REFERENCE TO ATTORNEY.
Recommendation Respecting Request
Of Mr.. John II. Shields.


of Mr.. John II. Shields.
The assistant assessor Mr.. E. w. Griffin,
has recommended to the Commissioners
that thesrequest of Mr.. John r. Shields Of
$50 AZ street, that he be rendered tax bills
on lots 2H and 245, square 675, in accord
ance with the new assessment Of the lots,
and interest added from date of said new
assessment, be- referred to the attorney for
the District. According to a report made
in the case by Mr.. Griffin, it appears that
Mr.. Shields two or three days ago request
ed the bills, the property having been for
merry assessed in the name OF Alexander
Il. Shepherd. The 10Th of last December,
1t also appears, Mr.. Shields called for the
bills on this property for the years 1880 to
1900, inclusive, accompanying his request
with the statement that a good title had
passed to him, and alleged as this property
had peen wrongly assessed, the District ct
any additional interest, penalty or costs.
A report was submitted from the asses
sor's office and referred by the Commission
ers to the attorney for the District for his
opinion, and February 10, 1901, he gave an
adverse report, quoting an opinion of the
court Burgdorf against District of Column
bia, etc. that the penalties and costs are
a part of the delinquent tax, regardless Of
the form of assessment"
February 20 Mr.. Shields furnished the
assessors office with a certificate of title
upon these lots. and under an order of the
Commissioners dated March IA, 1891, the
east sixteen feet of lot 241 and the west
eight feet four inches of lot 242 is now as
sessed in the name Of Geo. F. Appleby.
trustee. and BENJAMIN c. West, and the
east nine feet eight inches Of lot 242, all of
lots 243, PA. the west five feet eight inches
of 245, in the name of Geo. F. Appleby,
trustee, and Samuel Cross and others, trus-
tees, for the respective years.
March 20. 1901 Mr.. Shields stated that
the property now having been placed on
the records in the name of the rightful
owners requests that the bills for the
years 1880 to 1900 inclusive be rendered
him, with the interest added only from the
GATE OF the new assessment.
In the correction of our records" says
Mr.. Griffin. 'the Office assumes that this
property was wrongly assessed to Alex
ander R. Shepherd during those years: and
until said property was placed in the proper
names. under the order Of March 49, 1901.
1t would seem the District had no status
as to the collection Of interest, penalty and
costs. but as this is a question involving
the real owners liability as to interest
charges on this property it is deemed proper
to submit the matter with the suggestion
that the opinion of the attorney for the
District should be still further requested"

China's Alleged Rejection of Russia's
Agreement,
MR., VIII HAS NOT BEEN INFORMED
Question of lndemnities Tenn
porariIy Laid Aside.
MANCHURIA AGAIN FIRST

The question of Chinese indemnities has
given way for the moment to the more
pressing issue over the contamination of
the Russia-China agreement relating to
Manchuria, as the latter subject has reach
ed decisive stage through the fact that
only three days remain within which China
can confirm or reject the agreement. I'm
der these circumstances there is naturally
much anxiety in official and diplomatic
quarters as to the outcome, for the ac-
tive part taken by the various powers and
the threatening attitude of Japan give I'M
usual Importance to the conclusions to be
reached within the next few days. The
Chinese minister had q conference with
Secretary Hay at IL o'clock today, the
Manchurian question being one of the chief
subjects of discussion. The minister
bI ought no definite information, however,
as to what has been done on the agree
ment.
So far as the United States is concerned
it seems likely that the last word has been
spoken, and there is not expected to be
any decisive move or protest beyond what
has already been given. At the same time
it is appreciated that the United States
has large commercial interests in Manchu
ria. which cannot but DE affected if China
authority there is practically transferred
To Russia.
Some surprise was expressed In official
circles at the publication of a specific
statement that the RusSo-ChineSe treaty
has been rejected by China. 1t was said
at the State Department that no such in
formation of a rejection had been COM
municated here, and it was pointed out
also that three days still remain within
which action could be taken. 1t is hardly
to be expected that such momentous oc-
currence would fail to be reported promptly
to the State Department and to other for
eisn governments. The Chinese minister
shook his head when shown the report
OF China's rejection of the agreement. and
said that he had received no such infor-
nation, and that the report went entirely
too far.

SPINNERS ARE DISSATISFIED.
English Cotton Manufacturers Expect
Trouble With Operatives.

LONDON. March 23.-The Speaker today
says there are unmistakable signs of more
trouble between the masters and the opera
tives In the cotton trade. A period of trade
activity has been followed by a reaction,
accelerated by the high prices Of raw cot
ton and other materials, a poor demand
from India and almost complete stop
page of buying from China.
The Lancashire spinners and weavers
have held out longer than their rivals in
the United States or continent, but the
rapid closing down of the mills shows their
turn is coming. and as the American crop
is likely to be insufficient even for the re-
duced consumption, there is not much pros
pect of low level quotations for raw cotton
to invigorate the demand for yarn and
cloth. If some agreement whereby wages
may be adjusted according to the state of
trade is not soon concluded declining profits
Will force the masters to reduce wages
