sessment Of Railroad Property.

I)es Monies. la, Jnne %. The exec.
utive council may add 5,000,000 to the
assessed valuation of the railroad prop.
erty of the state this year. Consider,
able discussion has been given the mat
ter of late by others than members OF
the executive council and the $4,000, 0OC
proposed increase is being estimated
ON the basis of the claims OF the rail
road supporters of George ID. Perkins
that the railroad property has not been
raised when the increase in the farm
valuation is taken into consideration.
This claim has been made by numerous
railroad representatives, by Hon. James
a. Berryhill and L,fe Young and nu-
merous others. The executive council
has meyer heretofore added more than
s., oo 3333 a63, which was added in 1903. the

seatatives of the railroads and amy 9TH
ers who wish 10 appear may have an
opportunity To present their side of the
arguments. For years the railroad rep
resentatives have been arguing To the
executive council that the assessment
WAS too high. During the campaign
now nearly closed the claim has been
made that 6'ummins has not raised the
assessment enough.
Coupled with the claims Of the rail-
road representatives of Perkins CAM
paisn that the assessment has never
been raised enough there is the reports
of the railroads To the executive council
this year which show that the gross
and net earnings of the roads i'm this
state have increased the last year more
than ever before which is further war

assessment this year. Comparing the
claims OF the railroad representatives

that have been made in the past and
the reports of the railroads this year
the estimate Is made shat an increase

THEY'RE ALL IN JAIL.
Those Opposed to President Caceras Of
San Domingo Are Safe.

New York. May 2s.-The Tribune to-
day says:
Fabio Fiallo, consul general Of santa
Domingo in this city, denied yesterday
the existence of an insurrection IN his
country as has been reported and said
that none was likely.
According to Senior FiallO the only
military chiefs opposed to President
Caceras, who have any following are
in prison. The men, he said, who would
like to depose the present chief execu-
tive of the Dominican republic are ad
venturers, who hope to get their hands
on the 81 800 600 now deposited in the
National City bank for the payment Of
the Dominican foreign debt and which
will be returned to that government 81
case the United States senate does not
pass the Santo Domingo treaty.
It was learned also yesterday that
General Juan Tstdro Jiminez ex-presi-
dent of Santo Domingo, whose name too
figures in the reported revolutionary
plans when recently in this country,
filed a communication with the state
department at Washington, asking the
Intervention of this government by
supervising the elections in the repub-
lie He asked that an additional gov
ernor be appointed for each of the IL
provinces so that a fair count could be
had. The state department Of course,
took no action on this request.
Jiminez sailed subsequently for Porto
Rico, where he is said to be awaiting
an opportunity to descend on Santo Do
mingo and land an instruction.

ments. The expense of the inspection
is to be borne by the owners and q fine
of $4,000 and imprisonment for two

discussion of the provision for a govern
rnent inspection of grain. Senator Nc
Cumber made an effort to have the
measure so amended as to require the
issuance of certificates Of such inspec-
ton but failed. A number of other bills
were passed during the day

WALL STREET HAS RECOVERED
Breaking of the Southwest Drouth a
Helpful Factor.

New York, May 26.=Prices in. Wall
street sagged in the dull and profess
sional market of the early part Of the
week. but recovered sharply under the
lead of the coalers later. The absence
Of strain on the San Francisco banks
upon their reoDening gave confidence
that large sums would be promptly re-
turned from there to eastern bank re-
serves. The opening of French capt.
tai resources to American needs by
the placing in Paris Of a Pennsylvania
bond issue was taken as an important
development.
Confidence in the money outlook re-
suited Notwithstanding the large sub
scriptions coming due on capital is
sues and the further heavy issues
known to be in contemplation. The
brea king of the drouth in the south
west was helpful factor IN the

NEGLECT THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
President Horton of Unitarian Society
Talks of Conditions.

Boston, May 26.=In the absence of
Rev. Edward A. Horton, president OF
the Unitarian Sunday School society,
his annual report was read at the con-
vention of the society yesterday. It
said in part:
better training of ministers in Sunday
school methods and aims. There are
clergymen who are apparently indif-
ferent to this department of the
church. but the cause lies greatly in
a feeling of unfitness which would
have been removed by proper training
in the divinity schools"
President Horton was reelected.
The Vice presidents chosen include
Charles A. Murdoch of San Francisco.
