1. XV. Hart, manager of the rlty mater
works company, wh-ii ask.''! yesterday If
the proposition as outlined at the meeting
.Saturday night of the cnmmtttee of the
whole of the rlty council to permit the
company to operate at the expiration of
Ita present franchise under a contract pend
ing a settlement of the negotiations for
tha purchase by the city of the plant would
be agreeable to hia company, said:
"All I know about the proposition Is from
what I read In the newspapers this morn
ing. Tha apeclal committee appointed by
the city council to confer with the water
works company has not yet waited on me
relative to thla new proposition, owing; to
the fact that It was only brought up Satur
day night, t'ntll the proposition Is laid
before me I am not In a position to express
any opinion regarding it. I prcsumo, how
ever, that the newspaper accounts are
substantially correct.
"I shall be pleased to meet with the com
mittee and take up the question of the
proposed contract and adjustment of rates
and do everything possible to bring about
a speedy and amicable solution of the
question."
Regarding the adjustment of rates, it Is
known that Inquiries made by some of the
aldermen regarding rates charged private
consumers in other cities of this state
developed the fact that the rates charged
by the water works compuny In this city
were lower than those elsewhere through
out tha atata.
The city council Is scheduled to meet tn
adjourned regular session tonight, at which
Lime a report on tho proceedings of the
committee of the wholo Saturday night. It
is expected, will be made and steps taken
toward some definite agreement between
the city and the water works company as
to the latter continuing to operate until
the courts ahull have decided the right of
the city to Issue the necessary bonds for
the acquirement of the plant.
WEDDING nOE OF CONTENTION
Justice Field Sees Dome of Ilia
Revenue Cut Off.
It Just happened that the day following
Rev. Henry DeLong, as probation officer
of the Juvenile division of the district
court, was granted permission by the
Board of County Supervisors to establish
an office tn the county court house he was
called upon to officiate at two marriages
in the office of tho clerk of the district
court.
Justice Field viewed with alarm the in
novation of having a minister of the
gospel on hand at the court house to
officiate at marriages. During the year Just
past Justice Field officiated at .1 wed
dings, but witli Rev. Henry rerong In
competition and with headquarters In the
court house he saw a shrinking in his
marriage fees. He decided that prompt
action waa necessary, so he sat down ani
drew up a protest which he Intended pre
senting to the Board of County Super
visors. The document set forth that pro
viding Rev. Henry DeLong with an office
In the court house in close proximity to
the office of the clerk of the court, where
the marriage licenses were issued, gave
the reverend gentleman an undue advan
tage over the Justlcea of the peace, not
to mention the other ministers of the gos
pel throughout the city.
The protest was duly drawn up and
signed by Justice Field, who sent it by
his constable to Justice E. B. Gardiner
to secure the letter's signature and en
dorsement. Justice Gardiner. however,
who since his election to office had se
cured the short end of the marriages, de
clined to attach his signature to tha docu
ment and he sent word to Justice Field
that he was In no way aggrieved at hav
ing Rev. Henry DeLong quartered In the
court house and at the same time. Judging
from the number of marriages that Justice
Field had performed during the laat twelve
months In comparison to those he had
officiated . at, he did not quite understand
how Justice Field had any complaint com
ing. The refusal of Justice Gardiner to attach
hla official signature to the protest re
sulted In Justice Field deciding not to
present the document to the Board of
County Supervisors.

LEGISLATORS IN A TANGLE

for tha Ltwyara.
POLITICS IN LEG.S.ATIVE EMPLOYES
luminlna apirtera In Both the
ennte and House Elect Their
Candidates by Decisive
Majorities.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINES. Jan. 7. (Special.) To tin
solve the tangle In the contest for the seat
for O'Brien county between Whltmer, the
democrat, and Youde, the republican, will
take the best efforts of the best constitu
tional lawyers of the house. Thus fsr there
Is no one who Is able to say bow the house
should proceed, since there is no precedent
as a guide. Governor Cummins believed he
had no alternative except to call a special
election when the county auditor of O'Brien
county notified him that there was a va
cancy In the position of representative, and
so he ordered the election. It Is now
claimed that as Youde has the certificate
of latest date from the secretary of state
the house will have to allow him to be
sworn when the members take the oath
next Monday. Then It Is claimed that
Whltmer will be forced Into the position of
being the contestant. But the thirty days
previous to the opening of the session In
which contests are allowed has expired and
It Is next claimed that Whltmer having al
lowed the limit of time to expire cannot
contest for the seat. This would force him
clear out and give the seat to Youde. If
this is permitted then every time a county
auditor notifies the governor of a vacancy
the governor will be forced to call an elec
tion and the result will be that no member
will be secure of his seat If the auditor
takes It In his head to declare a vacancy.
The matter can only be referred to a com
mittee, nnd It will be up to the committee
to solve the matter and report to the house.
The committee will hear the attorneys of
both Wbitmer and Youde and It will prob
ably take several days hefore the matter
Is finally determined.
Politics lii Selection.
Politics ruled In the selection of the em
ployes of both senate and house nt the re
publican caucusses yesterday. General H.
M. Ryrrs was a strong candidate for ser
geant -at -arms In the house and was sup
ported by the stand-patters. J. HeRle
tlngor. a Cummins and progressive repub
lican, was selected by a vote of 37 to 25. In
the senate Miss Inez Black, supported by
the Cummins republicans, was selected
over Miss McCready, supported by the
stand patters for the position of enrolling
clerk. The stand-patters claim it was a
deliberate Injection of factional lines In the
selection of the employes of senate nnd
house when there whs no cause for so do
ing. The Cummins supporters allege that
they would have been perfectly willing for
the other candidates to have gone in had
they not discovered that the stand -pn I ters
were preparing in the event of the selection
of the stand-pat candidates to claim a vic
tory over Governor Cummins. This, they
claim, forced them to select the Cummins
candidates.

UNIONIST POLICY ARRAIGNED
Sir Henry Campbell-Rannernian Pe
ll vers an Addreaa to the
Voters.
LONDON, Jan. 7. The election address
of Sir Henry Campbell-Rannernian. the
premier, Is wholly devoted to a severe
Indictment of the late government's record
and Its policy on protection and to re
ferring the electors to his public declara
tion on assuming office for an exposition
of his government's Intended policy. The
premier declares that the last decade rep
resents a well-nigh unbroken expanse of
mismanagement and legislation conducted
for the benefit of privileged classes, of
wars and adventures abroad hastily em
barked upon and hnstily pursued, and the
legacy the unionists bequeathed to their
successors is In the main a legacy of
embarrassment, public mischief and con
fusion absolutely appalling In Its extent
and ramifications.
He declines to regard Mr. Balfour's free
trade tenets as having more than a nom
inal place In the estimation of the ma
jority of tha unionists, whosa fiscal re
form policy he holds is fraught with In
calculable mischief to the nation and the
empire. Ha characterizes protection as Im
moral and oppressive, based. ' as he said
It must be. on the exploitation of the
community In the Interest of favored
trades and financial groups and declsres
the policy of his government will be to
hold fast to the time-honored principles
of liberalism, peace, economy, self gov
ernment and civil and religious liberty and
to pursue a substantial continuity of the
foreign policy without departing from the
friendly and unprovocatlve methods ad
hered to by previous liberal administra
tions. The Morning Post. In a long article dis
cussing the fiscal question, points out that
retaliation alone will be a practically use
less weapon against the Cnlted States and
other protectionist countries. To be effec-
I tive. the paper says, retaliation must be
i combined with colonial preference. Tt ad.ls
that with the help of Canada a Go-cent duty
on foreign wheat would turn every wheat
grower In the western part of the Tnlted
States Into an opponent of the MeKinlev
tariff.
RUSSIAN LOAN POSTPONED
Temporary Advance hy Paris Bankers
to Tide the Government
Over.
PARIS, Jan. 7. M. Kokovsoff, former
Russian minister of finance, who came here
to negotiate another Russian loan, prac
tically confirms the statement made In
these dispatches yesterday that the loan
has been postponed. French bankers are
now considering tho making of temporary
advances In order to support the stability
of Russian finances.
In the course of an Interview today, Mr.
Kokovsoff made a statement relative to
Russia's real financial position. He said:
"The budget for 11VXI, which Is about to
be presented to the council of the empire,
comprises an extraordinary budget of
ttlS-W of which only SS,00O,n00 is
covered by the excess ofc revenue from the
ordinary budget. Thus 1241.600,000 remains
to be provided. Three of the heaviest
Items Included therein 'are provisions for
the repatriation of the' troops In the far
east, their maintenance' until their return
to Russia and the reimbursement of
Japan's outlay for the Russian prisoners
of war. Other smaller extraordinary ex
penses Include the maintenance of the
families of reservists, succor for the vic
tims of distress, railroad construction and
subventions for the naphtha Industry."
M. Kokovsoff said Russia could, without
difficulty. Issue an Internal loan to meet
these exnenses. but It was considered
preferable not to float It until the second
half of the year In order not to affect the
proper administration of the national re
sources. Therefore, he said. It was thought
desirable to arrange for foreign participa
tion similar to that Indicated yesterday.
In eonrtoslnn M. Kokovsoff said:
"The difficulties through which we have
Just passed, though grave, were never suf
ficiently serious to affect Russian credit."

CLASS A DOMINATES ASSOCIATION
Chance Proposed In National Asso
ciation of Ball Clnba.
CHICAGO, Jsn. 7 Chairman D. M.
Snively of the committee, to revise the
constitution of the National Association
of Base Ball Leagues adjourned until to
morrow the session of that body scheduled
for today on account of the Inability of
President J. D. O'Brien of the American
association and Harry Taylor of the East
ern league to reach here in time for the
meeting.
"There will be lots of changes made In
the constitution." said Chairman Snlvelv
today, "some cf them of slight importance
and a few of vital Interest to all of the
minor leagues. I think the chief alteration
will be a clause giving class A leagues
voting power equal to all the remaining
clubs. That Is a right the biggest of tho
minor leagues have boon fighting for for a
long time and it was practlcnlly guaranteed
to them when the American association
came in under the national agreement.
"The class A leagues will have a majority
on the board of arbitration as the plan Is
now arranged. There are five members of
the lioard and three of them will have to
be class A men."
There is probably a fight ahead over the
question of who the five men will be on t
the board of arbitration.
