The revised viaduct re- nalr ordinance was produced and passed under a suspension of the rulee. The only chanKo In this ordinance' from the other Is that the word railroad IB substituted for railway wherever the Union Pacific Is men tioned. The ordinance providing for the grading of tha alley between Twenty-second and Twcntv-thlrd streets and I and J streets ramo un for the third reading and was de feated. , Jnmea .Mclnney notified the CQuncil.'piat no had been Injured by falling bn a de- fr-ctlvo sidewalk at ThlrJy-secpnd ahii S Rtreets'on.Oclobe'rtt and thli notification' duly received and filed. ; , .f City AttornoyC'MontKomery caned the. at tention .of thorcouncll to the case of Bar nard Jackerotu. who has sued the city fpr $328. alleged to be due on sidewalk war rants. It anncars that the walks In the dis trict named were laid and the warrants turned over to the contractor , who sold them to Jackeroth. The property owners In the district have been slow about making oavment on this special tax and as Jacko- rnth wants his money he brought suit. City Attorney , MontKomery was Instructed to de fend the city In this action and protest acalnst the payment of the warrants except through the regular channels. The attention of the council was called tea a suit Instituted In a justice court by P. O. Caldwcll for $200 for the death of n horse. It was slated that while fshootiug clous 'Henry Stewart accidentally wounded Caldwcll'M horao so that the animal after ward "died. AV'hllo 'the ' council gave no In- fit ructions In this matter , the city attorney stated that he would fight a Judgment. Adlourned until November 2. The Board of Kquallzatlon met last night In take action on complaints filed against i n opppsstnent of a special tax for the con struction of wooden sidewalks and also for the KI ailing tax on H street. Only one com- nlalnt was received , that being from J. D. Courtney , who protested against the colter- Don of a sidewalk tax , on the ground that ho had not been notified. The records showed that all the forms of law had brcn compiled with and the protest wan over ruled. The board then adjourned slno die. I'oiuul Demi In Hod. Tony Knedltz , u packing house laborer , was found dead In bed at the South Omaha hotel , Twenty-sixth and M streets , yester day afternoon. The deceased was a German about 50 years of ago tind formerly lived nt Plttsburg , Kan. Ito had been working nt Swift's for some time past and at the tlmo of his death was keeping bachelors' hall In a little room on the third floor of the hotel bulldtngl Jacob Kamnou has-been sharing the room with Knedltz for several months past. As Kamnou does not speak , a word of English , It was a difficult matter for Manager Buckley of the Brewer undertak ing establishment to ascertain the details of the death. From Kamnon It was leared that on Wednesday Knrdttz went to Omaha and submitted to nn operation on his left leg , for which he paid $1 , nearly nil the money ho had. Yesterday morning he bad apparently recovered and said that he felt better. When Kamnon entered the room along about noon he found his friend all hud dled up In bed and supposing that he was asleep did not attempt to waken him. Later on he tried to call him and found that he was dead. The body was taken to Brewer's , wlu'ro an Inquest will moat likely be held today. Besldo the bed was found a glass containing some sort of powder , the na ture of Which U not known at the present time. It Is not thought that Knedltz corn- milled suicide , ns ho was In unusually good spirits yrslerday morning. Mike Popp. n Q strert tailor , states thai he was acquainted with Knedltz In Germany and thnt ho left a wife and five children there. He came to this country on account of domestic troubles and baa had no communication with his family for some time. Popp further says that Knedltz was troubled with a running sore on his leg before he left the old coun try and had often complained of It since coming to South Omaha. Kamuon did not know the .names of thu doctors who per formed the operation Wednesday , neither did ho know where Knrdltz went to meet th'e physicians. The effects of the dead man were examined , but nothing of any Impor tance was found. From the burroundlngg it Is hardl ) though' that Knedltz committed suicide , hut thn matter Is to be Investigated , IVriimiii'ut WnlU . By the pastiagu ot an ordinance at tha meeting of tbo council Wcdnmday night u permanent sidewalk dUvrlct has been fa- UtbllsheJ on both stdrs of Twenty-fourth street from J street south to N aiwt. The first district between L and N streets was : reated some time ago and the people ap- eared so well pleased with good walks that a demand for an exlcnslon of Iho district .vas made. Property owners between J and j streets will have to lay permanent walks within thirty days from the date of the passage of the ordinance or the work will oo douo by the city and charged Vo the property. Bomo of the property owners lu the district from L street south t'o N street have not complied with the law yet , but IV .s expected that the city will soon lay Ihese walks , so that no wooden walks will appeal on Iho main street from J street on the aorth to N street on the south.

BETTER REPAIR FACILITIES NEEDED' ' Illnli Sjiecil , KVCII In IluttlcnlilpK , n HeiiilHlc ( CliniiRu In ArrniiKeititMitN Value of Iloittn. WASHINUTOX , Oct. 20. The war which has just ended was the first In which mod ern steam vessels have had a thorough trial , so says Englneer-Iu-Chlef Melville In his annual report , and then ho proceeds to note the Important lessons , so far as they respect the machinery of the vessels , which have been taught by that experience , ns follows : 1. The vital necessity of giving the ma chinery of vessels In reserve frequent tests under working conditions , so that any de fects may be- discovered and remedied before - fore war makes the vessel's serviceabso lutely"necessary. . In several cases defects were found after the shin had been cruU-lng and the repairs laid them up In the midst of the war , 2. The great Importance of having all our naval stations In positions of strategic value , practically fitted out .for repairs and with adequate supplies of. non-perishable stores. It had been evident for a long time that ' Key West was such a station , but money to put In a proper repair plant was refused year after year and "only granted after the war had begun. The movement of largo . bodies of troops and their equipment almost I blocked the railroads , so that after the beginning - \ ginning of the war It was almost Impossi ble to secure the forwaiainc or tools and supplier 3. That fresh water for the boilers Is almost us Important as coal and that a dls- | tilling ship Is an Important adjunct of n licet operating away from a harbor where freeh water can be readily obtained. 4. Tha't every fleet needs a repair ship to enable the efficiency to be maintained with out leaving the station and consequently that several ships should bo equipped BO as to be ready to proceed with the fleet. 5. The great tactical advantages of water tube boilers , This hag already been dis cussed under another head. C. That If moro than two main engines are to be fitted there should be three engines driving three screws and not two main cn- rlnes on each shaft. The New York and Brooklyn had their forward engines dis connected at the tlmo of the Santiago fight and could not stop to couple them. An ac cident to any part of cither of the two en- glues on n shaft disables half the power ; In 'the three-wow Ehln this fraction would be only a third. TcmperntnrpM Which Kill. 7. That there shall be frequent trials under forced draft to keen the blowers In good condition and to make the men thoroughly familiar with working under maximum con- lltlona. It appears that some of the ships had never been under forced draft since their contract trials until the day of the fight at Santiago. 8. That the location of the forced draft blowers Is a matter of serious Importune , ? , In some of our ships , owing to the demands for all other space for other purposes , the blowers had to be located In corners or Dockets In the flre rooms , where It was Im possible for'human-belnga to give them proper attention , owing to the Intense heat due to lack of ventilation. In the Cincin nati temperatures as high as 205 degrees wcro noted and the commanding ofllcer , when Investigating" the case personally , had his face acorched < The blowers must bo placed where they can bo properly cared for. or else , fhey ore useless and might as well be left on shore. . 9. That the personnel of the service should be adequate" to the material. It has been notorious for"some .tlmo that this is not the case1 and-wo.ars-pi'DYldliiRi tor1 a .ifcclded . In crease in the uiunbes of vessels with no In crease whatever ' Iri 'tho personnel. Uy sending nearly1 every 'officer on the active list to sea'we-1 wore "able to glvo the regular ships a fair complement of trained ones , but had the war-been of lone duration we should have been greatly embarrassed to supply the places of those disabled or invalided. Volunteers , however well trained In other ways , eunnot entirely replace the regular officers. 10. We * must raako provision for training the enlisted men of the engineer depart ment. Many of the colliers and auxiliary vessels had to'start out with absolutely green crews , many of whom , so far from having the "sea habit , " had never been on a vessel of any kind. This must be rem edied If our enlarged fleet is to be eltlcleut. 11. That our fighting ships must have the highest practical speed. There Is an almost general agreement on this point among naval men. but If any thuught this did not apply to battleships the light nt Santiago must have shown that the highest practical speed Is Important In these vessels. It Is very gratifying , therefore , that our three new battleships are to have speeds of at least eighteen knots , which Is now recog nized as the standard. Develop * tlie Weak I'lilntN. The chief Bays that the most obvious effect of the emergency demand was to demonstrate In a vigorous manner the facilities and de ficiencies of the various navy yards and tiartlcularly to Justify the policy which had been previously advocated by his bureau of ulaclng the more southern yards and sta tions In n state of modern efficiency. The expenencu at Kiy West In mtetlng the first sreat rush created by the demand for repair work on the ships was a proof of the vast Increase In the cost of repair work occasioned by Insufficient buildings and plant. With pardonabfe pride the report dwells upon the tremendous amount of work ac complished by the bureau In preparing the fleet for war , involving the placing of new liollcra In the old monitor ? , the fitting out of ships In ordinary and for the equipment of the auxiliary navy , nearly 110 vessels being added to the regular force. Stress Is laid upon the importance of having the least accessible station In the navy , that of Key West , amply stocked with etores and tools tor emergency work and with this end In ' view the 'chief enclneer submits estimates for a complete equipment of the station. The record made by the repair ship Vulcan. It Is said , will convince the most skeptical { hat this floating ehop was of in- pstlmable value off Santiago , and that there Is not a more Important feature today than thn maintenance of such a ship well stocked , wfth every lafgo fleet. Therefore an apI I I proprlatlon Is asked for , for the procure- pjent of another such ship , and also for the J i equipment of another distilling ehlp ouch I art the Iris. | i The en lneer-ln-ch'ef says that there was a j i remarkable absence of casualty In the riiachinery departments of the vessels of the fighting squadron during the war. Even In iction. when lorced draft conditions 'were In Operation and the excitable natures of the men most wrought on by their surroundings , the report shows that tbo machinery not only worked well , generally , but that In no O.IEO was It greatly distressed. This Is a finn commentary upon the personnel as well ns on the machinery. Torneilo Hunt Too Delimit ; . The torpedo boats could not show the name excellent record. The reports says : It Is a sad aftolr that nearly every one has had soinb accidents and the machinery of some at the close of the war was In a condition that cau only be described as horrible rible , where boilers were burnt , cylinder covers broken , pistons and valves stuck anct everything In bad shape. This condition of affaire seemed attributable to two causes , tl'o absence of trained engineering supervi sion and the use of boata lor duty to which they were- not adapted. The rpport explains Its last comment by saying that It did not require much ex perience to prove that torpedo boats cannot ba safely used a * dispatch braU and as tenders for blockading ships far from base * of supply or facilities for clllclcnt repairs. Primarily , they uro Intended for high speed epurts wherever iucre a or failure In the pse of their special weapon should bo qul-kly demonstrated. For this they lire especially built , and for thU they should bo kept solely. Great itresi U laid upon the important * of water tube- boilers , and It Is said that It would now be hard to find any deelun for the machinery of new vessels which docs not Include water tube boilers , owing to the demand for small weight and high speed. It Is ald that the bureau had prepared plans for such boilers for the bat tleships last contracted for , but was pre vented from Installing them because of the department's decision that the ships bo Identically of the Alabama class. The In dividual plans , however , which wcro finally accepted will result In the use of the water tube boilers for these ships. Huference Is madn to the remarkable per formance of the little Turblna In England , but It Is said that the results obtained do not yet warrant an expectation of the sub stitution of the turbine tor the steam en- glno In the near future , though the experi mental work will bo carefully watched. The onglncer-ln-cltlcf Includes In his re port a very strong recommendation looking to the early advancement of the personnel bill now pending In congress , which he supports by n train of the most cogent reasoning.

The outlook Is exceedingly gloomy. Farmers al most despair of saving the balance of the crop. The barley and oat crops arc all out In fields , as well as wheat.

Wo earnestly hope that thn mnferrnee may result In a reduction of the excessive nrnm- mentEt. which arc n burden on the poJpli' . and in the establishment of some mctbod of judicial arbitration for the settlement. of International difficulties bv which may be preserved the principles of equity nud right , whereon rest the security of states and the welfare of peoples. Your majesty's appeal to International rtM- cusslon will stimulate the consciences of civilized notions and the Inauguration of 'his noble movement may well bo oouslilurul i. happy presage for the century , which Is about to open and mark nn epoch In th- ' progress of the world. We earnestly Invoi-o upon It the blessing of Almighty God and pray that It may help greatly to hasten flu * coming of the kingdom of the Prince of Peace on earth. The resolution was agreed to , 270 to 41. A further resolution favored Instructions to the United States commissioner to the czar's conference favoring the establishment of a permanent International court for the settlement of disputes which may arise be tween nations. There was objections to this plan and It was tabled. Sllrn Up .Spirited Coiitrov < Ty. Hev. D. W. It. Taylor of Los Angeles said that In view of the action relative to UK- czar of Russia , It was eminently proper that the house adopt the ppndlng resolution ex pressing thanks to Great Urltaln for the sympathy shown toward the United States during the recent war with Spain. It was particularly appropriate on this occasion , he said , while an eminent English church man , the dean of Hereford , was present. Mr. Taylor referred to the satisfaction ex pressed by President McKlnley at the course of Great Britain during the recent war period. The resolution aroused spllted : con troversy. J. H. StoUenburg of Indiana urged In vigorous terms thnt the resolution had no place before n church convention , but was political lu character and was more proper for the consideration of congress. It was urged , also , that the resolution tended toward a political alliance between the United States and Great Urltaln. When Mr. Stotzenburg moved to table the resolution there xvcre murmurs of "no , no , " and the motion to table was lost. The resolution was then adopted. As adopted It Is as fol lows : Resolved. That this general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church of the T'nlted Btntes of America places on record , Its sense of deep gratification nt the manl- U-btations of friendly feeling to our nation which have been BO freely and cordially shown by the government and empire of Great Britain during the late war with Spain , and expresses the sincere hope that the time mav sr-tedlly arrive when these two great nations of the Anglo-Saxon family , the United States of America and the British empire , shall stand together In defense of the rights and liberties of mankind and for the promotion of Christian civilization among the nations of the earth. On the Invitation of the presiding officer the dean of Hereford addressed the conven tion and expressed his hearty thanks , as an Englishman and for his country , for the cordial resolution Just adopted. He rejoiced at the friendly feeling between the two great nations. It tended to no warlike al liance , ho said , but natural union between those of common tongue and tradition. In stead of meaning war the alliance of the | nations would do more for peace , the dean ! said , than any other movement of nations. | Ho closed with nn expression of his intense desire for the unifying of the two countries. By unanimous vote the house .adopted a resolution fixing Ti'esday next , October 25 , as the day of final adjournment , the closing exercises to occur at S p. m. MlNNloniiry ] llMliiiiN | Ctumcil.
