An important measure regulating the construction of buildings and provid ing for entrances, exits and fire escapes at all public buildings was offered by Mr. Leinenwebber At present the city ordinances do not cover building matters and the new bill, which will unquestionably become law", will be of grea benefit. Section I provides that all public halls within the city shall have at least one entrance and exit eight feet wide on the first floor and on the second floor,, while on third floors there shall be at least two such entrances leading directly to the ground floor, and a sub stantial Iron fire escape from the third floor to within 10 feet of the ground.

The council will have printed 200 cop. les of the new charter, and It is spec itled that bids for Job printing and for printing the charter may be separately tendered. NoBite For Fir Chief. At the Inst session of the council an ordinance was presented providing for an Increase in the salary of Chief Stockton, of the fire department, from $70.6 Jo $$5. Yesterday tha measure came up for final passage, and Mr. Hums killed it. He said he believed the Increase too great, ewiwclully as the Are chtf had no more work to do than the other employes of the department. He was In favor of an Increase of half the sum. When the roll win called on flnnl passage the following voted r.galnst It; Messr. nurn.i, fcelUnd, Le beck and Nordstrom. Four members voted for it. For the second time In two yeiirs Mayor Suprenant had the deriding vote to cast, and he unhesi tatingly declared the nieasure lost. The defeat of this bill was a surprise, as Mr. lliirim had not offered any objection to it at the previous meeting. It Is probalile that other purposed salary In- cre.tslrg ordinances will now be side tracked. Improvement to B Mad. The lonx-drawn out proposal for the Improvement of Franklin avenue from Thirty sixth Mreot t a point 10 feet east of the west line of Forty-third street was finally settled yesterday. The otdlnunce, amended so as to pro vide for one-half-to-one slope through the big cut, came up for third reading and final passage. Mr. Lebeck, the new member, expressed the opinion that the city could not afford to hear any portion of the tost of this or other im provemcnt. He said Exchange street was In need of repair from Seventeenth east and was of the opinion s.ich Im provements should first be attended to by the council. Mr. Nordstrom replied to the gentleman from the Third ward with one af his convincing speeches, in whth he said, among other things, that the cost of the work would be almost entirely borne by the property own ers. County Assessor Cornelius, who was present, said that, If the Improve ment were commenced, it would be Im- possble for him to Increase property valuations, but that no Increase would be Impossible unless the street were put through. He makes his next assessment in March. The vote in fa vor of the ordinance was unanimous. The bill provides that the work shall be completed by December 1, Veto is Overridden, Mayor Suprenant' veto of the or linanre for purchase of, the K. A. Taylor property was overriden by the .-ouicll, only two members, Messrs. Rel'aml and Nordstrom, voting to sus tain It. Before the vote wa taken Mr. Nordstrom explained that he had voted for the ordinance at the previous meeting not because he was In favor of it, but rather because he alone op posed It and opposition would have ac complished nothing. He said there was no present need for the property n ml pointed out the past errors of the .ouncil in throwing away the people' p.oney in reckless investment. ; So far as he was concerned, he would take the $C00P and apply it to the, bonded debt, that the Interest account might be le- MCn.Hl, ' The passage of th ordinance pntc tli Hlly conclude purcha of th prop erty.

PRESIDENT TELLS OF PANAMA (Continued from page 4) United Slate rest upon some novel theory. No assumption could b fur ther from th fact. It I by no mean true that a state In declaring It Inde pendence rids Itsel fof all treaty obli gations entered Into by the parent gov ernment. "It Is on all hands conceded that treaties relating to boundaries and right of navigation continue In force without regard to change In govern ment or sovereignty. This principle obviously applies to that arl of the treaty of 1840 which relate to the Isth mus of Panama. "In conclusion let me repeat that the question actually before this govern ment Is not that of the recognition of Panama us an Independent republic. That Is already an accomplished fact. The question, and the only question. Is whether we shall or not build an. isthmian canal." President Roosevelt transmit with his messuge copies of the latest notes from the minister of the republic of Panama to this government and of rertuln note which have passed be tween the special envoy of the republic of Colombia and this government.
