TAX ON HILLS IRON LANDS.
Minnesota to Raise Assessment From
$4,000, 900 to $4OO, 100000.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. December 24.-It devel-
oped yesterday that the iron ore property
recently leased by James J. Hill to the
United States Steel Corporation is to be
taxed by the state at $4OO. 600, 900. the price
Hill put upon 1t, and that in addition taxes
on this valuation will be levied for the last
six years.
Mr.. Hill has guaranteed to the United
States Steel Corporation the taxes on the
property and it's output, no matter what
the state may exact. There can be no
lodging these taxes for the reason that
]. ]. Hill testified as to the propertys value
recently before the state railroad commits
sion, and because the output of the mines
Is easily ascertainable.
1t is estimated that should the state sue
coed in collecting these taxes it woulH wipe
out all dividends to holders OF Great North
ern Iron Ore certificates for two years at
least, and make heavy inroads on future
dividends.
The difficulty heretofore has been in ar
irving at q valuation of these lands. This
question has now been settled by the testi-
mony Of Mr.. Hill on the witness stand and
by officers of the United States Steel Cor
poration, who place the valuation at from
$500 900 to 5000, 100000.
This property has paid taxes on an as
sessed valuation of about $3O,OOOOOO, and
it Is now the purpose of the authorities to
assess it at it's full admitted value and sue
for the delinquent portion for the last six
years.
The corporation tax law prohibits the
collection Of taxes further back than six
years.

NEW YORK, December A.-The quarters
of the officers and enlisted men on the
battleship Ohio were searched by customs
officials few days ago for oriental goods
supposed to have been Struggled into this
country in violation of the tariff law. The
battleship. in only a few weeks ago from
the far east, is at the New York navy yard,
getting ready to join the Atlantic fleet when
it assemblies in Hampton Roads. The men
on her have not yet recovered from their
surprise due to the unexpected visit of
Special Treasury Agent Ralph w. Clayton s
men.
Officers of the Ohio, while admitting yes
terday that the ship had been visited by
the customs officials, denied that anything
on board the vessel had been seized, and
characterized as preposterouS a report cur

got nearly $1,000 cigars, 5000 oriental
brushes and toilet articles, hundreds of
pieces of Chinese and Japanese bric-a-brac,

When H. c. Stewart, secretary to Nevada
n. Stranahan, the collector of the port, was
asked last night about the visit made by
Special Treasury Agent Clayton's men to
the Ohio, he replied that such visit had
been made, but that the collectors office
had not received the official report on the
outcome of the search.

NEW YORK, December 24.-There was

Several blows landed at once on the agi-

But Singer had other friends, and they
rushed to the rescue of the referee, and
despite the strenuous efforts Of the club 8

EASTON, Md, December 24.-The con-
vention Of the colored people of the Eastern
Shore Of Maryland and Delaware, which
has been in session in Asbury Methodist
Episcopal Church (colored) for the last
three days, closed today. It was one of the
most harmonious and best attended conven-
ttons ever held by negroes on the Eastern
Shore.
After singing and prayer by Rev. A. l..
Henry. pastor OF the church, yesterday even
ing, the last address Of the convention was
delivered by Rev. w. ]. Moore of Magnolia,

complishments and tendencies Of his race.

Rev. A. L. Henry, the promoter of the
convention. closed the session with a strong
plea to the parents present to compel their

HIS OWN SALE

CLEVELAND. Ohio. December 24.-The
sale Of Jim Delehanty to the st. Louis
Browns was engineered by the East Side
hoy himself. Dissatisfied with his berth
in Cincinnati last summer. Delehanty
started to look for place where the con-
titions were more congenial, and he has
succeeded In talking with Hanlon last
summer the Cleveland boy found out that
there was a chance of trade or sale to
some American League team, so Delahanty
engineered a conference with McAleer,
when the latter was here with the Browns.
After long discussion mutual agree
ment was reached. AS soon Hanlon
heard that Delahanty had gone ahead and
made his own deal the Cincinnati man
called 1t off, but 1t appears that Hermann
is willing to sell at the right price and at
the recent National League meeting when
waivers were obtained. and McAleer has
been able to get one of the members of

years Jim" has been anxious to get into

Theodosa could stand the pain and every

cided that yesterday should be her Christi

into his hands with happy smile.

COLLEGE ATHLETES
TO MEET SATURDAY

Christmas day Is one of the few holidays
of the year that is not turned into car
nival of sports The season precludes It.,
and while the trap shooters and associa-
ton foot ball players will take advantage
of the day. there will be little activity,
outdoors or In. this week. AS a matter
of fact. the closing days of 1906 will be
the quietest of the year in sporting circles.
Chief interest will center in the annual
meeting of the intercollegiate Athletic
Association OF the United States in New
York next Saturday. Every university and
college In the country should join this asso-
citation. which in one short year has done
SO much to raise the standard Of amateur
sport In the college world An important
reform has already been carried out, but
to do the most good the association should
grow to be thoroughly representative and
be to intercollegiate sports what the ANA
teur Athletic Union is to the athletic clubs
o. the country. The constitution Is SO
framed that no surrender of independence
Is required by an institution. but simply
a pledge to cooperate in a systematic eff
fort to control college athletic sports and
to secure their advantages without their
attendant evils. II Yale. Harvard, Prince

ENGLISH CROSS-COUNTRY
RUNNERS THE BEST

Warren E. Schutt the old Cornell rum
ner and now Rhodes scholar at Brasenose
College. Oxford. is home for the holidays
and has had a great deal Of interest to
say about English athletics as they per-
tain to university life.
In an interview which was published in
the Cornell Daily Sun he says:
Among American colleges Harvard Is
looked upon by Englishmen as heading the
list in all athletics. and when the Harvard
crew was defeated during the last season
it was supposed that they were the cham
pion oarsmen of America.
THE possibility of arranging an inter-
national class meet or cross-country race
seems rather remote. The English athletes
feel that the Americans should go to Eng
land to race, although it is really Oxford
and Cambridge's turn to come to America,
as the Yale-Harvard athletes went to Eng
land last year. The matter Of sending a
team to America was recently discussed
by Oxford and Cambridge, but they
reached the conclusion that the trip was
out of the question because of the expense
attached to It, Should sufficient induce
ment be offered. however. to pay the ex-
penses of the English runners. it Is prob
able that they would come to America.
Discussing the matter of which team
would be the probable winner in an inter-
national contest. Schutt Is of the opinion
that In a track meet the Americans would
be the certain winners. In a cross-country
race. however he believes that the English
runners would cross the line first. While
confessing to the possibility of prejudice,
the former Cornell runner gave his opinion
that the English spirit of athletic training
was far better than the American idea.
He said:
"a young English boy in preparatory
school starts cross-country work at the age
Of twelve or thirteen. and when he reaches
the university he is in high state OF de-
velopment. The English system of train
ing, being the same in all parts Of the
country, enables man entering one of the
universities to continue his training with
out unlearning many of the ideas he has
been given in preparatory school. The
English cross-country races also are far
more severe than American runs, the regu-
lation distance being eight miles and over
far rougher ground than American races
are run upon,"

there was only one little church for the
accommodation VI 6OueIuldnS, roles ana

The cardinal reached ST. Wenceslaus'
shortly before pm, after attending the
Knights Of Columbus entertainment to
orphans at the Lyric. He was driven to
the parish house, about half block from
the church, and was escorted to the latter
church, where were delegations of benevo-
lent societies in uniform. Among the So
cieties represented were the knights of St.
Wenceslaus. the ST. George Sharpshooters,
the Radecky Veterans and the st. Vitus'
