COUNCIL is
C0ERC|BLE
Philadelphia Aldermen Being
Swung Into Line BY The
Citizens.
MAYOR is CONFIDENT
That Gas Lease Will Not Pass Over
His veto...0ther Faction Is
Equally Sure That It Will.

Philadelphia, May 26-It is the gen
eral opinion that Mayor Weaver. fol
the present, at least, controls the sit
uation in his fight with the Republican
leaders over the proposed lease of the
city gas works. There is much specu
move and developments today are ex:
pected to come from the organization
There is still some talk of impeach
ment, but some of the organization
leaders advise against it at this time
as they say it would serve to
strengthen the mayors position with
the public.
Both Sides Working Strenuousiy.
Philadelphia, May 26.-Both sides
are preparing for next Thursday 8
meeting of the council when, unless
something intervenes, Mayor Weaver
will forward his veto of the new gas
works lease ordinance to both branch
es. Organization leaders have an
nounced that they will have no diff
Guilty in passing the lease over the
mayors Veto Mayor Weaver and his
friends are becoming more confident
every day that they will be successful
in blocking the Organization plans
and that the veto will stand. In this
they have the active cooperation of
the citizens of every ward. Extraor-
binary pressure is being brought to
bear wherever councilman shows
signs of weakening. In one instance
a committee of determined citizens
hunted nearly all night for member
of the select council who was obvious
ly avoiding them. Early in the morn
ing the committee appeared at the
mans house, routed him out of bed
and, while he stood in his night cloth
es, read him resolutions and eXaoted
promise from him to sustain Mayor
Weaver. 1t is claimed that since last
Thursday fourteen members have been
won over to the mayors side, and If
nine more are won over the opposition
will not have the necessary three
votes to defeat the Veto

April 18th and regret to say that there
is no authority under which this de-

this sort. we are quite willing to dis
tribute it to deserving farmers In such
cases, but inquiry in the Department
develops the fact that all the seed we
had for distribution this spring has
been sent out and it would therefore
be impossible for us to do anything
along the line you suggest.
Since answer to your letter has
been unfortunately delayed, am send.

nez Of Santa Fe. also pension agent in

st. Petersburg, May 26-Nothins
further has been heard here of the re
ported naval battle south of the Is
land of Formosa.
Steamers Being Held In Port.
Che Foo, May 26.-All japanese
steamers arriving at this port have
been ordered held here pending fur
ther instructions.
Russian Fleet Assembled at Woo Sung
Using Tau, May 26-The whole Rus
sian fleet is assembled near Woo Sung
and the German squadron at Using
Tau is preparing for eventualities.
Gable Line May Be Cut.
London, May 26.-The Great North.
ern Telegraph Company reports the
Che Foo-Shanghai cable interrupted.
This does not necessarily mean that
the line has been tampered with by
either of the belligerents.
Rojestvensky Divides His Force.
Shanghai, May 26.-There are indi-
cations that Rear Admiral Rojestven-
sky has divided his fleet. Seventeen
vessels of the Baltic feet were anchor
ed at Saddle Islands last night. 1t is
believed that they coaled there, and
from that point will proceed north.
May Mean General Land Battle.
st. Petersburg, May 26-The daring
attempt of the Japanese, May 23d, to
cut the railroad and blow up the bridge
over the tributary of the Tung Lao
River, twenty miles south of the Rus
sian main line from Kuan Cheng Tsu
to Kirin, which towns are now connect
ed by the field railroad, bears a strik-
ing resemblance to the blowing up of
the bridge over the Kains Kair River,
16O miles north of Mukden, by Major
Nanganuma of the Japanese army
just before Field Marshal Oyama under
took an advance against General Ku-
ropatkin at Mukden. Another parallel
of the raid of May 23d occurred while
General Rennenkampffs cavalry re-
Gently was was working around the
Japanese left, south of Fakoman, just
as Major Nanganuma's exploit coincid-
ed with General Mistehenko's raid on
New Chwang in September last. Ac.
cording to reports the raid of May 23d
was launched from Mongolia.
British Steamers Detained by Japs.
Nagasaki, May 26-Three British
steamers which were loaded with coal
at Moji for Hong Kong, have been de-
tanned under orders of the government.
Tactics Puzzle the Russians.
Gunshu Pass, May 26-Japanese
tactics are puzzling. They give away
at the slightest pressure at their GEN.
ter on both the railroad and the Man
DARN road. The Chinese explain the
retirement to trouble among the re-
serves, some of whom they say are al
most in a state of revolt because the
government has not kept its promise
to return them to Japan. The retire
ment of the Japs' center is interpret
ed by some Russian officers as post
ponement of Field Marshal Oyama's
offensive plan because of the bad
state of the roads, but this view is not
shared by all officers.

elk Cents In Addition to Eight
Cents Yesterday.

Chicago, May 26.-A fresh break of
six cents in May corn followed the
eight-cent decline Of yesterday and
seemingly gives complete evidence Of

initial quotation being OF three cents
at so cents. No support was at hand
and the price fell to 81 cents.

WILL 60 1000 FEET
FOR ARTESlAN WATER.

1t is believed that there is artesian
water in the valley at Albuquerque and
the Water Supply Company of that city
intends to sink at least five wells to test
for it. II necessary these wells will be
put down to depth of 1000 feet, in
the hope of striking strong flow of
good artesian water. The cost will be
large but an artesian now would dimin-
ish the cost of pumping and thus the
wells will be an economy.

NOW HA We
THE { MONEY !
Duluth, South Shore & At
lantic Floats Large Loan
in New York.
WILL BUILD FROM THIEF RIVER
FALLS TO DULUTH.
Possibilities That Railroad Will
Pass Through Bemidji if
Constructed.

Crookston Times: That the
Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic
railroad is going to be built from
Thief River Falls to Duluth next
year there can be little doubt. A
prominent manin railroad circles
last week told Thief River Falls
business man that the Duluth,
South Shore & Atlantic road
have provided against circum-
stances that might develop, and
that would stop them. Not know
ing what the condition of the
money market would be next
year the Duluth and South Shore
recently foated a loan in New
York City for an amount sum-
Gent to build and put the road in
running order. The money is
now in a New York bank and will
remain there until next spring.
If the line is built tits very
probable that it will pass through
Bemidji, or very close to this
city.
