way to reorganize the present govern

exposition. That is practically a matter
of agreement among the high statesmen.
But France Is near a change. The
Fashoda incident and tho Dreyfus affair
added much to tbo gensral discontent
auong the masses. At the proper time
the man to lead tho royalist party will
be found. It is not unlikely that Prince

Kussian army, will be tho ono chosen."

BILL FOR AN
ASSAY OFFICE
Tongue Working to Have it Located in
Portland Sua froth Aids the Cause
Bill Was Finally Referred to a
Special Committee.
Washington, Jan. 11. Represent
ative Tongue appeared before the com
mittee on coinage, weights and measures
today, and spoke in behalf of his bill to
establish "an assay office at Portland. He
pointed out that Portland is easily acces
sible to the miners of the Oregon gold
fields and is also in a position to receive
a part of the gold coming down from
Alaska.
Representative Hill, of Connecticut,
followed Mr. Tongue, and objected to
the establishment of more assay offices,
and protested against the government
paying the cost of transportation of
bullion to the assay office.
Representative Shafroth, of Colorado,
championed the cause of the Portland
office, and made a strong defense of the
government bearing the expense of trans
portation. He stated that the govern
ment is bally in need of more assay
offices, and he would uso his beet efforts
in behalf of the proposed office at Port
land. Mr. Tongue's bill was finally referred
to the special subcommittee, which will
have charge of all hills for assay offices.
The chairman of the committee thinks
that, while it is evident more assay
offices are needed, very few will be
authorized, and those In the most need,
ful localities.

REPORT OF PHILIP
PINE COMMISSION
It Will Probably Be Ready Before
February i Talk of Sending Con
gressional Committee to the
Islands.
New Yoke, Jan. 12. A special to the
Times from Washington says: About
the last of January the Philippine com
mission will submit their full report to
the president. President Schurman was
at the White House Thursday to an
nounce that progress was being made,
and that before February the work of
the commission will bo completed. The
report made in September was a general
one, in which all the commissioners
joined. In the full report each com
missioner will deal with a separate sub
ject. That of President Schurmon is on
government for the Philippines. He has
considered the matter fully and has dis
cussed his report with the president It
is assumed that such practical points as
ho may offer will be brought to the at
tention of ttio appropriate committees of
tho senate and the house.
As to the question of again .lending a
commission to tho Philippines, it has
been suggested in congress by both
senators and representatives that a joint
commission of members might be named
for that purpose. It would be very
popular and bIbo very expensive, but it
is insisted that it would be a better way
of preparing congress and expecting
members of both houses to read their
report after it had been made in order
that it may become informed. It is
said that a special committee of members
well known would be more interesting
and impressive.
STATE LEVY
6.3 MILLS
How Taxable Valuations Have Run in
Oregon for a Dozen Years Past
Many Changes.
Sai.km, Jan. 11. Governor Gcer, Sec
retary of State Dunbar and State Treas
urer Moore, acting jiintly, fixed the
state tax levy at 0.3 mills, which, upon
a valuation ot $120,282,S79, will raise
1757,782.13. Last year the tox was 5.7
mills, andupou taxable property valued
at $133,533,577 the sum of 701,143.89
was raised,
The higher levy this year was duo to
the lower valuation mid to several other
causes. First, under the act of tho last
legislature abolishing the fee system,
55,000 must be paid in salarios to tho
district attorneys of the several districts.
Formerly, these officials were paid most
ly iu fees Iu the counties. Second, thtee
items amounting to $-15,000, which, on
account of press of business had been
omitted from tho estimate made by the
old board last year, had to be met. These
were: Compensation for rejected Oregon
volunteers, $5000; replacing a building
of the agricultural college, which had
been destroyed by fire, $25,000; to re
imburse the commission which re
presented Oregon at the Omaha exposi
tion, $15,000.
