Monsures to Bo Takon to Improve Ger- many’s Finauces. Benury, Jan, 10, —~Emperor William opened the Prussian Dict in the white hall of the castle today.

The governwment, the emperor said, would con- tinue its efforts to promote the prosperity of the agricultural classes 50 a3 to enable them 10 cope with the bad times and would also endeavor to efiect the requisite chauge in the laws relating to land which were re- garded nocessary by agricultural bodics. In conclusion, the emperor siid, with spe- cial emphasis on this passage, thav the gov- ernment was preparing to Ccarry measures which would improve the credit system and removo the evils resulting from oxcessive debts on land and which would ameliorate the conditions under which land owners at present obtain loaus.

Lours, Jan. 16.—A special to the Post- Dispatch from Tallahassee says: 1f Gov- ernor Mitchell hus any intention of abaddon- ing his fight agmaost the Duval Athletic ciub he does not show any signs of it. On the coutrary, he is more determined than ever, and, what is more, he has laid pluns which he savs cannot fail. When approached today he said: “You can announce thav I'm going to prevent this fight, for that is what it is, no matter what other terms are applicd to it. “But itis hinted that the Jacksonville militia has declined to aid you!” “That is not true,” sald the covernor sharply, *‘but if they did happen to decline, it would not affect my plans in the slighest degree. 1'm going to prevent that fight and that is all there is about 1t. Corbett and Mitchell cannot fight in this state.” “Have you read that the club has several other plans in view it Jacksonville is aban- doned?” was asked. “I have,” said Governor Mitchell. “and 1 repeat that the fight shall be prevented in the state of Florida, I grant you thoy may sneak off in the woods somewhero and have it out, but I don’t see how even this can be done. I shall not call upon the Jucksonville militia. Some of them are in favor of the fight and have friends who are interosted.” ‘Then you will employ the militia of some portion of the stute?” *You may draw your own conclusion. The adjutant gereral has planned every point which might be available, and kLis men are men who may bo depended upon.

There witl, I repeat once more, be no prize fight here.” The adjutant general would say nothing of his plans further than that the fight would surely pe prevented. Not So Almighty Certain. JKSONYVILLE, Jan, 16, —Manager Bowden’s and in Pallahassee was the principal sub- ject of convorsation among the followers of the Corbett-Mitchell contest today. Al- though dispatches this afternoon aunounced that his interview with Governor Miichell was of a private nature, still the statement that the situation is unchanged gives friends of the Duval club reason to hope nothing i developed uverse to the interests of the club, ‘Tonight n great crowd of citizens thronged Metropolitan hall, called thero to protest against the intended action of Governor Mitchell in ealling out the militia to pre- vent the Corbett-Mitohell contest. Speeches were made of u flery nature, some of the most prominent men in the city responding to calls from r~the audience. After three of the city councilmen had spo- iken, saying they protestea more against the insult offered the city as a law-abiding city than against the anvicipated stopping of the contest, the fotlowing resolutions were in- troduced and adopted amiast great applause and muel excitement: Wheroas, It Is currently reported on the streets of Jucksonville” that Hon. H. L. Mitchell, governor, has Instructed a number of n ry companies throughout the state to report {n the clty of Jacksonville on the 24th inst. for the purpose of maintsining and pre- serving the ;rm:c: and Wherens, Therc.are no indicationsof an: breach of the peace with which the civ. authoritics of the city and the county are not tully able to cope; and Unwarranted Beyond Auy Doubt. Whereas, Wo doem the massing of troops in this city utiwarranted by Iaw and u serious re- “lection upon tho character of our citizens and a serions detviment to the business interests ot the city; therefore, the city of Jucksonville and Duval county, in mass meeting assembled, pursuant to o call of o large number of our eminent husiness men, do resolve s follows: First--We earnestly protest against threatened massing of troops 1 our city, we having ample confidenco in_ the civil local authorities und tholp ablllty fully to proserve the penco and maintuin the dignity of this city and county, Seeond=—That ' we, Individually and collec- tively, pledze ourselves to aid'the sherift in all luwful efforts to discharge his duties and to maintain and preserve the peace and fully enforce the law. Third—That we carnestly protest against such rumored nctlon oi the PArt of tho gov- ernor and most respectfully request that he desist therefrom and leave the conduct and guidunce thercof to the civil luw authorities. Fourth- hat a copy of these resolutions be sont tho governor. Then the meeting adjourned. From scatiments expressed bysthe promi- nent citizens after the meeting. it seems should the military be ordered out serious trouble will certainly follow. One man, who is well known at the Florida bz, expressed himself as follows: ~If Governor Mitchell orders out the mili- tla to suppress an anticipated riov he will, instead, precipitate a riot us sure as I stand on my feet this moment. 1f the Lreops come to Jucksonville January 25 murder will' be done and Governor Mitchell wjll be respou- sible for it.” The crowd was workad up to a high pitch of excitement and threats were frequenily heurd that the first attempt by the military would result in bloodshed. This is the gen- eral opinion throughout the city.

Laoy st AGREEMENT VIILl"_ BE REACHED TODAY e Canadian Pacific to e Given Advantages that Will Cause it to Oancel Lts Contract with! the Steam- ship Company. Onreaco, Jan, 10.—(Speclal Telegram to Tur Ber. | —A definite settlement of trans- continental rate troubles before twenty- four hours has elapsed is now almost as- sured. George Olds, general traffic managor of the Canadian Pacifie, the road which has proved the disturbing factor in all the efforts for an agreement, arrived at the Great Northern hotel this morning, and in a short time the representatives of three other big lines were at work upon the Cana- dian manager. No formal meeting is in progress, the railroad men merely holaing informal discussions of the situation in their apartments. General Passenger Agent Lomax of the Union Paeific said to Tus Bes correspond- ent this atternoon: “So far we have been unable to reach an agreement with the Canadian Pacific. There will in all proba- bility be a conclusive agreement before to- morrow evening.” If the terms should be accepted by the Canadian road it will be done with the understauding that its claims for differ- entials on Pacific coast business have been abandoned. The Great Northern, the North- ern Pacific ana the Canadian Pacific will then endeavor to work in harmony. Some Contraocts Must Be Unneellod. ‘Tho vext step will be to induce the Can- adian road to cancel its contracts with the Paeific Const Steamsnip company and dis- continue its water route from Victoria and ncouver to San Francisco. The Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Southera Pacific combined wiill agree to furnish the Canadian road an all rail route from New Whatcom clear through to San Francisco. They will further offer to haul a tourist car as far as Tacoma, By_this plan it is argued that the revenue of the Canadian on all rail business will amount to as much as it now does on business sent via water from Van- couver to San Francisco.. It is along this line of procedure that all transcontinental roads hope to reach an agreement with the Canadian line which will prevent future demoralization of rates. There is hardly any doubt that the Western Passenger assocfation roads will ratify such an agreement, but it is Intimated that an effort will be made to bring the Union Pacific and the North Pacific coast lines into the immigrant clearing house agree- ment before such ratification is carried out. The situation is one that would give the Chicago-St. Paul lines an opportunity to try to obtain any concessions which they might particularly desiré. Whether they would gain them is another question.

The names sent to the council last night were sent to the committeo on judiclary, ns wero those sent in a week before. No report was fortheoming on thoso first submitted, and what the council will known quantity as it was before. Hascall had nothing to say concerning im- peachiment, although ho had kept the clty clerk’s stenographer busy in executive ses- sion all the afternoon, hammering out mys- terious manuscript on the typewriter behind closed doors. A large gathering of would-be appointees and their friends crowded the lobby, and a number of curious ones, who had expected to sec something sonsational, were on hand early to witness the fun, but they were dis- appointed, and as soon as the committee on Judierary passed without bringing forth the anticipated dificulty there was & no- ticeable thinning of the ranks. X Avother Batch of Appointments, Tho following appointments were sent {n and referred to the committee on judiciary: Dr. J. J. Saville, health commissioner; James Gilbert, gus inspector; John Mathie® sen, superintendent city hall; Joseph Michal, clerk of polico court; Charles Sandenburg, boiler inspector: A. C.

The let- ter was accompanied by another from Street Sweeping - Coutractor Stephenson, who said he was ready - to employ men at current wages whenever ordered to proceed with work on the streets. He suggested thay employment be given ounly to married men or those having families to support, who were actual residents of Omabha. He also suggested that it would be wise to alternate the forces from day to day, so as to give work to as yreat a number as possible, and that the money he paid to the wives of the men so employed so as to insure 1ts expenditure for the necessaries of life. Suggestions of the Mayor.

The queston 1s not one of “work .or starve;” 1t is rather ono of finding work or starving. I bolieve the city should exercise every power at its disposal to pre- vide employnient for those desiring work for the support of themselves and families, While it s true that the city has no fundsat its disposul for the relief of those in distress, it cun adopt measures wheroby u considorable amount of employmont can lawfully be furnished, apd thereby relleve a large amount of suffering. With this view, I sug- est that action be taken by’ your honorabie dy wuthorlzing the Bourd of Publio Works to require as much work as may bo practicable duting the winter months to be done under the to r cont cluuse of the stroet sweoping 1 have no doubt that o Satistactory arrangement could bo mudo with Ir.
