Snpposcd Airship Seen Again

Omaha, March 19.-Thc excite
ment over the supposed airship seen
in Omaha on Monday night contin-
ucs. There is no doubt that large
number OF Omaha people saw a large
light passing over the city in man
ner that indicated that it was con-
trollcd by human agency. To add to
the interest in the affair in Omaha
the following communication has
lust been received from a reputable
citizen of North Loup, the direction
from which the ball Of fire came when
first seen in Omaha.
"North Loup, Ncb.,-Whilc nc
one here claims as yet to have seen

tised airship number of persons
who were out late Saturday night
claim to have seen wonderful ball
of fire piroucting in the west anc
throwing out myriads of flaming cor
ruscations. Some claim that its
course Was not regular and contin

case of the ordinary meteor OR social

Putting q Price OH Cuba.

The purchase price Of Cuba has
often been considered in the United
States.
Half century ago our minister to
Madrid, as the published correspond
cncc shows, was authorized to offer
500, 600, 900 as the extreme price for
the island.
In 1889 the senate committee on
foreign relations, in a report which
went very carefully into all the
sources of income from Cuba, calcu-
lated that we could afford to offer
1925, 900, 900 for it. That is to say,
the report only relied on getting
SO. 900, 900 a year out of Cuba forth
with, but thought that this sum
would be increased to $4,000 900
within two years. New York Sun.

as 70 rRAMPs.

A member az the California lsgislaA
ture has framed a bill TO deal with the
ramp question that Il being very f.
vorabiy commented upon all " that
state. Its chief feature and what
recommends 1t most strongly, IL that II
makes a distinction between tho unem-
ployed, end those who are only depend
ent because they can find nothing TO
do, and the genuine vagrant. In this
proposed bill, each supervisorial dis
trict Is made q road district. A road
master Is appointed for each district at
. salary Of 50 per diem. All unem-
ployed persons can get work, either
under the roadmaster or at the county
farm, and be given shelter and three
meals a day, and thirty-five sents .
day for his labor. The worthy unem-
ployed can sever connection with his
employer at any time, and secure his
pay on giving the roadmaster or super.
intendent OF the county farm three
days notice. Migrants 80 convicted
shall be sentenced to three months
hard labor and delivered over TO tho
roadmaster.
In case Of refusal to work, there IL .
penalty Of incarceration for ninety
days with bread and water once . day
for his meals. The proposed bill ar
ranges for guard-houses and barracks
for the unemployed and Migrants, each
being separate, and the men to work
in different places. The unemployed
are given all the privileges Of any
workmen, and the contrast between
their condition and that Of the Migrants
is brought out strikingly SO AZ to make
a good impression on the Migrants.

JOSEPH.

The Denver News OF the issue Of the
2Oth inst, published a portrait Of ex-
Delegate to Congress Antonio Joseph,
and present president Of the legislative
council at Santa Fe, speaking Of him as
follows:
Hon. Antonio Joseph is = native Of Ojo
Caliente, Taos county, and Is ffty.ons
years Of age. He received his carly edu-
cation at Lux's academy, at Fernando dc
Taos, afterward for two years was = pupil
of the late Archbishop Lamy at Santa 70,
and later attended Webster college near
st. Louis. Mo. Mr.. Joseph began mer-
chandising at Ojo Caliente, in which bust
ness no is still engaged. His father was .
pioneer man OF affairs in Taos valley. He
has served as county judge, was six years
in the lower house OF the Territorial assem-
bly, and two years q senator, holding that
position when elected as o democrat to
represent New Mexico in the forty ninth
congress, where he served for ten years.

he was made president Of the senate by
unanimous vote.

AN nhjaetinn to tho revision uf the
present laws of New Mexico, voiced at
Santa Fe, is that the work so badly
needed would require at least four
years, whereas they could be compiled
within a years time. Under the pro-
visions Of the present bill before the
legislature, the Territory gets back a
p%ortion of the money paid for the
compilation and printing from the pro-
ceeds of volumes sold to those wanting
them, though justices Of the peace are
not required to purchase at a stated
price.
Las Vegas daily optic. [volume] (Las Vegas, N.M.) 1880-1908, 1897-02-24

OTHER people besides the public
printer are earnestly and honestly in
favor Of the compilation Of the present
laws Of New Mexico, and they present
some arguments that may yet prove Of
sufficient weight in the minds Of the
Legislators to pass the proposed meas
ure for the purpose. A law, the pro-
visions OF which are not known, is
about as Intellectual as q law so far in
advance of public sentiment that it
cannot be enforced.

IT has been learned that Speaker
Reed has laid out a plan whereby
he expects to head off all legislation in
the special session Of congress except
measures affecting the tariff. The bill
which Mr.. Dingley hopes to have ready
to send to the printer about the 10th Of
March will be reported to the house,
the day the special session convenes.
The present indications are that the
organization Of the house will not
occupy more than n day, and that
the caucus, which will be held on the
night before the special session as
sembles, will perfect the slate without
any difficulty. Mr.. Reed expects to be
reelected speaker within twenty-four
hours from the time the special session
is convened, and twenty-four hours
later he will announce the committee
on ways and means and the committee
VI mAAcuEO. Auo OtuoH COuultCt6eH,
however, will not be named until Just
before the special session finally ad-
journs. Bills and joint resolutions will
be introduced, Of course, as usual,
and BIO referred to the committees
when they are named; but the speaker
will do everything in his power to pre-
vent the consideration of any OF these
bills before the regular session of the
house in December next. He has laid
out y plan which promises to be effect
iva, for il be fail to name the commit
tees, there will be no way Of initiating
legislation, as no bills can be consider
ed save those reported from commit
tees. This scheme meets the approval
of the other members Of the committee
on rules, and doubtless will be carried
out to the letter, unless there be a gen.
eral revolt on the part Of the republi-
can members. The democrats will do
all they a to urge on a mutiny among
the republicans against Reeds plan,
denouncing it as s'tyrannical' and

''czar- like" and other epithsts famil-
