mendous Loss
PHILADELPHIA Pa, Nov. 9.-Amid
cheers, cat calls and Kisses, which the
police vainly endeavored to prevent. the
Common Council Of the City Of Phila-
delphia last night voted away the most
valuable property now owned by the
city-the gas works, worth at least $40,-
100000. The members who opposed the
deal spoke bitterly against the proposed
legislation and the members favoring
the measure said nothing. Finally, their
leader, Mr.. Van Osten, arose and moved
the previous question. At that time the
galleries were filled with citizens. The
question being ordered, the roll was
called and the vote stood rs to SO to give
away for thirty years this immense
property. A scene Of great confusion
followed.
"Shame!" some one in the gallery
shouted, and there came in moment
such a storm of Kisses as has never
been heard in the Council chamber of
Philadelphia before. The disorder con-
tinued for some time and it was over
half an hour before the galleries could
be cleared.
Early in the session communication
was read from the Baker Syndicate. COM

DOWN FROM DAWSON
Gold Not Plentiful and Food Very
Scarce

NANAIMO, B. c., Nov. 9.-The steam
er George w. Elder has arrived here.
Among her passengers was Donald
Nicholson, who left Dawson September
23 Mr.. Nicholson says the food problem
was most perplexing question when he
left Dawson. seven steamers being then
overdue. Nicholson says that Skookum
Gulch proved an absolute failure outside
of one claim. He believes the country
to be rich, but it can never be properly
developed until provisions are cheaper.
Work is plentiful at $1.50 per hour.
The gold commissioner and mounted
police did not consider it advisable un-
der existing circumstances to collect the
20 per cent royalty and to reserve alter
nate claims for the government. The
miners are not required to take out Ii
censes, but have to pay SIS for stalking
claims. which pays for surveying and
recording, and 800 for claim in the sec
ond year.

FAMOUS REBEL
Talks Very Bloodily While He Plays
Poker

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 9.-The steamer
Albion, which arrived here today from
Mexican ports. had as passenger from
San Benito to Salina Cruz Prospero
Morales, the leader of the recent revolt
in Guatemala. He was very bitter
against Fuentes.
"If the traitor Fuentes had not been on
Mexican territory said Morales, my
soldiers would have shot him down like
dog. He kept out of sight and as soon
as he could he smuggled himself aboard
a Pacific Mail steamer for San Fran.
cisco. If he returns to the country he
has betrayed the soil will be stained for
the last time with his blood. 1t is no
time to parley with traitors. I think
he realizes this and will not return
The Albion's passengers say that the
distinguished Guatemalan Carried q
large amount Of gold with him and
patronized the poker game very literally
during the day he was with them on the
steamer
Morales was accompanied by Col.
Lima, one of the heroes of the battle of
Quezaltenango, where he was woundtd
four times, and by ten other officers in
the revolutionary army. They said their
cause did not lack for the sinews of war.
Morales tried to charter the Albion be-
fore her arrival at San Benito, to carry
2000 Guatemalan soldiers, now at Tapa-
chula, down the coast to Acajulta, in
order to attack Barrios' army from the
south. The steamship company's agent
declined to charter the vessel.
The chief of the revolutionists was not
Respondent He said he would get an
other vessel. With his staff he was on
his way to the City of Mexico and their
plans were to proceed to the Atlantic
coast and join the revolutionists on that
side. All insisted that the revolution
had barely begun and they declared that
more men and money would be devoted
to the cause than ever before. All the
refugees said the retreat from Quesal-
tenango was disgraceful rout and that
the treachery of Gen. Daniel Fuentes
and Catholic bishop was at the bottom
of their defeat.

Political Chaos

LONDON, Nov. "a letter received
here from Vienna says the published re-
ports Of the situation in the Austrian
empire convey no adequate idea Of the
chaos prevailing. "Badeni must go!" is
the general war-cry now. and his down.
fall Is considered inevitable, regardless
Of the outcome of the fights between the
Germans and Czechs. The letter adds
mo one can foresee how it will end. If
the Germans win, there may be blood
shed in Bohemia; and ii the Bohemians
are persistent, the Germans will have to
fight with their sharpest weapons to as
sert their prerogatives and save the
Austro- Hungarian duality. The dan
ger. however. lies in the active partici-
patton in the fight by the Germans over
the border. There is actually a small
party in the Reichsrath which openly
declares for Prussia and wants to see the
former German province, Bohemia
handed over to the Hohenzollerns.''
