There seems to be disposition on
the part of some water consumers to
demand water collector to call at
their homes for the payment for use
of water. Unless the taxpayers de-
sire an increase of the tax levy suffici-
ent to meet Il salary OF such an officer,
it will be wise to call at the city
clerks Office every month and settle
up. This an easy matter and, relie;-
ously attended to, will keep down
taxation. In event of failure to paw
water rent on the part of anyone the
authorities should shut the wafer off
Immediately. and in conformity with
the rules established for the reputation

declared that the very government
which was supposed to be after the
trusts was making large contracts
with them.
Mr. Hardwick (Democrat) of Georgia
precipitated a discussion on the Phil
ippine question by declaring that the
retention of the islands was response
BILE for the demand for large navy.
He challenged the majority to make
declaration as to the future of the is
lands.
There was some discussion between
Mr.. Cooper, chairman of the Insular
Committee, and Messrs. Hardwick and
Cochran over the retention of the Phil
ippines and the position of the Repub-
lican administration on that subject.
Mr.. Cooper declined to say whether or
not the intention of the Republicans
was to withdraw from the islands.
Mr.. Bates (Republican) of Pennsyl-
vania said he was glad to see the Dem
ocratic members getting together. He
called attention to the utterances on
the minority side on the Philippine
question and then to the views recently
expressed by Mr.. Cleveland on that and
other subjects. The latter, he observed,
was regarded by certain newspapers as
a receptive candidate. Mr.. Bates at
tached significance to the bringing for
ward in the House of the question of
the retention of the Philippines.
Mr. Williams, the minority leader,
sought to secure an adjournment until
Tuesday, that proper respect might be
paid to the memory of George Wash
ington on Monday. Mr.. Payne of New
York thought it would be more patri-
otto to celebrate the anniversary by
building up the navy, and the House
adjourned until Monday with the naval
bill still pending.

tinent in regard to the possibility that
a European war may ensue from the
struggle in the Far East is not shared
by Great Britain. No power has made
such a complete naval preparation for
every contingency, and yet nowhere is
confidence greater that the hostilities
will be confined to Russia and Japan
than ii is in London. The dispatch
from Madrid that Great Britain in
tends to seize Spanish points in the
event Of war has not even the SEM
blance of probability.
The Associated Press learns that at
the present moment Spain and Great
Britain are on the verge of concluding
an arbitration treaty, and that in 9TH
err ways their diplomatic relations are
closer than they have been for years
past
At the Spanish embassy here it was
empatically declared that the move
ments of Spanish troops were not due
to a warning from Great Britain or
any other power, but were simply and
comparatively unimportant precau-
tions that all nations must take when
one of the great powers is involved in
war.
"All the rumors," the. Foreign ONCE
said, that European complications
are in sight are quite baseless.

THE WILD RUN OF A
BLAZING STREET CAR.
Four of the Passengers Aboard
Were Seriously Hurt.

Were Seriously Hurt.
Pittsburg, Pa. Feb. 20.-A blazing
Lorirner avenue electric car, all brakes
off, with twenty passengers aboard,
raced madly down Fifth avenue early
to-day from Grant. almost to Market
street. For fifteen minutes after the
car came to a stop. it blazed like a
furnace. Four of the passengers were
seriously hurt.
AS Grant was reached, eastbound the
front motor blew out. The motorman
rushed to the rear and attempted to
hold the car from that end. The Sec
ond motor also exploded. and in an
instant the rear end of the car was in
flames.
In the panic that followed, some one
released the one brake that held the
car at the top Of the hill. The fight
back toward Market street began, the
passengers crowding wildly toward the
motorman's platform to escape the
flames.
When Market street was reacher and
the car stopped of itself, several people
were still aboard, although the car was
more than half ablaze.

ONE LIFE WAS LOST.
Charred Body Has Been Found in
the Water at Baltimore.

Baltimore, Feb. 20.-It was thought
that not life was lost in the fire
here, but cT1arred body, supposed to
be that of a colored man, has been
found in the water at Bowleys wharf.
The body is so badly burned as to be
unrecognizable.
This has been a day of conferences
between Mayor McLane and the
Emergency Committee, the Relief
Committee, the board of estimates, the
appeal tax court and city members of
the Legislature, all of them being-di-
rected toward a solution of the SUI
preme problem of placing Baltimore
on the high road to becoming a thor
oughly modern and model city.
The chief questions discussed were
the best plan for widening the con-
gested streets in the business center
of the city and providing the means
therefor, securing a legislative act au-
thorizing the loan of $5,000,000 the in
auguration of a sewer system along
with the rebuilding of houses, the re-
lief of taxpayers in the burned dis
trict, and the relief of those who are
in want by reason of the fire. AS. to
the latter, it was agreed that the
Legislature will be asked to immedi-
ately appropriate $250000 to help the
needy.

CAR Is S0RR0WFUL.
Heartiest Sympathy of other Poten-
tntes Is Expressed.

st. Petersburg. Feb. 20.-The Gar,
according to those who have access to
his presence, feels keenly the outbreak
of hostilities and sorrows at the bur-
dens the war entails. Since the re-
ceipt of the news of the bombardment
of Port Arthur, his Majesty has been
much occupied with conferences and
has only appeared III public on one or
two occasions, to review the departing
troops, or to show himself at a window
of the winter palace to acknowledge pa
triotic demonstrations.
Persons who have seen his Majesty
say he is looking sad and careworn, and
that his well-known kindness of heart
causes him to feel acutely the loss of
his brave men. His Majesty is grieved
over what he considers to be the treach-
erous conduct of the Japanese.
1t is known that the Car has receiv-
ed at least three personal letters from
European sovereigns expressing the
heartiest sympathy. The potentates
are Emperor William of Germany, King
Christian of Denmark, and King Oscar
of Sweden and Norway. The letter
from Emperor William was brought by
Col. Won Schenck, commander of the
Alexander Third Regiment OF Prussian
GrenadierS, of which the Car is hon
orary colonel, and concluded with the
significant words: God is with u.s."
Military activity Is proceeding on an
ever increasing scale, and all is in
readiness for the mobilization of the
entire Russian army, should that be-
come necessary. In a fortnight 100,0
additional troops will be in Manchuria.
Three army corps of Siberian Rifles
have already been organized and a
s.. 4. -. Fr,.- =
also a, brigade of Cossack artillery,
armed with excellent mountain guns.
Although the Japanese seem to be
making Port Arthur one of their main
detectives, military men here do not
believe that they will be able to effect
and hold landing there. The entire
country is strongly held by a division
of Cossacks. which was quietly moved
out to the Far East from the Caucasus
some time ago.

Waycross, Ca. Feb. 2O.-The City
Council last night passed an ordinance,
which imposes a tax of $1,000 per year

This action of the Council was the
result of an effort on the part of sew

desired by the merchants favoring the

the merchants using the stamps, but

RUSSIA MAY OBJECT
TO AMERICAN CONSULS

Paris, Feb. 20.-The Temps, semi Off
cially, this afternoon quoted a high
Russian authority as follows:
Although the United States wish to
send consul to Dalny, it is certain
that the Russian government alone can
judge whether it is desirable to issue
an exequatur to that official. If it
pleases the United States to ask China
to issue exequaturs for consuls at Muk-
den and Antung, it is their right to do
so. But the actual situation confers
upon us certain rights. Manchuria, be-
ing the theater of war. occupied by us.
and recognized by the United States
and other Powers as outside the Chi
nese zone of neutrality, it is for our
military authorities to judge the ques-
ton of receiving these consuls, even If
China grants them eXequaturs.

PLANS OF ROOSEVELT
Do Not Include "a Long Summer Stay
at Oyster Bay.

at Oyster Bay.
Washington, Feb. 20.-It seems prob
able now that President Roosevelt
will be in Washington during the heat
of the presidential campaign this year
instead of in oyster Bay, where it has
been supposed he would remain for
several months. The President has
made tentative arrangements for the
summer and autumn, and they include
a comparatively brief sojourn at Oys-
ter Bay.
Many reasons have induced the
President not to make arrangements
to pass the entire summer and autumn
in Oyster Bay Chief among them is
the practical necessity that he should
be in close touch with the people OF
the country, particularly the leaders of
the Republican party This would be
scarcely possible if he should remain
at Oyster Bay, owing to limited facil-
tiles there.
Some time in the summer or autumn
the President will visit the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition, but no time has
been fixed yet for that visit. While 1t
is possible he may make one or two
short trips in the summer. he has de-
cided that he will do nothing%n the
nature of political campaigning.

OFFENDED BOSTONIANS
BY HIS STATEMENTS,
Arkansas Bishop Talked to Them of
Negroes of the south.

Arkansas Bishop Talked to Them of
Negroes of the south.
Boston. Feb. 20.-Leading Episcopal
clergymen in the diocese of Massachu-
sets deplore the severe criticism of the
negro race in the South, recently made
in this city by Rt. Rev. William NJ
Brown, d. D., Bishop of Arkansas.
At a special meeting last night in
the school room of st. Augustines
Church here, Rev. Samuel G. Babcock,
archdeacon of Boston; Rev. Father
Edward Osborne, superior of the order
of ST. John the Evangelist; Rev. Faith
er c. N. Field, who has charge of work
among colored Episcopalians here, and
others joined in a protest against the
remarks of Bishop Brown. A letter
was read from Bishop William Law
renee, in which he stated that Bishop
Browns views did not meet with the
approval of the Episcopal Church
North nor South.
The Bishop of Arkansas, who has
been here in the interest of missions
in his diocese, left for home at mid
night. In an address at Cambridge
last evening he expressed regret that
his utterances had given offense, but
said he had spoken only the truth.
