Erect City Watering Troughs.

One lola business man has come
forward with a donation of half a dol
lar and the plan to put in a city
watering trough on the east side of
the square. His plan is to put up a
permanent trough of iron and turn
city water into it, the trough being
placed at such an elevation that teams
can be driven up and watered without
the driver having to descend from the
seat or lower the horses heads. The
city will donate the water and the
plan certainly seems to be most ex-
cellent one as the present arrange
ments with wells inside the park fence
which invariably ran low in summer
in not very satisfactory or efficient.

The ELECTORS.
Qualifications Of FlIlpinos Dis
cussed Before The Commission

Manila, Jan. 19.-The section Of the mu-
nlcipal code relating to the qualifications
of electors was muct-discussed today be-
fore the Philippine commission. The bill
requires voters to own real estate to the
value OF five hundred pesos, or TO pay
taxes to the amount of 30 pesos. or up
wards, and be males of upwards of %
years of age, who speak, read and write
English or Spanish. All are required to
swear allegiance to the United states.
Judge Taft. president of the commission
promised TO so amend the bill as to In
clude men paying twenty pesos taxes.
Ruencamno and other Federal party
leaders object 10 the feature empowering
the provincial governors to determine the
legality OF the elections of local officers.
The effect of the section covering the
taxation OF church properties will be TO
largely put the assessment In country dis
tricts on persons 10 whom the friers
have nominally transferred the large
tracts OF land which they formerly claim
ed 10 own.
The friars left all the country districts
during tho disturbed periods. Large
holdings OF land and business property In
Manila are owned directly by the church
md as n similar provision for the taxa
tion Of church properties will be included
In a separate bill for the civil government
OF Manila that question will then be more
directly at issue.

II is stated by certain persons who lay
claim TO superior knowledge, that the re-
quests for these changes comes from
Newport, because the police commission
there desires TO grant six-months' licen-
ses to certain people who desire to open

Whether this is or Is not q fact has not
been satisfactorily shown. but IL has
been shown that the Providence board OF
license commissioners does not approve
the proposed change.

among other things, that whenever any
license for the sale of spirituous or In

McAlister, Campbell and Death showed
indications today OF the terrible strain
they had been under during the trial,
but they all seemed relieved from the
fearful suspense and glad that the
worst was over.

cern than the three convicted men. as
his fate is yet 10 be decided. When he
heard the verdict last night he expressed
surprise and disappointment. and he is
worried over the charge OF Judge Dixon

All expenses OF salaries, advertising, in

city. and are paid by the city treasurer.
II six-months licenses should be grant
ed II would mean Just twice as much
work for the city treasurer, as far as Ii
quor license payments are concerned.
These are the main reasons why the H.
cense commissioners OF Providence arc
opposed to those sections OF the proposed
law which refer to liquor licenses.
What the judiciary committee will do
remains to be seen. but, whether the bill
Is amended or not. the fact is that the
license commissioners are not compelled
to grant any liquor license unless they
see fit TO do so.
