FACTS ABOUT THE HOSE DEAL.


The hose deal has probably been
made, although it is not yet settled,
owing to the fact that the guarantee
exacted by the city has not yet been
signed. The contract is probably in
most ways not near so satisfactory as
would have been the one with the Ma
tional India Rubber company, which
the city broke. In that deal the city
was to pay s2,625 for $500 feet of
rubber hose. guaranteed to stand 400
pound pressure for five years. which
would make them as good as new or
insure the city new hose, at the end of
that time. As result Of its present
deal the city gets the worst Of the
bargain. 1t was made necessary. on
account Of the delay occasioned by
the peAoslIstion Of the other order,
to Ipl 6kAse emergency hose, which
has NJ yd arrived The city bought
1000 feet of the hose at 81 cents, 9
total Of $50. The committee subse-
quently decided to purchase cotton
hose, and ct 40 cents had to order L..
GOD feet or double the quantity of rub
bar hose, making the cost of this hose
1890. It Is therefore seen that the
city. instead Of buying the 1850 feet
Of rubber hose and paying s2,625 for
1t, has had to pay e2.77o for 1000 feet
of cotton hose and 1. 900 feet of rubber
hose, and It's guarantee is not so good.
The cotton hose is acknowledged to
be inferior to the rubber hose, and
the guarantee for . 400 pound pres.
sure is only on delivery. and after
that IL is required to stand only the
fire pressure, which is 100 pounds,

states, as men cannot handle q
stream when the pressure is strong
er. The CITY has more hose, 1t is true,
but only half of the cotton hose can be
in use at time, which is why it be-
came necessary to purchase double the
amount that would have had to be
bought had rubber hose been selected.
1t is clear that with the 5000 feet
Of new hose bought only 5000 feet
of it can be used at one time, the
1000 feet of rubber hose bought ct
81 cents. and 1000 feet of the cot
ton hose at 40 cents, thus giving the
city 5000 feet Of available hose, at a
cost of s2.770, with a guarantee that

JENKINS is LOCATED.

James jenkins, the young stock
broker who left the city last week for
parts unknown after suddenly closing
out his business here, has been locat-
cd. II is said that be is running an
office in Tiffen, o., and also another
in Missouri. No effort has been made
to spprehend him by the local dealers
who bought stock in his Office. He is
alleged to have skinned them before,
and they didn't know when they had
enough.

CONSULS THREATENED
Cape. Hayden is Reported Held by
a Mob.
Bolnbardment Is Feared. and Pre-
cautions Taken for Protection.

Washington, July 30-Commandtr
Henry McCrea, commanding the Ma
chias, cabled the navy department to-
day that Cape Haytien was in the
hands Of . mob, that the foreign con-
suls had been threatened. that he had
offered them protection on board the
Machias, and that ne had forbidden
the rebels to lombard the city with.
out due notice.
This situation was at once commun-
icsted to the state department by the
bureau Of navigation. Commander
McCres's acts were approved by the
state department, and he will, to the
extent of his ability, see that the
American citizens in Cape Haytien are
protected, and that there shall be no
indiscriminate shooting by Admiral
Killick's little gunboats into the city.
Admiral Killick has been declared
pirate by the acting president Of Hay
ii, and he has also informed all La
lions.
Admiral Killick has with him or
has sent to Cape Haytien probably two
or three light drsught gunboats, for
which the Mschias alone is a match.
The Machiss is Of LII tons burden
and carries eight guns in her main
battery. She has q steel hull and
could, unaided. blow the pirate
feet" out Of the water.
The fact that McCrea has cabled
that he intended to prevent a lombard
ment shows that a bombardment has
been Anticipated without the notice
to non combatants. Killick would
be dealt with severely If he carried
out his threat. Admiral Killick is
cooperating with Gen. Firmin. the
revolutionary leader. who is march
ing on Port An Prince, where there
Is another crisis. A part Of Fir.
MINIS forces are approaching Cape
Hsytien.
The Machias apparently arrived
during an emergency. Had other YES
sells been there IL would not have been
necessary for Commander McCrea to
offer asylum to foreign oonsuls Of all
nations. II Is believed that the con.
suls have cabled the nearest stations
for aid. There is French cruiser ut
Port An Prince. and tho nearest Ger.
man and English vessels are said TO
be ct LaGuara and Kingston respect
lively.
While Commander McCrea can
stop the naval bonn bardment, 1t is not
clear what he could do with the land
bombardment and the anarchy in the
city. The belief here is, how
ever, that IL he reoeivedd call from
the city he would not hesitate to take
his ship in and land all the force he
could spare for the protection OF the
white people Of the city. He would
do this without waiting orders from
Washington.

WANT MEAT
DUTIES REMOVED

Washington, d. c., May 6-An or
ganized effort is being made to repeal
the tariff duties on beef, pork, mutton
and veal.
Recently the price Of these meats in
the eastern markets have risen to such
an eXhorbitant figure that even the
moderately wealthy have been compell-
ed 70 become temporary vegetarians
The high price OF meats OF all kinds
have resulted in numerous bills being
introduced in the house and senate to
repeal the tariff duties and permit the
importation of foreign meats free OF
duty. Representative Sims of Tennes-
see yesterday introduced a Joint reso-
luton upon the subject. II recites the
operations OF the large meat companies
the unusual and unjustihable rise i'm the
price Oh meats, and provides for the
repeal of all tariff duties upon these
articles. Ii is as follows
Whereas. Through the manipulation
OF monopolsts, the prices OF meats
have recently been increased enor-
mously. and thus an unusual demand
for other articles OF food has been
artihicially created, and thew in turn
have greatly adv-Aced in price; and
Whereas, This heavy increase in the
cost OF living subjects the public in
general to unjustifiable eXtortion, and
and cruel upon the poor; and
Whereas, The chief articles OF food
in particular inhicts equally needless
