DEMOCRATS IN A DILEMMA
Cannot Organ'za tha New Administration
Without the Eepnblicans.
DEADLOCK IN THE CITY COUNCIL
PoKNlhllltlcn of the Situation ! 1'olnt to
n Cntnitrnnilftc In AVIilch the llc-
yubllcnnn May Secure Some
Appointment * .
Much Interest it felt In the organization
of the new city council , which will occur
this evening , when Mayor-elect Jennings will
also take bis office. The chief Interest centers
In the attitude that will be assumed by the
four republican members , whoso votes will
bo BUfflclcxU to tie the hands of the demo
crats and prevent the operation of the plans
that have been prepared for the distribution
of the spoils. The democrats will bo unable to
elect any of their candidates unless the con
cent ot the republican members is secured.
This consent presupposes some compromise
that will retain at least one or more ot the
present republican incumbents. Attorney ?
and judges who have been called upon for
an Interpretation of the new law under
which the council will organize have de
clarcd that 11 plainly calls for a majority ot
all the members of the council to elect , and
that In case the four democrats vote for their
candidates and the republicans vote for sev
eral other aspirants there will bo no tlo
created by which -tho mayor will bo per
mitted to cast his vote.
If the republicans should decide to use
their power and BO vote os to prevent a tlo
that the mayor could break with his vote
It would naturally follow that the demo
crats would Introduce a resolution removing
the officers. The four democrats would vote
for It and the four republican ? against It ,
and the tie thus created would bo broken
by the vote of the mayor. This would leave
the offices vacant , for new men could not
bo elected without the consent of the re
publican members , and the organization
would bo prevented and the entire city ad
ministration completely disorganized.
There are about forty places that the
democratic administration will desire to fill
Will i party supporters , and if there Is a dlM
position to offer a compromise that will call
for the retentlcn of some of the men who
are now filling -them It should bo acoepte3
without delay. Numerous compromises have
been suggested as pofslble , calling for the
retention of City Clerk Philips and one or
two other minor officers , and It Is likely that
they will be proposed and accepted. There
Is , however , a stronger disposition to let
the democrats have full charge of all de
partments cud aroumo all responsibility. This
course will meet the approval of a large
majority of Jho republicans of the city.

The question of the legality of the election
of Prof. Hay Jen to the position of superin
tendent of the city schools has been raised
and la creating conslJerablc Interest. The
precipitate action ot the members of 'tho
Board of Education connected with the elec
tion of the superintendent Is regarded as
being extraordinary by all and la severely
criticised by many , but the question as to
the legality of the election has Just been
raised. The rales of the board prescribe
that the election of a city superintendent
of schools shall be made at the regular meetIng -
Ing of the board on the third Monday In
May , and the custom has been that If 'the
election was delayed that It could be
made at a subsequent meeting. There Is
nothing at all In the rules that permits the
election 'to ' bo held two months earlier. At
torneys call attention to the fact that the
supreme court has held that the adopted
rules of the board become as binding as the
, regularly enacted school laws ot the state
and cannot be disregarded , although they
may be amended and repealed. Haydcn'c
election can only be legal by the board as
suming that a vacancy exists. 'No ' vacancy
exists. Prof. .HIsey's term of ofllce does nol
expire Until next August and he has not re
signed , merely notified f io board that hi
will not be a candidate for re-election. The
action ot the board In disregarding Its rules
and customs and electing a superlntendenl
at the very first meeting after Us organiza
tion and months before the tlmo fixed , li
causing a great deal of comment.

almost $1,200 waa raised toward extinguish
Ing the church debt of $1.500. Rev. A. M

plea for funds. Incidents cited from a larg
and varied experience made the discount
very practical. His manner Is eaay , hi
rhetoric good , his power great. The sue
cess of the day was largely due to the pastoi
Rev. S. M. Perkins , who baa worked an
worried over the financial condition of hi
church. The solo by Miss Gertrude B. Ken

especial mention , and was highly appre
elated. The cornettst , J. A. Spaldlng , gav
an Impetus to tbo music that was altogethe

Burlington Hawlteye : The general assem-
ly acted wisely In providing state levies cal-
ulated to extinguish the state debt by 1900.
t la not the utate levy that pinches the tax
layer and there Is no excuse for making It
10 low that the state treasury must Issue

, Des Molnes Capital : The members of the
Twenty-seventh general assembly can gc
tome feeling that they have served their con-
tltuency and the entire state with honesty
and fidelity. There has been no jobbery and
no talk ot corruption. While the general as-
embly made no loud pretense ot being an
anti-monopoly body , yet considerable antimonopoly -
monopoly legislation was created. There
was very little show ot demagogy or talk-
ng for position or applause.

Rcj Oak Express : The legislature flnall ;
decided to appropriate $25,000 toward thi

Des Molnes Leader : -With the $35,000 nov

but hardly such as the people wish. Further
more , the long delay of the legislature I
making an appropriation has so shortene
the time In which1'to work that what I
done will necessarily cost-more and wll
not be as satisfactory. For these things th
legislature is responsible. Doubtless th
commission will do its very best.
Mason City Globe Gazette : , , The Icgta

SHANGHAI , April 3. It Is announced that
a person cf the highest rank has memorial
ized the emperor In the most vigorous
language , accusing the whole tsung It yamcn
( Chinese foreign office ) of be-lng ki the pay
of Russia. 'He ' asients that Russia expended
10,000,000 taels In bribery during the recent
negotiations regarding'the cessation of Port
Arthur and Tallon Wan , etc. , and asserts
that LI Hung Chang's share was 1,500,000
tacls. Thereupon the personage referred to
demands a full Investigation and asks that
LI Hung Chang be beheaded Ifthe accusa
tions are proven , the 'memorlallzer ' offering
to bo executed himself' ' If'his charges are not
sustained. The Chinese complain bitterly of
the fact that they do not possess a war port
for the flvo war ships hvhlch are being built
for them abroad , and 'which ' are due ito ar
rive In Chinese waters'this ' summer. Ualcss
WeiHal Wei , occupied by the Japanese , Is
evacuated , which Is doubtful , the Chinese
have no place in which to receive their new
war ships. t

HAMPTON ROADS. April 3. The practical
completion of a flying squadron of the Amer
ican navy by the assignment of Commodore
W. S. Schley to take charge , and his ac
ceptance , as marked by his active operation
on Monday last , Is an epoch-making event
In the history of the present difficulty. No
other action of this government since the
Malno disaster so actively determine * the
fact that actual warfare has been expected.
The North Atlantic ! squadron Is always or
ganized and the appointment ot Captain
Sampson to Its command Is but the natural
sequence of the retirement of Ilcur Admiral
Stcard from active duty.
So , too , the assignment of ships of war to
that squadron , or to the Pacific squadron , are
but moves toward the mobilization that
might occur at any time.
'But ' flying squadrons are the direct out
come of dangerous conditions ; are necessi
ties of standing navies In times of war , and
are expeditions of an extraordinary nature
created onljt when the government fully de
cides that there Is fear of attack , or thai
the time Is ripe for an attack from here. It
Is therefore not only possible , but highly
probable that the new American flying squad
ron has work cut out for It.
The fleet practically gathered , and alto
gether proposed , that will bear this euphon
ious title , was one of the most formidable
that can be gathered together by any nation
Egotistically In favor of the United States
as that statement may be , the facts bear It
out.
EXCELS ALL OTHERS.
In average ra.to of speed , In armored pro
tection , In caliber and number ot guns , and
In fighting- quality and discipline of men , It
can bo proven that the composition of this
flying tquadron Is superior and In point of
numbers being equal to any organization of
a llko nature that can be formed by a for
eign power.
When on Monday morning Commodore
ISchley raised his flag on the Brooklyn evi
dence of an unmistakable character was ap
parent that every man from stoker to com
mandant was not only fearless ot battle , but
courted It and hoped U would come. The
small calibre gun that fired the commodore's
salute with blank cartridges saag out a high.
pitched paean of welcome and peace.
About the land-locked water of Hampton
Roads , where thirty-five years ago the Moni
tor and Merrlmac fought their terrible
battle , sunshine touched the hills , jus !
assuming their emerald garb , and nature
awoke after her hibernation , and caressing
the hills , spoke only of peace. But as the
emoko blow by , In every eye was the
klndllag spark o < vengeance for fellow sea
men hurled to death and the hope that the
cannon's tenor note might be changed to the
dreajful one of war. And If war comes what
of this squadron ?
W. S. Schley , commodore commanding the
fleet , Is a well-built man of about 52 ycar
of age , with a general appearance denoting
thoughtfulncss and diplomacy , coupled will
certain characteristics which indicate firci
of character and quickness of action , whcr
developments require those feature.Large
headed and kindly-faced , a smiling eye , evi
dently not given to temper , quick to answer
searching in inquiry , this man , as he tread
the captain's bridge of the Brooklyn In i
naval uniform , or shakes hands with sou It
the lobby of a hotel in civilian clothes , Im
presses you as the firm , unylcldlrg warrior
jusfthe man to take "partial" orders for i
flying squadron , and complete them hlmsel
with credit to his country.
NOT TINGED WITH EMOTION.
ID the atmosphere today which surround
him there Is a spirit akin to that Germai
which says : "We have all had tnon
than enough of love , and -now for a song o
hatred , " but inthe commander there is r.i
sign of emotional desire , yet when the eum
mons comes the songs of those who cr ;
loudly now , may weaken enough to bo over
topped by the commands of this intrepii
leader of a host.
la the make-up of the flying squadroi
speed and fighting qualities have been con
sidered. A summary of the points In com
parison with those of 'the ' best boats tha
Spain can offer in making up a slmlla
squadron follows :
I Horse Speci
Name. Tons. Power. Knot !
Brooklyn . 9.275 18,000 22
Columbia . 6,373 12,000 23
Massachusetts . . . .10,283 9,000 17
Minneapolis . 7,375 11,000 23' '
The four best armored cruisers that Spal
has , compared with this fleet ot flyers , woul
bo as follows :
i , Horse Speec
Name. Tons. Por. Knoti
Vlzcaya . 7.COO 13000 20
Infanta Maria. . . . 7,000 13.CCO 20
Pelnyo . 9,900 8,000 16
Oquendo . . . . 7,000 13,000 20
The -total displacement tonnage of tb
United States flying squadron is 43,109 , an
of the Spanish 30,900. The average horsi
power of the United States vessels Is 12,501
and that of the Spanish 11,750. The averag
rate of speed ot the four United States shir
Is twenty-one and three-eighths knots n
hour , while the Spanish fleet has to contei
Itself with nineteen knots.
NEW YORK MAY BE ADDED. .
It 1s possible that the battleship Mass !
chusetts , being somewhat slower than tr
rest of the fleet , will be supplantel by tl
Now York , and the average of speed ac
fighting capabilities of the squadron will I
Increased.
It must be remembered that the Brooklj
end New York are two of the finest typ <
of fighting machines in the world , havlr
their main batteries supplied with rapH-fl .
gun * , with which wry few war "hips are
equipped except In a secondary battery.
The great point ot advantage of this fl > ct ,
however , la la thickness of armor , calibre
of RUHR and the fighting qualities of the
men , There are flvo 13-Inch guns on the
American flying squadron , while the whole
Spanish tuvy has not one , and only two
2-Inch guns. Of 12-Inch guns our squadron
ios four , ani ot 8-Inch guns fourteen. Spain's
four Delected vessels have flvo 11-Inch guns ,
and the rest are mainly 5-Inch.
These are the points ot advantage that
Commodore Schley's fleet \\ojld likely demon-
Irate In actual fighting.
FORT MONROE , Va. . April 3. Comma *
dore W. S. Schley will tomorrow notify the
authorities at Washington that with the ar
rival of the Texas ho will bo ready to move
at an hour's notice. The most formidable
squadron of fast fighters ever gotten together
s complete with the exception of the Texas.
MINNEAPOLIS IS READY.
The cruiser Minneapolis began at noon to
day to change Its coat , and the painting will
30 finished by tomorrow afternoon. Its
bunkers are filled with coal , and llko the
other vessels ot the fleet It Is fully ammuni
tioned. -
Commodore Schley expects the battleship
Texas within the next forty-eight hours.
Despite the enforcement ot the Sutvlay ob
servance law In Newport News , which has
had the effect of stopping Sunday work un
the battleships Kcarsarge and Kentucky , the
divers , three In number , continued work on
the bottom ot the battleship Massachusetts
today , and made such progress that Captain
Hlgglnson believes they will be able to finish
by nightfall tomorrow.
The work on the Brooklyn hai been fully
completed and Us eight-Inch turret guns will
now throw a much greater distance. The
Columbia has finished painting and coaling ,
and It Is in splcnlld condition.
Commodore Schley understands that the
Texas Is thoroughly completed in Improve
ment , Is painted the prevailing lead color anil
is all ready for sea assoon as It arrives
'here. '
Varying as are the opinions as to this as
semblage ot fighting boats It Is generally ad
mitted by naval and army mca here that It
Is imposing.
In addition to the active naval preparations
here Fortress Monroe is being improved
rapidly. The dynamo for the big electric
searchlight was adopted last night , and the
light Is now In operation. The emplace
ments for the rapld-flro and disappearing
guus will bo finlflhed this week , and this
Important point will then bo In somewhat
modern condition from a war standpoint.
Commodore Schley probably will take thu
Brooklyn out to sea tomorrow to try Its
turret guns.

WASHINGTON , April 3. The Navy de

the Spanish war ship Carlos V has been
delayed from sailing for Fcrvol up to this
time because It was waiting for the arrival
of twenty French machinists. Seven of
these machinists were selected and taken
aboard and the vessel departed for Ferrol.
This confirms information which the Navy
