PHILADELPHIA'S LAWMAKERS
Vote to Lease City's Gas Works for
Term of Seventy-Five Years.
From the Crowded Gallery Came
Kisses ana the Singing Word
''Thieves."

Philadelphia, May 20.-Amid scenes
OF disorder unprecedented in the an
nails of Philadelphia's legislative body,
the city council at night voted
to lease the city's gas works to the
United Gas improvement Co. for
term of rs years for the total sum of
$25, 100000, the money to be paid in
various amounts before the end of
1907. The council chambers and COM
mittee rooms were crowded with ex-
cited citizens, protesting against the
lease to the United Gas Improvement
Co. from l p. M, when the proceed
ings opened in the finance committee
room, until after p. m :, when the
select council passed the bill and sent
it to the mayor.
The climax was reached when the
vote in the common council was an
nounced after three hours debate. The
moment President George McCurdy of
the common council announced the
vote great uproar was started in the
gallery, which was crowded to the
door.

ton, Which Is New and Presents
Many Difficulties.

New York, May 21.-Sanitation and
preservation of health is the one great
problem which confronts the American
authorities in the Panama canal zone,
according to statement given out by
John Barrett, the American minister
to Panama, who has arrived here on
the steamer Advance from Colon. He
considers as alarming the report Of
five cases of yellow fever at Colon
Alarming" he says, because up to
the time these cases were reported no
yellow fever had appeared there, and it
was hoped that the situation was in
hand"
II do not believe in deceiving the
public in these matters" said Mr.. Bar
rett. 1T is far better that the truth
should be known. Existing conditions
on he isthmus present many diff
culties, and, while it is not case for
pessimism, it is not the engineering,
it is not the administration problem
that is confronting us. These are Of
secondary consideration to the problem
of health and sanitation. Here we
have engineering problems that have
been solved elsewhere and can be met
but the sanitation problem is new and
presents many difficulties.
81 am going to Bogota and hope to
accomplish something to establish
more cordial relations between Column
bia and our country. Panama is now
ripe for full establishment of cor
dial relations to Columbia, and all
feeling of enmity caused by the revolu-
ton has disappeared"
In considering the health situation at
Panama as alarming Mr.. Barrett rad
ically differs from Gov. Davis of the

VINO is expected to veto the gas bill.
He is known as the "Much-Prayed- For
Mayor"
From all the gallery came Kisses and
cries Of thieves"
A squad of police cleared the gal
lery.
The agitation against the passage of
the bill resulted in the common council
amending the measure so as to provide
for slight reduction in the price of
gas. The amendment as adopted pro-
vides that the price of gas from the
date of the lease until January 1, 1911,
shall be one dollar a thousand cubic
feet, the same as the present price;
from 1911 to 1921, So cents; from 1921
to 1896, 80 cents; from 1886 to 1856, s.
cents, and thereafter until the expira-
ton of the lease in 1890. so cents.
Mayor Weaver is expected to veto
the bill, and in that event both cham
bers will probably pass it over his
veto. The vote in the common coun-
Gil was IA to 8, and in the select coun-
Gil, 81 to 4.
There is only one democrat in each
body, and both voted against the
lease There is some talk among the
citizens who fought the lease to take
the matter to the courts.

LEVEE BILL WAS TOO LOOSE,
Gov. Deneens Reason for VetOtnE
the Trautman Bill Passed
by Legislature.

Springfield, ILL.,, May 20.-Of the 20
bills passed by the Forty-fourth gem
eral assembly of Illinois and vetoed by
Gov. Deneen, one of the most impor-
tant was Trautman's proposed measure
authorizing the formation of levee
district with the object of construct
ing a levee from Alton to East St.
Louis to protect the country from the
Mississippi overflow.
The governors objection to the bill
was that it was too loosely lrawn up
and gave too much power ito the units
of organization, which would have the
right to construct the levees.

GRIPS UGLY SEQUEL
KNEES STIFF, HANDS HELPLESS,
RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART.
Mrs. Van Scoy Experiences Dangerous
After Effects from Grip and Learns
Value of a Blood Remedy.

Value of a Blood Remedy.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di-
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheuma-
tism, nervous prostration, and even con.
sumption.
The story told by scores Of victims OF
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at tho
base of the skull; another was left tired,
faint and in every WY wretched from
anamia or scantiness Of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
thoroughness of action nothing is known
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes statement that
supports this claim. She says:
II had a severe attack of grip and, be-
fore had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormented me for three
months. I was in badly rundown
state. Soon after it began I was SO lame
for week that could hardly walk. 1t
kept growing steadily worse and at last
I had to give up completely and for
three weeks I was obliged to keep my
bed. My knees were so stiff I couldn't
bend them, and my hands were perfectly
helpless. Then the pains began to
threaten my heart and thoroughly
alarmed me.
"While was suffering in this way I
CHANGED to run across little book that
told about the merits Of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. The statements in it inn
pressed me and led me to buy box. These
pills proved the very thing I needed.
Improvement set i'll as econ as / began
to take them, and it was very marked by
the time I had finished the first box.
Four boxes made me well woman"
Mrs. Laura M. Van Scoy lives at No.
20 Thorpe street, Danbury, Conn. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are equally well
adapted for any other of the diseases that
follow in the train of grip. They are
sold by all druggists.

FRANCE FEARS JAPANESE
Looking Forward To a Struggle
With Islanders.
Recommendation That Millions Be
Expended On the Defenses of
IndO-China.

Paris, May 21.-Deputy Deloncle has
submitted report to the French COM
mittee on naval affairs, that $42, 000,-
600 must be spent at once on the de-
lenses of Indo-China to prevent Jap
anese invasion.
"Indo-China," he says, has only two
enemies to fear, namely Japan alone
or China, encouraged and supported by
Japan. The former constitutes real
danger, for Japan has much to gain
and little to risk, and her isolated po-
sition makes her almost invulnerable
to u.s. She could in few weeks throw
100000 men into Indo-China and easily
REINFORCED this first landing party.
"The first phase of such a struggle
would consist of Japan's efforts to Sc
cure mastery of the sea in order to
reinforce her troops. Owing to Japan's
great superiority in naval forces in far
eastern waters, our feeble division
would not risk decisive battle, but
would fall back on our only naval base,
Saigon.
There it would be blockaded as the
Russians were blockaded within Port
Arthur With our division thus bottled
up, Japan could oppose the junction Of
the blocladed warships with the relief
squadron, and having secured the mas
terry of the sea Japanese transports
would be free to land invading forces"
The report concludes with asserting
that it would be puerile to disregard
the gravity of the situation. Therefore,
it is necessary to make large sacrifices
to place IndoChina in readiness to
