AN ORDINANCE
 THAT WAS RAilROAOED

That the council is a swift moving body was exemplified in a startling manner on Tuesday evening when a gas franchise for this city was given away in less time than it takes to tell the story.
 When the council convened the franchise grabbers were promptly on hand with their ordinance already drawn to their liking, and at the prop CT time it was showed into the legisla- tion hopper and ground out without any formality of discussion. investi- gation, amendment or elimination other than to answer to roll call. The grantees asked for what they wanted. got it, and the city got in return for this valuable franchise four sickly gas lights that are proposed to be placed in the city jail. to brighten the hopes and ambitions of the weary willie's" confined therein.
 A valuable privilege and franchise, to endure for fifty years, was fritterei away. given away and donated to g group of Los Angeles capitalists, and at the same meeting a proposition Was under discussion to again charge up the cost of the scavenger service "i Bisbee against the tax payers.
 The council in it's hurry to rush the gas franchise through. did not have time to insert the maximum price to be charged for gas in the city. The council has given away the franchise without any restrictions. whatever and now the people can pay any old price the gas company charges The electric light charges in Bisbee are a. ready exorbitant but are the people promised any relief in this al rection from the proposed new ga> company? There is nothing in the ordinance to this effect
 What was the cause of the seemine hurry to give some one this gas fran chise. without asking some remunera ton for the city in return? Were ths tax payers clsmoring in a loud voice for such action to be taken? NO
 little town over in Sweden has established the most unique tax oI record-a tax on stoutness. Every body below 1855 is free from taxa ton. but those between that weight ant 200 pounds must pay something like s5 a year. Those weighing from 2o' to 27O must pay s6.

ROOSEVELT SIDE STEPPING.

The diplomatic mix-up of the repu5- lican administration on the Russian and Manchurial question is causing a good deal of hilarity in Washington among democrats and some uneasy wonderment amorg republicans as 10 the final outcome.
 It is known here that the remarka. ! bie statement lately given out by As sistant Secretary of State Loomis. during the absence of Secretary Hay. U the effect that the Kisheniff affair and the Manchurian question concern ing the open door policy were inter inspired by no less parsonage than President Roosevelt, himself. When Secretary Hay hurried to Oyster Bay and informed the president that he had played the dickens" in giving Lpomis any such instructions, the president quickly side stepped" and left poor Loomis with the bag to hold.

Secretary Hays recent statement to the effec; that he had obtained Russia's consent to the open door in several important ports in Manchuria has still further complicated matters.

LODGING THE ISSUE.

The fact that the council has city marshal to elect is causing members of that body to break out :n a cold sweat when the time for vot- ing approaches. That this agitation should exist in connection with this particular mater, is passing strange. True. it is a duty requiring some dis play of good judgment and strong craftsmanship, but the council in the east. has disposed of weightier and more impor.a ant matters without even batting an eye. or having some of it's best members absent at the important kou-.
 The council fully intended up to the hour of meeting, to elect a new city
 marshal Tuesday evening. That this was mo- done. was because of legal ai- vice given by the city attorney, 10 the effect that no vacancy in the Of See of the city marshal existed. nor would exist. until August 1st. AL though the city attorney was of the opinion that the action of the council would never be questioned in the courts. stil Aldermen Warner and Ord, believed in holding to the strict letter of the law. and the selection of a city marshal went over until Sat urday afternoon next at 4:3O D. n.
 Members present at this meeting were Aldermen Warner. Ord and Taylor. with Mayor Muirhead in the chair. If vote had been taken at that hour who would have been the new city marshal of Bisbee?
 A poll of those present at this par tcular time gives the following result:
 F.. c. Ord. democrat: c. C. Warner. republican; Jack Taylor, democrat; !. ! Mui-hnad rnnror republican.
 The result of he vote would have been Ord and Taylor for a democrat. with the alternative either Of warrer falling into line, or going it alone fo- a TtUuDlCdn HIS NiipiNc i. The Review is in possession of sut- hcient information to announce that .f the election for city marshal had gone through ss advertised. Harry Jennings would have received the rae -jTey--,t All denials to the con
 1t had been supposed all along that siere was only one applicant for the position of city marshal. and in fact. The Review believes this to have been the case. but during the past three days friends of Perry. Jenpings have become active in his behalf and insist ed that he should accept the position. These forces never rested until they secured a majority of the council on Tuesday evening last, and but for the unforeseen incident, as stated above. the program would have been carried cut
 Some members of the city council as result, find themselves in an em- bar-assing position. They are pledged both ways and hate to go OF record. Promises that were made to Mullen in the early part of the month before the friends of Harry Jennings entered the fight. are liable to be broken and it is claimed that some of the repub- Iican members of the council. who would be supposed to be active in the matter of Mullen's appointment. are painfully luke warm on the subject Tn fact. politics does not seem to enter iato the appointment.

SAVED BY ACCIDENT.
Trolley Car Stands Between Two Fly
ing Express Trains


The following account Of an accident mar
rowly averted is from todays issue Of the
New York Sun:
Although there are two men with flags,
and ropes for temporary gates, at the Long
Island railroad crossing at Nostrand and
Atlantic avenues, Brooklyn, there was a
very narrow escape from serious accident
there shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
part of the Atlantic avenue elevated
structure is being erected at this crossing,
and the Long Island trains run on 4empo-
rary tracks near the curb on either side
The trolley car started to cross the tcrn-up
space between these tracks wlen a train
bound for the Flatbush avenue station and
one headed for East New YOriI were seen
approaching.
The motorman signaled that he intealded
to back Just as the conductor rang for him
to go ahead, 80 as to avoid the train dash
ing along behind the car. So dazed became
the motorman that he shut off the electric
current, and his car stood motionless be-
tween the tracks, while the two trains
passed in opposite directions at high speed,
1t was an open car, and there were men
passengers on the front seat whose straw
hats were blown off when the up-train
whiZzed by.
After the danger was over some of the
women passengers of the trolley jumped
on and ran away screaming.
The report of big accident brought the
police and several physicians to the spot
after the excitement was all over

Of the persons who took part in the Belle

the negro question.
I'm my eighteen years Of service in Con-

the ability of score of negro congressman,
who represented at one time the states OF
Mississippi. Alabama and louisiana" he
said.
1T Is a shame and disgrace to these
states that there are no longer men of color
in their congressional delegations. 1t is
a shame to the nation that the hewers OF
wood and the drawers of water in those
states are not represented by men of their
own class. and until public sentiment shall
be aroused and these states return negroes
to Congress 1t will continue to be a dis
grace to the people of the United States

ing signal was fired at 1925 with the Re-
lance and Constitution to tins westward

too long and the Columbia came down and
swinging round headed for the line on tho
starbOard tack, well in advance of the
other two. The starting times as seen from
shore were:
Columbia 12:3O:4S.

At the start the wind was blowing fully
twenty miles an hour The yachts had
