The Association Will Not Treat With the League Till Kelly's Contract is Annulled. The white wings of the peace angel droop worse than ever today in the muggy base ball atmosphere. The peace conference, at which it was ex- pected the hatchet would be buried, is “off,” ‘and the association has declared its intention to have no farther dealings with the league until Kelly's recent contract with Boston has been annulled. Alletter was sent to the league delegates at the Arlington this morning by Messrs. Kramer, Phelps and Von der Ahe, for the association, announcing this determination in plain terms. No reply came, and Mr. Kramer, anxious to return to Cincinnati in time for his wifo's birthday celebration, took the 10 o'clock train for the west. Phelj remained here and he and Von der Ahe ‘& meeting of the asso- ciation, which was held at the Randall Hotel at noon. es PLENTY OF APPLICANTS. But Health Officer Hamnmett Says There ‘Will Be but Few Changes. Office seekers are plentiful about the health office just now, and Health Officer Hammett has enough applications on file to fill an ordi- nary government department. ‘The applicants, as a rule, have an eye on some particular office, while many of them are willing to accept anything from a clerkship to the place now held by Orlando King, whose duty it is to keep the building clean and run errands. Dr. Hammett said this morning that no changes had been made this week. The resignation of Medi- cal Sanitary Inspector Dr. Demarest has not yet been handed in, although it has been re- quested to take effect September 1. Dr. W. M. Osborne has been mentioned as the probable successor of Dr. Demarest. Dr. Linn, who is also an inspector. but who bas been doing clerical duty in the Permit office, has | tende his resig- nation to take effect the middlo of next month. His resignation was not re- quested, but the doctor thought that as he had been put on outside duty under the new admin- istration his services were not wanted. An- other thing that prompted him to resign was the fact that he wants to return to his home in Kansas shortly. Several names have been mentioned for this Porition,, but it is generally understood that . Edwin Gladmon will secure the prize. Itis thonght that no other changes will be made for several weeks. ees South Carolina’s Assessment. A Charleston, 8. C., dispatch says: In the special census bulletin issued Monday the state- ment is made that the assessed valuation of all property in South Carolina was $1,377,097 less in 1890 thaw in 1830. The controller general's report of this state gave tho total assessed value rty in 1880 as $195,062,834 and for 1890 as $150,602,457, an increase of more than $17,500,000. ' The new assessment this year will add $30,000,000 more to the assessed values of the state. 5 WHAT THE CENSUS OFFICE AATS. ‘The attention of the acting superintendent of the census being called to the statement telegraphed from South Carolina that there was no foundation for the figures showing value of real and personal property of that state in 1890 as published in bulletin No. 104, that oficer anys: “The bulletin shows pre- cisely the valuation | of real estate and rsonal property for year as re- ported to” office by ‘the several ry counties of the state and as published by the controller. It seems, however, from the report of that officer that in making up the total tax- able property of the state for 1890 there is in- cluded an additional sum of $17,905,913 value of railroad property which is not classed as real or property in the bulletin, the county reports or the of the controller. “Only « few states give any valuation to rail- road for taxation purposes and it is hot the intention of the census office to incl any such values as part of the assessed valua- 5 SHOOTING STARS. “We are having an epidemic of flees,” aid the city official when it was discovered that the treasurer was gone. ‘Oh see the big pump handle twitch!

Prof. G. Browne Goode road a paper which gave an interesting ‘account of the history of the association and ad- dresses were made by Prof. J. W. Powell, Hon. Edwin Willitts and others. ORIGINATED IN WASHINGTON. Prof. Goode in his paper said: The origin of the association is usually traced to the old As- sociation of Goologists and Naturalists, organ- ized in 1840 in Philadelphia. This is not strictly corrcet, for the society had two parents; ono, and perhaps that which had the most influence in shaping its character, the National Institu- tion for the Promotion’ of Science, orgai in Washington in 1840. This society, which was very powerful for a time, and national in its scope, in 1844 had 1,600 names upon its rolls. In 184 it organized in Washington the first national congress of scientific menever held in erica. President John Tyler, ex-President John Quiney Adams and John C. Spencer, Sec- retary of War, presided at the meetings, and nearly fifty papers of great value were rend. Immediately after this meeting the Association of Geologists began to expand its scope in a manner evidently greatly influenced by the Washington convention in 1944. When in 1848 the American Association was founded in Phil- adelphia one of the parent bodies contributed the first half of the name, viz.: “The American Association,” while the contributed the remainder: tion of Science.” Washington, nearly fitty years ago, was inaugurating the system of national congresses of learned societies, which {a now #o conspiouous a feature in ite intellect- fe. THE WORLD's FATR. After Mr. Goode had finished speaking Presi- dent Prescott introduced Mr. Clarence E. Young, the assistant secretary of the world’s congress auxiliary. Mr. Young said that “the object of the aux- ilinry was to provide places of meeting and other facilities for all appropriate organiza- tions to hold conventions in Chicago in 1898 for the discussion and consideration of tho living questions pending in their respective depart- ments. “We are to have educational congresses, scientific and philosophical congresses, temper- ance congresses, moral and social reform labor confreascs, literary congresses and law reform congresses; religions congresses, medical and surgical, commercial and financial, including bankers, boards of trado, railway commerce, water commerce and insurance; engineering congresses, agricultural congresses, a congress on arbitration and peace, and musical con- 8; artists’ congresses, in fact, there will convened in Chicago during the exposition season organizations of every conceivable kind. “The auxiliary has been recognized by Con- gross, its announcement m sent abroad by the Secretary of State, who 18 one of the honorary members. Hon. Charles C. Bonney, who is i leader of the legal profession in the west, is president. Hon. Thomas B. Bryan, the vice president of the exposition, is the vice presitent; Hon. Lyman J. Gago, ox- President of the exposition, is vies president, and Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, the secretar: and solicitor general of the exposition, is also the secretary of the auxiliary. “The woman's branch of the auxiliary has committees of women to the committees of men on all subjects appropriate for the partici- pation of women, and Mrs. Potter Palmer, the president of the board of lady managers of the exposition, who won such high honors in her advocacy of the cause of theexposition dur- ing the recent session of congress, is president les Henrotin is the vice president. “There will be erected on the shore of Lake Michigan near the great Auditorium Hotel, a memorial art building with a large auditorium, which will be devoted to the use of the world congresses of 1893." In closing his remarks Mr. Young hoped “that the American Association for the Ad- vancement of ii place in the scientific congresses of 1893, for by #0 doing,” said he, “‘you not only participate in what will be the greatest educational achieve- ment of the nineteenth century, but you will enable those who are growing up to trke your places in the future to be better prepared to prolit by the result of your. labor and thus be ter prepared to accomplish the solution of the intricate scientific an gresses.” President Prescott then made a brief address, and stated that while it was not within the power of this meeting to take any definite ac- tion, it would of course be presumed that when these congresses assembled in 1898 at Chicago the American association would be on band. AN UNUSUALLY SUCCESSFUL MEETING. An invitation was also received from Madison, Wis., to hold the meeting there in 1893. These in- vitations were laid over until nextyear. Secre- taryPutnam announceda fact which drewhearty applause from theaudience. He said the govern- ment of Honduras bad granted the museum at Cambridge, Mass., of which Prof. Putnam curator, the exclusive right to explore the scientific resources of that country for aperiod of ten years, and read a statistical table which showed that in point of attenaance and literary features tho session just closed was an unusually successful one. ——.__ philosophical con- COL. H. M. TAYLOR DISAPPEARS. His Denver Friends Fear He is = Victim of Foul Play. A Denver, Col., dispatch to the New York Times today says: “Where is Col. H. M. Tay- lor? This is a queation that is being gen- erally asked by the numerous friends of that gentleman. Col. Taylor is one of the best known stockmen im the western country, and was for five years agent of the national bureau of animal industry. He has for years been identified with tho stock interests of the west- ern country. He left Denver the Ist of July to go to Wash- ington, D. ©., to see Secretary Rusk about the release of the large number of cattle that were tied up by the Secretary's order regarding the driving of range cattle. July 18 hé wrote Sec- reiary Newell of the chamber of commerce that he had accomplished his purpose and would be in Denver in a few days, but would first stop at the Astor House in New York. He asked Mr. Newell to write to him. Mr. Newell wrote to New York, care of the Astor House, as directed, but received no reply, and last Friday his letter was returned. in: dorsed “Not claimed.” This letter was written July 17, and had Col. Taylor been at New York, as vax anticipated, he would no doubt have re- ceived it. ‘Mr. Head also wrote to New York, but received no answer, and he hnd become’ very uneasy when the letter written by Mr. Newell was returned.

Death's Ghastly Work on a Vessel Loaded ‘With Coolies. Cmicaco, August 26.—A dispatch from San Francisco says: Advices from Singapore state that the steamer Namchow sailed from that port with 800 Chinese coolies for the Penang market. The officers were Chincse, with the excoption of half a dozen Europeans. While ateea cholera broke out among the Chinese. The sick crowded in the cabins, where a Pres- byterian minister and one lady passenger had taken refuge. After a terrible hurricane the cholera continued to spread and deaths be- came very numerous. At first each victim was cast into the sea with a bar of pig iron in the tack. Soon, however, the dead were mostly thrown overboard without ceremony. The death roll grew alarming, and no less than sixty bodies were thrown into the sca. The supcrcargo had supreme control and insisted upon heaving overboard all effects of the dead. Under threats thecaptain upon arrival atSinga- pore reported only six deaths to the harbor master, three from influenza and three from ‘want of opium and general debility.” Many engers were landed and no quarautine being lared proceeded to Penang with the resi Of the infected cargo and crew. In four days nine cascs of cholera developed in Singapore, all traced to the steamer chow. On the steamer's voyage back from Penang, after Janding 200 coolies, the first European victim, the third engineer, an Englishman, succumbed to the terrible disease. When tho Namchow arrive? at Sing the health officer was on the lookout and sent. the vessel into quaran Mr. Perry said that in making his argument yesterday he was reported as stating that testi- mony had been taken as to properties further than he intended—to Rockville and the Great Falls—when, in point of fact, the Palisades of the Potomac in one direction and Kensington in another were the farthest points. He made this statement in justice to the commission. ‘Mr. James C. Sprigg was cxlled by the gov- ernment and he testified that he acted for Mr. John R. Dos Pussos in the purchase of the Swart lant, treating with Mr. Goff. AN OBJECTION MADE. Mr. Wm. Stone Abert for Mr. Dos Passos objected on the ground that the evidence should be as to the present value and it was not mate- rial as to what was paid for the land four years ‘go or over. ir, Perry elaimed that he was entitled to the testimony as to what was paid for the land in 1887; that the caso was full of testimony as to what owners had paid for the land at similar and more remote periods. The recitation of the consideration in the deed was not an estop- pel on the government, but only on the parties to the deed. Mr. Wilson said the deed was introduced as to title and not as to the amount paid. Mr. Perry said that he called Mr. Sprigg to Prove the amount paid, and he was met with the objection that it could not be proved be- cause the deed was in evidence. Mr. Wilson then argued that the question was as to the value of the land,and that the consider- ation in the deed was not involved. ‘Mr. Peiry read an authority and asked if Mr. Wilson objected to it. Mr. Wilson replied that he did. Mr. Abert—The statute of limitations inter- venes here. Mr. Wilson said he would take time to argue and present authorities on the point. Mr. Perry continued ing authority, claiming that it was perfectly competent to take the testimony; that sales seventeen years back had been considered with the subsequent change of values. There had been no testimony as to Mr. Dos Passos’ land valuation save the recitation in the deed. ‘THE EVIDENCE ADMITTED. The commission decided to admit the evi- dence and Mr. Abert excepted to the ruling. Mr. Sprig said that he purchased the land for 253,125 on May 25, 1837, the deed calling for 173.67 acres, of which 3i¢ acres had been conveyed to the government for a road. Mr. Sprigg produced the original contract by Mr. Goff with himself. Mr. Abert objected, as Mr. Dos Passos’ namo was not in it. Mr. Sprigg testified he was acting for Mr. Dos Passos, but he knew nothing personally as to the deeds to Mr. Morris and from hira to Mr. Dos Passos, for Mr.Goff attended to the details. ‘The sale required two or three months. Witness produced a number of letters from Mr. Dos Paseos, and Mr.Abert, after examining the same, objected, claiming that they were but part of the correspondence. SEVERAL LETTERS READ. Mr. Perry read the letters, one directing Mr. Sprig to go one and close the matter the same as it he was present, one of March 31, 1887, suggesting that Mr. Spigg have Mr. Swart and his wife sign the contract, one writing that he would be in the city on Saturday and asking that the matters be arranged to close up, one on May 23 stating he conld not be here on May 25 to ciose up the matter, and one of May 27 in reference to a bank notice and suggesting that the farm be rented monthly to Mr. Swart. Mr. Abert objected to the whole of this testi- mony. : Mr. Sprigg said the contract set out the fall consid-ration for the property, $53.125, and he made the cash payment of $20,000, the rest be- ing in notes. XR. GOLDSBOROUGH AGATX. Mr. Goldsborough resumed the stand and was farther cross-examined by Mr. Wilson. It was but a week ago he received the paper with the list of offers from Mr. Perry, but after looking over it lost it. He had looked over the maj and spoke of his general. knowledge of round in estimating the value. He had used the paper in reference to the names of the owners. Mr. Goldsborough was examined as to his knowledge of the several parcels with a view to show that he was acquainted with the bound- aries and features, some of which he could not describe with particularity. He had testified as justified by the con- to his general’ krow f; tour map showing the boundaries and the ele- vations, but had made no examina- tion an to building sites and timber in the par- cel The lands in the northwest in which he was interested were not in the market.
