tion was referred to the Committee on Streets and Lights.
 Colonel Abbott. President of the Street Railway, appeared before the Council and asked that the ordinance relative to the atrical performances be so amended as to fix license of S25 per year on perform ances given at the pavilion and under a suspension of the rules the amendment was offered and passed.
 Hon. H. 6. D. Mallory, l.. F. Jeffries, c: w. Hooper and R. H. Mabry of the Library Committee each addressed the Council in the interest of an ordinance introduced by Councilman Peacock ap- propriating $1.0oo per annum for the main tenance of public library. It was stated by the speakers that if the appropria- ton was made 1t would practically as- sure the gift of $1o,00o from MT. Carnegie for the building and that in case the city was not in condition to make the pay ments at any time the assured subscrip- tions from citizens could be used to meet the emergency. After some discussion the ordinance was passed by a unani- nous vote.
 Councilman Phillips of the First Ward, brought on the struggle of the evening by calling up the now celebrated salary re- duction ordinance which had been refer ordinance has been before the Council for some time and its purpose and effect is to make a general cut of from IS to 20 per cent in the salaries of all city off, cials
 It has heretofore passed the Council been reconsidered, amended. laid on the table. in fact has run the whole gamut of parliamentary tactics Its last appear ance had been at the meeting of Feb ruary g, when upon motion of Council man Meyer, 1t had been amended so as to restore all salaries to the present ba- sis and further consideration was post poned.
 Immediately upon getting the ordinance before the body last night Mir. Phillips began proposing amendments which suc- cessively cut all salaries again all the way from 1b to 20 per cent some offices suf- ferfng worse than others. The friends of the reduction soon demonstrated that they were fin majority and passed amend ment after amendment until the entire salary list had been covered. This was done only after much speech-making and a bitter resistance on the part of the minority.
 At last. just when the question of adopt ing the ordinance as a whole in its amended form was about to be called for two members of the Council. Messrs. Null len and Maas, left the room, breaking a quorum and forcing an adjournment Both factions seem equally determined in begin again at the next meeting which will be Monday night next. the 2Srd inst.
