TO ANY MORE STREET LIGHTS BEING ADDED As the Expense is Greatly Increased --Street Lighting Will Cost $24,. DOO Next Year, ; mad = Toa The Fire and Light committee, which met on Thursday aiternoos, had a lively discussion over the installation of new street lights and the expense they would be to the city. The chief -argument centred upon the refusal of Ald. H. Nickle to vote for adding more lamps. The latter declared that the next bill for lights would stag- ger the people, and it was his opin- ion that no further lights should be installed. The white way'! system of lights has greatly ' swelled the ex pense, and Ald. Nickle asserted that at the rate the committee was acting, the. next bill would show an expengli- ture of $24,500 for the year's upkeep of the lighting, and "when the eiti- zens realize this fact they will take a fit of jump out of their harness." Considerable discussion ansuéd "among Alds. Sutherland, Stroud and Nickle over the situation. Ald. Suth- erland declared that the expense would be nothing if certain properties were taxed as they should be. He also stated that Ald. Nickle had greatly exaggerated the expense. Ald. Nickle finally made the asser- tion that he was opposed to the in- stallation of any more lights. 'he Finance committee will be ask- ed to furnish a true bill of the ox- pense. A resolution was passed for the pur- chase of rubber gloves for protection of firemen against the high current of electricity" now sent through certain wires. Three pairs have been ordered for each station. Dr. A. P. Chown, on behali of St. John's Ambulance Society, was pres- ent 'and. informed the aldermen that it was the desire of his society that First Aid lessons should be taught to the firemen. The proposition was that six lessons of two hours' dura- tion each would be given the men for one dollar each man. Nothing less than fifteen men would be accepted to take the course. This was left for the committee to decide, Those present at the meeting were Alds.

M. Campbéll--Cheap Power Is Essential in Securing New In. dustries for City. The Kingston. Board of Trade has for some time heen very anxious the city to secars cheap frower, so it [will bave a proposition to ofier to Bew industries. It is through cheap power that industries will be $nduced to locate in this city, and all the ne gotiations along thess lines, on the part of tae eivie authorities, have been watched by the board with the Kenest interest. As a result, the pros ent negotintions between the (jvie Utilities Commission and J. M. Camp- bell for power from hingston Mills are being closely watched, and it is hoped that announcement will soon he made' regarding this latest proposi sion. At the meeting of the board on Thursday night it was stated that a decision would probably be reached in regard to the matter to-day (Friday$. The question of cheap power was again under discussion, and the chair man of the hoards poiver committee, Prof. L. W. Gill, stated that he was looking for a schedule of rates for Kingston, which would be on the same plan as that 'in vogue in West ern Ontario centres. He referred to eo sliding scale or flat rate, instead of the present moter rates. He under stood that the Civic Utilities Com mission was giving the matter con- sideration. He felt satisfied that if a rate was secured on this basis, it would not differ a great deal from th rate given in Western Ontario cen- tres. li this rate was secured, the hoard would have something to offer to new. industries looking for a loca: tion. J. M. Campbell, who has made the proposition to the city, was present and he was asked by the president té6 make a statement, He gaid that he had received a com. munication from the Hydro Electric Commission, in which the statement was made that the commission wa: sending an engineer down to Kings ton to look over the situation, with a View fo buying his power and making. an offer to the city.

Prof. Wrong's address was o1 "German Miiitarism."" He first sai that one should not over estimat: the power of your own side nor un der estimate that of the enemy. H. showed that a blind hatred of the enemy is not always justified. Peo ple should, of course having receive uch definite news, believe that som: of the atrocities that the German were accused of were true. How ever, they should not all be taken a: true. The Germans are by natur tg better or worse than we are. The speaker contrasted Great Bri tain and Germany. The German: have never really given anything t the world id political education They had given music and phitos ophy, but they really orly follow ed other. mations. In politics the have not added at all to mankind' education.

At the meeting of Queen's Political Science Club, on Thursday afternoon, John 8. Ewart, K.C.; of Ottawa, {ave an interesting talk on "'Federa- ion and Confederation." ; "Canada," said the speaker, "is no nore like a confederacy than it is ike a republic, although it is known 8 such." A confederacy is formed Ww two states which for certain pur- oses, such as war on trade or both, 'nite as one internationally, but are nternally quite separate. A federacy 3 when two states are united for dl international purposes. In a con- ederasy thers is no central parlia-» nent as in the federacy. In the federacy there is one legisla- ion which legislates for the people done. In Germany we find an ex- imple of a federation, for there is } ive state parliaments. The imper- ul parliament legislates for all, but he administration is left. to the state The -Bundesrath of the ierman government is composed of + number of diplomats elected by he various states, who take their rders from these states. They act 8 a sort of cabinet and"give assent » war and treaties, and have a right » Tormulate bills to be sent to the arliament. The members have a ight to speak as diplomats in the eichstag. The German states are, herefore, united for all purposes and orm a fedeéracy with a few confeder- te elements included. In the case of Austria-Hungary, | villlam Ewart pointed out that Aus | ria was a federacy, hut that Aus- rla-Hungary formed a confederacy, nd both are united for the purpose f war by the emperor, who is com- iander-in-chief. The speaker stat- d that they were two coronations ast a8 England's king was crowned a Englaud and India, and he hoped ae day would come when England's aler would be crowned king of f Canada, Thus we see that both «austria and Hungary must agree, nd although they have done so Ince 1876, yet if the present wur nds disastrously for them, they will Imost to a certainty be dissolved.
