THE DEBT SETTLEMENT.
A Graphic History of How it was
Brought About.

The agreement was arrived at after
three days of negotiations, which on
both sides were characterized by an
earnest desire to find common ground
on which they could stand. From
the first to the last moment OF the
conference the utmost good feeling
prevailed, and the disposition was
with both commission and commit
tee to strain a point to come together
as far rs such 4 course was admissible
in Justice to those they represented:
'The negotiations just concluded
practically date back to the spring Of
this YEAR, when correspondence Lead
inc up to conference of the commits
sion and the committee was com
,nenced. The committee paid Their
first visit to the city in the early part
of .Jnne and submitted to the COM
mission n proposition to settle on a
basis of $50. 900 600, having 100 Years
10 run and bearing interest at ) per
cent. This proposition was rejected
for reasons that were made apparent

THE MORNING CONFERENCE.

THE MORNING CONFERENCE.
Yesterday morning the State Com
mission met persuant to adjourn
ment and were in session several
hours before Messrs. Olcott and Gar
den, Clerk Ellis. Mr.. GlenDan. Judge
Keith, Colonel Tom Smith, Colonel
Gordon and General Hunton, APP
pcared at the capitol. These gentle
men had not been in the library lon~,
however. before informal messages
began to pass between them and the
commission, and soon it was known
that a bright day had dawned for
Virginia.
All hands-members of the COM
mittee. members of the commission
aud advisers-tricd not to tell any
thing in advance of formal announce
mcnt and they did not by word of
mouth, but it was in the air that a.
solution of the problem that had
vexed the people of the State for
nearly n quarter of century had
been arrived at.
THE OFFICIAL MESSAGE.
At about $3.50 o'clock in the after
noon Senator Henry II. Wichlam en-
tered the library with an official
envelope in his hand and handed it
to Mr. Olcott. All knew Instructive
w that the commission would agree
to recommend the basis of $40, 000,-
600, running one hundred years and
bearing 2 per cent. interest for ten
and Per cent. for ninety years. The
communication was eagerly scanned
by the Olcott people and their adj
visers, and then Mr.. Olcott and Sec
rotary Ellis retired to an alcove to
formulate the reply.
For the next half hour the scene
in the library was one of supreme
excitement. Captain Garden paced
the floor, nervously twisting a wish
ring on his little finger, the express
ion of his handsome face. alternating
between q radiant smile and deep
thoughtfulness. Colonel Tom Smith
changed his seat twenty times. Judge
Keith sat in an alcove chair with an
air that strongly suggested he was
waiting for the verdict of q jury.
Mr.. Glennan did not hesitate to say
it was one of the happiest days of
his life, yet every now and then a
would come into his eyes.
Colonel Gordon expressed his salts
faction by putting his age back some
fifteen years, but even he would
change from gay to grave at times.
General Hunton had but little to
say. but that little expressed intense
qualification. The fact is, every one

iSs,lan"e of SO, COO, GG0of bonds having
100 wears to run and bearing interest

commission felt constrained to reject
this proposal also, and gave their
reasons therefor. The principal one
was that the State did not have the
means to meet this interest-charge.

consisting of Messrs. Berry and Dab

ON THE WING.

The town was quiet last night. Bry-
ans bulldozers have not slugged anyone
for several days.
Capt. n. Mackey can be elected mavor
If he will run. So can almost yany good,
honest citizen.
The officers did not try to close up that
keno. room; it is too close to the city
election.
Albert Beckman will be the next alder
man for the eighth ward.i
Col. Bill Hoefling would make good
alderman for the Fifth ward.
The people would like to hear from Ex-
Alderman Gallagher. He was a good
alderman.
The people have to thank King Bryan
and his vindicaterS for the small poX
scourge now all over the state.
The Australian ballot and a good re-
gistration law will, greatly help to pre-
vent and stamp out our annual visitation
OF smallpox into the state.
Capt: II. Nicholson would make us a
good alderman.
Some bulldozer might slug an editor.
but the LIGHT will still shine.

Slick Crooks Ransack Kypfer &

fRR Time


After several days Of silence, we have
had another burglary, this time on East
Houston street at o Kypfer & Sengg' s
stationery establishments which under
taking the burglars got away with a
booty of about $3.50. This burglary is a
case of slick and quick work, las accordin g
TO the statement made by the merchant
police, the entrance into the store was
effected between l1:20 and 11:40 o'clock
last night. The burglars entered by the
rear door which was not locked, but
fastened by piece of scantling, which
they removed by boring a hole through
the panel of the door and inserting a rod
with which they showed the scantling
cut of place. Having effected their en-
trance the men rushed their work going
through the Office desks and securing
SPAS in cash of which 1925 belonged to the
Columbia building association and $40 u
the firm. They took two checks amount
ing to about $50, one signed by G. III.
Brewster and another by SnOdgrass and
Caid. Having secured these, the men
packed their tools and departed in a
hurry. But a few seconds had elapsed,
when merchant police lillian again
passed the building which he had inspect
ed but twenty minutes previous, and
found that the rear door was open. He
entered the place, and he held the work
of the burglars. The alarm was given
and the proprietors were sent for, when
the amount OF body which had been Sc
cured by the burglars, was ascertained
There is no clue to the burglars, although
the police believe it the work OF some Of
the numerously represented gang Of

THE PRESENT CAMPAIGN.
BY WALTER SCOTT.

and mute,
As corpse that is dead and buried;
Not single discharge, from their facial
slot,
To evince their secrets have revealed.
Their moves mostly planned, in the dead
of night,
With their fingers so often upturned;
They are whispering low, for fear of the
LIGHT"
It's staff they despise, her reporters are
spurned.
How useless it is to enclose in the breast
A secret that friends so often betray;
When hopes and ambition are i'll at rest
IT'S then that the people have some
thing to say.
Brute force may not help In their gallant
display,
Twill only engulf them in sorrow;
Friendship may cease when settled this
And cause them to repent on the NOR.
row.
How lightly they talk of the spirit that's
gone
From the minds of the modern voter;
The people of old would send up a tone
That would make their ambition tt
falter.
The Stalwarts arose in their strength
last night,
And harnessed the silent campaign;
The tax payers now will arise in thei
might
And show that their labors have no
been in vain.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People arc Saying.

What the People are Saying.
The organ of the city administration,
the Express. tells the people that Gala
CHAN should not be put out because 1t
would stop public improvements.
Il
What pity; no doubt it would stop
such work as blowing up miles of streets
and leaving the people to founder through
the mud for months, without hope of
remedy.
1t would stop such work as that on
East Houston street; torn up for business
block and allowed to remain inaccessible
for business for weeks.
n
1t would stop all such hocus-pocus as
has been going on for months in regard
the city improvements.
1t would open the eyes of the people
TO the entire unfitness of the present city
administration to control the business
or destiny of our city.
1t would break up a ring that has fas-
tened itself upon the public through the
use of public patronage.
1t would uncover the financial con-
dition of our city, and bring our credit
back to healthy basis.
The people have grown tired of gaz
ing at city hall, still unfinished
and its real cost unknown, for which they
paid their money long ago.
The people have become alarmed at the
secret ways and means being used to keep
from the public the truth in regard TO
public affairs.

The people would like to know what
has become of their bonds.
