Not a Probable causus BelIi.

Tien Tsin. March 1O-The mission
property here which is in dispute be-
tween the French and American con-
suls is less than two acres in area. 1t
borders the American mission property
and was previously occupied by unde-
sirable Cinnamon. The French consul
stopped building operations on the dis
puted property and placed policeman
there. The French flag has not been
raised over the property. The Ameri-
can consul is maintaining a firm atti-
tude and does not believe serious devel-
opments to be likely. The English
Methodist mission of London, the
American board of commissioners for
foreign missions and the American
Methodist mission all have property
within the extra concession claimed by
the French in June. 1900. Since thai
time the American missions have pur
chased the adjoining piece of property
The French now claim this latter prop
erty. American flags have been hoist
ed over the property in question.

New York Drinks as Usual.

New York. March 9.-Despite the al
legged promises Of the saloonkeepers
that to-day would be the very driest
Sunday on record, so far as New York
was concerned, the man or woman who
wished had little or no trouble In pur-
chasing drink. About the only notice
able difference in getting one was that
the thirsty man was not allowed to
stand at the bar. and in many in
stances he was forced to sit down to
the property sandwich left over from
the earlier days of the Raines law
reign. In the upper West Side portion
OF the city the orders for Il dry Sunday
Were observed to certain extent. On
the lower East Side of the city it is
doubtful II one saloon out of 500. was
closed. In most instances man could
walk into the side door without any
trouble.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE EXTRA
SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE

By unanimous consent Mr.. Riley's
memorial to the President and secre-
tary of the interior was taken up and
passed. 1t seeks the revocation of a
departmental order which prevents the
construction of storage reservoirs on
government domain in the San Luis
valley.
Senator Jefferson offered an amend
ment to the revenue bill for the relief
of drug stores, permitting them to sell
liquor for medical purposes and upon
the prescriptions of physicians without
paying the liquor tax of $25. The
amendment was defeated. Senator
Moore offered an amendment including
buffet and dining cars. Senator Buck
ley opposed this because, he said, it
was hardship on the tourists who We
are seeking to bring here. Senator
Stewart said: II am opposed to a man
getting drunk on a Pullman car. We
have to pay for everything we get on
those cars. We have to pay the high
est price for whisky or beer or anything
else we drink, and 1 don't see why they
shouldn't pay for the privilege Of sell
ing it." The amendment was carried

still RiotIna at Norfolk.

Norfolk, Va, March 10.-From pres.
ent indications the strike IL by no
means over. 1t is very probable that
the strikers will not accept the-terms
of settlement named by the arbitra-
ton committee of the Chamber Of
Commerce last night. The main objec-
ton of the strikers Is that they are
required to work with non-union men;
only eighty-five per cent. will be re-
employed, and they must sigh the
surety bond. The cars ran today un.
der the military guard, and the guard
was doubled tonight. The riot of last
night was the ilercest since the strike
started and several soldiers and citi-
zens Were injured.

Shall the corporations be assessed

ty rs Is not actually used in the opera
ton of their business. or shall the
state board of equalization return to
the old method and endeavor to deter
mine the cost of duplication and dlsre-
gard the intangible values attaching
to the property? That is the problem
with which the Senate Is confronted.
In the opinion of the many the Martin
Sclwelgert amendment adopted by the
House Is SO loosely drawn that the
assessing power may disregard the
value of the stocks and bonds. and
base the valuation upon other evil
dence. Senators Clay Il. Whitford

to have the value of the stocks and
bonds the sole standard OF valuation,
while Senators Seld0mridge. Hume
