a Wclcomo Reception In Meats'
Hall Last Evening, Where He
Gave a Lecture on "A Night In the
House of Commons" Says the
People of England Greatly Deplore
tlte Death of President McKlnley.
Regards America as a Surprise.
The Hon. William Abrahams, meni
bar of the Hrltlsh parliament from the
Ithoiulda Valley of Wales, arrived In
this city yesterday afternoon at 3.110
o'clock, over the Lackawanna, railroad,
and was nml liy the Hon. H. JI. 1M
wards, president .liulpis of the Lacka
wainiii county courts, whoso uesl ho Is
while in the city.
lie was accompanied liy Ills son. and
loKi'lhor they Were eseorled to JuiIro
irdwards' homo on S'outh Main avenue,
where they were Inlrodueed to it num
ber of callers, in conversation with a
Tribune man, Mr. Abrahams expressed
himself as behiK exceptionally well
pleased with the receptions that hnve
been accorded him wherever he has
visited in the stales since Ills arrival.
"America Is a continuity of surprises,"
he said, "and r. am iimim-d tit its won
derful Rrow tli and development." In
speaking of the death of President Mc
Klnley, ne said thui the people of Kni
land felt keenly his loss and that their
sympathy wns sincere. He is at a loss
to tiiiderstnnd, lie said, how any one
could be so ungrateful as to take un
due advantage of their unlimited pos
sibilities In America, where the nations
of ;he world are welcomed so hospit
ably. KI'OKK LAST MO I IT.
The distinguished visitor gave n
splendid address at M ears' hall last
night ta tin audience thai taxed the
seating capacity, many remaining
standing throughout the lecture. Ills
4.i.;"ct was "A .N'lghl in the House of
commons." which he handled in an
able manner, sometimes using the
Welsh language to more explicitly ex
press his meaning of certain things
which he described.
He showed his familiarity with tlio
mines and tlio perils encountered by
the men who toll in them, and iravo a
description of what they undergo Jn
their dallv work. At the close of his i
address he recited a thrilling iinom in I
elsii. which showed his
aiic ability.

WILL OPPOSE
ANY INCREASE
RECORDER CONNELL'S VIEWS
ON TAX LEVY.
Says That Ho Proposes to Take a
Determined Stand Against Any
Material Increase In the Taxes for
tho Next Fiscal Year Will Not
Hesltato to Exorcise His Power o
Absolute Veto on Items In the Ap
propriation Ordinance, If Occasion
Demands.
llreorder W. L. Council announced
yesterday In tlio ino.'t einphatlo terms
tlinl lie Is opposed to n nmteilnl in
crease In this tax levy for the coming
llscil year over the levy for the pres
ent year.
"You cnu sn.v," said he lo a Trlbtmo
reporter, "Hint T tun opposed lo any
material Increase in this tax levy. Of
course, thero may bo certain things
which will have to be provided for,
and which may necessitate u slightly
increased appropriation, but I shall
not allow, If I can prevent it, n stilll
clent additional expenditure lo bring
Hie (ax levy up any higher tlmn it lias
been. Tim general concensus of opin
ion is thai taxes lire high enough in
tills city, and I'm going to follow this
general trend of thought.
"The very fact Unit the ripper bill
gives councils practically unlimited
power in tlie levying of inxes should
make; them more careful than before
not to abuse their power. Hut if tlio
ripper bill gives council? unlimited
power in Hie inipoitloii of taxes. It
also gives me, as iccordor, absolute
control of the appropriation ordinance, i
any nail of which I can ctil out if 1
feel Hint the expenditure is not neces
wiry. II is needless to say that 1 will
exercise my power in (ills direction if
occasion demands."
MAKING ASSI2SSMKNT.
The board of assessors nre now en
gaged In making assessment for the
next fiscal year, and, as is generally
known, are assessing all properties at
their full value. Instead of at a one
third value, as in the past. The lulli
ng,! will, of course, bo materially re
duced, on account of the increase in
valuations, and Hie tax levj will be
graduated, llrst class properties pay
lug full rates, second class properties,
two-third rates, and third class prop
erties, one-halt rates.
The recorder believes that the bur
den on the owners of first class prop
erties can bo lessened and materially
reduced by tlio equalization in the
value of second class properties. The
assessors have been bringing in wierd
tales of properties which they have
found to have been not assessed for
years and of other properties which
they have found assessed far below
what other properties adjoining have
been assessed.
The equalisation of values by the as
sessing of every property In the city
and the raising of tin: value of those
properties which have not been as
sessed high enough, will have the ef
fect, In the recorder's opinion, of mak
ing the taxes on llrst class propertj.
which will have to pay the highest
rate, no more than they have been in
the past. Those who differ with him
in this respect, say lip takes too hope
ful a view of tlio situation, for Hie
reason that the difference which will be
caused by the second and third class
properties paying only two-thirds and
one-half rates, respectively, will have
to be met.
YALUK OF PROPERTY.
The total'value of properly under Hie
assessment now being made Is var
iously estimated at between Sll3.00u.000
and TO,000,UO(I, though the latter llguro
will probably be found to lie the cor
rect one.
In connection with (he recorder's
statement regarding his intention to
exercise, if necessary, the absolute con
trol over the appropriation ordinance,
vested in him by the "ripper" bill, it
iulerestlng to note that City Solicit
i 1- Watson holds thai he has power no
not
only to cut out entirely any separate
Item from the ordinance, but also lo
cut down or reduce an item, in other
words, he holds that if $30,00ft were ap
propriated for cleaning streets, the re
corder could cut that item down to
$15,000, if ho deemed it too high.
The Supremo court decision sustain
ing tiovernor Stone's action In vetoing
part of the school appropriation, ho
says, upholds this contention,
riNE NEW PIPE OBGAN.
It
Is Being Placed in St. Mary's
Church, Wllkes-Barre.
A line new pipe organ is being plated
in Si. .Mary's Catholln church in
Wllkes-narro. The instrument was
bulll by Miller and Abe of Now York
and will be ready for use about Christ
mas. The instrument Is a three manual
' TiX":
It is located on the
llery over the main entrance to the
church. The console Is extended, the
organist facing Hie altar. The organ Is
".I feet wide. 0 feet deep and " feet
high, The organ contains II speaking
stops (11 In the great. 1! In the swell.

rious parts of thu organ can pe com
bined, I mechanical accessories ni.'d 1-'

X prominent feadiro In the con
structlon of this organ Is the extended
I action, thu console being placed In

and direct tho choir. Lead tubes run
from every key, draw stops, etc,, un

of tho organ. Thero are ss:i of theso
