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 I services of a number oi" men. and it is i .,.-... .i.... i. ..t.i .... .... - ...I.. potllieo oni nidi ii nuui.i ms jinpiuciii .ui- to send these men out at midnight, instead ; of allowing th tn to do the work of discm- nc i'ng the n.x' Horning Thefor-. it is I o !.'

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 .
