C. 11. Hemingway Thinks It Will Only Per petuate Unjust Discrimination. To the Editor of The Times: In April, ISM, a select committee to investigate tax assessments la this District was appointed by Congress. Tho primary return of the assist ant assessors, as cstiinatod by tho committee, was $.272,035,000, and this was an increase of $125,000,000 over the previous assessment, and nearly all tho lncreaso was made after tho in vestigation began. Afterward a board of equalization was ap pointed, and tho law providing that tho "cor rected" and "equalized" assessment should be not less than the original return was repealed. Tho board of equalization then reduced tho as ficssment about $75,000,000. Nearly all of this reduction was on business property and vacant lots, and very little of it was on homes. Tho board of equalization was practically an instrument of oppression to tho homo owners. Had tho original assessment been permitted to stand, and had the rate of tax been lowered, the homo owner would havo had much less to pay. -Tho market valuo of nil real estate in this District is about $500,000,000. A tax of one half per cent, on this sum would raise an amount equal to tho present roveuuo from real estate. A 10.000 homo is now taxed S120. Business property of same value is now taxed '$37.50. Vacant lots of samovaluo are now taxed $15. If nil real estate was assessed at its market valuo and a tax of one-half per cent levied such a home would hm e $70 less to pay; such business property would have $12.50 moro to pay, and such vacaut lots $35 more to pay. The Itoard of trade assessment bill, now fa vorably reported by the Commissioners, is a sup stantial re-enactment of the laws under which the late assessment was made, and will perpet uate the present discrimination against homo owners. C. 11. Hemingway. AGAINST BLAND'S BILL. New York Hankers Lay Claim to Special Interests and Privileges. New Yobk, March 21. Tho meeting of sub scribers to tho bond issue to protest against tho seigniorage bill assembled at 1 o'clock. Thero were present about twenty-flvo bankers. The proceedings consisted in tho approval of n resolution citing various reasons why the seigniorage bill should not lis signed. Tho resolution refers to the dangerous re sults of the bill becoming a law. among which an Increase in the prevailing distrust abroad and gold exports are prominently mentioned. It concludes as follows: "Whereas, tho officers of tho financial insti tutions, firms, and corporations of New York became subscribers to the last loan negotiated by the government with tho belief that the marketing of the bonds would prevent tho further inflation of tho currency by the coin age of tho so-called silver seigniorage, and feeling that, as tho loan was made a success because of ".their efforts, they havo a claim upon the administration for a veto of this bill, thoreforo bo it "Resolved. That in the opinion of tho rep resentatives of tho financial institutions of New York who subscribed to the ei0,000.000 5 per cent, loan and mado it a success the coinage of tho seigniorage would endanger tho financial stability of the government and would inllict upon a suffering people perni cious and unnecessary legislation, which would be far-reaching in its disastrous conse quences." Actress Waters Was Drunk. Jebset City. X. J., March 21. The four men who wero arrested yesterday upon a charge of assaulting actress Adelo Waters were discharged by Justice O'Donnell this morning. There was no evidence to show that they- assaulted the woman.

New Yobk, March 21. Tho text of the tele gram sent by President Cleveland to the chamber of commerce committee, replying to their notillcntion that they were about to pro ceed to Washington to present their memorial against the signing of tho seisnoirago bill, is as follows: ''Georgo Wilson, Chamber of Com merce, New York: I will hear them if they corne, but strongly advise not coming.

THREE BALL GAMES TO-DAY P Plenty of Sport for Lovers of the National Pastime. YALE OPENS THE SEASON HERE Georgetown University and Columbia Collogo at Capitol Park, Y. M. C. A. and Yalo at Y. M. C..A. Park, and Washington's Leaguers Will Play a Practice Game. Thore will be three games of baseball played in Washington this afternoon, two of which will be by amateur organizations and tho other a practico game between tho Kids and Vets of the local league club. At tho Y: M. C. A. park, Seventeenth and U streets, tho cele brated Yalo 'Varsity team will open their sea son with tho Y. M. C. A. nino, and thero will without doubt bo a largo attendance. Yale will put in her full strength and count on starting the season with a victory. Tho Y. M. C. A. team will be aLout tho samo that won the District championship last year. Tho players of both will bo as follows: Yale George, c; Gunther, p.; Stephenson, lb; itustiu, 2b; Arbutbnot, 3b.; Griinby, ss.; Bigo low, if.; Caso, cf., and Specr, rf. Y. M. C. A. E. Hodge, o.; Colliilowcr. p.; O'Hagan. lb.; McCrcery, 2b.; Johnson, 3b. ;BoIway, ss.; C. "Hodge, If.; l'ulier, cf., and Greene, rf. Tho game will commeneo at 4 o'clock, and Chnrley Snyder will umpire. Owing to yesterday's rain the Georgetown Lehigh gamo was not played at Capitol park, and it Is hardly likely the two teams will lie ablo to meet this season because of conflicting schedules. Manager Anderson, of tho Lohighs, was very much disappointed in not getting in the game, as it meant tho loss of some money. Tho boys left last night for Charlottesville, Va., where they play the Unlveisily of Virginia to-day, and from there go to Richmond and to North Carolina, play ing tho University of North Carolina on .Saturday. Georgetown will meet the strong Columbia Collego (New York) team nt Capitol park this afternoon and endeavor the wrest vietop from tho northerners. Georgetown will present the samu nine as arrangod for the gamo with Lehigh. Manager Horsey counts on a big crowd. Manager Schmelz failed to nut his men through their regular course of practico yes terday afternoon, the failuro being caused by tho rain. As a consoqueuce, the candidates for the League team wero given a rcst.and will start in fresh to-day ,when tho Vets will make another effort to win a game from tho Kids. The members of the Washington club aro engaged in a drill,to bo given previous to the gamo on Saturday afternoon, when tho public will ilrst havo .in opportunity to see tho men. Tho Kids will lino up in front of tho grand stand nnd march (o tho home plate, when, at n signal from Manager Schmelz. they will about face nnd give a salute to tho public. The Vets will then mako their appearance and go through the samo programme. Tho boys are getting things down line, nnd tho only kick is on Joo Mulvcy's failuro to keep step andMcGuires propensity to Elop ana look around. Joyco was a candidate for tho right of line, but Cartwright wa given the place, and "Scrappy" is now satisfied tho scheme will not go through as it would with him as guide. The New York papers are paying consider able attention to tho differences between Charley Farrell and tho New York club over salary. Farrell claims he only wants as much as he" received in this city last year, while tho New York management refuse to lie forced into raising their offer. Mr. Talcott says the season will bo played without Farrell if the latter does not come to time. According to tho present condition of baseball Tarrell has no chance of playing ball with any other club, and he will doubtless fall in line, as it would not pay to remain idle. RINGER AT ST. LOUIS. Tanner, with Whom So .'Many Killings Have Uccn .Made, Wins a Race. St. Locis, March 21. Golden Gate's vic tory in the third race at Last St. Louis to-day was very suspicions, and all bets were ordered to stand until a thorough investigation could be made. He was entered as a chestnut geld ing, aged, by Joo Hokon, dam unknown, and won at a mile, a remarkablo performance for a cold-blooded horso over tho sandy track. The men who entered him aro unknown here, and give a very lame explanation of how they camo into possession of the horse. He was entered in tho nnmo of G. Bell, nnd when called for after the raco could not be found. Tho horse was well played at the poolrooms, but not at tho traek. Later ho was identified beyond a doubt as tho famous ringer Tanner, who worked tho Twilight killing at the fair grounds last spring. Ho is painted n chest nut color. The judges decided to burn tho money placed on Golden Gate and pay all other bets.

Bedstone is now engaged in handing out maps and displaying maps of tho pro posed march among tho members of Con gress. Tho members, as a rule, appear to doubt tho materialization of the movement, but Col. Bedstone is confident in the matter, as ho claims to lie receiving dispatches from Coxey every day which show that tho army is rapidly gaining great strength. He sajsthat whole carloads of provisions aro being do nated, and some manufacturers In Pennji vania have donated wagons to carry the sup' plies. BOTH USED THE AX. Hut Cleveland lias Kept It in .Motion .More Vigorously than Harrison. More than ono-half of tho whole number of Presidential post offices havo bsen filled by nominations sent to the Senate since the in coming of the present administration. Tho number of these appointments by the last ad ministration from March 4, 1659. to March 12, 1890, was 1.C9S. There wero thirty-two Presi dential appointments mado on March 13, ISrO. Tho number made by this administration be tween March 4, 1893, and March 13. 1S91. was 1,720. The total number of Presidential post offices in operation March 12 last was 3.121. Figures of appointments of fourth-class postmasters for iiio former Cleveland admin istration and for tho Harrison administration are given on the basis of sixteen months, as official statements then compiled covered tho fiscal year and the period from March 4 to July 1 of the first J car of each administration. For tho twelvo months of the present adminis tration the number of changes in fourth-class postmasters was 22.012. Tho changes for tho sixteen months ending June 20, 18SC, aggregated 20.S81. Tor tho first sixteen months of the Harri-on adminis tration the number was 24,045.

TIMES, THURSDAY, ARE CONFIDENT OF A VETO Wall Street Expects the President to Kill Bland's Bill. CLAIM THAT A DEAL WAS MADE Purchasers of the Lato Bond Issue Say They Wero Assured of No Adverse Silver Legis lation Hailroad Eeports Discouraging. General Tone of tho Market New Yonv, March 21. In vlow of the rec ognized narrowness of speculation, tho stub born resistanco displayed in to-day's market was decidedly encouraging. Tho belief in a veto of tho Bland bill is again predominant, and for this reason traders felt justified in marking up prices. The conviction lias' be come so general that tho bill will novcr bo come operative that it is quito possiblo tho street will take tho official announcement of that faet'without any further demonstration of approval. Tho telegraphic dispatch au thorized by tho President to tho members of tho chamber of commerce committee, advising them not to visit Washington, as intended, to adviso him against signing tho Blund bill, was .construed to mean that their wishes would bo respected without their presence being neces sary. It is claimed that tho subscribers for the roceut government loan wero assured that In consideration of their subscription no ad verso silver legislation would bo allowed dur ing tho present session of Congress. In tho hope of influencing tho President's nctio"a iu tho matter and to assert their claim to consideration a committee of seventeen was appointed to visit Washington and mako a determined stnnd against such superficial financial legislation. Tho above telegram is considered as, positive evidence that tho orig inal promises aro in safe-keeping, and that neither confidences nor implied contracts will bo In tliu slightest degree impaired. Itailroad earnings published during theday wero not encouraging, but officials continue to talk In a most confident lone nnd nssuru tnelr Iriends that the outlook is daily growing brighter. Shorts hate been inducod to cover iu consequence of these predictions, and prices are in many instances several points higher than even a casual examination of their weekly balance sheets would justify. Such ronds as Atchison, Nashvillo and Northern Pacific are manipulated so as to disappoint every trader who interests himself on the side justified by their own official figures. The Grangers continue strong on prospects of increase in both branches of traffic and traders are generally bullish on them. Bur lington shows surprising strength and gained l,1 per cent to 81 on covering and rumors of an improved outlook. The gains in the re mainder of tho regular list wero not conspic uous nnd need no analysis. Sugar again was tho eenter of attractiou, and was eitremely erratle in its movements. The trading in this stock has lost all char acter, and is Influenced by the contradictory advices iu regard to tariff changes which hourly nrrivo from Washington. Chicago Gas sold off fractionally, but the remainder of the industrial group was strong nnd dull. Tho foreign exchange market shows no signs of immediate improvement. The market continued dull and strong throughout tho dosing hour on continued as surances that the Bland bill would be vetoed, all other advices for tho present being disre garded.

From tho Philadelphia I!ecord- It is a curious fact that, whilo lithography has made immense strides in recent years, especially since tho introduction of steam power presses, tho lithographic stones used in such great quantities all come Irom ouo quarry nt Sohuhoren. in Bavaria. Though ether quarries havo been discovered, notably iu Cauada, none has been found equal, in compactness of grain and in point of recep tivity to tho touch of tho artist's pencil, to tho Bavarian stone. Neither, it is said, are tho stones now imported equal to thoso obtained thirty years aco. Nearly all tho lithogtaphio artists prefer to draw upon a repolished old stone rather than on "a newly quarried one. The present cost of tho best slats is about twenty-flvo cents a pound, and they weigh as high as 300 pounds. Philadelphia has always been a strong center of the art, and an im mense amount of lithographic work is done in this city for all parts of the country. - His .Manner Pleased Her. Harvard Lampoon.

FRIEDLANDER & BRO, Ninth and E N. W. BUILDING THE BATTLE-SHIPS. The Cramps Workmen Arc Getting Many Ocean .Monarchs Heady. Thero aro three government ships now un dergoing the finishing process at Cramp's ship yards, which tho company hopes to turn over to tho Xavy Department by the 1st of October. Theso are tho battle-ships Indiana nnd Massachusetts and the fast protected cruiser Minneapolis, the latter beinp; a sister ship of the pcericss Columbia. The Massachu setts has been placed in the government dry dock nt the League Island navy yard In order that her screws may be placed in po-ition. Whilo in tho docks the ship's lottom will be scraped and painted. In about three weeks the Massachusetts will be given her dock trial, and on June 1, if all goes well, her unofficial trial trip will take place. The Massachusetts is a sister ship to the Indiana, which was tested so successfully two weeks ago. The latter ship goes into the dry dock to-morrow, nnd will be sent on her official trial trip oil tho coast of Massachusetts about May 1. Thesi battle-ships aro built for stability and steadiness rather than S eeit. There is no doubt, however, that both will exceed tho guarantee of flueen knots an hour. The ship that exeitrs more interest than any other now in course of coastru :'..ou at Cramp's yard is the cru'.ser MInneal oils. Th.s vessel is al most an exact counterpart of the Columbia, tha difference, being in the arrangemtnt of tlie lire room, which gives the former moro grate space nnd slightly more boiler power. This difference gives the Minneapolis but two smokestacks, whereas tho Columbia has four. Although the first trial trip of the 31iune apolis will not take place until Juno 13, the men employed in her construction havo already begun to sjicak of her as "the twen-ty-rour-kno:ter." Almost everybody con nected with the firm believes that the Minne apolis will prove a world beater, and that she will exceed the Columbia's unprecedented record of &! S-10 knots by more than a knot. They argue that if the Columbia's boilers had not "foamed,'' thus ncci'ssitating a slowdown at a critical moment, sho would have ex ceeded 23 knots. Such an accident is not likely to happen to the Minneapolis, and her additional boiler power ounht to mean addi tional speed. Altogether there seems to bo reasons to believe that tho new cruiser will establish a record ol nearly, if not quite, 21 k: ots an hour. Orders having been issued by tho Navy De partment pla.-ing the Columbia in commis sion on April 8, her builders have increased the already large force of workmen who aro putting tho finishing touches on her. All of her berth deck guns are in position, nnd the larger guns aro expected here from Washing ton shortly. Yesterday the scrubbers began cleaning her sides of' the accumulation of gri'aso and dirt. To-morrow the painters will commence painting, everything in sight to bo the regulation white. When all is lln ished, the Columbia will present a beautiful appearance. The next ship to be launched at Cramps is tho American liner Colors. Sho will be fol lowed li- tho St. Paul, her sister ship. Tho big battle-ships Iowa and Brooklyn will not bo launched until late in the Fall. When these are completed the firm will have no moro government work nt its yard. An improve ment contemplated in the near future is tho enlargement of the dry dock. It is not large enougii for the enormous essels now bring constructed nt tho yard, nnd for this reason tho llrrn lluds it necessary to use tho big gov ernment dry doelrat League Island. --& Sam Barnard's Chestnut. iJFrom the New York Press. Last night Sam Barnard, who sings and talks words of his own composition, deliv ered theso lines: "George Washington freed this country from the British, Abrnhnm Lincoln freed tho slaves from bondage, and Grover Cleveland has freed the workingmun from toil. i-o- Some Large Figures.
