Presently n sentry sped us and gave

scurry and hustle. The trumpeter
made his noise, and some arquebus-

Of the unsoldierlike heretics who were

beyond satisfying themselves that they
had obeyed orders.
But soon n deadly arrow shower
commenced from behind the bulwarks
and from the round tops. by which the

trous. However Buckle was planning
a little coup of his own, and put through
motion to adjourn when the question
OF approval Of the new form came up,
and on Cottrell's motion it was agreed
to hold a special meeting for Thursday
evening TO consider the matter The
president declared his intention OF go
ing after the scheme with a club at to-
morrow nights meeting.
A letter from Chairman Dolly in
formed the council that ne had in
structed the city attorney to draw the
new form of specifications and contract,
and that the only changes were to
make it necessary to have the councils
consent before contractors are per-
mitted to do extra work, and that the
technical part of the execution of con-
tracts Shall be in charge of the city en-
ginger, the physical portion devolving
upon the board
City Attorney Stephens wrote a let
ter to the council, saying that he h$1
drawn the new form on request or
Chairman DOoly, and he deemed II
proper to call attention TO the import
ant changes proposed to be made, so
that the council would be fully advised
in passing upon the new FORM
BY substitutions and eliminations no
less than twelve changes in the form
of specifications and twenty-five in the
form of contract are made from the
forms heretofore in use. IN the speci-
fications the term standard is used
to designate what materials shall be
used in city work, without stating
what standard is, and in both the speci-
ficatiOns and contract the board of pub
lie works is made the party to supervise
and accept contract work, the only duty
of the city engineer being to set the
grade and line stakes for pipe to be
laid.
Attorney stephens added in his letter
hat Engineer Kelsey had advised him
that he had only yesterday been able to
secure a copy of the new form of speci-
fcations and contract, land as the
adoption of this contract is a matter
OF great importance, 1 suggest ana re-
quest that action on it be deferred I'M

anime both contract and specifications

President Buckle DenounCes the
''ROtten City Administration

s'This is the rottenest administration
ibis city has ever had"
So spoke President Buckle of the city
council last evening to some of his col
leagues as the councilmen were leaving
the council chamber at the close of the
meeting. President Buckle addressed
his remarks particularly to Councilman
Thomas and Councilman Robertson.
But these two gentlemen did not at
tempt to defend the good name Of the
present Republican administration
nihcaLtly and looked very sad, while
Robertson. evidently fearing something
worse coming, fell back to walk up
with more cOngenial company.
President Buckle had special refer
ence 10 The attempt to railroad through
an action fathered by Chairman Dooly
Of the board of public works and cham
pioned by Councilman Robertson,
Chairman Davis Of the wate=works
committee and some others, whereby
a new form of specifications and con-
tract for public work was proposed to
be adopted Clerk Whitaker announced
tlat the only change made in the new
form was to Increase to 4 per cent the
maximum variations In thickness of in
dividUal lengths of iron pipe, when, in
fact, it was known by Councilman
Buckle and others that the changes
proposed were many and far-reaching.
one OF the most important changes was
to deprive the engineer of all authority
in supervising the execution of con-
tracts. President Buckle, at the coun-
Gil meeting u week ago, managed to
postpone precipitate action in the adop-
tioi of the new form by demanding
that no action be taken until copies Of
the draft could be furnished each mem
Der of the council. Not until late yes
terday afternoon did Clerk Whitaker
get out the copies, and then it was seen
just what changes we're TO be made.
President Buckle took the trouble to
post himself on the scheme, overcoming
numerous obstacles. and last night he
was loaded for bear.
But the scrap was not pulled OF Rob-
ertson attempted to hypnotic the MEM
bers into agreeing to ratification or
the new form of specifications and con,
tract, by pleading that the city had
some contracts to let the end of this
week and any delay would be disas-

Washington, April 9.-Philander c.

The cabinet meeting lasted about an

required of China. il being brought for
ward by Secretary Hay in connection
with Mr. RockhilPs dispatches received
since the last meeting. Great surprise
was expressed at the enormous total of
the claims which, being all before the
ministers at Pekin, approximate the
vast sum Of 5000 coo. Moreover, at
ieaSt one Of the powers insists on keep
