cussiou of matters relating to the pro-

Nh SEank of the Comtnittoe on
Streets ana Bridges called attention to
an alley in the Second Ward connect
ing Mowrey and Honeymoon streets,

ing near should be given q name. tie
moved that the alley, which opens in
to Mowrey street at the residence of
the late David Van Sickle, be named
"David's Court - The motion carried
and the alley was declared so named.
MIR. Goeser called attention to the
fact that the Pennsylvania Canal Com
pany from whom permission had been
obtained to remove the canal bridges
have disposed of the waterway to the
ID. L. & " Railroad and he raised
the question whether it was safe to
rely on the old agreement The Bor-
ough had failed to remove the bridges
and the new owners of the canal might
resist any encroachments. such az
would be implied by removing the
bridges.
He moved that the Clerk communi-
cate with the d. l.. & ". railroad
company apprising them of the agree
ment entered into with the former
owners as well as of the fact that the
Borough desires to pave it; streets,

pany.
The Street Commissioner reported
several very heavy accumulations Of
ice III the cutters about town caused
by water which drains into the street
from the Irydrants which are left lun
ming during cold weather He has re-
iieved the situation wherever possible

but on the whole he looks for IA good
deal of trouble on the score of flooded
cellars when thaw occurs.

changes were suggested aud it will be
modified considerably before it is sub

this country is out of sight, as
he termed it, as a fine fruit grow
ing region. In fact Mr.. Fields ex-
pressed his intention of coming

from Kingsville Tuesday evening
and remained over until this morn
ing, on business. The Doctor in
forms us that. he has located at
that place, and has great faith in
the future prosperity of the Kings
vile section. New houses are
constantly being erected, new bus
inesses opening up and a general
air of progress is noticeable. Re-
ports from Kingsville state that the
city now boasts of a population OF
between 800 and 900, and all I'M
provements are of a neat and sub
stantial nature, indicating that the
residents have pinned their faith to
the section just opened up. The
Showers Furniture company, one of
the largest in the state, with
branch houses in nearly all the
principal towns and cities of Texas,
has opened up a frst-class stock
of furniture and is not able to sup
ply the demand, and many other
fourishing concerns are doing a
thriving business. Taken alto
gether the town of Kingsvi1le is in
a thriving condition, and on the
high road to future prosperity.
THE HERALD congratulates our
neighbor of the flowing wells on its
progress, and wishes il continued
growth and development.

at this meeting the question OF ex-
tending the St. L.. B. & M. road
to San Antonio from some point on
its line, probably from Sinton,
would be thoroughly discussed and
some definite action taken in the
matter, but owing to a misunder-
standing as to time of departure OF
their train this morning THE HER
AID representative failed to get an
interview with any of the gentle
men, and is unable to report any
thing of special interest to the pub

General Miles Says War Be

7 Will Be Long

Hartford. Conn.,. Feb. 25-General
Nelson A Miles 10 whom a reception
was given by Company K, First Infan-
try c. n. c., talked for some time
yesterday morning with Major S. Ko-
bazashi, Of the First Artillery, Japanese
army, who is studying machinery here
and buying supplies. The Japanese
officer was highly pleased, and said
that General Miles looked with favor
on the chances OF the Japanese winning
in their fight with Russia. General
Miles said;
my opinion is that the war between
Russia and Japan will be a long and
very serious war. more so than the
majority OF the people OF this country
and OF other countries can be led to be-
lieve. As TO its outcome. or the prob
able outcome that is something be-
yond the power Of man TO conjecture.
There Is rever any knowing how a
war viii end, and while it lasts Il is
terrible.
"Our people should have great cause
to be thankful for these times OF peace,
and as far as this present war is con-
cerned. II is up to US TO keep our hands
Off and let the fight go on. We have
no reason 10 interfere by suggestion or
in any other way.
Il look FOR II to be a long and seri-
Gus conflict with many men IN the
field. In some respects it is the ten
acity OF the Russians pitted against the
cunning of the Japs, strength against
skill, brute force .opposol to craftiness
and take your choice for the winner"

The case involved the suffrage clause

which Giles belongs. The effect of the
decision is against Giles.
After setting out the contentious Of
the plaintiff IN detail. Justice Day said:
NOW It is perfectly settled that un-

and denied In the State Court, we have
no right TO review it's decision, and,
after a very careful examination Of
this matter and a due appreciation OF
