ALDERMEN ARE CAUTIOUS
ARE AFRAID JOHN M'CARTHY
HAS A CINCH
They Doubt the Authority of the
Mayor to Remove a Bailiff 'Who
Han Been Conllrmed by tb<e
JiidK-rs — Telephone Franchise
May Be Forfeited for Its Nob-
Fnllilintent.
Mayor Kiefer notified the board of
aldermen at the meeting of that body
Inst evening that he had removed
Thomas McMahon as a member of th?
police force. The aldermen concurred
In the removal by a unanimous vote of
lh«- nine members present.
A notification to the same effect was
made as io the removal of Bailiff J.
C. McCarthy. Aid. Knauft moved the
action be -..incurred ln, but Aid. Mur
phy suggested a reference to the com
mittee on police. Mr. Murphy stated
thai in the case of McCarthy he was
confirmed by the judges of the muni
cipal court, and it was possible that
tin mayor bad not the power to remove
•him without the consent of the judges.
Aid. Knauft contended that McCarthy
v.:-.- simply a patrolman, and out of
courtesy to ihe mayor It would be only ;
light to agr«e to the change. The mo- i
tlon to refer to the committee on po- |
lice was earned by a vote of five to
four, thos'* voting for the reference
being Mcesra Ban'tz, Bell, Kenny,
•Murphy and Kiev s. The appointment
cf John Thill, vice McCarthy, was a'so
referred to the same committee.
Tin- app itntment of Edward N. Par
ish, vice Thomas McMahon removed.
was approved, as were also the ap
pointments of Reginald H. Ames, vici
Keating resigned, and Henry C Gyde
son, vice Soren Sorenson resigned!
The ordinance passed by the assem
bl> allowing the Mississippi Valley
Telephoni company the use of certain ]
streets for conduit ar.d p.»le lines was
ref« rred to the committee on streets on
motion of Aid. Kenny. The Third ward
alderman •*.•"> id he noticed by the ordl- |
nance that the new company was given j
the null- to tear up the pavement on j
Sixth street, from Kittson to St. Peter
street, in older to lay a conduit. Pave
ments torn up, he said, were never
properly relald, a n d the property own
ers who ba.l paid for them should have
some right. *. lie failed to see any rea
son why the new company could not
use the conduits already on the streets
to put th dr wires in, instead of spoil
!ng goi d pavements like that on Sixth
rtn et
Aid. Shepard favored the passage of
tbe ordinance without more delay,
etating that the company was anxious
to get to work on the construction of
its lines. The ordinance, however,
went to the streets committee for con
sideration, but Aid. Shepard, who is
chairman of the committee, announced
that the matter would be taken up at
a meeting of the committee to be held
Thursday afternoon.
Aid. Donahower requested the cor
poration attorney to submit an opin
ion at the next meeting as to whether
the Mississippi Valley company had
not, under the ordinance, forfeited Its
franchise. Mr. Donahower explained
that the ordinance provided that sixty
days after its passage It should be
accepted, and fifteen days after such
acceptance work of constructing iLs
system should commence. The ordi
nance was passed March 23, and the
(seventy-live days had expired June 7.
The city engineer had stated that, so
far as he knew, the company had done
no work, and if he was correct the
ordinance was already forfeited and
the bondsmen could be held.
The motion to have the corporation
attorney report on the forfeiture ques
tion was adopted, the understanding
being that the report would be sub
mitted at an adjourned meeting of the
board, to be held Thursday night.
Aid. Bantz handed ln an ordinance
fixing the wages of the street sweep
ers at $1.50 per day, whether under the
competitive system or otherwise. The
alderman stated that some of the •
street sweepers were working for $4.50 |
per week. The ordinance was referred
to the committee on streets. It be
ing explained that the sweepers had
taken the contract for the season, and
that it would not be practical to fix
the wages at $1.50 per day under the
circumstances.
The petition from the Commercial
club and other citizens relative to the
paving of East Seventh street, from
the railroad bridge to Hope, as well
as the adverse report from the board
of public works on the Improvement
was referred to the aldermen from
the Second and Third wards.
Aid. Kenny stated that there would
be a conference with the board of pub
lic works on the matter, and it was
possible that a final order would be
passed ordering the streets repaved
early in the spring of 1&99.
Ordinances were passed under a
suspension of the rules settling the
claims of T. B. Fitzgerald and Mary
Parson against the city for $500 each.
The claimants fell through a sidewalk
on Jackson street near the Great
Northern bridge in January last and
each brought suit for $10,000 damages.

the sureties were all right.
The resolution which passed the as
sembly directing the payment of $50
from the city treasury to make the
mayor a member of the League of
American .Municipalities was laid on
the table. Aid. Sanborn said the pay
ment of the $50 membership fee would
be but the starter for an appropriation
of $500 to allow the city officials to at
tend the convention soon to be held
and he was of the opinion that the
money could be used by the city to bet
ter advantage. The other members
agreed with the Seventh ward states

The resolution directing the payment
of the premium on a surety bond foi
the city treasurer was laid on the ta
ble, the explanation being made that
the treasurer had arranged to pay the
piemium and furnish the bond himself.
Aid. Sanborn stated that, as it was
advisable that the bond be approved
at an early date, and the bond would
be ready Tuesday, it would be well to
adjourn until that evening, which was
agreed to.

INDIANA BOY LOST $15.
He Visited a "Second-Hand" Store
on Lower Third Street.
Charles B. Weimple, an elghteen-year-o'd
| youth, making his first trip out Into the
i world, fell a victim to local conflder.ee men
j at a second-hand store, 189 East Third stree*.
| yesterday, when he claims to havo been
j swindled out of $15.
The young man arrived ln St. Paul yester
day from Wolcottville, Ind., on the way to
Montana, where he bae the promise of a po
sition. In walking about t'.e city he thought
] to inquire into the price of bicyclte and
j asked a stranger where he could find a sec
ond-hand store. The stranger, according to
Wemple, guided the young man to the s ore
at 189 Third street. While Wemple was t.lk
ing to the man in charge, a second Strang r
entered the place and offered to sell a watch
The proprietor said he did not purchase
watches, but as the man started to leave
nudged Wemple, so the young man says and
told him to buy the time piece for $15
promising, according to Wemple, to in turn
purchase it from him.
The youth gave up his $15 and received
the watch. When he asked the proprietor to
take the ticker off of his hands tlie request
| was refused. Wemple had neglected to get
a guarantee from the man who sold the
watch, the proprietor said, and therefore te
could not maks good 'Ms agreement.
After leaving the Et. - Wemple found L ; eu*.
Bahe, to whom he related his experience.
The officer took the young man to Assistant
County Attorney Zollman, who issued a war
rant for the arrest of Joseph Baer, the al
leged proprietor of tie store, and the "steer
er" who took Wemple to the place. Neither
man had been arrested up to a late hour
last evening.

County Board Makes Restrictions
About Road Forces.
Mayor Kiefer yesterday morning made an
attack on nepotism ln the county board by

prohibiting the employment of more than
one member of a family in county road work.

of the overseers, and even others higher ln
authority, have been running the road work
as a perpetual endowment for their families.
Not only does the resolution prohibit more
than one member of a family from being em
ployed, but It requires that the one mem
ber be a taxpayer in the town that employs
him and prohibits the overseer from hiring
more than one team belonging to himself.
The committee on roads and bridges will

POLISH SINGERS ARE HERE
THEIR CONCERT AT MOZART
HAH WAS DELIGHTFUL
Today Tneir Ninth Annual Conven
tion Will Open at Jaross's Hall
•—Tlie Singers Represent Various
Cities Where There Is a Large
Population of Polish Ancestry—
About Forty Are ln Attendance.
There were but very few people in
the auditorium of Mozart hall last
night when the concert of the United
Polish singers took place, and music
lovers lost an opportunity to hear some
remarkably good music of a character
that is not common, but which ia very
agreeable. The concert is given an
naully in the city ln which the con
vention of the singers is held. The
convention will be held In Jarosz's hnll
this afternoon at 2 o'clock, and there
are forty delegates here from the cities
Included In the union. They come from
Duluth, Milwaukee, Chicago, Grand
Rapids, Mich., Winona and St. Louis.
The union is maintained for the per
petuation of the national music of the
country of Sobieski and Kosciusko. The
members are enthusiastic nationalists
and there are included among their
number musicians of ability and em
inence. The meeting this afternoon Is
the ninth annual gathering of the kind.
The business to be done will be the
election of officers and the discussion
of affairs of interest to the Polish peo
ple.
Joseph Rosenthal Is the director of
the local organization and he was the
manager of the affair of last night.
The concert was directed by Prof. A.
Mallek, of Chicago, and the chorus
singing was remarkably good consider
ing the fact that little opportunity had
been given the singers to practice in
company, the members coming from
different cities. The muse was all
typically Polish and all by Polish com
posers with the single exception of
Meyerbeer's Evocazione. The choruses
evoked the greatest enthusiasm among
the audience, particularly the singing
of the Dworefc Poteki by a male ohorus.
Seibert's orchestra made the most of
its opportunity for difficult orches
tral work in the opening number, the
Polish National Alliance March, by
Kontski. There are some magnificent
passages in the work and they were
finely rendered. The distinctly and
characteristically Polish music of the
"Merry Fields" of Kurpinskl, gave tho
orchestra another opportunity which
was improved. The interpreting of the
work of the composer in this number
was quite the best thing on the pro
gramme.
In welcoming the delegates to the
city Mr. Rosenthal said that gather
ings of this kind should be encouraged:
that they did much toward attaining
the end which the United Singers de
sired. He promised the visitors that
they would find no lack of appreciation
among the Poles of St. Paul and hoped
that the convention here would result
in stimulating the local interest among
the Poles.
Grossmann's Dueh Wojewndy was
sung by a chorus of fifteen voices, and
this was followed by Miss Szularecka,
in a soprano solo of remarkable beauty.
The voice of the singer is naturally a
very beautiful one. Miss Gorska gave
a piano solo that was thoroughly good.
Polish music requires delicate treat
ment on the piano, and the lady gave
a fine exhibition of the possibilities cs?
interpretation. The recitation by Miss
Ressel elicited an encore and aroused
much enthusiasm. Miss Ruzkowska,
in her alto solo, was a revelation. She
is far and away the best alto that has
been heard here. Mr. F. J. Rosenthal's
bass solo was also a finely executed
number. From a musical point of view
the concert was an undoubted success.
At the conclusion of the programme
the hall was cleared and the partici
pants in the concert, with their friends,
had a dance of ten numbers.
PLAYED WITHOUT LIGHTS.
Danz's Orchestra Given a Concert
Under Dlflicnltics.
About a thousand people gathered at Como
Park last evening to listen to the Daaz con
cert.
The evening was most pleasant, and the
crowd proved very appreciative.
The arc lamps failed to burn, owing to a
short circuit on the lin*?. It was accordingly
I found necessary to change l.he programme
i after dark. The national airs which wore
substituted proved very pleaiing, and the
crowd was well satisfied.
The symphony orchestra will give a con
cert each evening this week. The programmes
are changed nightly, and are arraug.-d to
suit the popular as well as tihe musical tatle.
HE IS FOR ANNEXATION.
A. J. Colston, a College Professor of
Honolulu.
Prof. A. J. Colston, a member of the fac
ulty of the Ohan college at Honolulu, Sand
wich Islands, passed through the city yes-
I terday on his way to his old home in New
; York state, where he will spend his summer
| vacation. Among the prominent Institutions
of the islands, and foremost of those of
Honolulu, Is the Ohan college, founded by
an American missionary society many years
ago. In di.-cussing the probable annexation
of the Islands, Prof. Colston said:
"Annexation can only be looked upon as
the logical outcome of the question as now
being considered in congress. Since tlie
I United States accepted the islands as a coal
: ing station it is in honor bound to redeem
itself by taking the islands. The foreign
population is dominant, the Americans be
ing in the majority, followed in numbers by
the Germans and English. When several
regiments of the 'boys in blue' landed in
Honolulu under Gen. Anderson, June 5, the
natives ran out and cheered the soldiers.
Later a rumor was quite generally circulat
ed to the effect that the islands had been
annexed. The natives also cheered when thl3
news was received.
'"The troops under Gen. Anderson's com
mand were royally received in Honolulu. The
I legislative halls were thrown open so the
American goldlers could write home, and the
| women of the place bedecked the boys with
I garlands of flowers, and during their stay
j the citizens gave them many dinners, and
i the troops, which were California and Ore
i gon regiments, could not other than take
j away pleasant recollections of their visit
to the principal city of the islands. The troops
| were on their way to Manila and left short
ly after I started for the States, on June 23.
I "When President McKinley made his first
call for volunteers, a company was organ
ized ln our city, and volunteered their serv
i Ices to the president, who wrote back that
he would not be at liberty to accept any cltl-
I zens of foreign soil as soldiers in the army
i of the United States, yet he commended tha
spirit of the men who formed the company.
Many have gone from the islands to this
country to oslist in the army at San Fran
cisco.
"When It comes to an expression of the
sentiments of the residents of Honolulu upon
the Spanish-American difficulty, the popula
tion Beems to be thoroughly American.
"Coming across the Pacific we met the
steamship China, one of the transport ships
which took part of Gen. Merritt's expedition
to the Philippines, and the ladies on our
boat waved their handkerchiefs and cheered
and several salutes were fired, which were
answered by the dipping of the colors by the
American transport ship.
"The annexation of the Islands will un
doubtedly result ln quite an Immigration to
the island, as the last couple of years has
seen a large Increase ln the number of peo
ple from this country engaging ln business
on the Islands. Government land can be
had under the homestead plan, upon which
Americans with a couple thousand dollars'
capital can cultivate a coffee plantation.
