ion of London newspapers is that Jap

telni affair by restoring the ship to
the Chinese but at the same time it is
admitted that international obliga-
tons have so frequently been thrust
aside during the present var that
Japan may feel entitled to make
law unto herself

council meeting last night with smile
that reached to the farthest confines OF
his ruddy countenance. cts girl" he
said, aud passed around box OF the Gen
eral Arthur brand. While his brother
counclmen were enjoying o good smoke
at his expense the regular order of busi-
Mss was taken up and several important
matters discussed.
The Pacific avenue paving proposition
was brought to the attention of the coun.
eli by a question from Councilman Duevel,
who wanted to know when the work was
going to be done "rhe contract has been
let and the work ordered done, but so
far only about so feet of pavement has
been laid and there is no material in
sight" he said. Some steps should be
taken to have this work done at once.
Let the commissioner Of public works tell
why he doesn't go after the contractor.
Commissioner Welsh said that he had
looked into the matter but under the
terms Of the contract he could not do any
thing. "The demmiage il only $40 day"
he said, "and that is the greatest mistake
ever made. On a contract Of $4,000 he
can afford to pay that. BY waiting n
couple Of months he can get the brick
enough cheaper to more than make up for
the demurrage. The reason the first car
load of brick was laid was to comply with
condition Of the contract which says
that the work must be started at a certain
time. | don't believe the Pacific avenue
pavement viii be finished this year"
Considerable strong feeling was manifest
ed when the councmen discovered what
appeared to be a deliberate effort TO delay
the work. After sharp discussion, in
which Contractor Keasal was severely
scored, the matter was referred to the city
attorney, with instructions to take up the
matter at once

Councilman Belingham. "a short time

TACOMA'S FUTURE DISCUSSED

About 100 prominent citizens lent en-
thusiasm to the talks and smoker at the
Chamber of Commerce last night. Harbor
improvements. the new federal building
and Tacoma future development in general
were discussed.
Congressman Cushman presented the
matter of harbor improvements and dwelt
particularly Oh the appropriation for dredg
ing the Puyallup river. Il would like
to tell you,' said Mr.. Cushman, that
we are going to get all the money neces-
sary to develop our waterway, but there
are difficulties in the way unknown to
the public generally All navigable streams
and waters are under the jurisdiction of
the war department, and that department
must first recommend legislation for i'm
provements before congress will act. The
harbor line divides the waterway into two
parts. on one of which it is the business
of the, government to make Improvements,
and the other must be kept up at the eX-
pense of the city or private interests
Using a map. Mr. Cushman pointed out
that, because OF the present harbor line,
il would be necessary to ask the secretary
of war to have it changed to include within
its boundary the middle waterway and the
Puyallup river before government appropri-
city could do nothing that would be OF
Mr. Cushman said thate the governmen:
had paid for such improvements formerly
but the position was taken now that al
such Improvements were local and should
be paid for by the community to be
benefited. In Nj Cushmnn- opinion, tht

something was done, might get the city
into some more personal injury cases.
"Counoilman Bellingham's street ought to

TIs proposition to furnish free water
for sprnlIling the Yakima avenue speed
way received a jolt from Councilman Salm-
son, who called the attention of the conn
ell to the fact that it was a violation Of
an ordinance for the city to give away
water for street sprnkling.
Assistant City Attorney Anderson was
appealed TO and he read the ordinance
and said; '"The action of the council last
week in voting free water for sprinkling
Yakima avenue is clear violation of the
ordinance"
A motion to reconsider the matter car
iied and the previous action Of the council
was rescinded.
The report of the finance committee
called the attention OF the council TO the
fact that several bonding companies had
refused to furnish bond for the city
treasurer because the charter provides that
the city funds must be kept in the per
sonal charge Of the treasurer. II was
recommended that Treasurer Atkins be-
permitted to furnish personal bond.
Chairman Duevel OF the finance committee
moved the appointment Of committee
of five on charter revision, to remove the
Objectionable features Of this and other
charter provisions.

of the West, and continued:
'',The one great disadvantage the coast
cities have is the lack of plenty of low,
fiat land. A city set upon hill can
never be great, and the trouble with most
cities on this coast is that they have no
room to expand; but there il here in
Tacoma a level valley about six miles long
and three miles broad perfectly accessible
to railways and ships. This is why Tt
coma is to be the principal city in th'
future Of the Pacific coast"
A letter from Senator Foster, on thc
question of the federal building appropra
ton, was read, and Mr.. Curhman said
that he and the senator had the practical
assurance of the powers that be on the
congressional committee that 100000 more
will be allowed, but it was better to wait
for another year or so, and undoubtedly
they would get $l,00O,000. Upon motion
Of Mr.. Whitehouse this position wa
unanimously endorsed as the sense Of the

on the day of the murder, Steele waited
