A LITTLE UNPLEASANTNESS.

London, May 1.-The Vienna CORE
spondent of the Sunday Special tells
tall story to the effect that Emperor
William left Dresden last Saturday
after a disagreement with Emperor
Francis Joseph, arising from a heated
discussion held in the afternoon rela-
tive to the Spanish American war in
which the Austrian Emperor vainly
tried to convince the Kaiser that it was
his duty and interest to assume if not
an unfriendly attitude toward the Uni
ted States. more friendly neutrality
toward Spain. Emperor William reit-
Grated the German interests. He point
ed to a policy of strict neutrality and
the retention Of the good will of the
mighty republic.
Emperor Francis Joseph was much
hurt by the Emperor's impulsive Ian
5uage and plainly showed his displeas-
ure at the banquet given in the even
ing, the situation growing SO unpleas-
ant that Emperor William took his de-
parture before the close of the ban
quet.

Mexico City, May 1.-The govern

to observe, in act and conversation. en-
tire neutrality regarding the American
Spanish war. The masses of the peo-
pie are undoubtedly for Cuba, but the
Liberal party papers are for Spain, and
it it suspected that Spanish influence
is actuating their policy, so distinct
from the Liberal party leaders. The
clerical papers are naturally hostile to
the United States.

only the signature of the Mayor to

benefits to come from municipal owner

will do much to prepare the way for a
proper solution Of the lighting problem

'The lighting companies Of Chicago.

treated the public most shnmefully.
They secured franchises upon the ex.
press stipulation that they would not
combine, but would compete with one
another. They proceeded, however. to
form n trust In violation Of the law.
and then. to avoid embarrassment. had
the Tanner Legislature pass IN act
legalixing their status. More than that,
they had the Legislature pass another
act making any further competition
with them practically impossible. Just
before these laws went into effect an
offer was made by responsible persons
to furnish light upon terms much more
favorable TO consumers and the city
than the trust maintains. The agents
Of the trust prevented the passage Of
the ordinance.
Evidently the only relief from the
situation Is In extending the functions
Of the municipality. The city has a
municipal electric lighting plant. which
the Mayor and Council. very wisely,
have taken steps to enlarge. Upon Sc.
curing the proper authority from the
Legislature the city plant could be still
further enlarged and used In furnish.
