When the city council met last evening I
was discovered that the call byvhlch 1
was convened was not In accordance with th
rules , as It failed to elate the purposes fo
which the special meeting was called. Th
council adjourned at once and met as
committee of the whole. Among the quet
lions discussed was the repairs upon No.
engine house. Alderman Grahl thought th
building was safe , and on motion considers
tlon of the subject was deferred. The alle
In the rear of Groneweg & Schoentgen' '
wholesale house was ordered repaired by th
street commissioner.
The question of buylng additional horse
for the lire department was discussed. Th
committee recommended that three ne
horses be purchased and two of the old one
bo disposed of. Alderman Drewlck moved thi
the horses to be disposed of be these worke
on the patrol wagon.
Alderman Shubert's ordinance requlrln
wide tired wagons for street trame we
brought up. Some of the aldermen wante
the ordinance confined to the heavy wager
plying between the two cities carrying s !
or eight tons , but the majority wanted It i
apply with proper restrictions to all stre
trafllc vehicles. It was referred finally to
committee of three to be appointed by tl
mayor , and the clerk was Instructed to co
respond with other cities and ascertain tl
regulations In vogue. The mayor appoint !
Shubert , Greenshlelds and Grahl.
The remainder of the evening was passi
In an Informal discussion of the proble
presented by the condition of the Low
Broadway paving The street commlslson <
was ordered to cease covering the blocl
with dirt. The question of the gravel pi
on the city property was Introduced agal
with the variation that a rocky ledge r
cenlly discovered Jutting out of a bank (
the city property near Dig lake be Invest
gated. The street commissioner was I
' structed to make Investigations as to tl
quality of the stone and ascertain If It w
suitable for macadam and report to the cou
ell.
Various schemes were discussed for repal
Ing the street , such as repaying a track
the center , covering the blocks with clnde
and filling up the holes with sand and grave
The tearing up of a strip In the center w
passed when the fact was announced th
such a course would relieve the proper
owners from all further obligations in t !
way of unpaid tax. So likewise was the cl
der suggestion when It was shown that t'
entire to\\n could not produce enough In tv
years to cover the surface. Aldermen Sh
bert and Urewlck brought the discussion
a practical point by declaring emphatlcal
that such repalrluf , and all that had be
done so far was a useless waste of mone
that the cost already Incurred would ha
repaved In a permanent manner sever
blocks , and they favorsd only such metho
as would give permanent and substant :
streets. After some further discussion t
s council adjourned.

The delegates to the republican state con
vention , with the big crowd that went down
to the capital city to lobby for Drake anJ
Harlan returned yesterday with colors flying
When the convention was flrst over , the liar-
Ian men were somewhat inclined to feel blue
but a good supper put them In the right sorl
of spirits , and by the tlmo they were readj
to leave DCS Molnes they had vowed alle
glance to the republican standard bearer. Tin
Pottawattamlo contingent stuck by Harlan , ac
cording to their Instructions , through tiilcl
and thin , for five ballots By that tlmo 1
haJ become a dead certainty that Draki
would be the man , for he had been galnlnt
at the rate of from fifty to 100 on every bal
lot. The question of flopping to Drake wai
accordingly brought up , and by a vote of 1-
to 13 It was decided that I'ottawattamli
vote should go to Drake. By the time tin
reading secretary had leached the "Ps1
Drake had already enough vot&s to Insure hi :
election , and Pottawattamle's climbing Inti
the band wagon cut no figure.
Some of the Drake men were telling will
a good deal of glee how they worked J. J
Steadman and tied his hands , so as to preven
him from doing any of the line political worl
for which ho has made himself so famous
Steadman , as Is well known , has claimed ti
bo a leading soldier , but ho worked fo
Harlan and against Drake , the "soldier candl
date. " Treyner , Limit , and some more o
the outsiders who were working for Drake
sent ono old soldier after another to domain
why It was that Steadman forsook the eli
flag and worked for a man who had neve
been In the war. This went on until nearl ;
every one of the 400 soldiers who were oc
cupylng seats as delegates had been to him

WASHINGTON , July 11. ( Special. ) Ar
Important general order has just been Issued -
sued from the War department designating
a number ot army posts as places of con
Inement tor military prisoners and prescrlb
ng rules and regulations for the government
of the prisoners during their confinement
By this order the following posts are ap
minted as prisons- Fort Crook , Neb , Tor

Mass. , Port Columbus , N. Y. , Fort Thomas
. < y. , Tort Monroe , Va. , Fort Sheridan , 111
Fort Illley , Kan , Fort Sam Houston , Tex
"ort Logan , Cole , and Vancouver Darracks
A'nsh This action In designating arm ;
losts as prisons was necessitated by tin
ransfer of the control ot the United Statei
nllllary prison at Fort Leavenvvorth , Kan
> om the War department to the Uepartnicn
of Justice , and as the Leavenvvorth prlsoi
s used only for the confinement of pcrsoni
convicted of felonies It was Imperative tha
> rlsons should be provided tor the kceplni
of those prisoners who are guilty of of
'enses ot a purely mllltaiy nature. None o
the above named posts , with the exception
of that at Alcatnz , Cal , have ever beei
used as prisons They all , however , IIUM
mil their ordinary guard houses , but no con
fincmcnts of long duration have been servei
out at these stations. In order to fulfill th <
requirements of the prisons , as prescribed li
.ho general order just Issued , special build
ngs will have to be constructed at th <
various posts , as none ot them have guari
houses suitable tor the purposes
It was also necessary to prepare rules am
regulations for these new prisons , and thcs
have been published In the general orde
designating the posts. The general plan o
the new regulations was taken from th
rules and regulations In vogue at Leaven

Senator Dolph of Oregon It Is un or 'too <

of Oregon and Squire of WashlTgton woul
each like to eccttro the appointment , whll
Senator Wilson ot Washington would accef
the position If tendered to him and Senate
Mitchell of Oregon might take It with certal

Doing the oHcst senator of the five mer

WASHINGTON , July 11. South Amerlcr
diplomats In Washington arc much tnteresti
In the press reports that Bolivia has pr
Dented the ultimatum1 to Peru , which tl
latter has rejected , and that Bolivia ai
Ecuador have formed an alliance with tl
prospect ot making war on Peru. Peru
former strength has disappeared since h
war with Chill. The Chilians tcok all t !
Peruvian warships , and It Is believed 01
old transport Is all that remains of t !
Peruvian navy. The army Is said to numb
about 4,000 men. Bolivia has no navy , ai
her army Is said to bo about the same
that of Peru. She is entirely Inland sin
the war with Chill , when Chill took pc
session ot those provinces which had form
Bolivia's coast line. Ecuador Is said to
In good fighting trim , as she has jti
emerged from a revolution and all her peer
are In arms But her navy Is Inslgnlficar
her only good wa.rshlp having been sold
Japan some months ago. It looks , ther
fore , to those conversant with the sltuatli
that these three crippled countries would n
engage In a very formidable war. They ca
not fight by sea , and there are great stretch
ot desolate and mountainous country betwe
them. Chill Is In no way Interested In t
trouble. The last war appears to have e
tabllshed her firmly as mistress ot the we
coast of South America.

ct resulted from last night's disaster at the
Baltic avenue Casino , although In other re
spects the details of the occurrence have not
been exaggerated. A conservative estimate
places the number of wounded at close to 200.
The only ono In Immediate danger of death

hat both Claproth and Mrs. Rockwell ol
Philadelphia wore dead Is untrue Mrs Rock-

All night the doors ot the hospital were be
sieged by anxious Inquirers , but before day
break all of the Injured had been located al
"lotels and hospitals by their friends and reU.

but they heard the alarming crackle of Urn
bers and escaped to the boird walk outsldi
not a second too soon. The great weight o
the crowd was the primary cause of the accl
dent , but there Is talk of fixing the responsl
blllty , as It Is generally known that thi
structure was old and dilapidated.
It Is understood that the authorities wll
Institute an Immediate Investigation , with i
