CITY HALL CHAT.

| :
The prospects tor The public auditorium
have frightened since the return of Aid.
| Conley from the Pacific coast The matter
has passed the assembly. and the only stun
| bling block to interrupt the project is the op-
| position of few enemies TO the enterprise
among the aldermen but Aid. Conley is a
| staunch supporter of the plan, aud he will
| douh tless bolster up the waning chances OF
| the auditorium this evening
II
At tonight's meeting the assembly file will
| come up for passage. and should it 10
| through. the joint committee on auditori tim
| Will meet at once, and arrange to proceed
| with the work. Assemblyman Van Slyke is
| the chairman of this committee. He hds
| been absent from the city the past three
| weeks. but he will return in time to take the
| helm and it is possible that the structure
| will bea monument to his efforts aud his
! skill
| Aid. Conley is also member of the spe-
cial joint committee on auditorium. and he
| will take an active part i'll the work from
| this on While it is possible that the enemies
| to the improvement may kill the measure
| this evening. it is hardly probable. Duriu g
the past two weeks the citizens of the city
have taken occasion to inform Aid. Dobner
Gehan. Sanborn and Dorniden that they are
not acting i'll accordance with the wishes of
the people when they vote against the meas
Ire. and there is no danger of Aid. Dobner
again declaring that he is unable 10 find a
single man in the city of st. Paul that fayors
the plan.

There is scarcely any political movement
Nff nit. hail L.
of short campaign. and no convention is
likely to be held until couple of weeks be-
fore election day. The council. however.
must appoint the judges of election earlier
than that or by April S. according to the
new election law. There is talk of reducing
the size of several election precincts but
there doesn't seem to be great and urgent
need of general change At the last cleo
ton there was no trouble about polling the
vote.

The report at the city hail is that the
kids" OF st. Paul have dropped Col. Kiefer
and espoused the cause of a confrere-Fred
Ingersoll. The St Paul 'iKids'' do not really
love Kiefer and they have been shouting for
him simply because they did not see other
available material, but now that Fred Inger-
SOIL is in the race. there is not a voice in the
Kid organization favorable to Col Kiefer S
asperatioa. This is cruel blow 10 the
colonel. lie has lived two whole years in
the hope of once more heading the Repub-
lican city ticket and to have that hope
playfully crushed is severe thing for him
to contemplate.

Henry A. Fleischmann, the AZotine king,
spent goodly portion of Yesterday, together
with Jim Donnelly, at the city hail They
were exerting every influence to get further
hearing upon their claim of $3.50 for de-
stroying the garbage of the city, but the
eouncilmen are obdurate. and declare that
the action of the assembly was peremptory.
This being true. the only recourse of the
Azotine company is the courts. While a
number of the members of the council favor
a compromise, some are opposed to paying
dollar unless upon a judgment finally de-
creed by the courts. Mr.. Fleischman said
Yesterday that he will institute proceedings
at once to recover the $3.50 alleged to be due
the company under the contract. The opin-
ion Of the corporation attorney is that no
part of it can be collected, or else all, under
the law
