Briefs on behalf of C. C. Wright, the re lator, were filed with the court this morn ing, and Ed P.

Mr. Gillett of Massachusetts In half hour's speech declared that the Intemper ance of Mr. Wheeler'a language carried Its own condemnation. Nevertheless, he (Gil lett) grievously deplored such an affront to a foreign country. During the course of the speech two dem- yacht would only accommodate 200 people. These will be Prince Henry and his party. the president and his delegates, and such others as can be accommodated. Prince Henry will visit Columbia uni versity on February 28 at or about 11 a. m. He will be met on the university grounds, directly in front of the main entrance to the library, by Prof. William Carpenter VUlard, rled by those opposing the state and city administrations, the independent repub licans having formed coalitions with the democrats under the head of the citizens' party. In the other cities state and local is sues were fought out. Scranton elected P. W. Costello, democrat, for mayor. Wllkes- barre elected a republican mayor, Charles H. Price. Reading gave 850 majority for Edward Yeager, democrat, for mayor. At Harrlsburg Vance C. McCormlck, the democratic candidate for mayor, Is elected by 2,000 majority. McCormlck Is but 29 years of age and was captain of Yale's foot ball team of 1892. At Lancaster anti-Quay republicans Joined with the democrats against Chester Cummtngs, the Quay republican candidate ernor, but feels that the issuance of the writ prayed for would be an unwarranted use of the powers of the court, and that he would not be performing his constitutional duty did he not protest to the fullest ex tent.

One was the introduction of an ordinance bonding the city in the sum of $190,000 to fund out standing Indebtedness, and the ether was the mayor's veto of the city market house ordinance. The refunding bond ordinance, after vigorous objection from Lobeck, was read the second time and referred to the judiciary committee. The market house project was carried over the mayor's veto by a unanimous vote. The market house ordinance was passed at the meeting of February 2. It proposes to locate the house on Capitol avenue, be tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, and to appoint a board of three appraisers to assess the value of the property con demned. Mayor's Veto Message. The mayor's veto follows: To the Honorable, the t'llv Council of the Oltv nf Omtihit. (lAnllnmpn: I return hore- wlthout my approval of document 37, passed Dy your nonorable body at your last rcguiir meeting. The matters Involved In this pro Dosed ordinance are of larae Importance and genera.1 public Interest and I have given tnem carerul consldertlon Deiore taxing final action In relation to them. I think It is pretty generally conceaa that the city oimht to have a market houfie. The people differ, quite radically, however, an to the question of location, character and cost of the structure. The proposed ordinance 1b the preliminary step In a plan to permit a syndicate of Interested property owners to erect a mar ket house on tliat part or uapitoi avenue vacated by this ordinance, such structure to be either owned or operated by them until the' revenues therefrom reimburse them for the monev exriended. or else to be owned by the city upon the city obligating ltseir to repay tne money loanea Dy me promoters. This scheme has several very serious dlHU-nllli n. In the first place, if the Plan Is to have the syndicate remain the owners of the building until the city purchases, the Question arises whether the municipal authorities have the right to turn over to private Individuals, witnout compensation, nuhlle atreetn to be used for private profit. pariiuuin-riy eireeis wiiii:ii imvn umi i curpea ana Bewereu ai tne expense ui ahutttna nronertv owners, some of whom are adverse to such a plan. I doubt very much whether such a scheme could be legally consummated. Antagonistic to Charter Powers, In the second place. If the Idea Is to have the city own the market house, subject to a Hen of the promoters, this plan Is an tagonists to the charter powers of the city, which provide that the municipality can onlv borrow monev by means of a bond Issue to be approved by the people at a special election. in my judgment, tnererore, neuner oi ae proposed plans can be legally carried out. Another serious question to be considered Is the desirability of the proposed location. Other things being equal, the market house should be erected as near as possible to the geographical center of the city and in th. ntnr f nnnulatlon. I am advised by the city engineer that the geographical center to abejUff-Tvrentyi seventh' and Ottt tornta. streets, while the center of popula tion, according to careful figures, has been located at about Nineteenth and Farnam streets. A glance at the map shows that th. rnnltnl a.venu. location is not a de sirable place for a permanent market house. It is clear at the east Biae or tne city, neither buslnesa nor residence prop erty, and the center of business is rapidly moving further away from It to the south. All indications point to further movement southward and westward. Again, 1 am opposed to the erection of a cheap makeshift market house. In the building of a market house we must take into consideration the future of Omaha as well as the present. In the course of Ave or ten years Omaha will double in popula tion and this must be borne in mind. Suggests Creditable Market Honsc. I would suggest that a proposition be submitted to the people at the next Novem ber election to vote 8200,000 of twenty-year 8'4 per cent bonds for the erection of a creditable permanent market house that will answer the needs of the city for years to come. Under the plun now being urged of private ownership the cost as proposed is to be about 835,000, and it would take It nr .oven vm.ru to oav off this amount with Interest If 87,000 were paid yearly. The interest at 3 per cent on ju,uw amounts to but $7,000 per year. Surely, If the cheap makeshift proposed on Capitol avenue will produce $7,000 per year there ought to be no difficulty In doubling that amount with a suitable building at a desirable location. Such a building could be made to accommo- date a nre company ana tne money now paid for rental of one engine house could DC SftVcd. A market house of the kind Indicated would be much more than self-supporting from the start ana tne excess couia w placed In a sinking fund to care for the LnH. at their mnturltv. Thus, at the end of twenty years Omaha would have an up-to-date market house and grounds, all paid for and our cltlsens wouia not oe ouraenea with taxes for the same. ,A large majority of our citizens are op posed to the Capitol avenue plan for the reasons I have given.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 18. The body of Noah Long, tte old man who, according to Rhoda Taylor's confession, after being robbed on the night of January 30 was thrown from the old southern bridge which spans the Kaw river between Ar gentine and Armourdale, was found today not forty feet from the spot Indicated by the woman's confession. There were no wounds on the body, and the doctors who held an autopsy over the body decided that the man's death was caused by drowning. The body was found by some laborers who were trying to release some sand scows from the Ice. They will receive the $8,000 reward offered for the body. The coroner Immediately summoned a Jury, which will hold an Inquest tomor row. The finding of the body corroborates the statement of Rhoda Taylor that the old man, after being robbed of the $120 pension money he had received that day was thrown Into the river. Henry Dona hue, jr., and James Goff, according to the confession, threw Long Into the river, but David Moran, Marjorle Donahue and Rhoda Taylor were all parties to the robbery and all are held on suspicion of complicity In the murder. Their preliminary hearing is set for next Wednesday. INSURANCE RATES ADVANCE Twenty-Five Per Cent Increase Con. templated Bait of Rockies as Result of Big Fires. NEW YORK, Feb. 18. The Journal of Com merce tomorrow will say that at a largely attended meeting of fire Insurance com panies held Tuesday afternoon a resolution was adopted which provides for an advance of rates throughout the United. States, east of the Rocky mountains, with the exception of New York city and its immediate vi cinity. The resolution, as given by the Journal of Commerce, gives as the reason for this advance that losses have been very great and during 1901 a remarkably large number of fire insurance companies were forced to liquidate. The Paterson and Waterbury conflagrations, coming on the heels of a bad year, necessitated prompt action. It was agreed that throughout the country rates shall be advanced 25 per cent on mercantile stocks, in all buildings, except such as are occupied as owelllngs above the grade floor and on frame store build ings," also flfanufacttinng rTaks and other special hasards which have not been rated under revised and reported schedules within one year.
