THE CITY COUNCIL.
omcers NOminated-Butts Unconfirmed-
Phelps Re-elected-Wtley for
Nightw atchman.

" Mayor Menefee presided last eveningN
at the regular monthly meeting of the
city council, and there were present
Councilmen Nolan, Ross, Saltmarshe,
Wood, Thompson, Johns, Champlin,
Kuck and Clough. The last three
named are the new councilmen. Ex-
Councilman Eshelman was also present,
an Interested and honorary spectator of
the evenings proceedings.
The reading OF bi1Is was postponed
till next meeting. owing to the fact that
the finance committee had not been ap-
pointed.
The mayors annual message to the
council was then read and received the
most respectful attention on the part of
the councilmen. 1t appears in another
column.
The next order of business was nomi-
nation of marshal and the election of
nightwatchman. There were many
visitors at the meeting, candidates for
the two official plums at the disposal of
| the city government, and the friends of
l these candidates. The mayor pref
aced the nomination by saying he
/ would present name which he hoped
would be confirmed, one whom he had
| selected after careful inquiry, and one
with whom he could work as wei! at en-
\ forcing the laws of the city as any other
man, he would nominate Mr.. w. H.
Butte. On motion of Nolan the ballot
1 was at once taken, resulting in failure
I to confirm by 6 to 5. When the result
was announced the mayor said he was
sorry the council had not confirmed the
nomination; that he had no other
names to submit at this time. He did
not wish to be arbitrary, but he had
hoped Mr.. Butts would be confirmed.
Moreover he did not like to name down
a list of names for approval or rejection,
as he did not think it was justice to the
men, the council, or anybody else. He
urged that second ballot be taken, and
on motion of Nolan the request was
to against confirmation. Mr.. Menefee
then reiterated his former statement,
that he had no other names to submit,
and desired meeting to be held in the
near future, at which it might be posi-
bic to harmonic upon somebody
Agreeable to motion, this meeting was
> voted for Saturday night at 8 o'clock.
For recorder, the mayor nominated
the present incum bent, Mr.. Phelps. He
was confirmed by the council.
Petitions for nightwatchman were
then read from John F. Root, Frank
Connolly, R.Y. Gibbons, W. n. Young
A. A. Urquhart, Julius Wiley, W. L
Bassett and Chris Bills. Several ballots
were taken, the contest simmerine
down between GibonF and Wiley, the
latter finally winning.

BRIDGE GAVE WAY.
Sam Grant and SIx-HOrse Team PreciI
itated Into John Day River.

Additional particulars are learneS
concerning the breaking in of the toll
bridge across the John Day river last
week.
Sam Grant, the well-known Fossil
freighter, was on his way home from
The Dalles with $500 pounds of freight,
one wagon being loaded with barbed
wire, and, while crossing Leonardo g
bridge, broke down, precipitating the
entire outfit-Mr. Grant, the six-horse
team, two wagons and all-into the rag
ing torrent thirty feet below.
By mere accident, several men hap
pened to be near by, and by almost su-
perhuman efforts they succeeded in res
euing Mr.. Grant from his perilous
position, more dead than alive. Three
horses were killed outright, and two
were 80 horribly mangled that they had
to be shot. The sixth horse was saved.
ii DIR. Giesendorfer was hastily sum
moned and found Mr.. Grant seriously
bruised and cut up and injured inter
nally, but he thinks not fatally. 1t is
almost a miracle that he was not in.
ISOohOAy hLAOO VI OAOMASO.--------------
Thfs is doubly unfortunate for Mr.
Grant, who is very poor man with g
large family, and he has been making
living almost entirely by freighting
Now that his five horses and two wagon!
| are gone, he is practically left without
any means of support; besides, if he re
cover from his injuries it is not likel,
4 that he will be able to work any thi
summer.
The bridge, it is understood, wa
owned by M. A. Moody. It has beer
condemned for several years by tn,
bridge inspectors, and was consideret
unsafe by all who were obliged to eros
it. Therefore, it is very probable tha
Mr.. Grant will sue for damages. w
Lair Hill, the noted lawyer and autho
i of Hills Code, formerly owned thi
bridge, and he sold it to some partie
who became indebted to Mr.. Moody
who secured mortgage on the bridge
About two years ago the mortgage wa
foreclosed, and thus became the propert
of Mr.. Moody, and has been toll-bridg
ever since it was built.

THE RIOTS AT ST. KITS.

Described by Mr. Leopold Moore, United
States Consular Agent.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The state
department has received from Mr.. Leo
poId Moore, United States consular
agent at st. Kits, one of the British
West India islands, complete ac-
count of the recent disturbances
there.
He says that six weeks ago the la
borers on the sugar estates struck for
higher wages, their pay having been
reduced, and set fire to the canes on
the estates whose proprietors refused
to accede to their demands. Fortu-
nately her ma ajesty's steamship Cordelia
had just arrived and a force was
landed.
After skirmish, in which three OF
the black rioters were killed and
several wounded, partial order was re-
stored. The value of goods taken Or
destroyed by the mob is estimated at
5000.
Several attempts were made to fire
the town but the marines extin-
guished the flames. The war ship will
remain for the present, as the blacks
are making threats to burn the town
and murder the white people at the
first opportunity. The island is now
under martial law.

Maceo and Gomez Again In tho Southeast

NEW YORK, March 1s.-A special dis
patch to the Herald from Havana says:
1t is reported that Capt. Gen. Weyler
intends soon to transfer the general
headquarters of the army to the city of
Matanzas. Official reports state, how
ever, that Maceo and Gomez, accom-
panied by the commands of Lacret and
Banderas, are again in the southeast
ern section of Havana province, pur-
sued by no less than seven Spanish col
umns.
The official explanation of Gomez
return to Havana province is that he
desired to help Maceo, who is officially
declared to be in bad position and
hampered by many wounded.
Colon reports say that three peace.
full citizens, who recently went out to
forage for the troops of a Spanish col.
umn, were killed by a party of insur-
gents who met them On Saturday a
negro was hanged by insurgents near
Mata, also in Matanzas province.

OF Nansen's Discovery of the North Pole
Will Go In Search of the South Pole.
WASHINGTON, March 14-Mr. Car
stem Egberg BorchgrevinlS, the Nor
wegian antarctic explorer, who ar
rived here yesterday, doubts the sue
cess of Nansen as reported recently.
He knew Nansen as boy; they grew
up together in Christiana and attended
the same schools. He says of the re-
port from Siberia:
Il do not regard it as probable, COM
ing, as the news does, in the dead Of
winter.
Il am not at all certain that he fol-
lowed the currents as indicated, be-
cause of my knowledge that Nansen
did not place much credence in the
drift theory himself. In private let
ter just before his expedition sailed he
expressed doubts as to that course,
and said it was but faint theory
Mr. Borchgrevink announces that he,
himself, proposes to start from En-
gland in September next ON an expedi-
ton to discover the south magnetic
pole, from which he anticipates meal

In the Spanish Cabinet-Wll Continue
Warlike Preparations.
MADRID, March ia cabinet coun-
Gil was held yesterday at which the
queen regent presided. Senior Cano-
vas del Castillo. prime minister, made
optimistic comments op the action
of the American senate on the
Cuban belligerency resolutions. He
evidently believed that the fact that
the senate had not already agreed to the
report of its committee of conference
and the committee of the house of
representatives. means there is good
prospect of the senate not accepting
the house resolutions. He added, how
ever. that the warlike preparations
would be continued, the government be-
ing determined to be ready for any
contingency.
The prime minister announced that
it was intended to Immediately reopen
the universities that had been closed
on account of the anti-American dem
onstrationS of the students.

dock two days ago with the in
tention of going to sea. At first
she was detained by the lack OF

the weather outside was too rough for
her to attempt to weather it. She is

Host Rer. Peter Richard KenricI.
sacred harmony, the chant of absolv-
ing prayers, eloquent eulogy and all
the magnificent ritualistic pomp of the
Catholic church, the obsequies of the
great archbishop of st. Louis were car
ried out yesterday.
A rarer scene, more mediByal in
some respects. more unworldly in oth-
ers, has not been witnessed since the
cold, clear December morning four
years ago, when, in the same place,
the same man was again the central
figure of magnificent ceremonial.
Then, indeed, it was glorious event,
the celebration of half century s
service as prelate of the Roman
church. Wednesday the central figure
in that great event was cold in death.
The same vast concourse of arch
bishops. bishops and priests that came
then to rejoice and congratulate had
returned to pay their last tribute of
respect at his bier.
The one scene was typical of the
fullness of life. 1t was the culmina-
tion of Peter Richard Kenrick's fame
as a prelate. The other was typical
cf the spiritual, the unworthy view
that realizes the grandeur of death af-
ter a life well spent
This man, who made nothing of
friendship during his life. who over
looked the arts that make men great
and pleasing in the public eyes, was
buried by his church with greater
pomp and sincerer eulogy than a
prince of the royal blood.
Rome has often been called the
mother of all the arts. Truly when
one gets back to the older and more
unaceustomed modes of her elaborate
ritual one finds how deeply in touch
she was with all that could inspire and
uplift the soul.
Music, painting, architecture, the
things that appeal to the eye and the
ear, symbolism, the imagination's mas
ter, are the groundwork of her cere-
mOnial.
It is no wonder, then, that when peo-
pie are brought face to face with an
elaboration of this ancient ritual they
should feel transported from the work

with arms and ammunition, is reported
to have landed safely in small bay at
the eastern end of the island and
within six hours the entire cargo was
placed in the hands of insurgent
agents. One of the Cuban leaders who
was instrumental in getting this yes
sci away. in speaking of it, said:
so far as we have been able to
learn, the ship, with the munitions of
war, arrived in Cuba on Sunday and
got away all right. If she had not
done SO, we certainly would have had
an elaborate report of seizure or any
other circumstances that would affect
the enterprise
There were not many men aboard
only enough to handle her cargo and
look after it properly. The ship
cleared from here for Jamaica, and af-
CCA otoRRAbS uOd SdAlOA y
for Jamaica, from which place she will
again come to Philadelphia with a
cargo and be ready again for another
trip south with arms.
What about last nights expedition?
The only thing that I can say is that
the ship used is now on its way south.
But as to who,is in command of her or
her name can not say. Besides car
rying 80 men, she carried a number of
machine guns, cannon, about million
rounds of ammunition and a large
quantity of improved rifles and ma
chetAs. We have plenty of men
down there at present. What we
really do need is arms and money and
these are coming along at fairly
good rate.
''Should this ship escape the United
States revenue cutters acting in con-
cert with the Spanish cruisers and get
her load of war material safely landed,
it will put the armies of Gomez and
Maceo on a remarkably good fighting
basis, SO far as equipment goes. As to
discipline and field and skirmish drill,
the Cuban soldiers have no equal.
