BRITISH AGRICULTURE. f.
lSr ths Year 1900 Show That
the DeeaAas Is PsssAs&SaA.

The London correspondent of the
New York Tribune says the agricult-
ural returns of Great Britain for 1900
which have just been issued show that
the decline of British agriculture pur-
sues it's steady course. The area un-
der corn crop in Great Britain, which
in 1870 occupied 0.s4s.o acres, has
fallen to 1885. 900 acres.
The area under green crops has fall
en- almost as heavily, while only the
acreage laid down in grass and clover
shows an increase. In horses, cattle,
sheep and pigs there is slight ad-
vance in this period, bat not such as
to keep pace with the increase in pop
ulation, or to compensate for the di-
minished corn production. England,
which used to grow her own corn and
was able to feed herself, is becoming
every year more and more dependent
upon imports from foreign countries.

HERRIN DISCUSSES TAX CASE.

San Francisco Chronicle, July 81:
w. f. Herrin, Judge CARRIER and Z.
Black Ryan, who went to Carson last
week to represent the Southern Pa
cifc in the Nevada tax case before
Judge Hawley in the United States
Circuit Court, have returned home.
Chief Counsel Herrin, in discussing
the matter yesterday afternoon, said !:
"We argued and submitted the mat
ter and expect decision within two
or three weeks. We contend that the
assessment OF the company's property
by the several County Assessors, sit
ting as Board of Assessors, was ille-
gal. Heretofore each County Asses
sor has assessed the railroad property
in his particular county, as required
by law, and this in our opinion, is the
only manner in which railroad prop
erty can be legally assessed in this
State. The several County Assessors
were authorized by an Act of the last
Legislature to meet in body to estab-
lish a uniform taxation on all prop
erty within the State which was OF
such nature as to permit of a uni
form assessment. The law does not
specify what property comes within
this class, and, in our opinion, it is
impossible, from the very nature OF
railroad property, to establish a uni
form assessment on the Southern Pa
cific Company's roadbed and right-of-
way. In Washoe county, for instance,
the railroad property is more valuable
than in other counties where the track
runs along a level prairie. There
fore it does not come within the prov
ince of the State Board to assess rail.
road property. The company's tracks
run through seven of the fourteen
counties of the State, and it remains
for the Assessors of those counties t.
do the assessment work. Instead
the Assessors of the counties through
which the railroad does not run con

tributed by their votes in the making
OF the assessment. The County As
SCISSORS have, under the law, until the
second Monday in September to COM
plete their assessments, and / there
fore look for an early decision from the
Nevada court, so that, in case We are
right in our contention, the County
Assessors will have time to do the
work in accordance with the pre-
scribed system in past years."

MEDICINE A HUMBUG.
Sneaker So Declares Before Amer
ican Congress Of Tubereulosis.
N, - q. Leversos Creates Excite.
ue,t st the Meeting Just Held In
uew York-Hfs Paper Condemned
snd shut Out from lslnutes.

Excitement marked the closing
meeting of the second annual session
Of the American Congress of Tuber-
culosis, held the other day at the Hotel
Majestic, New York. For a time the
dignity of the assembly was pcrilously
near the overflow point. but the crisis
was passed in safety and the disturber
retired from the room. DR.. M. X. Lev
erson, of Brooklyn, read a paper en-
titled rs tuberculosis Infectious?
Should Il be Prevented by Legisla-
tion?" The essay afforded the doctor
vehicle for the expression of the
most radical sentiments. and, in spite
of the opposition that plainly mani
tested itself. he read IL through.
After denying that there were any
infectious diseases. with particular
reference 20 tuberculosis and small
pox, he sharply condemned vaccina-
ton and pronounced the present anti
splitting ordinance stupidity and
folly" The infectious theory" he
said, was kept up by the regular
physicians who were always on the
lookout for power, place and pelf."
Apparently not content with the
sensation he had already created, DIR.
Leverson continued: Medicine is a
great humbug. i know it is called a
science, but it is nothing like science.
Doctors are mere empires when they
are not charlatans. To declare tuber-
culosis infectious in the face of so
many facts conclusive to the contrary
is to repeat the blunder of the Eng
hsh Royal College of Physicians, who
declared in 1854 that the inoculation
of smallpox was q highly salutary
practice. The first and most efficient
act to prevent the spread of tubercu-
losis will be to abolish the enforce
ment and encouragement of the muir
derous superstition Of vaccination.
DR.. Charles X. Hole, of Helena,
Mont, jumped to his feet and moved
that the paper not be printed in the
minutes. This was easily carried. A
vote was also taken severely con
demning the criticism of the medical
profession by DIR. Leverson. This was
also carried. DIR. Leverson protested
vainly and left the room.
Resolutions were adopted on the
recommendation of a special commit
tee, calling on the government to
take steps TO limit the spread of the
dread disease by certain specified
methods.

REFUSED A PARDON.
Nevada Board Decides TO Keep Pat.
rick Crowley In Prison.

Nevaua BO0r0 Decf0eo 10 N eop fa y
rick Crowley I'm Prison.
A Carson, New, dispatch Of July 20
says: The State Board Of Pardons
composed of Gov. Sadler. Attorney
General Woodburn and the three
Judges Of the Supreme Court, Massey
Belknap and Fitzgerald, this afternoon
denied the application Of Patrick
Crowley for pardon.
July q, 1890, eleven years ago, he
murdered William Nichols, shift boss
Of the Savage mine at Virginia under
the most brutal and unjustifiable cir
cumstances by smashing his head with
an axe in the presence Of two other
miners working on the same shift at
the station level OF the mine, 1900 feet
below the surface. Afterwards he
coolly and deliberately threw the body
down the shaft to the bottom, 100
feet deep.
The case was very plain and the
evidence direct, but by the extreme
ability of counsel he got off with a
sentence of life imprisonment for muir
der in the second degree.
Crowley and his two mining COM
panions we're Irish, and Nichols, their
shift boss. was Cornishman and an
Odd Fellow. 1t has become a prom
inently noted fact during the last six
or eight years that strong, deeply in
terested and influential efforts have
been made at every general election
and each annual session of the par
doning board to secure a pardon for
Crowley. Politics, religion and ma
tionality have been industriously
brought to bear. and this time it was
represented that he was dying with
consumption in consequence of his
confinement. but on a personal visit to
the prison by the board to-day it was
concluded that he could stand i'm
prisonment year longer at least.
Attorney General Woodburn being
Crowley's attorney at his trial eleven
years ago, very consistently voted fol
his release now, and Governor Sadlel
voted the same way, but the three
Justices of the Supreme Court, Massey
Belknsp and Fitzgerald, were an effect
ual offset and Crowley remains in the
pen. He escaped from prison two
years ago through the negligence of q
guard one afternoon, and slid through
the sagebrush down Carson river hall
dozen miles to near the Brunswick
mill, where he was found concealed in
an outhouse waiting for dark SO as to
get to his friends at Virginia. but he
did not make it, and this circumstance
did not work in his favor in to-day's
consideration.

To the Editor Of the SENTINEL:
The within petition will in Q measure
explain itself. The Chinese Exclusion
Act will expire by limitation in May,
1902. As labor 10 the 6rst to feel the
evil effects Of the importation OF cheap
labor and degraded workers, organized
labor has decided TO appeal. through
petition, TO the people for re-snsct-
ment of the Chinese Exclusion Act. with
amendments that appear in the petition.
We do not deem it necessary to argue
the question with the people Of Nevsds.
for we think they fully understand the
evils Of Asistio immigration and only
want the opportunity presented to act.
Hence we would ask you to be kind
enough to give our letter and petition
space in your valuable paper to the end
that the people msy fully understand
the purpors Of the petition when pre-.
sented to them for signature. This COM
mittse will send petitions TO every post
Office in Elko, Eureka. Lander and Hum

that our work is large, but the stake
played for-the American home-is
worth it. We would respectfully urge
every man and women to act promptly;
delays are dangerous. Any assistance
through your valuable paper will be sp-
preciated. Very respectfully.
