down. but the general impression among
army officers is that when the peace COM
mission concludes it's labors and the United
States holds the Philippines. United States
troops will have serious trouble with the
natives. which will mean long and tedious
warfare, as the natives Will resort TO bush
whackins. The natives however, through
Asuinaldo. profess great friendship for the
United States. but such professions are
looked upon with suspicion. Admiral Dew

not only unreliable. bu; treacherous. and no
confidence can be placed IN any Of his
statements.
The present condition OF affairs in the
Philippines is somewhat peculiar The
Americans collect customs for the port of

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN
TALKS ABOUT FRANCE.
Recites a Series of Unfriendiy Acts
Towards England in All Guar
ters of the Globe.

MANCHESTER. Nov. l5.--At the ma
tional Liberal Unionists' conference here
today Joseph Chamberlain. secretary Of
state for the colonies, made his first pub
lie speech since his return from the United
States
Mr.. Chamberlain. who was much more
explicit on the subject OF Anglo-French
relations than any Of his colleagues In the
cabAet had been, said it was .he hope OF
every friend OF peace that the French
withdrawal from Fashoda is indicative OF
their acceptance OF the principle Of Brit
ish control OF The whole valley of the Nile,
regarding which there cannot be any dis
cussion whatever.
Going on to recits "a series Of unfrienily
acts perpetrated by France in other quar-
ters OF the globe during the last ten or
fifteen years" he said.

been TO embarrass the British policies in

The council committee on fire de-
partment met last night. Bills aggre-
eating 1855 4S were audited and recon-
mended for payment. The petition Of
Samuel Gibbons, a fireman at the
Eighth ward house, for the payment OF
his salary for the term OF his recent
sickness, which he claims was caused
by exposure at fire, was considered
by the committee. The sentiment OF the
majority was that Il would be setting
a bad precedent to act favorably on
this petition, even IL the case was one
that would attract favor, for in that
event there would be no end to similar
applications, and every case Of sickness
In the department would be caused by
"exposure at a fire." Mr.. Marschner
moved that the petition be granted, and
spoke Of the case being one deserving
consideration. The motion was de-
feated.
In this connection there was a gene
eral inquiry from committeeman as TO
what had become OF the firemen'S FUND,
OF which Chief Klieves was said to be
the custodian. The committee had no
official information on the subject, the
fund having been secured through the
firemen themselves. II was suggested
that the Gibbons case should be reach
ed by this fund. After some discussion
special subcommittee OF four.
Messrs. Baird, Marschner, Gartley and
Meyer, was appointed. TO meet Chief
Klieves this evening, at o'clock, and
ascertain from him Information re!a-
tive to the fremdn's fund. and ask him
to extend relief in Gibbons case.
The committee decided-to meet again
on Monday. December &c. to audit the
bills for the new chemical equipment,
which will be received before that time.
The committee Will go through the year
leaving q debt Of only $l29 to its sue
cessor Of the new council. But for the
macy that was taken from what the
coS,nittee reasonably expected last
sprsfg by the finance committee and the
buying OF the chemicals there would
have been considerable balance left
over.

FInance Committee.

The council finance committee met
last evening. and made its settlement
with City Collector James X. Hall, for
the 1897 taxes. The amount OF 1897
taxes charged up to the collector was
Sl4 $40 30; amount OF 1897 taxes COL
Iected, 1884, %: delinquent taxes COLI
iected, S11, $50 IL: total collections, $780,
$50 IS, being S2.059 Sc IN excess OF the
amount Of taxes assessed for the year.
This was considered an excellent show
ing, in fact. the best showing ever
made for the collectors office, and is
due largely to the energetic measures
taken recently for the collection OF de-
lInQuent taxes on real estate. The
committee also checked bonds OF the
city that had been redeemed.
