MAY ADOPT NEW LIGHT.
COUNCIL RECEIVES A PROPOSITION
FROM PHllADELPHlANS.
kitson Light Company Makes an Offer
to Furnish Forty Lights at $4,000 per
Annum-Other Business Transacted at
Monday Evenings Session.


The December meeting of the borough
council attracted hundreds of people OF
town to the meeting place, and not one
half of the number who sought admis-
sion could be accommodated. There
seemed to be an idea that the difficulty
between Burgess Gallagher and Council
men DePerro and Rudewick would be
reopened, and with the expectation of
witnessing lively meeting crowds flock
ed to the borough building.
The most important matter which
came before the body was new prop
osition on the light question. Chair
man Daniel Kline, of this committee,
stated that he had sent out circulars to
about 25o towns, asking the price paid
for light, etc, and that he had received
numerous answers and would ask coun-
ell to meet at an early date to consider
the same.
He also stated that he had communi-
Gated with the Kitson Light Company,
of Philadelphia, and the Welsbach Com
pany, and introduced to council Mr..
Ober, an agent OF the former.
Mr.. Ober stated that the Kitson light
was vapor oil light. Hs claimed it
to be the simplest and safest light on
the market, and will cast its rays farther
than any other light. Lamps are of
l,000 candle-power. On three-years'
contract he will furnish forty lights at
S75 each per year, SO, 900 per annum.
1t was decided to meet Mr.. Ober on
Monday evening.
One of the lights was exhibited on
Monday evening in front of the Central
hotel and on Tuesday evening on John
son street. Opinions differ on the ques
ton as to whether it is as good as an
arc electric light.
Next to the light question, the only
other important subject taken up was
the charge preferred against officer
James p. McNelis. President DePierro
vacated the chair, placing Mr.. Kline
therein, and stated that he had brought
charges against Mr.. McNelis at the
November meeting and asked that the
same be taken up.
Councilman Smith took the position
that there are rules laid down for the
guidance of the councilmen and police
and offered a motion that the police
committee OF council, the burgess and
chief of police meet and investigate the
charges and report at the next meeting.
Much to the chagrin of many of the
spectators, the motion carried.
Solicitor Stroh spoke about the prog
ress being made with the trustees of the
X. of L., relative to the transfer of the
lots at Centre and Walnut streets. He
stated that he had drawn deed for the
same, covering the conditions named by
the trustees, and that it was now in the
hands of their attorney and would no
doubt be returned soon.

At this juncture, on the 18th of Febru-
ary last occurred the destruction of the
battleship Maine while rightfully lying
in the harbor of Havana on a mission
of international courtesy and good will
"a catastrophe the suspicious nature
and horror of which stirred the nations
heart profoundly Yet the instinct of
justice prevailed and the nation anX-
iously awaited the result of the search
ing investigation at once set on foot.
The finding of the naval board of in
quiry established that the origin of the
explosion was external. by a submarine
mine, and only halted through lack of
positive testimony to fix the RESPONSE
blity OF it's authorship.
All these things carried conviction to
the most thoughtful, even before the
finding of the naval court, that crisis
in cur relations with Spain and toward
Cuba was at hand. So strong was this
belief that 1t needed but a brief exec
utive suggestion to the congress to re.
ceive immediate answer to the duty of
making instant provision for the possi-
BILE and perhaps probable emergency of
war and the remarkable, almost UNIQUE
spectacle was presented of a unanimous
vote Of both houses on the 9th of March
approprating $50, 10000 "for the ma
tional defense and for each and every
purpose connected Herewith to be ex-
pended at the discretion of the presi-
dent"
That this act of provision came nom
too soon was disclosed when the appli-
cation of the fund was undertaken.
Our coasts were practically undefend-
ed. Our navy needed large provision
for increased ammunition and supplies
and even numbers to cope with any
sudden attack from the navy of Spain

To the Senate and House of Represent
atives:
Notwithstanding the added burdens
rendered necessary by the war our peo-
pie rejoice in a very satisfactory and
steadily increasing degree of prosperity,
evidenced by the largest volume of bust
ness ever recorded. Manufacture has
been productive, agricultural pursuits
have yielded abundant returns, labor in
all fields of industry is better rewarded,
revenue legislation passed by the pres
ent congress has increased the treasu-
ry's receipts to the amount estimated
by its authors, the finances of the gov
ernment have been successfully admin
istered and it's credit advanced to the
first rank. while its currency has been
maintained at the world s highest stand
ard. Military service under a common
flag and for a righteous cause has
strengthened the national spirit and
served to cement more closely than
ever the fraternal bonds between every
section of the country.
A review Of the relation of the United
States to other powers, always appro-
pirate, is this year of primary impor
tance in view of the momentous issues
which have arisen, demanding in one
instance the ultimate determination by
arms and involving farreaching conse
quences, which will require the earnest
attention of the congress.
In my last annual message very full
consideration was given to the ques-
ton of the duty of the government of
the United States toward Spain and the
Cuban insurrection as being by far the
most important problem with which we
have been called upon to deal. The con-
siderations then advanced and the eX-
position of the views therein expressed
disclosed my sense of the extreme grav-
ity of the situation.

Spnin's Due.

Setting aside as logically unfounded
or practically inadmissible the recog-
milton of the Cuban insurgents as bel
ligerents, the recognition of the inde-
pendence of Cuba, neutral intervention
to end the war by imposing a rational
compromise between the contestants,
intervention in favor of one or the
other party and forcible annexation
of the island l concluded ii was
honestly due to our friendly relations
with Spain that she should be given a
tations of reform, to which she had be-
come frrevocably committed. Within a
few weeks previously she had an
nounced comprehensive plans which it
was confidently asserted would be effica-
cious to remedy the evils so deeply af-
fecting our own country, so injurious to
the true interests of the mother coun-
try as well as to those of Cuba, and so
repugnant to the universal sentiment
of humanity.
The ensuing month brought little sign
of real progress toward the pacification
of Cuba. The autonomous administra-
tion set up in the capital and some of
the principal cities appeared not to gain
the favor of the inhabitants nor to be
able to extend their influence to the
large extent of territory held by the in
surgents, while the military arm, OBJ
viously unable to cope with the still
active rebellion, continued many of the
most Objectionable and offensive poll
cies of the government that had preced-
ed it. The war continued on the old
footing without comprehensive plan,
developing only the same spasmodic en-
counters, barren of strategic result,
that had marked the course of the ear
lier ten years rebellion as we'll as the
present insurrection from its start. No
alternative save physical exhaustion OF
either combatant and therewithal the
practical ruin of the island lay in sight,
but how far distant no one could ven
ture to conjecture.
