bearing before the board OF assessors
Of the town and asking them to have
his assessment raised SO per cent, says
the New York Sun. He said that he
had never paid any attention to the
making ont of his list OF taxable prop
erty, leaving 1t with the assessors. He
had looked The matter up recently AND
had decided that he was not paying all
that he sho.!.d into the town treasury
and he asked for the raise. The asses
sors promised to comply with his
wishes and it is understood that they
will raise the taxes Of all other mil
ionaires there to some extent. MT.
Bruce's example is the subject OF much
comment. For many years past Green

nearly 100000. The town appointed

BREAK IN LIBERAL PARTY
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES LIKELY
no RESIGN THE LEADERSHIP

LONDON, July 2-The crisis in the
ranks of the Liberal party has reached
an acute stage. This fact was publicly
admitted and deplored by Sir Henry
Campbell-Brennerman, the leader of the
party in speech at SOUTHAMPTON
tonight. Although the rumors that Sir
Henry has already resigned the leader
snip of the party are premature, a meet
ing OF the party has been suddenly con-
vened for next Tuesday, when it is ex-
pected he will virtually offer his resigna-
ton.
The imperialist faction in the Liberal
party, headed by Herbert Asqulth, has
peen doing its utmost to enlist Lord Rose
berry on it's side but up to the present
time the latter has made no sign of meet
ing its desires.
Lord Rosebery arrived at Vienna From
IaSteln yesterday on his way to England.
lie VIII arrive in London next Friday
should he be willing to resume the lead
ershlp and support Mr.. Asquith it ia
probable the latter would become the
party leader in the house Of commons
II is understood that Mr.. Asquith would
long, ago have been selected as leader
OF the Liberal party had he been pos
SeSsed OF ample means This financial
dl1nculty would be surmounted by the
resumption of the leadership by Lord
RoseberY.

RAISE TIE ASSESSMENT

THIS YEAR WILL BE IN
CREASED S2,5oO,OOO

heavy IncreaseeAn Business, District
Is Partly Responsible for
the General Adj
vance.

according to the estimates made by
County Assessor Patrick Conley, the
assessment On the personal property in
Ramsey county It's year will be made
on valuation of $16,I04 141, which ex-
ceeds the valuation of last year by near
ly S2,5OOC 0OO.
In 1900 the assessment was made on
valuation Of $13,9 $685. and this year the
raise is due to the benefits ascribed to
business property. -
The city valuation for this year is
$l6,45S, $40, to which is added the as
sessme mt for towns and villages, amount
ing to $256,543 s,-=o
The only township which shows any
appreciable falling off is New Brighton,
the removal of the stock yards from that
place to South st. Paul having made the
assessment great deal lower
In referring to the assessment Mr.. Con-
ley said that the raise had been gradual,
and that it had been made among people
whom he thought could afford it. So far
as the jobbers. are concerned they have
been left the same as last year, as fixed
turned by the deputies thus far are re-
garded as satisfactory, although some
complaints have been received to the
effect that they are too high.
The work Of compiling the assessment
has been practically completed and ten
employees who finished their work Satur-
day have been let out. The chief deputy
was among the number to CO. and it is
understood that several more will be
let out within few days.

cadet training ship, the H: s. Charlotte,
the Glasgow ship Marion Light and the
Glasgow ship Ardencraig. The winner,
under the command of Capt. Grove,
made the run from Portland to Queens
town in 101 days 20 hours. Satisfactory
as this latest sailing record is, 1t pales
before the doings of some of the old-time
cracks" many Of which also performed
their speedy voyages with almost clock
like regularity. The Donald Mckay, the
celebrated BLACK BALI liner, was not
only the largest clipper In the world, but
was also accounted one Of the fastest
sailers ever built Upon one occasion
she took ], 900 troops from Portsmouth 10
Mauritius in seventy days, and her aver
age time for six consecutive voyages from
Liverpool to Melbourne was eighty-three
days, and only once it exceeded eighty
five days.
The details of the famous race between
the three China tea clippers in 1866 are
too familiar to need mentioning here,
but the fact that a speed of over sixteen
knots an hour has been made by a sailing
ship may not be so well known. The
British clipper ship Hurricane during the
course of one Of her voyages home from
Melbourne attained this rate Of sailing
on several days, her best run being 20
knots in sixteen and one-half hours. But
1t was after the Cos, and indeed well on
into the '70S, when some of the best sail
ing records were made. And it is doubt
full whether the performance Of the Sir
LancelOt, when she covered 1900 miles
In elghty-nlne days against the prevailing
monsoon, has ever been equaled; certain
ly there are no authentic statements to
show that it has been surpassed. The
voyage was made in 1869, from Foo-C Chow
Foo to London, and her best days run
was S54 statute miles, while crossing the
Indian ocean, the average for one week
being 300 miles day. This was essen
TALLY a voyage under adverse conditions.
Perhaps the fastest between England and
China was that made in 1851, when the
celebrated American clipper Pride OF tho
Ocean did the run out from Che Lizard
to Hongkong in siXty-nine days.

ferVidness of speech?"
II never burned that gas!"
But the meter, sir-the meter makes

asked the secretary as he appeared.
Because of the size Of this bill"
but you must remember that last

Man, hath they better senses left

he looked upon the kicker. Hath news
of war or the excitement Of politics turn
ed thy head? Hath escaped from some
insane asylum and come here with
wheels in thy head2'

This is a song that is ever being

fellow-man, but no one says YOU burn

for the leakage which always takes place
in house when the family is absent.

came in and said they might take the
