KANSAS CITY, Sept. 3.—James Mooney, the district leader, who Is regarded as responsible for the Novinger coal strike, is asserted to be holding out against John Mitchell to further his alleged aspirations for the presidency of the United Mine Workers of America. Mooney has, it iIs said, worked at cross- purposes with President Mitchell ever since before the Pittsburg, Kans., con- ference two months ago, when Mitchell went so far as to tell Mooney to sit down and keep still. In any event, the situation In the Novinger district prom- ises to supply an interesting fight. Now that the miners there have violated the agreement reached by President Mitchell and the miners at Chicago recently, the operators say they will make no effort to conciliate the strikers. The operators, furthermore, have told the national board of the United Mine Workers that they expect the hoard to control its own men and that if they fail to do so they will be unable to deal with the officers of the natlonal organization at the Kansas City conference next week, when, it was hoped, all differences would be wiped out. Thus the situation has developed into a question of authority. If the men still refuse to work after Vice President Lewis | of Bridgeport, Ohio, who has been sent into the fleld by President Mitchell, talks with the strikers, the next move, it is said,"may be the suspension of Mooney and the local unions involved. pROSAT o0 MAKES DEMAND FOR TROOPS.

R, Sacramento Officials Declare There Have Been No Booms. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 3.—Assessor C. E. McQuald and other officials of Sutter County were examined by the State Board of Equalizetion this morning. Mr. McQuald said that land values in his county have greatly decreased, the prin- cipal cause being, he said, the evil re- sults of hydraulic mining. The assessed valuation of Sutter County in 1902 was $5,867,020. This year it is $6,020,18. The population of Sutter County in 18%0 was 5469; in 1900 it was 5856. A. E. Morton, Assessor, and other offi- cials represented Butte County. The total assessed valuation of the county in 1902 ‘was $18,065,117. The valuation for 1903 was fixed at $13,595,845. M. T. Brittan, District Attorney of Yuba County, appeared as the representative of the county, in the absence of its Asses- #or. According to the Auditor’s figures, the county’s valuation is fixed for this year at $5,301,030. Last year the assessed valuation was $5,091,575. County Assessor T. H. Berkey, Deputy Assessor B. J. Kay and Supervisor Bd Meister appeared on behalf of Sacramento County. According to the figures sub- mitted by County Auditor R. T. Cohn, the assessed valuation of the county in 1902 was as follows: Real estate, $10,622,330; town lots, $8,398,170; improvements on real estate, $1,633,740; improvements on town lots, $7,504,380; unknown owners, $33,450; personal property, $4,642,140; money, etc., $524,740. Total, $33,448,950. This year's valu- ation was fixed at 3$34,650,120. Assessor Berkey said there had been no booms in Sacramento County. In the last ten years the Legislature has released from taxation all the reclamation dis- tricts, churches and municipal bonds. ‘There are more diversified interests in Sacramento County at the present time than there were some years ago. Graln land is assessed from $12 50 to $50 an acre: fruit land, $40 to $225; fruit trees, $15 to | $75 per acre, according to the charge of | the trees; vine land is assessed at from $15 to #0 an acre; hop land from $40 to | $200 an acre; orange land, $50, and the | trees at $0 an acre. The highest assess- ment on city property was about $400 a front foot.

Make Raid in Honolulu and Seize Set of Incriminat- ing Books. HONOLULU, Sept. 3.—The Federal au- thorities have been working for many months to break up the trade in Japanese women, who are brought here practically as slaves. For some time past the of- ficers have been endeavoring to learn the secret of the remarkable operations of the men engaged in this traffic and have TRAIN ROBBERS ON THEIR GUARD Steer Clear of Special Carrying Force of Detectives. Abandon Design to Hold Up Express Loaded Down With Valuables. MISSOULA, Mont.,, Sept. 3.—A special train loaded with Pinkerton detectives and railroad detectives preceded Na. 1, the North Coast limited, over the No#th- ern Pacific tracks from Livingston to Missoula last night and went ahead to. Spokane. The special was literally a traveling army, as in a box car at.the | rear were forty horses, bridled and -sad- just been rewarded by the discovery of | gled, and a Gatling gum. an organization of extraordinary scope which has existed among resort proprie- tors in these islands for a long time. The organization is a secret one, regularly or- ganized, with a president and an execu- tive board and with a set of by-laws. The Federal officers by careful watch- ing managed to locate the headquarters of the soclety and seized among other things a complete set of books, showing the status of the association in all its phases. Among the books is a membership roll, with a complete list of the members of the soclety. Anothgr book, and probably the most important of those seized, shows that the soclety has a fund of large pro portions devoted to the defense of miem- bers arrested for conducting the illicit trade and giving in some detail the re- ceipts and expenditures of the soclety. The officials are highly pleased with the discovery and with the ald of the books expect to bring many of the guilty mem- bers of the soclety into court and to even- tually break up the business of the asso- | clation. —_————— Manila Court Is Reorganized. MANII'A_ Sept. 3.—The Court of Cus- toms Appeals has just been reorganized with two Judges possessed of the neces- ; qualifications on the bench.

Belleving it best to take no chances, the detectives assembled somewhere east of Livingston by scores. Evesy man had a’ | rifle and revolver and the windows of the | special were barricaded.

Northern Pacific officials here refuse to ° discuss the situation. The special ran through the city and waited for the ex- | press in the vard.
