PRAISE FOR CABLES.
RETURNED SOLDIER GIVES OBsER-
VATIONS OF PHILIPPINE CON-
OPTIONS

Capt. William Edwards, of Minneapolis
and Lieut.. Tibbet, Of Beaver Dam, Wis,
both of the Forty-fifth United States in
fantry, arrived yesterday morning from
Manila. The regiment left Manila on the
transport Sheridan April %, and reached
San Francisco May II, after nearly two
years service in the Philippines.
Capt. Edwards thinks that with the
surrender Of Arahuila, which occurred
just before the Forty-ffth left Manila.
the war in the Philippines is practically
settled. Arahutla was one of the native
generals who gave the Americans so
much difficulty in the war, and he rep
resented about all the resistance that ex-
listed after the surrender Of AgLInaldo a
few weeks ago. Cables has also surren-
dered since the Forty-hftT sailed, and
that assures the end of the war. Capt
Edwards says that, though Cables was
the leader Of guerrilla band he en-
ployed methods of warfare that were far
different than those which are to be ex-
pected from a guerrilla band. On one oc-
casion, when the Americans lost forty
men in an engagement with this leader,
the bodies of the dead soldiers were re-
turned to the American lines under cover
of flag Of truce and not a body was in
any way mutilated nor were the valu-
ables removed from the clothing.
Speaking of AgU1naIdo Capt. Edwards
said that when he left Manila AguinaIdo
was doing all that he could TO induce
the remaining insurgent leaders to sur
render and take the oath Of allegiance
to the United States. Gen. Funston IS
entitled to all the credit that the news
papers gave him for the capture Of
AguinaldO. Capt. Edwards believes that
few men would undertake such a risk as
did Gen. Funston In that expedition
The Forty-ffth stopped at Nagasakl,
Japan, on it's way back, and was
received kindly by the Japanese. who are
very friendly to the Americans. The regi-
ment was recruited at Fort Smelling and
was mustered into service in 1893. and
sailed for the Philippines in August Of
that year. 1t has been in service for
nearly two years. Capt. Edwards will
probably resume civil life for the time
being, but thinks of returning to the
Philippines to enter into business, where
there are splendid opportunities in the
commercial line.

FRANCHISE IS REFUSED
ORDINANCE GRANTING HEATING
AND LIGHTING PRIVILEGES
KILLED
WILL NOT GIVE UP THE FIGHT
Representatives of the Company
Say They Will BE Heard From
Again-Unfair Opposition
Hinted At.

"Unfavorable consideration was the
memorandum tackled on the proposed
heating and lighting ordinance asked for
by the promoters of the new Commercial
block now being erected at Sixth and
Cedar streets, at the meeting of the as
sembly committee on streets neld yes
terday afternoon.
That 1t meant the Sitting of competi-
ton and was against the future interest
OF the city were the reasons advanced by
the members, and in the vote taken only
one was found who thought otherwise,
Assemblyman Wheeler, and he desired to
have the matter continued for another
two weeks.
The prelude to the formal killing came
UP in the shape of a new ordinance grant
ing to the promoters the use of the
streets for the purpose of laying con-
Quits, the only change over the old in
strument being in that it fixed a method
by which the city could figure out its
compensation from the gross earnings,
and a stipulation by which streets de-
sired for conduits should be approved by
the council, before tearing up Of the
same was commenced.
To it's favorable consideration Assem-
blynan Benson offered strenuous opposi-
ton, cOntending that it would prevent
competition by giving to private COM
ing practically in the heart Of the city
without even the pretense Of fixing a
rate that would be reasonable. In few
years, he said, the franchise held by the
gas company would become imperative,
and if the city desired a renewal that
would be to the advantage of consumers
and the city at large it should keep its
skirts clean of private corporations that
would gobble up the best and give moth
l,o11 IL Gov ff-1Y1
chise Of this character the city should
practically receive it's light and heat free
of charge.
In his contentious that the granting Of
the franchise would be against the best
interests of the city, MIR. Benson was
supported by Asseublymen Craig, Dix
and Denny all three of whom spoke
along the same lines.
For property owners along the streets
over which the company desired permits
sion to pass, Attorney O'Reilley appear
ed and protested against the granting Of
the franchise, claiming that the property
he represented, about 600 feet, would suf-
fer by the tearing up Of the street.
Another opposing element also appear
ed in the person Of representatives of the
Steam Engineers association they offer
ing statistics to show that steam con-
Quoted through conduits laid In the
streets was not satisfactory, and neces-
STATED repeated tearing up Of the paw
ing.
With the formidable opposition present
further pleas on the part of the heating
promoters were out of the question, and
the vote allowing it to be killed was per-
mitted.
Though accepting yesterdays verdict
the representatives of the company say
they will not desist, but will again make
another attempt to receive favorable con-
sideration of their petition. 4:hey claim
that the present opposition was instigat-
ed by the gas company, and the Man
haitian Power and Heating company.

LUTHERAN SYNOD CLOSED
FINAL SESSION WAS ONE OF I'M
PORTANCE TO ENGLISH EVAN
GELICAL CHURCH
BOUNDARY LINES ARE FIXED
Three Sectional Conferences Def
nftely Determined UpOn-DenOm-
inatiOn Shows Large An
nua1 Gains.

The English Lutheran synod Of the
Northwest closed it's sessions at the Me-
mortal church yesterday after an I'M
usually busy meeting.
The synod was divided and the
boundaries of the three conferences
which are composed Of the territory
formerly included in that Of the synod
of the Northwest was announced. The
Eastern conference extends from Lake
Michigan to the ninety-third meridian,
which lies twenty-five miles east of La
Crosse. The central conference Includes
the Twin Cities and will extend from the
ninety-third meridian to the Missouri
river. The Western conference extends
westward to the Pacific coast.
The synod took up the consideration of
the home missionary problem, leading to
the support of its own work. A resolu-
ton providing for all Pentecostal offer
ings to be placed in the home mission
fund, was offered by Rev A. Ramsey,
of Minneapolis Rev. Ramsey also Of
fered a resolution to assess the clerical
members Of the synod S. per annum to
help support this fund. After much dis
cussion the resolution was tabled. The
reports show that only four of the
churches of the synod are self-support-
ing, hence considerable aid has been re-
ceived from the East.
The vote to excuse the absence of
Rector Peterson, of the Milwaukee hos
pital was reconsidered on receipt of a
letter from Mr. Peterson. The excuse
offered in Inc letter was not deemed
sufficient, but leave was granted
A short ministerial session was held
to consider a letter received from Rev.
Gray, formerly of the West coast pOr-
ton of the Northwest synod. Mr.. Gray
recently removed into the jurisdiction OF
the Chicago synod but his letters OF
transference were returned without any
explanation. Rev. A J. D. Haupt wrote
Mr.. Gray, asking if any reasons were
known to him for this action. Mr..
GrayS answer was the object Of the min
isterial session, but no recommendations
were made to the synodical body.
The committee on synodical statistics
reported q congregations with 1928 COM
municants and a gain Of las communi-
cants outside Of River Falls and Ellis
worth, which had made no reports.
There had been 252 combinations and f53
baptisms of which 232 were infants and
q were adults. There are 80 Sunday
schools. The congregational gain during
the past ten years has been 1888 per
cent. The congregational expenses for
the year were $27, 329.S4.
The synodical delegates spent yester-
day afternoon in an outing in the city,
taking a tally-ho ride to Indian Mounds
park and making a visit to the state
fish hatchery

naturally enter into rebuilding brain and

He has been in America one year and

has Travelled quite extensively in the

Speaking yesterday afternoon with the
Glo b e, as to the objects of his trip
to America, Dr. Kuczynsld said:
"I am not commissioned by the gov
eminent or acting for the government In
this matter. 1t is purely an independent
and private enterprise. In Germany the
government has no regularly organized
department for the collection of labor
statistics. Some of the imperial, state
and municipal offices do gather some
classes of statistics for their own pur-
poses, but only such as are germane to
their own business. We have a central
labor commission in Berlin, which, I
shoyld say, corresponds to your industrial
commission at Washington. I have been
greatly interested in the conditions as I
found them in America and particularly
so from the fact that those officials with
whom I have come in contact appeared
willing and even glad to give me all the
information they could. In that respect
America ls noticeably different from all
Of the continental countries of Europe;
there is so little of that bureaucratic

While not verbatim, in the abstract
this is the tenor Of a letter that the
board of water commissioners will re-
ceive in a few days from Health Com
missioner Ohage. 1t was dictated last
night by DR.. Ohage after a conference
with City Engineer Claussen and Assist
ant Corporation Attorney Stobbart and
should be in the hands Of the water
board not later than tomorrow.
The conference Of the several officials
interested in the matter was called for
yesterday afternoon at 4:3O o'clock, but
the president Of the board to whom had
been extended an invitation failed to
respond, Mr.. Stobbart, who handles the
interests OF the board, appeared instead.
In his contentious that the cut-offs in
terfered with the continual flow of water
and thus allowed the accumulation Of
scum and other deleterious matter, DR..
Ohage was corroborated by City En-
gineer Claussen, the latter official also
showing that even with daily cleaning Of
the bowls, this accumulation could not
be prevented.
DR.. Ohage also added that many poor
people were in the habit of using the
water from the fountains for drinking
and cooking purposes and in view Of
this he would demand that continuous
flow of water be maintained At the con-
clusion of the meeting his letter to the
board was dictated.
How the demand will be received by
the board at it's next meeting can only
be inferred from the statement of Sec
rotary CaulfeId, who says that the
members are willing to do anything THAT
is right. He says, however, that the
charter distinctly states that no waste
of water can be permitted, and with the
