The franchise under which the Suburban

braced In the original franchise granted the

Construction company, under which tho

Attorney Tlnley appeared before tho
council nn behalf of the Suburban company
with tho request that It bo granted per
mission to occupy these streets In accord
ance with tho provisions of Its franchise.
Ho spoke of the opposition tho Suburban
company has had from tho old company an!
stated that It Is the Intention of tho new
company to give tho people of Council Bluff3
a street railway pystem of which they will
bo proud. In answer to Inquiries from somo
of the aldermen he stated that the com
pany will not seek permission to uso any

pnny to commence thn work cf track laying

cil adjourned tho formal acceptance by the

Petition from I'nlon Men,
A delegation of union laboring men, num
bering about 150, marched Into the council
chamber and presented a set of resolutions
and petition, asking that In view of tho ex
tensive public Improvements contemplated
this year by tbe city none but union men bo
employed on public works and that home
material be used as far as possible. Clui
I.otz and H. B. Davis, secretary of the
Trades and Labor ns3embly, addressed tho
council on behalf of the petition. The for
mer urged that It Is only fair to tho laboring
men of tho city that only union men bo em
ployed on tho public works. If not they
have to compete with men brought from
Kansas City and St. Louts by employment
agencies. Secretary Davis spoke In a
similar strain and at the conclusion of his
remarks tho resolutions and petition were
ordered placed on file.

C. E. H. Campbell of this city was awarded
tho contract for the new bridge on Fifth
avenue over Indian creek on. his bid of
$2,695. It the city decides to uso the old
girders In tho erection of the new btruc
ture Campbell will allow a reduction of
$150. In his opinion It will be unwise to
use the old girders, and the matter was
left with the committee on bridges and city
property to determine. Four other bids be
sides that of Campbell wero received, but
three of them wero rejected, as they were
not accompanied by the requisite certified
checks. These bids wero: Canton Bridge
company, $2,785; N. M. Stnrk & Co., $2,815;
Standard Brldgo company, $2,770; Wrought
Iron Brldgo company, $2,760. Of the bids
of theso four companies, that of the Canton
Brldgo company was tbo only ono accom
panied by tho necessary certified check for
10 per cent of tho amount bid.

with and a resolution adopted ordering tho
streets embraced In the tlrat resolution acted
on at tho last meeting paved, and tho city
clerk was Instructed on the suggestion of
Alderman McDonald to advertise for sepa
rate, bids for each street. A protest from
tha abutting property owners on Ninth
avenue, 'between Main nnd Fourth streets,

paving done this year.

Sheriff Cousins recolved Sunday a letter
from W. E. nalubrldgo of this city, nssls'ant
secretary of tho American legation at. Peklu,
China, In which ho tells of the first out
break of the "Boxers." Tho letter Is dated
June 1 and tho portion which Is of public
Interest la ns follows:
Tho last week hus bcon one of grent ex
citement and no little dancer. For some
tlmo there has been growing throughout
north China u society known ns the "Box
ers." the members of which are Intensely
nntl-forelgn and who have been maklnc
threats against tho lives of all foreigners.
On Monday they broke loose nnd attacked
the railway and destroyed severnl line
bridges nnd burned tho railway shops near
here. We were oreatly relieved last night
when fifty blue-coated marines marched
Into the legation to act ns u guard until
the dnnger Is passed. As I write u rapid
firing gun stands n few feet from mv win
dow nnd sentries nre slowly pacing back
and forth on tho walks. About 350 guards
came last night for tho various legations.
They constituted u very peculinr tirmy
mrfrchlng into tho city last evening as there
wero British, Americans, Jnpnnese, Italians,
rtusslnns nnd Austrluns, nil marching to
gether. The presence of tho gunrds hus Had n
disquieting effect on the Chinese nlready,
nnd while the streets aro crpwded yet and
a foreigner docs not got very pleasant
looks, still it is evident that tho real danger
Is over for tha present any way.
You see that serving Uncle Sam even In
tho diplomatic service is sometimes not
without dnnger. Still I havo bpcomo so
used to the conditions here thnt I havo
not been very greatly alarmed Ht nny time.
My principal worry has been that the un
settled times will delay our getting out to
tho country nnd that wo shall hnvo to
spend so much of the tearfully hot weather
In the city here,

It was expected that Treasurer of State
Herrlott would make public Monday the
opinion rendered by Attorney General Rem

the supremo court. This was a mistake,
however, but tho time at which tho opinion

time It Is learned from a source close to
tho treasurer's ofllco that the opinion of the
attorney general, relatea. exclusively to tho
fes collected by the clerk ot tho court In
his official capacity. ?, i
Whrrc the Controversy Itrntd.
Tho fees In controversy are those which
Clerk Jones claims to havo collected for do
ing perbonnl and private work and not in the
discharge ot his duty as clerk. That Is the
nubbin of tho business. The attorney gen
eral does not decldo whether tho fees
collected by Mr. Jones hcretoforo nro among
thoso which ho collects as an official and
Mr. Jones still Insists that they wero not
collected as an official, but merely as a pri
vate Individual and citizen.
