P. Miller & Co. , two of the Chicago firms
which were among the bidders recently be-
ere the city council on the proposition to
construct a municipal electric lighting plant ,
have pooled Issues. At the meeting of the
city council Jlonday night they submitted
hrough George Mayer , secretary of the
Seckncr company , a joint request for a
ranchlso for a gas and electric light plant ,
accompanied with a proposition to light the
city nt a certain figure. The proposition ,
which gives the city the option of purchasing
ho plant , is as follows :
CHICAGO. Oct. 7.-Hon. Mnypr and City
Council of Council Bluffs , la. Gentlemen :
AVe hereby submit n request for n franchise
for the construction of an electric light
and gns plant In your city for the term of
twonty-flve ypnra and ask that the follow-
ng memorandum of conditions bo embodied

lonornblo body may deem nonossary In
bphnlf of your city and the inhabitants.
The rate for gas shall bo as follows :
$1.25 per 1,000 feet. A discount of 20 per
cent to bo deducted for prompt payment
during the month ; date to bo such as you
consider proper. The rates for electric
lighting to the Inhabitants of your city
shall bo 30 cents per month for each in
candescent light , with permission to mnko
contracts nt a less rate with largo con
sumers , or to plaro nil lights on a meter
system and charge not to exceed 8 cents
per 1,000 watts , with a minimum charge
of 15 cents per month for each light.
Rates for commercial are lights to bens

and explained In detail what the people
represented proposed doing. On motion of
Alderman Johnson the matter was referred
to the committee of the whole , a meeting
to bo lield Thursday night of next week.
Later during the proceedings a resolution
was adopted that the city rcadvertlso for
bids for lighting the city tor five , ten or
fifteen years , according to the same plans
as iboforo.
Alderman Sayles opposed the motion , stat
ing that he did not believe the city was at
present In a position to taku up the respon
sibility of owning and operating Its own

Brough said ho guessed his two confrercen
were about right. Tno resolution , however ,

passed , The proposed change Is south of
the 1)lock switch tower at the northern end
of the Northwestern's yards at a point where
the highway curves to the west toy reason
of the fluffs nnd approaches close to the
company's present tracks. The tracks also
curve considerably at this point , so that
the view of the switch tower Is obscured
nnd the railway Is desirous of taking the
kink out before laying Its second track. In
order to tlo this the railway has purchased
the necessary ground , and under1 the terms
of the ordinance will donate It to the city
and grade It. The portion of the road BO
changed will lie about 1,600 feet long and
will do away with the present curves. Tbo
ordlnanco provides that the roadway shall
bo sixty ifeot wide , with a 2 per cent grado.
At no place shall the railway tracks como
within fifteen feet of the roadway , which
Is to bo .further protected by a six-foot tight

MAKING TROUBLE IN SAMOA
Indention" ilmtntlien Arcl'rri > nr
IIIK for IloiKMvnl of tlic
Strife.
NEW YOniC , Oct. 0. A special to the
Herald from Washington says : Some ap
prehension Is felt In official circles over the
condition of nrfnlrs iircralllnfr In Sixtnoa.
The State department is without complete
advices from Consul General Osborne regard
ing the situation , hut Sufficient lo known
to mnko Iho authorities understand that the
natives arc again plotting. It Is not be-
llovcd , however , that there will bo a re
turn of the lighting which occurred last
April , unices there haa been n heavy Im
portation of firms , which Is expressly for
bidden by the provisions of the Ucrlln
treaty. It will bo recalled that when the
Badger returned from Sa.aoa It brought In
Its hold 1,500 rlflca belonging to the natives.
These rifles nro now In the armory at Mare
Island , California , nwaltlng the disposition ot
Great Britain , Germany and the United
States.
All thrco nations arc represented by men-
of-wnr In Samoan waters. Tbo United States
has the auxiliary cruleor Abarendo , under
the command Commander I ) . F. Tllley.
The Abarendo waa sent to Apia particu
larly to ( facilitate the establishment of n
conllng elation at Page Page , but It Is pre
sumed that Commander Tllley has made ar
rangements to maintain communication with
Consul General Oaborne and that In case ot
trouble It will take station at Apia and pro
vide protection for American Interests.
The charge Is renewed that Germans In the
islands are spreading dissatisfaction among
the natives and It would not bo surprising If
certain of these men are plotting again with
Mataafa , who has remained In Samoa. The
three governments have not yet formally
adopted the recommendation of the high
joint commission which Investigated the
Samoan question , nor are negotiations lookIng -
Ing to this end likely to bo set on foot until
the return ot Secretary Hay.
