diiit-d. The council decided to delay ac

give tho members an opprt unity to ex

when tho appropriations will bo made.

read first and second time, and goes

ommended by the committee, which Is

HEIKMANX OUT FOR GOOD.
At the last meeting of the council ex
Clty Burveyor Helkmann presented a
communication setting forth that ho was
Illegally removed from office by failure
of the council In proceeding against him
to comply with tho law. The city at.
torjiey wa Instructed to make a report
upon the matter, and he did so last
night. The report seta forth that the
council proceeded in a legal manner
against Mr. Hcikmann, and that the re
moved official would have to go to the
courts with hi claim, unless tho coun
ell saw fit to reinstate him. Mr. Allen
was of the opinion that Helkmann's
claim of llloiiallty of procedure was' a
poor one and would not hold In a court
of law. The report was unanlmous'y
adopted. '

At thi special meeting of the coundl a

what he conaldrred two nded changes
In tho charter. On, referring to the
Improvement of streets, wna sent to the
tr;it commit toe, and th other, pro
viding for the exemption of manufac
torl from taxes, went to the way and
means commute. The latter committee
r i ported favorably on the suggestion hut

adopted. The city attorney was Instructed
to prepare the oeressary amendment and
forward It to the Clatsop county deb-gi-tlon
at Hilem. This amendment will ex.
empt from city taxation for a period of
five years all now manufactories or other

JUDOB OR AY CENSURED.
The following self-explanatory rro".u.
tlon was Introduced by Councilman
Welch and unanimously adopted:
"Vhert. There ha been forwarded
by Hon. J. II. V.; iray. county Judge, to
n prentatalvea of this county at Salem
a petition to the effect that one-half of
the property road tax within the city
limit of AstortA and one-half the rond
t.ll tax b o!lctid should be given to
the lounty. to be expended on county
road outside the city; and
"Where, At the sugg'-atlon of the
Astoria Progressive Commercial Asso
ciation and numerous ta-xpayers. the
council has already aiwented to and
caused to be drafted an amendment to
the charter giving all the road po!l tax
collected within th city to the county,
deeming that the best powlble course;
and.
"Wherea. Said Gray is miking an ef.
fort to dictate charter amendments, for.

NO CHANGE IN THE LJM1TS.
The effort to secure a change in the
city limits was killed by th council
last night for two years, at least. The
matter came up In a resolution by Coun.
cllman larker recommending that the
limit be reduced about one-half. Mr.
Welch moved that action on this resolu
tion be Indefinitely postponed and the
motion carried, but two member Ut

ha announced ft Intention, to not In
troduce any measure for charter amend,

changes. The advocates of reduced 11m.

an Issue In the next election and electing

the emperor, advising him to see It. On
entering the studio the kaiser laughingly
reminded tho sculptor that, he himself
sut as a model for him when the dw.
tiger Empress Frederick took her two
eldest children to the studio of Magnus
sen's father, who was also an artlit.
After a long time In silence the emperor
said:
"That must go Into the death cham

A moment later
ha remarked:
"The mastery over the soul of the
falling body Is very striking. He looks
ns though ha wanted to lift .himself, up
again and speak." After studying the
bust of tho late Prince Bismarck, mod
eled Just before his death, he pronounced
the likeness remarkable, saying: "Hun
dreds will stand before it and say Bis
marck never looked llke that; and yet
well, 'tis only for connolseurs."
In the course of the conversation he told
the sculptor that he might well b proud
of Herr Mensel's opinion, adding: "I
trust entirely to his Judgment." He
also promised Magnussen an order for
a statue in the Sleges-Allee. or avenue
of victory, one of the most fashionable
promenades In Berlin, saying: "I shall
choose a very hard theme, as I see you
can easily overcome dimculMos."

many others, accepted the platform In

notwithstanding it, and at this time It
seems proper for me to enter, as I now
do, my protest, ad a democrat, against a

protest against the rest of the platform

for president at that time, I have the
very highest respect, knowing he Is a
