No communication subject has

Count Won Reventlow, in the Tageblatt to-

navies. He says Germsny's first squadron
is always ready for instant service.
1T could" he adds, smash Dewey's het-

The count regards the American maneu-
vers as generally childish. and as always
resulting In defeats Of the hostile feet, the

He refers to the poor Workmanship OF
the West Indian feet, to its insufficient
number Of officers and men and to the low

There was no committee meeting OF the

was plenty Of business waiting. Council
men Karr, Hascall and Trostler we're the
only ones to put in an appearance, and as
that number did not constitute a quorum,
they soon left for other parts. Messrs.
P. wig and Michael Lee. representing
the South Side Second Ward Improvement
club, were present with request for a
$500 appropriation by the council in order
to keep open the John T. Edgar branch OF
the public library at Sixteenth and Vinton
streets until the railway tax cases are de-
cided Shortage Of funds has made this
step imperative on the part Of the Library
board.
THE people OF the south side" said Mr..
Lee, ARE very much worked up about the
closing Of their branch Of the library
They cannot understand why the salaries
OF the comptroller and the city clerk should
be raised 81 800 a year, while their library
which costs only $500 year. must be smut
down"
George Hurst was ready to appear on
behalf of the Prospect Hill Improvement
club and ask that Thirtieth street, from
Seward to Yates streets, be widened TO the
full width. Il is now only seventeen and a

is opened from Cunning to Hamilton, as has
been ordered by the council.
The buildings and property committee OF
the Board OF Education also was present
wishing to present an application for the
leasing of the auditorium on the hfth moor
of the city hall for a period Of ten years
The board owns all but this room on the
fifth floor and has always used the latter,
paying no rent for 1t. Recently grea'
many public meetings and conventions nave
been held in It and more are coming. The
gloomy and forbidding aspect Of the room
and its general untidiness has not pleased
the school board members and they want
to "fx up" the room at cost OF IRON
5000 to $500. Before doing so they wish tc
obtain possession. The walls will be re-
pIastered and repapered and general I'M

NEW YORK. March sd.-Mark Twain has
recalled the days when he was pilot on the
Mississippi in a letter to Governor David
4. Francis, president OF the st. Louis eX-
position, in response to Sir Thomas Lipton's
suggestion that series OF old-time steam
boat races be inRugurated as feature OF

Mark Twain wants a genuine reproduc-

abouts, the use of the torch basket rather
than the searchlight. and the abolition Of
the latter-day government lights, SO that
the plotting would count where the boats
were evenly matched in speed.
"As a spectacle" writes Mark Twain
nothing could add to It except an old-t time
blowup as the boats finished at the home
stretch. But this should not be arranged;
