DISCUSSION.

We have eliminated from the consider
alton of this case every question except
the validity of the ordinance of June .,
1898. Counsel for plaintiff introduced owl
dence as to the improper advertising of
the ordinance and as to the agreement Of
the property owners designating the kind
Of pave they desired. But the objections
On these points We're so trivial as 10 war
rant Us in disrcgardinE them altogether.
!. Defendants first contention il that
the ordinance is valid under the act of
1859 and that the act of 1895 providing for
u thrcc-fourths vote does not rcucal the
two-third clause Of the act of 1889 in that
particular. Let us compare the lrovis-
ions of the two acts, by placing them
side by side:

LONG VERY BUSY
Repairing Old Monitors and Waiting
for Mark

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Secretary
Long had an extremely busy morning.
Mr. Roosevelt and the various bureau
chiefs were with the secretary for some
time, perfecting the plans for the speedy
completion of the old monitors. The
bureau of engineers can put in the three
new boilers with little delay The ordnance
bureau has little to do on the monitors,
owing to the good condition of the guns.
armament, etc. The quota of powder for
these 15-inch guns is already sacked and
can be put aboard in few hours. Mr..
Long saw number of public men, in
Guiding Senators Proctor and Lodge.
The developments of the morning di-
verted attention from the report of in
quiry, which is now on its way to Washing
ton in charge of Judge Advocate Mark.
In addition to the presidents dispatches
concerning Lieutenant Marks trip, Sec
retary Long has received his own official
advices that the officer is on his way
The expectation among the officials is
that Lieutenant Mark will reach here on
Friday morning. There are no plans for
meeting him or for any formalitles on his
arrival. He will come direct to Secretary
Long and place the report in his hands.
The secretary will convey it at once to
the president. This will give an opportunity
for its consideration by the cabinet at the
regular meeting on Friday. After deliv-
ering the report Lieutenant Mark will re-
turn to his post on the Vermont at New
York unless the court of inquiry has
further investigation to make which is not
at all likely.

CHINA NOT BLIND
Begins to Long for the Erisndship o3
England

PEKIN. March 2a-During the last few
days the consultation between the emperor
and high officers of state have shown that
China is finally alive to her serious situa-
tion. One night the emperor actually de-
cided to resist Russia by force Of arms but
lack Of money and the counsels Of Ii Hung
Chang prevailed upon him to stop.
Nevertheless the eyes of the Tsung Ii
Yamen have been opened to the full ex-
tent as to the value of Russia's promises Of
friendship and during a recent discussion
the emperor exclaimed: why did not
accede to the opening of Talien Wan whom
England proposed ~"
Germany Is beginning to experience some
difficulty in the province of Shan TunE.
where the natives declare that In spite of
the emperor's proclamation they will op-
pose with violence the construction Of the
projected railway.
LONDON-The Nagasaki correspondent
OF the Daily Mall says: China it is reported
refuses to accept Russia's pledge that the
occupation Of Port Arthur will not be per-
unless the document is counter
signed by France and Germany, but 1t is
believed II she does not accede to the Rus
sian demand before Saturday next Russia
intends to seize Port Arthur and Talien
Wan and to hoist the Russian flag there"

state militia, who should be invited to
volunteer for the country's defense. These
men, he pointed out, are we'll organised.
well drilled and officered. and are in posi-
tion to render very effective service. In
view of these facts Mr.. Marsh believed
that 1t was the duty of the government to
call upon these old soldiers for duty in case
they care to volunteer. If any members
or officers of the guard preferred not TO en-
list because Of family or business cares and
responsibilities, then their places might be
taken by volunteers from outside the SER
vice.
Secretary Alger was very much inter-
ested in the arguments made by Mr.. Marsh,
and while not committing himself on that
point, seemed to regard the suggestions
made by him as practicable Afterwards
Mr.. Marsh called on President Mckinley
and repeated the statements he had made
to the secretary.
During the morning Secretary Alger was
also in conference with General Miles, com
manding the army, respecting the military
occupation of Fort Jefferson on Dry Tor
tugas island. The determination to gar
r!son this fort has been reached by the
secretary after a conference with his
aides and the navy department oMcia.s.
and the questions now to be met are those
of what improvements in the Notifications
now there may be necessary. Already
contract has been let by the navy depart
ment for dredging large part of the har-
Dor of the island so as to permit sne en-
trance of large naval vessels, and today
bids were opened for erecting an immense
shed in which the navy will store large
supplies of coal. 1t is realized, however,
that without very material improvements
and additions to the Notifications and
armament of Fort Jefferson It would be
impossible to protect the coal supply from
the depredations of hostile fleet. unless
United States men-of-war are constantly
on hand for that purpose. The armament
of Fort Jefferson at this time consist
of probably over a hundred old-time,
smooth-bore guns. which would have to
be supplemented by a number of additional
ones of modern pattern and effectiveness

During the short time Of the stay In

SICARD'S HEALTH
Believed to Be Good Cause for His
Retirement

KEY WEST, Fla, March 23.-The med
ical board which sat on the flagship Ne "
York yesterday TO consider the retirement
of Rear Admiral Sicard for physical dis
ability, has completed its work Its rec
ommendations will be forwarded to the
navy department. 1t is impossible to
learn the decision at which the board has
arrived, but it is believed that it recon-
mends his retirement.
The Mallory liner Leona, from New York,
was due today with three months pro-
visions for 1900 men. Up to the time Of
filing this dispatch, late this afternoon, she
had not arrived These provisions will be
stored here, and will considerably
strengthen Key West as a naval rendez-
vous in case of war. This, action is In line
with the activity recently exhibited to
hurry forward the fortifications, dredge
the harbor and otherwise put the island
into fit condition to Withstand an attack
and to make it suitable base Of supplies.

until after the report Of the board Of in
ouiry into me Maine disaster goes to con-
grese.
'sThe two questions will be treated sep
arAteiy," said he today, 'and the message
relative to Cuba will be sent to congress
soon after the report on the Maine ques-
tion.'
The Cuban message as forecasted by
prominent Republican will waive the ques-
tion OF the Maine disaster and putting aside
that awful occurrence will be in effect
declaration to Spain that the present
methods Of warfare in Cuba must cease.
1t will result In intervention in case Spain
demurs The message will be accom-
panied by the reports Of the consuls in
Cuba.
Mr.. Doiliver (Republican) Of Iowa, says
that Intervention on humane grounds viii
place our action upon moral level that
would command the sympathy OF the world.
We could afford he says, to waive all
question as to the Maine, if the board does
not fix the responsibility for the disaster
on Spain, in order to make the greater is
sue.
A prominent member of the house who
has been several times In consultation with
the president recently, and who possesses
as much unofiicial information Of the
cause of the Maine disaster probably as
the president does, says that while tse re-
port of the board will not fx the responsi-
bility for the explosion, 1t will be startling
in its nature. The information at The cap
itol is that already $25 1000 0000 Of the s50,-
100000 appropriated for the national de-
fense has been expended or contracts en-
tered into for its expenditure.

AT HAVANA
Miss Barton Leaves Cuba-Comments
on Report

HAVANA March 23.-Clara Barton,
president of the American branch Of the
Red Cross society, left for New York to-
night on the Key West mail steam II. 1t
was not known until this morning that she
intended to do So Miss Barton says the
cause Of her departure is purely personal,
and has to do with private financial mat
ters.
Miss Barton expects to go to Washington
and expressed the hope that she would
soon be able to return to Cuba.
DR.. Lesser and Mrs. Lesser will defer
their departure until Saturday, but DR..
Egan left by the mail steamer.
Bishop Manuel Santaner y Trulos, the
bishop of Havana, has consecrated the
central relief station. and also the Lee
orphanags. He paid high tributesto Louis
Klopsch, the special commissioner, for his
system of relief work, and seemed greatly
pleased with all the arrangements made to
help the poor, as we'll as the orphanage.
La Luoha, In an editorial under the cap
tion Of "Expectation In the World" MAIN
tains that the American court Of inquiry.
owing to the short time it was here, could
not give a scientific report on the Maine
disaster.
American naval officers" says La Lu-
cha, "are not likely to decide against
brother officers. The divers could not
give expert testimony owing to the fact
that the machinery was imbedded four feet
In the mud. 1t is greatly to be regretted
that more time and care were not given 10
the preparations of a report for which
the whole world waits. and which is likely
to change the entire feelings OF a part of
the American people toward Spain and
Cuba"
La Lucha publishes also an interview
with Consul General Lee, which quotes
him as saying that he knows nothing of the
nature of the report, but is satisfied that
General Blanco never conceived Of the
disaster until he heard the shock in the
harbor.
Gunner Morgan left for the fleet at Key
West today. With him went the naval
divers, Fisher, Runquist and Schluter, and
Ham, the helper. Hanz belongs to the
navy divers and seven civilians on the
contract work.
The body of a white man was found in
the forward part of the wreck today. 1t
will probably be identified by marks on the
clothing when the latter has been disin-
fected. The body was sent to Key West on
the Olivette
No orders have yet been received by the
Maine officers here to go north.
Four red cross nurses are expected to
arrive by the Ward line steamer today.

THE ARMY BILL
The Measure Completed and at Once
Reported

WASHINGTON, March 23-The army
reorganization bill was adopted unani-
mously today by the house committee on
military affairs and was subsequently re-
ported to the house. In passing upon the
measure the committee has disposed OF
very significant point as to the presidents
functions in war time. There was long
discussion over proposition to insert In
the bill an express provision which will
permit the president to increase the army
forces Immediately, in case of sudden
grave emergency. 1t was pointed out that
no president would ever take advantage of
such provision, and that President Lin
coin had set the example, and his action
had been justified subsequently. 1t was
felt by somo that where the necessity for
hasty action was great subsequent approv-
al of congress would be sufficient, and the
president should be given some warrant
for such step, with requirement to Sc
cure the approval of congress at the earli-
est moment practicable. The discussion
was not on party lines, but the Republican
members of the committee differed among
themselves as to the wisdom of enlarging
the presidents functions In this respect or
to have them remain in statu quo.
1t was, however, concluded that 1t would
be best to allow the conditions to remain
unchanged, and the committee inserted a
provision modifying section 2, to make pre-
vious congressional action more binding,
allowing the establishment of the third
battalion war formation only upon the
declaration of war by congress or decla-
ration that war exists.
The committee in its report cites official
reports as showing the increase Of the COM
missioned force of the line of the army
needed to change it from peace to war
footing, and puts the enlisted strength at
104 1884 men, an increase of 1884 men, an
equivalent of 66 regiments Of volunteers of
1900 men each. To properly officer these
regiments would require 66 colonels, 66
lieutenant colonels, 1888 majors, 1872 captains,
924 first lieutenants and 1872 second lieuten-
ants, the pay aggregating $4,93s, ,SJO To
officer the same number of troops under
the provisions of this bill in time of war
would cost as follows: One hundred and
twenty second lieutenants, cavalry; "a
first lientenants, artillery; "a second lieu
tenants, artillery; so captains, infantry; 50
first lieutenants, infantry, and $50 second
lieutenants of infantry, their pay aggre-
eating $1,07S,600. This, the committee con-
cludes, effects a saving in organization of
$3.50 800 per year.
