THE COMMITTEE ON ESTIMATES, Two Reports Will he Made to the Com
 mon Council.


 The committee on estimates last night completed it's report and recom- mendation to present to the board of aldermen tonight and to the board of councilmen tomorrow night. There will be two reports, a majority report and a minority report, the latter signed by Alderman Dove, aldermanic repre- sentative on the board of finance The principal change recommended in the estimates by the majority report is the cutting out of an item of SAG, ,02909 in the controllers account to pay city notes falling due. The committee then recommends that this amount be dis tributed among other departments es- pecially the police and fire departments and the department of public works. No change is recommended in the esti- mates of the board of education. The report by Alderman Dove will recommend against taking the $46, 029.09 from the controllers account, Alderman Dove holding that city notes should be paid as they become due instead of being renewed. He points to the fact that in 1901 $77,00O worth of city in- debtedness will fail due, while in 1902 $72,000 will become due He thinks that the amount falling due in 1900 can be better paid during that year than during the succeeding two years, when larger amounts become due.

PROHIBITION CONTENTION.
National Event to be Held i'm Chicago
 Next June47.

Chicago, Dec 13.-The prohibition na- tional convention will be held in Chi cago on June 27 of next year. This was decided at the meeting here to-day of the national committee of the prohibi- ton party. Twenty-six committeeman were present, representing thirteen states. The contest for the convention was quite spirited.
 The resignation of National Chair man Samuel Dickie of Michigan was accepted by the committee after con- siderable discussion. and o. w. Stew art, chairman of the Illinois state com- mittee, was elected to the position. Na- tional Secretaory w. T. Wardwell also rendered his resignation, but the con- mittee refused to accept it.
 Sharp debate occurred while the ques- tions of time and place of holding the national convention were being dis cussed. Committeeman Danner of Ohio strongly condemned the anti-saloon league of that state, claiming 1t had done much to retard and injure the prohibition cause in Ohio Committee man Carlkadden of West Virginia and Committeeman Smith of Iowa criticised President Mckinley and the Methodist church, Committeeman Smith asserting the Methodist church was the biggest stumbling block in the way of the pro- hibition movement in Iowa. Among the committeeman present were H. B. MelcaII and J. G. Wooley, Rhode lsl- and; F. w. Clark, Massachusetts.
