Monroe Street
to be Graded
Monro street, north of Jackson, Is
to be graded at once, the city coun
cil last evening having " accepted a
proposition from property owners to
secure this Improvement. The city
will establish the grades and the
property owners will pay for the
grading. The proposition was sub
mitted In a petition signed by J. E.
Mulllnlx and George A. Martman.
An ordinance was passed last ev
ening providing that all sidewalks
built on the west side of Cottonwood
street between Webb and Railroad
shall be at least ten feet wide.
Upon motion by Councilman Mont
gomery, a warrant for 1300 was or
dered drawn in favor of the Civic
Club to assist in the maintenance of
the parks during the summer. The
appropriation was made several
months ago.
The revised plat of L-vington
Heights, showing the" streets as they
are now laid out, was adopted at the
meeting. An application from C. P.
Strain for the establishment of grades
on South Llllcth street was acted up
on favorably.
U. S. AGREES TO TAKE
PAYMENT FOR THE FRYE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. The Am
erican reply to the last German note
regarding the sinking of the Ameri
can ship William P. Frye was cabled
to Berlin and probably will lie given
out for publication Saturday.
While the original position of the
state department that the Prussian
American treaty of 1828 was violated
by the destruction of the vessel Is re
affirmed, it is understood that the
United States now agrees to accept
payment for the Frye under the con
dition suggested in the last German
note, obviating an appeal to arbitra
tion at The Hague.

Germany stipulates that payment

commissions, one appointed by each
government.
The German position, as outlined In
the Inst note. Is that payment of In
