COUNCIL MEETINGS.
Deliberations of the Select and Com
mon Branches.

The select council met on Monday
evening and considered a message re-
ceived from the mayor. Mayor O'Neill
vetoed a part of the resolution IN
tended to provide him with an office
in the city building. Four resolutions
had been passed by both branches OF
the council. The first instructed the
city clerk to notify the board of trade
to vaCate their room, and next to trans
fer it to the police department. The
other resolutions related to the occu-
patton of the present police rooms by
the mayor. Three of these were We
toed, but the one relating to the board
of trade was approved and now stands
as law. When the resolutions We're
passed in view of providing room
for the mayor, it was not intended that
they should be separated. The vetoes
by the mayor leave the police where
they are at present, and so the board
of trade are without room, such as
they require. The vetoes were sus-
tanned by the council.
At the common council meeting on
Monday night but little business was
transacted. A number of bills from
The upper house We're approved and
necessary bills ordered paid. The
street committee reported favorably
the resolution to pave North Church
street. After attending to concurrent
matters the meeting adjourned. There
We're present Messrs. Baker, Colwell,

Senator German and Cuba.

Probably no single act of Senator Germans has
created more favorable impression than the stand
he took in the United States Senate few days ago
on the resolution appropriatng $4,000 Tor the re-
lief of starving Americans in the Island of Cuba
In speaking to the resolution Mr.. German declared
that the honor of America should be maintained
both at home and abroad, and that Americans
should receive the ample protection of which the
stars and stripes are synonymous i'll every part of
the globe The Senator as is well known is one
of the most conservative men in either House of
Congress. This conservatism he has displayed on
many occasions, but at the same time, when neces-
sity has demanded vigorous action he has likewise
given proof that he is not wanting in either per-
sonal or moral courage to express and uphold his
views.
So, when Mr.. German took the floor and stated
to the Senate, basing his remarks on reports from
Cuba of the brutality displayed by the Spanish gov.
eminent in the treatment of the peasantry of that
island and of their disregard of the rights of
Americans-when he said that in order to afford his
fellow countrymen the protection to which they
were entitled he would if necessary, send United
Ststes warship to the port of Havana, more
than interesting. This coming from man having
himself so well in hand, and with his well known
conservatism and care for the material and COM
mercial interest of his country, received with
profound regard by his fellow senator's, while the
great audience collected in the various galleries of
the Senate chamber gave free vent to their admi-
ration and it was echoed throughout the length
and breadth of the land.

From the Baltimore World of May 81
The manner in which the 80 cent tax charge
ON securities operates to the detriment of the
city treasury was exemplifed this morning.
when officers of the Safe Deposit and Trust
Company appeared before the appeal tax
court and made oath to its security holdings.
According to the sworn, itemized statement
fled with the appeal tax court this corporation
holds within So, 900 of SC, 900, 600 worth of Sc
curities, which are taxable at the rate of 80
cents on each $780, making SIS, 900 it has to
pay on them.
Last year this same corporation returned
for taxation securities to the amount of ST.
DOC, 900. which were taxed at the rate of 81 on
the 500. This rate made the tax charges
amount to $4,000 on the 100000. This
year with three times the amount in securities
returned the tax charges will be $22, 900 less
than they were last year.

wellington for weyler.

While a large part of the people Of Spain
are heartily sick of the expensive and brutal
war in Cuba, Wellington, "a Senator from
Maryland, stands up in the Senate of the
United States and pleads non-interference
and proclaims his admiration for Spain.
The echo of his voice had scarcely died
away before the Spanish Ministry resigned,
and Calhoun, sent to Cuba by Mckinley, has
returned with recommendation that the war
there be stopped at all hazards.
Up to date Wellington is still for Weyler,
and the Sun is standing by Wellington.
