DIRECT TO PORTO RICO.
47th N. Y. Volunteers Will Sail From
N.wport on Transport Manitoba.

The transport Manitoba will leave
New York today for Newport, where
the 47th New York Volunteers, now
stationed az Fort Adams. will be em-
barked for Porto Rico. Everything has
been done to give the men OF the regi-
ment comfortable trip from Newport
10 Porto Rico. The Manitoba can ac-
commodate about 1900 men. There are
1900 men in the regiment and about 80
officers. An ample supply of tents and
wooden floors for them will be taken
along, as well as an abundant stock of
provisions. There will be complete
reglmental hospital and dispensary.
The regiment will, however. not take
away from Fort Adams all who went
there with IL. for many OF the men have
left without permission, and many
others who still remain i'm the ranks
do not like the idea of going To Porto
Rico. 1t is feared that other desertions
VIII occur and strong guard has been
posted to keep the men within bounds.

DEADLOCK
is STILL ON
Conference Committee Did
Not Agree.
HELD A LONG SESSION
But Failed to Settle the ApprOpria-
ti0n Bill Muddle.
SPECIAL MEETINGS TO BE HELD.

There does not seem TO be much
chance. at least for the present, of an
agreement being reached between the
members of the committee of confer
ence, appointed TO come TO some defn-
lite understanding i'm regard To the city
appropriation bill. for yesterdays meet
ing OF the representatives of the two
branches of the city council had no
satisfactory results. The committee
was i'm session about three hours, but
IL was OF no avail, and the employees of
the city will get no pay for the pres
ent.
The meeting took the form o( con-
ference, separation of the two COM
mlttees, vote, and then another con-
ference. and finally the only difference
between the two committees dwindled
down TO a matter of $4,000, and then the
deadlock became tighter than ever.
Ihe discussion began i'm proposition
10 reduce the amount to be added to
the highway appropriation and TO strike
out the second section of the BILL tying
up $4,000 of the receipts from sewer as
sessments. Then the two committees
separated and took a vote. Then there
was another proposition To strike out
the board amendment, adding $25, 600
TO the appropriation for highways and
reduce the amount To be transferred
from the receipts from sewer assess
ments to miscellaneous receipts from
$40. 900 10 $50, 900.
The common council committee re-
fused 10 entertain this proposition but
IL finally decided to accept an amend
ment to section two of the bill chang
ing the amount from $40 600 to $25 600
but the aldermen declined to agree,
and then the meeting was adjourned.
1t now devolves upon Mayor Baker
to call special meetings of both branch
es Of the city council. and he will prob
ably do so as the conference commit
tee reports to him it's inability to agree
new committee may be appointed
Dut, of course, this remains to be seen.

Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1898-06-11

Sir Tannhauser was legendary hero
of Germany. AID won the affections of
the fair maid, Lisaura. but, filed with
the spirit of adventure, the knight set
out to visit the mountain where Venus
was said to dwell, vowing that he
would kiss the queen of love and beau
~, herself. When Lisaura heard of
this, she committed suicide. Tam
hauser succeeded in entering the en-
chanted mountain, but after living
there for some time, becoming weary
OF Venus society, and by crafty ex-
cuse obtained permission to visit the
upper world. he returned to earth, and
when he found that he had been the
cause of Lisaura's death, he went to
Pope Urban for dissolution. His holi-
ness refused to grant. it saying: You
can no more hope for mercy than this
dry stan can be expected to bud"
Whereupon the knight returned to
the enchanted mountain. In q few
days the papal staff actually did bud
and the pope sent for Sir Tannhauser,
but the knight could not be found, and
was never again seen on earth.
