Having succeeded Wednesday afternoon In classi fying to a certain eitent lbs assessment rolls, Ihe board yesterday took up Ihe In dividual assttaanienta with a view to equal ling them. This "eqiislliliig" process wss spplled to moat of lbs wholesale Imple ment firms and before tha board adjourned for the day about 60,0b0 had been added to their assessments. The board declined to Disks public, any figures, as on of tbs ald ermen aisled Ibat "they would probsbly Isks It all bark again before they got through, but, nevertulees, we ara making a bluff at It." When the assessment of the banks came up for discussion Alderman Iougee slated that It appeared to him lha banks had charged off a large amount of real eslsts so tbst It does) not appear In their aasets snd he thought the hoard ought to know whether this real estate was assessed else where. Another laiestlnn in connection with tha assessment of lha banks tame up when City Solicitor Hnyder gave It as his opinion Ibat they were not entitled to an offset for government bonds and he recommended that tha claim for such offsets be denied and the assessment as returned by Asssasor Kverest stand. Such a courss, ba said, would give the hanks an opportunity to ap peal, but tbs city would hava no appeal from Its own action. In this connection, he slated that a rase wss now pending before the state supreme court from Keokuk county Involving this question, and until this was decided tbs city bad belter let the assessment slsnd and not allow tha offset claimed by the banks. Outside of tbs Implement houses none but minor chsnges wera made yesterday In the assessment. The board will meet again Una afternoon and expecta to complete Its work by Saturday.

Majority and Minority. WASHINGTON, AprllOl. The report of the bouts committee on Insular affairs on tbe bill for thn slmlnlstrstlon of civil af fairs In the Philippines wss filed today by Chairman Crxpr. It aays now Is sn opportune limn to make a definite promise to the Filipinos that thry shsll have a share in the central govern ment of tbe Island. Aa to tbe slavery the report says: "The problem presented Is one not to be solved by eloquent denunciation of the sys tem of slavery nor by mere declamation renrernlng the bleselnKS of liberty. Its proper solution demands tactful methods which shsll be st the same time Just and prai tlcahle." The report deotea much attention to the advantages of tbe proposed rolnsge sys tem based 00 thn gold tsndard. which dif fers from the silver system proposed by the senste hill. The continuance of the silver standard In any form which does not rslse the coin to a fixed parity with gold la pointed out to be subjected to the same ohjcrtlona now msdn by the business community of Ma nila against tbe existing system. The democrats filed a minority report, which amounts to a declaration of policy on the Philippines.
