PavementS Being Renaired.

The action of Council at its last
meeting, which revealed its determ-
ination of enforcing the order of a
previous session looking to the repair
ing of pavcments seems to have had Il
very salutary effect. Work on pave
ments has been pretty generally in
progress during the past week, al
though there are still several motor
iously bad sidewalks which dare not
be overlooked by their owners.
There are good many property
owners who would rather postpone
sidewalk repairs until next Spring and
who regard the present as altogether
the wrong time of year to embark in
the work. Many of these have employ
ed makeshift methods, patching up
their pavements with ashes or cinder
where bricks are missing or holes OC-
cur in tar walks Such repairs nee
essarily give the sidewalks variegat-
ed appearance, even if it does render
them smooth and passable to the feet.
Whether or not Council will approve
of all the repairs as made remains to
be seen.

Congestion of Freight Traffic

Another evidence of the great traffic
congestion on the Pennsylvania rail
road between Philadelphia and Pitts
burg is the refusal of the company to
for the present. The great bulk of the
coal mined by the anthracite com
panies controlled by the Pennsylvania
and destined for that city, is shipped
via Harrisburg, where it passes through
the classification yard before being
sent to its final destination.
On account of the great congestion
ut this yard and at all similar yards
on the main line, it was exceedingly
difficult, once the cars got into the
yard, to get them out again, and coal
in transit to Philadelphia, which ord
inarily takes but two days, has been a
week or more i'll reaching its destina-
tion. Owing to the great scarcity of
anthracite coal at all points supplied
by the Pennsylvania, it was determin-

LEASE OF INDIAN LANDS.
Hitchcock Sends Papers to the
 Senate.

washington, Jan. 2S.-Secretary Hitch cock today sent to the Senate all the pa Ders on file in his office bearing on the nroposed lease of $40 acres of land in the Uintah Indian reservation in Utah 10 the Florence mining company.
 The company was organized In New Jersey in 1893 and Benjamin B. Odell. Jr., and Henry c. Henderson of New York. Henry c. Payne and Charles F. Pfister of Milwaukee. William Potwin and Le Roy D. Thomas of Chicago ana J. c. Thompson of East Orange, N. J.' were the directors first chosen.
 Mir. Payne was elected President and served until July g, 1900. when he re- signed both offices of director and presi- dent of the company. At the same time Mir. Odell resigned as director and treas urer.
 In report to the Secretary dated Jan uury 5, last the Indian Commissioner stated that the Indians were to be paid n royalty of 5 per cent for the minerals mined. Among the affidavits presented Is one from Francis Larcse who said that he was present at the Indian council and that Agent MytOn stated to the Indians that he had received a letter from Wash fngton; that the government wanted the Indians to sign 1t and that if they did not make the lease the white men would come in and take their lands. while if they signed they would be protected in their possessions Various other affida- wits by Indians are of the same tenor.
 Other Indians who came to Washing ton last December gave their testimony before the Commissioner of Indian Af- fairs to the effect that there were 200 to 300 Indians present at the council and that they favored the lease.

RECIPROCITY HEARING
PLEAS FOR CUBA BEFORE COM f, --yt---- MITTEE. -.
It is Charged That Porto Rico is Reaping All the Benefits Deriv-
 ed from Cuba's Fight for Liberty.

Washington. Jan. 2S.-The Cuban reci- procity hearings were resumed today be- fore the Ways and Means Committee with delegations representing the beet sugar industry of Colorado and num- ber of Cubans representing the planters of the island in attendance.
 F. K. Carey of Colorado. spoke of the development of the beet sugar industry of Colorado and it's bright prospects if not endangered by Cuban concessions, which, he asserted, would rebound to the great advantage of the great American Sugar Refining Company. The claim that Cubans were starving, he said, had been torn to pieces during these hearings.
 Representative Hopkins of Illinois ques- tioned the witness as to whether any concessions to Cuba would injure the beet sugar industry.
 Mir. Carey declared that injury in such case was inevitable.
 Representative Hopkins expressed the belief that a reduction could be made of a certain percentage without destroying the beet sugar industry
 Representative Dalzell and Grosvenor stated that the injury to the domestic producers had been shown by this and other witnesses.
 The other members of the delegation of Cuban planters-George R. Fowler, Joa-
 
 Davis-were heard at the afternoon ses- sion, their statements being along the same general lines as those of Chairman Machado. Commissioner Dagetau. the representative of Porto Rico in Washing ton, said Porto Rico opposed the reduc- ton of duty to Cuba as likely to be menace to Porto Rico sugar exports. AL ready Cuba had placed q $12 duty on Porto Rican coffee, thus injuring her trade, so reliance was now placed in continuance of the sugar trade.
 MT. Mendoza of the Cuban delegation expressed surprise that Porto Rico should east Ter influence against Cuba after Porto Rico had reaped all the benefits of the war which Cuba conducted.
 ''We had the fighting" said Mir. Men doza, land now they get free sugar to the United States on account of our war;
 'We had no fighting to do." responded Mir. Degetau because we received the Americans with open arms"
 w. I. Churchill of Bay City, Mich.. chairman of the beet sugar delegation from that State, declared that the real issue was between the sugar trust and the domestic producers, and expressed confidence that Congress would not cast it's influence on the side of the trust.

CARS STOOD MOTIONLESS
 WHILE PATRONS WALKED
Street Railway Officials Searched for Hours for Lost Current Which Had Escaped
 from MOtOrman.

Desperation was sczlng upon the off, cials and employees of the street railroad company. They assembled in d sort of mass meeting at Court Square. A gen. eral consultation was held and several suggestions were offered for plan of attack upon the problem with which the company seemed beset. It was finally determined that each car of the com were detailed to make close inspection of the vehicles of passage. called cars, by the Montgomery Street Railway Com pany.
 mented with motionless cars as silent as if they were monuments to the dead. Off, ficials who paid hurried visits to these cars found Intelligent Motormen and Erudite Conductors patiently willing away the time smoking cigarettes and looking at each other. It was their yaca- ton from onerous duties and they were making the most of it.
 Toward 9:30 o'clock something happened in the street car world. It brought joy to the hearts of the officials who had been plodding about in the misty rain and muddy streets more than an hour. It brought sorrow to Intelligent Motormen and Erudite Conductors who were again called ito books"
 Paul Revere-like, but minus a foaming charger, an excited employe of the street railroad company dashed from Court Square through Dexter Avenue to the office of the car company. He bore glad tidings.
 We've found the trouble; we've found the trouble,'' he should have yelled. if he didn't "Car No. 4-11-A. standing right there at Court Square, grounded and the current has been going into the mud instead of into the wheels of the cars"
 It would have been very proper for the excited employe to have fallen prone upon the elegantly carpeted floor of the street railroad company after delivering himself of this astounding message but he did not.
 Naturally under the inspiration of such a tragic moment the Superintendent. of the company should. have remarked:
 Well, I will be dad blamed" The record is not entirely clear on this point.
 The message borne by the excited em- ploye was true. The car around which gathered and discussed. the deepening mystery had held the secret. A wire connecting with the motor under the car had dropped upon the damp pavement near the square, the electric sparks were running straight through into the ground. sometimes called terra firma and again Mother Earth.
 The Intelligent Motorman of car No. 4-1l-H looked knowingly at the Intelli- gent Conductor of his car and sail noth- ing. The Erudite Conductor replied with Quillerfan stare as he pulled the bell.
 Along about Il o'clock the cars got on their schedules again and each conduc- tor told his fellow conductor about the fun he had had while resting and earning his 10 cents per hour. ...t

L1NEMAN LOST MONEY.
Negro Laborer Disappears at the
 Same Time and is Arrested.

Ten miles from the city on the road between Montgomery and Selma is camp-perhaps, though this statement should be modified by the far-reaching word "wAs. -
 Now. to start all oyer, as the man said when ne made the inevitable New Years re solution. ten miles from the city on the road between Montgomery and selma "was' camp yesterday--it Is probably there today if the mistake of moving 1t has not been made. A couple Of telephone linesmen were putting in new poles anu strengthening the line generally, some negro laborers being along to dig holes for the poles--in other words to get themselves down into the depths of the earth while the finemen got up into the air-literaliy. But the peacefulness or have a rude awakening. Yesterday af- ternoon one of the linemen made the startling and not altogether pleasing as covery that the sum of $35 in good. United States coin of the realm had taken a sneak unto itself. At the time of the disappearance of the bunch or money it is alleged that one Of the coons A negro shy in. cne leR-had evaporateo. reigned within the precincts of the camp. and one of the linemen mounting a close cousin of the noble steed tnat Colonel Balaam appeared on the pfin- ciple business streets of Jerusalem wlth rode the ten miles between the camp and the office of the Montgomery Cme. of Police. Furious was the pace-Faau .Reyeres somewhat hurried excursion would have resembled something shriv- eied in comparison.
 A couple of patromen were put on the case, to get hold Of negro shy ah oh limb. and at 10 o'clock last night the two pa trolnnen appeared in the office Of the night sergeant with a negro who mourned the decease of an off leg. After cogi- tating over the case and reaching the conclusion that this negro with the shy leg could not possiblv have walked the ton miles between Police Headquarters and the hello camp since yesterday aiter- noon. a second conclusion was arrived ats that the negro was not himself, that Is, not the purioiner of the bunch of money. and he with the shy leg will probably hear the lock of cell behind his oack thts morning.
