A Big BOROUGH MEETING.
WAS HELD IN WEST HAVEN LAST
ERENING.
Voted to Sell the Chemical Engine
Recently Purchased by Fire Commits
gesses Held Immediately After.

The annual meeting of the borough
of West Haven was held last night in
the town hall and it was one of the
largest meetings ever held in that town.
The meeting was one of great interest,
as many important questions We're to
come up for discussion.
The meeting was called to order short
! ly after o'clock with Warden Thomp-
son in the chair and about 450 citizens
of the borough seated and standing
around the hall,
One of the most decisive scraps" that
has taken place in West Haven for a
| long time was the one last night over
| the new chemical engine that was
brought to the town about a month ago,
After a long discussion on the advisa-
bility of keeping the machine it was
finally voted, on motion of Alfred Pow
ell to give the warden and burgesses
power to dispose of the engine either in
private sale or public auction. There
were several amendments offered dur
ing the evening, one of which was to
leave the matter in the hands of the
warden and burgesses and have them
vote to either sell or keep it. This the
majority would not have for minute,
as they claimed that the expense IN
handling the engine would amount to
at least 81, 800 a year Two amendments
were voted down when they were put,
and on the first question the vote was
almost unanimous.
Mr.. Mackrille. the president of the
board of fire commissioners, was heard
and he told of the purchase of the en-
CINE aud of the benefit it would be to
the borough If it was finally put into
commission. He pointed out the fact
that Superintendent Fancher endorsed
the machine and that on that account
1t ought to be given a fair trial.
As soon as Mr. Mackrille finished his
argument Messrs. Clark, Bush, Bailey,
Warner and others spoke on the expense
of the machine. Mr.. Bush thought that
the matter should be left with the war
den and burgesses for consideration. He
said if necessary expert opinions from
outside should be called in so that
very thorough investigation could be
made.
Mr. Bush said that it looked as though
the matter was acted upon very hastily
and that it was for the best interests of
the borough that he matter be left with
the warden and burgesses. This was
offered as an amendment to the original
motion, but was voted down.
Mr.. Lynch made a motion at this
point to have the matter tabled indefi-
nitely, but this, too, would not suit the
anti-chemcal men and on a vote the
motion was lost.
About 10 o'clock the original motion to
have the warden and burgesses dispose
of the chemical engine was voted on
and carried.
A five-mill tax was again levied. there
being no question concerning proposed
increase of two mills
The meeting adjourned until Satur-
day night at O'clock.

Mclean was asked by reporter this
morning in reference to the story of
the ineIigibility of Attorney Phelps

But the Inertia of Chinese customs. OF
Chinese methods Of living and gaining
livelihood Is so great. and the desire
for change confined to so few, that any
radical change of the Chinese in China
seems hopeless. Such changes as are
made or such improvements as are adopt-

outside with an irresistible pressure or

than that Of MISREPRESENTATION

the one gate of which we get a glimpse
from the water seems to be entirely I'M
guarded. Yet there is a garrison within.
THE PEI-HO RIVER.
The Pei-Ho river extends to Picking, and
in the ante-railroad days, only short
time ago, visitors to the capital generally
chose this method of reaching it, though
the rivers winding course took, them be-
tween 100 and 200 miles, and the voyage
occupied five days. Now one is landed
just beyond Taku, at Tongku and the
course is so circuitous that the junk is
obliged to tack many times. All kinds of
Oriental fishing and commercial craft are
passed, from the diminutive sampan to
ancient junlls of massive build and ante
diluvian shape. Many of them were built
in ancient times, and have come down
from one generation to another having in
all probability enjoyed a long and sue
cessful career as pirates
The shores of the Pei-Ho are lined with
Chinese villages Of mud smoothly built
first Of mud bricks, then mud smeared
outside. The roofs are matched with
reeds and afterward mud is laid on these
There are apertures for doors and Win
dows, and sometimes there are a few
square feet of yard, inclosed by a reed
OR mud fence. But the whole village is
brown; brown are the river banks, brown
the houses and ROOFS, brown the streets.
There are no trees or shrubs to relieve
it. In a heavy rainstorm the houses are
not always a secure refuge from the force
of the elements for they are likely to be
washed down and run away The demoli-
ton of entire villages in this way is not
unheard of.
Four or five miles up the river one
comes to the town Of fangku, where the
railroad to Tien Tsin begins This has
been built about five years, and obviates
a trip of sixty miles by the circuitous
Pei-IIo by going there in straight line
twenty-five miles in length. The junk IS
brought to in nest of sampans, over
which unstable bridge the passengers
must pass to reach the shore, beset in
the mean time by a crowd of jabbering
