King Re- fused To Ask His Committee "To Sign The Water Works Committee Report. The members of the city counsil were witnesses of a strange proceed jing last evening, unique in the history of that sacicos body--the withholding of 8 report from the members of a» commitice the chairman. When the mayor cal for a report from the water works committee, Ald. King, chairman, replied, 'no report." Alds. 'Graham and Abbott, at least wers surprised, Ald. Graham informed counwil that the committee had met and transacted business which should be reported to council, After further parley, Ald. King ad- piitted that be had a report, but it wis not full signed. He had the sop- sort of two members only of the com wittee, and could not present a min ofity report. A third member of the committes wah absent in Westbrook ruming 8 hotel, and a fourth wem- pet had' not the courage to take his seat in counvil. All; Mcleod informed' Ald. King that Ald. Sears was ill and unable to attend cotneil, Ald, Grebam angrily informed the council that he had not been asked nor given an opportunity to sign the report. He could sign the report if he wanted to bring it before council, re serving the right to vote om ils pro: visions as he thought proper. Ald. King pointed out that accord ing to clause thirty-three of the rules of council, that "wo report shall be received unless the same be signed by a majority of the committee," was barred from presenting the report. As there was but one clause in the re port, recommending the appointment of an assistant ongineer to the wat er works pumping station, members of the committee signing it were in duty bound to stand by their signatures, and, therefore, the recommendation. Ald. Abbott | also took occasion to inform 'council that he had not been asked nor given an opportunity of signing the report. Ald. King stuck to his point, that not having the support of his com- mittee, and the report being insuflici- ently signed, he was unable to pres ent it. Ald, Behan considered the position taken by Ald. King as perhaps the most remarkable that any alderman had ever taken in the council. Hither to it had been customary for chair men, out of courtesy, to hand mem- bers of their committees reports to wign. This courtesy was due memicrs of the committee, and Ald. King had no right to withhold the report; he was in duty bound to hand over the report. Mayor Shaw called for the next or- der of business, but Ald. Graham ob- jected. "I am here prepared to do the city's business," said he, "and should be allowed to facilitate it. I am pre- pared to sign that report if given an opportunity of doing so. Mr. Mayor, you have sat in committee and differ- ed from your colleagues in certain points, yot =i reports because they bore the signatures of a majori ty of the committee, though you op- posed some points of the report." Mayor Shaw-- You are speaking for me? Ald. Graham.--Yes. Mayor Shaw. --Have the goodness to speak for yourself, mever mind me. Ald. Walkemr-Oh, Ald. Graham is quite capable of apualiin for himself, Ald. Graham I am here to trans act the ¢ity's business, no matter who may see fit to stay away, and no matter what others may want to do, and 1 should be handed that report to sign. \ =~ "At this stage Al. Kiog handed the report to the city clerk, \saying, that as chairman of the © ittee, he was through with it, the weport in the hands of the city Beban--Under what rule of council does Ald. King hand the un- signed report to the city clerk with out giving members of his committee an rtunity of signing it? Aid, King replied that he was guid: ed by a rule of common sense. If the committee signed the rt now the would do so without his consent. If they , signed it they were in duty bound to stand by their signatures. Ald. Behan asked if there was any rule a chairman cold with hold & report from his committee. The mayor replied that as the docu- ment was' not properly signed he rul- od that it was not a report. Without Precedents All. Farrell poiuted out that Ald. King's Action was not customary sud was, perha without t. No chairman had a right to withhold a teport from the members of his com- mitted. If countil' was to: be ruled in this arbitrary way by one chairman, the council wight us 'well band over the city's business to him and allow him to transact it, The mayor shoukl nest Ald. King to band the report members of his committee. McLeod asked if it was a fact King had refused to hand to his comuitten. He was THRE DAILY WHIG, TUESDAY, JUNE 24, council. He was willing to si the report if allowed. fing ! i" Ald. Geshaonr--Mayv I have the peivi- lege of signing the report, Mr. Mayor? Mayor Shaw--Have you any objec: tion, Ald. King ! Ald. King still maintained that the stand he took was the proper ooe. There was only oue clause in the re port, and by signing it the other mem. bers were bound tO stand by it. In some cases aldermen had sighed a re- port, but had taken the trouble to point out clauses to' which they ob pared, At the point Ald. Grabam walked around to the city clerk's desk, and, taking up the report, signed it. He then handed it to Ald. Abbott, who also attached his signature. Ald. Graham--1 see that Ald. King has not yet asked his other colleagues tp sign it. He would like to run the whole show. It's a queer thing if he is the only one around the board who has any brains. Ald. King took the trouble to in form the council that the present water works committee had been in. tended for the city property commit: tee, whose chief duties might have been to pasture cows on the smelter site, of relieve the certain clubs of the rental of Ontario hall. He refused to present the report, now that it had been fully signed. Ald, Graham pre sented the report and Ald. Graham amd Abbott moved that it be receiv- ed. Carried. Alls. King and Walkem moved the adoption of the report. The first men- tioned said he knew for two reasons that there woulll be considerable trou Bile over the report. The first was that both Alls. Abbott and Graham differed from him 'politically and had objected to Mr. Clarke in committee; alo that the gentlemen on his right were known to stand firmly together when it came to a question of poli tics. Another reason was that the trades and labor council had declared for another man.' Yet despite the trades and labor council, he was =till prepared to support Clarke. Ald. King defined at some length his ves: sons for supporting Clarke, the princi: cipal one being that it was because Clarke was thoroughly skilled in the running of enginers and possessed a through knowledge of different parts of engines. Another strong reason was that Clarke was thoroughly tem porate. Had Clarke not applied, the speaker woukl have supported Taglor; but because Taylor had heen put forth as a union man, and solely 'as a union man, he would feel inclined to pt him to one side; had Taylor been brought forward as the better man for the position, he might have been inclined to support the union's nomi- nee. He knew for a fact that there were some union men who would be lad if the unions were wiped out and they were allowed to go free. The union men do not come forward with goad grace and ask for consideration rom the council, when the union men so soundly abused the members of the council at 'the Jamuary elections. What-was it that recently evoked the strike at the locomotive works ? Was it not that union mechanics refused to work with a man who was not a skilled mechanic ? Now they come forth and wish to have a union juan work shoulder to shoulder with en en gineer who is not a union man, nor one possessing engineer's papers. By their action the union men had splin- tered the arguments set forth in the the principle which recently caused the strike at the locomotive works, Substituting A Name. Alds. Hipson and . Harkness opened the second part of the ball hy moving that the name of Edward Taylor be substituted for that of Charles G. Clarke in the report. Ald. Abbott pointed" out that when Lennon was dismissed it was under- stood that a skilled mechanic must be appointed to the position. At the last meeting of the committee some of the members began to hedge on the meaning of the words "dalled me chanic.," He was opposed to Clarke bepause he was not a skilled mechanic, He would support a candidate. who bad first-class papers. He was not one of the weak-backed ones referred to by Ald, King, and did not require the unions to support him. Alds. Farrell and Craig presented the name of John Rice, who lately filled the position temporarily, Ald, Farrell maintained that he was consistent in moving. the name of Mr. Rice. Ald. Behan spoke at some length in behalf of Rice. He cautioned Ald. King from expressing opinions as to what be knew of what was runnin through the minds of the anembers of the reform side of the house: Ald. Walkem did not know what shot the reformers had to fire on the yuestion. He bad been a strong sup- rier of Rice, but, when he threw up is job for no apparent reason, and then came back on his knees, asking the gentlemen on the opposition to present his name again, he lost the support of the speaker. AM. Behan--He did not come hie knees, he came as a man. Ald. Walkem--He came on all fours, then. At the request of Ald. Behan, Ald Walkem withdrew the two statements made with reference to Rice. "AM Tait dilated at great length up- on the pecessiry qualification to fill the post "of engineer at the pumping station, He gave Clarke a splendid recommendation, and said that Taylor wos ing his dighity by applyisg for such a position; he w ly Gualified engineer.

Farrell followed up by endors. ing the candidature of Taylor, pout ing ong that as the councHl had to chose beiwesn the two remaining can didates, the better one should reccive the appointment. Ald. Walkem was glad he was shle to agree with Ald. Farrell upon one point, at least. He was favorable to the candidature of Taylor. After an experience of six or seven years on the water works committee, the speaker's ideal man for the vacant position was a skilled mechanic. Ald. Behan pointed out that Ald Walkem was not quite consistent, he had always heen of the opinion that none but skilled mechanics should be appointed to the pumping station, he should not have supported the pres- ent. chief engineer. Would Ald. Walkem place the two men on a level' Ald. Walkem said that Cullen was the best man the city ever had in the pumping station. Ald. Craig also paid a tribute to the worth of Taylor, and pointed out the necessity of appointing a skilled ma: chinist to the position. Ald. King charged Ald. Farrell with voting for Rice, knowing that his name would not carry. Ald. Farrell appealed to the chair, and Ald. King, upon request, with- drew his statement. The motion of Alds. Hipson and Harkness, to appoint Edward Taylor, was next brought up and carried on this division : Yeas--Mayvor Shaw, Behan, Bell, Craig, Dunlop, Farrell, Graham, Warkness, Hipson, Kent, Knapp, Walkem, White --14.

Abbott, AT THE CAVALRY CAMP, The Soldiers Are in the Last Week For Drill. _ The opening day of the last week in camp at Barriefield passed off very quietly. The troops have got down to business, and are doing their work in earnest, The camp is a quiet one, owing to its small size, and there is little to disturb the tranquility. It was a lamentable accident that befell trooper Kenny "Sw Saturday night. Kenny is 4 Prince Edward county man, and belongs to "D"" squadron of the 3rd Dragoons. He vis ited the city on Saturday night, and according to his story was set upon by a gang of toughs, who, without provocation, beat him unmercifully, They left him with a broken shoulder blade and a few others injuries, He is now in the Kingston general hospi- tal undergoing treatment, The officers of the brigade express themselves ax having been delighted with the service at St. George's cath- edral on Bunday morning. Bri qaartermaster-sergeant Vic- tor Stroud is a very popular young fellow in camp, and has shown him- self to be thoroughly fitted for the position. The drilling exercises yesterday ai- tarnoon were very interesting. It was a sample of how mounted men do dismounted drill. The "Boer formu- tion," ad it is called, consists of the squadrons riding up to a certain point, and then being ordered to dis mount and form a skirmishing line. After a "volley has been fired, the lead horses are brought up and the men gallop away at high speed. An order from Col. Montizambert, D.O.C., states that all officers who attend the coronation services in St. George's cathedral on Thursday next, will be good enough to wear full dress.

The men have plenty of blankets, however, and so do not sui fer at might. There's one thing about the weather of late; it won't cause the men's faces to "burn up" very much. Most of the troopers are very fond of vegetables, but thoy get little of them in camp, Yesterday three fol lows were noticed 'returning to the camp carrying about a dozen per snips, which they had "swiped" from a farmer's field near the camp. "Where did yon get those parsnips ¥"' demanded an officer, who chanced to see the happy trio. "Stole them," was the prompt reply.

The English team won the final polo match with the Americans by seven to one, Chicago and Pitisburgs played a nineteen innings watvh on Sunday, the former winning, three to two. Montreal Herald Capitals and Cornwall will celebrate the crowning of the king by breaking one another's crowns. Tt is a remarkable fact that Sullivan has lost' several matches in the first innings, due to lack of "warming up" prior to the game. It is said that the only crew 'eon: sidered likely to beat the Toronto Argonauts at the Henley regatta is the third Trinity, which are practical ly the Cambridges. The Newark baseball team bas pro tested Friday's game with Toronto on the ground that Hardy, who pitch ed for the latter is 'the property of the Troy club, of the New York state league. Superior work with the stick, fast running, tricky dodging and heav er weight on the part of the Shamrocks, champion blue ribbon lacrosse team of Canada, worked the downfall of the Crescents, of Brooklyn, In the match which Sullivan pitch ed on Saturday for Providence five hits and a base on balls and an error gave Buffalo five runs in the first innings, and won the game for them. After the first Sullivan steadied down and not a man got past second base, Harley Davidson, professional cham- pion of Canade, is filling an engage ment at Sohmer park, Montreal, with the International eycle whirl.

H. Britton was réad: " As solicitor for E. P. Brannigan, I am instructed to apply to your worshipful body for g lease of one or more of the stalls in that part of the city market No. 1, known as the shambles. Mr. Brannigan is willing to pay a reasonable rent and to ggree to submit to any reasonable condi tions that may he imposed; and he is further willing to give security that he will faithfully fulfil any obligation that he may undertake. Jn the event of the council not being in a position, for any reason, to accede to this re quest, Mr. Brannigan suggests that all the stalls be put up at auction nd rented to the highest bidders.

I beg the council to consider this matter with as little delay as possible." Mr. Britton had a second communi cation in the hands of the city cleck, charging certain irregularities against market clerk McCammon, but just be fore council opened it was withdrawn and will be presented again in an other form.
