Little interest is taken in the

people Of the United States know
that the issue is hfeless. Gold and
silver democrats are again joining

The appearance OF the bubonic
plague at Manila was not unexpected
by the government. It is only four
days by steamer to Hong Kong and
the disease has existed there for sew

icient quarantine plants in the Phil

the spread of the infection among

bound to be much anxiety among
the relatives and friends cf the Off
GERS and soldiers al Manila and no
little uneasiness on the part Of some
that il may find its way to our Pa

The attention Of the chamber OF

the o. r. q N. Company has sought
to secure settlement Of the rate

to take up his question in the inter-

pute which related to Astoria's rec

reconciled to its indefinite continu-
ance, provided its ultimate settlement
would tend in any way to bring
about the cmsummation so much

stated that the fight between the A.

nothing whatever to do with the

The conference committee, composed Of

day. Comptroller McCardy had made
up no report, and entered an objection to
the proceedings by stating that monthly
reports were required, and that the com

business because the new charter, under
which the committee existed, had not
been In operation a month
AS the comptroller was the only dere-

opinion as to the law in the case, and the
attorney sustained him. The reports Of
nine of the department heads were re-

Mr.. Wheelock, of the park board. was
of opinion that the law. under which the
city was conducted previous to the time
the new charter went into effect, did not

the future the conference committee
shall meet on the second Monday in

Attorney General Douglas has not yet
