The KnOtty Convict Question.

The Legislature has again under consid-
Grafton ths complicated question as TO
the future disposition of the state con-
victs, but there are really no new devel-
opments in this matter. The present
lease of the cOnvicts will expire on De-
cember 81, 1901, and the law as il stands
now gives the board of commissioners of
state institutiOns-the governor and his
six cabinet officers-full authority TO 90
ahead and enter into contracts to lease
the convicts for another term of four
years, beginning January /, 1902 The
storm center of the agitation against con-
tinuing the lease system has recently been
in the Legislative halls, and the admins
trative officers are simply waiting to give
the fullest opportunity To change the law,
| if it so desires. Many legislators are
conscientiously opposed to the lease sys-
TEN, and so are number of the admin
istrative officers, and of the people; but
the present law provides for the lease
system, and the great difficulty in the
way of abohshing that system Is the fact
that no practicable and satisfactory sub
stitute has yet been submitted.
The latest and most definite solution
of the convict question is proposed by
Representative Chambers, of Marion
county, in bill introduced in the house.
Mr.. Chambers bill provides that the
commissioner of agriculture, with the ap-
proval of the Soard of commissioners of
state institutions, may enter into con
tracts with any person or persons for the
labor maintenance and custody of any
or all prisoners sentenced To or confined
within the state prison, in such manner
a. the said board may deem most adj
vantageOus 10 the interests Of the state,
and with due regard for the health, hu-
name treatment and safe custody of the
prisoners. Such contracts may be made
for term Of years, not exceeding four,
and the prisoners shall not be worked be-
fore sunrise or after sunset on any day,
and no labor shall be done on Sunday.
Such contracts may provide for surrender
ing the control and custody of the pris.
oners TO the person or persons contract
ing for their labor, subject 10 such super
vision of the commissioner of agriculture
as is provided for by law, and for the
payment to the state by such person or
persons of snch sums of money for the
labor of such prisoners on such contracts
as may be deemed advantageous to the
interest of the state, which said sums of
money shall be paid to the state treas
urer in accordance with the terms OF the
contract or contracts. In case the COM
missioner of agriculture does not receive
any applications To pay the state for the
labor of each prisoner, then he shall enter
into such contracts, with the approval OF
the board, for the payment by
the state to any person or person
such sums of money for taking such pris-
oners on such contracts as NAV be
deemed advantageous to the interests of
the state; provided, no prisoner shall be
contracted, leased, let, employed or
worked in any phosphate mine or plant.

THE Mobile Register, comment
ing on Florida's pending dispens-
ary legislation, says: 1t is a half
serious joke at the expense of Flor
idians that in winter they live of
of northern tourists. The dispens-
ary system in its restriction upon
tourist hotels will doubtless have
the effect of driving tourists else
where. People who have money
to spend and the whole world open
to them will not voluntarily visit
a state where they are to be ranked
with minors and placed under a
guardian.

RICHARD CRossER, a leading of
fetal of the Society for the Proven
tion of Cruelty to Animals, of Pat
erson, N. j., was arrested the other
day for beating his wife. The rea-
son, he said, was because she let
his dinner get cold. Wives, of
course, are incapable of suffering,
and are therefore to be beaten upon
slightest provocation, according to
this preventer of cruelty.

SENATOR Quay has given timely

SENATOR Quay has given timely
notice of his intention to give up
politics in an active sense. At a
dinner given in Philadelphia few
nights ago he pronounced his po-
litical valedictory. He gave it To
be understood that he hoped not
To die soon, and had no intention
of resigning his seat in the senate;
also that there We're certain mat
tiers pending before the legislature
that he hoped to see through ac-
cOrding to his liking, but he stated
that he would never again be a
candidate for any political office
nor accept any political position.
Recently the senator was elected
for term of six years.

lT is not well to jump to the
conclusion that Shamrock ii is no
good because she did not beat
Shamrock | in that race the other
day. Sir Thomas Upton was not
under obligation TO have his new
craft put through her best PAGES on
that occasion; it was merely a
brush between his two boats for
his own satisfaction and informa-
tiOn. What he and his experts
planned and discovered has not
been made public. They may
have reached conclusions that Will
enable them to make the new
yacht much faster, than the old
one when she is put TO her best.
1t is poor general who gives his
enemy all of the information that
he possesses. Meanwhile, it is by
no means a foregone conclusion
that the new American yacht will
be faster than the old one.

SECRETARY RooT has approved
the action of the board of officers at
West Point, which recommended
the dismissal of five cadets and the
suspension of six others. This sus-

The foreign ministers meeting ia Paris
Wednesday was very unsatisfactory. No

A DISTINCT difference should be
drawn between saw-grass muck
and cypress muck, SO says the
Florida Agriculturist. The former
generally yields a failure in vege-
table culture, at least for several
years, while the latter is whole
some and productive from the
start.

PROMISE TO ASSIST
RAILROADS WILL AID DIR. OHAGE
IN ABATING SMOKE NUI-
SANCE
OFFICIALS CONFER WITH HIl
Engines Will BE Equipped With
smoke Consuming Apparatus
and Better Grade of
Coal Used.

DR.. Ohage's crusade against the smoke
nuisance has progressed to the extent
that the railroads have promised to aid
in suppressing the volumes that issue
from the stacks of their locomotives as
they pass through the city limits.
AS the result of communications sent
to the railroads by DR.. Ohage, General
Counsel Root, of the Milwaukee, called
on the doctor yesterday and after brief
conference informed him that his COM
pany would abate the nuisance, as far as
it was individually concerned.
A truce of thirty days has been de-
clared, and in the meantime the COM
pany will equip it's engines with Smoke
consumers and educate its fremen to
fire more carefully. Better coal will also
be used. 1t is now expected that the 9TH
er- companies will fall in line To those
that cross bridges, the clouds of smoke
that are thrown in their faces is decid-
ed nuisance, and if the agreement is car
ried out, the relief will be lasting.
Mike Collins, the fireman who pleaded
guilty to violating the smoke ordinance,
paid his fine of $50 in the police court
yesterday. 1t is understood that there
are half dozen additional conplaints
sworn out and that these will be served
when it becomes necessary to- do so.

WORK ON DEPOT FILL
EXPECTED THAT TRACK LAYING
WILL BE COMMENCED IN
THREE WEEKS
WHARvEs TO BE LOWERED
Arrangements Being Made for Fn-
cilitating Loading of Vessels
Massive Foundations for Mill
waukee Freight House.

BY the 18th of next month the con-
tractors in charge Of the union depot
improvements hope to have the fill being
made along the river front in the Vicin-
ity of the depot and yards completed to
the extent that the laying of tracks will
be possible. The fill is now within a few
Feet of the prescribed line and only re-
quires a small addition to make it COM
plste.
IN the construction of the fill and cribs
along the stretch of river between Sibley
and jackson street and where the extern
sin Of the two streets end some radical
changes viii be made. The ends of each
street will be faced with cut stone, while
the wharf will be so arranged that it's
surface will be practically on a level with
the decks of steamers lying against it.
As the wharf and docks now stand, they
are too high, compelling the use of gang
planks at 81 angle that is dangerous.
Store steps viii also be supplied for the
use of launches and other small craft.
Both the streets and also the wharf viii
be paved with granite and supplied with
lamps for lighting purposes.
In the construction of the foundation
for the new Milwaukee freight house,
stone Of immense weight and size Is be-
ing used, this being done to offset the
chances of settling and spreading of the
walls. The foundation will be ready for
the superstructure in about two weeks.
The massive timber cribs which are a
feature of the new fill have all been
anchored with long iron tie rods and are
practically indestructible. They will be
filled with sand and stone and will form
barrier to the encroaching waters.
The remainder Of the fill will be rip-ra D.
ped with heavy stone as far down as
P,7alen creek
While in the minds of many the I'LL
may cause a backing up of water above
an time o. freshots and the usual June
rise, it IS contended that the channel has
been greatly deepened thousands of
yards of sand having been taken from,
the bed OF the river and transferred to
the new addition.

CITY ABOUT TO APPEAL
JUDGE KELLY'S MARKET SITE DE-
CISbON TO BE TESTED.

The city legal department yesterday be-
gan preparations for an appeal to the su-
preme court from the decision handed
down by Judge Kelly holding the law by
which much of the market site was ac-
quired to be unconstitutional
The decision was rendered on an ap-
peal by one Bartel of Philadelphia, VINO
refused to accept, the award of the con-
demnation board. 1t practically reduced
the size of the market grounds one-half
and placed the city at decided disad-
vantage in arranging the market. Judge
Kelly's decision was based largely on the
contention that the law permitting the
condemnation was special legislation in
that it only applied to cities of 5000 pop
ulation and over.
