ROME, Dec. 14.-It is said here that
the transfer of Ambassador White to
Paris is because White refused to re-

PASSES BILL.

A protest will be made by some of
the property owners on Spokane street
at the council meeting on next Tues
day to the proposed alley between Pa
louise and Spokane streets back of
the Christian Church as it is at pres
ent laid out.
The principal objection is that the
alley instead of being laid out straight
through the block as are other alleys
in the city, starts at Alder street and
corkscrews along in a direction par
allel to Spokane street for 200 feet
then turns sharply toward that street.
At the last meeting of the council
the ordinance providing for the alley
went to it's second reading. The prop
erty owners are objecting for two
reasons. One is that the alley does
not serve the whole block because it
only traverses half it's length. The
other objection is that the alley that
is laid out is not straight but alters
it's course twice on account of old
barns and outbuildings.

ers at the council meeting next Tues

probably be taken into the superior
court in the form of injunction pro-
