After ths paasugs of the hat ordinance
a dliuniMlon ensued aa to whether or
not tha council should send for Surveyor
Ilelkmann. Couruilmun Robb wanted to
proceed to bualne.s. City Attorney Allen
stated that there waa no power under
tha charter by which the council could
enforce ths attendance of Mr. Helkmunn,
and, upon motion of Mr. Fulton, the
council proceeded to business. The
charges, already published In the Astorl
an, were red, setting forth tha the
surveyor had overcharged the city 13. 0U
for work done during September.
Richard Hurry was the first withers
called. He produced hla ttmeroll, fr m
which It apiH-ared that he had worked
tt the cKy surveyor 44 days during mc
month of September, receiving then-for
til Of that time, he stated, two days
were rightfully charveable to the city,
but the remaining J'j days were put In
for Individuals. Mo worked ouly to Sep
tember 1
J. Orion wn then called. He testified
that ho had worked only three-quvrterj
of a day for tile city duiing in. month
of Septomber nd foud days for private
parties, for which ho was paid by tlio
surveyor $11.40. He nald the payroll pre
sonted to tha city by tha surveyor for
September gave his time at 4 days.
Asked If he had had any conversai.on
with Holknuuin as to overcharging the
otty, Orton replied:
"Yes. Ilulkmann said to ma !n Ms
office ono day: Tho city la ftghttng me
pretty hard, and I'm going to got even.' "
Orton explained that port of the work
waa done In running lines for electric
IW'ht polos, and Councilman Qoddard,
the Third ward Investigator, who always
baa his eye out. as it were, for little
Irregularities, wanted to know why the
city paid for running lines for the Having
of electric lUjht poles. Somo of tha
other councilman said Uiey also wanted
a littlo Information on the subject, and
the conversation led many of those pres.
ant to bolievo that the rlty Is being lm
ptd upn. In this co.in-x.tlon It may
not ba amiss to state that the work must
be dona by the city purveyor, or else the
polos might not be placed aoeordlng to
the provisions of the charter, 'i'ha city
U not being Imposed upon.
A. D. Ross waa the next witness. He
said he had worked 8 days for Heik
mann In September, although he hud been
puld for 44 days' work. He explained
this by saying that be erroneously told
Ilelkmann he had worked 4 day. And
when ths error was discovered, Hiainann
aid he would allow him the days. Ho
rooelved .11.40 for this work. AskoU if
he ever had any conversmtion with Hlk.
mar.n n to the iatter overcharging tbe
city, Ross said:
"I naked Hnlkmann In his ofhee one day
If ha stuffed tho city payroll, He replied
that ha had never stuffed the payroll, and
added:
"'The city bus put me t conslJeraoie
expense and someone must mak? it up.
I don't give a damn who It Is.' "
Auditor Nelson was then called and
testified as to the filing of the payroll for
September, which amounted to $108.
Alderman Hlldehrand, who was a mem
bar ot the Investigating committee up.

tha charges against Hoikmann, testified
aa to the evidence presented at the In.

of the aocused. He commented noon ths
fact that Harry and Orton bad knowlnstlr

" waa or me opinion that the testimony
of such men was not worthy of consider.

Ilelkmann waa not present, as the trial
would be much more satisfactory If soma

Councilman Fulton was of the opinion
that there waa no doubt as to the srullt
of the accused. He paid a glowlna- trlh.
ute to the high standlne; of Messrs, Orton
and Harry In the community, and said
that, as they were bosom friends of the
accused. It waa most Improbable thai
their testimony would be prejudiced
agaliuit him. He thought Uelkmann
should be Impeached.
It waa then moved that HHkmann be
declared guilty of the charges against
him and the motion prevailed, the vote
being ki Tullowa:

supplies to the amount of one hundred

necessitous poor. At the Moioro insane
asylum, a horrible state of affairs wss
discovered. One hundred and twenty in-

Six months ago there were over eight
hundred In this asylum, but death and
starvation have reduced their numbers
to about one-seventh of that figure.

EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS
IN SEARCH OF LOANS.
Japan. Anticipating an Early Struggle
With Russia, Looks to the United
States for a Loan.
CHICAGO. Dec. 19.-A special from
Washington says:
"There are seers who predict that
Uncle Sam will become the banker for the
world.
Two old world governments, Russia
and Japan, have turned their faces to
the United State In search of loans.
Russia, at least, had agents sound some
American financiers. This Is the first
time foreign nations have sought to float
groat national loans In America, and the
wise men think It Is the beginning cf the
new era.
"It may be said on authority that Ja
pan needs tha money ostensibly to meet
den alt In her revenues produced by
heavy expenditures for land and sea
armament, and also to assist her In tho
establishment of a national lndua'riql
bank. That la Japan's official explanation
of her needs.
"In diplomatic) circles It Is shrewdly
suspected that Japan 1b preparing her-
self for an ultimate struggle wlCh Russia
and has been hurried by the activity of
Russia In borrowing (55,500,000 to replace
hor artillery with rapid fire guns.
It was learned at one of the loga-
tlona today that this loan, recently made
In France, Is only one fourth of what
Russia actually needs, and that Russia
has come to thl oountry for assistance
because she failed an she wished In
France. It la presumed that Japan and
Russia between them will want about
$400,000,000.

Welcome at Augusta.
MACON. Ga., Dec li. -President Mc-
Kiniey and bis party were received bore
by the largest crowd which has gathered
In Macon since tha last visit of Jefferson
Davis to this dty.
Drawn tip In front of Lhs station waa
tho Bibb oountr camp of the Confederate
Survivors' Association. 409 strong, beaded
by Commander O. if. Wiley.
As the president reached the old Confed
erates he was hailed by Colonel Wiley.
who, In welcoming the visitors, said:
'We extend to you and your party a
moat generous, hearty, and sincere wel
come to our beloved city. Tou, sir. have
endeared yourself to the hearts of all
Confederate soldiers on account of the
noble sentiments expressed by you In
regard to our Confederate dead. I hope
and pray, Mr. President, ihat Ood In bis
Infinite mercy may so direct the future
legislation of this country that the liv.
log Confederates will be remembered.
"This country and the stars and stripes
belong as much to the Confederate vet
runs as they do to the Grand Army of
the Republic. The south proved its loyatty
to this grand old country when war was
declared with Spain, and now, henceforth
and forever she will be found ready to
take up arms to defend our country and
our flag."
As the president was about to proceed.
Dr. Roland B. Hall, another veteran, ad-
oressed him as follows:
"Mr. President, in 4ehalf of our noble
dead, and as Confederate veterans, we
are bare to manifest our appreciation of
the noble and generous sentiment you
have recently uttered. Do us honor, air,
to accept and wear this badge of the Con
federate Veterana' Association, wtiKu
bears your likeness and words which
should endear you to the heart of every
Confederate."
"I do not know it bat It would be proper,"
said the president. "But you must," said
Dr. Hall, and. without further ceremony
the President marched ahead with. Judge
Bpeer. The sight of the Confederate
badge on the president's coat as be passed
through the lines of the veterana called
forth vociferous cheering. The president
wore the badge during his stay In Mncon.
As his can-tare passed the Confederate
monument an old Confederate vcreY,,
frantically waved a Confederate flag,
while .by his side was the son of the
colonel of one of Georgia's hardest Ashl
ing Confederate regiments, who was as
vigorously waving the stars and stripes.
When the president was abreast of him
tha two flags were brought to salute, side
byside. The Incident seemed to appeal the
president.
PRESIDENT AT AUGUSTA.
AUGUSTA. Ga., Dec. 19.-Tbe demon
stration in Augusta this evening In honor
of President McKlnley was a fitting cli
max to one of the most remarkable presi
dontal tours ever undertaken. A unique
feature of the demonstration was a com
pany of uniformed verterans of the Con
federacy, with their bartle-scaiTed flags
waving with the stars and stripes. They
were under command of iMalor Withers,
aged and bent, and clothed In the historic
gray of the lost cause. The spectacle was
a most touching one.
EUROPEAN POWER APPLIES
FOR A Hi.WV LO.N.
The Report That Russia Is Trvlng to
Secure a Loan From United Stales
Discussed by Bank Officials.
CHICAGO. Dec, 19.-A number of Chi-
cago financiers and bankers have been
Interviewed In relation to the reported
application of one of the Europxin pow
ers for a beavy loan In the United States.
Isaao G. Lombard, vice president of the
American National Bank, said:
"I hardly think that this country will
make a loan to Russia, at least not a
large one. There Is surplus money here,
but not enough to warrant a large for.
eign loan. America has made many for
eign loans, but not to governments.
Rates here are about as low as anywhere
at present."
Ernest A. Haralll. president of the Corn
Exchange National Bank, said:
"There is no question that this coun
try la becoming so rich that its surplus
money will seek investment abroad. The
balances In its favor are becoming larger,
and It 1s accumulating wealth at a rate
that is unprecedented. Money, conse
quently, Is easier here than elsewhere.
For this reason, though the proposition of
making a loan to a foreign government is
unprecedented, It seems natural and al
together probable.. In case such a loon
Is made, Chicago Is In a position to pro
vide a considerable sum of It."
"There is no doubt that If Russia wants
a loan, this would be the natural place
to seek It," aid J. B. Forgan, vice pres
ident of the First National Bank. "Trie
American money market at present Is
the easiest In the world. The New York
banks last week added 110,000,000 to their
awumuUtwl surplus snd the CUIcigo
banks 15,01)0,000. Some of ths Mexican
states are now taking stipe to borrow In
this country. I have no knowlmlxa be
yond the new.rapor reports that Rum!
Is about to n-cure a loan anywhere, and
comment upon th truth of that report
would be mere conjecture,"
John C, Black, president of the Con
tinental National Bank, said:
"It Is as sure to come aa tomorrow, that
American will beooma a grt money
lending nation like England, and tha
other greater nations of the old world.
The Untied States Is accumulating wealth
twice as fast as any other country. It
would occasion no surprise should it be
reported that Russia was te.klng a loan
in England or France, and should not in
the case of this report thai Russia may
seek a loan in America."
Charles L. Hut uh! neon, vies president
of the Corn Exchange National Bank,
aid:
"The report that Russia 1 seeking a
loan In this oountry may ba true, but It
eema to me Improbable. At least such
a move is tmprecsdentad. Tha mar
tarring of such a report indicates a
obange In the financial status of this
country among the nations of the world."
Elbrtdge O. Xeliher, president of the
Metropolitan National Bank, aid:
"The idea of the United States making
any loan to Russia does not Mem proba
ble, chiefly because American financiers
arc not wall enough acquainted with con
ditions In Russia to warrant them n
meeting such a proposition without a
great deal of caution. The financial re
lation have not been close between Che
two countries, and the matter would ap.
pear In a different light If England or
Germany or France or Belgium, or any
of the countries with which we have a
large trad should seek to make the loan,
TtMa, too, specie payment in Russia Is
a new thing, and there would be question
ai to the stability of conditions there.
But America has now a large surplus
to Its credit, due to temporary condi
tions, largely in Its favor, such as In.
creased exports and large fcreign crlit
balances. But this country has lots of
use for Its own money la developing In
own resource and lr.datr1-s, and though
tlvre Is much American money abroad.
It does not seem probable that American
onp'.Rj would seek Investment In any
large sums In Russia."
Chauncey J. Hlolr, president of ths
Merchants National Bank, said:
I know nothing about conditions In
RuKsia, or the probability of that country
trying to negotiate a government loau
In America, but the conditions of the
money market there are such as to make
rhe story seim credible."
John J. Mltcnell. president of Lie Illi
nois Trust and Savings Bank, who has
Jum returned from New York, said:
It Is true that Russ:a and Japan are
In communication with financier, in this
country with a view to floating loans.
Two weeks ago 1 was communicated with
concerning the project by a person of
high authority, and I am to hear of thl.
man further. A prominent Boston house
and prominent New Tork house have
been considering the matter for two
weeks.
The Russian loan Is for the Russian
railway, guaranteed by the Russian gov-
emmene. and Is asked at V per cent
It Is not especially furprtalng that they
come to this country, for the United
States Is ths cheapest money market In
the world at present. Russian credit
stands high and that government will
probably get whatever loan it requires
In America. For a European nation to
negotiate a loan In the United States is a
reversal of the usual order of things, and
a new and pleasing condition of affairs."
CUBANS CELEBRATE THE
EVACUATION OF MARIANA.
Flags and Banners Thrown to th
Breexe and Many Compliments
Paid to the Americans.
NEW TORK. Dec 19.-A dispatch to
the World from Ifavana says:
The Cubans on Sunday celebrated the
evacuation of Mariana on invitation of
the alcalde, Senor Gomes de Ijl Mania.
Every street was decorated with Cuban
and American flags intertwined and at
several points were erected Utumpbal
archee, bearing suitable Inscriptions.
Menocal's troops, 400 cavelrymen, pa
raded the town In the morning. In pro
cession were Generals Monocal, Lacret,
Julio Sangutlly, MayWi Rrodrigues.
Breakfast was given at noon. In hotel
El Oriente. General Lee was Invited to
It, but being unable to be present, be was
rcprtseiued by Colonel Armtleld, com
mander of the First brigade. Second de.
vission, and Captain R. E. Paxton, bri
gade adjutant.
The Cubans were most enthusiastic.
Among the speeches was one by J. San
guilly, who declared that the Cubans
look upon Americans as brothers, but
whatever might be the consequence the
Cubans must Insist upon absolute Inde
pendence. The Spanish authorities have taken
strict measures to prevent and disturb
ance. Strong guards are stationed In
every quarter, while special precautions
have been taken around the Parado and
hotel Inglaterra.
The engineer corps at Mariana probably
will go next week to Matansas to pre
pare the way for the American troops.
