Association Declares Ordinance
Involves City in Danger
of Litigation

The Merchants association has passed
a resolution recommending all voters
10 vote no" on the Egan franchise
ordinance. which is to be voted on at
the election November 3.
The association recommends that the
ordinance should be voted down inde-
pendently of any questions of its va
iidity. for the reason that II appears
10 have been applied for by an ire
sponsibie person. and that IL might
AFFORD an opportunity TO gridiron tho
city with unnecessary railroads and de-
prive the city of selling its franchise
to the highest bidder upon the best
terms.
in its resolution the association has
pointed out the obligations the city
will be placed under, such as being un-
able to grant a franchise to any other
corporation on account Of the amount
Of trackage already on the thorough
fares.
Under the charter Of the city, rail-
road franchises can be granted only by
the supervisors. The supervisors must
first determine whether or not a new
street railway is a necessity and must
then advertise for bids in the Official
newspaper. Sealed bids must then be
submitted and the franchise must be
awarded TO the highest bidder The
ordinance 10 be voted on does not fol-
low the provisions Of the charter in any
instance.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, Oct. FL, via
Colon, Oct. 23.--A disastrous hurricane
swept the coast Of Nicaragua Friday to
Sunday, destroying the towns of Rio
Grande and7Prinzapulka and doing con-
siderable damage in the interior. Only
meager advices have been brought here
by schooner, but 1t appears that the
entire coast from Pearl Gays to Cape
Gracias was swept and there was much
loss of life. The fruit steamer Do
tator is here safe and uninjured.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 23-Rio Grande
Is town of probably 1000 inhabitants,
so miles north of Bluefields, at the
mouth of the Rio Grande river. Prinz-
apulka is a town of probably 1000 peo-
pie, at the mouth of the Prinzapulka
river, and 80 miles north of Blueields.
There are few small banana planta-
tions, but the principal industry is
mining. The mines are located up
these streams and much gold is brought
down to these towns for transshipment.
There was great anxiety over the fate
of the Dictator. but the above dispatch
sets at rest all fears. The finding of
two piros of white lifeboat by the
Oracabessa, which reached port last
night badly storm battered. created
much of the corcern that existed for
the Dictator.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 23.-The fate
Of the Russian proposal to reknit the
broken strands OF the Balkan agree

upon the outcome of negotiations which
M. Iswolsky, the Russian foreign min
lister, will open tomorrow in Berlin.
According to press dispatches re-
ceived here the impression is gaining
ground in several OF the European cap
itals that the proposed conference will
be abandoned on account OF the difficult
ties in the way of formulating pro-
gram, but the highest authorities of
the foreign Office here do not share this
view.
Prince Ouroussoff, the aged ambassa-
dor at Vienna, who is widely blamed
for his failure to inform the govern
ment here promptly of Austria's inten-
tion in regard to San Jak and the prov
inces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, will.
however, be sacrificed. According to
the official information he is turning
over his duties temporarily to a charge

there is little expectation that he will
return to the post.
