A great deal of figuring is necessary
in connection with this railroad assess
ment work. The reports come In lack
ing in uniformity and much computa-
ton is necessary to bring them into
harmony. When all are in this work
will be commenced and then the eXecu
tive council will have before it abun-
dant material on which to make the as
scssments. The passage of the English
law will not affect the assessment this
year and may not do so next year mas
much as the figures can not be secured
for 1901 as provided in that law nor all
of them for the current year. The law
goes into effect when the year is half
gone and the railroad companies will
not be engaged in keeping accounts in
the manner desired.

of discord among the pupils several

for the troops. All the factories and
mines of Morlanwelse, Valare and
Mabille are closed. Socialist disturb
ances occurred last night at Namur.
The mob stoned the police, who
charged with drawn swords. Subse-
quently force of gendarmes scattered
the rioters.
The strike is steadily extending in
both this city and suburbs, especially
at Moendeek, where number of large
factories stopped work The military
and police adopted more stringent
measures to preserve order. The burg
omaster has refused the socialist re-
quest to be allowed to follow their own
devices in burying the socialists killed
during the Saturday riots. Orders
have been issued for the procession to
be held at 6 an the morning, without
bands or funeral ernblems. Other in

Washington. April 15.-The letter
from Attorney General Knox relative to
the so-called beef trust was made pub

letter the judiciary committee decided,
without division, to recommend that
the resolution of Thayer, of Massachu-

steps he had taken against the beef
trust lie on the table. The attorney

ercome in the middle of the road, and
afterward thrown to one side in an eV-
ident effort to conceal the body from
discovery by anyone who should pass
that way before morning.
The face of the boy was suffused
with blood, and an examination dis
closed that his body had received a

ures were so frightfully disfigured that
none of the party recognized the boy
until few minutse later, Mr. Beck
having crossed to the opposite side of
the road in an attempt to turn the
horse and buggy and send them back
with one of the party to notify Coroner
Beck of the murder, cried:
For God sake. come here. Here is
another body lying in the ditch on this

Mr.. Carey Mr. Day and several
others hurried to his side. BY the aid
of a lantern they saw the body of a
young girl resting cross wise in the
ravine. Her clothing was thrown In a
confused mass about her head and
chest. The dress and saque she wore
were rent into fragments. Her under
clothing was almsot shredded from her
body, and her hat, which seemed to
have been torn from her head early
in the struggle, rested on the edge of
the ditch in which her body had been
cast.
The back of her skull was broken III
half dozen places, where 1t had been
struck with the butt of revolver or
some blunt instrument. Meantime a

attorney general, in which the follow
ing questions are asked:

attorney general, In which the folloW-
ing questions are asked:
Has your attention been called TO the
matter alleged in house resolution 203,
a copy of which is annexed?
Have you been requested to take
any official action in the matter?
Have you any evidence of the exist
ence of such a combinations" ?"
The attorney generals answers to
the questions follow:
1T has not, except so far as it is a
matter of general notoriety.
II have not
"None that could be classed as legal
evidence"
Continuing, the letter says: 1t is
proper, think, however, to add that
owing to the positive and repeated
circumstantial nature of allegations,
that the law is being flagrantly vio-
lated, / directed sometime ago thor
ough investigation to be made by one.
Of the district attorneys of the United
States for the purpose of ascertaining
whether in fact such combination ex-
listed. and whether, If SO, its opera
tions were in violation of any federal
statute" Continuing, the report says:
ut is apparent from this correspon-
dence there is no necessity for the
adoption of the resolution by reason
of the widespread notoriety of the
matter and the attorney general has
already ordered a thorough investiga-
ton. There is no doubt he will perform
his duty and prosecute all offenders,
If offenders there be.
ut is evident he should not be re-
quired to give in ddtail the steps al
ready taken as this would be to fore
warn those who are Violating the law
and enable them to conceal the evil
dence.
ut is also evident this officer can not
state whether or not there has been an
infringement of the law, as no evil
0ence has been presented to him upon
which to base his opinion and no intel
ligent opinion can be given as to
whether or not there has been an in
fringement until the facts are fully as
certained.
"It is also evident that no legal steps
can be taken toward prosecution of the
parties violating Me law until thor
cugh investigation has been made.
The short letter of the attorney
general above quoted answers the reso
luton as fully as can or ought to be at
this time"

to appropriate $4,000 went thru the

have been mistake. The bill provided
for support of the fish Matching, for coll
