NEW SHIFT OF THE ALBANY KALEIDOSCOPE.
SEYMOUR AND WEEKES, THE DRO-
MOS OF THE ASSEMBLY.

Albany. March 30 (speciaD-Assemblymen sey-
rnour and Weekes. of New-York, look so much alike
and so often mistaken for each other that they
have come 10 be known the Assembly Dro-
mios." Both almost daily treated experiences
OF mistaken identity. Each is approached and
sometimes repToached by the others constituents.
Mr.. Seymour. for instance. has an "osteopathy
BILL which he is still fondly nursing the Health
Committee. The bill is opposed by many Of the
physicians Of his district. who say that the regu-
latng and legalizing Of osteopathy as provided
in this bin will work harm Accordingly Mr
Neekes is frequently held up by physicians who
reg OF him TO kill his osteopath bin and who will
not even let him go after they told they have
the wrong
Last week Mr.. Weekes busy at his desk
reading letters when of the employees of the
Capitol approached him and handed him a purse
As the eInploye was not wearing his uniform Mr.
NeeEes nrst thought the a lobbyist and in
dignantly spuTned the purse.
But this belongs TO you,' explained the orderly
in a quiet tone OF voice. Mr.. Weekes opened the
purse, looked ar its contents. looked at the or
dcrly, and then shut the purse
How DO you know 81 belongs TO me?" he asked
in the attempt 10 remember II he had really lost
such a purse.

One Of the signs of the rapidly developing
commerce between California and pos
sessions is the increase Of new steamship lines
which have come into existence to meet the sud-
den demand for the transportation Of passen-
gers and freight. One of these is the Oregon
and Oriental Steamship Company. which prom
ises TO make bid for the passenger and freight
traffic between this city and Manila Hong
Kong and Japanese ports. The company is
composed of Portland Ore. capitalists. and it
has two new steamers os large size ready to put
on the run, with three more in reserve. One
great recommendation of the service is that the
steamers will direct to Manila. there being
no transshipment of cargo at Hong Kong, at
present with other lines. The freight rates from
Hong Kong Manila are high so this new
line will get all the Philippine business it can
carry. The first vessel, the Monmouthshire.
which can carry thirty passengers. and is OF
three thousand tons burden, will sail from here
on April 10. Another new steamship line will
soon be established between San Francisco and
Honolulu by the Johnson-LOcke Mercantile
Company. Two new vessels. the Asuncion and
the Paraguay, have just cleared from Baltimore.
and will be placed on the service. Three
other steamers the Eureka, the Tampico and the
Pleiades will be added. All these vessels will
bring coal from Baltimore
President Hays of the Southern Pacific Is full

locomotive builders, who had waited here sew
eral days to see him. The new president has
already had good influence in eApeditng trains
on the Southern Pacific. The policy heretofore
has been not to make up lost time with the re-
suit that nearly every tram arriving here was

these delays. which have been so great an an
