THE RAILROAD FRANCHISES.
Another Futile Effort TO Straig hten
Them Ont.

One more conference was held YESTERDAY
afternoon between the city council and the
counsel of the several railroads as to the
Strengthening out of the franchises on Rail-
road avenue. Alderman Ingraham occu-
pied the chair and there were also present
Aldermen Miller, Korn, Snyder, Bogardus,
Sweeney, Pontius, Delegates Kittinger,
Hanford. Morford, Muldoon, Willis and
Barton; John Mitchell, jr., for the North
ern Pacific; T. Z. Shepard for the Seattle
Improvement Company.
Mr. Mitchell once more went over the
now familiar ground. He seeks to have
franchise granted which involves changes
in the franchises of the Seattle e. Montana
and Portland & Puget Sound. so as to
avoid the crossing and recrossing of the
rails.
Mr.. Shepard admitted the advantage,
but it was beyond the power of the city to
do what was asked, as il interfered with
rights already vested in the Seattle &
Montana. His road was willing to con-
cede what was asked, but he pointed out
that 1t would be placed at disadvantage
unless certain further changes were made.
One IS the strengthening out of Jog
complication through the Seattle Ter
minal railroad occupying thirty feet.
where it could only have been granted
twenty-five feet; also the Strengthening
out of the rams horn. As to the last
condition, he thought the city ought to
take the opportunity to require an aban-
donment of the entire rams horn.
Mr.. Lilly said Manager Smith had gone
to New York to consult the heads of the
road. and he hoped no hasty action would
be taken.
Mr.. Mitchell made an appeal to the
council to have no more delay. He said
the volume of business which would be
transacted here before the next three
years would be enormous, and the
Northern Pacific railroad even now suf-
fered from their cramped condition.
For two hours the attorneys and the
councilmen discussed the matter, Alder
men Miller. Korn, Snyder and Ingraham,
Delegates Muldoon and Willis partici-
pating.
1t was finally resolved to postpone &C
ton until two weeks from Monday, mean
time the Seattle & Montana to submit any
amendments 1t considers desirable.

A Warming to Bismarck.

BERLIN, Feb. 6.-The trial of Count Linn
burg Stirum, pensioned member of the
diplomatic corps, for publishing series OF
violent articles against commercial treat
les, resulted in the court sentencing him
to dismissal from the public service, and
decreeing that he should lose his pension
and be deprived of the diplomatic title OF
minister. The sentence of the court is
publicly regarded as being due to the infiu-
ence OF the emperor's desire to give les
son to Prince Bismarck.

OBJECT OF ADMIRATION

1t costs comparatively little to adorn a
table with what looks just as much like
solid silver as you resemble yourself.
Those who have not recently made pur-
chases in this direction probably suppose
that plated ware is costly enough to be
the kind. On the, contrary, the reverse
this is, if you will let us quote prices for
you when you come to see our display of
platedwares. These articles will be as
brilliant in their silvery lustre after the
service of lifetime as on the day of
purchase. How would your table look
with some of them.

statement:
II traded for that horse

1 got the horse from George Morris,
who, at that time had some seventeen
or eighteen head of horses in pasture
at San Marcos. He resides at Devine,
Texas, and Is still in San Marcos and
I can bring him here If necessary"
Mr.. May also states that he has
several witnesses who will testify as
