OAKLAND, October 4. The absolute necessity for a revision of the revenue laws of the State of CMlfornta has become apparent since tha contest that County Assessor Henry Dalton of this county has been waging against tre corporations and larger property owners. At every turn he has found holes In the laws of the State, through which wealthy property owners have craw 1-ed with the aid of cunning attorneys. Other Assessors, who have been honestly inclined, have found the same difficulty. There has been a lack of definition In the revenue laws, and many of the laws have been found to be absolutely unconstitutional, but still they cumber the statute books.

One of the evidences of this Is the trouble that Assessor Dalton has been having over the statements that were rendered by the Adams estate. M. Dalton left these statements at the residences and offices of those owning the land. Two of the heirs of this estate J. C.

Adams and Julia P. A. Prattler failed to Alb any statements at all, upon the ground that, while the statements had been left at their houses, they had never received Item. Edsoi F. 'Adams filed his statement, but not until after the legal time, and then made the same plea.

District Attorney Snook rendered an opinion that the law required the Assessor to serve every taxpayer personally with a statement, and that If this was not done then, under the law as It now stuuds, there was no service, and no penalty could be Imposed. This decision made it utterly Impossible for the Assessor to with the law, which requires the service of statements upon taxpayers, for the statements must be handed in person to the taxpayer. There are numberless other Instances of the same kind, and several of the principal Assessors of the State have discussed a convention of Assessors until It has finally been called to meet In Sacramento on November 23d. Thirty-three Assessors have been heard from up to date and have agreed to be present In perron, and, if possible, with their chief deputies. The convention will discuss amendments to the present revenue laws be submitted to the next session of the Legislature.

They will Invite the Code Commission to consult with them, and the State Board of Equalization will also be consulted. Assessor Dalton is at work upon a number of amendments that he will urge before this convention, a number of which he has already drafted. The greatest change he wilt propose Is a section tc define a service of a statement to avoid a repetition of the Adams trouble of the present year. DIED ON HIS MISSION- Sudden Demise of Webster Parkhurst, the Boy Evangelist of Berkeley. OAKLAND, October 4.

Word wss received In Berkeley to-day that Webster Parkhurst, the Berkeley boy evangelist, had died suddenly yesterday morning in Westport, Mendocino county. He was on the way back to Berkeley after a three months' trip through the lumber camps of Mendocino and Humiboldt counties, where he had been on evangelistic work with a party under the charge of the Rev. Mr. Adams. He was ill but a few hours and the members of his family in Berkeley who received the news by telegraph do not know what caused his death.

The body was at once sent to Fort Bragg for shipment by steamer to San Francisco, but as the doctor who had attended the, case refused to grant a certificate, the Captain of the 6teamer refused to handle the body. The Coroner of the county was sum- Don't compare Battle Ax" with low grade tobaccos compare Battle Ax with the best on I the market, and you will find you 1 fpr-10 cents almost twice 1 much "Battle Ax" as you do of other high grade brands, i 1 Sup The World's Best Natural Aperient Water 25 Years' Success in the U.

A perpotual mo tion motor has come and gone in Oakland Money has been subscribed, patents applied fur In sixteen countries, a model built, and dow all that the stockholders have Is useless model. The machine Is the invention of Louis McAdams, who drifted into Oakland some few months ago front British Columbia He bad been a revlvaliBt, he said, and was now a spiritualist, and through spiritualism be had received many secrets he could turn to account in this world, and among those secrets was that of perpetual motion. McAdams finally Interested Jacob Letter one of the oldest clothing merchants in Oakland. It is said that Mr. Letter fur nished McAdams with nearly $1,000, not counting sundry suits of clothes and board bills that were paid for by the clothing mer chant.

The exact status of the transactions between Letter and McAdams are unobtainable because of the datb of Letter about three weeks ago during the dedication serv ices at the Synagogue. Among others he Interested D. A. Shannon, a young mechanic of Oakland, who McAdams thougnt possessed ability enough to perfect the weak spots in the mechanical portion of the macnine. "We worked on the thing for said Shannon.

"It was set up in an old building on the corner of Fifteenth and Franklin streets. When we got it up it would never go, and it is torn down now. "Then the model that I worked upon was begun. We built It upon a large scale, The wheel was four or five feet In diameter, and when the big arms were swinging around we had to cut a hole In the floor and in the ceiling of the room to give them room to swing in. It was a lot of work to build the thing, and It made a lot of noise and I guess the pople In the neighborhood wondered what we were at.

"The Idea was a pretty one and one that would fool almost any one, particularly if be bad just a smattering of a mechanical education. The thing consists of a big wheel with sixteen arms attached to the rim and playing In a slot cut in the rlra for each arm. About half way between the axle of the wheel and the upper rim, upon the framework, was a fulcrum which was the essence of the whole thing. The arms Bwung over this fulcrum, which consisted of little wheels running on an axle, and when they were thrown over this fulcrum it gave tne rour arms tnat were over it at one time a long leverage. To these arms were at tached heavy Iron weights, and the theory was mat tne iron welgnts attached to the ends of these arms would utilize this long leverage power and pull the other arms around until they got into power to pull the ethers around.

The arms coming up on the other side were allowed to fall in the slot in the wheel in which they worked so mat tneir leverage was reduced. "The thing looked pretty until one sat down and figured out that there were only four arms that were pulling down, tnd that they had to pull up twelve armi, of which ten were a dead weight against the four and two were neutral, being on the bnlance. The long leverage that was given the four arms did not compensate for the weight of the twelve. The result was that when we started the machine It would go iur a revolut ion or two ana men stop." TOO "much politics. The Trade and Labor Assembly of Chicago voluntarily rafses uut ot Existence.

CHICAGO. October 4. In less than month the Trade and Labor Assembly will pass out of existence of its own volition The outcome of a brief and stormy meeting this afternoon was the unanimous adoption of a resolution ending the life of the assem bly on November 1st and resigning its char ter and property on that date to Jhe Amerl can Federation of Labor. This sensational action was taken to reo der unnecessary the continuance of the dissension that was rapidly tearing the Trade and Labor Assembly to pieces. Within the past few weeks Eeveral organizations have withdrawn from Its council and many others have appealed to the American Federa tion of Labor to take away the charter of the assembly.

The Bricklayers' Union, the largest body represented In the central or ganization, Joined the clamoring throng last week, passed resolutions stating that there was too much politics In the assembly and urged the Federation to rescind its charter at once. Every effort was made by the assembly officials to stem the tide of rebellion. The body adopted some resolutions Itself, but still the trouble grew. The resolution of to-day was an effort to abort the effect of the subordinate unions' outcries and to place the aseinbly In the position of com passing its own death Instead of being killed by its affiliated unions. Fl'SlON IX INDIANA.

Popnllst Chairman Duller Thinks It Will lie Successful. WASHINGTOK, Ocober 4. -Populist Chair man Butler does not think that fusion will be defeated in Indiana. He says the conditions there are different from any other State ex cept West Virginia. Both the National Com mlttees have urged all the State leaders, where fusion was desirable, to steer clear of all al liances Concerning Congressmen and State candidates until the arrangements of the electoral ticket have been completed.

Chairman Butler, In almost every State ex cept Indiana and West Virginia, has found th Populists eager to fuse on Congressmen and State nominees. But in Indiana and West Vir ginia, he says, the Democrats have tried to force fusion of the State and Congressional nominees upon the Populists as a condition or melon on tne electoral ticket. Both be and Chairman Jones have labored with leaders In Indiana. The Populists there, Ui compliances with advices from the National Committee, nave certified to an electoral ticket of ten Democrats and five Populists. Chair man Butler says the ticket will stand as far as the Populists are concerned.

Should the Demo crats refuse to pull down five of their electors which he regards as improbable, the Popullsti will simply vote for the ten Democrats, and ir Bryan loses the other five in November the blame will rest unon the Democrats. The situation In West Virginia, he says. Is about the same. The Populists have certified to two electors of their own party and four Democrats. I ney refuse all overtures for fu sion on the State ticket and intend to persist In It.

liut here, as in Virginia, Chairman But ler is confident that complete fusion will ulti mately be arranged. An Artisan (or Congrem. ST. LOUIS, October 4. The Democrats of the Eleventh Missouri District last night nominated John Hunt for Congress.

To-night, at New Gonzaga College Hall, the cornerstone of which was laid by Cardinal Satolli, his eminence was tendered a farewell reception by the students, the occasion also being the dedication of the new hall. The auditorium and gallery, which are of upaclous dimensions, were crowded to their fullest extent, and when the Cardinal entered, accompanied by Archbishop Martinelll, the entire- audience rose and greeted them with applause as they paBsed along the aisles on their way to the stage, and when the curtain arose exhibiting a garden scene, with pots of chrysanthemums, palms, ferns and other flowers, with ths Cardinal and the Archbishop cjothed In tfelr robes of scarlet and dazzling Jeweled In-B'gnia, surrounded by a number of prominent Catholic clergymen, there were renewed demonstrations of favor from the audience, at which both the Cardinal and the Archbishop raised their hats.

Father Pardow delivered the address of the evening. Several allusions in his address called forth marked signs of pleasure from the Cardinal and Archbishop Martinelll, and at the close Dr. Rooker arose and spoke for the Cardinal, who made no remarks himself. STATU3 OF THATCHER.

At the Semi Annual Conference of the Mormon Church the Apostle's Case Mav Pe cetfed SALT LAKE CITY, October semiannual conference of the Mormon Church, about to assemble, will be expected to take up the question of the status of Apostle Moses Thatcher, who was dropped from the quorum of twelve Apostles at the last conference without an reason being given. It is charged that Counselor George Q. Cannon was responsible for the omission of Mr. Thatcher's name, and that the reason lay In the political antagonism of the two men. Thatcher had been one of the nominees of the Democrats for United States Senator the year before, and he attributes his defeat to Cannon's interference on account of the candidacy of his own son for the Sena-torehlp Mil the Republican side, it Is further charged that Mr.

Cannon is desirous of keeping Thatcher out of the quorum of Apostles, as he (Thatcher) Is an avowed opponent to a plan of Cannon's to amend the rule of succession In the Mormon Church by which he hopes to sucropd to the Presidency of the church before his death. It Thatcher Is deDosed a Cannon man will undoubtedly be made one of the Apostles, and thus will the Counselor's caning and election be made sure. FIRE AT PORTLAND.

A severe hail storm came up and was followed by a very heavy downfall of rain. Some of the hailstones measured an Inch In diameter and many windows were broken by them.

The main wash soon came down Tombstone canyon in a mess of water three feet In height, sweeping everything before It. The water came down Brewery Gulch about the same time and backed up over six feet deep in the vicinity of the roundhouse. The Cancan restaurant, outhouses, chicken coops were the first to succumb to the torrent and nearly 200 chickens were drowned.

Hail came down with such force as to break heavy roofing, while shake and shingle roofs were riddled as if a cannonade of grapeshot had been turned loose on them. All the windows In the west side of the buildings In town were broken and all tho skylights ruined.

The hailstones were considerably larger than the day before an measured from the size of a pea to two and one-half Inches In diameter. The main wash soon came down with a rush, carrying bridges, barrels and boxes with It. A house Just back of Main street on Tombstone canyon was soon floating down the stream, breaking In pieces before going far. A sick man in the house had hardly gotten out when the building fell Into the creek.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton Still Fighting for the Oppressed Now Battling in Behalf of Those Who Suffer Under Gold's Tyranny. WEALTH HAS NO USE FOR BRYAN. The Old Campaigner Therefore Concludes That His Cause Must Be a Just One. NEW YORK, October 4. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who has for fifty years labored to advance the legal rights of womankind, will conduct a vigorous silver campaign among; women.

Although Mrs. Stanton is on the eve of her eighty-first birthday, she Is still engaged In literary work, and has lost none of her executive ability. "This Is really the first vital Issue to come before the people," she said yesterday at her home, "since the war. Without the aid of women, the anti-slavery advocates would have been many years longer lu bringing about emancipation. Now, we purpose to show the women that the currency question Is almost of as grave Import.

"My plan is to request all the leaders in the Women's Bryan clubs In the city, and the prominent women Interested In economic study, who Bee that the Chicago platform offers such changes as the voters need, to gather to my apartments this week for a conference. "I find that, with few exceptions, society women denounce Bryan. I had depended on the support of the free-suffrage organizations, but the wealthy members say the election of Bryan would barm the interests of their husbands. It is the women of the masses we want to reach. From women of fashion we can expect little.

We shall devise plans for reaching the mothers In humble homes. We want them to see that an opportunity Is offered for the poor man to free himself from the oppression which he now suffers. Our object shall be to send missionaries into the home. "The fact that many ministers have dragged politics Into the pulpit is an Indi cation that the monopolists are becoming alarmed. James U.

Uurney In abolition days said: "The American church Is the bulwark of American Ministers used to take for their texts: 'Servants, obey your master, and then preach that slavery was a divine arrangement. The slaves were told to be contented with their condition. The same words come from the pulpit today. The poor people who are being ground to powder are told to be content hile oppression lives in luxury. "The very fact that the masses are flock ing to the free-Rllver standard would indi cate to me.

If nothing else would, that there Is the cause of Justice and right." Mrs. Stanton was tho first woman to address tho New York Legislature. That was fifty years ago. She was working for the repeal of the old Kngllsh law. under which married woman had no more rights than slaves.

Through her efforts this law was repealed, and In 18-10 she se cured the passage of "Married Woman's Property bill."
