The following, taken from 1.-THE OIL,

new bill just introduced in the legislature
of New York state:

even psychologists, disagree as to it's
potency"
A similar bill was introduced last April
but 1t is shrewdly surmised that the inf1u-
ence OF interested parties prevented its
passage. The provisions of the present
bill are so just that it PROBABLY will soon
become law.

After Mcdonald.

A dozen or more raft pilots from vari-
Gus cities along the river met at Dubuque
two!weeks ago, fact already alluded to
in THE ARGUS. Their business was
secret. 1t was subse Quently reported
that they had scheme to buy all the
raft boats on the river. and to run them
on the cooperative plan. 1t turns out
that the meeting was called at the request
of the pilots formerly in the employ of
D. a. Mcdonald & Co, Lacrosse. When
Mcdonald Bros. failed they owed these
pilots from 5000 upward. says the Tele-
graph, and the former now propose com
promise with their creditors which con-
templates lease by them of the raft boats
aud the mill at Lacrosse which went
into the hands of the court when they
failed. Under the proposed arrangement
the pilots are to get little or nothing
They believe Dan Mcdonald is able to
pay them and they propose to libel every
Mcdonald boat that goes into any pOr
on the upper Mississippi next season.
Under the federal law their claims are
liens upon the boat no matter how often
she changes owners. AID they can tie her
her up until Their bills are paid, unless
bonds are given 10 secure any judgments
which may be obtained on the strength
of the claims. They also propose boy
colt. They propose, unless paid. to boy
colt the Mcdonald boats and the pilots
who accept situations on them. If boat
runs upon sand bar she will be left to
her fate. Passing boats will net see her.
All the raft pilots on the upper Mississip-
pi are members of the association. 1t is
therefore difficult to see how Mcdonald
will be able to get pilots next season
unless be pays those he had last.

SNOW STEPS ASIDE.
New superintendent Of Fire
Alarm System Next.
KELLOGG WILL APPOINT HIM.
Hopes OF Would Be Firemen Once More
Deferred = Family Feud Re-
ferred to the Family.

The fire commissioners met last evening
and accepted the resignation of George D.
Snow, superintendent of the fire alarm
system, to take effect April so.
When Mayor Ronald took his seat there
were present Commissioners Kahaley,
Jones, Foster and Masel. The space set
apart for spectators was crowded with
expectant office-seekers, who were greatly
disappointed if they expected any I'M
usua. developments.
Mayor Ronald said: 1--WE will listen to
any communications from the clerk" and
Shows resignation.
Mr.. Jones moved that the designations
be accepted, to take effect on the date des-
ignated. The motion was seconded by
Mr.. Masel and carried.
communication from g. ]. Stillwell re-
cited his desire to be city electrician and
was backed by recommendations from
many sources, including the Edison Gen.
eral Electric Company, of this city, and
the Gamewell Fire Alarm Company, of
San Francisco. The mayor said that the
matter of appointments was in the hands
of Chief Kellogg and he proposed that
they refer it to him.
Mr.. Jones said that, although Mr.. Still
well was, no doubt, capable, he preferred
A. r. Pinckney, who was well thought of
by all who knew him.
Mr.. Kahaley rose to point of order and
said that though he did not wish to take
advantage of Mr.. Jones, applications
must be in writing.
The mayor settled this point by remark
ing that Chief Kellogg would do the APP
pointing.
A communication from J. s. Clark, stat
ing that a fireman named William H.
Clark was not in the habit of paying his
bills, was read and ordered returned to the
writer. Mr.. Jones said that he did not
want firemen who failed to pay their debts.
but he objected to receiving such COM
plants and thus establishing q prece-
dent.
Chief Kellogg and Mr.. Jones held .
whispered conversation, after which the
latter arose and said:
The chief says he il acquainted with the facts
OF the case and knows it to be family feud. 1t
looks to me more like a case Of blackmail than
anything else and move the communication
be returned
Messrs. Kahaley, Jones and Masel and
Chief Kellogg were appointed committee
to report at the next meeting on the con-
dition of the fire department and means to
better its condition.
The committee on the claims of George
Clancy and H. Schultz reported adversely,
and the report was adopted.
Mr.. Jones, who was appointed a COM
mittee of one at the last meeting to in
vestigate claim against Fireman J. J.
Sullivan, reported that it had been settled.
Report adopted.
Applications for positions in the depart
ment were received from the following:
J. A. Munroe, William Kelly. A. J. Kru-
ger, B. F. CaIlihan, Thomas Conan.
