The senator gave In detail the story of the Bradford narration ami of the many unsuccessful attempts which had been made to secure It for the United States ho continued : MOST PRECIOUS MANUSCRIPT. On the 21st of December , 1S95 , I was ap pointed to deliver an address at Plymouth on the occasion of the 275th anniversary of the landing of the pllprlms upon the rock In preparing for that duty I road again , with renewed enthusiasm and del'ght. ' the noble and touching story as told by Governor Brad ford. I felt that thlf precious history of the pilgrims ought to be In no ottier custody than that of their children. But the ease pccmed hopeless. I found myse.f compelled by n serious physical Infirmity lo tukf a vacation and to get n rest from public- cares and duties , which was Impossible \vhll I stayed at home. When I went abroad I determined to visit the locality on the borders of Lin colnshire and Yorkshire , from which llrad- ford and Brewster and Hobinton. three lead- era of thp pilgrims came , and where the flrxt church was formed , nnd the- places In Amsterdam and Delft Haven , where the colonists spent thirteen years , esficclnllv to see the manuscript of Bradford at Fulham. which then , as now It scenic to me. the most precious nmnuscrl : t on earth , unless we could recover one of the four pot-pe'-s a It came In the beginning trom the pen of the evangelist. But the desire to get It back grew nnd grow during the voyage ncro ? > < tne Atlantic. I did not know how such n propoMtlon would be received In Knglanil. A ffvr < lavs > after I landed I made a call on John Morley. I asked him whether he thought the thing could be done. He Inquired carefully Into the story , took down fram his shelf the excellent , though brief , life of Bradford In Leslie Stephens' biographical dictionary , nivi 1od ! mo he thought It ought to come back to us. and he should be glad to do anything In his power to help. Mr. Hoar then recounted his own efforts while in England to merely get a sight of the precious manuscript and told how he first viewed It In the library of the lord bishop of London and made the first request for Us return to the United States. He referred In complimentary terms to Mr. 'Bayard's success In recovering the volume after so many others had failed and assured him that It was on achievement for which the country would ever hold him In grateful recollection. EXCHANGE COMPLIMENTS. President Lawrence presented Mr. Bayard to the convention. Mr. Bayard expressed his great pleasure that he had aecn able to ex ecute his trust and deliver the priceless doc ument'to representatives of the people who are entitled to Us custody.

Cctnplalnt has been made to the author ities that Garbage Master Peter Lcnagh has been In the habit of empt > lng the contents of ctAS-pools Into the sewcre. Not long ago Lenngh opened the head of a sewer In the north part of the city and dumped In a couple of loads of stuff. He sajs It was the contents of cistpool ? , but persons living In that vicinity arscrt that It was night soil. At any rate the sewer Is stopped up and It will be necc.uary to have It flushed by the fire department. Lenagh Insists that ho Is permitted by the ordinances to empty cess pools In sewers. Sanitary Inspector Carroll doubts Ilia truth of the assertion and called upon the city attorney for come Information. If Lenagh Persia's In this violation of the city ordinances he will be arrested and tried the same M any other violator of a city or dinance would lie. Complaint Is made almost dally that Pete Lcnagh does not half do the work he is ordered to do and for which he charges seven or eight prices. This matter of overcharges Is to be brought before the council In an attempt to have something done that will relieve the taxpayers and residents from extortion. An ordinance hns passed first reading which lo termed by the Intro ducer an Improvement on the ordinances now In force governing the sanitary Inspector and the hauling of garbage , etc. Opponents of the ordinance assert that thla new affair Is no better than the ono now In force and that a reduction of charges can be made by reso lution , thus raving the cost of printing a long ordinance. A few weeks ago Schultz offered a resolu tion which was paaswd regulating the prices to be charged by the garbage master. This resolution provides for the reduction of charges for cleaning cesspools from 15 cents to 10 cents per cubic foot. Each dead animal welshing over 500 pounds Is reduced from $2.50 to $1.50 , and for each dead animal weighing less than 500 pounds the charge ehall be $1. The hauling away of derd cats la i educed from 25 cents to 15 rents , and dogs from 73 cents to 35 cents. Reductions are also made In the charges for removing manure and garbage. The changes In this resolution were Included In the new ordl- nanca and may be placed in effect should the ordinance fall to pass , as Is now predicted. ; . 011 tlir AnHin iiioiit.

It Is a difficult matter to toll just at thla tlmo what the toUl valuation will be , but It Is not thought that It will fall below the valuation of last year , which wai ftbout $1,600,000. Major Crces bus reduced the assessment on small holdings of real estate ; that Is to &ajr , the owners of small homos will not be as- eosscJ so high AS they were lost year. In some Instances the personal property valua tion has been lowered and In olhern U has been Increased. In regard to the corpora tions , Assessor Cress alil that ho dli ) not care to make any statement. Ho , however , Klves the nssuranco that no reduction over Inst year l to be niailc. City officials are already figuring on the 1S97 levy. U all depends on the valuation returned by the assessor. With the valua tion the eamo as last year It Is thought that the levy can bo materially decreased. It Is not probable that morn than a 45-mlll levy will be made. Will TnKc Ttp UniiixMl Hiillx.
