service, and, to his mind, this was a
poor way to secure it. Aid. Donahow-
er said, if the passage of the ordi-
nance would give better street car
service, he would vote for it, If the
ordinance was passed and the courts
held that the council had the right to
revoke the franchise, what assurance
did the council have that the service
would be better? Aid. Bigelow advo-
Gated the passage of the ordinance, al
though he admitted that, if the street
railway officials would come in and
make fair proposition, it might be
better not to pass the measure. They
had refused to accept ordinances, and
fair ones at that, passed by the council.
and there was no need of passing 9TH
ers Aid. Sanborn wanted to have Mr..
Lowry appear before the Commute,
and, with the understanding that Mr..
Lowry would appear Monday night
and bring in proposition, an adjourn
ment was taken. Supt. Smith said he
could not speak for Mr.. Lowry, but
was certain that Vice President Good
rich and Mr. Mum would be present
Monday evening.

AWAIT MIR. LowRY's RETURN.
Aldermen Not Inclined to Push the
AIbrecht Ordinance.

The committee on streets from the
board of aldermen held special meet
Ing last evening for the avoWed pur-
pose of considering the ordinance
passed by the assembly forfeiting the
cable franchise of the street railway
company. After an hour passed In dis
cussion In which Aid. Kenny and
Donahower INDUCED in some red hot"
repartee, an adjournment was taken to
Monday evening. 1t was understood
that at the adjourned meeting Presi-
dent Lowry and NJ. D. Mum. attorney
for the street railway company. would
both appear and make some kind of
proposition which would make the
passage of the ordinance FORGETTING the
cable franchise unnecessary.
Aid. Kenny in calling the members
to order said he had sent out the call
for the meeting at the request OF five
of the members of the board of alder
men. IT has been deemed necessary to
have a special meeting of the commit
tee in order that the ordinance could
be passed at a special meeting of the
board tomorrow evening. Aid. Bell was
very anxious to know the names of the
members of the board who had re-
quested the committee meeting called.
Aid. Kenny said he did not care to
go into that matter. He had called the
meeting
were present. At the time the call was
issued he had notified Superintendent
Smith, of the street railway company,
to be present and also requested him
to bring any proposition in writing that
the company desired to make regard
ing the acceptance Of the three ordin-
ances passed by the council relating to
the Broadway loop, Union depot loop
and the Selby avenue electric line. Aid.
Donahower took occasion to say that
he understood the chairman to say that
the meeting was called to discuss the
Albrecht ordinance. If this was so,
why was the Broadway loop brought
up? Aid. Kenny fared up and he and
the Fourth ward alderman INDUCED IN
a lively tilt of words.
Supt Smith stated that he had noti-
fed Vice President Goodrich of the
meeting, and that gentleman had tele-
graphed to President Lowry, who was
in New York in company with Attor-
ney Mum. A telegram had been re-
ceived from Mr.. Lowry stating that Mr..
Mum would be back IN st. Paul Fri
day, and that he would be here Sum
day. Until the gentlemen returned. Mr..
Smith asked that no action be taken.
In response to questions by Aid. San
born, Supt. Smith said he thought the
company would be able next week to
submit g. proposition to the COUNCIL.
Aid. Sanborn said he did not see how
the passage of the Albrecht ordinance
would help settle the street railway
problem. Aid. Kenny said it was plain
TO him and also to others that the only
way to get the street car company. to
come to terms was to pass the ordi-
nance. Aid Lindahl thought the AL
brecht ordinance had nothing to do
with the other ordinances passed by
the council Aid Shepard was Of the
opinion that nothing could be gained
by passing the ordinance and tying the
line UP in the courts for five or six
years. What the people In this sec
ton of the city wanted was better

WHAT IS A BRIGADE POSTf
Whatever 1t Is, Maj. Espy Wants
One.

The Pioneer Press "touted" q "bri-
gade post" for Fort Smelling yesterday
morning, and a few hours later Maj.
FIspy, at the meeting Of the chamber
of commerce, played the Pioneer Press
tip to win by introducing the following
resolution:
Whereas Fort Smelling is most beautifully
and centrally located on large tract or gov
eminent land, near the head OF navigation
on the Mississippi river. and within great
railroad center, diverging to all sections OF
this country, making it one Of the most i'm
portant military posts there Is in our govern
ment.
quest our delegation in congress to use their
efforts to secure the necessary legislation and
appropriation to change Fort Smelling from a
regimental to q brigade military post
Resolved, That the secretary is hereby d. IL
rected to forward copy Of this resolution 10
each of our senators and representatives IN
congress.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on state affairs.
In introducing the resolution Maj.
Espy repeated all the errors, or as
many Of them as he could In limited
time. that appeared in the newspaper
article. He said that all the important
headquarters in the West were located
near "brigade posts" and that st. Paul
was one Of the few exceptions. lie
thought the regimental post at st. PAU
should be converted into brigade post.
The committee will probably try to find
ont what the Pioneer Press and Maj.
Espy have in mind, because Gen. Wade
saws there is no such thing as a 'bri-
gade post" Maj. Espy and the Pioneer
Press, or the Pioneer Press and Maj.
Espv may have in mind the securing OF
a, mixed garrison for Fort Smelling, but
in view of the fact that Fort Smelling
now has a larger military population
than a whole lot Of other forts, this
NAV not be possible. Without knowing
that Maj. Espy had followed the
pioneer Press tip. Gen. Wade spoke
of the subject yesterday in this way;
"The army officer who furnished the
information for the story Of brigade
nosts.' for a. morning paper, must have
been badly misquoted by the reporter
that is if any army officer did say these
I'm the first place." continued the
general. "the officer is quoted as saying
things and using expressions that no
one familiar with the service would
use. There is no such a thing as
brigade post I presume 1t would
mean a post where two or more regi-
ments are quartered, and that would
not fit the case of either st. Louis or
Fort Leavenworth. What the speaker
or writer or both evidently meant to

ers be reduced in the same proportion
as the wages Of the employees, and each
member Of the committee has agreed to
bring about this reduction in the ad-
ministrative cost in his own mill
Secretary O'Donnell, Of the Spinners'
union, has received a vehement letter
from Robert Howard, of Boston, former
secretary Of the union, In which he
says: I'm. reading over the names Of
the committee Of the manufacturers
who are to draft the details Of the cut
down and decide how 1t is to be in
flicted, 7 notice seven names Of agents
whose combined salaries amount to
$4,000 a year, or nearly $1,000 a week.
salaries would be equivalent to O. re-
duction Of 125 weavers at So week.
I believe it would be wise and proper
course to pursue to call a national con-
vention Immediately"

convey was that at some points diff
ferent branches of the service are rep
resented. For example, at st. Louis
some time ago there was attachments
of infantry, cavalry and artillery sta
toned there, although L believe that
the last named has been detailed to
another post.
Incidentally I will add that neither
Fort Leavenworth nor st. Louis Is a de-
partment headquarters. They are both
in the department Of Missouri, the
headquarters Of which IS Chicago. just
as this Is the headquarters of the de-
partment Of Dakota.
ut might be g good idea to have a
larger force stationed at Fort Smelling;
this is an excellent point from which
to send troops, as the railroads branch
out In every direction-only we haven't
the troops"

DaIy's Horse.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The Mail and Ex-
press says today: Those who connect the
visit of William Lakeland to Kentucky with
the purchase of Hamburg say there is no
doubt that Marcus DAILY, the Montana copper
est son. Mr.. DAILY has expended $25O,O0O in
money in the last four years trying to get
a good horse. His costly stable has not had
any success since the time Of the all-con-
den in the futurity in 1885, Mr.. Daily has
announced his intention of retiring from the
Eastern turf, but there is reason today for
believing that he has engaged Lakeland as
trainer and will try his luck again."

FUNDS FOR CITY LIGHTING.
Amount In the Budget Isn't COnsid-
cred Sufficient.

The Joint council committee on gas
met last evening and recommended the
award of the contract for lighting the
city with gas and electric lights TO the
st. Paul Gas company. The contract
for gasoline lighting was recommended
to be awarded to the American De-
yelopment company at 1874 per lamp
per month. This formality having
been gone through with the commit
tee settled down to figuring as to the
amount needed to light the city for
the coming year. The estimate of the
comptroller placed the sum at $114,0G0,
of which amount S104,661 only was for
the lighting of the streets Of the city
with gas, electric lights and gasoline
AS only go per cent of the tax estimate
could be depended upon, Assemblyman
Kirke said it would be necessary to
have this item in the budget increased.
The committee after considerable figur-
ing arrived at the conclusion that In
order to carry out the plans considered
by them and properly light the city 1t
would cost Sill SOB To this sum would
have to be added 1888 for gas fur
nished public buildings. interest on
mains and posts and incidental eX-
penses making the total amount for all
