Governor Stands Up for Militia.

Cincinnati, June 7.-Gov. Bushnell, in
a letter to the Commercial Tribune
says:
1.-THE members of the national guard at
Urbana did their duty and are entitled to
the support of the state. Lamentable as
the results were, their efforts were to
maintain the majesty of the law and they
should be upheld by all the people,
Adjutant- General Axline says:
"A careful examination at Urbana
fails to show that the national guards
conduct was anything but that of courage
GUS and obedient soldiers, and when HE
public is in full possession of all the facts
and complications that surrounded that
service, the unwarranted criticisms that
have gone out to the world will be spedi-
ly corrected

OVER A MILLION
Appropriated by City Government
Last Night.
THIS WILL MAKE TAX RATE ABOUT
s21.5O ON A THOUSAND.

Fathers-Much Discussion over the
Appropriation Bill Other Import
ant Business Observation-Disclosures
Rounds Ordinance to Regulate the
Employing of American Laborers on
Public Work.
The June meeting of the city govern
ment was very important one. The ap-
preparation bill amounting to 81 ,010, .08
was passed. The appropriation bill for
last year was 1912, 112. On the basis of
last years valuation this makes the tax
rate for Portland S21 80 on thousand
for the ensuing year. Many other import
ant matters were disposed of and it was
after one O'Clock when the meeting ad-
journed.
In Board OF Mayor and Aldermen.
When the board of aldermen were called
to order at 7.45 O'Clock all the members
were present. Mayor Randall. said that
if there was no objection the reading of
the minutes of the last meeting would
be dispensed with. Alderman Rounds
objected and desired that each part of the
record as referred to the granting of loca-
ton Of poles to the Postal Telegraph
Company be read. This was done and
Alderman Rounds asked the city clerk if
personal notice were given the abutters on
the streets on which the poles were to be
located. The city cler k said that none
had been given. Alderman Rounds
wanted the vote granting location to the
company reconsidered and rescinded as
h, claimed the location had been granted
REGULARLY.
Mayor Randall did not think the work
had been done irregularly and as Alder
man Rounds did not make motion to
rescind the action of the board the matter
was dropped.
Alderman Pagan then introduced the
appropriation bill as follows:

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Haydns Tonight.

MIR. w. K. Chapman, the protector of
the great Maine Musical Festival to be
given in this city in October next, was in
the city yesterday and conducted the re-
hearsals of the Haydns for the concert to
be given in City hall tonight. Anyone
who sees Mr.. Chapman in his position as
chorus conductor realizes the great power
he has over his choruses owing to his
intense musical enthusiasm. Yesterday
they responded admirably to his demands
upon them. The programme to be given
tonight, is as those who have perused 1t
in the PRESS well know, most carefully
selected and in miniature, giving good
idea of what the great festival will be.
At the concert this evening Mr. Chap
man will address the audience and make
a clear statement of the purposes and
expected results of this great festival. For
that reason there should be large atten-
dance of all people interested in the well
fare of the city. This Festival if success
full, will be of incalculable value to our
city, not only from an educational stand
point. but financially owing to the people
from out of town who will throng our.
streets and hotels every fall for series of
years, if not forever. 1t is a stupendous
undertaking and Mr.. Chapman is just
the man to explain it to the public. Go
and hear him tonight as well as the fine
music that will be grandly rendered by
the Haydns.

DISCUSSION OF THE BILL.
Alderman Rounds moved that the ap-
preparation bill be taken up in sections.
An aye and yea vote was taken on this
motion. 1t resulted in vote as follows:
No-Ilsley, Moore, Pagan and McDon-
aid.
Yes-Kehoe, Rounds, Leighton
The motion was lost.
Alderman Kehoe asked if there was any
objection to discussing the appropriation
BILL
The mayor said there was none if the
board desired to discuss it.
Alderman Leighton thought the proper
way to do was to discuss the bill in Sec
tons.
The mayor explained that the commit
tee had spent two months in considering
this matter and he thought the bill had
been made as small as possible. He said
that he could see no place in which a cut
down could be made.
Alderman Leighton asked why the es-
innate for lights should be $44O0. He be-
lieved that this estimate might be cut
down. He could see no reason why there
should be larger appropriation for lights
than there was last year.
Alderman Pagan explained that the
city had the armory and auditorium to
light in addition to the buildings of last
year. He did not believe this amount
could be cut down and the city be pro-
perly lighted.
Alderman Leighton, continuing to dis
cuss the bill, asked why the appropriation
for electrical appliances should be in
creased $500.

Alderman Rounds introduced an ordi-
nance to the effect that no person should
be employed by the city who was not an
American citizen and providing that in
all contracts for city work it should be
regulated so that contractors should alone
employ American laborers in their work.
Alderman Rounds asked that the rules
be suspended and the ordinance passed to
be engrossed.
Alderman Kehoe said he was in sympa-
thy with the ordinance but believed that
it should be referred to the committee on
rules and orders. This was ultimately
the fate of the ordinance.
Alderman Rounds also introduced a.
resolution asking the representatives of
Maine in Congress to use all honorable
means to secure the passage of bill pro-
viding that only American laborers
should be employed in the government
work now in progress in Casco Bay. This
resolution passed the upper board but was
turned down in the lower board. A COM
mittee of conference was asked for and
appointed by both boards and later was
referred to the committee on rules and
orders for revision.
WASHINGTON STREET BRIDGE
Alderman Kehoe introduced an order
authorizing the commissioner on public
works to rebuild the Washington street
bridge and directing the commissioner tn
make the contract for this work with the
Portland and Rochester railway.
Alderman Kehoe said that the cost of
this bridge would be something like s2s.-

The statement made a few days since
in reference to the Village Belle deal is
claimed to have been premature. On
Thursday, the first payment under the
bond and lease held by Charles Cheney
came due, and as Mr.. Cheney had de-
cided to let his interest go, the statement
gained currency that Mr.. B. J. Hardin
was again assuming interest in the prop.
erty. 1t is said now, however, that Mr.,
Morrison decided to take up the bond
and lease held by Cheney on nine twenty
seconds of the mine and made the drst
p avment on Thursday. He will now
hold a bond and lease on twenty twenty
seconds. Mr.. Morrison has worked persss-
tently and energeticalfy to place the pro-
perty upon sound basis and his untiring
efforts certainly merit success. If the
Village Belle bears out the promise it
mas given, and indeed now gives at the
present time, the owner will attain to a
degree of success in the measure wished
for him by his many friends.
