VON WALDERSEE REPORTS A FIGHT Chinese Left 250 Dead on the Field -0ne German
 Wounded

Berlin, March 12.-The war office has received the following dispatch from Count won Waldersee:
 "Pekin, March 1l.-In the fight west of Su Ling Pass we had only one slightly wounded. The Chinese left 25O dead on the field.
 Our cavalry, with four quick -firers, pursued the Chinese twenty miles. A bat talion remains at Fen Ping and west ward from the great wall in order to pre- vent a return of the Chinese troops"
 Official circles in Berlin declare that is is impossible to judge here exactly what leads to this.
 The Russian papers are spreading re- ports that the movement there is engin- eered by Gen. Tung Flu Hsieng and Prince Yuan for the re-conquest of Manchuria. It Is to the interest of Russia to circulate this view. On the other hand 1t is be- lieved in Berlin that the Chinese troops near the great wall have but slight pow CT of resistance as the report of Colonel Ledebur's engagement seems to indicate 1t Is also believed that these Chinese troops are inferior to those sent against the allies before the capture of Pekin.
 The statement that Russia insists upon Chinas signature to the Manchurian con- vention rests upon Chinese authority; but Germany has no reason to suppress such information and the fact remains that the agreement has not yet been signed.
 Nothing Is known here as to the. pub .tehed report that German capitalists are negotiating with high Chinese officials for tSa erection of a.':enals at NGn King. Woo CiapS ard other points, but the ru- nor -1 net believed in Berlin.

INTERESTING REPORT.
Workings of Street Department for
 Year 1900.

Street Commissioner John McCartin has filed his report for the year 1900, which is comprehensive statement of the work of his department. The report shows that a large force has been constantly em- ployed on the streets and that many im- provements and repairs have been mace.
 The report further shows that the de- partmeht has been conducted upon an economical basis. the cost being suIa- marized as follows:
 Labor S7579.59, teams $7O55 55,, chert $2299 80, miscellaneous repairs $S56S. s, paw ing repairs $642. .03; total $26, 142.32.
 Special reference is made to the sub ject of street sweeping as follows:
 This very important branch of our work has been attended to regularly Every night, the weather permitting, we have had the machine at work, and in the day time have had a gang of ten to twenty prisoners working all the time; 4,7S4 loads of street sweepings were hauled off. With our best efforts 1t is a physical impossbility to keep the streets free of dust and mud. This Is owing to the fact that bordering immediately on the principal streets are the gravel road ways that cause nearly all this trouble During wet weather the wagons coming off these graveled streets bring the mud on their wheels, which as soon as they are on the pavements is shaken off to create dust in the dry weather that fol- lows. If these graveled streets were kept sprinkled the surface would become con creted, and would not grind out into mud and dust to be borne to the pavements and Into the stores, etc. I sincerely trust that means will be found in the near fu- ture to abate this nuisance by sprinkling all the paved streets and the graveled ones in their immediate vicinity. It would be of incalculable benefit to every person on the streets of Birmingham"
 MT. McCartin recommends that Morris avenue be paved with vitrified brick be- tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, while the same avenue between Twenty second and Twenty-fourth streets be paved with brick on account of the im- mense amount of travelling there He fur ther recommends that Second avenue, be- tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets be paved with brick on account of the opera house traffic. and also on Nine teenth street, between Third and Fourth avenues, because of the new hotel and city hall are to be constructed there.
 The commissioner estimates the value of the property of the department at $S 9S4.2S. tss
