Some Earnest Remarks Made by the Re =
tlring Mayor.
Mayor Kleinschmidt, who sat silent dur
ing tho reading and adoption of the rssolu-
tions Of praise, then arose. and with some
emotion, made the following farewell re-
marks
Gentlemen of the Councils: | thank you
sincerely for the resolutions that you have
offered. This is the closing hour of our
administration. and we must prepare to
make room for those who are to succeed us
in the government of tho CITY for the ensu
ing year. We have, during the past year,
labored zealously, as our records will tes-
tify. Ii l ana not mistaken, 250 pages and
forty-Seven meetings stand to ;h9 credit of
this council; and it is but becoming that l
should thank You for your prompt and
faithful attendance during all these meet
inRs. They will be indeed pleasant rscol-
come. Our meetings have been
pleasant. Although of business
character. they wore socinl and pleasant,
there was no i'll feeling, We were not OF
one and the same political faith, and one
would naturally think politics would cut
some figure, but that was not tho case: We
were harmonious and striving for the good
of the city and its welfare. II il true that
we have not added many laws to the stat
utes, but We did not deem they were neces-
sary. There have been many and very in.r
portant improvements made in tho oity-~a
beginning to y good and glorious ending
aud no doubt that the incoming admins
tration will see to it that il will be cont,n-
nod. Among these WAS the beginning of
the paving of Main street. You have con-
summated, this evening. the crowning step
in the opening OF Lawrence street. You
have started to mAoadamixe and have mao
adamized many of our highways, and those
that have received your attention are suit
able for the Queen City of the Rockies. As
have aaid, ~ il n beginning to II glorious
ending. thank tho chairmen OF the
various committees for their
promptness in attending 10 their

Bills Will he Introduced to Put Them
on the Free List.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The democratic
majority of the ways and means committee
moved a little further in its programme of
attacking the present tariff system by
means of separate tariff bills. Two moro
free list" bills we're practically agreed
upon by them and brought before the COM
mittee but owing to desire on the part Of
the republican minority to look further
into the measures before its report to the
house, final action was not taken in the
committee. The bills to be reported relate
to lumber and silver lead ores. 1t is pro-
posed to mako each free of duty. The ma
jority has not absolutely determined to TO-
port a free lumber bill. but there is reason
to believe such conclusion will be reached
at the next meeting. The lumber bill fol-
lows the free lumber section OF the Mills
bill, making the same classes free Of duty.
The majority decided to report bill to
admit Mexican silver lead otes free Of
duty, the bill being that introduced by
Dpckery.

Said EnIoe to Commissioner Raum, ana
Started for Him.
WASHINGTON, April 2G.-There was an ex-
citing scene to-day in tho room whore the
Raum investigation was proceeding.
Representative Enioe, ona Of the members
of the committee. called Commissioner
Raum liar, and attempted to make per-
sonal assault rpon him. The trouble be-
gan with an inquiry by Enloe az to whether
or not Commissioner Raum had not fur
nished Special Examiner Greenwalt with
$l5 to be used for the purpose OF entrap-
ping an attorney OF kalamazoo, Mlon..
suspected of buying information regarding
pension cases. The commissioner said he
had not given Greenwalt the money. En-
loe insisted that on a previous hearing
Kauna admitted that he did. The commits
sioner replied that he had not. Enloe re-
peated the query several times, until finally
Kaum turned around and sharply asked il
he wanted another denial. Enloe holly
exclaimed: YOU'RE liar. you did say So"
He rose to his feet, grasped glass sponge
cup on the table and started for the
commissioner. Other members Of the
committee rose hastily and torcibly pre-
vented Enloe from proceeding further. AS
he struggled to free himself Commissioner
Raum said: II want no difficulty with you
or any one else; but the man don't live that
fear.'' Then to avoid trouble he took up
his hat and marched out of the room.
Chairman Wheeler called to him that
there was no need to leave, aG he would be
amply protected, whereupon Congressman
Payson remarked that witness had right
to leave when he had been SO treated. To
Enloe Chairman Wheeler expressed regret
at the scene, bat Enloe insisted that he had
treated witness fairly, but he thought
Raum's manner very offensive. Payson
asked in what respect, adding that the
commissioner had simply said he didn't
make statement and Enloe kept on in
sisting on it. Enloe rstorted that the COM
missioner's manner was very offensive,

There are many other items of expense
for tools, nails and blacksmithing on tho
street fund, and for blacksmithing repairs,

ticulurs of which have not obtained.
In addition to these items there should
lie set aside each year $40, for a sinking
fund for the bonds issued in 1891.
In 1891 the tax levy for the payment of
aemi-annual interest on the bonded debt of
the city was one and one half mills on the
assessed valuation of S21. %, the taxes
for the same asgregating s32, 2S1.O9.
In addition to these there was turned
over to the city treasurer by the ex-treas-
urer S9,997.2l, making total in this fund
of 42,27s.W.
The interest on the bonded debt amounts
to $27,7SQ, annually, payable twice u year
on the iifst day of January and the first day
of July.
Under the provisions Of our charter we
are not authorized to incur an indebted
ness in behalf of the city in excess of $20.-
900, without first submitting the PROPOSE
tion relating thereto to a vote of the people.
1t seems that this limitation has often in
the history of the administration of city
atfairs besn overlooked or ignored. | arm
of the opinion that however desirable it
may be from time to time to incur liabil-
ity for needed improvements, We should
nevertheless, acting as We are under the
sanctity of an official oath, be careful not
to go beyond the limits placed upon the
exercise OF our powers by the legislative
assembly. To avoid hasty and incousid-
erats action in making purchases aud CON
tracts and in authorizing tho expenditure
of city funds. l recommend that all such
matters, when referred to committos.
shall be considered and determined not by
one member or Il minority of the commit
tee, hut by the committee acting as u body,
and after full investigation.
For the ensuing year the assessed valua-
tiou of real estate within the city limits
will be less in the aggregate than last year.
According to information furnished me
by the board Of county appraisers, the ap-
prnisemcnt for 1892 is aa follows:

Thus you will nee that tho basis of reve-

and tho receipts from licenses and other
SOURCES, l take it, will not be greater than

Spectator, August 20th.

The unrest in the Balkans has spread 20
Servia, and q Ministerial crisis of q serious
character is taking place at Belgrade. The
immediate cause of the trouble is the APP
pointmsnt of a third Regent to fill the vacan-
Cy caused by the death Of General Protitch.
The Radicals, who have hitherto been in
power, desire to obtain the appointment for
NJ. Pashitch, but they are opposed by the
Liberals and Progressists under NJ. Garas-
chanin, aformer Prime Minister. NJ. Pash-
itch, the late Prime Minister recently at
tempted to gain popularity by a sort of Mid
lothian campaign. Having been unsuccessful
however, he sought to obtain favour with the
electors by arranging g meeting between the
Queen and the young King. This, how
ever, he was prevented from doing,
aud the Progressists have now brought
forward as their candidate for the
Regency. General Bo9hitchevitoh. cousin of
King Milan, and brother in law Of Nj. Ris-
itch, the chief Regent. NJ. Pashitch has re-.
piled by inviting Queen Natalie to come to
Belgrade, and by assuring her that she will
receive a hearty Welcome from the Servian
people. AS q counter-move, M. Ristitch has
arranged with the ex-King MILAN that,
should the Queen come to Belgrade, he will
also return and put himself at the head of the
Army, which is still loyal to him. The imms-
date rssalt OF these intrigues has been the
