Speculation was rlf yesterday to what action Mayor Koutsky would take la connection with th report ot tbe license committee In regard to the opening of sa loon on Sunday. , When Interrogated yesterday afternoon by a Bee reporter Mayor Koutsky deliv ered himself of a few remark about those who hav been pretending to be hi friend nd then went on to say that be had not made op hi tnlnd yet wbat he would do. H declared that after a consultation with th city attorney and other be anight give aa opinion later la tbe week. Among the liquor dealer th Idea pre vail that th adoption of the report of the license committee by tbe council settles the matter and tbat all th mayor bas te do Is to settle back In his chair and aay nothing. One city official said last wventng that he did not see how ths mayor could hope to win out by golns erslnst tbe eolld vote of the council. "If h doe." catd this member, "he will have a hard time getting through any improvements or ap pointments that h desires, aa th council aa It stands now will overrule any veto th mayor may hand down." But this la not all the grief that I com ing to tboae wbo anticipate the Sunday opening of saloons. There Is t be joint meeting of tbe Taxpayer' league and th Antl-Baloos league on Thursday Bight, when tbe question of mandamuses aad other point of law will be brought up.

Yesterday Mayor Koutskr and the mem ber of the council were apprised of tb fact that Aucust Millar, atrnat fnnno. had enme two week ago ordered from a locai Dunning material firm a carload of vitrified brick. The Brm had to aend te Dei Moines for tbe brick and the ear wag unloaded without delay In order to save demurrage. Now the building material concern ha tbe brick, oa hand and the council declines to pay for the same, as serting that Miller had no authority to order the brick. The carload eost fits and the freight added make tbe total 1170. A demand ha been made on th city for the money, but the eouncllmen assert that aa Miller or dered the material without havlpg- been given Instructions be alone caa be held liable. According to the rule of the coun cil a treet foreman ha no right to order material of any kind without first securing the approvat of tbe street and alley com mittee and th sanction of tb mayor. When Miller ordered tbe carload . of c- -i Ul ne wanted It to re pair the asphalt pavement os Twenty fourth street. At tb time the order wa given tbe city wa advertising for bid for the repairing of the street with eonerote and asphalt.

Tbe prosecution arose under tbe solicitors' ordinance and the objection raised wa that tb license fee asked wa excessive. In the ruling Judge Estelle stated that the fee waa not exceaslre, ae It waa a revenue raising act under which the city was act big when th ordinance was pasaed and that the only flaw la the ordinance wa the fact Xhat It provided for the employer of tb solicitor taking out a license and aot tbe solicitor himself. It was stated yes terday tbat at the nsxt meeting of the council tbat body will be asked to amend tha ordinance la tbia one respect, and that when that la dons all parties participating in tie business of eolIciUag will be ex pected to provide themselves with a li cense before doing business.

At a meeting ot the Omaha Musician' union Tuesday morning a resolution calling upon th friend ot organised labor to op pose David H. Mercsr wa adopted. Tb trouble between Mr. Mercer and the nnlon grow out of hi alleged action la tb employment' of th Twenty-second regiment band for th recent excursion ta Deadwood. . George, Abbott, manager of en of the MuBlcal union bands, said: "When th men wbo arranged tbe Dead wood excursion decided tbat they wanted th band from Fort Crook they called upon Colonel Miller ot th -Twenty-second regi ment, and were told that It would be Im possible tor tbe band to accompany tbeta 09 the trip. They then came to m and asked me If I could form a band for th occasion. I told, them I eould and wa Instructed to get my men together to leav at a moment' notice. . At tbe same time I wa told tbat it the Tort Crook band could be secured f would not be wanted. Relying on the decision of the colonel a final. I went ahead, only to End the morn ing the excursion was to start that Mercer had called on General Bates and had the decision of the colonel aet aside. "Tbe band at Fort Crook Is a govern ment organisation. ' It men are paid by the cltlsena and the musicians of Omaha pay their proportion. It doea not seem fair to ua to have this band come in and take from o eur or-ly mean Cf support. W would have had a week's employment tor twenty men If Mr. Mercer had let us aloha, but ha seems to have little regard for tbe worklngmaa and tha worklngmau will take the opportunity to return to him in kind. He threw us out of a Job and we will see If we can get blm out ot the Job be hold." ! At the meeting of the nntoa yesterday It was decided to bring the resolution before the Central Labor union for th combined action of all of tbe unions of th city.
