City Council Beginning to ReaJixe the Importance of Preserving u niform Ity in Laying Out New Street Improvements. The city council met last night, but accomplished nothing of importance. In discussing the ordinance for the im provement of Seventeenth street, how. ever, there wens severs! Interesting queatlona raised. The councllmen present expressed thensvlves as favoring he improve ment but there was some qus-stlon as to ita legality If the grade of the pro posed improvement corresponds to the grade of cross streets. The ordinance provides that the street shaJl be Improved at the estab lished grade. It was suited at the council meeting that the Grand avenue crossing Is one foot and a quarter be-i Klmberly. Utmost enthusiasm pre vails, and many are anxious to place their seirlces at the disposal of the gov eminent SAILOR'S TERRIBLK FATE. Caught In a Whale Line and Carried Down With the Monster.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8.-The offi cers of the whaler IVlagu tell of the terrible fate of Oscar Huschenbett, s sailor in the Arctic. On August. Il'lStt. the bots were lowered for an enevnious whale. Just aft.T s harpoon had ben fixed In the whale's aides and he had started off at tremendous speed, Huschenbett stepped carelessly Into the rope's bight. A loop caught his leg and be was drawn Into the wvter. In passing out of the boat, the body of the man hurled Itself against Third Mate Mlklto ard cue of the crew, knocking the sea man overboard.

The city at- torney stated that there was nothing or'i boly rcov?red. record, apparently, to show that beforu he could be lanced and the sail- on the Grand avenue crossing was below the established grade.

NEW TORE, Oct. 5.-The Mallory steamer Leon a was burned and sunk meeting of the council to act upon thej M D,r Vj,arf In the East river tonight matter. Upon motion, the ordinance was re ferred back to the committee, with In struction to the city surveyor to make written report as to the condition of the grades. When the council ad journed It adjourned o meet tomorrow niht, and the ordinance was made special order.

LONDON. Oat. 5. Although today's i news from South Africa is grave, thej adherents of peace still derive hope from the dispa'.ches that the stage of; negotiations Is not yet past. The newsj announcement that the Boers have oc cupied Icing's Nek is printed a dis patch from Pretoria stating that the; Transvaal government Isstifd strict in-! Junctions to the commandants that British territory must not be invad-d, and that General Joubert has Issued a proclamation threatening to shoot uny man who crosses the border. There is no evidence going to show that the Btirph-rs corr'emplate retreating. Up to 2 o'clock this afternoon noth ing lad arrived to confirm the dispatch from Newcastle to the Dally Telegraph anncunrlng that the advanoe of the Eier forces began yesterday. The al leged Boer advanoe coincides curiously with simultaneous telegrams from va rious quarters regarding a Boer ulti matum, and the expiration of the limit in the evening. A distinctly serious and UKly statement comes from New castle to the pfTect that armed Kaffirs accoir-.pany the Boer command'-rs. This would be an absolute breach ofi the conditions supposed to govern war fare among civilized nations, and If true, presages scenes worse than even the gloomiest forecast. From other Newcastle advlc-s, It ap pears that the premier of Natal his telegraphed to 'the military authorities that they can render Newcastle no as sistance, aiMIng that If the Boers In tend to attack tha town, resistance woud he futile. The Intelligence from Cape Town Includes an official denial of the rumor that the British have crossed the Transvaal frontier near The total clearings for nine monthr this year, aggregate a sum greater than the entire 1SJS total, thought there are three months yet to elapse before the year Is complete. The annual report of Manager Sherrer, of the New York clearing house, shows that the aggre gate bank clearings In the year ending with September were the heaviest ever known. WON BY LORD VINCENT.
