Transfers ~ He Got Six
Cents--Whiting Makes
His Old Bid.

The second installment of bids on
street railway route No. 8 in the city
Of Canton. were opened Thursday after
noon in the Office of City Clerk Lloyd.
Four bids were received up to IL
o'clock. The bidders are: William VI.
Hoover. Charles A. Kolp and John c.
Welty, Julius Whiting. Jr., Andrew ~.
McCarty and the Canton-Akron Rail
way company. a..
Mr.. Whiting adheres to his three cent
fare but this time the Hoover-Kolp-
Welty combination goes him one better
by offering to carry passengers both
ways for five cents. The bid of the
Canton-Akron Railway company does
not differ in any essential points from
that submitted by the same company OF
the first occasion. Mr.. McCarty, the
only really new bidder on the list, has
the only bid which carries a transfer
agreement. He offers to carry pas
sengers over the route and give trans
fer to any other line in the city for a g.
cent fare.
The bids in detail are as follows:
Messrs. Hoover, Kolp and Welty-
Will carry each adult passenger for
cents for a continuous ride in one direc-
tion and each adult passenger for a
round trip for the same fare. Children
over and under IL years will be charg-
ed 3 cents. There will be no transfers
Canton-Akron Railway company
Each grown person one way 8 cents
Each child over 8 and under IL years
cents. Six tickets for 25 cents. twelve
for so cents and 25 for 81.
Julius Whiting, Jr.-Three cent fare
over entire road or any part thereof
Andrew NJ. McCarty-Pass<1gers
cents for each trip with transfer. Twen-
ty tickets for 81.
All of the bids were accompanied by
the required bonds in the sum of $500
and all, with the exception of Mr.. Whit
ing's contained quit claim deeds for the
property necessary to the opening O.
Oxford street.
The failure of Mr.. Whiting to comply
with this recruitment is not considered
damaging to his bid as the section c
the ordinance referring to the filing @
these deeds is regarded as illegal.
In the absence of Mr.. Whiting, hi:
bid was presented by Mr.. c. c. Bow
Mr.. mccarthy presented his bid in per
son, as did Mr.. Hoover, Kolp and Welty
| The bid of the Canton-Akron compan.

ted two bids. one in the name of Welty
Hoover & Kolp, and the other in tn,
name of the Canton Akron company.

Massillon, May 22.-J. N. Mckee, a
soap peddler, arrived in Mt. Eaton, west
of here across the Wayne county line,
with a well developed case of smallpox
The people of that village became great
ly frightened when they learned of the
mans condition, and he was hustled un-
tremendously into his wagon and
started in the direction of Massillon.
After some time they telephOned to the
officers that they might expect him.
Considerable excitement prevailed
here when this condition of affairs be-
came known. officers were stationed
at the outskirts of the town to intercept
Mckee, but the man took roundabout
course, and entered the city without
meeting them. He drove into the busi-
ness portion of the city, where he was
recognized from a description of him
and his conveyance, and was taken in
charge by the officials. He was soon
occupying a cell in the city prison,
Residents in the neighborhood were
not long in learning of the affair and
objected to the man remaining in the
vicinity. BY means of threats and en-
treaties the officers decided to remove
him. After considerable discussion IL
was finally decided to take him to the
pest house. The crowd which had
gathered around the city prison was
very strong In its threats. and said the
building would be burned II the man
was not taken away.
Before taking Mckee TO the pest
house the health authorities attempted
to convert the rehearsal rooms OF the
Military band into temporary hospi-
tai, and the man was taken there. The
members OF the band seen learned of
the diseased mans rreselce In their
rooms and Immediately raised so strong
kick" that Il seemed probable that
a riot would ensue II the man was al
lowed to occupy their quarters for any
length Of time. Threats were made
that II the man was not taken elsewhere

fractional Troubles In Ohio

ONO remains the center of interest in
the matter of this years politics A lively
campaign for control of the state is or
the cards, with both parties already show
ing factional divisions
The democratic divisions were the first
70 be revealed. Mr.. Mclean did NOT take
kindly to the talk Of carrying into the state
convention for Endorsement the princ,nIes =
of the platform upon which Tom Johnson
had been elected mayor OF Cleveland and
Sucker Rod Jones mayor of Toledo, and
he said as much in very plain English in
his Cincinnati newspaper. Nor Is he at all
likely to recede from that position He
calls for platform upon which old fash
ioned democrats can stand with comfort.
Mr.. Johnson's reply to that Is the securing
of Cleveland as the place for holding the
state convention, where. being on his own
ground. We may expec; Mr.. johnson to ap-
pear in his best fighting form.
But the republicans have promptly fol-
lowed with an exhibition of their divisions
There was no thought until a few days ago
of any other nomination for governor by
them but that OF Judge Nash. 1t is the
custom in the state to ask Il second term
for the incumbent of that office and it was
assumed that this would be done without
objection this year. Judge Nash is a man
of ability. and has given good account of
himself in directing the state affairs.
Quite unexpectedly, however. there is a re-
port that Judge Taft of the Philippine Com
mission is to be put forward in opposition TO
Judge Nash. and that he is to have the sup
port of George B. Cox of Cincinnati, who
represents almost much influence in the
republican party as Mr.. Mclean does in the
democratic party. Judge Nash's friends
pooh-pooh the suggestion. but there is un-
doubtedly some friction in the party on
the subject of a second term for him, and
some trouble may come of il at the state
convention. or later.
Judge Taft has been mentioned in con-
nection with his party's next presidential
nomination. He has so far had success
with some very difficult business In the
Evening star., 1901-05-14

There were people who expected that
whrn the Cuban commissioners returned
h"Inr they would make immediate report
I" the convention in favor of the Platt
amendment. and secure action at the first
sitting of that body. Those people are of
course disappointed. Things have not gone
forward quite so rapidly as that But was
IT advisable that they should? Has any
thing been lost by the procedure adopted?
fl is known that the commissioners were
Tauch enlightened by their visit. They came
"ith many misgivings as to the scope of
IN" Platt amendment. and of the opinion
ttat 1t was hard in its terms They left
With no miSgivings at all. and very much
impressed with their reception and the
pains taken to make everything clear to
Jhem. They are now in favor of the ar
rangements proposed by the United States
and the convention is so advised but wise
iy enough probably. they not attempt
ing Ia hurry their colleagues into accept
snce Of their revised opinions.
AS The Star stated several weeks ago
'he American people are themselves a little
wiser on this same subject than they were
at the time the Platt amendment was
Passed by Congress. This fuller knowledge
has not changed their views as to the wis
dom of that action. for the amendment
still represents their positive convictions as
:" what is necessary to bring Cuba and
the United States as independent powers
iEto workable relations of mutual advan-
tage. But they understand now as they
did not then, that the mistrust of the
tUDans has been fed and encouraged by
