Of the proposed amendment defining the

There are various opinions about the
advisabiiity Of having the appointing
power vested in Q mayor or . commits
sion, either appointed By the mayor or to
be elected by the people. and good reasons
can be advanced by the advocates Of
either, but I am aware Of no precedent

II the appointing power or powers do

but after clothing the party or parties with
such power do not embarrass them by re-
strictions that will impair their usefulness.
No, gentlemen, make no distinction xs
to the age Of your fire chief. The old
charter, following in the steps Of every
city having paid fire department. wisely
exempts the fire chief ss TO residence and
age, and no good reasons appear why
Seattle should now make such discrimina-
tons. New York, Buffalo, Baltimore,
Boston, Cleveland. Philadelphia, Chicago,
st. Louis, New Orleans, Louisville. ST.
Paul, Salt Lake. Denver and San Fran
cisco have and have had chiefs the ma
jority of whom ars and were over 60.
Some men at 20 are better preserved and
better fitted for service duty than others
at 40. Let the appointing power, whoever
1t may be, decide whom they think best

England and France have the most

the United States comes next. But We
will not retain our rank, nor do we care to.
The American navy is for defense, foreign
navies for aggression. Germany and
Russia are increasing their forces, and IN
few years the navies will probably rank
in this order: England, France, Russia.

THE drummer of the ?. G.. band

The climate was commencing to
get too warm and he thought he'd

The foregoing appeared in the
Bulletin last evening as an item of
"news." It is on a par with the
information usually dished up for
the readers of the organ Of lost
cause.
AS a matter Of fact the gentle
man referred to did not go away
on the Australia, and further he
has no intention of leaving these
sunny shores.
He said last night that he mad
"come to stay" and nothing less
than gattling gun would cause
him to get out, which statement
proves that the climate is not too
warm for him.
The drummer concluded his re-
marks by saying: IF the Bulletin
or its royalist editor wants to find
me, can be seen at the headquar-
tiers Of the band"

Water Was Poured into the Mine in "A
Large Stream for Many Hours.
Damage Unknown.

LIVINGSTON, Oct 24.-The fire in the
Cokedale mines was under control this
afternoon, and will probably be entirely
subdued before morning. John Peter
son, who failed to make his escape from
the mine when the alarm was given yes
terday. and who was supposed to have
perished from the effects of the fire. was
rescued today. Aside from being badly
frightened he was none the worse for
his twenty four hours Imprisonment.
He states that when the alarm was
given his light went out. causing him to
lose his way. and before reaching the
stope escape had been cut off. He then
went to the room where he had been
working. and remained there until taken
out this aftereoon. The water poured
into the mine caused draft which kept
the smoke and gas above his head. and
enabled him to secure fresh air Large
quantities of water were poured on the
fire for more than twenty four hours.
The damage to the mine cannot be cor
rectly estimated at this time. but will
probably reach several thousand dollars.
