The committee on streets respectfully
report that they have carefully considered

Ing new streets or about one-Quarter or
the amount estimated by the city engtn-
eer for building new streets absolutely
needed for public travel. On some or
these streets claims have been made for
damages. The report of the finance com

IN THE POCAHONTAS FIELDS.
story of killing of Five Miners Has
Not Been Confirmed.

Roanoke, Va, June 20.-There is lit
tie change to-day in the strike situa-
ton in the Pocahontas coal fields. The
sheriff of Tazewell county is expert
encing some trouble with miners
in the vicinity of Pocahontas,
but so far the Norfolk and
Western Railroad officials have no re-
port of any serious encounters. About
375 cars were loaded yesterday and the
output to-day will be about the same
The officials to-day say that they do
not expect to make any gains in the
tonnage of coal being mined until aft
er the marching bands have worn
themselves out and the other men who
are staying around the old haunts
have laid down their arms. The oper-
ators do not anticipate losing any of
the men now at work
The railroad people have no confirm
alton of the report that five miners
were killed by strikers throwing dyn-
amite into a shaft near Williamson, w.
Va. The story was given out by some
miners who passed through here yes
terday on a train bearing the bodies
of two miners. The boxes bore certifi-
Gates that the men had been killed by
an explosion of dynamite, but beyond
this nothing can be learned.

Italian Ambassador Again CalIA "a.
State End Navy Departments.
Washington, June 20.-Signor Mayor
des Planches. the Italian ambassador.
was again at the State and Navy De-
partments to-day to consult the Of
ficials in regard to the publication of
the findings OF the court of inquiry
which investigated the affair in which
officers from the cruiser Chicago were
involved at Venice. Secretary Moody
expressed his regret 10 the ambassa-
dor that the findings had been made
public, and assured him that the Of
ficials at Washington were in no way
responsible for and did not approve
of it.
Respecting the propriety of the pub
hcation of the report of the court of
inquiry by Admiral Crowninshield, If
it indeed he did give it publicity, it is
said at the Navy Department that I'M
less specially enjoined as to the dis
position of such a report, the comman-
der-in-chief of naval station always
has been allowed exercise of his own
discretion in such matter. So, that as
far as Admiral Crowninshield is con-
cerned, it is said, much depends on
whether he was specially instructed to
keep his report from publicity. The
Navy Department itself has no hard
and fast rule on the subject.
There is a feeling in official circles
that Admiral Crowninshield's comment
on the course of Capt. Dayton in not
attending personally to the defense of
his officers calls for serious consider
alton and that some action should be
taken looking to securing from him a
report on this phase % the affair or an
explanation of a formal character

Quebec, Taken cut Before Judge
CarOn.
Quebec, June 20.-Judging from pres
ant appearances the proceedings in the
CSaynor and Greene case are about as
far advanced as they were five weeks
ago. and the surprise is in store for
those who expect to get a decision to-
morrow morning on the habeas corpus
proceedings.
The accused were arrested here on
May IS, last, and transferred to Mon
treal, where writs of habeas corpus is
sued by Judge Andrews of Quebec
were served on Tailor Vallelee of Mon
treal. The latter brought both men to
Quebec by special train, and imme-
diately Mr.. McMaster, on behalf of the
United States government, moved to
that Judge Andrews had no jurisdic-
ton in the matter, as the prisoners
were outside this district when the
writs were issued. These motions were
argued two weeks ago and judgment
was to be rendered thereon by Judge
Andrews tomorrow morning. How
ever. matters have assumed q new
complexion and no judgments will be
rendered on the motionssto quash the
writs.
This is due to the fact that this after
noon Mr.. Taschereau, on behalf of
Gaynor and Greene, filed a declaration
with Judge Andrews by which he with
drew the writs of habeas corpus served
on Tailor Nallelee in Montreal. In his
declaration he alleges that the juris-
dction of Judge Andrews to issue the
writs has been disputed, and that mo-
tons have been filed to quash the
writs. and that not wishing to have
the writs jeopardized by the question
Of jurisdiction he prefers to abandon
them. Having served the declaration
on Judge Andrews personally, Mr..
Taschereau Immediately prepared new
petitions for Writs of habeas corpus adj
dressed to Hon. C. Langlier. sheriff
Of this district, in whose charge the
prisoners have been for some time past,
The petitions were presented TO
Judge Caron in chambers this after
noon, and were granted and, irnrI1e-
diately served on Sheriff Langlier. The
writs are returnable at $3.50 tomorrow.
and Judge Andrews will render judg-
ment at 10 o'clock on the rule for the
contempt against Detective Carpenter.

ONLY THREE MONTHS COAL.
So Secretary Wilson of United Mine
Workers Figures Out.


Indianapolis, June 20.-It is esti-
mated by w. B. Wilson, secretary and
treasurer of the United Mine Work
ers of America. that the present sup
ply of bituminous and anthracite coal
above ground would be exhausted in
less than three months if there should
be a general suspension of work in
the mines.
According to this estimation, if the
national convention of mine work
ers in Indianapolis, July II, should
vote for a general suspension of work,
in support of the anthracite strike, as
is now proposed, the vast industrial
machinery of the United States would
be handicapped for fuel so that thous-
ands of factories would have to sus-
pend work.
At the coming convention the belief
is that the competitive district-West-
ern Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and
Illinois-will take a hand against a
general strike. These states have con-
tracts that they do not want to break.
The combined vote of the competitive
district with that of Iowa, is expected
to prove strong enough to prevent the
success of the proposition for gem
eral strike.
There is a number of states whose
agreements will expire July l, and it
will depend largely on the outcome of
the deliberations between their opera
tors and miners as to where the ball
ance of power will lie in the conven-
ton.

BRITAIN'S NAVY IN BAD WAY.
Whole Admiralty System Is Rotten,
Says Lord Beresford in House of


London, June 2O-During the discus
sion of the navy estimates in the House
Of Commons to-day Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford, Conservative,
scathingly criticised the deficiencies of
the navy. He declared the whole ad-
miralty system was rotten, and led to
great extravaganza, and that there
was a general want of efficiency in the
navy, on which depended the existence
Of the empire. Every increase in the
number of ships and every improve
ment in them had been the result OF
outside agitation. AS the result of
such agitation, the British Mediterran-
can fleet was now a fourth stronger
than year ago.
1t was remarkable, Lord Beresford
added, that both army and navy off,
GERS were compelled to threaten to re-
sign in order to get things righted.
Great Britain had only 10000 naval re-
serves instead of the $4,000 required and
the engine room departments were
thousands of men short. AS to arma-
ment, both the United States and
France possessed superior guns.
The Secretary of the Admiralty, Mr..
Arnold Foster, denied that the admi-
rally had been influenced by Lord
Beresfords threats to resign. The navy,
he added, had been steadily improv-
Ing, but there was still room for the
reinforcement and intellectual equip
ment of the system which directs or
ought to direct the forces of the en-

Tacoma, Wash. June 20.-The fire
department of this city has sent men,
engines and hose on a special train to
Buckley, in this county, which is
threatened with complete destruction
by forest fires, raging between that
town and Enumclaw, King county. A
great cloud. of smoke hangs over Ia
coma, SO miles from Buckley. The
mountain mill, two miles east Of Buck
ley, was burned to-day. Undoubtedly
many lives of mountain campers and
loggets have been lost.
At Buckley, the efforts of 100 men are
concentrated to save a residence at the
east end of Main street, eight blocks
from the center of the town. If this
house shall burn. with the gale now
doomed. When the Tacoma fire de-
partment arrived the chief said he
probably could save the town.
Enumclaw is threatened with de-
struction by forest fires. The whole
population is fighting the flames, but
the waterworks have been burned, and
the work is difficult The wind is
blowing a gale and much farm prop
erty has already been destroyed.
A dispatch from Enumclaw says the
damage to timber and buildings in the
town is more than 100000.
About forty women and children are
shut off by fire from reaching the
town, and are suffering greatly from
heat and smoke Twenty buildings
and large mill are burning Every
body is ready to remove and wagons
are being loaded
