The following important commu-
nication touching the assessment of
railroad property w:is addressed from
this department yesterday :
Mr H. L. Norwood Assessor ot McLeuuan
county Waco Texas:
I) ar sir in reply to yours or me
21st inst.: The road-ted of a railroad
should be assessed as laud valued as
other lands' adjacent thereto and
should not be valued at the cost ol
construction. (See section I artich-
4688 revised statutes which requires
every railniad corporation to render
each year '"the whole number of acre
of land ownwt. possessed or appropri-
ated for their use. with a "valuation
affixed to the same.")
which requires a railroad company to
render culverts biidges trestle work
nmimnkiiients. etc.. and it would not.
in the opinion of thi9departn1ent.be
just to require a railroad .corporation
to render a road-bed for taxation at
the cost of construction as the
. amounts piiid for large embank
ments tunm-ls cuts etc. do not
actually enhance the - vi iue 01
the land but on th8 contrary
really render that portion of the road
so worked on less profitable than
other portions of the road which do
not require such heavy outlay 01
monev lor Bradinc etc -
The comptroller further rules under
article 4b 1 revised statutes in an-
swer to inquiries of the assessor that
ail moneys credits bonds and othei
evidences of del owned by citizens
of the state whether the same be in
or out of the state shall be taxable as
personal property and of the interest-
bearing m-irigages on iana reierrea k
in vour letter as being in Chicago or
Scotland belonging to citizens of.thts
tat. thev are clearlv taxable under
the law above cited; but if suchmort-
cturea belonz to parties living out 01
tae state being mortgages given to
secure the payment of moneys loaned
they are not under this law taxable.

Gov. Ireland and Comptroller Swain
had not returned up to the closing of
business Hours yesterday. Land loin
missioner Walsh returned from Bur
net where he went with the capitol
contractor and building commissioner
to look at the granite in that section.
There i3 plenty or It. or good qualitv
but the commissioners are not likely
to change the contract at the expense
of the state. Nor are the contractors
disposed to make the substitution of
granite lor w nite iimesto ie 1 ock
w ithout such concessions as would
enable them to make thechange with
put any disadvantage to themselves.
The matter rests with the contrac or '
however as the commissioner while
Silt isfiid to hav the white rock calliil
for by contract are willing to substi- j
lllie graniM! ll Hie Mlirsu:itia ixui uu
it without pre udice to the state. The
contractors after all may find out
that they can use the granite quite as
advantageously for themselves;
which will be so much the better for
the state as the granite is preferable.
FISH DISTRIBUTION.
Fish Commissioner Lubbock has
concluded to commence the distribu-
tion of carp from the state ponds
near Barton Springs. He will begin
to supply applicants as well as hi; can
during the month of June. Parties
wishing them should make the fire-
scribed application giving capacity
and character of ponds etc. as sug-
gested in the blank forms prepared by
the commissioner. His object is to
make the diitribution in J une as the
young fish are now about the proper
size to ship safely. Alter June he
will probably stop further distribu-
tion till fall.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
There was nothing new of interest

"The remains of Henry Daniels
colored were buried yesterday from
the colored Baptist church of this
city. He was murdered at A.ustin on
Saturday night by some party or
parties unknown. The killing is said
to have been a cowardly and brutal
murder Daniels having been called to
the door by the assassins who shot
him dead. They then made off in the
darkness and escaped without a sin-
gle clue to their identity. The re-
mains arrived here in charge of Dan-
iels' brother who resides in this city."
The above is from the San Antonio
Express of yesterday and the only
remarkable thing about it is that part
which says that they escaped without
identity. The sheriff had five ol
them in jail by daylight Monday

and a detachment will prob bly be
sent to Rochell to restore order and
protect men who waut to work.
After completing Heir work at
Rose Hill and leaving a gu ird there
to see that their mandate vas carried
out the women marched to Eeinke's
mine No. 1 three miles from Belle-
ville on the ' Louisville and
Nashville railroad and be-
ing reinforced by a large number of
strikers drove oiu the men working
there. It is reported . that they tore
up the railroad switch and threatened
to burn the surface works of the
mine but of this nothing is definitely
Known. The moo at uns point is
! said
to be increasing rapidly and
now numbers several hundred in-
I eluding about one hundred women.
wno are tne most unmanugeaoie ot
the crowd and beyond control of the
civil authorities. The sheriff has
'. telegraphed the governor for military
aid. It is understood that some of the
nnlitia at East t Louis will be sent
out as soon as a special train
can be made - up. It is
not known that any actual
violence was done by the women or
tl e large body of men who stood be-
h n 1 them but it is known that wi k
in the mine-was stopped and som.
very ugly threats made reg:irili!itr
the consequences of any attempt to
return. At Mai some liitein
miles beyond 1' ileviiiva eroil'l
miners appeared this morning ;.tid
demanded that wrk close. !.
uty Sneriff iiaghinte was pr.-jr-eiit
with a civil posse and
told them that any interference w ith
the working of the mine would sim-
ply result in bringing out the milita-
ry who would arrest all disturbers
and advised them to retire. This
ttiev tonsidered good advice -and
withdrew leaving the mine in pef.ee-
able possession of the men working it.
St. Louis. May 27. A most diaboli-
cal and fiendish plot to destroy a
whole family is reported from the
small town of Nelson in Moultrie
county Illinois. On Friday night
ropes were tied to all the door knobs
of the house of Mr. Berd and then
made last in the yard. Coal oil wai
then poured around the foundations
of the house and fired near the main
door. Berd was awakened by the
noise of the iiames and luckily was
able to burst open a door
and with his wile and sev-
eral children rushed through
the flames without harm but their
escape from a terrible death was a
very narrow one. It is not known by
whom or for what reason the devilisil
deed was committed.
A dispatch from Muskogee Indian
Territory says negroes in the Cher-
okee natit.u have drawn up a strong
protest against the recent action of
the Cherokee council in declaring
that a large amount of money receiv-
ed from tne government in payment
of lands shall be distributed only to
i herokees by blood. There are over
one thousand negroes in the nation
who claim ths same right as Indians
who will sign the protest and then
send it to the secretary of the interior.
A dispatch from Independence
Missouri says a. gentleman named
Sawyer has arrived therefrom Wash-
ington City and taken possession of
all the property of H. M. Vaile ol
star route notoriety. The property
consists of a handsome suburban res-
idence that cost 50000 a large num-
ber of blooded stoek and an extensive
wine cellar. Whether Sawyer is act-
ing as owner or agent is not known
but th; general opinion is that Vale
is preparing for the worst.
El Paso May 27. The Times
which has been paying great atten-
tion to Gen. Crook's movements has
nothing to present writing of the re-
reported disaster to him. On the con-
trary it has details from Mexican
sources of a confidential character
that Crook's operations as now re-
ported are on the head waters of the
Yugin river which runs across
Sonoro and empties into the gulf of
Colorado. It is a very broken rugged
region and has long been the Apache
refuge. Crook operates from the west
on the Sonora side of the Sierre
Mart re. On this or on the Chihuahua
side the Mexican commanders are
evidently operating in accord with
plans prearranged with Crook. The
two forces cannot now be over fifty
miles apart. Gens. Rozea and Guerra
commanding iu Chihuahua have
confidence in Crook's safety. One
column of three hundred is pushing
from the neighborhood of Casa
Grande and was four days ago not
over eighty miles from where Crook
is reported as fighting No definite
news can be obtained to-night from
the west. Tombstone Tucson or
San Francisco will get the first intel-
ligence which must come from So-
nora. Chihuahua troops are operat-
ing at a point forty-eight hotirfi
ride from the telegraph station.
Washington May 27. The war
department has not yet received any
information from Gen. Crook. Ad-
jutant General Drum however re
ceived the following dispatch from
Fort Bliss:
El Paso May 26.
To Goneial Drum:
Nothing authentic heard yet regard-
ing General Crook. I have duly com-
municated with the Mexican military
commander at Paso del Norte who
has assured me I shall be promptly
informed of any news received
at military headquarters at Chi-
huahua. The commanding general
of the Mexican forces has also given
me like assurances.
Signed. Fletcher
Commander.
El Paso May 29. A special cor-
respondent to the Chronicle sends the
following by courier to San Jose and
on the Mexican Central and thence to
this point:
Carolites May 24. The news is
just received here that Gen. Crook
engaged a strong force of Indians
supposed to be composed of Joseph's
and Loco's bands together with
strays and renegade hostiles last
week at Guayopa on the Sonora slope
of the Sierras in the neighborhood of
Casa de Janes. There is great uncer-
tainty to date when this fight took
place. The mountain spurs at the
point indicated are the favorite re-
sorts of the Apaches and are peculiar-
ly inaccessable which accounts for
the intrenched position of the hostiles
and the confidence which they exhib-
ited of holding their ground
until thirty-three' had fallen
when they broke and tied
closely followed by the victorious
American troops. They are sup-
posed to have made their way
towards Carcay in Casa de Janos on
the Chihuahua slope of the mountains
where they will probably make a last
stand. The operations around Casa
de Janos will be traversed literally
without road or even good trails and.
the mountain passes- are admirably
tidapted for surprises. The town of
Talmaripa which lies in a northwest-
erly direction seventy-rive miles from
Gaynopa contains four thousand in-
habitants and is the largest town on
the Sonoro slope of the Sierra Madres.
That C. ook will endeavor to penetrate
into this almost unknown region there
is no doubt and as he advances
the Mexican troops will draw close
their coradon on the Sonoro side and
the Mexican columns on this side
stationed at Casa Grande San Buen-
va Ventura and Janos will keep com-
plete a live communication so as to
prevent the hostiles from escaping
i'rom the various pursuits of Crook
and Col. Torrezon on one side of the
mountains and Col. Galardo on .this
side. Crook can if he desires to do
-so establish communications with
the Mexican forces co-operating on
this side of the Sierras by sending a
courier through the pass oh the
Mulites road and then heading
for the Santa Maria river. From
therein less than two days San Jose
station about ninety-four miles from
El Paso on the line of the Mexican
Central can be reached and the gen-
eral placed in communcation by wire
with his government Every one
here (and the little town has a large
American colony) is delighted with
the news for it means that the hos-
tile Apaches are at last doomed to to-
tal extinctionand that the Sierras and
their vast mineral treasures
are about to be opend to
the world of enterprise and capital.
Washington May 28. No in-
formation from Crook's movements
has been received at the war depart-
ment to-day. Gen. Drum is disposed
to credit the report that Gen. Crook
engaged the Apaches and defeated
them. - He thinks fiat the stories to
the effect that his Indian scouts
turned upon and massacred Crook
and his command wholly sensational.
-In the first place" said Drum "no
one understands Indian character
better than Crook and he is the last
man to put himself in a position
where such a thing would be possi-
ble. In the second place the Indian
scouts left their wives and children
in the custody of the United States
authorities and would not - dare
mutiny een if inclined knowing
their families were held as hostages.
Had such a thinar happened I should
ere this have received reliable reports
in regard to it"

nave sigmued their intention or at
tending. A general invitation has

Pittsburg Pa May 28. The fifth
day's session of the Reformed Presby-
terian synod was occupied almost en-
tirely with the trial of D.ivid Torrens
a wealthy boot and shoe man of New
York city. When the session opened
the committee on temperance reported
the following resolutions which were
unanimously adopted: "1. All offi-
cers of the church are advised to lea e
off the evil habit of using tobacco as
their bad example renders it discour-
aging to preserve the youth
from its use. 2. All mem-
bers are admonished to abstain
on the ground that it defiles the
body is a useless waste of money and
often renders man offensive to his
neighbors. 3. Its manufacture and
sale is prohibited." The case of Dan-
iel Torrens was then taken up. Tor-
rens was in partnership with Thos.
Greasin in the wholesale boot and
shoe business and both were mem-
bers of the second Reformed church
of New Tork. They became involv-
ed in some business di i culty and the
matter was submitted to a commis-
sion appointed by the church. Mr.
Torrens failed to appear at the meet-
ing of the commission and later
refused to give up his books. For
this contempt he W'as suspended from
the church. He appealed to the Pres-
bytery who sustained the church
and he then appealed to the synod.
