The city council met in regular
session last Monday evening and
took up The consideration of the
proposition made by A. E. Par
menter for furnishing 20 acetylene
street lights for a consideration Of
$40 per month. A vote was taken
on the proposition and the result
was a tie, so the motion was de
clared lost. The chief objection
seemed to be that the offer of Mr..
Parmenter called for more lights,
and therefore entailed a greater
expense, than the city could afford
to contract for at this time, sespec-
tally when the acetylene system
for city plants is still somewhat Of
an experiment. That our main
streets should be provided with
some kind Of lights is generally
conceded, but while some favor the
patronage of a plant owned by in.

Doubtless the only way to salts
factorily settle the question woul'
be to take a vote of the city.

LONDON, April 2S.-The admiralty

the landing force, says the fighting was
at close quarters.
The dervishes defended their stone

the bluejackets and detachment of
the Hampshire regiment stormed their
strongholds and drove them out, with
heavy loss 1t was impossible to use
the guns of the ships without danger

Title Deeds ON the Way.


Title Deeds ON the Way.
WASHINGTON April 2S.-The at
torney general has received cable
grams from Messrs. Day and Russell,
who went to Paris as his representa-
tives to conduct the closing negotia-
tons for the Panama canal property,
to the effect that the deeds of the prop
erty, archives and all other papers and
documents which will belong to the
United States under the transfer have
already been turned over to them and
that the purchase price of $4O,OO0,000
has been advanced to the canal COM
pany by Paris syndicate of bankers.
This syndicate, it is understood, Offer
ed to pay over the money with view
to expediting the consummat ton of the
sale on the, assurance of the attorney
general that the draft of the syndicate
on the United States for $40,000,O00
would be honored on presentation at
the treasury at Washington.
At the time the money was paid over
to the canal company in Paris Major
Mark Brooke of the engineer corps of
the army, now in Colon, was author
lied to formally receive the property
on the isthmus in the name of the Unit
ed States. Messrs. Day and Russell
are expected to return to Washington
within the next ten days and will bring
with them the title deeds of the canal
property.
Though sympathizing with the efforts
OF the European holders of Colombian
bonds to induce the new state of Pa
mama to assume some share of the for
eign Indebtedness of Colombia, the
state department has made no move In
that matter since the retirement from
Washington of M. Bunau-v arilla, the
Panama minister. Before the minis
ter left Washington Secretary Hay
took occasion to impress upon him the
fact that considerations of equity
should move Panama to an assumption
of some part of the national debt, but
the minister was not particularly inn
pressed, and no effort was made to
bring pressure to bear upon the new
government. The attempt to delay the
payment Of the $10.Ooo0oO to Panama
by the presentation Of the old Colon
fire claims probably will not receive
the Endorsement of the department.

Great Britain in military operations
for the purpose OF coercing Russia.
while France and Germany are friend
" to Russia, it would Be MADNESS for
Great Britain, thus isolated, to at
tempt forcible Intervention. At the
same time, Mr.. Norman points out, it
should be realized that abstention from
Intervention would also produce an
embarrassing end painful situation for
both Great Britain and the United
States by provoking the resentment of
the desired good will of Japan.

lasted for twenty minutes. The Rus
sian fire was too hot, and the gunboats
were forced to turn and steam out of
range.
The Japanese were facilitated in
crossing by their occupation of the is
land of Samalinda.
A st. Petersburg dispatch says an
account given there OF the movements
of the cavalry under Major General
Mistchenko, the commander of the
eastern Cossack brigade, while not Off
cially confirmed, is accepted as trust
worthy. 1t is as follows:
General Mistchenko's Cossacks reach
ed Songjin, on Plaksin bay, northeast
Korea, and after occupying That place
turned north along the Seoul Picking
road and occupied ANU. Not shot
was fred, the Japanese and Koreans
withdrawing. The unexpected appear
ance of Cossacks in the rear of the
Japanese force near the Yalu caused
panic among the Japanese troops pro-
ceeding toward the Yalu from Ping
yang, and they consequently retreated.
The Japanese troops at Pakchon, Ku-
song, Kasan and Chongju did not at
tempt to stop the Cossacks, but moved
toward the northwest by forced
marches
A Newchwang dispatch says that
General Kurcpatkin's deployment is
40 far advanced that 1t covers the very
lines the Japanese purpose to occupy.
Should the Japanese succeed in driV-
ing the Russians north the Muscovite
aPd xry;l
chwang to Liaoyang and from Lao
yang to the Yalu river. The Russian
generals profess confidence that the
Japanese can make no Roadway by
frcntal attacks, while the Russians
can cope with the widest thanking
operations the mikadO's men are likely
to undertake
The Russian general staff has made
the following clear statement OF the
situation: 9oe sti
Before beginning the passage OF the
Yalu the Japanese evidently completed
the concentration of two armies along
the river, accompanied by Generals
Kuroki and Oku. Each army is COM
posed OF three divisions and three re-
serve brigades. The total force is 1Oo,-
bank Of the river are inferior in
strength.
Having perfected the essential prep
aPationS. the Japanese without waste
OF time commenced the passage of the
river, and the Russians realized that
It would be impossible to prevent their
crossing The Japanese front extend
ed from Win as far as Piektong, over
eighty miles. We faced the possibility
that they would cross at score OF
places, and all we could hope was to
harass and impede the crossing, for
every day gained enabled us to push
our preparations and bring up more
men,
The general staff believes that the
Japanese column attempting to cross
the Yalu river at Turenchen suffered
severe loss owing to unexpected she'll
ang by Russian battery from the OPP
Dosite bank, which destroyed the Japa-
neSe pontoon bridge while the troops
were marching over.
The Japanese, the general staff says,
tried to cross the river at six or seven
different points and succeeded only at
one point.
A st. Petersburg report says Rus.
sian submarine boat has sunk Japa-
nese transport which was conveying
600 men to Korea and that all the
treOps were lost.
