| It is probable that another election on
the question of issuing fire department
bonds will be held as soon as the pre-
liminary arrangements can be made.
This action has not been fully decided
upon but it will come up at the next
meeting of the board of fire commission
ers when the opinions of all members will
be heard on the subject Those who have
been asked about the matter are unani-
nous in the opinion that If the election
were to be held today the bonds would
carry. They assert that the fire de-
partment bonds were defeated only
through being handicapped by being
Joined with the school bonds. Since the
election scores of persons have told
those Interested in the matter, the fire
men and others, that their reason for
voting against the bonds was the sup
position that they were in some way
connected with the school bonds. Others
have stated that they did not understand
the matter: that they did not know that
the bonds would have really effected a
saving to the city in addition to giving
additional fire protection.
Mayor Snyder was asked yesterday
what he thought of calling another cleo
ton and said:
"There can be no doubt as to the ad-
visibility of issuing the bonds, and l be-
lieve had the propositions been made
singly the fire bonds would have carried
whatever the fate of the other issue. AS
to the matter of calling another election,
diScnSSpd
to make possible any prediction as to
what will be done. The subject Will be
talked over among the commissioners
and If it is thought best to recommend
such action the council will be requested
to pass the necessary ordinance. 1 be-
lieve If the matter Is again submitted TO
the people, they, understanding better
what the purpose of the bond issue is,
would vote for 1t in such numbers as to
assure a victory Of the proposition by
larger proportion Of voters than the nee
essary two-thirds. 1 am in favor of the
bonds for the reason that by Issuing
them there would be saving to the city
Of more than $4,000 year and at the
same time give fire department which
would be second to none west OF the
Rocky mountains"
Several of the members OF the city
council have expressed themselves in IA
vor of another election. In order to
again vote on the bonds It Is only neces-
sary that the regular course be followed,
the ordinance of intention being first
passed, and following this, the final ordi-
nance. The time necessary to legally
hold another election would be about
seventy days. City Attorney Dunn
stated yesterday that there was nothing
to prevent the preliminary arrangements
being made at once II the council so de-
sired

Peruvian Marriages

LIMA, Peru, Dec. 9.-President Pierola
has vetoed the measure. recently passed
by Congress-, legalizing non-Catholic
marriages in Peru and providing for the

authorized the registration Of foreign
ers, without providing for native-borr
Peruvians descended from Protestantf

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. o.
Throughout Russia there IL general un-
rest among the Moslems. It Is attri-
buted to the exaggerated reports Of the
Turkish victories over the great Greek
empire" which have spread through
the length and breadth Of the continent.
The authorities even fear that the re-
vival Of the brigandage recently noticed
in the Caucasus is directed almost solely
against the government officials, and
the unprecedented phenomenon of the
Georgians displaying hostility toward
Armenians has become manifest.
The danger Is so serious that q con-
ference of Caucasian governors has been
convoked to concert measures of pacifi-
cation. Travellers In Central Asia re-
port an extraordinary ferment among
the Moslems Of different races. They
are sinking their mutual animosities
and declaring that they are first Mo-
hammedans. with the sultan as their
common chief. 1t Is evident that the
slightest pretext would sufiice to bring
about an uprising and plunge Russia
into the same sea Of trouble as India ID
now in.

The "time limit" of 20 minutes in the

terday, when the mayor signed the
measure whereby the anti-hitching or

Glass is quoted as having said that he
believes that the new law can be en-
forced, but the officers practically laugh
at 1t as 1t stands and declare their In

The committee on special trains from
here to Washington FOR the inaugura.
ton. has announced that the limited
space for correspondents is exhausted
by the applications of the correspond.
ents who have been assigned to Can.

desire of Major Mckinley that they b,

have been working here were paid this
compliment.
James IL. Cheney a colored politician

STRUCK SUNkEN ROCK.
Front Compartments Of Cruiser
Brooklyn Stove In.
She Will Remain Tied to Ice
Breakers.
Damaue win Not Be known Until She Is Put
Damage Will Not Be Known Until She Is pui
In Dry Dock

Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-The cruiser
Brooklyn is helplessly fast on sunken
ledge in the Delaware river, above Mar
Gus Hook. She was being moved Sat
urday, when the accident occurred.
Her lower double compartments for
ward were completely stove In. and 1t
was only. by the merest good fortune
that the big vessel did not sink. This
would undoubtedly have been the re-
suit had not her inner compartments
successfully withstood the shock. AS II
was, she was pulled clear of the rocks,
and is now tied TO the big stone ice
breakers at Marcus Hook, protected
from the heavy ice gorges In mid-river.
The big vessel is seriously damaged. and
