deavored to force the city treasurer to

ceive the money.

whether the Street and Sewer Depart
ment would appeal the matter.

cd copy of the decree of the court

was not necessary as copy of the
decree would cost IS.
| 1t was claimed that it was the city
treasurers duty to keep himself in
formed on the matter and that he could
visit the Court House and see the origi
nal decree there
| 1t was stated last night that Treasurer
Hamann had only desired official in
formation that the suit was settled.
Robert g. Harmon, one of the at
torneys in the case is said to have called
on Treasurer IIamann and explained the
status of the legal proceedings to him.
! Treasurer lIamann it is said was salts
fed with this explanation and will hand
over the money ut tonight's meeting OF
| Council.

needed ut once. Many demands are be-
ing made on the treasury. The crema
tory bills are quite large this month, tho
aggresate amount being nearly $1,000.

Berlin, Nov. 14.-The reichstag rcas-

dwclt at considerable length on the
events in China, which have excited such
deep emotion among civilized people, say
ing:
The fanatical hate and dark supersti-
tion, melted by the INSCRIPTIONS ad-
visers of the court, have driven misguid-
ed masses of Chinese TO acts of atrocity
against the outposts of western civilian
tion and Christian worship dwelling
peacefully in their midst.
MY minister died at the hand of an
assassin in a courageous attempt to over
come the rising peril. The foreigners at
the capital saw themselves threatened,
life and limb These things of horror
united the civilized community, where
otherwise there was a divergence. All
nations against which the unparalleled
onslaught was directed drew closer.
Their sons fought with one mind, shoul-
der to shoulder, even as yonder standards
float side by side. So the governments
show themselves in council united with
the sole wish to restore an orderly state
Of things as speedily as possible and
after the punishment of the chief cul-

In announcing that the relations of
Germany with all the powers are good
the speech recalls his maiesty's sorrow
at the assassination Of King lIumbcrt OF
Italy, saying he was my ally and dcal
friend, who fell victim 10 Il damnable
outrage" The speech then proceeds:
II would sooner have consulted the
rCchstag on the measures in China hui
for the necessity Of prompt action aud
the difficulty of furnishing reliable in
formation. Whenever the rcichstag could
form decisions or estimate the eNpendi
ture required the government felt conf
dent that the representatives would not
refuse their subsequent sanction to tho
necessary expenditure"
