Council to View Corpse Of
Transfer Issue.
The Annual Appropriation Bill
to BE Presented.
Total Is Only $22,119 Less Than
the City's Entire Revenue.

The Providence Common Council will
meet tonight, and the interesting fact
about it is that at last the members of
that reform body are TO be face to face
with the corpse OF their great issue of a
year ago--the transfer question.
There Is no more excuse for delay.
Even Mr.. Truman cannot claim now
that he needsa more time to think before
voting intelligently. The matter has been
pending since June %. and tonight il is
the special order.
According TO result OF personal
canvass of the entire membership of the
City Council, both branches were over
whelminsly opposed to the adoption of
the transfer system as authorized by the
Legislature and accepted by the Union
Railroad Company.
Since tnen the friends Of the bill have
heen on still hunt for the purpose Of
gaining votes and claim that they have
afternoon Is on the indefinite postpone
ment of the whole matter and the. .conces-
sion on the part of the reformers, that,
during the last municipal campaign,
they were talking through their hats.
There is to be no special election for
the Tenth Ward. Attorney Jonn w.
Hogan is still in the race though for
Nov. 8.
ANNUAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
The important business at tonight's
session will be in relation to the annual
appropriation bill for the support OF the
city government during the year ending
September 80, 1897. 1t Is to be presented
by Chairman Phillips OF the financial
committee, with recommendation OF pass
ege. The total called for is s3,579, ,241. CO,
which exceeds the footing of last year. s
appropriation by s117, 100 10.
The estimate OF the coming years ex-
penses made up last March by City Audi
tor Chase was s3,a77, 220.9l but since that
time The city has issued ifs bonds for
500, 600 which means an additional ex-
pense each year OF S3s, 900 for interest ana
sinking fund.
The temporary loan accounts have not
decreased any as the result of the 800, COO
bond Issue so the interest for one does
not Offset the other.
The amount due from taxes is e.
s74, $50. % and the estimate of all other re-
ceipts for the coming year is S726, ,525 so
that, assuming that all taxes VIII lie paid
the city's total income will exceed total
outlay by s22, 90.
Last years. appropriation bill amounted
to s3, 1852. 141.5
The increase is pretty generally divided
up among the several departments.
Vigorous objection is expected from
the highway department.. In their esti-
mates last spring they called for $500, O00
and they have got sf75. COO, the same
amount allowed O year ago.

DEMOCRATS HAVE NO HOPE.


The Democrats had no hope Of making
any gains In the Congressional districts
IN today's election. 1t was foregone
conclusion that Names "big four, :"

larger psjorities than ever before. Only
once in tho last dozen years has Rcod bad
any contest IN bis district that was ~
sll dangerous. Tnat wes in 1884, when
be squtezed through with 935 plurality.
Since then his lead has always been safe.
In the other districts the Republican
candidates have slwaJs mad votes TO

60 to 80 per cent of all pauperism, and
from so to So per cent of all crime" He

moval of the perils to both property and
life from drunkennessP"
Paterson, N. j., has a murder mystery
which is attracting much attention. The
victim was Miss Mamie Sullivan, 2S, a

avenue, one of the principal thoroughfares
of the city, within 10 feet of room where
several persons were sitting and only a
dozen doors from her own home. There is
no known motive for the murder, as she
had no enemies, and no attempt was made
to steal the valuables on her person.

EngIand,s Side of the Case.

The Venezuelan Blue Book, which con-
tains the British side of the case in the
boundary controversy, was issued by the
British government last Friday and a sum-
mary of its contents was cabled to this
country. 1t is largely historical in charac-
ter, beginning with the discovery, early in
the 10th century, of the country now
known as Venezuela and British Guiana,
its joint occupation by the Spanish and
Dutch up to 1913, when Spain acknowl-
edged the independence of the Neither
lands in the treaty of Munster; thence to
1906 when Great Britain acquired the ter
ritory now known as British Guiana, and
from that date on down to the present
time. Its publication at this time shows
the wish of the British government to
have its case in the hands of the Ameri-
can commissioners. The Venezuelan gov
ernment is expected to issue a counter
statement. This, with :he information ac-
quired by the American commissioners by
their researches, will give them the fullest
possible information on which to base their
conclusion as to the true divisional line.

American ConsuInte Attacked.

The feeling against Americans has caused
riots in Valencia and Bilboa, Spain. At
the latter place Sunday a mob of 1000 per
sons stoned the private residence of the
United States consul, breaking the win
dows, and then proceeded to the consulate,
shouting, Death to the Yankees" ""Down
with the United States" and other anti
American sentiments. The crowd attempt
ed TO tear down the escutcheon which was
fixed over the door, but were repelled by
the gendarmes who were guarding the con-
sulate. A fight followed between the mob
and the police, in which sticks, stones,
knives, etc, were freely used. Three
gendarmes were injured and number OF
the mob were hurt. The police succeeded
in dispensing the crowd at midnight.

A Hot Debate on the Question of Cuban
Recognition.

The time of the United States Senate
has been occupied this week with an ex-
citing debate on the resolutions recogniz-
ing the bellgerency of the Cuban revolu-
tionists When the House resolutions.
which had been agreed to in conference,
came up Monday Senator Hoar moved for
postponement of their consideration un-
til April 8, with a provision that the com
mittee on foreign relations be directed TO
report the facts justifying the resolutions.
Senator Hale of Maine made a strong
speech against hssty and hostile action
toward Spain.
The Spanish minister TO this country
caused a statement to be made in the pub
lie press denying the truth of the charges of
Spanish cruelty made by Senator Sherman
in his speech, and this fact aroused the
wrath of Senators who are anxious for
Cuban recognition. In Tuesdays debate
Senators Lodge, Teller and Gray scored
the offending diplomat and said the Of
fence was sufficient TO warrant our gov
ernment in depanding his recall.
The climax of the debate was reached
on Wednesday when Senator Hoar made
brilliant and scathing speech riddling
the case of the advocates of hasty action
in this important matter, exposing the
weakness of the evidence on which it is
proposed to grant recognition, and max
| ing the leaders in the movement very
uncomfortable.
The resolutions went to the calendar at
the conclusion of Senator Hoars speech,
where they may be called up for final ac-
ton at any time.
Yesterday Senator Sherman spoke in re-
ply to Senator Hoar, defending the action
of the committee on foreign affairs in re-
porting the resolutions, and saying that he
had ample proof-through official sources,
but private in nature-of the truth of the
charges of Spanish cruelty made by him in
his speech.

Senatorial E,,rnraCsncs.

Senator Chandler of New Hampshire
has created a diversion in the Senate by
attacking the extravaganza of the Senate
in the II : of the public funds. His at
tack is in Nne form of resolutions calling
for an investigation of Senate expendi-
lures, and he means to push the considera-
tion of the resolution until the facts are
before the public. In a letter addressed to
the committees having the resolutions in
charge Mr.. Chandler shows that under the
present system it requires 1853 employees to
wait upon 90 Senators at an expense of
S4S2, 900 annually. Each senator has clerk,
and each committee has a clerk, which is
probably necessary, but in addition to
these there are l32 messengers, laborers
and pages whose only duties are to attend
to the wants of the senator's The pay
roll has increased from $3l7, 1881 in 1887 to
$4S1 ,2S0 in 1895. The total increase since
1888 has been Sl62,34 Commenting on
the increase in the number of Senate EN-
ployes Mr.. Chandler says the figures show
that there are about four employees to each
of the 90 senators, and leaving out the po-
licemen the number is still 33S. 1t is
charged, moreover, that the work of many
of these attaches has little connection
with the public service, but that their serv-
ices are made use of by the senators in a
strictly private and personal way while the
bills are paid by the public out of the con-
tingent fund.
