IlEl'ORTHD FAVORABLY. The ordinance was reported favorably by Mr. Sanderson, tho chairman of tho committee, who (lrst received from Mr. Finn an assurance that no attempt would bo made to pass the ordinance on wore than one reading last night. When the measure was called up on first reading by Mr, Finn, tho privilege of the iloor was granted Attorney Gforgo S. Horn. Ho announced that the paid-in capital of the company bad recently been Increased to $100,000; that WO subscribers had been secured, 300 more than was provided In tho or dinance, nnd that the rate for service would be much lower than charged by other companies. The rate would ho $24 per year for house telephones nnd $33 or less for business telephones. The rate would lw uniform and not affected by tho number of calls.

At the opening of the session nnd when President Chittenden was pre paring to open the sealed proposals to clean tho city's paved streets by con tract, Mr. Roche aroused the Interest of the members by the request that tho proposals be left unopened. He re marked that the proposals had been made upon specifications that were In complete and misleading. Ho then re ceived permission to rend the follow ing typewritten statement which, he said, had been handed him previous to the meeting: READ A STATEMENT. The specifications are faulty inasmuch as Bank street, from Spruce to Linden, one-half of which Is paved with asphalt, and Railroad alley, from Adams avenue t- Cliff street, aio entirely omitted fiom the M-hcdule of streets to be cleaned, ns is also Lackawanna avenue, from Aduirn avenue to Jcfl'crs-on. both of which are paved with cobble. Schedule "U." which Is to be cleaned three times per week, on Tuesday, Thurs day and Saturdays, 10214 blocks, Included the South Side, central city, Green Rltlgo and Hyde Park. If this .schedule Is com piled with the contractor mus.t employ a very large force of men and teams which he could only work half lime, as there Is not enough work In schedules U nnd D tn keep them employed fur tho balance of tho week. This would entail an expense upon tho contractor which In justice he should not be called upon to bear and would give tho men only one-half time, A. motion by Mr. Roche then prevail ed that tho bids nnd specifications be referred to tho streets and bridges committees nnd tho street commis sioner for adjustment, tho bids to bo opened by the latter.

Washington, May 3. The senate committee on finance ns a body was not In session today, having adjourned until tomorrow In order to permit th Democratic members to prepare a sub stitute for the bond provision of thp war revenue bill. There is now no doubt that there will be n majority In the committee against tho bond fenture, as Senator Jones, of Novmla, has taken a position against it, and Senator Wolcott has Indicated that he will oppose it if an acceptable substi tute can bo secured. The Republican members of tho com mittee, with the exception of Senator Wolcott, were in confernco over the situation for several hours. There Is littlo doubt, frupi Senator Woleotfsi uvprfsslons In the committee yester day, nnd the fact that he did not sit with the Republican members todav, that lu will vote to eliminate tho bond provision, but It Is understood that ho Is not oulte so clear as to the support of a substitute. Tho Republican mem bers are quite disturbed over the tlti coveiy of his position, and are consid ering how to best repnlr tho breach occasioned by his probable defection. They were not so greatly surprised a Mr. Jones' position, nlthough they hal hoped to be able to secure his support of the measure practically as It passed the house. TRYING TO CONVERT ENGLAND. E.J. Philips' Vlows on the War Dli trlbuted as Dodgers In London. London, May 5. A remarkable and mysterious nttempt to inlluence public opinion In London, through circulars distributed In the streets during the busiest hours, began yesterday even ing. Whllo the theaters were empty ing, many men wero employed In hand ing dodgers of yellow paper, with largo headlines reading: "Why the I'nited States is Making War Upon Spain." Under this heading were extracts from the remarks recently made by Edward J. Phelps, formerly United States min ister to England, who, from a legal standpoint expressed his opinion that the United States was not Justified in going to war with Snaln. Theso ex tracts were accompanied by quotations from nlleged pro-Spanish newspapers printed in America and pro-Spanish papers published In Great Britain. Up to tho present It has been Impos sible to ascertain who Is financing thl3 street propaganda. FIRED ON CANARIES TROOPS ? Report That nn American Warship Attacked Without Ellect. Madrid, May 5.

THE LAST MAN WAS GOT OFT SAFE LY IN AN HOUR AFTER THE FIRE ORiaiNATED-TlIE SHAFT HAS AN VNt'tU'AL VOLUME OF OAS-THE VEIN WHERE THE FIRE IS, IS 570 FEET BELOW THE SURFACE-MAY Bi: NECESSARY TO FLOOD THE MINE TO QPENCH THE FIRE. A furious fire that threatened the lives of seventy-live men and boys until they were got quickly to the sur face, is raging In tho "Red Ash," or bottom, vein of Hoyt's shaft of the Pennsylvania Coal company at Port Blanchard, below PIttston, and Is liable to do considerable damage before It Is subdued. Tho gas Ignited nt 8.30 o'clock yesterday morning from u blast llred In tho main gangway of the vein. The shaft Is loaded with gas and It toqulred only a few minutes before tho lire was blazing 100 feet from tho face of the gangway. The course Is being driven by William Schrank. When lie noticed the Ignition of gas, ho lost no time In giving the nlarm. Between seventy-live and eighty men and boys nro employed In the "Red Ash" vein. It Is the bottom lift of the shaft and Is 7S0 feet below tho surface. They dropped their tools and mode for the "foot" ns quickly as they could run. The engineer was no tified to put on steam and get them out. Before 9 o'clock every ono in tho bottom vein was brought out. HEAT WAS INTENSE. The heat was very Intense, so much so that It warmed the air a good dis tance up the shaft. There uru four lifts. The next lift above the "Red Ash" is 200 feet from It. The employes there were next got out, and then those of the lift above and so on until the last man was out.. It was not more than nn hour after the lire started until all were safe on the surface, and then attention was directed towards lighting It. The news was sent to the general oflice in Dun more nnd Alex Bryden, superintendent of the mining department of the com pany, got on a special train and arriv ed at the shaft before noon. Under his direction, assisted by Su perintendent James Bryden and Mine Foreman J times Heslin, of Hoyt's, a large force of men was mustered to go down nnd light the fire. The shaft has a system of piping for use in nn emergency of this kind, and water was turned on by that system, but it wouldn't work very well, and n lino of hose S00 feet long had to bo let down to carry a stream. This stream has been playing stend ily on the edge of the fire since noon yesterday. At 11 o'clock last night the flames were driven back 300 feet from the point they had reached outward, but there la a distance of 400 or 500 feet yet where they have full sway. FLOODING MAY BE NECESSARY. It may be necessary to Hood the en tire vein In order to choke off the fire. The doors, timbering and brattice work In the path of the lire were reduced to ashes long ago. That means a good deal. It means that the air current Is destroyed, and gas feeds on the ab sence of air. There Is a reserve fan nt the shaft and that and tho regular fan have been going at full speed since last evening. The Hoyt Is one of the most gassy shafts In the Wyoming coal fields, and the "Red Ash" has more of the fluid than any other vein in it; almost as much as the other three veins combined. It is n common thing to have an Igni tion of gas there. But usually not much damage Is done. Extra precautions are taken to guard against fire, and the best facilities ate in readiness to ex tinguish It. Several thousand feet of lumber have been taken down to reconstruct the air passages. A large, force of men is laboriously engaged In subduing the fire. Superintendent Bryden was In charge at a late hour last night, and he hopes to get tho fire under control. PILLARS ON FIRE. Tho pillars nre ailre and that makes their work uncertain. If substantial progress has not been made this morn ing tho vein will be Hooded, but tho oillclals think they will not have to re sort to that. Hoyt shaft gives employment to 223 hands. It has a capacity of 373 cars a day. Its output goes to tho 'Ewen breaker, some dlstunce away. Tho Ewen Is fed by another mine, too, and Is not idle because of the lire, but can operate not much over quarter time. ileaEfh is Weal. DR. E. C.
