some of the provincial police has led
to the premature leaking out of the fact
that the war Office contemplates the possi-
BILE contingency of having to call out every
volunteer in the country. The war Office
has distributed to the police offices through
out the kingdom bills ordering all reserv-
lists, militia, yeomen and volunteers to re-
port themselves without delay to headquar-
ters with the view of active service
These bills are accompanied by letters or
dering that the bills be kept in a safe place
until telegraphic orders to post them up are
received. The police of Lancaster over
looked the letter and posted the bills, caus-
ing widespread perturbation.

Contractors for New Government
Printing ONCE Assessed $17,773.
The controller of the treasury has render
ed decision regarding the amount of pen
alties which are held to be due by the
Phoenix Iron Company of Philadelphia,
contractors for the iron construction of the
new government printing office. The con-
tract stipulated that a penalty of 500 a
day should be paid the government by the
contractors for every day over six months
from the time Of commencing the work.
The decision is very volunainous, taking
up every possible ground for offset. 1t con-
cedes that Sundays and legal holidays
should not be charged for,-and also that
delay caused by change of plans by the
government should not be chargeable to
the contractors. The conclusion reached is
that SIT 1885 is due the. government from
the contracting firm as penalties, and that
all but $3.473o5 of this amount is yet to be
collected or withheld, the latter amount
having already been deducted.

Every available unreserved seat in the

inquiry is sitting, was occupied half an
hour today before the court was called to
order at II o'clock. The announcement oil
the approaching close of the case and OF
the possibility that Admiral Schley would
take the witness stand during the day had
the effect of increasing the public interest
and of bringing to the court room larger
number of persons than could be conven-
iently accommodated and far larger num-
Der than could hear the proceedings.
The interest in the proceedings was never
so great as today, if the attendance in the
