NEW ALARM SYSTEM
COUNCIL FAvoRS ESTABLISH
 MENT OF NEW ALARMS.
The Committee Reports Present Fire Alarm System Obsolete and Out of Date and Recom-
 mends Improvement.

The Council went on record Monday night as favoring the putting in of a new fire alarm system, although no an- proprlation therefor was made.
 Tho Committe on Fire in an exhaustive report set out that tho present system of fire alarms was old and inadequate and recommended the purchase of a Gamewell Fire Alarm System. The re- port was adopted
 It was as follows:
 To the Honorable City Council:
 Gentlemen-We, your Committee on Fire to whom was referred the communi- cation from the Mayor and City Electrl- clan, as to the condition of the present fire alarm system, beg leave to report that in company with the Chief of the Fire Department and the City Electrician we examined said appartus and found 1t to be in very bad condition and away behind the times.

 The Richmond Times-Despatch quotes a prominent Democrat at Washington as saying, in respect to possible candidates of the Democracy this year for President, that "the Hon. John Sharp Williams of Mississippi Is barred from the nomination by his place of birth and Mir. William R. Hearst is by nigh everything else" Upon which The New York Sun makes thls comment

 The Police Department was conspicuous by its absence at the meeting. Only once did it come before the Council.
 The rules adopted by the Police Com mittee fixing the qualifications for the positions of officers and patrolmen came up for its final passage. The ordinance provides that every ofticer of the depart fnent except the Chief must perform at least one years service as a patrolmari before he can qualify to be an officer and provides that every patrolman must be a qualihed eiector. have ability to write and speak the English language, and be strong mentally and physically.
 Objection was raised by Alderman Gunter on the provision that policeman must be a qualified elector. He thought that would to an extent foster the talked of political machinery of the department. Alderman Forbes offered an amend ment that every officer of the city receiv- ing over $50 @ month must come up to the requirements as to suffrage. The amend ment was adopted. but the ordinance was defeated by the following vote: Ayes-President Mcintyre, Aldermen Griffith. Maddox. Ruth. Ryan.

GIVES CANAL SECRET
PANAMA COMPANIES AGENT IN
 DICTs COLOMBIA.
Says Southern Republic Tried $12,- 900, 900 Hold Up His Concern Refused to Pay Sum to Bribe
 its Congress.

Washington Special to Chicago Chronicle
 Colombia rejected the Hay HerraF canal treaty because the new Panama Canal Company would not pay $l2, 900, ,OOt for it's ratification. A formal demand was made for the payment of that sum When the company persistently refused the treaty was defeated under the bellei that next October the concession to the company would expire and Colombia would obtain the canal and be able to sell 1t at her own price to the United States. thus realizing all the prohts &C., cruing from the transaction.
 William Nelson Cromwell, general coun- sel for the new Panama Canal Company tonight admitted for the first time that Colombia had attempted to hold up" the company, but was prevented from being successful through his efforts. Il absolutely refused to grant Colombia's written demand for 60.00C,OOO francs from the canal company" he said. when the Hay-Herran treaty was pending. l shall refuse to pay her penny as price for peace in her pending groundless suits in Paris"
 Denies Report of Hitch Now.
 Commenting on the report that seri- ous hitch has arisen in connection with transferring canal property titles to the United States, Mir. Cromwell said: NO hitch has arisen in the closing of the titles. no sudden discovery on the part of officials of the government has been made on any subject, for there is nothing not already known by them. No lack of authority to close the transaction exists and no time limit of any sort has been set by anybody for the delivery or the property
 "Thc precise condition of the title anu the authority of tho company to convey ii has been exhaustively examined by the Attorney General and has been found sat- isfactory in every respect
 ''The suit brought by Colombia in Paris has been carefully examined by us all and is without any basis. It will up- douhtedly be promptly dismissed by the court and no serious importance Is at tached to it. Colombia, having been de- feated on the isthmus and in its sibse- nuent efforts to force the United States. to nav money indemnity. has as last resort sought to delay at Paris the trans fer of title and thus endeavor to force tho United States to terms. No con- siderat!on will be paid to this proceed ing.
 "Tbe actual transfer of the property of inc Panama Canal and Panama Rail- road Companies in Paris and on the isthmus involves many formalities which of course, could not be undertaken until after the final conclusion of the treaty hotwcen the United States and Panama but ten days ago. The magnitude of ench |; transaction concerning property and interests located on two continents necessarily requires time, while the final meeting of dissolution of the company in paris at which the necessary documents will be presented. must by law be held on a stated notice.
 "That meeting will be held April 20, inc earliest practicable date, especially in view of the fact that Easter holidays occur in France between March 27 and April Il.

TOOK A STRAW VOTE,
Interesting Experiment in a Res
 taurant.

An advertising agent, representing a prominent New York magazine. while on a recent Western trip, was dining one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant.
 While waiting for his order he glanced over his newspaper and noticed the ad- vertisement of well-known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. as he himselfe was regular user of the tablets. he began speculating as to how many of the other travelling men in the dining room were also friends of the pop- ular remedy for indigestion.
 He says I counted twenty-three men at the tables and in the hotel office took the trouble to interview them and was surprised to learn that nine of the twen- ty-three made a practice of taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets af. ter each meal
 One of them told me he had suffered SO much from stomach trouble that at one time he had been obliged to quit the road but since using stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets had been entirely free from indiees- ton. but he continued their use espc- cially while travelling, on account of IT, regularity in meals and because like all travelling men. he was often obliged to eat what he could get and not always what he wanted.
 Another, who looked the picture of health, said he never ate a meal without taking a Stuart Tablet afterward because he could eat what he pleased and when he pleased without fear of sleepless night or any other trouble.
 Still another used them because he was subject to gas on stomach, causing pres sure on heart and lungs, shortness ot breath and distress in chest. which he nc longer experienced since uslng the tab lets regularly.
 Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets was the only safe remedy he had ever found for sour stomach and acidity. He had formerly used common soda to relieve the trouble. but the tab lets were much better and saftcr to use
 After smoking. drinking or other cx. cesses which weaken the digestive organs nothing restores the stomach to q healthy. wholesome condition so effect. ually as Stuart's Tablets.
