CITY COUNCIL.

There was small volume OF business
transacted last night by the City Couu'
Gil. end much OF 1t was OF routine
nature. The proceedings attracted the
interest of but few outsiders, probably
on account of the inclement weather.
The ordinance imposing taxes on per-
sons, property, &c., was reported Dy
the finance committee and passed.
There was but one change, that In
ground rents. Heretofore the tax has
been at the rate of twelve times the
assessed value. The present ordinance
fixes it at sixteen and two .thirds.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
President Sweeney being absent Mr..
Curtin was elected president pro TEN.
There was but one paper introduced,
that being a resolution by Mr.. Hill
calling on the Corporation Attorney for
an opinion on the validity OF the reso.
luton passed by the Common Council
several weeks ago directing the Audi
tor to issue his warrant In favor OF T.
O. Dunn, City Engineer, for additional

sid bis motive in introducing the reso-

at the former amount, and he has been
dra awing the smaller amount since the 1st
Of January.
The committee this morning ordered a
favorable report on the bill recently intro

propriations today reported the diplomatic

gested by the committee make net in
crease OF 500 458 in the total appropria ton
mate by the bill as it passed the House.
bringing the entire sum up to s1.959, 2sS.

ance of better salaries to consuls and sec
retaries of legation. The salary of the
minister to Persia is raised from 5000 to
s. 800 There is an increase of $500 each
in the pay of the consul generals at Ant
werp and Coburg. and reduction OF $SC2,
in that of the consul at Dawson City, the
present salary being $3.50.
Other amendments restore the consul
general at Constantinople and the agent at
Sofia to their former positions in the Dip
lomatic service, taking them from the con-
sular service, but without change of salary
The rank OF the consul at Marseilles also
is restored to that of consul general. and

GOV. DoLE's ADVICE SOUGHT.
Senator Carter Of Hawaii Has Confer.
ence With President.

Senator George r. Carter of the legis-
lature of the territory OF Hawaii Gined
with President Roosevelt at the White
House last night and had a long talk with
him on Hawaiian affairs.
About a month ago, when there were
rumors that a change was to be made in
the administration and the name of Sam
uei Parker was connected with the possi-
BILE appointment of governor to succeed
Mr. Dole, Mr.. Carter was surprised to re-
ceive a personal letter from President
Roosevelt inviting him to make a state
ment of the situation on the islands. He
had never met Mr.. Roosevelt and die not
know that the chief executive was aware
of his existence.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt had
authoritatively denied that he had any
present intention Of making a change in
the Hawaiian administration. the rumors
caused much interest among the citizens Of
the islands.
The Presidents letter indicated that nc
expected Mr. Carter to write q statement
but the latter thought 1t preferable to see
the President in person. Mr. Carter
reached Washington Saturday night He
first called at the White House on Tues
day morning, and again last night when
the President gave him much time. and a
general discussion of Hawaii and Ha-
waiian affairs was had.
The result Of last nights conference was
that President Roosevelt today caused

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
DETROIT, Mich, March 6.-American
League magnates were late in recovering
this morning from the suddenness OF
the innovations made at yesterdays
meeting. The proposed advance In price
was sprung with suddenness, and but
for opposition of Detroit and Baltimore
1t is probable that general admission
would have been 90 cents. AS it is
with three prices it seems to suit most
of magnates, but Detroit patrons are
not satisfied. washington is normally
bO-cent town." said President Postal. land
the change suits all right. We will have
to change our stands somewhat, and / be-
lieve the 75-cent grand stand seats will be
well patronized. if the team Is in the race.
and Lotus says it will be there sure"
All managers excepting Detroit and
Cleveland have been making extravagant
claims. LOTUS counting a lot on his pitch
ers and his slugging outtield. which lie
says Is the peer of any Of them.
LOTUS will order players to report on
March 81 for practice at home, and first
exhibition games will be played in Wash

viii! play at Jersey City April 20. Other
games will be arranged to fill in.
The resolution to cut teams to fourteen
men on June l was to be secret, but 1t got
out. 1t Is estimated this will be enough
and will keep down expenses, necessa rily
high through many stars on teams. The
schedule Is perfectly satisfactory to Postal
and Lotus.

flying rules Of last year most likely and

TO ASSIST ASSESSOR.
Senate Passes Appropriation for Clerk
Hire

In the Senate today Mr.. Mcmillan intro
duced resolution appropriating $1,000 for
the hire of additional clerical assistance
by the assessor of the District to facilitate
the work of his office in complying with
the Senate resolution adopted February
10, 1902. providing that delinquent taxes
may. be settled by the payment Of 6 per
cent interest in lieu of fines and penalties
The resolution was adopted without de-
bate upon an explanation by Mr.. Nc
MILAN that the assistance was necessary
at once and that the resolution had been
acted on favorably by the committee on
the District of Columbia.
After a somewhat extended discussion by
the House District committee this morn
Ing MI jenkins was authorized to present
to the appropriations committee the need
OF an additional appropriation Of $1,000 to
provide for the employment OF two addi-
tional clerks in the office Of the tax COL
lector.
AS the clerks in the office Of the tax COL
lector and assessor are now working over
time on the triennial assessment list
work which is imperative, there is no one
TO fully attend TO the applicants who wish
to pay their back taxes. 1t is estimat ed
that from twenty to thirty such applicants
are turned away from the tax office every
day
