BERLIN, Sept. 18.—~The German forelgn office has received a note from the British government defining some action of the signatory powers of the treaty of 1878 re- garding Roumania’s treatment of Jews. The British note is similar to the United States’ note on the same subject and it has the same tone. The United States’ action Is regarded ae being quite within the nation’s rights in seeking the assistance of the- signatories In preventing an influx of indigent fmmi- grants which is recognized as a substan- tial grievance. These two notes will re- sult in an interchange of views between the powers as to what action is feasible. In the meantime it is expected that Rou- mania will take cognizance of the United States’ protest and defend its case upon its own initiative before the signatories. The foregoing represents the views of the German government, but the press, knowing nothing of the British note, seems to consider the United States' ac- tion as eimply chivalrous and as not Mkely to result in practical measures. The Vos- | #ische Zeitung says that while thinking the United States' note cannot have a' strong moral effect, adding perhaps, Is its purpose. The United States does not need the protection of Europe against pauper immigration ae ¥t alrea. has legislation sufficient to keep out un- desirable immigrants. What the United States aimed at, therefore, was an expres- slon of fts feellng of humanity, which, notwithstanding its novelty, is an agree- able thing to see. Humane Promise Unfulfilled. fail to ““That, The Vossische Zeltung publishes a letter from Bucharest, Roumania, saying that emigration continues and that the Rou- manian government, in passing the law on.the subject, promised to adopedminis- trative measures that would mitigate harsh- ness, but this, the correspondent affirms, was not fulfilled. The Post says' ‘““The Roumanian Jews have mighty protectors. It is not long ago that certain financial circles threatened to depress Roumanian securities unless the government was more pliant toward the Jews. This failed and now the Jews have the support of the United Btates. We do not know what attitude the signers of the Berlin treaty will take toward the note, but we know that all talk of persecution of the Jews comes from incorrect suppositions as to what the new law {s.” The Post also as- serts that this applies equally to all sects and races. Another Side of the Case. LONDON, Sept. 18.—In a dispatch from Bucharest, Roumania, dated September 14, a correspondent of the Daily Expres ys the emigration fever among the Jews of Roumania still continues and that within the last three wonths 4,000 Jews have left tho country. “Tonight,” the correspondent goes on, “‘a party of 350 left for Canada and the United States and small parties of Jews leave the Although the reason given by the emigrants for leaving is their inabllity to obtaln work, the Jews steadily refuse to take up farm labor. Proof of this is found in the fact that within the last three years Roumania has paid for outside Bulgarian labor some- thing like $3,000,000, which might have gone to the Jews if they would only turn thelr hands to the light labor of harvesting. Bul- garfan laborers are well housed and excel- lently fed while working on Roumanian farms.” PROGRAM FOR G. A. R.

CONGER IS TAKING VIGOROUS ACTION Prince Ching Sends Copy of Imperial Edict to American Minister and Promises to Quell the Rebellion, WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—~China is on the verge of another Boxer uprising which may equal that of 1800, according to mall advices received at the State department from Min- ister Conger, dated last month, The troubles appear to arise principally from extortionate taxation, combined with resentment against the presence of mission- aries, thus justifying the judgment of the Department of State, which pointed out to the powers that the demand for excessive indemnities would result in serious internal troubles in China. Mr. Conger's first advice bears date of August 6, from Pekin, and he reports seri- ous anti-foreign riots near Chentu, in the province of Czechuan, in which a number of | native Christlans had been mae chapels destroyed. Mr. Conger appears to have acted with emergy upon telegraphic complaints from Dr. Canright, an American medical missionary at Chentu, not only ad- | dressing the Chinese foreign office by letter, but calling there in person to impress upon the officials the importance of an immediate and effective action, and finally succeeding in causing the removal of the local Chinese | officials who had falled to repress the riots | and preserve life and property. Mr. Conger incloses with his report the communication that passed between him- | self, Dr. Canright and the foreign office. | Under date of June 20, from Chentu, Dr. Canright telegraphed: “Czechuan repeating (troubles of) nine- teen hundred. Chapel burned, ten Chris- tians killed. Boxers (have been) multiply- ing (for) four mouths. Officials taxed.” Conger Deman: Mr. Conger immediately telegraphed Dr. Canright to demand adequate protection for missionaries and the native Christians from the local officlale. He also addressed a note to Prince Ching at the forelgn office, stating that there were several American missionaries and many chapels and con- verts in Czechuan and that it was necessary that immediate provision be made to stamp out these troubles at their very inception. In his answer Prince Ching encloses a copy of the following imperial edict: ‘Some time ago & number of local out- laws were banded together in the district of Tze Yang and made trouble, whereupon 1 dispatched troops to disperse them. The ieading criminal, Li Kang Chung, and oth- ers were arrested and executed, but now the magistrate of the place, Ma Cheng Chl, reports that at the T'Ch-Ku-Chiao in his district outlaws over 1,000 strong suddenly made a night attack and destroyed a church which the British or American soclety had built. The preacher, Chu-Lu-Engwi, and four church members were also killed. They also burned some houses and killed two Christians. 1 sent troops in all haste and deputed besides an official, with rank of taotl, to proceed with braves to attend to this. Fierce and Lawless Outbreaks. “Such fierce and lawl outbreaks should certainly be quickly put down. They must on no account be allowed to spread. We command Kwel Chun to strictly order the troops to disperse the rebels and their fol- lowers, to seize the ringleaders and to pun- ish them according to the rigor of the law, and so nip the rebellion in the bud. ‘We feel a great pity for the missionary Protection. fault of theirs, have lost thelr lives, and command that adequate relief may be at once glven. “As for Ma Cheng Chi, the maglstrate ot Tze Yang, who, it {s eald, has not long been In the office, because he was remiss in taking precautionary measures we de- mand that he be removed from office and that he be given a limited time within which to capture the criminals. ““As there may be outlaws In other places who rouse the suspicion of people, spread rumors and make trouble, the local au- thorities should be sternly instructed to such things, to take special precautions so as to get rid of bad Chinese and to en- courage the law-abiding people. They must glve protection to the chapels and mis- sioparies without the least remissness, “‘Besides sending a telegram to the vice- roy of Szechuan that he should at once carry out the imperial will as In duty bound, we have reverently copled the edict and sent It for your excellency’s informa- tion.

Another dispatch from the Forelgn office to Mr. Conger, dated July 15, states that the viceroy reported that the missionary Killed was & Chinese, and that quite a num- ber of leading Boxers had been captured and punished, and a sharp lookout was be- ing kept for those still at large. Mr. Conger again had occasion to addr the Foreign office on July 30, Informing them that Dr. Canright had agaln reported that robberies and massacres were cccur- ring daily, that all were in great danger nd that he had demanded protection In vain. The minister urged the Forelgn office to take more effective measures. “in order to avold the fearful responsibility of & further loss of life and property." The Forelgn office replied that several edicts had been issued directing the viceroy to suppress the troubles. It had received a telegram from that officlal etating that the rebel, Hsiung Ching He of Jen Chou Hsian, made his appearanc suddenly at the head of & crowd and burned a chapel and some thirty odd houses early in that moon, and also killed a Christian. They also committed other outrages, whereupon the viceroy dispatched troops to the scene, who killed some twenty or more people The leader of the riot was also captured and orders were given to have him be- headed and his head exposed The rebels at other points were also at- tacked by the government troops and routed Three or four hundred of them were killed The judge of the province reported that there was no need for the missionaries to seek temporary refuge.

Assossm FRANCHISES TAXABLE THOUGH NOT TAXED Must Be Taken Inte @ensideration as Well as Tangible Preperty, MARKET VALUE AN IMPORTANT FACTOR Opinton of Court in Effect wessment is All Right, Not Do 1t That Way A (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 18.—(Special Telegram.) ~In a sixty-page opinion filed this morning the supreme court denies the appMeation for a mandamus asked by the Bee Bullding company against the State Board of Bqual- ization. The court holds that as the board 18 legally constituted a special tribunal for the purpose of assessing raflroad and tele- graph property it is clothed with quasi ju- diclal powers, and when it has once acted on eufficient information and expressed an honest judgment as to valuation its judg- ment cannot be controlled by the writ of mandamus, which is a writ to compel action and not to correct action. The court holds that in the case at bar under the evidence the inference is mnot warrantable that the respondents acted with improper motives and fraudulently in mak- ing the assessment complained of, with the wrongful intention of discriminating in tavor of the railroad and telegraph com- panies whose property was assessed. An assessment may be treated as fraudulent when well known rules of valuation are dis- regarded, where reliable and pertinent in- formation ls declined and an arbitrary sessment at grossly inadequate figures made. The court holds, however, that the Board of Equalization must include and aesess the value of franchises with the tangible prop- erty, but that where it assesses the prop- erty of a rallroad as a unit and considers the purposes for which it is used, the fact that it is earning an fncome and exercising the rights of such corporation, such ass ment would include the intangible property also and be an assessment of its tranchise. Tu this case the frauchises weie assessed. It is held, too, that the market value of a rallroad's stocks and bonde are an {mportant factor to determine cash value of the prop- erty represented by those stocks and bonds, and that the earnings is evidence of a most important character in determining the true value of the property, is one of the chief elements that give it value and should be considered in making the final assessment. Syliabus or the Case. Following is the syllabus of the opinion: aku'l‘a of Nohn_-l:: .3 rel. Th M’Buufld- s o 5 Gesil 1. Pleading construed ll\l“llld to rubm an fssue of fraud in regard to thi ans ner of making the assessment complained of, 3 It Is the duty of the State Board of Equalization to value ana aesess for pur- poses of taxation all rallroad and telegraph properties of all kinds within the state, with the exceptions mentioned in sections 8 and 4 of the revenue act, 3. In assessing property for taxation the dominant idea of the organic law is that needful revenues shall be raised by levy- ing & tax on property by valuation In such manner that every owner of property sub- ject to taxation shall pay taxes in prepor- tion_to the v of the property owned. 4. The word “properly’ as used in the constitution is a generic term and includes all property of whatever ~description, whether tangible or intangible, 5. Whila the revenue act provides for the sment for tax purposes of all prop- erty at its fair cash'value, the court will take judiclal notice of the fact that for general reveenue furposes the ndard of valuation generally prevaijing is tar bo- low the actual cash value of the property assessed, 6 In observing the constitutional rule of uniformity, property which escapes taxes altogether ‘can not be taken Into account in determining the standard of valuation of property actually listed, or assessed on which taxes are le 7. The State Board of Equallzation, | the asmessment of rallyoad and teleg¥aph properties should include In its assessment the value of the franchise with the tangi- bie property assessed, What to Consider. ment of rallroad and tele- , the Btate Board of jua zation may consider not only the required to be made by sections 3 and 40, but also all other information of a reliable character obtainable, which may tend to estabiish the true value of the property assensed. ¥. The provisions of sectlo; revenue act requiring the the capltal stock of the therein named, at its actual | deducting therefrom the value of i estate and personal property of such co poration assessed as such, are not appll able to the assessment made by the Sta Board of Equalization, of the propertics of railroad and telegraph companies. 10. Sections 3 and 40 of the revenue act embrace the tive plan and method of & raph prope. ties which are complete within themselves and capable of enforcement independent of the provisions of sevtion 32. 11 In assessing raliroad and telegraph property, it i the duty of the State Board of Equalization to secure all res and necessary rellable information re to the value of the entire property of each corporation assessed and assess such prop- erty as a unit or ws one property. 12. In determining the value of the prop- erty asses 1t is the duty of the board to consider all factors having the elements of property, whether tangible or intan, which enhance the value of the estate, and value such property for ment purposes so that the valuation thereon shall harmonize with the cong tional rule of uniformity. 13. Where railroad and telegraph prop- erties are situated In more than one state, it is necessary to cousider and determine the value of the whole property wherever situated as an enflrfll" and then determine, what proportion of the whole property is situated and used in this state and subject to taxation therein, the relation such part bears to the whole property as to its value belng the basis on which the &ssessment is to be made. Stoeks and Bonds, 14. The market lue of the stocks and bonds of a rallroad corporation is an im. portant factor with other pertinent in- formation by which to determine the falr cash value of the property assessed which {s represented by such stocks and bonds 15. The earnings of a railroad company is evidence af a most important chardcter in determining the true value of the prop- erty from which the earnings accrue and is one of the chief elemenis which give value to the property and should be con- sidered in determining the value for as- Reasment purposes of the entire corporate property which is assessed 16.
