Correspondence of The Journal.
London, Feb. .15.-lt is no exaggeration
to say that Princess Margaret Of Con-
naught, King Edwards pretty niece, who
came OUT at ball in Dublin this week,
is an extremely important figure on the
international chessboard. She may take a
king.
The lively daughter of the Duke of
Connaught is generally regarded in
diplomatic circles as the most eligible OF
royal young women, while those of her
own country recognize in Princess Mar
garet Great Britain's best hope for a
fresh European alliance. Already her
name has been mentioned in connection
with prospective successors to the two
proudest thrones in Europe, and it is
hardly matter of doubt that sooner or
later some exalted match will be made
for her.
The fact that among her relatives
Princess Margaret is known as Daisy

goes far to prove that there is little state
illness or undue self-consciousnes about
the girl. Her temperament is just what
that Of a girl of 20 ought to be,-liyely
and not TOO serious. She is tall and grace
full, and has the knack Of making her
self liked. She rides horseback, she is a
devotee of the camera and she is never so
happy as when there is dance in pros
pect. Probably much of the tact and
graciousness for which she is famous,

most constant companion she was for a

Duchess of Connaught, some years ago

was an especial favorite of her royal

the resemblance to herself in Princess
Margaret's profile.

TAX LAW AMENDED TO DEATb
Merger Bill Providing Home for
an Orphan Reported for
Passage.
Special to The Journal

Special to The Journal
Ues Moines, Iowa, March 1.-The sen.
ate ways and means committee, weaken
ing under the pressure from the railroad
lobby, has voted to report for passage al
emasculated form of the subcommittee bill,
to revise the railway assessment laws.
The original bill provided that the exec
utive council in fixing the valuation of a
road should take into consideration the
sum Of the market value of the stocks and
bonds, together with any other matter
necessary to a just and equitable assess
ment. The bill as amended provides that
the council shall take into consideration
in addition to the sum of the market value
of the stocks and bonds, the gross earn
ings, net earnings and physical condition.
While the committee was unit in re-
porting the bin for passage, there was a
fight over the amendments. The sub
committee, consisting OF Julian, Healy,
Lewis and Porter, opposed weakening the
bill. The principal amendment referred
to above, was offered by Senator CroSsley.
The modification made is the very one
urged by Judge Cook, general solicitor for
Iowa of the Milwaukee. The purpose of
the subcommittee was to cut down the
latitude of the executive council in max
| ing assessments. In its amended form
the bill allows the council the widest dis
cretion. It differs little in effect from the
| law now in force, save that the counclI
| is now required TO give gross earnings first
consideration, whereas under the bill, the
value Of the stocks and bonds will be con-
sidered most prominently.
The action Of the committee is intensely
disappointing 10 many of the more radl-
cal friends Of a reform in assessments
! Bills will be introduced based on the
stocks and bonds plan and allowing the
executive council the least possible dis
| erection under the constitution.

RELIC OF DEBS STRIKE
Chicago May Have to Settle for
Heavy Damages.

Special to The Journal
Chicago, March by affirming the
judgment of the lower court to-day, the
judges of the United States circuit court
OF appeals opened the way for other suits,
which may result in heavy damages
against the city Of Chicago. Judges Jenk-
ms, Grosscup and Bum decided that the
Pennsylvania company was entitled to a
Judgment for $2,792, which was given
against the city for damage to the rail-
road property in the big strike OF July,
1894
The award of damages was made under
the act OF the Illinois Legislature of June
Is, 1887, the purpose of which is to in
demnify the owners of property for dam
ages occasioned by mobs and riots. AS
other valuable property was destroyed in
the same historic strike, it is probable
that the corporation counsel will have
numerous other damage suits on his
hands.
