VOTING MAY Be CLOSE
The Opposition to the Appoint
ments Not So Formidable.
1T APPEARS TO WEAKEN
The Irreconcilables Muster six Votes
Sure. but Whether They Can Get
the Two More Necessary 10 Win
Is q Serious Question.

The members of the Butte city coun-
rejecting or confirming the appoint
ments which were made by Mayor Har-
rington two weeks ago. A good deal
of feeling has been stirred up over the
matter and there Is much speculation
as to how the aldermen will vote at
to-night's meeting.
When the appointments were first
made II seemed a foregone conclusion,
judging from the mount of kicking
in the air. that the appointments would
be beaten. The indications of the mum
icipal thermometer last night were that
most. IL not all. of the mayors appoint
ments would he confirmed. What has
caused this change Is "A matter of much
doubt. But certain IL Is that the oppo-
sition does not seem so well organized
or as vicious as il was two weeks ago.
or even a week ago. Some unseen infiu-
ences have apparently been at work.
There are still. however. some irrecon-
cilab les in the game. They are of suf-
ficient strength to form a good stiff mi
nirity at to-night's meeting. even If they
cannot muster sufficient strength to de-
feat any appointments. The ~irreconcil-
ables will hardly be able to defeat all
the appointments, as was the original
programme. but they are confident of
defeating some of them. The lrrecon-
cilables coun on six sure votes. They
are Bryant. Britt. Kelly, Siebenaler and
Ljubibratich. democrats. and Common
and Cannon, republicans. Those who
are expected to stand by the mayors
appointments are Page, Medin, Bow
man and Rowan. democrats, and Pas
zoe. Melcher and Noyes. silver republic
cans. That cav six against the may
or to seven for him. The men counted
as doubtful are Ferns, Macarthur and
Knowlton. all democrats. II is under
stood that Alderman Ferns will vote
against the confirmation of Mr.. Wes-
son for sanitary inspector on the ground
that he did not support the democratic
ticket at the recent election. but will
vote for the confirmation of all the rest
of the mayors appointments. Neither
Macarthur nor Knowlton has expressed
himself i'm the matter, but Alderman
Macarthur is generally counted on as a
supporter of the mayor. while Alderman
Knowlton is counted on by the irrecon-
cilahles as with them on some at least
of their propositions.
The irreconcilables count on six votes
sure and a possibility of eight out of the
total of Is aldermen i'm the council. IL
they get eight the appointments will he
beaten. but is is probable that they
will fall short of that number. There
was some talk last evening of the ir-
reconcilables abandoning the effort TO
beat all the appointments and concen-
trating their efforts to beat three or
four OF the more obnoxious ones.

Washington. May 3l.-ln the supreme

below was reversed in the case of the
Pullman Palace Car company VS.. the

case involved property amounting to

ton and the court below was instruct
ed to enter a judgment for 1927 sac with
Cancelled. instead of the amoun as or
dinarily granted. The opinion was
rendered by Justice Peckham, who
said:
Although the Central company may
have been injured by the result of The
lease i'm the misfortune which has over
taken IL by reason of the Law declaring
void n lease of such a nature, and while
the company may not have incurred
any moral guilt, il has nevertheless
violated the law by making an Illegal
contract and one which was against
public policy, and IL must take such
consequences as result therefrom."
The judgment is for the value Of the
Central company's property in 1885 and

THE PHILIPPINES TARIFF.
II VIII Not Be Changed Under American
Admioistr ration.

New York, May 3l.-A special tn the
Times from Washington says: As "A
result of the investigation the treasury
department has been making into the
question of a tariff for the Philippines
to be levied as a military contribution
during the occupation of the islands by
the United States forces. the admins
tration has practically decided to en-
force the existing Spanish schedules
only with such changes as the circum-
stances may make necessary. The ex-
perts of the customs service ave made
an exhaustive study of the Spanish
tariffs. with special reference To the
course to be pursued In the Philippines.
and .he results Of these labors have
been laid before the president by Sec
rotary Gage.
The first proposition was to adopt a
new tariff drawn ON the American
model. as was done when his country
occupied Tampico during the Mexican
war. In hat case. which has fur
nished the most useful precedents for
the present emergency. "A special tariff
was prepared and enforced during the
brief occupation of the port by the mill
itary forces of the United States.

of the conditions entirely dissimilar tn

wiser simply TO take w the tarir lists

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Nov. Correctional gains
throughout the list were the result of to-
days trading. The decided strength of
the early market was in sympathy with
London's improved prices and London
was a small purchaser ON balance. Pro
fit-takings at times checked the advance
in the stock market, which became dull
in the afternoon with quotations gem
orally well maintained. Sugar, after an
early advance, sold off as usual on the
announcement of the regular dividend
disbursement. The transactions in this
speciality were very large, and covering
