of 130 pounds. The city now has 294 plugs and pays $55 aplug a year. We contract to supply any number of plugs at $40 a year each and give 130 pounds pressure. That will throw water on the highest buildings"
 MT Kelly said to the members of the council: We present. the petition with every assurance that we are in a posi- ton to fulfill our part of the contract. We desire to send the papers off tomor- plugs and pays $55 plug year. We the matter attended to as early as pcs- sible
 We have now the best assurance in the woal1d that we can fulfill our end of the agreement"
 Alderman Moore made g. motion to extend the time. Alderman Kerr, be- fore the motion could be disposed of, asked that section 13 of the contract granted in 1892 be read. This section relates to a certain number of hydrants that should be used by the city for thirty years. The old water company claims that according to their agree ment the city cannot have their hy- drants removed and Alderman Kerr desired to avoid a similar complication with the new company.
 At this juncture Alderman Gray asked if this would make the city pay more water rent and said 1t couldn't pay for what it was getting now. o-
 Alderman Altman said this thing of granting franchises had gotten to be a one-sded proposition, the city granted the franchises and got no returns He thought the matter should be referred to a committee and more time be given
 MT. Kelley insisted that the matter was very urgent and at last it was de-. cided to refer the question to the judi ciary committee, which will report at a special meeting Friday at 12 o'clock.
 The ordinance which the Birmingham Industrial company seekst to have con tinued was granted to Caldwell Brad shaw and associates in September, 1892, and bears the note of transfer by him to the above named company
 The water is to come from the ar- tesian wells at Gate City and is clear and pure. The ordinance stipulates that quantity not under 5,O0O,0 gallons daily must be pumped.
 There is a vast dieffrence in rates. as was shown by comparative sta.tement in The Age-Herafd of Sept. 16.

KELLEY IS VERY CONFIDENT

The movement for a new water works in Birmingham bobbed up at the meet ing of the city council last night in the shape of request that the cha rter granted in September. 1892, to Caldwell Bradshaw and associates be continued un.n October l. 1899.
 The petition was referred to the jul dietary committee and action will be taken at a special meeting Friday after noon.
 George c. Kelly who advocated the continuance of the contract said to an Age-Heraid reporter after the meet ing:
 We propose to build the new water works system at once and give Birming- ham good and pure water. In the pres ent water supply we get the sewage and wa things from Five-M1le creek ard Vil- lage creek, and tIhe water from the Ca haba river sometimes stands in the set tling basin until it almost becomes stag nant.
 Under the present conltract eff the city with the present water works company a pressure of 90 pounds is required on the fire plug supply. Yet the fire chief says it has never exceelded S5 pounds. We pledge ourselves to give pressure

Subsequently they cabled to the government at Madrid requesting that weyler be retained at the head of the Spanish forces in the island as well ns in control of its political affairs.

The list of the ministers is a clear indication that the platform of the new cabinet ss pure and logical autonomy for Cuba. We have absolute coniidence dn a prompt re-sstablishment of peace. The rise in Spanish securities fin Europe shows that the public in Spain and abroad has great confidence in Seror Sagasta's cabinet
 The Union ConstitucionaL the organ of the conservative party. says: The change in the Spanish cabinet is of mi- nor importance, as all true Spaniards must have the same patriotism in de- fending the high ideas of the nation.
 El Padz, the organ of the autonomist party, says it sympath.zes with the new cabinet for having declared in favor of autonomy and hopes Senor Sagasta will make good in power the promises he gave while in the opposition.
 La Lucna says: This is the hast chance in a game of the greatest im- portance for the future an1 for the his- tory of Spain and her coGoniss.
 Friends of the insurgent cause. while mot disgusted with ths cabinet say they are not satisfied with an autonomy which arrives after the island a1as been ruined and the insurgents have sacrificed many lives.
 A we'll known American who has long rssided in the island expresses the opin- ion that real differences exist among the resident Spania1ds as to the Idesirability of autonomy. He believes it will not prove satisfactory to the radical element among the Spaniards in Cuba. After autonomy has been granted and peace proclaimed he believes the radical ele- ment will probably try to prompt an- other insurrection.

Was the Reported Action of the President of
 Costi Rica.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Senor Calvo, the Costa Rican representative here, states positively that the reports that Presi- dent Inbglesias, of Costa Rica, has pro- claimed himself dictator are without foundation. MT. Calco received a copy of the official decree, which doubtless gave rise to the reports of a dictator ship. The decree was issued by the permanent commission of congress and not by the president, and it Is limited to a suspension of the right of habeas corpus for sixty days from Sept. 15. This, the decree states, is in accordance with Section of the constitution. The de- cree gives the president no unusual power. It is signed by President Ingle- sias and is the only decree of an ex- traordinary character issued of late
 MT. Calvo states that the disorder which occurred at Santo Domingo was temporary and wholly in the nature of a local riot. It was this riot which gave rise to the occasion under the copsti- tuition for the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. MT. Calvo believes that the suspension will be vacated before the sixty days of its existence expires. as the need for it has passed away.

 The rumors that Marshal Maezrni Campos would probably be re-appointed to Cuba gives great satisfaction to the native islanders, but the Spaniards open ly express their disapproval, as they contend that his weakness was the origi- nal cause of the revolt. They hold Cam DOS responsible for the extension of the revolution into western Cuba.

INTERESTING FOR A WHILE

Chicago, Oct. 6.-Fanned by strong breeze from the west fire which broke out-in the Dexter park pavilion at the Union Stock Yards this morning spread to ths districts between Halsted and Union avenue and F'orty-third and For ty-fifth streets, demolishin!g business houses and residences. sWk
 The worst sufferers among the resi- dents were those living along Halst=d street between Forty-tht.d and Forty fourth streets. Business houses anl residences alike, all of them frame struc- lures, furnished ready matertal for, the flames which ragged from o'clock until o'clock and then yielded to the viz orous work of the fire department. A number of persons were injured during the. fight which the fine department made against the flames. .One man was burned to death.

 JOYCE MANLEY, fireman, overcome by smoke and heat, will recover.
 F. r. S. LEARN, broken leg.
 HENRY WATTS, employe of stock yards. slightly burned.
 William Donahue, fireman, injured by falling timb=r, will recover.
 The Dexter park pavilion stands only a few yards southwest o fthe main horse market, which is an immense frame af- fair covered by huge dome
 For the latter building to have caught fire would have meant the destruction of that portion of the stock yards. The pavilion contained 300 horses, and it was with the greateSii difficulty that they were rescued AS it was many were burned to death.
 Patrick Casey, am employe of the stock yards, discovered the fire and after turn ing on the alarm, ran wllh three conl- panions into the pavilion to release the horses. Many of them were in pens and It was an easy matter to turn them loose but 8 very differerl. thing to get them out of the building. Casey and his ccm- panions narrowly escaped being rampled to death by tine maddened brutes as they endeaveroed to drive them through tlhe doors. Casey was knocked down once and badly bruised, and Henry Walsh, who was also trying to release ahe horses, was injured in the same man. rer. Tt was found impossible to get a single horse to leave the pavilions until the men, by main strength, dragged one through the door, and then the others followed rapidly. The flames spread so rapidly t1hat not all of them could be saved, but 1t is not thought that many were destroyed.
 The chief losses ujing from the fire are as follows:
 Dexter Park pavilion, consisting of eight barns, s5o,oOo.
 Armour & Co.'s sheds, near pavilion, $500; feeding pavilion, $S,O0o; freight cars belonging to the Union stock yards and Transit company and the Chicago and Alton railroad. s1o,ooo; twenty eight resi- dences and si.ores were damaged by the flames, tIhc loss in each particular in stance being small.
