D. I. BAcHMAN.
Roanoke. Va, May 10. 1896.
If Councilman Bachmsn, after o long
Acquaintance with the members Of our
City Council, thinks 1t proper to say,
There may be fools in the City Coun-
Gil, "it is not for TIE TIMES to discuss
the matter, but 1t sincerely regrets that
. member of that body should use such
language In referring to our city
fathers, THE TIMES Is not so wanting
in respect for that tody or the people Of
Roanoke as to state, even by indirec-
ton, that possibly we may have elected
fools to manage our city affairs. THE
TIMES is Of the opinion that our present
City Council is body OF intelligent
gentlemen, but to say that they are in
fallible, that they are not capsule of
making unwise laws. would be foolish
ON the part of THE TIMES.
Mr.. Bachman's reference to what
councils in other cities have done
would indicate that he gets his wisdom
by proxy and we truly hope that coun-
cils in other cities may not pass ordi-
nances regulating the hours OF meals.
for in that event Councilman Bachman
might insist on "blessing" our people
with similar ordinance. II the NUM-
,ipal council of Philadelphia should pass
IN ordinance requiring all vehicle
drivers and horseback riders to csrry
headlights, we presume Councilman
Bachman would at once introduce
similar ordinance in the City Council.
Such law would be equally as free
from constitutional uncertainty and
would certainly be attended with much
less risk to the public than the bicycle
lantern ordinance.

JEALOUS OF THE UNITED STATES.

From the tone of the French press it
Is evident that the people OF France
sympathize with Spain in It's dispute
with the United States. The power and
resources Of this country as displayed
in the late civil war have greatly
raised the prestige Of the United States
among the nations Of the world, and the
disposition lately shown by the Amer.
lean government to have som ething to
say in the management of affairs on
the Western continent has excited the
jealous fears OF European powers;
hence they do not hesitate to decide
against the government at Washington
in any dispute which involves limita-
ton of their influence on this side of
the Atlantic.
They may, however, kick and squirm
as much 90 they choose; 1t will do no
good. Americans are fully conscious of
the feet that their Government ia the
proper arbiser Of ell disputes between
the republics of the Western Hemis-
phere and the monerchical governments
of the old world, and, what ia more,
they are determined that 1t shall act in
that role whenever necessary. France,
Germany and Great Britain combined
cannot deter them from pursuing this
course, as they will discover, should
they make the attempt, which they are
not likely to do.
They have already come to the con-
clusion from recent events. that tho
people Of the United States are spoiliog
for fight, merely for the excitement
of the thing and to try their new navy.
and they do not care to provoke them.
This idea is probably o mistaken one, as
applied to the majority, but all tae
world knows that If Americans once
engage in war. they will give their
enemies very warm time, should their
honor and safety require 1t.

editorial contsined In your issue OF

No Danger of a Flood.

Considerable uneasiness has been
expressed of late by the citizens of
The Dalles lest unusually high water
will occur this season. They have
based their belief on the fact that the
spring thaw in the Rocky mountains
is uncommonly late, and when the
snow begins melting the water will
come down in such volumes as to cause
a flood at this place. Mr.. S. L. Brooks,
who has kept an accurate record of the
weather and rise and fall of the river
for many years, says there is little
cause to fear high water. A compari
son of the records OF past years shows
the temperature and stage of the river
this year to be about the average, and
since there is no more snow in the
mountains this spring than common he
does not anticipate an unusual rise in
the Columbia. 1t would require un-
common weather, extreme heat and
continued rains, to bring it up even to
the high water mark of 1875.

and Washington items in the river and

without opposition today. including
the appropriation for the boat railway

There will be fight on both items in

With the bond resolution out of the
way, the senate gave its attention to
the accumulation of minor measures
before going on with the river and

Mitchell of Oregon gave notice that
when the last appropriation bill was
passed. he would press the joint res
olution for election of senators by the
people, not for the sake of having fur
ther spee;hes but to actually adopt
the resolution.
The river and harbor bill was then
taken up. On point of order by Cor

employed on river and harbor works

aries by the natives of the i5ltnds of
Manning Straits and solomon islands.
Mallayta savages butchered the whole
boats crew of men from the brig Rio
Loge, at Rubiana. Two French and
one American trader were slaughtered.
The mission on the island has been at
tackled, aud the missionaries escaped
with difficulty, going back to Sidney
by the first ship. The murders on the
islands of Manning Straits were fol-
lowed by acts of canpibalism. A small
trading schooner, owned by a French
trader, was attacked aud the owner
and his American assistant and eight
peaceable natives were lured ashore
and beaten to death. The trading sta
tion was sacked. Two English mis-
sionaries could not be found, and it is
supposed they were also murdered.
The mission on Tounan island has
been abandoned. as result of the at
rocities of the natives.

Execution of the Competitor Captives is
Delayed.
HAVANA, May 10.-The Spanish
government has been asked to approve
the sentences of death passed by the
court-martial upon the men captured
on the Competitor on charge of
piracy and dfevolution. The men sem
tenced are Alfredo Laborde, said to be
the leader of the party, and claiming
American citizenship; Elias Beda, also
claiming American citizenship; Will
liam Gildea, said to be British SUBJ
ject; John Milton, native of Kansas,
and Teodoro Mata. This places the
fate of the men in the hands of the
authorities at Madrid, and ensures
that they will not be executed with
out an order from the Spanish govern
ment.
The question of the execution of the
captives of the Competitor is recog-
nized to be one of the most important
which. has occurred since the insurrec-
tion broke out. Now that the question
has been referred to the government
at Madrid, the situation here has
quieted down, though there is no ces-
sation of interest and discussion of the
question. The attitude of the public
is rather one of waiting on the decision
of the Madrid government. The situa-
ton is attended by much impatience
and no little anxiety.

point three miles south of Gold Hill.
At least 1000 people witnessed the
ceremony. and enjoyed the barbecue

The company intends to construct
two canals, lower and upper one.
The lower canal will be for its own
use, and the upper one for the sale Of
water to those having ground to work.
The company expects to have the canal
completed within two years. The size
of'the ditch will be 20 feet wide at the
bottom, 6 feet deep and 30 feet at the
top. The water for this canal will be
taken out of Rogue river. Its present
objective point is Foot's creek dis

Governor McCorkle advocates Its Con-
struction Before a Committee.
WASHINGTON, May S.-Governor
McCorkle, of West Virginia, appeared
before the house committee on COM
merce today to advocate he construc-
tion of the Nicaragua canal.
He spoke in behalf of the coal inter-
ests in his own and adjacent states, de-
claring that that section would be
able to control the coal markets of the
Pacific coast, of North and South
America, with the shipping facilities
which would be afforded by the canal.
At present all coal used on the Pacific
coast, he stated, Is mined in Australia,
Japan and Vancouver.
He predicted that with the advance
ment of the Japanese they would mon
opolize the coal business of the coast
unless the canal should be built, when
the freight rates would enable West
Virginia to undersell the Japanese.

Governor Mitchell. ordering him to
hold the Fifth Florida battalion in
readiness for immediate action, on ac-
count of the bold stand taken by the
president in reg ard to the execution OF
the men captured on board the Com
petitor. The affair has caused great
excitement here among the Spanish
and Cuban population, and the sum-
mary orders are taken as an indication
of a very serious situation.
