The bills of E. p Henry for curbing
paving and guttering on Maple street were
contracted by the Street committee to
comply with an ordinance. Mr. Andrews
moved that the Collector render bills to
the property owners, to be paid within
thirty days from the time the bill was
presented. Motion carried
The w alter Superintendent's report for
January showed collections amounting to
$I464 So.
In compliance with law the follow
ing resolution was passed by Council en-
towering the City Collector to issue war

The bond of the Water Superintendent

those on real estate had not been recorded
in the County Clerks Office prior TO 1894,
it was moved that the amounts be RENTED,
to straighten up the books. The motion
was carried.
As there were only five members present
Council was unable to transfer money to
different accounts as they intended doing.
Mr.. Hendrickson asked that Mr.. Klaze
water bill be reduced so that he would not
be paying a higher rate than other
consumers. Quite a debate followed
between Mr.. Hendrickson aud Mr..
Andrews, in which it appears that the
petition on which the main was extended
outside of the city on Salem avenue had
several signers, guaranteeing the necessary
10 per cent, but only Mr.. Klaze had taken
the water, and the 10 per cent. guarantee
was charged to him, making the amount
So so above the actual water rent. Mr.
Hendrickson cited instances in North
Woodbury. where they were not getting
sufficient returns for the money expended
and did not see but that Mr.. Klaze had the
same rights as the consumer in the city.
The question as to whom the city should
look for the 10 per cent. guarantee arose,
and the matter was finally referred to the
City Solicitor for his opinion.

health AUTHORITIES.

Despite the inclement weather Of Monday
the Convention Of the Associated Health
Authorities of Gloucester county, held in
the Court House, this city, was largely at
tended by the health custodians of Cam
den, Salem, Cumberland and Burlington
counties. Warner Underwood, of this city
presided over the session. The local Boards
reported the general health conditions as
good, except in one or two localities, where
contagious diseases existed in mild form.
The agitated question as to whether the
Boards had jurisdiction in the case Of dogs
suffering from rabies elected discussion,
in which the consensus Of opinion tended
to the belief that the Boards had control of
all such cases.

TROOP SHIPS FROM MANILA.
Arrival of the Steamers Ohio and
Valencia at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. s. - The troop
ship Valencia, which arrived from the Phil
ippines last night, is now undergoing the
process of fumigation. The Ohio which
reached port to-day is not in need of fumi-
cation. but will be put in shape at once for
the return journey. 1t is thought that at
least ten days will be required. The Indiana
and possibly the Newport, now due here
may accompany the Ohio and Valencia. On
the 18th of this month will depart the Sena-
tor, carrying a battalion of the Twenty
third United States Infantry, to which will
be attached the Oregon recruits. Besides
these will go detached battery or COM
pany not yet determined, members of the
hospital corps, several female nurses. and,
of course. the officers of the respective
commands. The ships quota will be 500 men
and thirty-eight officers. 1t is supposed that
either the Nevada cavalry or the Wyoming
artillery will go.
The Ohio brought with her to-day as pas
sengers seven United States soldiers from
Manila, most Of whom return to this coun-
try on account Of expiration of time They
are H. A. Abbey. Z. L. Boyce, F. Gardner

ANNEXED BY BRITAIN.
Three Groups of Small Islands I'm the
south Pacific Grabbed.

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct S.-The islands re-
Gently annexed by the British war ship
Goldfnch are said to be the Duff, Cherrick
and Mtre groups. The Mohawk planted
the British flag on the Santa Cruz islands,
the Reef island and Swallow group. On her
trip to the latter islands she ran on reef
and was considerably damaged The Duff
group numbers eleven islands, all thickly
inhabited by copper-colored natives. The
islands are densely wooded and of great fer
tiIity. AIitre island is uninhabited. but
Cherrick island has between five hundred
and six hundred natives on it, the same
races as the Tocupians. The whole of the
recent annexations have been placed under
the control of Mr.. C. M. Woodford, the
British resident in the Solomon group. The
Island of Motuiti, or Kennedy island which
has appeared in the beginning of the CEN
tury, was searched for by the steamer Mo-
hawk when she reached the Santa Cruz
islands No island exists near the position
assigned, and it is thought the island. like
Falcon island, also has sunk beneath the
waves.

them. He thought it was mistake to 10
cate so many men together as at Camp
Thomas. Requisitions had been honored
promptly.

Of subsistence for the First Brigade of the
Second Division of the Seventh Army
Corps. now at Camp Cuba Libre,H Jackson
vile. occupied the commission during the
afternoon. He reached the camp on Aug. 2
and made an immediate inspection of the
kitchens. He found some of them not well
managed, as all of the army cooks were not
experts. He believed that for an army in
camp green coffee was preferable to the
roasted as it was stronger and fresher. The
meat he considered good and was received
on time except in one instance. The men
were literally supplied with food and the
location of the camp was good Still there
had been an increase of disease which he
attributed to the climate and to the assem-
bling of a large body of men. He also
thought decaying fruit and the canteen beer
had been an influence in producing disease.
Much of this witnesses testimony related to
complaints from the Second New Jersey
Regiment. The witness said there had been
many complaints from this regiment and In
vestigations had shown the trouble was due
to the fact that the officers were with
out experience.

OREGON'S NEW SENATOR
HON. JOSEPH SIMON ELECTED BY
REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS.
Hebrew Lawyer, who Has Long Been
a Member of the State Senate
Elected on First Ballot.

SALEM, Ore, Oct. 8.-Hon. Joseph Simon,
of Portland, was to-day elected United
States senator by the Legislature in joint
session, to fill the vacancy which has ex-
listed since March f. 1897. Mr.. Simon re-
ceived the entire vote of the Republicans.
The ballot stood: Simon, "a; Kincaid, %;
Bennett, 2; absent. l.
The contest which ended to-day by the
election of Mr.. Simon has been carried on
for two years. The Legislature which con-
vened in January, 1897, should have chosen
a successor to ]. H. Mitchell, whose term
expired in March, 1897, but the lower house
was never organized, and consequently the
session expired by limitation and no vote
was taken for United States senator. Gov
ernor Lord appointed ex-senator H. w.
Corbett to the vacancy, but the United
States Senate refused to admit him. The
Legislature which was elected last June
was Overwhelmingly Republican, and Mr..
Corbett was recognized as the leading candi-
date for senator. Governor Lord called an
extra session of the Legislature, which as
sembled Sept 26. Corbett received the eau
Gus nomination for senator by majority of
the members, but lacked ten votes of ma
jority of the Legislature After voting four
days for Mr.. Corbett, his friends became
convinced that he would not be elected. A
caucus of all Republicans was called last
night, at which a letter of withdrawal was
read from Mr.. Corbett. A ballot was taken
for senator and Mr.. Simon received five less
votes than majority of the Legislature.
Before another ballot. was taken motion
making Mr.. Simon the unanimous choice of
the cancus was put and carried. When the
joint assembly met to-day he received the
full Republican vote.
Mr.. Simon is Hebrew and was born in
Germany in 1851. He came to New York
with his parents when only year old, and
five years later came to Portland, Ore. His
education was received in the public schools
of Portland and in 1872 he was admitted to
the bar, having read law in the Office of
Mitchell & Dolph, both of whom served
many years in the United States Senate.
Since the financial question has become a
leading issue Mr.. Simon has been an advo-
cate of the gold standard. He espoused
active politics in 1874 as a member of the
county committee, and his election as a
member of the Common Council followed in
1878. In 1884 he was elected to the state
Senate, which position he has ever since
held, with the exception of term of two
years He has also been chairman of the
Republican state central committee and del
egate to several national conventions. Mr..
Simon is now member of the law firm of
Dolph, Mallory & Simon.

THE CUBAN DEBT.
Question That Will Probably worry
| the Peace Commissioners.

Question That Will Probably worry
the Peace COmmissiOners.
LONDON, Oct. s-The Paris correspond
ent of the Times says THE question of the
Cuban debt cannot be settled until the COM
missioners have received fresh instructions
from their respective governments. The
American commissioners are anxious to deal
with Cuba in summary fashion, considering
a discussion of details unnecessary. The
Spaniards, on the other hand regard the
protocol as drawn up under the necessity
OF putting an end to situation which had
become threatening for both countries.
Therefore, from their point of view, there is
still much to be discussed-especially the
question of the Cuban debt. / doubt wheth-
er the Spaniards will accept the hospitality
of General Horace Porter before the treaty
of peace is concluded
The Times, commenting editorially on the
foregoing dispatch, says: I'VE can under
stand that Spain, aware of Americas sani-
tary difficulties in the Gulf of Mexico and
the Caribbean, may 20 tempted to hold out
for better conditions than she believed her
self entitled to when the protocol was ar
ranged, but we shall be surprised if the
American commissioners do not peremptor-
lily insist-as President Mckinley is said to
be ready to doom sweeping such dilatory
pleas away. A renewal of the war would be
an act of folly approximating to crime,'
With reference to the Cuban debt the
Times says: Americas demand that Spain
retain the responsibility amounts substan-
TALLY to Reputation, and. other parties
are interested, it is to be hoped a decision
will be carefully considered An early con-
clusion of peace is desirable, but it would
be dearly bought at the cost of an arrange
ment which might cause uneasiness, both
actual and prospective, to the world S money
markets.
The Madrid correspondent of the Standard
says: There has been remarkable re-
vulsion of public feeling against Spain's
traditional policy Of isolation and neutrality
and the papers are applauding Senor Sa-
gasta for urging, at the last Cabinet coun-
Gil, the necessity of Spains taking an in
terest in the affairs of the far East and of
Morocco. This change of feeling is due to
Spanish resentment for England's too
friendly attitude toward the United States
during the war. Many petitions have been
presented to the government in favor of re-
ductions in the peninsular army, but they
have elected only a. declaration by Senior
Sagasta that owing to the attitude of the
Carlists q reduction is impossible"

Dewey VIII Not Need More Ships If
Germans Arc Friendly.

Dewey VIII Not Need aIore Ships If
Germans Are Friendly.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Oct S.-There is much
speculation as to what has caused the de-
lay in the starting OF the battle ships Ore
gon and Iowa. They were to have left a
week ago or more for Manila, but they are
still anchored at TompkinsviIle under wait
ing orders. One explanation is that affairs
are taking such a color that it may not be
necessary to send the great war ships to
the Philippines. A better understanding is
said to have been reached between the
United States and Germany, the latter hav-
ing dropped its arrogant tone and to have
signif1ed willingness to let this government
settle the Philippine question in it's own
way without threat or suggestion or inter-
ference. Such being the case, diplomatic
reasons may compel the government to keep
naval reinforcements out Of the far Orient
so as not to give the appearance of provok-
ing or inviting counter demonstrations or
excuse for irritation.
An Associated Press dispatch says: 1t is
stated at the Navy Department to-day that
in all probability the battle ships Iowa and
Oregon will not be able to start from New
York for Honolulu before next Wednesday.
The instructions to Captain Barker, the
senior officer commanding the Oregon, are
to sail as soon as the ships are ready for
the voyage. But there are some matters of
equipment that it is desirable to add to the
ships before they sail, and as there is really
no necessity for their departure in advance
of the colliers Scindia and Sterling, there
will be no real delay by deferring the start
until next Wednesday.
