The Wardenship Contest.

For a week to come there will be some
rather tall hustling by the friends of candi-
dates for the Wardenship of the county Jail
Inspector McAleese is still in the lead as
far as popular sentiment is concerned. Next
to him is ex-Deputy Warden Gang, whose
hackers claim his chances are of the best
James Williams has withdrawn from the
race, but Messrs. Long and Negley are
putting in their best efforts to win.

Pleased With Reciprocity.

Senor V. de la Gala, of Matanzas, Cuba,
has been in this city for several days He
represents q large commission house in
Cuba which has an almost exclusive trade
in the furnishing of pumps, engines. etc
Senior de la Gala, like many other West
India ialanders, is delighted with reci-
procity treaty, and says Pittsburg turns out
the best machinery made in the world. The
magnitude of the sugar interests of Cuba
can only be appreciated, he says. by per-
sonal observation. Many plantations en-
brace miles of land under cultivation, and
the very smallest are worth 500, 900 each.
That is the minimum price under which it
is possible to engage in the culture of sugar.

POLITICAL ITEMS.

Ignatius Donley is candidate for the
alliance nomination for president in 80.
Gov. Albeit says that the value of
land per acre is greater lin New Jersey
than in any other state.
The prohibitionists of both Iowa and
Maine are making one more effort to
make prohibition prohibit.
The amount of taxation levied in
Kansas last year was S13, 1872, 800. an
average of 1912 for each 500 as as
sessed value.
President Harrison managed to re-
tain control of the Indiana republican
central committee, but the opposition
made hot fight.
A bill prohibiting the issuing of rail-
road passes to state officers and mem
bers of the legislature is under consid-
GRAFTON in Michigan. The penalty pro-
posed is fine of not less than 81, 900 or
more than $4,000.
The Mississippi legislature of 1899
refused to submit prohibition amend
ment to the people, and the recent con-
stitutional convention decided not to in
sert prohibition article. Therefore the
prohibitionists are talking of running
candidates hereafter for every Office.
In the last presidential election they
polled only I8 votes

For Hearst's Place.

San Francisco, March 1.-THE legis-
lature being overwhelmingly republi-
can the democrats can take no part in
the selection of a successor to Senator
Hearst, except by casting compliment
tary votes for favorites. Yesterday in
the senate Ostrom got 10 votes and there
were scattering. In the house Ostrom
got l6 and Blanchard 8. The fight is
between NJ. NJ. Estee, Charles N. FELTON,
and NJ. H. De Young. Yesterdays bal
lot in the house showed: De Young Is,
Estee l3, FELTON, 8: in the senate: Estee

fOlK on Palmer.

Washington, March 13.-President
Polk of the national alliance, declined
this morning to express his views on
the election in Illinois, of General Pal
mer to the senate and the position of
the three alliance men in the recent
contest in Illinois, further than to say
that it appeared to him to have been a
fight between the republican and DEM
Ocratic parties, rather than a contest
between those two parties and the ALI
ance. The alliance, he thought, had
fought manfully for principles and
though, they had not been victorious in
sending farmers alliance man to the
senate he believed that General Pal
mer's selection would generally be
with more favor than that of any Of the
other candidates. General Polk said
further that he knew of no promises be-
ing made by General Palmer as to his
policy in the senate on any questions
whatever

State House Affairs.

Topeka, March 1O.-The house this
morning took up the reports of the
committee on state house affairs. relat-
ing also to the metropolitan police.
Inc state house commissioners pre-
sented affidavits to the effect that thew
had not been permitted to submit state
ments showing how the funds had been
expended and giving their reasons for
SO DONG. The police cOmmissi Oners
claimed that Mayor Nicely had only ex-
amined one side of the case. The dis
cusslon over these reports consumed
the time OF the house all the morning.
Mr. Nicely attempted to force the house
to come to his terms and wasted the
time OF the house in useless talk. Mr..
Elder finally gained consent to introduce
a resolution adopting the recommends
lions OF the committee on the metropol-
ltan police and ordering 1900 copies
printed. A recess until o'clock was
taken,, with this resolution pending.
The resolution will probably be adopted
although the republicans will oppose it.
The finding and recommendations of
the committee are contained in what
follows:
The committee reports that the STAT
ute requiring the board of state house
commissioners to submit a quarterly
report of expenditures lis practically
dead letter, having been utterly disre-
garded since 1882. The report contin-
ues: I'VE are well convinced that large
amounts. OF money have been expended
unnecessarily and unwisely, if not COR
ruptly, which might have been pre-
vented had the safeguards which these
reports were intended to furnish been
regarded. After the expenditure of
$3.50, sos in the excavation and cOnstruc-
ton OF the basement ..and endorsement
stories of the central building, full
plans and specifications for the entire
furnishing and ornamentation of the
cen raj building were prepared; also
detailed working plans and an estimate
OF the total cost of furnishing the build
ing to the state, ready for use. The ag-
gregate OF this estimate, including $50
GOO for contingencies, was $685., 3e9."
The committee submits figures to
prove that the work should have cost the
state $824,577.
I'VE have shown that the cost of the
work which will be supplemental to tn
existing contracts must be at the loves
estimate $155, 1885," continues the re-
port, land if to this is to be added the
same ratio of extras which has per-
tanned as to the two existing contracts
this item will reach the sum Os $3.50, 900
or $500, 900, or more than double what it
ought to be-"

Washington, March 13.-The COM
missioner of Indian affairs has awarded

stock cattle, to be delivered at Usage

Notwithstanding the resolutions it is
not certain that an adjournment will be
agreed upon to-day. The two branches
of the Legislature are haggling over the
worlds fair, miscellaneous appropria-
ton and other minor appropriation
bills and both houses are disguised at
the sessions work. They seem to be
holding on in the hope that some emer-
gency measure may come up that will
them.
The high court OF impeachment"
created by the house is grinding out
business fifteen minutes each day.
There is nothing else for the senate to
do and the senators, since the passage
Of the executive appropriation bill, do
not care what becomes of the legisla-
ture.
