CARLIST UPRISING.
Promised as Soon Treaty. of
Peace Is Signed

London. Nov 1.-THE Madrid CORE
spOndent Of the Daily Mail says: a
leading Carlist tells me he will be as
tonished if n formidable rising does
not occur in Spain within Il month at
ter the peace treaty is signed. The
Carlists have abundant supplies Of
money, and my informant says that
only something splendid or unexpected
can prevent a rising. This appears to
agree with the news that Don Carlos
has succeeded in raising an important
loan in London and Paris, and that
wealthy Carlist families are insuring
their property against war risks. |
questioned a prominent official at the
Spanish war office on the subject, and
he told me he was well aware OF the
Carlist activity, but that the govern
ment was even more ready than the
CarlistS.

Regarding the Philippines.

Madrid, Nov. 17.-According to semi
official statements here the Spanish
peace commissioners will maintain
their present attitude in regard to the

they have decided not to sign IA treaty

SPAIN MUST COME DOWN.
Important Instructions Given the
American commissioners.

American commissioners
Washington, Nov. 16. - Chairman
Day and his colleagues will present
note to the Spanish commissioners on
Wednesday peremptorially demanding
the REIMBURSEMENT by Spain of sOver-
eighty over the Philippines. This note
will not be in form of an ultimatum,
nor is it intended as such, but the ad-
ministration is tired of Spanish pro-
crastination, and intends that the mat
ter shall be settled promptly. 1t was
learned definitely that the instructions
which were sent to the peace commits
soners on Saturday last were very en-
rhatic in declaring that there should
be no further discussion Of the ques-
ton of the right Of the United States
TO take the Philippine islands. but that
Spain should finally announce whether
or not she would agree to the Ameri-
can demand to cede the archipelago.
The instructions are intended to
strengthen the hand of the American
commissioners in pressing their de-
mand upon Senor Rios and his asso-
ciates.

SAYS IT CANNOT PASS
MAYOR PETIT TALKS ON TIE M.
r. AND x. ORDINANCE.
A DIVISION OF THE PROFITS,
Such a Scheme May be Reported Favor
able by the Communicable Work Yet
Done On the New
Ordinance.

Mayor Petit was interviewed this
morning by the NEWS reporter in re-
gard to the dCings of the committee
lately appointed to consider the railway
ordinance proposed by the NJ, R. q K.
company, and in this interview he
stated that the committee had not yet
yet been together and it would be some
time before any action was taken. The
members got together few evenings
ago and discussed the matter, but it
was the unanimous opinion that the
ordinance in it's present state would
never be passed by any City Council in
KenOsha.
Continuing, Mr.. Petit stated that
some consideration must be given the
city and the city's interest before any
franchise would be given. A new or
dinance will be drafted, but it is not
thought that it would be acceptable to
the company. The committee, or at
least majority of them, are not will
ing to allow any company to build a
through line to the city without more
concessions than the M, r. u K. peo-
pie offer. They must build the entire
local and through line proposed or they
must build none of it. The same
time must be stipulated for building
in all parts of the city.
The committee also discussed the
feasibility of granting franchise on
the grounds of the division Of the gross
earnings. Under such plan the
Mayor stated that franchise would be
granted for fifty years, the time to be
divided into five periods OF ten years
each. The first period the company
was to have the privilege of laying
their lines and operating their cars
free, but after this period,they were to
pay stipulated per cent. Of their gross
earnings, and this amount was to in
crease as the business of the company
increased. Such a scheme as this is in
operation in many Of the larger cities
and seems GO have gone long way
toward regulating the granting of
franchises and has as well turned con-
siderable revenue into the Golfers of the
cities. There is a diversity of opinion
as to whether such a scheme would
pay in city of Kenosha's size or not,
and it almost certain that the M, R. &
and K. would refuse to accept such
proposition, even if the committee
would decide to make such an offer.
No work has as yet been done on
any new ordinance and no work is con-
templated until the ctmpany's mana
gers and the members of the committee
can get together and find out just
where both sides stand.

Course of entertainments.

The Slayton Lyceum Bureau are
placing a very excellent course of en-
tertainments for Kenosha during the
season of 1889.
There will be five entertainments in
the series as follows: Marc, the Ma
gician; John Temple Graves, of Geor-
gia, the eminent lecturer, subject:
" The Reign of the Demagogue." The
Mozart Symphony Club, of New York.
The Wagner Male Quartette Concert
Company, and Patriotic, the celebrated
Italian pianist.
The course is conditioned on secur-
ing. subscriptions of $500 to cover the
cost of the talent. If the required
amount is subscribed for by July 22d
the entertainments will be given, in
which case the course will open about
October 1st, 1898.
Subscriptions are not payable till
Sept. 26. The price is as low as the
poorest shows that visit KenOsha and
are certainly deserving of success.

Philip King, of Washington, who has

years, has again been engaged to fill
the position. King announced his in
tentiou last fall at the close OF the
season to give up football and give his
time to business, but after most ur-
gent invitation from Wisconsin to re-
turn he has written the board of ath-
letic control that he will be on hand
for the opening of the season. King
has been popular with the football
athletes of Wisconsin, having landed
the western championship for the Bad
ger team two years in succession with
his Princeton methods. His return
will do much to inspire confidence and
assist in bringing the players together
early in the season.

The city of Kenosha expended

$277.76 was spent for apparatus and
library; $4,000 for male teachers:
$11,154.15 for female teachers, and
So, 1859 for other expenses. There
still remains on hand over $4,000,
which will be used for the erection of a

Peat Bog Fuel In Germany,

or some $4,000 square miles, and the
proposition has been made to erect a
10000 horse power electric plant in the
district, which would consume annually
some 200, 900 tons of peat, equivalent to
the amount yielded by 200 acres. One
acre of bog averaging ten feet in thick
ness contains about 1000 tons of dried
peat, and the amount produced by 430
square miles would afford as much
heating power as the 100000 tons Of
coal mined annually in Germany.
