Water Costly for St. Cloud.

Special to the Globe.
ST. CLOUD, Jan. "a movement was set
on foot in the city council last night to at
tempt to secure reduction of hydrant rental
from the water, light and power company.
In case the company refuses to amend its
contract it is likely that an attempt will
be made in the courts to annul the contract
upon the ground that the rental is exhor-
bitant and not advantageous to the city An
other point likely to be- raised is that the
council that made the contract had no right
to bind the discretion Of future councils in
the manner itdid in the contract. The con-
tract runs for thirty years, and the annual
rental amounts to IS, $50. A similar proceed
ing has been brought by Little Falls and is
now in the courts

RHODES CONDEMNED
For the Defiant Attitude Which He
Has Assumed.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-Later reports received
here in regard to the banquet recently gwen
at Cape Town, to Col. Cecil Rhodes, ex-
premier of Cape Colony. show that it resulted
in scene of notable enthusiasm. The text
of the speech in which Col. Rhodes asserted
that the paramount idea is expansion. that
the worlds surface is limited, and that, there
fore, the best policy is to take as much of
that surface as you possibly can, has created
a sensation in London, where even his best
friends regard the proceedings of Col. Rhodes
with misgiving and fear that he is infaming
passions which will lead to further troubles.
Those interested in South Africa generally
condemn the defiant attitude which Col
Rhodes seems to have assumed instead of CO.
operating with the government and undoing
the mischief resulting from the raid into
the Transvaal.

suffered neither theft-nor injury. II
