sea prize ever open to capture. AS
she crept along the Maine coast and
into the harbor under the cover Of

not a gleam Of light was betraying
her whereabouts, her four stacks had
been tipped with black paint, so that
she resembled an English teamship.
The kronprincess Ceceile left New

She had $50 first class, 1870 sec

ing of a report on the water sltua-
tion from Superintendent Lewis.
But City Attorney McGlashan had
business in Colorado Springs and
failed to put in his appearance at the
council session. City Engineer Lit
tletnn: who was to be consulted in
the matter of passing the new curb
and gutter ordinance. also failed to
appear. So the curb and gutter
proposition was quickly dropped and
nothing was said about it. Also uo-
on the absence of the city attorney
it was thought wise to dispense with
the matter concerning the condemna-
tion suit with the C. F. & |. Co. Two
important matters laid aside.
But when 1t came to the water
question Superintendent Lewis was
on hand and chock full of news and
reports concerning the city's recent
threatened water famine. Superin-
tendent Lewis in his report told the
council that the city's temporary
water main was now in and in good
shape, and that as soon as the river
was back to its normal height that
the greater portion Of the line would
have to be rebuilt in a permanent
condition. The cost for this work
was estimated at $500. A bill for
the repairing of the temporary line
was submitted which amounted to
$3.50, which was considered low
figure for the amount of work done
and the rapidity with which the
water main was put back into SER
vice.

line. which left this port last night
with a cargo of coal and miscellan-

The steamer. after clearing Sandy
Hook, had only her running lights
burning and was headed inn soIith=

ward which is the usual course for
steamships bound for Europe.
The southerly route taken and the
fact that the steamer had about two
thousand tons more coal than she
would need to cross the Atlantic, be-
sides sea stores, lead to the reports
that she was going to seat to trans

cruisers Dresden, Straasburg, Karls-

departure of the ship it was feared
in some quarters might involve the
