NEW CITY HALL SCHEME
1t is Proposed to Begin
Work at Once and Pay Con-
tractors iii Bonds.
WHY TIE FlNANClERS DELAY
Action Now, 1t Is Said, Will Hurt
tho City's Credit-DOings Of
The Commissioners.

The stringency of the money market is,
attributed the delay on the part of the
Finance Commissioners to float the
$550.000 worth of city bonds required for
the construction of the new City Hall,
and the purchase of the remainder of the
City Hall site
The Finance Commissioners argue that
1t would have bad effect upon the city's
credis to advertise $3.50. 600 worth of bonds
for sale, and either have no offer or offers
below par. Believing this they
have refused to take any action in the
matter whatever. The result has besn
that the City Hall Commissioners have
been compelled to return to the various
bidders their checks, aud now the whole
matter rests.
WHY ACTION Is POSTPONED.
The postponemen5 of acti9a gu tue part
OF tue Finance Commissioners may be
advisable land probable is, but at
the same time many uukind tnings
are beng said of the City Hail
Commissioners aud their methods of DO
ing business. The Commissioners met
THIS morning but transacted business of
only routine character.
During the meeting, however. q schsme
acted upon, if the law permits. the F.
nance Commissioners TO concur, the con-
tractors agree and persons frem whom
proper ~ is 20 be purchased will cCusent.
Tne plan is this:-To begin work at
once upon the City Hall and tender to
the contractors in payment for theic
work city bonds at par The same pla II is
TO he applied where purchases of prop
erty are required.
THE SCHEME IS FEASIBLE.
The scheme is feasible enough but tila
city will be getting the worst end of it ty
far. The last sale of city bonds brought
premium of 37-S Bv paying the con-
tractors and property owners with the
bonds at par the city would be
losing a snug sum or 3 rs ON every thous-
aud dollars worth ISSUED. Property
owners are anxious TO see what the
new City Hall will look like, but
the officials will hardly sacrifice
the premium on $550,O00 worth of bonds
for the purpose of gratifying that
curiosity. However, the City ;Hall Gem
missioners will suggest tile plan to the
Finance Commissioners and let them

FRANCE AND SIAM.
What the Surrender of the
Mekong Watershed
Means.
Bn Cable to the United Press.


PARIS, July 10. 1S93.--The Figaro says
that the French ullImatum sent TO Siam
demands that the Siamese evacu ate the
left bank of the Mekong River. 1t also
demands that guarantees be given by the
Siamese Government for the faithful
performance of It's treaty obligations,
and that indem nifty be paid for the out
RACES perpstrated by the Siamese upon
the French.
The French are already In possession
of the lower Mekong River, and II Siam
comedies the demands now made upon
her the river will be made entirely
French. IL was but a short time ago
that the river was acknowledged to be q
considerable distance to the westward
of the French sphere of influence
in AMMAN. A mountain range
lies long distance to the
eastward OF the Mekong River, and
the French claimed no Jurisdiction to
the westward of this range, Recently
France claimed the entire watershed to
the westward of the mountains to che
river. and now she demands that the
Siamese eYacuate the western Oauk.
If they do this. it will place both banks
of the river for the greater part of its
length in possession of the French. TINS
will give France Jurisdiction over certain
parts of the Laos States that are now
tributary to Siam. In its most northerly
course the river separates the Shan
States, under British control, from the
Laos States If France gets possession
of the territory she evidently desires,
her newly acquired POSSESSIONS will border
on what is practically BRITISH tsrritory.
The reply of Foreign Minister Newell
to the Interpolation OF M. Dreyfus in the
hor har 0f ipC n
ing the position of France in the dispute
with Siam, is considered master stroke
of policy. 1t not only secured unani-
nous vote of confidence in the Govern
menU. but has evoked unanimous praise
from the press.

WE CANNOT GROW TEA.

About ten years ago the then Commis-
