through Rock Island the other evening
on his way to his home at North Platte,
Neb. At Davenport he asked after sew
eral old settlers who knew his father in
the days when the latter was deputy
sheriff of Scott county. He also in
quired after many of the playmstes of his
childhood. He was asked where be ex>

huge show, the wild West" He re-
piled in Parls-"for the French took to
it unanimously, may say" Mr.. Cody
stated that he would open in Paris, May
2, 1899. and remain there six months. He
should take with him company CONS
prising three hundred white men and In
dians, and about the same number Of
horses. he would also add several fea-
lures which he was positive would prove
excellent additions. The famous scout
spoke of his reception in England, and said
its warmth exceeded his snticips-
tions. I'VE also taught the English PEG

ASKED TO RESIGN.

The Aldermen Express Dissaiisfac-
t,on with street supt. Reynolds and
Request Him TO Step Out.
Atlast nights meeting of the city coun-
ell. Aid. Evans presented resolution
asking Street Superintendent E. P. Rey-
nolds to tender his resignation, and the
resolution was passed by unanimous vote
of the council. While the action thus
taken may create some surprise in the
city, it is but the outgrowth of purpose
long contemplated on the part of the
councilmen.
1--WE have decided to ask Mr.. Reynolds
resignation because his performance OF
the duties expected of his Office have not
been at all satisfactory to any of the al
dermen," said Aid. Evans this morning.
"His entire manner of running the Office
is very far from pleasing In the first
place he is not street commissioner in the
most important sense of the word. He
hires a lieutenant to do his bidding, but
who has no authority to go beyond the
explicit instructions of his superior. We
cannot reach the street superintendent
himself when we desire anything done,
and it affords no satisfaction to talk to
his lieutenant. Mr.. Downs, as that gen
tleman. while probably aiming to suit the
council, is working under orders from
Mr.. Reynolds. who will not listen 10 the
aldermen or give the least consideration
to anything that may be asked of him in
the way of street work. The aldermen
have not hing to say against Mr.. Rey-
nolds as q man, but they are indignant at
his way of conducting his office. and the
la boring men of the city are equally in
censed and have appealed to the alder,
men for change" t
OF course the action of the
council, will not necessarily bring
about Mr.. Reynolds resignation as SUI
perintendent of the streets. The sp-
pointing and dismissing power as regards
offices under the municipality. rests
wholly with the mayor and without the
mayors sanction, the council possesses
no right to remove an officer. The un>
fortunate state of affairs between tn e
aldermen and Mr.. Reynolds is to be re-
GREETED. as all will agree that Rock Island
never had street commissioner of whom

THE LAST STRAW.

The Action of the PapaI PrOpaganda the
Last Straw on the Back of the Irish
Camel.
LONDON, May 4.-The report that
special congregation of the Propaganda
is celebrating upon questions relating to
Ireland and the policy of her Nationalist
party in Parliament for her better gov
ernment has been a sort of final straw on
the back of the Irish camel. The Irish
leaders doubt not now that the rumored
decree from the Vatican has become a
reality, that the points which the cardi-
nails have under their august and pious
consideration viii be decided in a manner
which every lover of unfortunate
Ireland must deem adverse to her best in
terests. In view of this, and in order to
anticipate the coming blow, the leaders of
the National League have, it is learned,
prepared a circular, which has been dis
tributed throughout Ireland to every
branch of the League, calling upon the
members to be firm in their adherence to
that body, and arranging for the stimuli
taneous meetings of twenty League
branches at a time, until all the members
have met and conferred upon the
line of action to be adopted in
respect to the papal rescript and
emanations Of Rome. The first of this
series of meetings viii take place at an
early date, and every thing respecting the
/ assemblings will be maintained in strict
secresy, so that the government viii not
be able to proclaim and put a stop to
/ them.

THE TARIFF DISCUSSION.

The General Business OF the Present Ses-
sion of Congress Pushed Aside by the
Long Discussion of the Tariff Bill - A
Flood of Work Pending.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The Star last
evening, speaking of business in the
House of Representatives, says; The
Speaker and other members of the COM
mittee on rules had an informal talk this
morning concerning the disposal of other
business of the House that is being pushed
aside by the long tariff discussion. 1t was
concluded that nothing could be'done in
the way of setting aside days for special
orders until it was known just when the
general discussion of the tariff should
end. If the debate goes on without inter-
ruption they know just when the seven
teen days will expire, but the time may be
broken in upon. 1t was the general idea
that the Legislative Appropriation bill
would be called up at some time pending
the tariff discussion. Mr.. Randall, how
ever, has failed to make any move so as
to interrupt tho debate, and it is UNDER
stood that he has made up his mind not to
do so of his own volition. just at present
he is confined to his room with an attack
of sickness, but if he were present it is
not his purpose to interrupt the tariff de-
bate by calling up any measure.
On the last committee-suspension day
necessary two thirds vote. Since then
the friends of the bill have been working
for votes, and Mr.. Blanchard thinks he
will be able to secure the two-t thirds vote
on Monday. His purpose is to make the
attempt at that time. The committee on
rules, as soon as they see their way clear
out of the tariff, will probably fix another
day for the committee on territories and
the committee on commerce and the Pa
cific railroads to compensate them for the
assignments they lost by the DTrect-Tax
deadlock. The territories will call
up the Oklahoma bill if they
get their day. The Pacific Railroads
Funding bill and several bridge bills
will be called up by the Pacific railroads
and the commerce committees. It is pro-
posed also to make favorable report to
the House upon the proposition sent to
the committee from Springer at the open
ing of the session to provide for a joint
committee, consisting of three members
of the House and three of the Senate, to
consider the question of legislative re-
form. The joint committee is to sit dur
ing the recess Of Congress for the pur-
pose of devising, if possible, some means
by which Congress may be relieved from
| the consideration of private bills, which
are constantly accommodating on the calen-
| dar and in committees.
