and is hardly suited for italian ex-
port. the bulk of the crop being
French types. AS consequence the
market will be overstocked with that

Wherever the tobacco Is dark and Is

FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING

City officers will be elected by the
general council. which is called to
meet in joint session for that purpose
tonight at $3.50 o'clock. A lively time
Is expected, as two or three states
have been made and rudely broken,
sometimes from outside influences,
sometimes from the lack of adhesion
between the elements OF the slate.
Whether any successful combina-
ton has been effected in the last few
days 1t is impossible to say. Mayor
Smith asked the members of the
over board last night when they
wished to meet and they said tonight.
He told them II they required more
time for slate making to let him
know. as his only desire was to ac-
commojate the members.
He learned today that all the alder
men will be in the city tonight and
he called the meeting. There was
movement on foot for a while to pre-
vent a quorum of aldermen In order
to postpone the election. until jan
uary, but a sufficient number of alder
men to enter into such scheme
could not be haniled.
A mixed ticket is likely to be elect
ed as usual. The principal fights are
over city physician and the license
inspector. DR.. Harry Williamson is
up for reelection and is opposed by
DR.. Bass. License Inspector Robert
Hicks also has plenty of opposition,
and IL the opposition can be centered
on one man Mr.. Hicks most likely
will be defeated. Ed Hubbard was
placed on one slate. which is lying
around in fragments, and Wade

position, although he has not actively
sought it. II seems impossible. to
