Quaint Islanders in FAVOR of
annexation.

St Pierre Miquelon. Nov 3--There Is fierce
resentment in this little colony over the recent
AngIo-Gallic treaty terminating the French
Shore dispute and the Pierrais are frenzied
against the Ministry at Paris because OF the
sacrifice of French fishing rights which they
claim it involves. So bitter is the feeling that
annexation to the United States is openly ad-
vocated. in the cabarets and auberges. as the
alternative ''to this base betrayal of the colony
by the motherland," and excited mob orators
declaim daily in favor of transfer OF allegiance
to Uncle Sam
In view OF the strategic possibilities Of the
isets and the chance that some international
shuttle may transfer them to the American flag.
it is interesting to note that their acquisition
would provide the United States with a de-
tendency which in point of novelty and quaint
ness would hardly be exceeded by any OF the
strange and remote regions that have lately

Stripes.

FOR WINTER City Council Discusses Street
 Lighting

The city council considered the ques- tion of street lighting last night. An offer was received from the Northwest Light x Power Company to give the city street lights at the rate of s3,SO per month for each 32-candle power light and Sl.9O per month for each lt- candle power light. This is about S2 per cent. lower than the city was given lights for last year and 5 per cent. low CT than the revised winter rate. It contemplates a service to last from Sep tember to May l. The matter was referred to the committee on public works and public property.
 The resolution which was agreed upon at a special meeting of the couL- ell last Friday morning at the office of Mayor Keller, declining to consider the proposition from the Northwest Light x Power Company to purchase the mu- uicipal water system of the city and to improve its own system was passed unanimously. The resolutions recite the belief of the council that the com panv would be unable to do that which it agreed to do.
 ArrIuest otL. E. Hudson that he be given permission to change the course of a stream at Tenth avenue and Main street was referred to the health and police committee.
 ". R. Nichols S Co. was allowed Sl377.45 on the municipal water con- tract.
 All the members of the council were present except J, R. Van Cleve, who is out of the city.

Nearly Run Over

". J. MuIyihiu, one of the popular train dispatchers of the W. r. & Y. R, had a narrow escape from being run over by two mountain goats Sunday. He. c. W. Hockett and F. A. Murphy were bear hunting near the big steel bridge of the W. P. N Y. R. when they saw two goats. It was arranged for NIr. Mulvihill 10 make an assent of the tortuouS mountain side so that he might intercept the goats in case Mir. HOckett failed to capture them. When the
 knight of the brass keys was properly
 planted, the special agent start in per suit 0i the goats. They took fright
 and ran for the place Mir Mulvihill was in hiding, and had not the latter done hfs best, be nigh: have been run over. He fired his rifle twice when the goats
 were about four feet away, but he says
 he was trying to scare them. He did sclre them, but that was all the harm
 that was done.

WAR APPROACHES CLIMAX

The evidence seems conclusive that the war ID Manchuria is fast approach ing a climax. The days of Port Arthur are surely numbered. In time the turi- ous bombardment that place is eXper- fencing, together with the terrible as- SaulJs that are being made by the Ja- panese, must have the effect of wearing out the garrison. No men can forever endure hardships such as those that are being borne by the Russians at Port Arthur, and if Gen. Stoessel has not already capitulated, it cannot be long before he will be forced to do so.
 But notwithstanding the stirring scenes that are being enacted at Port Arthur, the center of greatest iuteres, in Manchuria just now is Liaoyang, where will probably be fought the greatest battles that have been waged in modern times. Gen. Kuropatkiu has evidently decided to make stand at that place He has from 10000 to l9O OCO men there and pressing upon him anxious to give battle are 2+o,OoO Japanese under the supreme command of Gen. Kuroki. It the latter shall win the engagements that will in all proba- bility take place in the next few days, there is much doubt as to the ability O, the Russian commander to save his army from auihilation or capture.
 War news will be mighty interesting reading for a few days at least.
