Sevri time within the laat week at

of th pared streets, espoclally those In
lb business portion of th city. Inquiries
mode yesterday disclosed that tha admin
istration la badly hampered at tbta time (or
fuMda to properly clean the street.
Property owners and renter of atorea
-alike seem to disregard the ordinances In
force til connection with the throwing ot
store sweeping Into the gutters. Glass la
Iko thrown on the streets and Into the

. ftort baa been made by the street depart
ment officials to cut down expenses and

udates undoubtedly hare been cut down, Sp
pct.raners have not been kept up.
An official of the city aaid laat evenlne
(hut, if possible, an effort would be made
khlb winter to secure enough money to
.iiurchase a. street aweeper and then the
pvd Uresis could be kept passably clean

o the city have remarked on the eondltlon
ot the prinolpal thoroughfares and an ex
Vlanation bad to be made. Tbe city su

only relief apparent Is through a change

funnel! Meeting Toolsht.
Considerable interest was manifest yes
terday in the meeting ot the city council,
10 be held tonight. Two remonstrances
gainst the granting of telephone ordt
nsace bare been Bled and It la expected
that these will be read by the clerk. The
01 log of the remonstrances signed by more
than one-fifth of tbe voters practically pre
vents the council from granting franchises
to the two companlea. at this time. Tha
matter will therefore have to go over until
the el'.ctlon In April. The question ot the
overlap probably will be dlscusBed end some
arrangements may be mads for tbe appoint
ment of committee to look over tbe char
ter and suggt-st amendments, with a view
to securing more revenue In order that the
;lty,'a debts my be paid as soon as pos
sible. A bond proposition at this time Is
out of the question, so that relief must be
nought from the legislature.

Ml members of the finance committee of
the council are figuring bow to save money,
In order that the present overlap of $78,000
rnay not be Increased. It has been sug
gested that the number of policemen and
firemen be reduced, hut this plsn la not
favored by taxpayers, as It Is stated that
neither department has enough men now.
Kven should theae department be reduced
there still would be an oyvrltp In the
funds. There Is not enough money In the
(Ire (und now to settle. October bills, to say
- -nothing of salaries. The water fund Is
depleted ami the money on hand cannot
run the police department much longer.
As yet no plan haa been devised whereby
the city can raise revenue enough to meet
Its obligations In the departments men
tioned. Xsaberlss Honsce.
In some parte of the city houses ire being
1'iimbered In accordance with the Instruc
tion Issued by the city authorities some
months, ago. There seems to be & need of
a thorough renumbering on aocount of the
increase in small houses In all parts of the
tty. A suggestion Is to be made to the
city council soon to this effect. While the
business portion of the elty Is fairly well
taken ears of m this matter, there Is, It
Is stated, a rhsnce for Improvement In the
residence portions.
"till Repairing Walks.
City Engineer Deal, who Is also In eharge
of the street department, proposes to make
all of tbe sidewalk repairs this week that
lie can. so as to Insure ft much good walk
as possible before winter comes. In some
cases only a plank or two are needed, while
In others portions of walks three snd four
feet In width have been removed. Gradually
the business portion of the city Is getting
down to permanent walks and this tends In
a great measure to save the city money In
rases where accidents might happen and
damage aulta be brought.

warrants. It was reported on the streets
yesterday that the members of the board
had decided not to Issue any more warrants
this month. The reason for this action has

Referring to the meeting Baturdsy night
In regard to the chargea against four mem

that I would obtain the resignations of the
four accused members of the Bosrd of
Education In case the charges rould be
withdrawn, or nolled by the county attor

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. A bulletin Is
sued by the United States Geological Sur
vey on Russian and American petroleum
production says Russia haa produced since
1897 more petroleum then the t'nited
States, last year the output in Russia being
R5.000.000 barrels and In the United States
69.000,000 barrels.
But the facilities for handling the Rus
sian product are crude, costly and wasteful
and the markets are far away.
It Is said that three and a half barrels
of oil equals one ton of Russlsn cost, which
Is high-priced and Inferior In quality, and
It Is only the Irregulsr supply and the
fluctuating price which prevents the sale
ot larger quanitlne of fuel oil in the In
terior of Russia.
During 1900 Russia produced about 17.
800.000 abort tone of coal, the higher grades
ot which sell from 17 to $8 per ton. Dur
ing the same yesr the United States pro
duced about 270,000,000 short tons.
All the countries bordering on the Medi
terranean are poorly supplied with fuel, so
but two-thirds of the totsl production of
oil at Baku, about 81.000,000 barrels in 1901,
now finds a market as fuel oil.
The total petroleum exporta In IffOl were
428,657,210 gallons from Russia and 1.062.
TiO.308 from the United States. The great
est difference is shown In refined petro
leum. Of the total world's production of crude
petroleum In 1901. 166.SJS.733 bsrrels, the
United Btates produced 69.389.194, or 41.98
per cent, and Rusnla 81.fil6.556. or 61.49 per
cent, and yet of the total production of re
fined petroleum of all grades In 1901, esti
mated at 1,500.000,000 gallons, the United
States produced 911,120,944 gallons, or 60.7
per cent, and Russia 414,122,990 gallons, or
only 27.7 per cent.

In the afternoon a reconnaissance was
made and after sharp fighting the enemy
was asain driven tiff.
I deeply regret to report the following
casualties: Colonel Phillips and CaptaJn
ngus and fifty men were Killed and about
1W men wounded. The latter Include Cap
tain, Howard and lieutenant Everett, but
both are doing well. There were revere
treses among the transport and riding
camels. Tho force will reach the stockade
tomorrow and will advance to attack the
enemyi
The vice consul also telegraphs the sub
stance of a larger dispatch from Colonel
Swayne. who says that aa a result ot the
lighting at Erego October 6, which was
very severe, the Somali levies are con
siderably shaken. The Mullah, who la said
to be in communication with Kali and
Inger, In the direction of the Webbe river.
la bringing up reinforcements from all
aides.
Colonel Swayne Is much hampered, owing
to the necessity of transporting the
wounded and of want of water. Ho ia re
tiring on Bohotle. He asks that 60o fur
ther reliable troops be dispatched from
Berbers.
The reverse places the small British
force ot about 3,000 men ot doubtful re
liability In an exceedingly -perilous situa
tion. Since the beginning of Colonel Swayne's
second campaign against tbe Mullah last
May little haa been beard of the expedi
tion. Present dispatches seem to Indicate
that be was retreating from the Italian
frontier northward when the Mullah at
tacked him.
Early last December the Mullah was re
ported to have had 12,000 men, most of
them armed and mounted. He la now sup
posed to have 16,000 men. Wlla theae forces
harrasaing him, Colonel Swayne had to re
treat to Bohotle, 150 miles, and perhaps
100 mllea further to the principal frontier
post.
The Mullah's auccess will set the whole
Ogaden and Dolbahanta country aflame.
