BILE, arrive at some equitable agreement
to at least give the city and public imme-
date relief instead of continuing the
present high rates Of waller.
Alderman Daugherty then made
lengthy speech, saying: IF we can go in
to a contract with the Waterworks COM
pany, subject to annulment at any time,
whv shouldn't we do it? We would
save the city several thousand dol
lars per annum. You can not
get waterpipe even Of a sixteenth OF an
inch laid even to heaven or hell under the
present condition. | believe that II That
contract was gone into. POO men could be
set at work tomorrow morning with pick
and shovel. | do not believe that you can
erect waterwOrkS plant here in less than
eighteen months or two years time. Let
us take advantage of this offer. | believe
the first proposition Mr.. Breckenridge
offered us was the best one, and we made
a big mistake in not accepting it. We
must do something to have the water
mains extended"
Mayor Paschal interrupted Mr.. Daugh-
erty in his speaCh at this point by asking
him why the WaterwOrks company had
not complied with many resolutions to
extend water pipes. Daugherty replied:
IF the abrOga1iOn of this cOnpany'S con-
tract by this council was valid, then they
would be fools to do anything more until
a new contract was entered into. For
illustrations: Suppose you were farmer
and entered into an agreement to furnish
me one dozen eggs at 30 cents per dozen
per week for one year, and at the eXpira-
lion of one week declared the contract
null and void, would | have the right to
go out to your wagon afterwards and
take YOUR eggs without making a new
bargain? About the first thing you would
do would be to bring your whipstock
down on my head for undertaking to- COM
pei you to still live up to a contract be-
tween us that | had declared null and
void. These facts naturally prohibit the
Waterworks company from intelIigently
going ahead, and | don't blame them.
The illustration is a simple one, but
strictly applies in this case, the only diff
ference being the difference between the
laws governing individuals and corpora
tons"
Atthis juncture Mr.. Hice moved an ad-
jourDment, which was carried.

BURDEAU's RISE FROM oBsCU-

Once Blacksmith Apprentice, Now
President of the Cham ar in France.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times
"There is very well known anecdote,"
remarks the Paris correspondent of the
London Times in n letter of July 6, "about
the Venetian ambassador at the court of
Louis XIV, who, while walking in the
galleries at Versailles. was asked what
had most struck him during his trip.

dent. must add that the chief impress
sion made upon the entire chamber by NJ
Burdeau's appearance in the presidential
chair was one of admiring surprise.
1T is indeed, always with consider
able feeling of surprise, whatever the in
trinsic merit of him who calls it forth,
that one sees those born in the most
humble circumstances rsach the highest
hOnors and attain position which il was
quite impossible to foresee. / do not be
lieve that the history OF the Third Repub-

throughout its history who have obtained

names having been on the lips of the
crowd, and have held their own for a
time but they have disappeared, to be
swallowed up again in the shadows from
which they emerged. But none Of the
predecessors Of NJ. Burdeau have had To
fight the same battles or overcome the
same difficulties as he. Gambetta, the
only one to be compared with NJ. Burdeau
in brilliant and rapid elevation, had gov
erned France during the second portion
Of the war, and his accession TO the pres
idency OF the chamber was to a rank infe-

AFFECTS METHODS OF VOTING.

A Far Reaching Decision of the Michigan
Supreme Court.
Lansing, Mich, Nov. s.-The supreme
court today handed down the most i'm
portant decision affecting the present
method Of voting that has ever been
made. OF the question Of what consti-
tutes distinguishing mark on ballot,
and which mark is prohibited by law,
the court unanimously held that what
ever the mark, the single one appropri-
ate to designate the intention of the
voter Is the distinguishing mark. The
case was brought In the contesting Of
rights to office Of two local Candidates
at Bay City, who were ostensibly elect
ed at the spring election year and &
half ago. BY the decision, both are
ousted from office. The result Of this
decision will be far reaching.
The court holds that II two tickets on
an official ballot are Identical that the
marking on the cross over each Is lille
gal, also that to mark a cross over any
ticket and then before each name on
such ticket, or placing cross before the
name of candidate and then erasing
the name of his opponent on another
ticket is illegal. In substance. the opinion
holds that single mark is vote and
is sufficient to indicate the voters inten-
tion,. and second mark might be
agreed upon as means Of identifica-
ton. 1t has been the practice Of cleo
ton inspectors to count all such doubly
marked ballots SO that under this deci-
sion any of the elections held under the
Australian voting system, may, 1t Is be-
lieYed be contested

Need for a Strong Stand In North Caro-

Washington, Nov. S.-Chairman Bah
cock OF the republican congressional
committee received the following letter
today from A. E. Holton, chairman of
the republican state central committee
Of North Carolina: I'VE won a COM
plete victory at the polls here yester-
day. We elected the judicial ticket by
estimated majorities Of over 10000 and
have both branches of the legislature,
with four republicans and three popu-
list congressman. A fight will have to
be made tomorrow before the county
canvassing boards. 1t will be neces-
sary for US to employ counsel to appear
before the canvassing boards in many
counties. The democrats say they have
given up the state but our best in
formation Is that they will appear be-
fore the boards tomorrow prepared to
do all in their power" Chairman Bah
cock has instructed Holton to employ
all the counsel necessary to protect
republican rights. Chairman Babcock
now estimates that there will be 255
republicans in the next house.

request from China that the United
States cooperate with Great Britain
and Russia. Germany, France and Italy
to stop the war. China sets forth at

and says she has always recognized the

country's expenses in the war.

GEN. Mcook SUCCEEDS HOWARD.
Colonel FOrsythe Becomes Full Pledged
General by Promotion.

Colonel FOrsythe Becomes a Full Pledged
General by Promotion.
Washington, Nov. 9.-Brigadier-Gen-
eral Alexander Mcdowell McCook has
been appointed major-general of the
United States army, vice General How
ard, retired. James w. Forsythe of the
Seventh cavalry has been promoted
brigadier-general to succeed McCook.
Brigadier-General McCook, who be-
comes major-general, is at present
commanding the department OF the Col
OradO. He has been AZ years in the mill
tary service, and is one of the famous
family of warriors, 1.-THE Fighting Nc
Cooks" He is graduate of West POnt
Military Academy, which he entered as
a cadet in 1S47. He was captain in the
regular army at the outbreak of the
war. from which he emerged with the
rank of lieutenant colonel But in addi-
ton to this he had at the beginning a
volunteer commission as colonel of the
First Ohio infantry, and one year later
received his volunteer commission as
major-general. For gallant service dur
ing the war he was breveted major
general in the army in 1865, thus antici-
'pating by 20 years the good fortune
which has befallen him by appointment
today.
The race for the place vacated by
MajOr-General Towards retirement
was between General McCook and Cen
eral Ruger, the latter commanding the
department of California. and the form
er was peculiarly fortunate in receiving
the appointment over Gen. Kruger, who
stands at the head of the list of brigadier
generals, becaus he would otherwise re-
tire in a few months with the rank of
brigadier-general. AS it is, General Ru-
gers promotion will probably only be
delayed a short time.
GENERAL FORSYTHE.
Colonel James Forsythe will become
brigadier-general. He is one of the most
distinguished cavalry officers in the
army, and has behind him a notable
record of service in the Indian cam
paigns. At present he is colonel OF the
Seventh cavalry, and in command of
the artillery school at Fort Riley, Kan
sas. He is also a graduate of West Point,
from which he graduated in 1851, and is
a veteran of the late war. He entered
sas a first lieutenant and emerged ma
jor in the regular army, but in the vol
unteer service he received his commits
sion as brigadier-general. He also was
breveted a brigadier-general in 1865.
Major-General Miles will transfer his
command to New York, succeeding Ma
jor-General Howard as commander of
the department of the east. In natural
order General Forsythe would take his
place as commander of the department
of the Missouri, but as junior brigadier-
general he may yield this command to
General Ruger, should the latter, as
is expected, prefer to change from the
department of California.
