PLYMOUTH STICKS FAST.
Effort to Float Her with Pontoons
to he Made Tonight.

NEWPORT. r. l., June 2O.-All efforts
to haul the Fall River steamer Plymouth
off the rocks have proved unavailing.
1t has now been decided that the only
way to float the steamer safely is by
means OF p%ontoons, and these have been
ordered from Fall River and Providence.
The combined force Of three powerful
tugs did not move the steamer percep-
tibly. last night. and the wreckers have
concluded that The Needless" a lot of
sharp-polnted rocks, have penetrated her
hull. IL this Is the fact serious
injury would be lone the vessel by drag
ging her off with tugs.
All of the freight Is now out of the
vessel, and with pontoons she should
float easily. Three compartments on the
steamers port side are filled with water,
but she is still dry inside OF the second
hull. II Is found that her machinery
has been somewhat injured by the shock.
1t Is probable tlat the effort to nOat
the boat with pontoons will not be made
until high tide. about 3 O'Clock tonight.

CITY GOVERNMENT

The National Municipal league, which
is In session in Minneapolis, is an or
ganIzatlon. now in its second year
which aims to discuss questions OF mu.
nicipal government thoroughly and i'm
partially with view TO the better ad.
mlnistratlon OF affairs in the cities OF
me United States. Among the dele.
gates in attendance are some of the
foremost business men Of the country
and the deliberations of the league
doubtless will be productive OF much
good, Elsewhere in to-day's Indepen.
dent We give a synopsis of the interest
ing paper read before the league yes
terday by Prof. Edmund J. James. one
Of the managers of the Philadelphia
league, who is at the head Of one OF the
departments OF the University Of Penn
sylvania. Mr.. James discusses the
model city charter in a plain and SEN
slble way He holds that neither our
past experience nor the experience OF
European cities afford us model for
our own city governments. but that
we must study and work out the prob
lem anew for ourselves. He takes no
stock in the ultra theories Of those re-
formers who dlsbelleve In the American
form of representative government. Our
cities must be governed upon the basis
OF universal suffrage and popular con-
troll. Nor does Prof James believe in
a property or educational qualification
for suffrage.
He would have each municipality in
dependent OF state control. either legis-
lative or administrative. and give TO
each the absolute right of self-govern-
nent. He considers the weakest part
OF our city governments as at present
constituted, to be the legislative branch
the boards OF aldermen and councils.
He would have minority representation
In such bodies. and he would have two
branches Of the council similar to the
senate and house of representatives Of
our state and federal governments
The other reforms that he suggests
are in the main to be commended and
they would be easily accomplished by
any CITY that set out in earnest 10 at
tain them.
