" OP CITV COUNCIL. Tun SoMNlnn * Arc Hclil Avlth J.IUlc Impnrtniil IlimlncNii TrnimnctL'it , The city council held two eeeslons last night , first as a council and then as a com mittee of the whole , but llttlo business of consequence was transacted at cither. Over an hour of the council meeting was devoted to a discussion over the estimate of Contractor Wlckham for grading In a sidewalk contract on Eleventh avenue , which had been brought to grade. The plans and specifications under nhtch the contract was awarded provide that nothing shall bo allowed for filling or cutting on any street which had been brought to grade. In this cneo the contractor claimed that the grading had not been brought to within two feet of tbe property line and that therefore In order to lay the sidewalk he was compelled to put In the filling. A motion to allow the cetl- mate was lost and then this action was re considered and further action of tbe esti mate laid over until the next mooting. The Lake Manawa & Bant Omaha Con struction Company filed Its acceptance of tbo resolution granting It permission to cut through Twentieth street at Avenue C for the purpose ot building the now line of the Omaha & Council Blurts Suburban Railway company between this city and the Termi nal Company's bridge. Thp city attorney was Instructed to com mence suit against 53. A. Wlckham and his bondsmen to enforce the fulfillment of the contracts for 'the ' paving of Willow avenue and Avenue F. O. W. Hewitt for the State Land Im provement Company filed a claim for ? 53 for damage to the building nt 1305 Avenue B by reason of the flooding of Indian Creek on the night of August 8 last. The claim was rejected and Mr. Hewitt Invited to bring milt. milt.n. n. Jepson , the dairyman whose buggy was overturned and damaged by being run Into by the flro chief's wngon on the night of October 12 , filed a. petition asking the coun cil to compensate htm for his loss. The claim was referred to the committee on fire and light with power to act. George Meyer , secretary of the Seckner Contracting company , which has with the J. P. Miller company submitted an applica tion for.a . gas and electric lighting fran chise , accompanied with a proposition to furnleh the city with electric lights for a term ot twenty-five years , appeared before the committee of the whole and presented a number of argu ments in support of the application and proposition. Ho stated "that the two com panies that bo represented would submit a bid under the terms advertised by the city and explained that the figures quoted in the proposition now before the council were based upon the Philadelphia schedule in vogue in thla city. He also explained the terms under which the city would be per mitted to purchase 'the plant It they In stalled ono hero. He said he believed this city offered a field for the installation ot an other plant and If granted a franchise was ready to enter the field and build a plant here irrespective ot the fact whether they secured the contract for the city lighting or not , The committee decided to defer consider ation of the proposition until after the bids advertised for were received. The council adjourned until Monday , October 30. PLACES FOR IlKGISTRATION. Information of Intercut for Every Mnu Who Intend * to Vote.

( Special Tele- gram. ) A special from San Francesco says : "Tho owners of the Senator and many prominent shipping men called on lowans hero today and assured them they need have no fears for the safety of the Iowa troops. They1 declared that the Senator could outride the severest storm. Captain Baucson , chief of the transports , said this morning : "Talk of the Senator sinking Is bosh. If is Improbable , unlikely and would 'be ' con trary to the history of navigation in the Pacific. Tlio only thing that can possibly como of the statement of the olllcers of the Empress of India , providing what they say la true , Is that there may bo a delay of a few days. The fact that the India left eight hours later than the Senator Is nothing , for the India Is an clghtccn-knot 'boat ' , while the Senator Is a twelve at Itu best. Then , again , the distance Is considerable longer tb San Francisco and the route quite differ ent. The 'boats ' would bo as far as 400 miles apart in their routes , and the etorm which the Empress ot India speaks about may have be n easily escaped by passing on olthqr sldo of the Senator. ' "Tho distance from Yokohama to San Francisco by the usual route , which waa taken 'by ' the Senator , Is 4G36 miles , while that from Yokohama to Victoria is 4,230. Or dinarily the trip Is made to Victoria In fourteen days , while sixteen Is the schedule for the Frisco route. The India left Yokohama hama on October G , eight hours after the Senator , according to their reports , although our advices were to the effect that they had left on. October 7. Assuming that every thing Is all right and that the storms , If there were any , did not retard the speed of tha boat , the Senator should arrive hero on October 21 , If they left on October 5. If they Irft on October 7 they should arrive hero on October 23. If they are delayed a couple of days the chances are that they will bo here on next Monday morning. But I look for thehi Sunday sure. "Tho Senator Is a new steel steamer , 288 feet long. It was built at the Union Iron Woiks for the Pacific Coast Steamship com pany-and was launched in Maich , 1898. It has'powerful engines of the triple-expansion typo , which have developed a speed of more than thirteen knots. On Us previous voyages to and from Manila the Senator encountered heavy weather and demon strated that it Is a good sea boat. " CdHvn 111 the Supreme Court.

CRITTENDEN ADDS fo DUTIES Offlccr Formerly Stationed nt Oiunliu DccomeH Engineer lit Sioux City. SIOUX CITY , la. , Oct. 10. ( Special. ) n addition to being headquarters for the ; overnment improvement work on the upper Missouri , Sioux City is now also headquar- ers for 'the ' improvement work done annu- lly by the government in Yellowstone Park , Thla Is the result of the appointment of Colonel H. M. Chlttcuden , formerly chief engineer ut Omaha , as engineer In charge lere. Colonel Chlttendeu was , in 1891-1892 , n local charge of the improvement work n Yellowstone park and later was given ; oneral charge , which duties have followed ilm here. There is no man in the country better posted in regard to the attractions afforded by this great government rescrva- lon , made in order to guarantee to the pco- ilc forever the readiest access to some of ho most remarkable geological formations on the face of the earth. Colonel Chlttendeu and Captain J. C. Sanford - ford , whom ho baa relieved as engineer In charge at Sioux City , were classmates nt West Point , where they were graduated In 1884. From 1887-1889 Colonel Chittenden wan chief engineer at Omaha and during tbo latter part ot this time was In charge of the Uls'souri'river Improvement work to the leadwaters of the river. Therefore , In tak- ng up his new duties at Sioux City ho ro- , urnn to nutters with which he was familiar ; en years ago , but which ho relinquished to Major Powell when the Sioux City office was established. After his service at Omaha ho was detailed to Yellowstone park In 1891 and 1802 In local charge of the Improvement undertaken there by the government In order to afford tour ists tbo beat possible opportunity to observe the marvelous formations and phenomena which nature has BO lavishly displayed over an area of 3,300 , gquaio mllca. The govern ment expends from $40,000 to $50,000 annu ally In constructing nnd maintaining road ways and other facilities for sightseers and Colonel Oblltenden's olllco hero will have supervision of < this work , necessitating a Journey to the park each summer.
