The city council nt Us meeting last night
granted the oft asked for ordinance to
the Council UlulTs Transit company. It
is supposed that the transit cunpany
desired the right to construct n motor line to
the Chautauijua grounds and for that pur
pose wanted the right of way on n
largo enough number of HtreoU to make
Us business prolltablo , and , Incidentally ,
n diioct route to the CliHUtnuirim grounds.
After considerable discussion the ordinance
was passed , Washington nvenuo being
cut out of the list of streets over which
right of way was to bo granted , in nccord-
unco with the demand of a number of the
properly owners on ihat avcnun who were
'
prescnt'and in readiness to tear in pieces any
alderman who opposed tholr wishes.
Alderman Connor introduced nn ordlnonco
for the purpose ol reducing the cost of nd
vertisiiig for bids on paving , grading and
sldewa its , making thrco general periods
for tno publication ol such advertisements.
The ordinance llxes the regular mpotings in
Januarv , May and September as the dates
upon which tlio council shall advertise for
all work ordered prior to the various datos.
The alderman explained that this
arrangement ; would suvo Iho lux-
payers about S'i.OOO a year. The
ordinance went ever under the rules.
An ordinance that fell like a wet blanket
over the council chamber was found among
ttic big stuck of papers on the clerx's desk ,
whnro it had been placed by Alderman
Wood. It was an ordinance flxmg the salar
ies of the mayor , marshal and treasurer at
$ I , UOU and providing that nil fees In excess
ol that nmt.unt should bo turned into tlio
cliy treasury , it was received in cold
blooded silence and laid over under the rules
for two weeks.
A. A. Hart , the Jeweler win hai been th
victim of numerous burglaries , was granted
e remission of tuxes upon his showing that
nearly all ol his stocii had been taken within
thirty days after the assessment was made ,
so that his loss entitled him to exemption
from taxes.
The question of dividing the Fourth and
Fifth wards and creating n new ward to hn
called the Seventh , was presented by Alder
man Smith. It designates that portion of the
two wards south of Kluvcnth avonus as iho
territory to bo incorporated in the new ward.
The city attorney was instructed to prepare
the neccisnry ordinance and report it nt the
next meeting of tlio council. Alderman
Smith was fortilled in his demand by a neti-
llon with the names of ISO voters attached.
J. P. Uushncll asked the city council to
take twenty-live copies of the now city di
rectory which is soon to bo published , to bo
used in the city oRicos. Alderman Smitn
said ho would bo in laver of the scheme if
the book was to contain the portraits
of the alderman. Mayor Mocrao retorled
that he saw no reason why Smith should
seek to hinder the snlo of the book
by any such plan as that ,
and after considerable good na-
turcd banter tin matter wns referred to the
co'umitlco of the whole. A petition of prop
erty owners for an arc llsrht nt the corner of
Harrison street and McCieo avenue was laid
on tbo table until the next meeting.

Tno following nominations were then made
for the minor oniccs : Mr , Kcrrof Pennsyl
vania for clerk , unanimously ; Mi1. Voder of
Ohio for sergeant-at-arms , unanimously
( after it was seen that ho was far in I ho lead
of Murphy of Iowa ) ; Turner of Isow York
for doorkeeper oy ITS votes to S7 lor Fields
of Virginia" and 8 for Coil of Connecticut ;
Dalton of Indiana for postmaster by 12J to
-0 for \Vripht of North Carolina , M for
Barney of Wisconsin and ; ! 0 for McClammy
of North Carolina ,
Then Mr. Sprinpcr of Illinois stated that
ho would not at this lime present any candi
date for cliaplain , but that he would do so in
open house tomorrow , and that ho would ro-
nomiuato the old chaplain , Dr. Mil burn of
Illinois. So at half past 11 adjournment of
the caucus was taken , which , in lenglh and
in its proceedings , is the most memorable cf
any in the history of the housosinco the war.
Mills ItcliiHCH to Talk.
After the caucus Mr. Mills was 'invited to
furnish the press with Ins views upon the re
sult , but r.nswored : "J have nothing to say
to the press. "
In commenting upon the result of the con
test Mr. Hatch said : "lam entirely satis-
lied with the result. I voted for
Mr. Cr'rp because I beliuvo ho
possesses in the most eminent degree all the
tjuulUlcations to make an able , conservative
and successful speaker. I huvo never at
any tlmo during this campaign .shared In
the feeling aialnst ; Mr. Crisp thu , ho
was not ns ublo and conscientious
a larittformer as Mr. Mills or any gentle
man in this congress. I am betlor satlslied
with his record on tlio silver question than
that of Mr. Mills , since the latter gentle
man's speeches in Ohio. I have no regrets
to express in regard to the rosult. "
Springer UnlHirdeiiH Ilim oir.
Mr. Sprincer said to nn Associated Press
reporter : "Tho canvass for the spcakershlp.
so far as I am concerned , nas been conducted
upon the theory that good politics required
that the spcakershlp should go lo the north
west , and especially to the stuto of Illinois ,
where it would contribute ! ' , in some degree lo
Iho success of iho democriitio parly in the
presidential election oC' IfcW , but it seems
that tlio representatives'of the democratic
party In congress do not take that view of
the question , and while I had not contem
plated a choice between Mr. Crisp and Mr.
Mills , when the tune arrived at which it was
necessary for mo to act , 1 bhoso that course
which , It fioemtd , would bo the best for the
Interests of the democratic ] party generally.

Mr. Crisp will malio nn able nnd impartial
presidins olllccr. So far ns the qucstioci oF
tariff reform is concerned. I have tnkcn pains
to satisfy myself than in Mr. Crisp's election
it will be preserved ns the paramount Issue
of tlio presidential cnmpaiRn of 181)2. )
But there are other issues winch must bo
kept In vlow. especially that of economy in
public expenditures. Wo must rnalto u record
in this congress winch will convince the people -
plo that wo are 111 favor of nn honest and
economical administration , and that no money
should bo expended except such as is nbso-
lutely necessary for public purposes. The
election of Mr. Crisp will not
complicate the presidential contest. No
candidate for president will receive any advantage -
vantage or disadvantage from it. The na
tional convention will ba loft , perfectly free
to maUo the choice of our candidate unin
fluenced by the result of the spcaltorship
conlcst. The democratic party is the party
of the people and not a party of combina
tions. "
Mr. McMillln , when asked for nn inter
view , said his sentiments were expressed in
his speech in the caucus nnd ho would let
that go for im interview.
