Tbe Salem city mwbciI tonight wlW hare toconiderthefiB'llH of Kiit lojranew charter to the awfy that now o a U1U1 i he street car urstems'of Katow. Thl Is a trr Im- nortanL matter to Hie iwoftfe f le capital city. It lJ important that Salem hare a jrxwJ street car rtei. It I. not at all Hkly that a city f this fa woM t entirely wiliwwt ear line. It te mire lfkdr H"t a city of Its slai will hive a ytci far In Mlraie tti lis nsed. The HfttlOH of granting 'n c'jlfte a very Important , and generally rwakioi: charters irepran tel pritty nneli wUtt reznrl to tnunieJiul right lwlnz conlderJ or protected by the city atUhorllta?. Either thee public services mtt be performed by the cliy. or cl clwr ters must lc granted to private cor porations. The tendency of the I lutoii strongly In the direction of municipal ownership. The city of Iienrc, Germany furnisher gsf, water and electric light to the people f'ir one-half what itcotsat Portland . 1 lat year cleared enough proflt.o thHi no city tax is to be levied this ji-.r. The city of Glasgow operates fA i m-t wr line and out of the pro vl piy all eity expanses. But i he iMoptcof wti?rti cities are n'.t jet advanced to the point of doing those things. They will be someday. It Isaoiumed that the city council will grant a charter to the corpora tion that now aks the privilege of conducting all the street car lines in the Capital city. This charter has not been made public, although it lias passed a second reading and been re ferred. It is not likely that all the aldermen know nil its contents, or the points wherein it (litters irom the two charters that It Is to take the place of. 1'cw of the aldermen claim to have the technical knowledge and 1c gui itariiiiiK to umicnsiana the Im portance of all the points in a volumi nous charter. We repeat Hint this is an Important mutter, and the grant Ing of a -charter upon which large sums of nicncy arc to be borrowed and expended, sliould be closely scruti nized from the public standpoint. It Is virtually granting an exclusive franchise in the nature of a monopoly. The city will probably bo benefited In having the street car system oper ated by one company. Hut even that docs not justify giving away the use of the public streets without due re gard to the general public rights In the streets and the interests of the vurlous parts of tho city. Yt Is often complained of as an evil a Iter charters are granted that no ono knew of their Import at the time of granting. It would seem as though this city had outgrown Its swaddling clolhos and had its cyoteoth cut so as to escape the result of Indllforencc on this matter. Tub JouiiNAt has no Interest to proiuotu in this mnttur. It daMros to ho fair to thcownors nfthoold fran chise and also just to the public.

Senator Wilson of Washington and Senator Shoup of Idaho represented the western opposition to the reser vations. Senator Wilson, on the other hand, protested vehemently against the wholesale reservations "committed" in Washington. Tht outcome of the conference was a decision to forward to congress, in a day or two, a proposed amendment to the sundry civil bill, to be framed on the line or the McRea bill, which has been berore both houses of congress In various forms and 1 now pending In the senate. This amendment will au thorize the secretary to prescribe such rules and regulations for the govern ment of forest reserves as will permit the disposal of the timber in the res ervations for legitimate mining pur poses, and will preserve also the rights of agricultural and mining settlers on reservations. The amendment gives authority ror the suspension or the operation of presidential proclama tions, reserving forests reservations, and the survey of reserved tracts by the geological survey, and appropri ating 8150,000 therefor. ALLEN RESOLUTION. The senate Indulged in some banter ing of Chandler of New Hampshire, who Introduced a bill "abolishing competition in trade and production and authorizing combinations to en able merchants, manufacturers and producers or commodities subject to interstate commerce to maintain prices anb profits uotwlthatandlng the business depression." Allen said nothing like this bill had been seen in the palmiest days or the Populists. Chandler announced his serious intention to press the bill as an amendment to the railroad pooling bill, In case that measurewas brought rorward. The Cuban question was then de bated, the Allen resolutlon.protestlng against the trial or Gen. Rivera by a drumhead court martial, forming the basis of the debate. Allen made an emphatic speech, calling on the United States, as a Christian nation, to stop the Spanish savagery and out rages. Hoar, or Massachusetts, opposed the resolution, and favored a calm and de liberate course. Senator Gallinger, of New Hamp shire, made a very vehement speech in favor of Cuba. Ho said he and every other senator, he believed, were getting letters denouncing them for their position on Cuba. They came, ho added, from the money-changers ot or the East. . A motion to refer tho Rivera Cuban resolution to tno dommlttee on fore ign relations was defeated. The res olution was adopted, 44 to 0. ANTi-scALPma.

The Herald's correspondent In Rio Janeiro telegraphs that the govern ment has .dispatched relnforceui ts to Uruguayan trontler to Intercept the revolutionists. A Herald dispatch trom Pacaiua says: General Plutarco Bown, who was with Alfaro in the revolution in 1895 In Ecuador, and who was con demned to death by court-martial for treason, his senlance being sub sequently commuted to exile, on his arrival here on Friday from Vene zuela, was immediately placed under police surveillance. He was notified to leave the country at once, and the government gave him a second-class passage to Corinto. The general said that he would re embark after his arrival at Corinto by direct steamer Payta to Callao, and endeavor to raise a rorce and work his i UD(3er water. The .great sreamboat prediction made in tlwtazreatr diaHr to ippi delta would follow the break it,g of the levee at a point on the east ide of tbe river north ot Helena, has been realized. The break at Flower Lake, which occurred yesterday morn ing b5 rapidly grown from a dozen feet in length to a thousand. This was tbe condition of tbe crevasse this afternoon at 4 o'clock, when an As sociated Press reporter left that levee north of the break. An arrangement is being made to He each end or tbe levee, but owing to tbe difficulty, in getting material rrom the railroad, ronr miles away, the success of the effort Is doubtful. Thiscreva;5elsat tbe send of the delta and will cause an overflow or the nnrtiipm tier of the counties in MI slsslppl with the 'exception cf a part of Tunica. The situation that now confronts the planters is a duration of the flood, ir the water is out or the delta by May 5th, a crop of cotton can be grown, but cotton planted as late as May 10, has little chance of maturing before frost. There is still another danger. The crevasses must all be closed before the June rise or there will be a second overflow. The delta fnnnrrv rirodus annually no less than 5,000,000 bales of cotton.
