How the Debt Will be Paid,

The next and last act in the settle
ment with Spain is the payment OF the
$4,000, 900 for her peace expenditures
in the Philippines. Mr.. William E.
Curtis, in the Chicago Record, explains
the procedure which he says will be
exactly like that adopted in the case of
any other creditor. A warrant will be
made out and sent to the comptroller
who will examine the law to see il the
warrant is properly drawn. 1t will
then go to one of the assistant secre-
tarles of the treasury for approval and
then to Treasurer Roberts, who will
conntersign it, designate the place
where 1t shall De paid, and send it to
the French ambassador or other per-
son who may be selected by Spain to
receive it, The latter will deposit 1t
with some New York bank for collec-
ton and the warrant will go through
the clearing house like any ordinary
check. The $40, 1000, 900 will then be in
bank to the ambassadors credit and he
will transmit it to the Spanish govern
ment in the usual way.

"A Contented Woman"

When Hoyt's best and most humor-
GUS comedy, "A Contented Woman
is presented at the Auditorium next
Friday evening 1t is but fair to pre-
sumo that standing room will be at a
premium to late comers. Playwright
Hoyt has written and produced a score
or more of successes, but from all re-
ports his most emphatic success, the
one that has brought him the most dal-
lars and placed him more prominently
before the public as successful author
is "a Contented Woman" 1t is
claimed that he has never shown a
more thorough knowledge of what
makes the success of such a piece than
in this production. Its novel features
ridfculously funny scenes and situa-
tions and superb cast more than any
thing, has made it go. The music in
the piece-and there is said to be SO
much that at times the piece takes on
an air of light opera-is of the most
spirited character and is the work of

The Mazet Committee,

The Mazet Committee, which is COM
posed of five Republicans and two
Democrats, began on the 9Th inst. its
Investigation of the departments OF
government of the city of New York.
The counsel employed are Frank Moss

officer of the Rev. DR.. Parkhurst's So
ciety for the Prevention of Crime) ] ohm
Proctor Clarke and Francis Laimbeer.
At the first session it was shown that
certain manufacturers of material used
in making fire-proof floors and parti-
tions could not do business in the city
until they had placated the authorities.
The first witness was Frank Croker,
son of Boss Croker, but he had evaded
a subpoena 1t was then shown that he
was the secretary of the company con-
trolling a fire-proofing process which
had been excluded by the Department
of Buildings up to the time when he
was taken into the corporation as
stockholder and officer, accompanied
by James w. Hinkley, formerly chair
man of the Democratic State Com
mittee. Then the process was APPROX
ed by the authorities. Here was tes-
timony that persons desiring the fav-
orable opinion OF commission which
is making regulations concerning the
construction OF buildings were ad-
vised to employ one Charles E. F. Nc

A Lively Contest in Progress for the
Cuyahoga Delegation.

Cleveland, o., April 17.--The war be-
tween the factions in the Republican
party OF Cleveland is on once more in
earnest, and it will probably continue
until after the fall election. -
The present struggle is for the con-
troll OF the delegation to the State con-
vention, and leaders, Of both factions
are scheming to accomplish their pur-
pose. The Hanna men are ahead thus
far, for the reason that their County
Committee has been recognized by the
State Committee in sending out the
call for the state convention. If, how
ever, the usual method of selecting del
egates iSEesorted to the McKiss6piteA
may win. SFhsrSfate, it hasSbesd NS-
'$bosed mat the delegation be EappoiAt-
ed by the Hanna committee, on the un-
derstanding that 1t will be seated if the
Senator's friends are in control of the
convention.
II the Hanna committee decides to
appoint the delegates, the McKisson
committee may decide to follow that
example and appoint contesting dele
CATION. In that event no county con-
vention would be held, and the election
OF county committee, which is part OF
the work of the convention, would
have to be deferred until the county
convention was held, perhaps in the
fall.
The McKisson committee held a
meeting this forenoon, and decided to
abolish the popular vote plan Of max
ing nominations for county Offices, and
providing that delegate county con-
vention for the purpose of naming a
county ticket be held on August "a.
The present plan of making nomina-
tions was adopted by the voters at the
polls. and the committee. it is held, had
no authority to change or do away
with it. The object of the committee
is said to have been to make 1t possible
throug- convention, for McKisson to
dictate the nominations for county Of
fees and members OF the Legislature.

! WIN Ohh anu Anot o hOW 0AD Soh Ut
had for 1895. The Street Commits
sioner was asked about the matter and
said that the old one he wished to re-
place was used on the West Side. That
it was the first one the city ever owned
and ha0 been In use for ten or twelve
years. The city owns one that Is in
fairly good condition yet, but 1t is in
use on this side of the river The
matter was referred to the Street com
mittee and Commissioner with power
to act.
Mr.. Barr, FinA warden for the sixth
ward, asked that his salary for the
past six months be paid. This request
brought out several facts that are
quite interesting. 1t seems that in
some wards there are no fire wardens,
while some of them have been drawing
salaries for duties in two wards, or at
least this was the view of the case TAX
en- by some Of the members. 1t was
deemed necessary that something
should be done to protect the city's
rights in the matter and the matter
was referred to the Fire committee,
Solicitor and Mayor to straighten up
and get 1t into good shape for a report.
Mr.. Blume reported that the surface
water is running down through the
dumping ground and that it is becom-
ing soft and swampy.He recommended
that there be a sewer made to carry
this water off into the river. This was
referred to the Sewer committee and
Street Commissioner with power to act
Mr. Strain stated that a portion of
Seventh street sidewalk between
Greene and Butler on the West Side of
the street, was in bad condition and
THAT it needed paving. He offered
motion that the property owners be
Instructed to lay the sidewalks at once.
The c. & NJ. railroad and Mr.. John
Plumer own the property and the
Commissioner was instructed to order
them to lay the sidewalks.
Z A communication was received from
some one living on upper Front street,
asking that Mr.. Sewers, who lives in
shanty boat along the Muskingum
river, be restrained from making gar
den between the property of the resi-
dents and the river. 1t developed in
the discussion of this matter that the
street known as Allen street is virtual
ly part of the original grant for pub
lie commons. The Mayor seems to be
powerless to do anything to oust Mr..
Sewers, and the Street Commissioner
Was instructed to investigate the case
also to see what could ne done about
the obstruction of the street by saw
logs at the mill belonging to the chair
company. Wnen the fire department
was called out there Tuesday morning
they started to drive up the street, but
found it covered with logs and had to
turn back and go through the mill yard
Ito reach the building which was on fire
There are three fire plugs located on
uhe street and the department supposed
that it is street without doubt. Mr..
Eyeliegh thought that If there are fire
plugs on the street the street should be
kept open to allow the wagon to get
to them, burt if it is not a street they
had better jerk the plugs out.
