CHICAGO'S MAYOR.
He Mikes UP EgOtism and Common
Sense i'm am Amusing Manner.

NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-The subject of
discussion at the Nineteenth Century club
meeting tonight was Municipal Govern
ment." Daniel G. Thompson presided.
Mayor Carter FL. Harrison, of Chicago.
was among those who discussed the ques-
ton. He objected to the assertion of a
speaker who said that Jefferson spoke for
his times. and did not dream OF
the problem that now confronted
society. Human nature was eternally
the same. He had no patience
with civil service reform theories. Mr..
Harrison said that Chicago was well gov
erned. especially under its present mayor.
Laughter. He said it was useless to
waste time in trying to ch 'age the consti-
tuition. Get good city charter and govern
local affairs.
You folks down here dent like anything
English. and so you have taken up civil SER
pretty fair man and have seen
no use for it in Chicago and I have
governed the city well. All they
can find to say against me is that l let the
gamblers live. The newspapers tell you,
though, that 1 am a demagogue and an
people right, and I am an egotist.
I know newspaper men are brilliant writers
many of them fully as able as Addison, but 1
know nearly all of them in the country, and
there are not more than two of the whole
lot, would not ruin any great
city in a year if they were
the mayor. All of them together could not
govern Chicago as well as the present mayor.
A city is an aggregation for business pur-
poses, and the business Of city government is
to protect the people so that they can
live in peace and make money. Our city gov
ernment is better than yours because we
govern ourselves. while half OF your govern
ment is in Albany"
Mr.. Harrison thought the mayor should
have the appointing power; that the wards
should contain not more than 20, 600 to
25. 600 people; that there should be
two aldermen in each ward, one
chosen by the people and the other on a
general ticket Aldermen should have
living wages. Every public contract and
every executive act should be left
to the mayor. Elect him for two
years with absolute power over
all officials. Patronage is a source of
weakness to a man, because of every man
appointed dozen are disappointed. The
speaker thought that mayors should have
the power to veto items separately i'll an ap-
preparation bill.

mediate examination. Thereupon Capt.
Black and Mr.. SWEET returned to the hotel
and few minutes later went again to
Justice ScOtt's room, followed by two
porters carrying between them the trunk
containing the eight-thOusand page record.
After unpacking it in Justice Scott's pres
ence Capt. Black and Mr.. SWEET handed
him the brief and made a few explanations
as to the points of error claimed and how
they could be most eXpeditiOusly examined.
No oral argument was made.
1t is understood another interview
will be held with him tonight.
Nothing will be done tonight in the mat
ter of considering the application to Judge
Scott. He will begin work tomorrow upon
the consideration of the testimony, and will
work upon it steadily and as rapidly as
possible until the end. 1t is understood
that there will be no oral arguments. 1t
seems apparent that no conclusion will be
reached for number of days.

RULG RIA.
An Opinion From Htaly.-Senfiment
of the German Newspapers.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-In green book just
issued by the Italian government, it is
shown that Count Di Robilant, minister of
foreign affairs, has sent circular letter to
the powers assuring them all that Italy is
desrous of European concert to maintain
peace on the basis of the Berlin treaty and
the independence of the Balkan states.
The green book states that in a recent con-
versation with Sir j. Saville Lumley.
British ambassador to Rome, Count Di RObi-
liant argued that it was immoral for
a great power to support small power
unless prepared to furnish it material sup
port when the small power needed it. A
Pesth telegram says: 1t is stated that
under pressure from the German and Polish
members of the Austrian delegation, the
budget committees reply has been
amended so as to contain a censure
of Gen. Kaulbars, and to make
less emphatic the passage referring to
the peaceful character of the re-
lations between Austria and Russia.
A Berlin dispatch says: The entire press
of Germany express delight over the re-
port of the governments refusal to assume
protection of the Russians in Bulgaria on
the occasion of Gen. Kaulbar'S departure.
1t is
OFFICIALLY DENIED
here that the German consul at Sofia re-
fused to take the Russians remaining in
Bulgaria after Gen Kaulmar's departure
under German protection when requested
to do so by the retiring agent. The official
denial states that what happened was
this: The Russian government asked
Germany if the officials who remained at
Sofia in charge of the Russian archives,
might. in case of necessity, ask the German
consul to protect Russian subjects; and
Germany replied yes" The Petit Jour-
nal, of Paris, dwells strongly ON the value
of an alliance between Russia and France.
Against such an alliance, says the Petit
Journal, England would be impotent and
Germany afraid.
Russia, fearing Chinese attack on the
event of European outbreak, has ordered
the Russian officials on the Chi
nese frontier to use the greatest care
to abstain from any action likely to irrtate
Cbina;a dispatch from Berlin to thePost says
Count Herbert Bismarck had long inter-
view to-day with Count Schouvaloff. Rus
sian ambassador at Berlin, in the course of
which the latter complained bitterly of the
tone adopted by the official German press
toward Gen. Kaulbars. 1t is reported that
Count Herbert replied warmly to this
charge, saying that Gen. Kaulbars' pro-
ceedings in Bulgaria were unworthy the
agent of great power.

The DetrOits TO Stay i'm the League
--CIeveland Gets the Anic rican AS
sociatiOn Vacancy.
CINCINNATI, o., Nov. 23.-Mr. Wat
kins. representing the Detroit league club,
came before the American Base Bal asso-
citation at its session to-day and made a
statement which simplifes the work Of the
association. He said that while the associ-
alton had in no manner solicited bid for
membership from the Detroit club. and
while no request for admission had been
made by that club yet 1t was understood
that circumstances had made such an event
possible. Now he desires to say that the
| Detroit club had received assurances from
| the other league clubs that all the c0nces-
sions Detroit demanded would be made,
and, therefore, the candidacy of his club
| for the PittSburg vacancy need have no
| further consideration from the association.
Mr.. Watkins then retired. after mutual as
surance of respect and good will. At the
afternoon session the Kansas City'S offer of
81. 900 for the franchise and free transpor-
tation from st. Louis to Kansas City was
considered. The Cleveland club was then
formally admitted to the association. The
finance committee will visit Cleveland to
examine into the financial backing of the
club. The negotiations between the De-
| troit club and the American association
were frank and were pleasantly conducted.
Detroit was not asked to become a member
of the association, which declined to have
ANYTHING to do with the matter until for
NAL application had been made.
DETROIT. Nov. 23.-According to Presi-
dent Stearns, of the De oft Base Ball club.
not only the Chicagos I all the members
of the league. except the st. Louis and
Washington clubs. and the Kansas City ap
plicantS have consented 10 give the Detrots
| a percentage of gate receipts. as they did
last year. 1t was in consideration of this
wholesale concession that the Detret club
to-day decided to remain i'll the league.
CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-Referring to the
statement that the Detroit club had decided
to remain in the leauge. Mr.. A. G. Spald-
ing said this afternoon that he had received
a telegram from the Detroit club yesterday
asking whether the Chicago club would con-
sent to a special arrangement so that q
division of the receipts OF the Chicago and
Detroit games for 1887 should be made the
same as in 1886. He had replied that the
Chicago club was willing to make that con-
cession. The agreement only applied tC
the Detroit club. and no similar guaranty
had been made by Chicago with any Other
club in the league.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-Advices from Dur
ban, Nov. 8, state that general and ap-
parently successful revolt is in progress
among the natives against Portuguese
authority in Southeastern Africa. An
American missionary, Rev. Mr.. Will
cox, arrived in Durham from the
Portuguese settlement on the East coast
above the Transvaal. He reports as fol-
lows: The natives of Inhambane, a POrtu-
guese port town 200 miles above Delagoa
bay, rose up against the Portuguese taxa
ton and murdered the collector. On Oct.
% battle was fought between 5000 Port
uguese and friendly natives on the one side
and 3O 900 hostile natives on the other.
The Portuguese were defeated and routed.
and the loss on both sides is estimated at
9, coo men. Mr.. Wilcox says the
governor of Mozambique has gone
into the country to endeaver to
suppress the revolt and save the port of
Inhambane from falling into the hands of
the insurgents. The town was barricaded
when the missionary last heard from it, and
the women and children had been removed
to ships lying in the roadstead. The entire
country round about the town had already
been abandoned by the Portuguese and
arrangements had been made to remove the
population of lnhambane out to sea if
the hostile natives attacked the town in
force,

port that the GhilZais have beaten the
ameer of Afghanistan's troops. They also
say that the rebellion is still rapidly spread
ing, under the influence of religious fanat-
les, who lead the insurgents. Many of the
ameer's troops are also joining the rebels
owing to the honorable reception given to
the members of the British Afghan bound
ary commission by the ameer. which gave
rise to the suspicion that he intended to
yield to British occupation.

The only Healthy Light.
Sanitary Record.

SANITARY RecOrO
NJ. Gariel, the French hygienist. in
speaking of lighting from hygienic point
of view. says that with the exception of
the electric light. all other methods of
lighting are unhealthy, as they absorb the
oxygen and give out carbonic acid and
steam at the same time. producing much
heat. with occasionally oxide of carbon and
sulphydric acid With the exception of
foreign substances, gas gives better light
than other methods based upon combustible
matter. From this point of view electric
lighting is preferable when properly aD-
piled, as it is in no way injurious to the
eyes. Apart from the question of expense,
electric lighting should be adopted in
preference to gas. unless by any new sys-
tenn the con,bustible matters emitted from
gas can be got rid of. and so prevent any
increase of the temperature. which always
results from the burning of gas.

ties to-day voted in favor of reduction of
625, 600 francs in the expenditures of the

The matter has created great excitement,
