Ho found fault with the rules as pertaining 10 the school rooms. According to the terms of the rules, The school rooms must be so provided that each pupil wili have 500 cubic feet of air.

Some Vetoes Discussed. Mayor Cushing vetoed an appropriation or- dinanco becauso it had been passed i biank. In this case the ordinance was passed and a mumber of estimates were writtsn in after Tuttlo stated that the mayor's veto was u piece of spito work. The veto was rejected and the ordinance stands. As stated in T Ber, the mayor put in a votoon tho Seegar gasoline lamp contract. He fouu i the contract full of flaws, and said that some of the old contracts are so loosely drawn that the members who voted for them are almost guilty of criminal negligence. Ho recommended readvertising for new bids. Mr. Chaffeo stated that the contract was drawu by the comptroller and submitted to the city attorney. Mr. Poppleton looked the contract over and found but one serious objection, which he instructed the comptroller o correct be- fore signing, Mr. Olsen was not in favor of readvertis- ing, but wanted sixteen candle power lamps and favored such a clause being inserted in the contract, Mr. Davis thought the contract properly drawn and the city’s rights protected. Mr. Blumer talked in favor of inserting the sixteen candle power clause, The veto was sustained by a vote of 10 to 7. Mr. Olsen moved the contract be referred and the mayor's suggestious bo imcorporated, Mr Cooper stated tho veto was a scheme \m keep tho contract in the hands of the Ohio people. He stated that he would never vote - 10_approve auother bill of the Ohio company. Mr. Chaffee spoke in the samo strain. President Lowry stated that the Ohio peo- ple have made their boasts that they will get tho contract for gasoline, notwithstanding tho fact that thoy were the highest bidders. Mr. Morearty flew to the reliof of the mayor and objected to having any person mix bim up in a gasoline deal, The Hubert smoke consumer was knocked out of the city hall boilers as Tur Ber predicted. ~The mayor sent in his veto, and stated ‘that he is Informed thav the smoke consumer is not what some people claim forit. e favored a consumer, but wanted it on trial for at least threo months, and then a bond that it will do the work. Upon a vote Mr. Tuttic was the only man who voted for the Hubort patent. About Street Improvements, Henry Pundt roconsidercd his refusal to accept ‘#00 as damages resulting from the change of grade of Douglas street. The pro position to build a sewor to con- nect with tho hospital sower was rejected Mount & Grifin protested against the city leasing Thirteenth street, north of Nicholas, The Bee building company filed a com- munication by which it was Shown that the water conductors ou the new city hall run the water into the basemeut of Tur Ber building. The matter was referred. J. C. Cowan, attorney for some of the judg- ment creditors of the city, asked that tho council take steps to liquidate some of the old judements. Referred to the board of equalization. ’rotests against paving certain stroets in Orchard Hill were presented und referred. Scegar's Contract Somo More. At this powt Mr. Chaffee aroso and road tho rules of the council, which provide, “that & vote on the passage of a vetoed or- dinance, contract or resolution cannot be re- considered.” He said, “‘the Seegar contract Tis dead and it is all folly to talk about award- ing it. The way things aro now running it 18 timo for the city to got to work and ro-ad- vertiso for bids,” This brought Mr. Olsen to his feet, aftor which ho urged that it would be all right to amend th ontract, Assistunt City Attornoy Shoemaker sided with Mr. Olson. Mr. Chaffee suggested that in future the roper thing to do would bo to refer matters the mayor before thoy come to the council, Mr. Cooper objected to the amendmont of tho coutract **for," ho said, “it the contract was drawn to suit the mayor he would find some excuse for & voto," Prosident Lowry ruled the discussion out £ ordo Mr. Elsasser introduced a resolution which was adopted, instructing the committes on gas and electric lights and_the gas inspector 10 take stops looking to tho lighting of tho @ty with gasoline lamps. The work to be done by the city instead of by contract. Mr. Tuttle iutroduced a resolution, which was adopted, that the comptroller be tostructod to advertise for bids for lighting eertain portions of the city. The advertise- ment will be published for” five days and the varties bidding must state candle the power they proposo to furnish. Bids will be weceived ou gas, gasoline and electric lights, The Ohio street lighting company offered o coutinue the lighting of tne streets until Beptember 1, or until aunother contract is made and approved. The proposition was epted, and the city will coutinue to puy 9 per lamp per annum. Ordinances and Keports, Tho orainances fixing the salary of the Aantary commissionor and defiulng his Suties ‘was passed. When appoluted that tleman will receive a salary of $1,200 per num. Upou wotion of Mr. Chaffee, tho ordinsuce providing that commission merchants shall pay a license was placed on file, The report of Mr. Specht on the ordinance recommended its passage. Tho chief of police was instructed 1o abate nuisance at Forty-fifth and Cuming streets, | 'he nuisance is Ernest Reod’s dairy, where | ho feeds his cows bariey malt that i stale, The asphalt petition for repaving Park avenue was presented to the council. It shows that only one-sixth of the frontage on the street has petitioned for that material The petition was placed on file. The committee on fire and water reported on the bill of the waterworks company that has been in dispute for somo time. Thoe commit- teo reported in favor of deducting $700 from the bill The contractor was fnstructed to resume the work of grading Twonty-eighth street, from Leavenworth street to Poppleton avenue, By rosolution of Mr. Donnelly the $500 check put up by Mr. Seezar was ordered re- turned and the council went into committee of the whole, with Mr. Bechel in the chair to consider the bids for furnishing the furni- ture for the new city hall, Talked About Furniture. Mr. Davis spoke first, saying that the noti- fication by postal card was not good. He moved that all bids be rejocted and returned unopened Mr. Osthoft did not like the idea. As chairman of the committeo on public prop- erty and buildings he was instrumental in zetting the furniture men to furnish plans and submit bids. Mr. Chaffee said such a move would be no competition. The committee should have secured plans first and thon let averybody bid on the plans. As the matter now stands, each man has bid on his own plans, and the council has nothing to say about the plans. Mr. Davis wanted good work, but - wanted to see plans before accepting bids. Mr. Olsen said the committee had followea out the rules adopted by the board. He wanted to consider the plans and bids, and if not suitablo throw them all out. Mr. Oslhoff saia the city is not under any obligation to accept if the bids ana plans are not according to the idea of the council. Mr, Olsen considered it premature to open the bids. Mr. Specht wanted the representatives of the two houses to come inside the rail and explain their design Mr. Chaffee said there were others who wanted to bid on the work, but did not have an opportuuity. Mz, Tuttle said the time had been extended once. He objected to an extension, saying that the extension was in the interest of cer- tain persons. Mr. Bruner, a member from the Bighth ward, spoke, favoring an extension of time. He thought an advertisement should have been mserted in the daily papers. Mr. McLearie said that letters have beon sent to all of the oftice furnishing houses. Mr. Qsthoff said that plans would cost 5,000, and it would be bettor to open tho bids if the bidders would agree that their plans would not cost the city any thing. A membor from the Bighth ward, a Mr. Bruner, spoke again, and favored roturning the bids with the hopes of securing more competition, 1t Came to Naught. Prosident Lowery objected to plaving the gasoline lamp act. “He did not think it would bo right to open the bids unless the council mtended to tako final action. Ho did not propose to bave the bids opened and let some other con tractor know the other’s prices. Mr. Olson objected to being called a baby and wanted Mr. Lowry to retract. Mr. Morearty ook excoptions to being led a baby. He proposed to stand by the committee, President Lowry said: “If you open the bids you will" have another gasolino fight on your hauds. The advertisement was uot according to law, and if vou go on with this matter the highest bidder can como in and prevent you from letting the contract to the lowest bidder.’ The bids weve finally returned unopencd, the time for receiving additional bids ex- tended until August 15 and tho committea tructed to advertise in the newspapers in order to give notice to parties who may want to come in and compete.

New Yonk, July 21.—It is more than probable, says the Herald, that before this week closes a most important railroad deal will be brought to a close. When Dr. Seward Webb started his Adirondack & St. Law- rence road many people believed the New York Central was behind the enterprise and that the intention was to freeze out the Chateaugay road and so bring the Delaware & Hudson canal company to terms. For the last three weeks Dr. Webb and Smith M. Weed have had almost daily conferences in Plattsburg and at Shelburne, and as Mr. Weed conirolled three-fifths of the Chateau- gny stock a deal was soon arranged which virtually gave Webb control of the road ata prico which cannot yet be learned. A pro- vision of the agresment was, however, that the Delaware & Hudson, in which Weed is a heavy stockholder, would come to some agree- ment. Last week Mr, Weed met Colonel Cannon, President Oliphant ana other large stock: holders of the road in New York and ex- plained to them that they had botter sell out their entire railroad system to the Vander- bilts, Mr. Weed, it is said, ¢ xplained to tho terested persons that their coal property was of much greater value than the railroad system and that the New York Central had already agreed to give them a fair tonnage rato on_tho coal and a good price for the stock of the road. Mr. Weed said that he had given Dr. Webb an option on the Cha- teaugay road, which brought the Delawaro & Hudson most of their Chomplin division earnings. The Delaware & Hudson people were very angry at Mr. Weed, but he told them toat they could have his Chateaugay road _on the same terms as Dr. Webb had offered him; that the road was In the market, and that he would rather s00 it controlled by the Delaware & Hudson than by any other company, but that to him it was plain that the Central would parallol the road, and that now was the time to get out. Sinco that time Mr. Oliphant has been the guest of Mr. Weed and the New York Cen- tral people have inspected the Delaware & Hudson property and things have been very friendly ~ between all those lutereste Wednesday a meeting of the Delaware & Hudson directors will be held in New York, if they can bo got together. Mr. Weed and General Manager lnman of the Chatouugay will bo present, and it is belioved that tho terms which Dr. Webb has offered will be accopted and that the Vanderbilt will control the entire Delaware & Hudson and Cnateau- guy systems. e VAN Dr. Birney cures catarch, Bee bldg, i s PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS, C.

Seoratary Rusk has Discovered the Oausa of the Dreaded Fever. ANOTHER BACILLUS RUN TO EARTH. A Forthcoming Government Bulletin Will Tell all About Him—Inter esting Gossip Picked up at the Chicago Hotels. Cnicaco Orpice or Tar Be Ciicaco, July 21 Hope dawns for the Texas steer. The do- partment of agriculture, under the benign management of Secretary Rusk, has taken his case in hand and unless the scientis employed by that branch of the government aro very much mistaken ho will soon be re- J from the social ostracism to which ho has been so long subjected, “For some time,"” said Secretary Rusk at the Grand Pacific, “we have boen investigat- ing what is known as Texas or splenetic fever and feel reasonably certain that we have discovered the cause. All the evidence points to a small insect similar to what s popularly known as the tick. The theory that the feveris produced by this parasite has loug been entertained, but we now think that wo have proven this beyond a doubt and that we have a remedy which will effectually stay its ravages. We had somo of the eggs of this tick brought to Washington and hatched there. They were then placed in a fiold whore cattlo wore grazing and several of tho animals wero subsoquently attacked with Toxas fover. Upon examination every one of them was found to bo infested by these ticks. All the healthy animals were free from them. As to tho romedy proposod I will not undertake to say anything at pres- ent, as the wholo subject will bo tholoughly covered in a bullotin soon to bo issucd by the department, “The secretary expressed himself as moro than pleased with the results of thenew in- spection law. Pork inspection will begin in Omaha some timo this fall and will necessi- tate an increase of aboutthirty experts in tho present force. “I have every reason to hope,” said the secretary, “that the embargoes which now exist agalust American lve stock products will either bo greatly modified or entirely re- moved. In England, for instance, American cattle are no longer held for ten days before being slaughtored, us was formerly the case, but tho butchers are glad to et and kill them as soon as possible after their arrival, e brass tags which we put.in the ears of all inspected cattlo is taken as a guarantee of their soundness. “As a result of the rigid separation of all Texas cattle from other stock, the death rate on vessels which was formerly 12 to 16 per cent is now from 1 to 2 per cent, and the insurance rate which was formerly $10 per head has been reduced to $2 per head.” THE TARIFF NOT AN ISSUE. According to G. V. Stevenson, a prominent bustness man and a republican of Cincinnati, the taniff question will cut very littie figure in the gubernatorial contest in Ohio. 1 my opinion,” said he at the auditorium, “‘tho purty lines will be pretty closely drawn, Major McKinley is a very popular man with Ohio republicans and will come very near drawing out the full strength of his party. This will not_indicate by any meaus that protection is the popular faith or that the MelCinloy bill moots " with " unqualified up- proval. “Cumpbell, on tho other hand, is very strong with the rank and file of the demo- crats and will poll nearly all the votes they can give him. In Cinciinati aud iz Hamil- ton county it is true there is at present mani- fested some pretty vigorous opposition to him but this is not nearly so bad as it ap- pears on the surface. The real opvosition 1s confined to what in Cincinnati we cali the ‘workors, or professional politiciaus, The people gencrally rogard him as an hone: capgvie man and I think he will got thei supfort. Evon the politicians I think will also come around before election day us dem- ocrats usually do notwithstanding all threats to the contrary.’ DISENTEGRATION OF THF KANSAS ALLIANCE. Lawyer G. W. Grogory of Osage City, Kan., who 1s in the city for several days vis: iting his brother W.C. Gregory of uie Journal, says all signs point to ropublican victories in neurly all of the county elections in that state this fall. “The Kansas alliance,” said he, ‘1s made up of men who think they can legislate them- selves rich, During tho last campaign the alliance ovators pledged themselves to do everything everybody wanted them to, and as a result a great many people were disap- pointed. Tothe democrats the candidates for tke legislature promised to vote for re- <ubmission and to the prohibitionists they vromised to oppose it. After they wero elected they almost to a man opposed resub- mission, and as a result have made enemies of the democrats, and the indications are that the democrats, to demonstrate that they can no longer beused as catspaws, will put’inde- pendent tickets in the lield av the coming county elections. RECOVERING UROM 175 BOOM. Another Kansas lawyer, Mr. H. M. Wisler of Hutchinsou, who is stopping at the Wellington, says that Kansas is getting on a better financial basis every year. “All the indications,” said ne, “point to a bountiful harvest tbis year and the farmers are feeling very cheerful over the outlook, The storics about the immense number of mortgages which are said to cover the state like a blauket are greatly exaguerated. The farm- ers of Kuusas aré not nearly so bad off as he geieral puvlic has been led to believe. he state, cities ana all, has been suffering from an overdose of boom, but it is recover: ing from that and I think 1301 will prove ono of the best, so far as solid, permanent growth is concerned, in the history of the state.” CALIFORNIA NOT FOLLOWING STANFORD. * As a financial prophet and leader Senator Leland Stanford, according to Mr. Dixwell Hewett of San Irancisco, is without honor in his own country and among his own people. Asied how the senator’s great governmeut loaning schewme was received on the Pacitic coast, Mr. Hewitt said: “On this subject thu people of his own state coincide most heartily with the rest of the country in writing him down as an ass, They are too shrewd and know too muoh about the world to be caught by any such cheap bait. If the sonator has presidentinl aspirations he will recoive very little encouragement for them in California, He can probubly be sent to the United States senate as ofton as ho likes, because his friends can always buy that noble body of boodlers at Sacramento, but when it comes to getting the vote of the people, that is another matter, The fact is that California is not a good climate for vis- ionary financial schemes, PIGMIES FOR THE FAIR, An entire tribe of Afrlcan pigmies is to be exhibited at the world’s fair. Lieutenant Schufeldt sent a cablegram yesterday say- ing that Pinkapoo Tib has given his consent 10 the removal of the tribe to Chicago. Al that now remains to be done to get the pig- mies is to obtain the consent of the King of Belgium. This will bo done through the state dopartment at Washington. Dispatches wore sent to Seoretary Blaiue's assistant vesterday asling Lim to sscure tho consent of the king of Belgium at once, The pig- mies that Lieutenant Schufeldt has secured live in Zanzibar, Thoy ave about four feot tall and will form an interesting section of the ethnological exhibit. Thelittle creatures will bave one section of the department to themselves, where they can live just as they do in Zanzibar, SLIGHTLY ECOENTRIO, In the Leland last night Rey, Henry Wun- der was performing the marriage ceremony for Dr, L. P. Erman and Miss Adelardt Crafton, both of St. Louis, when the groom stopped the proceedings and insisted that his intendea should change the blue dress she was weariug for a gray one. Miss Crufton complied, and the cevemony reached a suc- cessful tormination. The groom then offered 10 match the minister to see whether hoe should pay bim §50 or nothing, but the divine vefused.

Indications That the Western Passer ger Association's Days Are Num- bered—Atchison Wants Its Share. Crtreaao, July 21.—The opinion is becom- ing general that there are to be important developments soon in tho fight wagod against tho Alton road. Aithough Chairman Finley denies that his course in dealing with that company has been prompted by any other in- fluence than his own judgment, it is argued by the knowing ones that his ‘actions have been directly in line with a plan to force the Altori nto the Western TraMe association. It was admitted at the recent meeting of the prosidents that unless the roads now outside the association could bo brought into that part of tho agreomont relating to a division of competitive traflic, it could not succoss- fully ve carried out. ‘The impression prevails that if the Alton could be induced to sign the nresidents’ agreement the other outside roads would fol low suit; hence no other line has boon in- eluded in the pressure brought to bear on tho Al Forcing thom out of the Western as- sociation is believed by many to have been simply a step in the plan of coercion. The next step, according to rumor, will bo an alli ance between the eastorn and western roads for the purpose of extending tho boycott in augurated against the Alton by the trunk lines in the Central Traffic association. The object of the eastorn roads is to force that company to discontinue the payment of pas souger commi ons in their territory while tho western lines want to compel it to be- come a membor of the Westorn Trafiic asso- ciation. 1t is understood that the present iden is to extend that so that it will include froight as well as passenger traftic, Report has it that_an_order will issucd to tho lines fn tho Western Trafic association, as well as thoso in the Contral Traflic association, dirceting them to discon- tinue their pro-rating arrangements with tho Alton as far as possible and to cense their presen. relations with that road. None of the trans-Missouri lines ara to turn over to it any through freight that can be diverted to other roads and its connections at Chicago and St. Paul are to follow out a similar pre gramme. The purpose seems to be to close all tho outlets of the Alton east and wost and to bottlo 1t up so comp letoly that it will be un- able to do anything but a local business. The weak point in the plan is that it would ot deprive the Alton of the power to do mis- chief. for by a wholesale slashing of rates it could prevent the other roads from deriving any benefit from the heavy increase in ton- nage that it is oxpected to mark tho remain- ing mouths of the year. CHARLTON STILL DEFIANT. Chairman Finley of the Western Passenger association addressed a_brief lotter to Gen- eral Passenger Agent Charlton of tho Alton vond today, ncknowledging the reccipt of the communication in regard to the reduced rates for the various exvositions and fairs and saying he would make the Alton’s posi tion known to the members. Flo added that he would like to have tho Alton’s concur- rence in the proposed rates. To this Mr. Chiarlton roplied: WMy loter of tho 20t instant is final onjthe question. You cannot have our concurrence in anything in which wo have not been consulted und on which we have not had an opportunity to vote on equal terms with any line in your association.” ATCHISON WANTS ITS SHARE. The Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fo com- pany has notificd Chalrman Finloy that it will make a rate of 37.50 from Peoria to Niagara Falls and return_by way of Chicago August 6. Tho Lake Shoro and the Big Four had previously advertised such a_rato for the date named, but refused to make it good by way of Chicago, and to meet this competition the Atchison has perfected ar- rungements with the Nickle Plato to make the same rate apply by way of this city. CLEARING TITE MARKET. The Chicago & Erie has decided to wait a fow days boforo making an opon reduction in the passenger rate from Chicago to Boston, pending the steps that are being taken by tho eastbound commission to clear the market of cutrate tickets. The Erie people have dis- covered seveuty-ono of the tickets in brok- ers’ oftices aud a number of othors have been found and purchased by agents of tho Cen- tral Traic association. Nearly all theso tickets are issued by Now Eugland lines which are fighting among themselves. Another Line to Chicago. Gosiey, Ind., July 21.—Thero is hardly a doubt now that tho Toledo & Chicago Bee line, the new short line from Toledo to Chi- cago, will be completed beforo snow flies. “Tho right of way from Toledo to Goshon s purchased and the contracts for building the road the groater part of this distance havo alrcady been let. The projectors are the peo- ple of the Brice-Thomas syndicate. The road will furnish a short eutranco to_Chicago for the Wabash, the Lake Erio & Waestera, the Monon and the Canadian Pacific. Tho Wa- bash peovle will furnish the erentor part of the mouey necessary to complete the line to LaPorte, Inda.,, and the Lake Erie & Waestern will furnish the means for the con- stry on of the lineto Chicago, The shons of the road will probably be located here, this being the half way pointand toe citi: 5 having offered 1and over 850,000 cash for them. soon be Railroad Men.
