PAYMENT Withheld.

At meeting of the City Council
held last week it was decided to
hold back payment of $1,000
which was to have been made to
the Consolidated Engineering Com
pany. This step was taken by the
council because of the unsatisfac-
tory work done by the boilers at
the power-house. Much trouble
has already been caused by the
boilers and at no time did they give
satisfaction. When the plant was
accepted it was with certain condi-
tons, one of which related to the
boilers. The boilers, it appears,
consume too much coal which is
the main objection to them. The
Council has acted wisely in with
holding the payment from the Con-
solidated Engineering Company.
The services of reliable. engi-
neer will be secured and the Coun-
Gil will try to ascertain the cause of
she trouble.

GUARANTY OF. NEUTRALITY.
Amendment to, the Nicaragua Canal Bill
to- BE Introduced.

Amendment to, the Nicaragua Canal Bill
to- he Introduced.
NEW YoRK, Dec. S.-A special from
Washington says: The senate commit
tee on the Nicaragua canal will add to
the canal bill now pending provision
intended to bring about a treaty with
Great Britain for Joint guaranty of
the neutrality of the canal. This prDvi-
sion, is embodied in an amendment
which has been prepared by Senator
Harris of Kansas. who is one OF the
closest students of the problems relating
to the construction of the canal, as well
as one of the most earnest supporters OF
the canal m congress.
The Harris amendment will authorize
the president to" negotiate a treaty
agreement with Great Britain for joint
guaranty of the permanent neutrality OF
the canal. 1t isdesigned to meet the
English objections that the plans of con,
gress far American construction and
control fly in the teeth. of the expressed
terms af the Clayton-Bnlwer treaty.
