lost her position as the leading power
in Europe t2) Russia has taken her
place; CD the triple alliance has al
most ceased to exist; CD France has

There are 10 mountains in Colorado
whose peaks are over 1900 feet above
the ocean level. Forty of these are
higher than 1900 feet. and more than
half Of that number are so remote and
rugged that no one has dared TO at
tempt TO climb them. Some of them
are massed with snow, others have
glaciers over their approaches, and
others are merely masses of jagged
rocks.

street Opening Committee Has Not

Inc hnance committee of Council decided

committee, as it is now believed enough
OF the appropriations remains 10 carry out
some Of the plans it is desired 10 complete

Alderman Charlton, chairman of the
street opening committee, has cOntended
an along that the appropriation had not
Deeh oVerdrawn as lntmated at recent
meeting of Council by Alderman Wen and
others.
Inc real cause for bringing the matter
up however, seems 10 have been on ac-
count OF the food of resolutions introduce
ed az one time by Alderman Charlton, au-
thorlzing the purchase Of lands al so much
d 1901, without giving the actual amount
the CITY would be called upon to pay. This
gave rise to the suspicion the committee
was going beyond its bounds, and the
bringing up OF the matter is to be con-
slfued more as a precautionary measure,
It Is stated, than expressing the belief the
funds We're exhausted.

there is some doubt about what report

There are several considerations which
should be looked to, said one of the com
mlttee. If Mr.. Russell holds a valid claim
against the city and has been Slow in
collecting by reason of having no imme-
date demand for the money. it would be
UNJUST to plead the statute under such
circumstances. But if the property was
given the city in order that streets might
be opened in that section and property
values consequently enhanced then the
claim could not he forcibly pressed The
city feels no inclination to acquire any
thing, however, without paying a Just

INSPECTED DRAYToN STREET.
Few Defects Found in the New As

pnhII Pavement.
1t will not be a great while before the
Drayton street pavement viii have been
either accepted or rejected. Public Works
Commissioner Willink and Alderman T. j.
Davis went over it yesterday morning, but
it is understood they found only a few
flaws.
First the street was sprinkled in order
that better idea might be had of it in
number of respects. 1t was then closely
inspected. But few objections were found.
the officials being well pleased.
Anything in the way of an estimate of
the probable cost cannot be made for
some time yet. There are scores Of cal
culations TO be made before anything like
a correct idea can be formed. An ordi-
nance will then be passed empowering the
city treasurer TO collect such amounts as
are found due from abutting property
owners. The matter leaves Commission
er Willinks hands, so far as accepting the
street is concerned, after he submits to
the board a statement Of the total cost
and all other data pertaining 10 what in
dividual property owners will be expected
to pay.
EIOlH the present OUTLOOK, however, II
appears that those liable may be nerving
themselves up for about 50 a front foot
Estimating the total cost of the paving at
$4,000, to which is added an amount suffi-
Client to cover the cost of changing the
sidewalks, constructing catch basins and
other necessary work, this is about the cost
taking the frontage OH both sides of the
street from Bay to Anderson as 1900 feet.
Of the total cost the city pays one-third
and becomes a property at all street
intersections and public propert~ The es-
timated cost q front foot Is in proportion
TO that on Bryan street, which was about
$3.50. The heaviest cost to the taxpayers
yet for paving, however was Liberty
street, at $5.66 a foot while that of the
other newly paved streets ranges differ
emily. Oglethorpe avenue was $5.Q; Con-
gress street, 81; President street. S3.22;
Habersham street (brick), $2.13, and the
Louisville road e inches rock and inches
cherO $l.9O.
The city has already paid the Southern
Asphalt Company $4,000 on the Drayton
street work, and is to pay the remainder
within ninety days after the work is ac-
cepted. Notices will be sent property
owners with a statement of the amounts
due from them as soon as Council acts on
the matter 1t Is stated property owners
will be expected to settle within about
thirty days after receiving notice, as the
city Is bound to meet its contract and re-
lies on them to put up their share of the
debt
After Drayton street Is accepted the as
phalt company will execute a maintenance
bond to keep all paved streets in good re-
pair for period of five years.

JUDGE SPEER COMING,

May he Here Tomorrow for Purpose
of Taking Up the AduIa Case.
Judge Emory Speer of the United States
Court is expected in the city tomorrow
for the purpose of taking up the libel in
the case of the British steamship Adula,
which will be disposed of as soon as posi-
bic.
Judge Speer stated, some time ago, that
he would come to Savannah whenever his
presence was needed in the case, and Dis
trict Attorney Marion Erwin wired him
yesterday that he would be ready 10 pro-
coed with the case on Wednesday.
The prize commissioners have about COM
pleted their work and are ready to turn
all the matter in their hands over 10 the
court. They completed yesterday The
work of taking the dispositions de bene
esse, of the members of the prize crew,
all of whom have now been sent back to
the cruiser Marblehead. This testimony
will be used when the case comes before
the court. The owners have not yet filed
their answer to the libel, but will prob
ably do so within a day or two. 1t is not
known whether Judge Speer viii attend to
any other court business here or not.
