O'REILLY'S VIEWS.
Does Not Think Jleatls of Depart
ments Will Uisk J'ajnueiit fur
rost-tVmtKict Service
n the City.
The MUwourl-lilison Electric Comimny
did not turn off Its incandescent lights in
ibe vartouK city inistitutionn south of W a."h
ingtoit avenue and north of Keokuk street
at 12 o'clock last night. Neither did It turn
off the ligh'a In th alleys and part.
Hut there has been no assurance given
the heads of departments a- yet that last
night was not too end of the service of
that company under the contract which
expired with the old year, and tbey es'i ect
that tho company will to-day disconnect
its wires, that, have for ten years been
carrying the current to the city InsUtutions.
S-JperviKor of City UghtinK A. J. O-llellly
staled last nisht that lie had received a
inter from Sccretnry Iiko of tl-e .Miysouri
Edison Company, .-dating that the lr.caude.
cent lighting service would be distontluued
to-day. uiiless the company was gien a
rontntct which would bind the city to the
payment of the bill for the wrvlce la the
Interim betw-cn the expiration of the oid
coutrjet and the bestnninc of any ikw
one that may be entered Into, ot for so
long a time as tho Mtasourt-Edison Com
pany should furnish the ligbt. Mr. O'Kellly
stated that be did not give any assurance
that there would be such a contrnct. and
declared that he had no inrormatioa which
would lead him to believe that the J1U-souri-Edlson
Company ha not done its last
lhrhtlng for the city, unless It should Kt
one or more of tho new contracts.
"Xo head of any department of the city
covernment has authority to Rive assur
ance that the city will pay for electric
lightim; rcrvicc that has not been con
tracted lor ac-:ordins to law " said Jir.
O'lteilly. "Any head of a department who
elves such assurance docs so at the ri-U of
having to pay the Mil out of his own porK-t,
It. is an assurance that I would not Rive.
anii T a0 not think anybody clue U going 10
civ- .. . ,,. department we hae r.iada
ail arrancments to g'
t along with coal on
lamim. c.inillis and iantort.s until such Jimc
as tho city Ehail ugain furnish us with
light.-
Superiiiieiident tl'llclllj-w View.
Mr. O'Reilly was risked If a bill for coal
oil would not come Under the same head as
one lor electricity "r gas.
"No." was Ins repl. "Tho head of a
department may make a reciulsitiuu ujwn
tho Commissioner of Supplies for a burrM
of coal oil. but ho cannot make such a
requisition for a barrel of s or elcctrici'y.
Thev do not come in visiblle quantities.
Coal oil is :; '-upplj.' while the turnwhing
td gas or electricity .ould be in the i atur
of a continuous scrvlie.' which is not
recognized as 1 Ins in the same categoiy."
Mr O Rellly then related that until Janu
ary I I"..', the tltv lighted all of its build
ings with gas without a contract, and also
that even now the public buildings south of
Keokuk strict ate llgrtod without a con
tract. Tho bills were yaM out of the gen
eral lund tie said, and there ivao never any
oucstion raised as to thetr legality. He was
asked if tills plan couid not bj pursujd lu
the prc-Knt emergency. ..,,,,
"1 do r.ot laiow." he t.aid. "1 do not think
that, under a ruling of ihe City Couns-'ior.
bald bills could legally lie ntclud.st as "ex
penses " In the i jse ot the tiuiillc build
ings In Carondelct, tin re has never bcc.n
ar.y auestlon raised as to the legality of the
bills for their lighting, although it ii
known of course, that the lighting Is done
without a contract. 1 would not attempt to
dissect the conditions that prevail in the
Carondelct district and in the other dis
tricts of Ihe citv and point out the differ
ences botwce.i them. Wl.'l. lo an- ioa
h:'s ever been rai-ti! in regard to tin; bills
fur gas consume-i by the public bail lin-rs
south of iveoku'.: street, stious qui-stlnis
would lw nii"i-d if buildings in other c.is
trut of the city wre lighted in a similar
wav without x c-ontrai i ''
Why I.IglitliiK w Coniiiiueil.
Tile statement has bc-;n in-tde on what
slimild be good authority that at the last,
moment the Missouri-Edison Company will
decide not to discontinue the service, and
that It will do as did the I.-ir lede Gaslight
c-oropany. which had the coim-tfi fur do
ing the city's Incandescent ligli.lng north
of Washington avenue, and which expired
nt the siine time that ihe Missouri-Edison
Company's did continue to do the lighting
and trust to the passage of a relief bill
by the Municipal Assembly for in iay. In
this is found by sum-, an etplanation of
the reason for the failure to shut oil the
lights last midnight.
Hut those who do not go bcnind the of
ficial correspondence in the matter find an
other explanation for the failure to discon
tinue the service promptly upon the minute
of the expiration of the contract. It is x
plained that the public buildings are not
served by sieclal circuits; but that with
i the sumo wires that the city lighting Is
.! I done; the oomranv also clotji li- commer
,,m rial business. To shut off the city's light
liv shutting oK the current would, tlien
fore, lie to shut off the private lights. This
the company could not afford to do.
The only way in wnicn trie lignts tor til"
public buildings could be shut oh. It is ex-
plained, would bo to dLscomiec't th- wires
-'at :n imiiutngs. ims woniu require mo

The imports into Cuba in 1.K. when nor

CZi. while llioso of the Sumoan Islali-ls in

of those islands Ik lug as a harbor and port
of repair, refuge and supplies.

Puerto Itico's ex?orts usually aliout equtl

t!'a Island icijulringlarge Importations of
maniifaiturt-H and tho agricultural products
of the temperate zone. The exportations of
these islands consist chiefly of sujur, to
iincco. cort'ee, tropic:il fruits and in the oasa
of the Philippines, hemp. From Cuba tho
sugar exports under normal condition
formed fully fo'ir-tlfthi of the total value
of articles oxporled. From the Hawaiian
Islands sugar tornis irobably nine-tenths
of the total exportation. From the Philip
pines exports of sugar and hemp are about
equal In value, together forming about four
fifths of the normal exportatlons; while
from Puerto Itlco eoffeo is the largest item
of export. Its exportation having been in
liJ more than three limes as great In
value as sugar, nnd forming considerably
more than one-half ths total cxjiortK of the
island.
Of tho 3,i0.0y1 acres composing the Island
of Cuba, not more than 2.'t,ojo have ev. r
been under cultivation. There are 17.'-'to
acres of viigin toies'. and '.'unu.i'o acres of
fertile plains wl u h have only served up to
this timo as restores and most of this land
is fertib . Similar condl'ions exist in the
Philippine Islai.ds. In IV' Hawaiian Is
1 1 nds the siigar-produiing area is being in
creased bv the introduction jMf irrigation.
Tlie eMior's oi sugar from the Hawaiian Is
lands in 1M", 1M'7 and lS.'-S, are nearly
double of those of li."''. IS7 and 1SSX. In
Puerto Hleo coffee production may be very
