Sometimes the weight goes up
that way when taking SCOTS Emul-

SCOTS Emulsion brings everv-

strong digestion, rich blood, new

power to get all the good out of ordi-

APPLICATION REFUSED.
Opinion of City Solicitor Regarding
Cancellation Asked rFor.

Cancellat10m H8keQ tFOP.
Mr. A. B. Duvall, the. city solicitor has
rendered an opinion to the Commissioners
in the case of Mary e. Suter, who applied
for cancellation of tax sale of property
owned by her, made to satisfy an assess
ment for paving an alley. 1t was claimed
that the Commissioners were without au-
thority to reassess in this case, because the
original assessment was levied without any
advertisement of notice of intention to do
the work; and that this was not techni-
cal but substantial defect insthe original
assessment, which was squashed. The So
licitor says on this point that the Court of
Appeals has ruled otherwise in a similar
case 1t was also claimed that the tax sale
was invalid because the property should
have been advertised for sale within two
years after the date of the reassessmeut
On this point the solicitor says:
THE owner was personally served with
notice of this reassessment, and she was
therefore, fully advised of the necessity of
the payment thereof. The act OF Congress
imposes no penalty upon failure to sell the
property for the unpaid assessment ut the
expiration of the two years from the date
of service of notice thereof; and am of the
opinion that the delay In this case In adycr-
tising the property for sale did not affect
the validity of the reassessment, and that
the tax sale of said lot was not erroneous
ly made and that the present application
should be refused"

FOR PROVIDENCE HOSPITAL.
Senator Stewart Proposes an Additional
Appropriation of 100000.

Senator Stewart yesterday introduced a
proposed amendment to the sundry civil
appropriation bill appropriating 100000
for the reconstruction of the Providence
Hospital building and the furnishing of a
nurses home.
The measure is accompanied by a letter
from the board of visitors and the medi-
cal staff of the hospital, asking for the
appropriation. and stating the grounds
on which the request is made.
The statement is made that the present
building is unsafe, and not nearly large
enough for the growing needs of the hos
pital. The Building Inspector, 1t is said,
has announced that portion of the build
ing must be rebuilt. and in addition he
has ordered that the crowded condition Of
the Railways must be relieved.
With regard to the nurses home, for
which Congress appropriated $4,000 last
year. 1t has been found that the sum is
insufficient, as an additional story is
necessary.

New STEP TO EXPEDITE
: CHINESE EXCLUSION
Il Oh
-OFF -
Senate Bill Substituted for
House Measure.
Proposed Law as Amended Goes Direct
to Conference Committee-May be
Acted Upon Without Delay.

The Senate, late yesterday afternoon, on
motion of Senator Platt, took up the
House Chinese exclusion bill and amended
it by striking out all after the enactiug
clause and inserting the Senate bill.
The measure was then passed and there
is no longer any Senate bill in name, and
no House bill in fact
An Unexpected Move.
The move was entirely unexpected.
The proposition was made on Thursday
after the passage of the Senate bill, but
it was not followed. and it was generally
supposed that the Senate measure would
go to the House.
The plan adopted is recognized as much
go to conference committee and may be
disposed of there very quickly.
Much Time Saved.
If the other course had been taken the
Senate bill would have had TO go to the
House committee and frcm there to the
House for action. In view of the short
time remaining before the Geary law ex-
pires the former plan is considered more
satisfactory in every way.
The statement is made that the Chi
nesc exclusion bill. as it now stands, is
satisfactory to the Chinese exclusion ad-
vocates of the House. except in that it
does not keep Chinese sailors off Ameri-
can ships. Representative Kahn of Cali
fornia will not, however, insist on this
provision. it is said.
