Commissioner Judson's Motion.

No money has been paid the company
since that discussion. and now the COM
pany's bill is $44, 1000, according to
figures In the Office of the auditor of the
District. Commissioner Judson before he
left for q trip to Panama took up this
question Of what to- pay the electric light
company, and Endorsed the papers with
a formal motion. part Of which reads:
''Inasmuch as the history Of this case
in Congress lends some weight to the
view that Congress-whose agents the
Commissioners are-expected some terms
of settlement more OnerOuS to the COM
pany, and inasmuch as 1t is indeed pos
slble to take the view that these lamps
affording only seven-tentns of the candle
power required by law should be paid
for at the rate OF seven-tenths OF the
legal and contract price He lhen went
on to explain that seven-tenths Of the
contract price meant that fraction of the
contract price of an arc lamp. SIS year.
which means that the District wants to
pay the electric light company $59.OO
apiece for the disputed arcs.
The dispute about the power Of the
arcs was taken into Congress and aired
in the hearings previous to the enact
ment Of the District Appropriation bill.
There is q paragraph in the apprOpria-
ton bill for the coming fiscal year
which directs the Commissioners to settle
their differences with the electric Light
company, and in obedience to this the
present proposition is being figured out.
beginning today. In view Of the fact
that new and improved street lighting is
contemplated, and in many cases already
in operation, the Commissioners Will
have no more contracts calling for lamps
at a certain candlepower. The contracts
read differently, and there will be no
dispute on candlepower in the future.

In making this move said Nj.
Scott today. Il have felt that Keokuk
is increasing in its business and that,
due to its promising industrial impor-
lance. this was the time to become
definitely and permanently establish
ed as strictly keokuk institution.
All members of the concern have
abundant faith in Keokuk's future,
which is the real reason for having
the consolidation made here"
No better evidence of the com
panys faith in Keokuks future can
be recalled than a recent refusal to
consolidate and move TO Marion, Ind

by the commercial organization OF
that city With the manufacturing OF
steam shovels and dredges the com.

Berlin, May 27.-(After. giving France an official warning through the "Noud- duetsche Allgemeine Zeitung" not to vio- late the terms of the Algeciras convention, the German government has at last given up an interest in the affairs in Morocco, which from the very first was recognized as an anti-eleotion maneuver, and the con- servative press has not been slow in obey ing orders from above. Germans inter est, aside from domestic affairs, has been entirely focused on England and espe- cially on the labor insurance bill of MT. Lloyd George, which Is framed on Ger man lines, a fact which has greatly flat tered our national vanity.
 With just pride we recognize in the English bill" writes the Berliner Tage- blatt, "the German model, but this should not keep us from studying Lloyd Georges plan in all it's details. It takes no more than a cursory glance to see that the English bill has been drafted with far sightedness, imposing magnitude of plan, that leaves the German law far behind compared to the English bill. The Ger man law more than ever shows itself to be a rather clumsy attempt of a bureau cracy reluctantly forced into some sem blance of action. The bill of Lloyd George is masterpiece which entities him to a statue in Westminster Abbey
 And one must not forget that the plan to improve the conditions of the English workingman comes from the English min ister of finance himself. The little man who has overcome the selfish objections of the large landowners against a more just distribution of the burdens of taxation, has with one move advanced England to a position in the front rank of nations where until now Germany stood alone"

EMPRESS EUGENE
 HAS A BIRTHDAY

London, May 27.-(SpeciaD-The re- cent S5th birthday anniversary of the Empress Eugenie she who shared the throne with the last emperor of France and contributed, as fash hion's arbiter to the pomp and glory of the last days of the French monarchy again lends interest to stories of this charming old lady, who bereft of fortune and power, is quietly living out her allotted span of life in a half-forgotten, lonely little house at Farnborough.
 This charming, frail, white -haired old lady. whose wit is still keen and whose spirit is still strong, and whose cour- age is still great, lives in dream world of old ghosts and memories. To the present generation the fall of the French Empire seems to belong to an cient history, and the dust of time and forgetfulness seems to have fallen upon the pages in which it's blunderings and tragedy are written. The world has has moved on apace since Napoleon III. introduced his bride to the French sen ate and legislative assembly, After the disaster of Sedan. France rose from the ashes of its ruins with new hope and vigor and the new France seems to have but little in common with the sec ond Empire. New men and new man ners have come to rule. The old soci- cities of the ffties and sixties have dis appeared like the house of old Paris before Hausmann built the boulevards. But the Empress Eugenie, almost the last survivor of that period, hugs to her heart the withered flow srs of this remembrance, and Is haunt : sd by ghost faces of old friends long forgotten in their graves, and in the quiet rooms of her English house con- Jures up again the vision of the splen- dor of those gay days in which she was the Empress of fashion.
 The daughter of the Count de Montijo, and at-grand-daughter of Kirkpat- rick of Dumfriesshire, she had the hot blood of the Spanish race, the the clear brain and brave heart of the Scottish strain. She was 26 years of age when
