UP GO ESTIMATES.
Brick Men May Now Increase
Their Bids For Sidewalks.

City Engineer Wise last night submit
ted his estimate for new sidewalks for
the coming year. All bids for the con-

estimates. They are as follows:
Brick walk, feet wide and over, 81
cents per square foot. Under 6 feet wide.

Side walks, 21s inches thick and tagging
six feet long or over IS cents per square
foot; inches thick and feet long or
over 20 cents; S1k inches thick and IA feet
long, "a cents.
Asphalt walks, q cents per square foot.
Artificial stone walks, Is cents per

Some Of the councilmen objected to the
estimate on brick walks, but there was
no discussion until they started to vote
on its approval.

JAPAN'S GREAT FLEET.
It is Regarded by the Nation With
Idolatrous Pride.

Yokohama, May (via Victoria, May
16).-One of the great events of the
present year in Japan has passed into
history. The impressive review of the
Japanese fleet by the emperor, while
not so imposing as the great English
display on the queens jubilee, was
in some regards of greater significance,
besides being in itself a conspicuous
success as a picturesque spectacle. The
review was preceded by extensive ma
neuvres of the fleet in the inland sea,
that scene being substituted for the
Korean straits in order to avoid any
semblance of a design to wound Russian
sensibilities.
AS newspaper correspondents were
strictly excluded scarcely any particu-
lars were obtained concerning the vari-
Gus movements of the feet, except that
their general design was to represent
an attack upon and a defense of that
vast body of water which, in the event
of war would furnish to the empires
fleet not only an impregnable haven OF
refuge but also q point of attack from
which on three different sides it could
issue to asSail an enemy. The maneu-
vers over some fifty of the warships, In
Guiding the finest of the battleSh1pS and
cruisers, assembled in Kobe bay, where,
with the hills and shores black with
SPECTATORS, the emperor reviewed the
fleet, which the Japanese now regard
with idolatrous pride.
The financial situation is growing
more and more precarious and the en-
pire is at present standing on very
thin ice. The loaning japanese banks
are offering rates of interest for de-
post, while significantly enough the for
eign banks are at the same time cut
ting their rates down SO per cent.

SCALEMEN CALLED TO TINE
City VIII Enforce Ordinance Provid-
ing For Revenue.

Councilman Hughes got after the
owners Of private scales situated in the
streets and alleys at the council meet
ing last night, by introducing a resolu-
ton instructing the county attorney to
draw UP an ordinance governing and
taxing such scales on which commodi-
ties are weighed for others than the
owner.
Col. Hughes explained that the city is
now losing more than a thousand dol
lars annually because the owners of
scales who do public weighing do not
comply with the requirements of the
city concerning them. All such scale
owners are supposed to give a city scale
ticket with each load weighed. THESE
tickets are purchased of the city clerk
in books of 100, for which the We1gher
pays IS, so that the city derives a reve-
nue. of cents on each load weighed
The Weigher is allowed to charge a fee
of 10 cents for doing the weighing.
These scales in different parts of the
city are an accommodation, said Col.
Hughes. s'For instance if I am going
to send a load of coal over to the east
side, instead of sending the load down
to the city scales and compelling the
team to haul it up hill again, I send it
to some scales on the east side and pay
the Weigher 10 cents for weighing it,
Five cents of that fee ought to go to the
city, but most Weighers don't pay any
thing to the city but they have the use
of the streets and alleys for their Scales.
[ know of one firm which used to pay
$120 year to the city, and now they do
not pay in a cent.
Councilman Warner said this scale
question is one which has been before
the council at numerous times in the
past and is a. hard one to settle. He said
that there is danger of imposing a hard
ship on the owners Of small scales in the
suburbs who do very little weighing but
whose scales are a great convenience
to the people of those localities, if an at
tempt is made to make a fixed license
on scales.
Mayor Drew said that there is already
an ordinance regulating scales, but that
it might cost more to enforce it several
times over than the revenue from it
would amount to.
''I might have to station a man at
every weighing place said the mayor,
but if the council wants the ordinance
enforced I can do it. If the license col
lector is not able to enforce it alone we
will have half a dozen assistants"
Councilman Snattinger said he was
! opposed to enacting any more laws
when those we already have are not en-
forced but he thought some method
ought to be devised for bringing the
revenue from scales into the city treas
ury.
city Clerk Squires stated that only 16
scale hooks had been purchased this
year, but the resolution was voted down
by a tie vote. The ayes were Miller

Councilman Myers also voted no with

turned the votes the other way by saying

bids are low enough, it can reject them

TAGGART In INDIANA.
Growing in Favor For the Democratic
Gubernatorial Nomination.

indianapolis, Ind, May 16.-If tire is
any skill in casting a horoscope Mayor
Tom Taggart, of indianapolis will be
the next Democratic nominee for gov
ernor of Indiana.
Things are shaping beautifully in his
direction The avowed candidacy of
John W. Kerns and ex-District Attor-
ney Frank Burke, of this city, COM
PEELED B f. Shively, of South Bend,
who headed the ticket in 1896 and who
has been .coqueting with the nomina-
ton, to show his hand, which Shively
did last night by declaring his purpose
not to permit his name to go before
the convention This precipitates an
issue. Meanwhile the boom for Tag
CART goes merrily on. Two counties
have declared their preference, and all
over the state there is much favor be-
ing shown the distinguished and ener-
getic mayor of this city, who has never
yet been beaten in any political move
which he has undertaken. In the game
of politics he is a past master, and, as
the Republicans have put up their
shrewdest manipulation at the head of
their ticket, the need of a man who
can checkmate any move the willy Dur
bin can make is very seriously felt. If
Taggart should be nominated Indiana
will be a storm center.
