tive service. He was made bishop at

child to understand in its entirety. A
large congregation heard him. at
.Trimble street in the evening. and

HOW VACANCIES ARE FILLED


There is no question in regard to
when ne aldermen and councilmen
elected Tuesday to fill vacancies, take
their seats. They assume their duties
as soon as they have qualified. For
the Democrats to attempt to keep
them out will look foolish. Here is
the law:
See. 3049: Vacancies I'm Office
How FiIled-Ohicers and Agents
Elected by the Council. Vacancies in
Office elective by the general council,
as now provided, shall be filled by
election in joint session for the re-
mainder of the term vacated Vacan-
cies elective by popular vote shall
be filed by appointment by the may
or for the remainder of the term, ex-
cept that a vacancy in the Office OF
mayor snail be filled by election by
the general council. Provided, that
the unexpired term will end at the
next succeeding annual election at
which either city, town, county, dis
trict OF state officers are to be elect
ed, and ii three months intervene be-
fore said succeeding annual election,
the Office shall be filled as aforesaid
until said election, and then said va
cancy shall be filled by election FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE TERM"
In this case certain councilmen
and an alderman resigned early this
year soon after qualifying. More than
three months interviewed before the
next annual election, and it was the
mayors privilege to appoint until
the next annual election and only un-
til then, and at this annual election
last Tuesday-the vacancies were
filled by election for the remainder
of the term"
The original term was two years.
The remainder of the term" is what
is left. That which Is left of it is
from now until January, 1907, over
year. The alderman and councilmen
elected to fill these vacancies obvi-
ously take their seats at once. The
plain intent of the law is that where
officials elective by the people resign,
the mayor shall fill only until tho
next election, when the people get
chance to elect someone to fill the va
cancy, and after the people have cleo
ted someone, he Immediately takes
his seat and enters into his duties.
No other construction can be placed
on ii. although some OF the present
members are. already stultifying
themselves by referring a question
that has already been settled so many
times in the state, to the city solic-
itor

Auditors Agent Frank Lucas, of
Paducah, deserves credit for the
manner In which he has downed the
ring that attempted to give his office
to others. and when he declined to
permit 1t fought him on every turn.
1t was .announced by the present
state auditor soon after he took
charge of his office, that he had re-
moved Mr.. Lucas and put in another
Mr. Lucas claimed he was appointed
for four years and that his job was
not dependent on the whims and fam
cies of politician. He therefore
Hut up a stiff fight, and has won ev-
1ry point. Some time ago he went
10 work in a certain county and pre-
pared a number of tax suits, after
going over the records and doing
considerable other necessary work.
When he had finished. the county
revenue agent who got wind of H.,
and who was an aIppointee of the
auditor and was in with the crowd
that was trying to down Lucas, had
papers served seeking to forestall
agent Lucas, and using the figures
secured through the work of Mr.. Lu-
cas-. The county officials, who were
.oyaI to the county agent, gave Lucas
cold deal. but nothing daunted, he
fought 1t step by step and a day or
two ago won in the court of appeals.
Mr. Lucas politics is not to our lik-
ng, but we like to see a prosecuted
man down his enemies.

SHIP IN TWO COLLISIONS
Steamer Minneapolis Reports Damage
Done 10 Itself and a Fish
ing Smack.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-Two collisions at
sea, one of which snapped propeller blade,
were reported by the steamship Mime
apolis, which arrived today from London.
The first mishap occurred in a perilous
point made around the Minneapolis by an
other liner, a tramp ship and a fishing
smack Saturday. July o. in the English
channel. Its commander, Captain Thomas
f. Gates, said that his steamer was wedged
so tightly in the trap that his only choice
was which of the other ships to run down
He chose the fishing smack as the least
dangerous and struck this boat a glancing
blow, which carried away parts of its
rigging, but did no other serious damage.
Two days later Captain Gates believes
the Minneapolis ran over a fragment OF a
submarine wreck. Early Monday morning
while the passengers were asleep the
steamer shlvered as from a shock against
it's hull and one blade of the propeller
snapped OFF. Passengers were awakened
and ran on deck in alarm as the steamer
came TO a stop.
After day, however it proceeded on its
way.

elaborate display Of fireworks, participated
in jointly by Canadians and Americans, to-
night concluded the first day Of the exer-
cises of the Sault Ste. Marie canal. The
Canadians contributed literally to the ex-
hibition, and Canadians showed great en-
thusiasm.
Previously to the fireworks display Gov
ernor Warner of Michigan received in the
government park, Vice President Fairbanks,
who took part in the exercises today and
will be the principal speaker tomorrow.
During the day the principal events were
an impressive parade of government and
other vessels, and Canadian ships, up St
Marie river, through the Canadian locks
and military procession.
With the city crowded with thousands Of
visitors and with hundreds of yards of bunt-
ing flying in the breeze from all the build
ings on both the American and Canadian
sides Of the ST. Mary's river, a salute at
sunrise from the government ships in the
harbor opened the two days celebration of
the semi-centennial of the opening of the
St. Mary's ship canal which connects
Lake Superior with the lower lakes. Fifty
years ago the first ship canal around the
rapids in the st. Mary's river was com
pleted and opened, with two locks $50 feet
in length and a depth Of thirteen feet
Today the American canal has two locks,
one SIS feet long, the other 500 feet long
and twenty-one feet deep, while there Is
also a Canadian lock, 1000 feet in length.
More traffic passes through these three
locks than through any similar waterway
in the world In 1904, 5000 passengers
were transported through the canal and a
total of 81, $40 loo tons of freight with a
value of $34O.OOOOOO. The semi centennial
celebration and the erection later of a
monument as a permanent memorial was
made possible by the appropriation of &c.
900 by the United States and $4,000 by the
state Of Michigan, and the contribution of
a considerable amount by the vessel in
| terests of the great lakes
Visitors have been arriving in the city by
| the hundreds since Monday. The two
| days of the celebration were declared legal
holidays on both the American and Cana
| dian sides of the river and business has
| been suspended wherever possible. own
ers of lake vessels arranged the trips of
many of the largest freighters on the lakes
so that they would pass through the canal
during the celebration.
