A resolution to have King street clean

the Alfred street side of the Peabody
school building.
Mr.. Snowden said a new brick pavement
had recently been laid on that street and

city must set the example if improve
ments were to be made.

to special committee comprised OF
member from each board and the presi-
dents OF the two boards.
Mr.. Marshall moved to refer the mat
ter tn the committee on police. Both he
and Mr.. Spinks protested against what
they interpreted as an effort on the part
of the chair and others to belittle the
ability of the committee on police, aud
Mr.. Spinks asked the chair to relieve
him of any further connection with that
committee.
Mr.. Bryan said he was member OF
the police committee but thought the
chairmeu should serve on the special
committee as they sOmtimes acted as
Mayor and knew something about the
working of the police force. He said, as
a matter of fact, the measures should go
to the finance committee as an apprOpria-
ton was asked for.
After several other motions Mr. Spinks
said that this paper should go TO the po-
lice committee alone.
Mr.. Burke moved the reference of the
paper TO the finance committee, the po-
lice committee and the presidents of the
boards.
Pending this discussion Mr.. Marshall
and Mr.. Williams objected to statements
which had been made by the president
Of the board in reference to the action OF
the claims committee, ETC., and Mr..
Williams construed as reflection, one
of the statements and said he would not
stand for any dsparaging references.
The president said he would not
further answer the remarks of Mr. Will
liams hut discaimed having made any
disparaging statements.
Mr.. Burke's motion was then carried.
Ex-MayOr Strauss hoped that the
committee would not constitute a second
star chamber meeting. He wanted to
be present.
When another communication from
the police commission concerning the
biennial election of policemen came up
Mr.. Williams, sarcastically, moved to
add the chairmen of the two boards to
the committee to which the measure was
referred, saying "these gentlemen some
times acted as Mayor" The chairmen
asked not to be named on the committee,
but Mr. Williams motion was carried.

The German Reply.

Germany's reply to the French note
on the subject Of Morocco was presented
during a conference between Prince Rad
olin, the German Ambassador, and
Premier Rouvier at the Foreign Office
yesterday. While most friendly in
form and entirely lacking peremptOry
tone, Germany's response none the less
maintains the position that the Moroc-
can question must be regulated by con-
ference of the powers without any agree
ment in advance lini iting the scope Of
such conference.
This was accompanied by the presen-
tation of Germany's general point Of
view in such an amicable spiritas to dis
arm the suspicion entertained concerning
Germany's Interior motives.

THERE SEEMS to be some doubt as to
whether the Panama canal will ever be
constructed. The astonishing statement
is made that at the rate of excavation,
ACCOMPLISHED in the month of May, the
completion Of the canal would require
moro than a century. The cost Of the
excavation has increased at the same
time to three and four times the unit
figures which were used in estimating
the total cost of the waterway. These
are the conditions which have alarmed
the President and caused Engineer Wal
iace's return to the United States.

DISPATCHES from Warsaw say that
the luckless Jews in that city are being
made to suffer for the acts Of the social
lists. The latter, it is said, are response
bic for all the disorders, but the police
are afraid to arrest them, dreading as
sassinalion, and in order to induce the
officials in st. Petersburg to believe that
they are doing something the police ar
rest Jews right and left and pretend they
are the turbulent classes. The Jews
have been footballs for certain nations
almost from the dawn of history, and

The Presidents Program.

Harper's Weekly, whose views are
confirmed by yesterdays dispatches,
announces, with an appearance of in
innate information:
There is no doubt that President
Roosevelt is infieXibly determined To
promote. to the utmost of his prestige
and influence, during the coming ses-
sion of the Fifty-ninth congress, the
passage of railway rate making legis-
lation. modelled more or less closely on
the lines of the Esch-Townsend bill. Il
now seems also 10 be settled that he
will urge with equal energy such a re-
vision on the Dingley tariff as will ad-
just some of its schedules To actual
industrial and commercial conditions
While no one or no one who is in pO-
sitiOn to talk. knows exactly what the
president is planning TO say to con
Sress in December the best informed
public opinion incIines to the belief
that Harpers is correct.
The president will emphasize his de
mand for rate regulation with all the
vigor he possesses. There is no longer
any doubt whatever about that. AT one
time the impression prevailed even
ted his urgency in behalf of railway re-
form. But. like all rumors limiting at
: want of backbone on his part. this
has been speedily disposed OF.
IL is not nearly so certain that the
president will urge tariff changes. And
Yet il was with that understanding
that he entered the campaign. The
president is likely TO say something
pretty definite with regard to recipro-
city. But whether he will encourage a
general Overhauling Of the schedules
is in doubt. II he does venture upon
tariff reform, he Will meet with a much
more bitter opposition than his rate
reform measure is likely 10 encounter.
II becomes more and more evident
that the president proposes to make
good. before he retires, ON the reforms
he has announced.

only their experience and adaptability
to the work required OF them.
This is a returning CLEAN of good
sense. The adoption of the age limit
was idiotic in the first place. Some
men ripen slowly. At 40 they are still
in the edge of active life. Experience
and wisdom have come late 70 them;
they are all the more valuable for that.
At so. this class of men are no older
than others at 40 Like Russell sage,
their faculties continue TO develop.
Their judgment natures. and 1t is
sounder. al so than it was at 60. No
one at any time of life would venture
TO play any tricks upon Sage. even at
30.
All these things ought TO be taken in
to account with people who employ
men. II is question of individuality
that can not be settled by any particu-
lar rule. and usually rules are nonsen-
steal any way. especially when dealing
with men.
