VETO A CERTAINTY
Mayor Hoos Will Insist on
Changes in the Water
Specifications.
WILL WAIT THE TEN DAY LIMIT
Resolutions Filed With Him To-
day-No Intimation as to What
His Ideas Are.

Martin Finck, clerk of the Board OF
Finanees at noon filed with Mayor Hoos
the resolution book of the Board. 1t con-
tains the concurrent resolution OF the
Board approving the new water plans ana
specifications, and authorizing the adver-
tisement for bids. AS exclusively told IN
.'The News" yesterday, Mayor Hoos will
not approve the concurrent resolution
Since the water specifications and plans
were adopted by the Street and Water
Commissioners, the Mayor has had out
side engineers look over them. Some sug-
gestions were made by them, which Hrs
Honor believes will improve the docu-
ments and better protect the city's inter-
ests
Just what changes the Mayor proposes
insisting upon are not known, nor will he
intimate what they are to be. The Mayor
will take the ten days allowed him in
which to consider the concurrent resolu-
tion. In the meantime he will have pre-
pared letters for the Finance and Street
and Water Commissioners, setting forth
clearly his objections to the pending speci-
feations, and defining what changes must
be made before he will consent to pro-
pOsalS being advertised for.
This little hitch will postpone the re-
ception of bids more than a month.
It is expected, however, that when bios
are received, contract, will be entered
into without any more delay.
The Street and Water and Finance
Commissioners WILL it is believed, Work
together harmoniously.

its head to stop dead, and refuses to

did in Holborn recently, and 1t had to
be dragged by main force into SIDE
street. do not envy the police their
work in regulating the city traffic If
motor cars come to.a standstill, take
t jibbing, or bolt. The horse is usually
manageable If he strikes work. the po-
liceman can at least pat him, and coax
him with bit of sugar; and II he bolts
he can fly to his head (at the risk Of
his own life) and bring him to stand
Still. But what can he do with runa-
way motor car? The other day the
driver of one of these vehicles was
found to be drunk. Suppose he had been
too drunk to turn off the power, or SO
tipsy that he fell off the car? The We
hicle would presumably have gone ca
reering about London for hours-a very
Juggernaut for destruction-its path
strewn with lamp-pests, pedestrians.

it was itself upset; in which case we
suspect that it would proceed on it's side
or back, or would work like a stationary
steam engine, so long as there was a
volt of energy left in its accumulation.

sIR WILPRID COMING.
Cahaaa.s Premier Expected In Wash
turfou IN the Seal Matter.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s. 1S97.-The Rus
so-Japanese-Amer1can treaty relating to
Bering Sea was not signed today, the
statement being made by officials that the
formalities were not yet completed.
When the conference adjourned last
Monday it was with the understanding
that all prelminaries would be arranged
by today, and the treaty signed. But the
issuance of powers as ENJOYS is taking
more time than was anticipated, and the
signing has been deferred, it being stated
that it will occur in few days.
The meeting between the British and
American experts looks more promising
The State Department is expecting sir
Wilfrid Laurier, Premier of Canada, ana
Mr. Davies, Minister of Marine IN the
Laurier Cabinet, the early part OF next
week With them will come Prof. Ma
coun, the seal expert designated by the
British Foreign Office to confer with the
authorities here. Although Prof. Macoun
will hold the only credentials as dele
gate, yet the presence of the Canadian
Premier and member of his Cabinet IS
expected to have an important bearing
on the Bering Sea question, as Well as
that of commercial reciprocity between
the United States and Canada.
