The State Board Of Taxation has fixed
June IS the date for the hearing Of the
Hoboksn tax appeals. Those who have
appealed from the assessments Of the
Hoboken assessors are the North Ger
pan Lloyd Dock Company, Hoboken
Ferry Company, Hoboken Land and Inn
prevement Company. and the Hamburg
American Line Terminal and Navigation
Company.
Much Interest is centered in the hear
Ing, as the companies mentioned own the
most valuable water front property in
Heboken. Recently the Hoboken assess
sess raised the assessed valuation on the
property many thousands Of dollars, and
the companies appealed to the State
Board on tbs ground that the assessment
was excessive.

HAY CAUTIONS CHINA
Secretary Takes Cognizance Of Russia
Complaint as to Neutrality.

Washington, JAM 17.-China' 8 atten-
tion has again been Indirectly invited
by the American government to the
necessity Of a faithful observance of
her neutrality, not only in her personal
interests, but in the interest of the
receipt Of the full text of Count Lams.
dorff's note expressing Russia g belief
that China 8 neutrality had been re-
peatedly violated, prepared instructions
for the American charge at Picking, dl-
recting him to make inquiry of-the Chi
nese government regarding the situa-
ton.
It is specifically declared that this
action cannot in any way be construed
sumed responsibility for the charges
made by Russia. Indeed, this govern
ment has received no information thru
it's legation at Picking nor thru the va
rious American consulates in China,
that the Chinese are violating the rules
of neutrals.
Nevertheless, in view of Russia g ex-
pressed anxiety over the situation IN
China, the American government is
ready to do what it can to save China
and the other neutral powers from the
far-reaching complications which it is
feared would follow an extension to
Chinese territory of the zone of hos
tilities. ~r.
This is the second time Secretary Hay
in a friendly spirit has urged on China
the advantages which strict observ-
ance of neutrality hold not only for
her people, but the remainder Of the
world.
In conversation last night; Mr.. Ia.
kahira, Japanese minister, reiterated
that Japan desired and intended, il
possible, to adhere strictly to her agree
ment to respect Chinese neutrality.
But he added, " if the Russian gen
erals invite them to Mongolia, our com
manders, under the circumstances, coulC
hardly be expected to refuse the invi
tation -

Der Of eminent citizens of st. Peters
burg, who have drawn up an address
to the car representing the uselcssness
of the war and urging that as the gov
eminent has not proved itself compe-
tent to carry the war to q successful
issue, it should not be allowed to con-
tinue to prove its incapacity. at the
cost of the blood and fears Of the ma
tion.
Address Largely Signed.
The address has been largely signed
by people of all classes in the capital
and principal towns of Russia.
The liberal paper Nasha Zhizn says
sent to Manchuria should return to
peaceful pun suits and the life Of Rus
STA resume it's normal course.
Advices from ST. Petersburg say it
has been limited in certain quarters that
the fall Of Port Arthur might possibly
render Russia more receptive to a pro
posal of mediation with view to the
termination Of hostilities.
, Answer Is: "No Peace.''
The answers by the Russian foreign
office to all inquiries on this subject
however, are in the negative. Russia's
position is defined as being today, the
same as it was in February last; thai
as Japan wantonly assumed the aggres
sive and forced Russia into the cam
paign, Russia can never agree to ter
inmate until Russia is victorious.
There is nothing, it is declared, TO:

SENATE WELCOMES
MITCHELL BACK
Indicted Oregon Senator Brands
His Accusers Malicious and
... Atrocious Liars.

Washington, Jan. l7.-While the
progress today, Mr.. Mitchell of Oregon
entered the chamber. It was his first
appearance since his indictment in con
nection with the Oregon land frauds,
and his entrance created evident in
terest.
Mr.. Mitchell took his customary seat
in the rear Of the chamber and was
Immediately surrounded by other SEN
ators who shook his hand warmly and
gave him assurance of confidence in his
innocence. The welcome was SO hearty
and so general that the senator was
nearly overcome, so that when a few
moments later he rose to speak it was
difficult for him to proceed on account
of emotion. His voice soon cleared and
he had the undivided. attention of all.
The scene was impressive. ~ :.
AT the outset the senator declared
that the charges made against him, il
true, untitled him to occupy his seat
| In the senate. He then detailed the
| charges and said:
I assert In the most positive and un-
| qualified manner that each and every
one Of these charges in so far as they re-
| late to or involve me are absolutely, I'M
qualifiedly and atrociously false, and I
j here and now indignantly and deiantly
denounce their authors, and each and
every one of them, and brand them pub
licly as malicious and atrocious liars.
| But I desire to be more specific, and,
| therefore, I further deny In terms, the
| most absolute and unqualified Of which
I am capable of using, that I never, either
in the month of January, 1902, in the
state Of Oregon, or at any other time or
place, unlawfully or feloniously, or other
wise, conspired with Binger Hermann,
then commissioner Of the general land
office, and s. A. D. Puter, Horace G.
Mckinley, D. w. Tarpley, Emma L. Wat
son, Salmon B. Ormsby, Clark e. LOOMS

any of them, or with any other person
or persons to defraud the United States
out of any part of it's public lands To-
Gated either in township II south, OF
range east, in the state Of Oregon
or any other public lands either in the
state of Oregon or elsewhere:
Mr.. Mitchell g statement consumed
about three-quarters of an hour. To
ward the close, his voice was broken by
sobs and he was compelled to frequently
dry his eyes with his handkerchief
Many other senator's were visibly af
fected. =
When the senator concluded there wa
a renewal of handshaking and assur
ances on the part Of senators, while i
,, was necessary for the presiding office
to use the gavel to suppress applause il
! the galleries. When the reception ter
minated Mr.. Mitchell resumed his seat

Work of Rescue and Relief Is

Christiania. Norway, Jan. 17.-,-Fifty-
nine persons persisted as the result Of an
avalanche of rocks at Naesdal, north OF
Bergen, Sunday.
A mass of rocks was suddenly precipi-

rounding hills, causing an immense waye
twenty feet high, which swept the
neighboring shores. Houses, people
and cattle were swept away by the
rush of water, and it is known that if
ty-nine persons persisted.
Thus far only four bodies have been
recovered. A great storm today stopped
the relief work. The surrounding dis
