It will be gratifying news to you, if you have a fire insur ance policy, to know that the companies that are represented in Lancaster are still in busi ness. The Baltimore fire en tailed pretty heavy losses on them, but no heavier than they sail readily pay up and leave their capital unimpaired. Some of the English companies will pay their losses from the home office, not touching their United States assets. Vf WT r? nu. ? ? *?i v>ooi o. tf . iy j viid'IUU^l 9| P. D. Pressley and C. M.

' A Word to tho Township Hoards ot Equalization. Tho time is drawing near for our efficient County Auditor Cook to call a meeting of the various township boards of equalization for the purpose of canvassing all tax returns of their respective townships and I wish to suggest to each and every member of the several boards to acquaint themselves more thoroughly with the dif ferent grade and class of per Ronal property in their imme diate sections, such as horses, mules and cattle. This will enable them the better to per form their duties?all property should be assessed at (50 per cent, of its actual cash value. I would also suggest that the township boards take more time in canvassing the returns. The law allows more than one day to do this work in and they l should take more time and do t the work more thoroughly. Members of the county board should also put in more than one day'9 work. As a member 1 of the county board I have ob- 1 - served that a certain class of property, such as horses, mules and cattle, is much higher rated in some townships than in 1 others. This should not be and the county board should rectify it. Very respectfully, i'> J. Wren Tillman, Ch. Co. Bd. Equalization. Senator IIougli returned to his post in Columbia several days ago. Mr. J.

Washington, Feb. 15.?Information has heen rpcpive/1 here that nearly 20,000 Japanese troops were landed at Chemulpo yesterday, the first division of a large number which will be thrown into Corea as rapidly as possible, in the efFort to thoroughly occupy the strategic points in the Hermit Kingdom while the Russian fleet is bottled up in Port Arthur. By one conversant with the Japanese plans, it is stated that the repeated attacks on Port Arthur are not for the purpose of seizing that place at present unless an unexpected weakness in the fortifications there should develop. They are part of a well defined plan for the harassing of the Russian fleet until Corea can be occupied. Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister, called upon Secretary Hay today and it is understood that the reported detention of about loo Japanese subjects in Port Arthur was under discussion. There seems to he lack of positive information on this subject and until the facts are known the State department is inclined to go slow in making representations to Russia. It is bound to do so, however, if Japan formally ivquests it, as the department has undertaken to represent Japan so far as the interests of Japanese subjects in Russia are concerned.
