SIXTH WARD BOULEVARD.
Favorable Report on the PreIfrn-
mary Order.

The board Of public works had before
1t. yesterday afternoon, a score or more
or property owners along the line of
the proposed Prospect terrace or park
way on the West side bluff There are
fifty owners Of the land which is to be
taken for the parkway, and, while
there Is no objection to the improve
ment, this is only because, as yet, the
question of benefits and damages has
not been considered The board lis
tened to the opinions of a number Of
those whose land will be taken for the
parkway. and, with one exception
there was no objection, provided that
the question Of damages for the land
taken was satisfactory. The plan pro-
posed will be slightly changed by the
board of public works for the reason
that it would require a considera BILE
sum of money to purchase the land in
the vicinity of Ethel and Delos streets
for an outlet, and the board will rec
ommend that the preliminary order be
changed so as to have the parkway
run on Bellows street from Delos to
Isabel streets. The one objector to the
boulevard present at the meeting yes
terday was George Michaels, who has a.
$4,000 residence erected on the line Of
the parkway. Mr. Michaels stated that
the proposed parkway would take
a few feet Of his doorway. He was
willing, however. to make no opposi-
ton, providing he was paid for the
damage done to his property The board
decided to recommend a favorable re-
port on the preliminary order, and ask
the council for a final order. Pending
this. the board will have a plat made
of the property to be taken. will lay out
an assessment district. and then call
in the owners. The total cost Of the
improvement will be $40, 900, about half
Of which will be assessed on the prop
erty owners in the Sixth ward. AS to
how far the assessment district will
extend is a question which the board
will decide at some future date.
The matter Of the paving of East
Seventh street from the railroad bridge
to Hope street was adjourned yester-
day for four weeks
The paving of Kent, Wacouta and
Eighth streets will be considered by
the board Thursday afternoon. and the
paving Of Nelson avenue and Broad
way next Monday.

The programmes were In keeping

revel. The promenade programme
started deCOrOuSly enough with a
march from "Gayest Manhattan" A
medley overture by Boyer was starred
as a good thing. Victor Herbert's
waltz, starlight" a selection from
Milk White Flag" a two-step from
"El Captain" and Whitmark's ''Zenda"

pace for the grand march.
But when it came down to the real
dance programme those who planned
the party took occa sion to pay tribute
to the patrons of the show, and these

Although the rushes down the stairs

Of fOrgetfulness not even tolerated in

WHY NOT ENFORCE 1T.
Demand That the Smoke Ordinance
Receive Attention.

The owners and those having charge
of a number of the larger buildings in
the city, who have been to the expense
of putting on smoke consumers, are up
in arms that the city authorities do not
enforce the ordinance without fear or
favor. Chief Goss says that the police
department. cannot act in the matter
as the ordinance as amended SO as to
remedy the defects recently pointed out
by the supreme court has not been
adopted by both branches of the city
council. Assistant Corporation Attorney
Phillips, questioned about the ordinance
last evening, said that the ordinance
was now valid and enforcible, and there
was no reason why those violatin its
provisions should not be legally proceed
ed against. The following Is a COPY Of
a communication which has been for
warded to the city council asking for the
enforcement of the ordinance:
To the Honorable. the Common Council OF the
City Of ST. Paul:
citizens of st. Paul, having complied with
Ordinances Nos. 1874 and 1851 for the sup
preston OF dense smoke and the abatement
OF the smoke nuisance, beg leave to represent
that this scourge still extensively prevails
owing to the neglect or refusal Of a large
number of the owners and lessees Of similar
plants to comply with the said ordinances
Your petitioners further represent that the
negligence or refusal complained of Is a
great injustice to your petitioners as law
abiding citizens, well as to the people at
large, by reason Of the great injury done to
their goods, furniture, books papers and
other valuables that are everywhere exposed
to the destructive influence of what the ordi-
nances declare to be a nuisance, subjecting
its authors to fine or imprisonment while
It Is also regarded as prejudicial to the
health Of the community at large.
wherefore your petitioners respectfully urge
the city authorities to take prompt and effec-
tive steps for the rigid enforcement of laws
equally binding upon all citizens, without re-
spect to persons classes.

FRANKLIN SCHOOL UNION.
Address on ''InHuence of Surround

The interest manifested in the meet

evidenced by the large attendance at
the second meeting of the organization

Indication to the members that the

instructed his auditors upon the es-
sentials for the work of ideal charac-

The formation of character, the
speaker said, was of supreme import
ance and the surroundings amid which
character shaping was carried on were
of great potency in the end desired
Mr.. COnley negated the. Inference that
people were wholly the creatures Of
circumstances and pointed out illustra-
tiOns of great men who had attained
the highest development Of noble char
acter under the most adverse condi-
ton, but environment, physical nature
and training were powerful factors in
every life. The strong triumphed over
adverse conditions, but, said the speak
er many a young life, full of promise,
had been utterly swallowed up and
lost because of unpropitious surround
ings. In general FIR children Mr. Con-
ley advocated ventilated school rooms,
with plenty of sunshine, regular hours
and social customs which would not
keep the young under excitement
Plenty of outdoor play was also a re-
Quisite, and the speaker strongly advo-
Gated the old time idea of recess for
children during school hours. Then,

he and the boys mother have tried to keep
him from wrong doing without success. The
boy would sooner steal than work, despite
all they would do for him. Mr.. Hoshaw says
he has tried to do his duty as a father to the
boy and anything he has done now was with
the hope of reforming him.

Naval Cipher Most COmplex.
The naval cipher is one of the most COM
plex in the world. The messages come in
words of strange formation, taken from all
languages. These words are turned by the
translating clerks into groups of figures,
and these in turn, are resolved into their
equivalent words in English. All this takes
time.
Meanwhile, Secretary Alger, hearing of
the receipt of news. had come over from
but he also was obliged to wait patiently
for the translation. Senator Hoar, MEM
ber of the foreign relations committee. also
Joined Secretary Long and waited upon the
cable experts.
About 10 o'clock Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt, in the kindness of his heart, and,
as he expressed it, as perhaps the last
favor he would be able to bestow on the
newspaper men, came to their relief and
gave them a short abstract Of the cable
gram so far as unraveled. This only whet-
ted the interest of the crowd in waiting.
Half an hour later Secretary Long ap-
peared with a copy of the translated cipher
in his hand. There was a great rush to-
ward him, but the secretary good-natured-
, ly made allowance for the excitement of the
crowd and smilingly read from the corner
of the room into which he had been forced
the following cablegram:
Dewey's First Dispatch.
Manila, May 1.-Squadron arrived at
Manila at daybreak this morning. Imme-
diately engaged the enemy and destroyed
the following Spanish vessels: Reina
Cristina, Castillo, Don Antonio de Ulloa,
Isla de Luzon, 1sla de Cuba, General Lezo
Marquis de Duero. Correo. Velasco. 1sla
de Mirdanao. a transport, and water bat
terry at Cavite. The squadron is uninjured
and only few men are slightly wounded
Only means of telegraphing is to American
consul at Hong Kong 1 shall communicate

1t was Immediately noticed that the cable
gram, as officially promulgated. did not en-
tirely agree with the brief summary of its
points which had been previously given out
and the immediate presumption was that
in the short time accorded for considera.
ton, the officials had concluded that It was
public policy to expurgate the dispatch.
! Some of Dispatch Suppressed
Thus, as made public, it contained no ref
/ erence to the cutting of the cable by Ad.
miral Dewey; to the fact that he lacked
men to take possession of the place: and
finally. that he had the entire bay of Manila
at his mercy.
It was also noticed that the dispatch bore
date of May l. The McCulloch could no,
have occupied six days in making the

WASHINGTON is AMAZED.
At n Loss to Account for the "One'
sidedness" of the Battle

of Manila.
Washington, May 7.-At the embassies
AMI legations. Commodore Dewey's reports
were read with greatest interest and served
| to renew the high tributes of the foreign
authorities as to the gallant American
commodore.
The remarkable disparity between the
casualties of the American and Spanish
ships. as shown by the Dewey reports, was
source of special comment, and the mil
itary attache of one of the embassies said
such a disparity probably was without a
parallel in history. How the Spaniards
could have lost $50 killed and $50 wounded.
while the American loss was confined to a
few men Slightly injured, is regarded by
the foreign observers as clearly disclosing
the utter worthlessness of Spanish armA
The ambassador of one of the great pow
ers said it showed that the guns Of the
Spanish forts, as well as those on their
ships, were worthless; otherwise. they
would have inflicted at least some mortal
ity upon the American sailors.
1T recalls Solferino." said he. "At that
time France and Austria were at war, but
the range of the French guns was longer
than that of the Austrians. That brought
| them together on unequal terms. and the
simple difference in the length of the range
of the French guns determined the out
come of that battle. So 1t was with Dewey.
the modern strength and destructiveness.
while the Spanish guns were antiquated,
and were guns only in name. 1t serves to
show that, in the warfare of to-day, ma
tion must have weapons Of the most mod
ern pattern. else it is at a terrible dsad-
vantage and its men are practically at the
, mercy of an enemy having all the latest
appliances Of destructive warfare. 1t is the
lesson of Solferino over again, and this time
Spain learns it,
1t was thought the British embassy would
receive advices, but none came. The
French. German and other foreign estab-
lshments were also lacking in direct adj
vices. ...
In all foreign quarters much concern was
the temper of the people of Madrid. It was
believed it would add fuel to the flame al
| ready existing there, and that little more
was needed to overthrow the government.
The officials of the navy department as
we'll as all the army officials who were on
duty in the war department were simply
amazed at the extern of the mortality in
| tiicted upon the Spanish by Admiral Dewey.
for from the moment when Secretary Long
sent his dispatches of congratulation the
commodore became an admiral.
Officers scratched their heads in vain to
| think Of any genuine hostile engagement
between armed forces that had been so
one-sided in its results as the battle of
Manila and the subsequent engagements.
Never before, save where some terrible
accident, such as the blowing up of a
ship, had occurred. was there any record Of
such q result.
! The opinion was expressed by strategists
