NO DANGER THERE.
City and Valentine Bohl VIII Not
 Clash Over New Building.

The people who read the bulletin of our evening contemporary on their way home last evening must have thought that some one was playing n Joke on them for although the fol- lowing head appeared on the bulle- tin. May Spoil Street. Valentine Bohis Building May Upset plans' not a word about the matter could be found in the paper.
 Tha intended item was in all pr0b- ability concerning the proposed street which the city intends to build from West Main street to Robbins street, which may be blocked because of the building which Valentine Bohl cx- rects to erect on his property near where the proposed street will be- gin.
 Under the terms of the agreement with the railroad, this city will build a street, beginning at a point west of the present Union station and go- ing through the old Church property, across the golf links to Robbins street. Some of the land which the city will need for the street is now owned by Valentine Bohl, on which he will erect a new refrigerator, as he will be forced to vacate his prcs- ent building the coming summer AL though Mir Bohl is aware of the in tention of the city to construct said street, nevertheless he is completing plans, regardless of the fact that they will interfere with the new street.
 City Engineer Cairns was asked to- day if the proposed building would not block the street, but he does not think so. He is of the opinion that Mir Bohl will sell enough land to the city. which of course will necessitate a change of plans. so as to allow the street to be built as proposed. He declared that MT Bohl has sufficient property to allow the city to have the amount it wished so the plans will not be blocked.
 Furthermore Mir Cairns is of the opinion that Mir Bohl will agree to al- ter his plans if the matter is laid be- fore him ere he breaks ground for the new refrigerator.
 But it is question whether Mir Bohl will do as Mir Cairns thinks he twill. If the land which the city wants is sold by MT Bohl, hc will have to move his building back sev- eral feet and at present it appears as i though he has no thought of such a thing as it is understood that he is completing his plans without having any conferences with the city off, ! cials. If the city were forced to it, it would in all probab bility condemn | the land.

WATER METERS FORGOTTEN.
Railroad Deal Is the All Absorbing
 Question Now.

Question Now.
 You don't hear much about the water question now. The other day it was on everybody's lips, but since the closing of the deal between the city and the railroad company peo- pie want something stronger than water to brace them up. But after all this so called snap contract may turn out like the singed cat, better than it looks. The extension of Lib- erty street to Bank street at grade is something that every citizen halls, with delight and makes amends fdf many things that have been agreed to and which do not meet with pub lie approval at this time, although perhaps later on those who are now out and out opponents of the plan may be its earnest advocates. The principal objection raised against the contract in certain quarters is that it forces the taxpayers to accept things which they pronounced against in no uncertain terms at the last city election. Of course this is not pleas ant, to say the least. but if it turns out to be good thing people will forget all about that and rise up and call those who had the courage to put it through blessed. Somebody has said that the board of public works unanimously approved the contract before it went to the alder men. This is not true. The depart ment of public works as body took no action on it one way or another. | The records of the department show no such resolution. This fact is men, tioned to disprove the insinuation l that the press was muzzled and that as a consequence the action taken on the contract by the board of pub lie works was purposely eliminated from the published reports of the doings of that body. But what's the use of worrying about it now. Those | who have their eyes open knew Il
 was coming, and so long as this wal so it is just as we'll to have it out oi
 the way and let the city government
 take up something else.

AFTER WALKERS BOND.
Chief of Police Rawlings Back from
 New York.

New Britain, Feb 27.-Chief Will. liam J. Rawlings returned last even. ing from New York. where he was called in haste last Friday night on the Walker case. He did not bring Walker with him, and will not dis cuss any possible clues. He said last night he started for Alabama. but got no further than New York. when the Opelika suspect was identified as mule buyer. He spent the four days in New York in company of dctec. tives on the case.
 The Savings bank has taken steps to recover on William F. Walkeri bond as treasurer. He is under q bond of $1O,000 through the agency of Walker & Parsons, taken out with the Fidelity and Mutual Co of Balti. more, Md. Judge Cooper has notified the company on behalf of the bank. and E. s. Cowles of Hartford, the general agent of Connecticut. has been here to confer about the matter. The formal proof of the loss was made out to send to the company, the first step necessary in collecting the bond, by Judge Cooper at the meet ing of the directors yesterday.
 Judge Nicholson of Bridgeport called on the directors and banks at' torney yesterday and stated the Bap lists were ready to do anything ir their power to assist the directors. He is attorney for the Baptist stats convention.

Terry McGovern, once the worlds

had it before he went into the ring
but still many put up good coin to see
him get it.
Jim Jefferies may become as bad as
Rob Fitzsimmons about retiring from
the ring. Jim came out positively
with a statement that he could not be
induced to fight again. Then he comes
out with the announcement that he
will fight for 100000 to win, lose Of

HILL-HARRIMAN MAKE PEACE
Northwest Railroad War May Be
Settled.

The Portland Oregonian says:
Negotiations are on between Hill
and Hartman, and their differences
in the northwest have practically
been settled. w. W. Cotton, general
counsel of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company, last night ad-
mitted that representatives of the
companies have been negotiating. but
he had not heard whether any final
conclusions had been reached. From
the progress of the negotiations, how
ever, and reports from Seattle, which
would indicate that the local end of
the agreement at that place had been
concluded, there seems to be little
doubt that the Hartman and Hill in
terests will conclude their luminosity
in the northwest.
If any agreement has been reached
it mems that Hill is to have unob
structed entrance into Portland ant
an opportunity to acquire adequate
terminal facilities, that Hartman
will receive similar treatment in Sc
attic from the hands of Hill, and prob
ably that the railroad rate war aloni
the 1orth bank of the Columbia rive
will tease.

Tangier, Jan. 7.-Zinat, Raisuli's
stronghold, was virtually destroyed by
fire and fell into the hands of the
troops of the sultan at noon Sunday,
after a short and almost bloodless
fight. Raisuli and his 700 followers
succeeded in escaping to the noun
tains, despite the elaborate prepare
tons of War Minister Gabbas.
No firing took place last night, but
at 10 o'clock this morning the artillery
opened on the town. The Moorish
gunners showed utter incapacity In
handling their guns and the infantry
fred haphazard. Two shells dropped
inside for fortress without reply and
thereupon a body of the sultan's troops
charged, shouting, and reached the
walls amid desultory shots from the
surrounding brush.
The town gates we're open, but there
we're no occupants of the place except
is prisoners, among whom were foul
Portuguese.
A detachment of the government

of the mountains where Raisuli ant

Meanwhile the other government
