The board of police commissioners
held meeting last evening and passed
a resolution to enforce the gambling
ordinance to the letter. 1t is stated
that this action was due to report
that a movement was on foot among
the gamblers to open up their games
again and make an understanding with
the police officers that they should only
be interfered with periodically. The
gamblers, it is said, were willing to be
fined in a moderate sum once month
or so If they could Secure immunity
from interference on the part of the
authorities during the balance of the
time.

City Surveyor Harry will send a
communication to the city council this
evening calling attention to the fact
that the established grade of Cass
street at the crossing of Chenamus is
eighteen feet above the base of grades,
and that if the street is improved, the
outside Of the grade will be some inches
above the floor of Flavel's brick build
ing. The difference in the height of
the two will be slight, but Mr. Harry
thinks that considering the nature of
the building that would be affected by
the improvement of Cass street, the
council may decide to make a slight
change in the ordinance, and instead
Of improving to the grade as estab-
lished, makes the center of the street
16 4-1O feet, the difference being but
] Clio inches.

corner Of Chenamus and Benton streets
yesterday afte moon by Sheriff Smith
on two charges, drunk and disorderly
and fast driving on the public streets.
Two of the denizens of Swilltown were
in the vehicle driven by Weiman, and
the trio were conspicuous for some
time, until the sheriff put an end to
the disturbance. Before the arrest Mr..
Waman succeeded in knocking down
Mrs. Kyle, at the corner of Third and
Olney streets.

A surveying party had an adventure
with bear yesterday while at work
near Tongue Point. 1t appears from
the statement of Mr. Powell, who was
the transit man, that the parry, four
in number, were walking through the
brush when they were confronted by a
black bear weighing in the neighbor-
hood of 200 pounds. Three of the men
sought safety in fight after indulging
in yell that would frighten any ordi-
dlnary bear. The fourth however, was
Otto Grinde, and he considered that
there was sufficient shelter from harm
behind long handled ak. When
Grinde saw his companions flee, he eX-
claimed: what! Four men run from
one bear; not muchp' And seeing
Bruin advancing in an erect posture,
he swung his AK around his head and
sent it crushing through the Uranium
of the enemy, killing him instantly.
Mr.. Powell when charged with being
frightened, stated that his only object
in running was in order to make a
flank movement and attack Bruin in
the rear, while Grinde occupied his
attention in front. This statement is
accepted with grain Of allowance by
those of Mr.. Powell's companions who
witnessed the direction of the latters
flank movement" and the rate of
speed with which he Travelled. The
story of the killing was discredited by
some last evening, until Mr.. Powell
had displayed the os innomanata which
he took as trophy (of Mr.. Grindes

INCREASING NATIONAL BANK CIRCU'
IATION WILL BRING NO RELIEF.

II is clain,od for the Andrew bill, now
pending before Congress. that It viii add
to the currency in circulation about $780,
900. Co., The increase in the volume Of
currency Is expected to come from per-
hitting National Banks to issue $1,000 OF
notes for every $1,000 Of bonds
that they deposit with the Gov
eminent and from reducing the tax on
their circulation from one per cent. to
ore.third Of one per cent.
We do not perceive that this would
advance one step towards meeting what
is the true demand for more currency
That demand comes, and comes justly
from the farmers of the country The
National Banks will not lend their
money. and they would not do it, though
their issues of notes were twenty times
what they are. Enabling the National
Banks TO Increase their circulation IS
only putting more money In places which,
though they may overflow with money
connot by law lend on land.
1t is in the country amongst the
farmers, who have no credits with Ma
tional Banks, that a more liberal banking
system is needed.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL TO THE
FRONT.

II Is understood that the Canal bill Is
now soon to be called up, and the Senate
is believed to be largely in its favor 1t
is confidently believed also that two
thirds Of the House are in its favor.
Senator Morgan thinks that. with full
knowledge of the promise Of the canal
to the country and the conditions OF the
bill. no wise man and patriot can stand
in its way.
The bill gives to the Government OF the
United States eighty millions OF the hun
dred millions of capital stock.
Ten directors, five to be Republicans,
five Democrats.
The present company Is to get only
what 1t has actually spent. and for Its
franchises twelve millions Of the capital
stock.
For it's eighty millions OF stock. carrying
the actual ownership Of the canal, the
Government is to guarantee one hundred
million long-date bonds, secured by mort
gage on the property.
The bonds are to be issued from the
United States Treasurer only on ceruf-
Gates Of Government officers that work
has been done.
There can be no fraud. The Govern
ment will, in all probability, not be called
on for one dollar. The advantages TO the
whole country and the South especially
cannot be measured, and The Government
will own the canal when 1t has built It
with the proceeds of the bonds.
