The OIL burned fol April was TN
usually, and, apparently, unreas.
0nabiy large, considering The tact
that the nights were growing
shorter. the merchants closing ear
lier and the fans not running *
cept the last two or three days oi
the month. All other features Of
the Engineer department were re
pOrtedas being i'm satisfactory con
dition.
The Electricians report for the
month of April indicated that he
had installed 81 new lights on
meeters and that 10 lights. of the
fiat rate, had been discontinued.
During the month Il fans had
been cut in for the Summer service.
The plants starting out with more
fans this year thai ever before
The Secretary's report showed
the effect of the approaching sum
mer upon the revenues of the
plant. The gross receipts, for wa
ter and lights, for April amounted
to but *1296.19 while the operat-
ing expense amounted to S14l5.92,
showing a loss of Sll9.73 for the
N onth.
While the water revenue for |
April is the greatest ever earned
by the plant in any one month
the light revenue has fallen con-
slderably behind what may be con-
sidered an average. There are
many reasons for this. One IS the
large number OF private lighting
plants which have been installed
during the past few months,
aisplacing large numbers of
lights from which the plant
formerly drew revenue. This
loss has not been quite compensa-
ted by new installations by the
plant Another reason for the
of the revenues is the
Fact that the cool weather hung
IN unusually long this year. Last
year the fan service added S113
% to the total April revenues
This year, nothing.
The commissioners then took up
he question Of fuel Their con
;ract for oil had expired. Several

time Yesterday An endless stream OF
humanity flowed into the store to have
Cooper explain his theories and medi-
zines, and most of the time II was i
difficult matter to get within speaking
distance of him.
Among Cooper's callers were some
enthusiasts on the subject of his treat
ment who have become convinced his
claims are genuine, and several or
these people expressed themselves
forcibly in explaining the reason for
their belief in the man. A sample Is
the following statement by Eugene y.

ach trouble. | had no desire to eat,

friends about Cooper and his medi-
cines. l was persuaded to give them a

PARIS, March 25.-It is understood in
official circles that the Balkan situa-
ton, on account of the irreconcilable
attitude of Austria Hungary, has now
reached it's most acute stage, and that
a few days win decide between peace
or war.
The efforts of Great Britain, France

garian minister of foreign affairs, hav-
ing failed, Austro- Hungary is expected
forthwith to deliver an ultimatum at

After this, if Servia refuses to make
complete surrender, officials here think
that Austria Hungary will dispatch an
army across the frontier.

precautionary measures have been
taken on account of the tension of the

officially advised that Russia had
agreed to accept without reserve the
annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina

can war and the consequent occupation
of the islands by the United States has
ruined the coffee industry, the most inl-
portant in the island. and that the ex-
ecutive council, composed largely or
Americans, is responsible entirely Tor
the present crisis, were the declarations
made last night by Luis Munoz Ri
vera, chairman of the commission now
here.
The commission was appointed by the
house of. delegates to lay before Presi-
dent Taft congress and the American
people the reasons for the existing con-
ditions in the island and to ask for
concessions, both in the form of gov
eminent for the island and on the tar
if proposition.
Commissioner Rivera claimed that all
the Porto Ricans ask for is justice and
that the Americans are not giving them
this. He said the house of delegates
has been made practically nonentity
by the executive council, corresponding
to the upper house. and that the upper
body refused 10 listen to the house OF
delegates in the recent extraordinary
session of the Porto Rican congress.
Commissioner Larrinaga, delegate
from Porto Rico to congress, will en-
deavor today to arrange for an inter-
view for the commission with Presi-
dent Taft.

declared that as a result of the Amerl-

of coffee had dropped from $35 to SO per
100 pounds, all it's foreign markets nav
ing been taken away as result Oh the

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Because
Colorado is the nations playground,
according to ex-President Roosevelt,
Representative Taylor of that state has
introduced a bill appropriating $25OOoo

Won BUELOW IS
TURNED DOWN
GERMAN CHANCELLOR REPU-
DATED BY HIS PARTY
Conservatives Tell Leader of Liberals
They Are Determined to Carry
Through Regime Without
Considering Others
tBy Associated Press


BERLIN, March 25,-Prince Won Bue-
lows coalition of conservative, liberal
and radical parties apparently has
reached a fatal crisis over the scheme
of financial reform.
In the reichstag yesterday Herr Won
Normann, the conservative floor leader,
informed the leader of the national lib
erals, Herr Basserman, that the con-
servatives were determined to carry
through financial reforms without con-
sidering where they would get ma
jority.
This evidently means with the assist
ance of the clerical party, which the
government has tabooed since the dis
solution in 1906.
Herr Basserman said: You intend
that as giving notice of the termination
of the bloc?"
Herr Won Norman said 1.-THE bloc
can remain for other national pur-
poses
The national liberals, however, later
held a caucus and voted unanimously
to regard the conservative communities
ton as serving notice of the termina-
ton of the bloc. The caucus also de-
cided to adhere to the liberal program
that taxes on articles of general con-
sumption cannot be accepted without
some taxation aimed especially at the
wealthy classes, but the conservative
leaders, statement included the COM
plete rejection of such tax. as we'll as
an estate duty on property of deceased
persons.
The conservatives also served notice
or the radicals.
This action caused a great sensation
in the Hobbies of the reichstag toward
the close of the days session. when it
became known. This means the aban-
donment of Chancellor Won Buelow by
his own party, to join the clericals, who
latterly have been fiercely attacking
the chancellor because he only half
heartedly defended the emperor in the
November debate.
1t is also known that the court CLIQUE
has been moving heaven and earth for
some time past to undermine Prince
Won Buelow with the emperor.

For the next ten minutes further
speaking of any kind was impossible.
Half a dozen women, in turns, stood
up in various parts of the hall, and adj
dressed to the platform remarks which,
in the noise and excitement which en-
sued, were unheard. Again one of the
women was found to be chained. A
cross-ire of cries, ssThrow her out, =

that could be distinctly heard in the

A SERIOUS LOVE SPELL.

A young lady sits in our choir
Whose hair is the color of foir,
But her charm is unique,
She has such a fair Clique,
1t is really joy to be noir.
Whenever she looks down the aisle
She, gives me beautiful smasle:
And of all of her beaux.
| am certain she sheaux
That she loves me the best all the
whaisle.
Last Sunday she wore new sacque.
Cut low at the front and the bacque,
And lovely bouquet,
Worn in such cute wuet
AS only few girls have the knacque.
Some day, ere she grows too antique,
In marriage her hand / will sique.
If she's not coquette--
Which I'd greatly regruette-
She shall share my two sovereigns /;

THE LADY DoLPHINs.

A theater manager at the Players
Club said of the school of classical
dancing that Miss Isadora Duncan con
duets:
- Miss Duncan hears some quaint re
marks as she converses with her child
pupils. One day, preparatory to the
first lesson in dolphin dance, she de
hvered to her class little lecture or
this fish. She described the grace OF
the dolphin, and afterward she de
scribed it's habits and mode of life.
And, children, she said, a single
dolphin will have two thousand off
spring.
A little girl gave a start.
And how about the married ones?
she gasped.
