CITY NEWS
WAIT TILL TUESDAY
Assembly Defers Consideration
of Gas Franchise.

Consideration of the new gas fran
chise ordinance by the assembly last
night was postponed until next Tues
day, when the board of aldermen Will
be invited to participate.
When the meeting was called last
night only five members appeared, a
bare quorum, and an adjournment was
at once taken. For the purpose of ia
cilitating matters Assemblyman Haas
suggested that the two council bodies
meet together as a whole and 1t was
agreed to.
1t was expected that large number
of citizens would favor the meeting
with their presence, but the number
was decidedly small when the meeting
was called. There were not over a
dozen outsiders present. Quite num-
Der arrived later.
Assemblyman Van Slyke has prop
osition which he will offer at the next
meeting, and that is to submit the or
dinance to a committee of representa-
tive citizens and have them return to
the council a report as to their APP
prevail or disapproval of the provisions
and features Incorporated in Corpora
ton Attorney Michaels ordinance.
Mr.. Van Slyke says that the council
could, at the same time, consider the
measure, accepting or declining as it
saw fit, any suggestions made by the
citizens committee.

FIRST BLOOD IS FOR
PREMIER COMBES
He Says He Will Totally Wipe
Out Congregational Educa-
cation.

!. PARIS, Oct. 22.-The first important
debate in the chamber of deputies
since the reopening of parliament on
tuesday resulted today in an unquali-
fed victory for the government. Pre-
mler Combes demanded that the in
terpellatlons, of which there are many,
on the subject of the religious congre-
cations be united with those on the
general policy of the government, and
the religious interpretations were with
drawn. The opposition speakers, NM.
Gauthier and Dansette, dwelt chiefly
on the recent strike riots at Armen-
there's, and Hennebont reproached the
government for not taking measures to
prevent disorder, to maintain liberty
TO work. and for not ordering the
troops to Interfere until houses had
been pillaged and burned.
The premier replied that the cabinet
mad determined to govern with the en-
tire Republican party against the re-
dictionary coalition. Referring to the
situation at Armentieres, he said there
had been plenty Of troops there and the
fact that no action was taken was due
to military commanders. The civil au-
thorities had neglected no precautions.
The government intended to carry on
the war against the congregations as
we'll as war of free thought against
slavery of the intelligence. NJ Combes
announced the governments intention
to repeal the Fallonx law, thus finally
destroying congregational education.
The chamber voiced its unqualified
confidence IN the government by vote
of 1872 to 233.

PORTO RICANS LOSE
FAITH IN AMERICANS
So Says a Speaker at the Lake Mo-
honk indian Conference.

LAKE MOHONK, N. H, Oct. o.
One of the speakers at the Mohonk In
dian conference today was Maj. Azel
Ames, a Boston physician, who was In
the military service at the time of the
American occupation of Porto Rico and
was placed in charge of the vaccinating
of the islanders. He regretted that the
Porto Ricans had not now as much
confidence in American rule as they
had at an earlier date, owing chiefly
to the mistakes that had been made in
retaining SO many of the Spanish laws
and regulations, applying to finance
and the currency system.
Archbishop Ryan dwelt upon the
sanctity of the marriage relations and
the unity of the family and declared
that this should be impressed more
deeply upon the minds of the people,
He said that the charge that the Cath
Ole church was opposed to the Amer
lean public school system was false
The Catholic heart is loyal to America,
he said, and gloried in the freedom of
worship accorded here to all people and
in the educational privileges all enjoy
ed. Catholics had found fault with the
public school system only because it
had thus far neglected the religious
training of the children. This training
could not be left to the home For
many it must be given in the school
or not at all. This religious teaching
must be clear and positive with au-
thority behind it and not simply "a
weak, colorless and fitful instruction in
morals.
Father GansS, of Carlisle, Pa, told of
remarkable results accomplished by
Catholic missionaries among the Occur
d'Alene Indians of the Northwest, who
were formerly the lowest type of saw
ages, but who had practically all been
converted to Christianity during the
past forty years and were notably
pure, sober, Industrious and thrifty
people.
A summary of the work of the Indian
bureau for the past year, prepared by
Commissioner Jones, was presented.
According to it 28.411 Indian pupils are
now enrolled in schools. Twenty-one
agencies We're reported as having been
abolished during the year and the In
dams placed under bonded school SUI
perintendents. Inherited Indian lands
were sold to the extent of A, 494 acres.
at an average price of SIT per acre. az p
gregating over $750,000.

SWITCHMAN SUFFERS
A SERIOUS INJURY
Louis Tarvenier Is Struck by Locomo-
tive and Narrowly Escaped Death.

While working among the switches
at the foot of Jackson street yesterday,
Louis Tarvenier, switchtender for the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail
way company, was struck by an incom-
ing Rock Island train and seriously in
jured. He was removed to the st. -Jo-
seph hospital, where it was found that
his left shoulder and arm and his left
leg were badly fractured. He was cut
about the head and his whole left side
was crushed and bruised. He will re-
cover.
Tarvenier, after throwing a. switch
for a Milwaukee engine which was
working near the crossing, attempted
to get back to the other side of the
tracks by running in front of the Rock
Island passenger. He missed his foot
ing and before he could pick himself
up the train was upon him. He was
caught up by the cowcatcher and hurl-
ed to one side of the track. His escape
from instant death was miraculous.
This is the second serious accident
in which Tarvenier has figured. When
boy, twenty years of age, he lost his
left hand by the explosion of a shot
gun while out hunting.

Canadian Statesman Speaks of Situation
In the Event of War.

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 22.-In the senate
today Sir Mackenzie Bowel, leader of the
opposition, asked fortinformation concern
ing the Alaskan boundary award.
Mr. Scott for the government, replied
that the most important reason why the
Canadian commissioners did not approve
of the award was that 1t was not judi
cial decision. Lord Alverstone had in
the first instance agreed that the center
of the Portland canal should form the
boundary lines. The four islands should
have gone to either the one country or
the other, depending upon the position of
the line through Portland channel. Com
seauently Lord Alyerstone DETECTED the
line so as to throw two of the islands
into the United States and two into Can
ada. That is, Wales and sPearz islands
went to Canada and the two smaller to
the United States. ts 81 nj

the papers declare that Canadians are to

Bids will be received up to Nov. by
City Clerk Redington for the supplying

district.
Specifications for the posts were

bids will be made today. About thirty

ton of the posts after the contract is
let by the council.
The sum of $4,000 has been set aside
for the posts but it is not expected that
as much money will be required. The
Cleveland Vapor Light company, which
is at present doing the street lighting
and owns the posts in use, is the most
formidable competitor for the contract
