ALDERMEN IN SPECIAL SESSION.
Receding from Their Public-Light Resolution,
They Concur in Councils Action.

A short special session Of the Board az Alder
that demanded immediate attention. Tie action
OF Council in adhering to its resolution by which
bids can DO received from manufacturers Of all
kinds Of light was first brought to the stteutio
of the board. Alderman Rail moved that the
action of the aldermen permitting bids TO be re-
eeived for the electric light only be
sustained. This proposition. which meant
deadlock between the board and
Council provoked considerable discussion. Al
dermsn Smith said he favored the electric light,
and felt that the city wanted it. However. he
.ould see no reason why manufacturers of other
, ishts should not be permitted to bid He un-
.erstood that the Welsbach burner promised to
be . success. and It's owners had promised to
save the city $40 900 or s25, 600 per year in case
they were permitted to bid. he believed they
should not be shut out.
Alderman Tousey thought refusal to concur
In the action OF the Council Was cens1rable. IL
would mean delay in the settlement OF the ques-
ton OF public light There could be no reason
able objection to allowing other bidders TO come
in. The Council reserved the right to reject the
bids il they we're not satisfactory.
President Wright said that while he felt that
the Board Of Aldermen had been wise IN limit
ing the bids to electric lights. be would vote 70
concur in the action Of the Council as matter
OF expedency. The board had made clear
record on the public-light question. II had stool
soidly for electric light, and if ia voted TO con-
cur it would not be because il had changed its
views In any way. The motion of Alderman
Rail was lost by the following vote: Yeas
Rail, Clark. Reincks, Laut. 4. Nays-Tousey,
Smith, Reynolds Taylor, Wright, 5.
The ordinance passed at Thursdays special
meeting of the Council doubling the license fees
charged to all classes OF peddlers. was referred
20 the judiciary committee. and after transact
ing other routine business the board adjourned.

Sherman's Own Figures.
,pecjal in philade1phia preaa

An estimsts Of Sherman's strength, made by
Senator Sherman himself, has been used here
on inside circles. 1t gives the Ohio man 367
votes on the frat ballot and sol on the second.
The latter figure, If he can get it, will make the
nomination. a. only al are required. Some Of
these figures are regarded a. q decided attempt
to bluff, but it Is quite generally conceded that
Sherman will lead every other candidate on the
frst ballot. In estimating his Strength Senator
Sherman puts down 2l8 from Southern States
In which no Republican candidate can get .
single electoral vote. He includes the Malone
delegation from Virginia. which is far from GER
tain to be gwen seats in the convention, apd il
may as we'll be said here that there 10 already
considerable feeling about that contest It is
perfectly we'll known that Malone is committed
to Sherman, and that his delegates, il admitted,
would vote for the Ohio man. AS the merits of
the contest are so generally regarded as against
Malone, there 10 now every reason to suppose
that the supporters Of the other candidates will
unite against seating delegation with such
fragile claims. If the other delegation, how
ever. should commit itself to some candidate it
would render the opposition to Malone less har-
mouious than it now appears likely 70 be.
