CAPTAIN BEACH DISSENTS.
His Views Respecting Service of As

Mrs. ]. 3. Pomeroy of Newport, N Y,
recently applied to the District Commits
sioners for permission to pay a water main
assessment against property owned by her
in Widows Mite subdivision upon tender
of the principal, the penalties and interest
to be waived in consideration of the fact
that she received no service of notice E.
W. w. Griffin. the assistant assessor, rec
commended favorable action, SAYING that
the owner is a nonresident, and notice of
the assessment was never properly or eff
fectually" served, being placed upon the
open lot. The first three installments of
the tax were sold and the assistant assess
or recommended that each of these sales
be declared void and the purchase money
refunded the purchasers, and that the origi-
nal tax be restored and payment received
upon tender of the principal.
Captain Beach, the Engineer Commits
sioner, In passing upon the papers in the
case, said:
owing to the number of cases where
notice was served by placing assessment
bill upon the lot, where it was found i'm
possible to locate the owner, it is not be-
heVed to be good policy to declare such
notices as improperly and Intellectually
served until the courts have rendered such
a decision. The amount of revenue involved
Is such that it does not appear to me ad
visable to allow the assessment to remain
unpaid unless the courts decide the assess

the house of peers of Japan, and man of
strong character, is giving especial atten-

LONDON. October 21.-Candidates for the
purple at the consistory which the pope
usually holds about Christmas time, accord
ing to the Rome correspondent of the Pail
Mall Gazette, are arising everywhere, their
numbers seeming to increase in proportion
to the distance from Rome. The United
States, for instance. besides the candidates
of long standing-Archbishop Corrigan and
Ireland, who represent two opposite ten
denotes in the American Roman Catholic
Church-has on this occasion two addition
al aspirants for the red hat.
There are only four vacancies in the col

selection, as the pope is credited with
determination not to have more than one
cardinal in the United States. fearing that
the friction and antagonism would be diff
cult to harmonic and might be fatal to
Catholicism il America.

HELP FROM RUSSIA.
government Confident of Saving Miss
Stone Through Muscovfte influence

There has been no report since Saturday
at the State Department from Turkey or
Bulgaria touching Miss Stones case The
ofhclals, however, are by no means dis
couraged and are still confident that they
will succeed in saving her life, but whether
by diplomacy or by force is not clear. II
is gathered that the friendship of the Rus
sian government has much to do with the
confidence of the officials here. That gov
ernment has responded in the most cordial
spirit to the appeal of the State Depart-
ment, which, unable itself from geograph-
ical and political reasons to exert pressure
upon the government of Bulgaria. has been
pleased 10 avail itself of the powerful in
nuence or Russia on that government The
turkish government has, for its part re-
spcnded in the same spirit to the appeal of
the United States. and altogether the two
governments, Turkish and Bulgarian, have
probably been put to a degree of expense
equal to the amount of the ransom demand
ed by Miss Stones captors in the military
operations they have already directed in
her interests
