Clerk L0ew asking for an appropriation Of $l0 450
for the payment Of salaries
The COMPTROLLER said that the appropriation for
this account was already exhausted and If the
Board were to increase these appropriations, one
after the other, he thought that was not the way
to reduce the expenses Of the city. The County
Clerk had already received $35 900.
Mayor HALI-The County Clerk has, / know In
order that his clerks may be paid foregone ths
drawing OF his own salary, and think any man
who does that, from the President downward, Is
very estimable man.
The CoMrTR0LLER-That is q very easy thing for
the County Clerk TO do. His fees give to him one
Of the most lucrative Offices In the city, and his
salary, az fixed by the Legislature Is $4,000. Mr..
Loew has his fees.
After a long discussion 1t was decided that the
application should lie over until the next Meeting.

Comptroller, the President OF the Department Of
Public Parks and the President OF the Department
of Public Works.
Ex-Judge Edmonds, as counsel for the Tenth Ma
tlonal Bank made an application to the Board that
$242 $40 04 be appropriated, either by bond or 9TH
erwise, for advances made by the above bank to
the Court House Commissioners. The Judge re-
capituated the position in which the bank
stood with reference to those claims, and
urged o decision by the Board. the
Board refused to make this appropriation, he said
he would then be in position to apply for legal
remedy. He read the decision OF Judge Barrett
asserting the legality Of the claim, and which re-
ferred the bank to the Board OF Apportionment.

next to consider the claim OF the bank.
The C0MPrRoLLER was strongly OF an opinion that
longer time was requisite for proper investiga
tion. Nearly all the claims Of the Tenth National
Bank had been adjusted, and ne believed that
Court had ordered would show that while the bank
had made payments In good faith the checks OF the
Treasurer OF the Commission, Mr.. Ingers0I, would
show different result. The Department OF FL
nance was certainly not in position to take up
this investigation in preference to that Of other city
creditors.
APPROPRIATION TO FREE SCHOOLS.
The Comptroller moved the foowing:-

Board all they can gather to enable this Board to deter

Commissioner VAN MORT moved that the resi-

charitable appropriations between and among the
free schools OF the city under private auspices, and
that Dr. Henry Jay Anderson and Lawrence d..
Kiernan, OF the Department of Public Instruction,
report at the earliest possible day what schools

such residue; provided that the same be without
any expense.
This was carried, the Comptroller voting in the
negative.

Indirect Damages.

The idea that war is imminent
between England and the United
States on account Of our claims pre-.
scented to the Geneva Commission
for consequential damages" is SIM
ply proposterous. That the English
people and press should feel q little
worried and somewhat belligerent
over these claims Is natural enough.
The question is Understandable just
how long the war was prolonged and
what the amount of consequent loss
es to the country by the Alabama
which was permitted to leave the
English ports to prey upon our COM
MERGE. Our government has made
no absolute demand on this ground,
but simply ask the consideration of
such losses. 1t was and is TO be sup
posed that England's cease" contains
like claims for damages through the
Fenian raids and fishery troubles.
To the arbitrators ct Geneva are by
agreement left the settlement of all
these questions, and we see no reason
to believe that q war is imminent,
or that either government will! bolt

How Four Young Men Of Dubuque
Propose to Go to Cuba.

One of the most novel and adventur-
Gus enterprises of which we have
heard recently, has been projected by
four young men Of this city. They
propose just as soon as naviga>
ton opens, to start on trip for the
much disturbed island of Cuba The
expedition will be made in a boat
twenty-five feet IN length and six
feet beam. The young mariners are
now engaged in fitting the miniature
vessel up, and will 80 arrange it that
they will be sufficiently protected
from the inclemency of the season
They intend to lay in a stock of
provisions sufficient to last six
months, and will go from Dubuque
directly TO tho Gulf of Mexico; keep
close to the coast, they will sail
around the Gulf to the shores of Flor
ida, and from there will sail for Cuba.
Four years is the length of time
allotted for their absence. The young
gentlemen are well known here, and
the adventurous spirit which they
are manifesting will attract public
attention. Dubuque Telegraph

Important Railroad News The
shullsburg Route to Dubuque
Adopted by Milwaukee.

The special committee of the CITY
council of Milwaukee TO whom was
referred the propositions of the
dubuque, Platteville and Milwaukee
K. r., )" and the Eastern Lafayette
and Milwaukee Il. Reach asking
aid TO the amount Of $50 00O-have
decided in favor of the latter road,
aud so reported 10 the City Council
of Milwaukee on Tuesday last. This
probably settles the question Of
Milwaukee aid TO one of these routes
The report of the committee con-
cludes as follows:
Having decided that aid should be given at
all, your committee are unanimously of the
opinion that il should be given TO the Eastern
Lafayette and Milwaukee Railroad, and for
the following reasons
First--It is, as near az your committee can
ascertain, twenty-six miles shorter than the
proposed Dubuque and Milwaukee Railroad.
As by this road Milwaukee will compete at
Dubuque for the business of that place, and
Tor the business OF large portion of the State
OF Iowa, with the city OF Chicago, il is all
imporian. that the line of road from Dubuque
be as short and direct as it can possibly be
made. By this route the distance from Du-
buque 10 Milwaukee is nineteen miles less
than from Dubuque TO Chicago.
Sscond-Ihe representatives of the Du-
buque, Plattevile and Milwaukee Railroad
do not claim in their proposition 10 be able to
cross the Mississippi River al Dubuque on the
bridge, but end their road on the Mississippi
River nearly opposite Dubuque, thereby max
ing the feriiage of cars necessary. The repre-
sentatives OF the Eastern La Fayeite and
Milwaukee Railroad are guaranteed the use
OF the bridge at Dubuque Tor crossing their
trains. This your committee believe 70 be a
matter Of the first importance, and has mater
tally Influenced 1t at arriving at this conclu-
sion.
Third--The road to which your committee
recommend aid should be given traverses the
entire lead and zinc region of our State, thus
securing the trade thereof to our city. By
giving aid TO the Dubuque, Patteyille and
Milwaukee Railroad, thereby causing its con-
structlon, this important trade would be
nearly all lost to us. The region of country
lying moth of the Prairie du Chen Division
of the S.. Paul Railroad, must Of necessity
find its outlet over some road coming TO Mill
waukee. Your committee therefore believes
that in the matter OF local traffic there is little
to be lost and much to be gained By adopting
the shorter route.
Your committee therefore unanimously beg
leave TO report in favor of accepting the pro-
position of the Eastern La Fayette and Mill
waukee Railroad as amended and herewith
reported to the Common Council, aud TO carry
out the objec; aforesaid further report by an
ordinance, and ask its passage.
