GETS THE TRACK.
Council Acts F%avorably On Mayors
Petition.

Council Acts Favorably On Mayors
Petition.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
1t was nearly 9 o'clock last night
before Mayor Yegen was able to get
the aldermen together in a council
meeting to hear his petition for per-
mission to have a railroad switch
track built from South Thirtieth street
to a point at the ear of Yegen Bros.
store between Twenty-eighth and
Twenty-ninth streets, in the alley be-
tween Minnesota and First avenues.
The delay was caused in waiting for
the arrival Of Alderman Reynolds,
whose presence was necessary in Or
der to have a quorum.
The mayor presented a petition
signed by a number of lot owners
whose property abuts on the alley,
praying that his request be granted,
Yegen Bros. agreeing to keep the
track in repair and to have cars
hauled by horses instead OF engines.
Alderman Bennighoff thought that
in view, of the short time of the pres
ent council the matter should be al
lowed to go over until the new coun-
ell is organized and be settled by
that body. Frizelle movea that, in
asmuch as most of the property own
ers had signed the petition, the same
be granted. Szitnick seconded the
motion.
The vote was four to one in favor
of the proposition.
A big grist of bills managed to
pass muster of the finance committee.
The council refused to allow Williams
& Baxter's bill of $3.50 Tor merchan-
disc purchased on the order Oh H. n.
Bodine while he was in quarantine,
the bill being laid on the table.
The bond of the president and gen
eral manager or the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone company was approved
and accepted.
The sidewalk and crossing commit
tee was instructed to have material
ordered for six of the Is stone cross
ings contracted for some time ago.

AUTHORITIES SHOULD ACT.
People Of the City Regularly Supplied
With Diseased Meats.

In charge of Sheriff Hubbard is the
lower jaw of what was once a beef
steer slaughtered by a Billings butch
err, and the meat from the animal is
supposed to have been sold to the peo-
pie of the city at prices ranging from
- to Is cents a pound, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the animal in ques-
ton was suffering from a disease
known as big jaw at the time it was
killed.
But this one case of reported big
jaw is not the only instance wherein
it is alleged the people of the city
nave been supplied with meat it is said
thatcame o diseased cattle. Men
who have watched the affairs / butch
ers claim that it has been a regular
practice o. Billings butchers for years
to deal in big-jaw cattle and that with
in the past few months they have be-
come bolder than ever in their opera
tions.
Billings butchers laugh at the law
and fear not the officers whose duty
it is to see that the people are pro-
tected from the use of impure and dis
eased food products.
1t is up 20 the county attorney to see
whether or not the health of the peo-
pie shall be protected. The law is
plain and if enforced in the several
instances coming to the notice of the
people of this city recently there ought
to be no further complaint against
the reprehensible practice that has
been in vogue among Billings meat
market keepers.
For the benefit of those who imagine
that there is no way to reach them
for selling big-jaw cattle, The Gazette
quotes as follows the act passed by
the last legislature:
ANY person who shall slaughter,
sell, or offer for sale, for the pur-
pose of food, any cattle having big
jaw or any other disease, shallbe guilty
of a misdemeanor and upon conviction
thereof shall be punishable by a fine
of not exceeding five hundred dollars,
or be imprisoned one year, or both
such fine and imprisonment"

House of Commons Gets After the Ed
itor of the London Globe.
London, Aug. 16.-The house of COM
omns, on the motion of John Redmond,
the Irish Nationalist leader, ordered
the editor and publisher of The Globe,
an evening paper of London (Con-
servative), to appear at the bar of the
house for gross breach of privileges
of the house in accusing the National
ist members Of corruption in connec-
ton with private bill legislation. The
Globe editorial to which exception is
taken said:
''The same spirit and the same mo-
tives which have made Tammany the
synonym for political obliquy have
made the Nationalist party what it is.
Many connected with it are the very
ruck of the population, whose sole OBJ
tect is to make as much money by po-
litical jobbery and corruption as they
can. Any one who has had connec-
tion with Irish private bills, corpora
tion contracts and franchises across
the water can bear ample testimony
to this"
The Globe, hearing of Mr.. Red.
mond's proposed action, attempted to
explain that it had not meant any i'm
putation on members of the house of
commons. "but upon the wirepullers
and parasites who have made politics
in Ireland profession, as their kins-
men have done in New York. L =.

9SS: Held at Navy Department.
Washington, Aug. 16.It is entirely
unlikely that the sessions of the
Schley court of inquiry WillEbe held at
the navy department.. It was at first
thought that the sessions of the court
could be held in the large reception
room ad djoining the Office Of Secretary
Long, but later the officials came to
the conclusion that the room lacks
many of the conVeniences which will
be necessary for the court in the dis
charge Of it's duties. There is no ad-
joining room into which the court
could retire for executive sessions,
and If the sessions were held. there the
general public would have no oppor-
.tunity Of witnessing the proceedings,
owing to the limited space. Many of
the newspapers which desire to be
represented at$the sessions also prob
ably would be barred for the same
reason For II some time the depart
ment has been looking for. quarters

visibility Of having the court sit in
