Street Car Ordinance.

Mr. Mcclure read the ordinance, and
then addressed the council, saying that
it was with some persuasion that he
and Mr.. Whipple had been able to pre-
vail upon Messrs. Hixon and Hance to
have the franchise continued in their
names. Soon after the ordinance was
passed it was proposed to organize
company to take over the franchise, but
it had been felt that the ordinance
should be granted or rejected. They
were ready to cooperate with the coun-
ell and the administration and proceed
in due and regular form. They had no
desire for franchise granted in any
other way, nor had the council. They
would endeavor to meet all possible rea-
sonable demands, and if they could not
get together with the council they would
retire from the field. They as well as
the council must have time to act, and
after the ordinance was passed little
time must be allowed them. (Applause.)
Mayor Andrews announced the APP
pointment of the committee on Ordi-
nances, as follows: Aids. Schroeder,
Gary and Bradley.
The motion to refer the ordinance to
the committee and city attorney was
then carried.
Mr.. Daley stated that the council
should fix the amount of the bonds of
the city recorder and clerk of the NUM-
cipal court, both of which had been
$1,000, and of the city treasurer.
On Aid. Atchison's motion, both bonds
were fixed at the same amounts as
heretofore.
Aid. Schroeder moved that the bond
of the city treasurer remain at the same
amount as now, $4,000, and this was
carried.

G. w. Mcclure of Chicago, who is in
the construction department of the~pro-
posed new street railway company, who
was present with Messrs. Whipple, Hix-
on and Hance, addressed the council. He
said that he was in the city represent
ing the street railway interests for the
purpose of taking up anew the apphca-
ton for franchise, and it was the de;
sire of the interests to have it referred
to the committee on ordinances and the
city attorney preparatory to submitting
it to the council. The representatives
would meet with the committee before
the next meeting of the council.
Aid. Gary moved that the ordinance
be referred to the ordinance committee
TO meet at as early a date as possible.
Aid. Atchison suggested that the ordi-
nance be read, as there was large
audience present and some perhaps had
not read the ordinance.
Mr.. Mcclure said that he would be
very glad to have it read, but that 1T
was very lengthy and had been read
before.
Mayor Andrews said that he had not
yet appointed his committees, because
he had been besieged by gentlemen wish

himself the servant of the people and
had given all hearing. He would now

Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE ten years OF
arrangement between Germany and
Great Britain appears today 10 be COM
ing to an end. and the conviction is
held in government circles in Berlin
that the present journey of the Ger
man emperor to England, taking into
account the events which led up to
IL, Is likely to have an enduring value.
The courtesies which are now being
extended TO Emperor William in Eng
land were preceded, il Is reported
here, by the decision on the part of
King Edward to discontinue his per-
sonal policy of ~endeavoring to isolate
Germany. The English king came to
this conclusion in May. After the in
ternational conference at Algeciras
had completed its labor this policy Of
German isolation was looked upon by
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, the
British premier, and Sir Edward Grey.
the British foreign secretary. as un-
profitable for Great Britain and in
compatible with her aim Of peace
throughout the world. Furthermore,
there was a feeling of uneasiness
among the British cabinet as to
whether King Edwards informal po-
litical suggestions to the various am
bassadors granted audiences by his
majesty were strictly in accordance
with the constitutional practice.
Emperor William had said privately
now and then to members Of his
household that he would visit England
If he was invited and King Edward,
with the approval of the British gov
eminent. sem the invitation in June.
Sir Frederick c.. Laskells, the British
ambassador to Germany. also had
sought for some months to bring
the present visit of the German EN-
peror. Comment on the courtesies be-
ing extended to the emperor by King
Edward is distinctly appreciative and
indicates a great dea Of good will.
Many lengthy articles are being pub
lished in the newspapers on how
much Germany and Great Britain need
one another. Adolph Won Flechner.
formerly secretary Of the German le-
CATION in Mexico City. and now a keen
observer and writer on international
affairs, discussing the visit in Die
GrenzebOten. develops the idea that
the United States, Germany and Great
Britain belonging TO the German pro-
testant world. should draw closer to-
gether and follow In common the same
general international aims. Germany,
this writer strongly insists, should
have no understandings or agreements
with Great Britain Of which the
United States Is not Informed and In
which the United States is not invited
10 participate. This proviso Dr.. Van
Felchner urges should be insisted
upon by Germany preliminary to maxi
ing any such agreement especially in
view Of the existing situation between
the United States and Japan.

unfortunately the senior member was

The different fingers are far from
hHying the same value In the eyes of
the law with reference to their func
tional utilization. Much the most i'm
portant is the thumb, for without it
prehension would be very imperfect.
The hand is no longer pinchers, but
merely claw, when deprived of the
thumb. It may be estimated that the
thumb represents fully a third of the
total value Of the hand. The French
courts allow Is to So per cent value
for the right hand and 10 to 10 for
the left. The Austrian schedule gives
from 15 per cent for the left to 20 per
cent for the right. In Germany 20
and % per cent and even as high as
1913 per cent has been awarded. The
percentage is based on 100 as the total
industrial value of the hand previous
to the accident, a loss of 90 per cent
representing half of the value, etc
The total loss Of the index finger
causes an incapacity estimated at 10
to Is per cent in Austria, l6 to 20 per
cent in Germany, Is per cent for the
geft and 20 per cent for the right by
Italian courts. The French allow IS
per cent.
The middle finger is of much more
importance than the index, states DR..
Meiguan, whom we are citing and who
is no small authority, for a great loss
of force Is observed i'll the hand when
the finger is amputated. Yet almost
>.all the authorities ascribe less iInpor-
lance to it than the index. The Italian
law allows per cent, the Austrian 5
TO 10 per cent.
The ring finger is the least important
Its total loss often does not cause in
capacity. The Austrian tariff assimi-
1ates this finger to the middle one. The
italian law is liberal, with per cent
The French and German tribunals of
ten refuse indemnity, considering the
aneapacity resulting from the loss as
very slight.
The little finger may be compared to
the ring. except in the professions in
which it serves as point of support
for the hand. 1t may be remarked here
that the artist has not been taken into
consideration in these cases.-PhiIadel-
