bird out of the contingent fund, it is

flowers to be thrown, was it the Gov

500 of this money was spent by Gov
ernor on trip to Washington to Sc

he get it? The report of the disburse

had made most of the Republicans

and streets should be laid out, how
sewers should be built, and how the cor

ed as regards lighting and numbering.
1t is also proposed to show how a city
can be made beautiful, and how to uti-

Kaiser Won't Have Them on Inter
Den Linden.

London, Oct 3.-The Berlin cores
pondent of the Times says the main
differences between Emperor William
and the representatives of the city Of
Berlin have been thrown into the back
ground by the dispute regarding the adj
visibility of permitting tram lines to
cross Inter Den Linden, Berlin's prin-
cipal and most beautiful thoroughfare.
Most people sympathize with the kali
ser's determination to prevent Inter
Den Linden being disfigured- The ques-
ton, however. has now assum ed more
serious aspect. since it is learned that
certain exalted personages led the Ber-
lin magistrates to believe that the kali
ser approved their scheme, and the
municipality bought the tramway sys-
TENS from Herren Siemens and Halsks
for 10 million marks ($2. 380, 000)-
The incident is regained as another
proof of the lack of regular personal in
tercourse between Emperor William
and his ministers
Tt is stated that the kaiser has now
given orders that the plans for every
architectural project in Berlin are to be
submitted to him Even the journals
most strongly favoring the government
dissent from this decision.
