In explanation OF the above figures the
comptroller said that the balances given
were only apparent, as expenditures had
been made which had not yet been reported
by the Board Of Public Works. Unless the
board reports or the council retransfers the
money to the general fund. the balances
would not be available, as the comptroller
cannot certify to warrants unless he knows
the condition of the fund drawn on. The
board ceased to make reports about August
/. The report was referred.
Comptroller Westberg reported that a
shortage amounting to s3.072.5 SO existed in
several districts, which the council would
have to provide for, otherwise the bonds
and coupons OF the districts would go to

provements recommending the passage OF

The sum OF 81, 900 was voted out Of the
sewer bond fund for work on an extension
of the city sewer to Forty-fourth street
and Lincoln avenue, on condition that the
county pays 81, 900 toward the work.
The report Of a majority of the com
mittee on street improvements recommend
ing the opening Of Ohio street west OF Twen-
tieth and of Miami street was turned down
and the minority report, laying the matter
over for one week, was adopted. The propo-
sitions In regard to both streets are based
on the dedication Of property for street
purposes on condition of the cancellation OF
taxes.
Miscellaneous Matters.
BY resolution the interest on special taxes
levied against the property of Mrs. Ellen
Lyman was cancelled, the tax commissioner
advising such action.
The sum of $50 was allowed the city cleo
trician with which TO repair the illumina-
lions OF the city hall for the week Of the
Ak-Sar-Ben parades.
The contracts between the city and c.. B.
Ravens, J. s.. Stone and j. +. Twomley &
Son, for furnishing respectively the city
coal, meals TO city prisoners and forage
were referred for consideration
The following ordinances were passed: To
improve Cunning street from Thirty-second
to Fortieth; to improve Thirty-seventh from

One of the greatest pests of
South Africa is the locusts, which
decend in swarms each year upon
the farms of Natal and the Trans
vaal. They sometimes fly in such
numbers that railroad trains are
blocked and are forced to wait until
the bodies of the insects are SHOW
eled from the tracks. Last year
the government of Cape Colony
paid out $S, 500 for locusts' eggs,
at the rate of twelve cents a pound.
As it takes 10000 eggs to weigh
a pound an idea of the enormous
number destroyed in this way ma,
be gathered. But the locusts arr
not an unmixed curse. They are
eaten by the natives, who say they
make delicious food, and all ami
mails, including horses, are said Il
be fond of them.

The Choctaw Townsite Commits
sion interpret the intent aud pur-
pose of the treaty aud their per-
sonal instructions to be that COM
mon right and justice be shown to
each person who had in good faith

taw land. Then, in view of the
fact that the towns have most all
been built irregullary and regard
less of any plat or survey, and now
when the plating and surveying
throws a mans improvements in
the street, they have decided equity
and common justice dictates that
they schedule the party in the
street. lot upon which to move
his imp ovements. Then again,
parties whose houses stood on the
M. K. & T. right Of way, but who
had lots fenced back of their
houses were scheduled this lot in
lieu of their right to a lot which
improvements would hold. In the
case of r. l.. Palmer. it would be
remembered that some years ago,
during the management of the
moving off the right Of way, the
acting committee assigned Mr.. Pal
mer the lot east of the track and
south of the Catholic church on
which to move his restaurant, and
the moving was started, but o

ALL EYES ON LADYsMITn.
England Unc.rtaia whether white Can
Hold Out For Relief.

London. Nov. 12.-Reviewing
the military situation as it stands
today. the military expert of the
Westminster Gazette says:
1t is hardly too much to say
that the attention of the civilized
world is now fixed on the situation
at Ladysmith. On the develop
ments of that situation in the i'm
mediate future rests eur hope of a
speedy conclusion of the war.
If Sir George White can main
tain his position up to November
26, or perhaps day or two Ion
ger, the danger in Natal will be
ended. Should he fail to do so he
will be compelled to abandon his
guns and stores and retire with
heavy loss to the southwark, only
to be brought up by broken bridges
and Boer forces IN position on the
Tugela river.
1t is impossible to predict what
may happen. In considering the
situation, to put it shortly, the
weak point in Whites position is
that our men and horses must be
enduring daily an ordeal which
cannot improve their fighting eff
cheney. Though we are told pro-
visions are in plenty, yet there is
danger that ammunition, especially
ammunition for his big guns, may
run short.
Under these circumstances it is
now clear that Sir Redvers- Butler
has determined to send Lord Meth
uen's division, consisting Of the
Guards, a brigade under Sir w.
Colville. and the English brigade
under Major General Hildyard, to
Durham, with orders to break
through the Boer southern outposts
at Pietermaritzburg or at Colenso.
and join hands with General White.
Unfortunately the assembly of this
division. at Durham will be a mat
ter of some time.
In discussing the reported acts
of treachery ON the part of the
Beers in.killing refugees, the West
minister Gazette's military cores
pondent proceeds:
When an act, which must nee
essarily brand the perpetrator with
infamy, is deliberately committed
with no possible excuse of hot
blood or the turmoil or confusion
of great battle, we are entitled
to assume that such obloquy would
not be incurred without some pros
pect of great and immediate advan.
tage.
What possible advantage could
the Beers gain from the destruc
ton by artillery fire of number
of refugees who they had Just
handed over to our charge, doubt
less with the object of embarrass
ing White with number of addi
tional mouths to feed?
1T must also be remembered
that these Boer guns-for the al
legation is distinct that the out
rage was committed by guns ani
uot by rifle nen-probably SOM
three Or four miles-from on
pichets. Do not all these consld
erations point to the fact that tn
shots were fired through a misun
derstanding, such as might equal,
we'll have occurred on our side
SO that, without further evidence
we ought not to convict the Boer
Of willful inhumanity and gros
violation of the laws war"
