WILL HAVE COMPETITION.
Kansas City Firm to Make Cast Iron
Curbing.

The iron of Topeka are pre-
pairing to compete for a share or the
business of making cast iron curbing,
which has so far been done exclusively
by the Capital City Iron Works The
other iron ~foundries think that cast
iron curbing is not a pa~tentable inven-
ton. as has been claimed. They VIII
also try to get some of the cast IRON
crossing plate contracts.
In order to do this, they will chal-
lenge the validity of certain petitions
now before the committee on streets
and walks. Some of these petitions
specify hat the curbing shall be Cap
ital Iron Works cast iron curbing-1 1t
is claimed that this proviso limits the
bidding to one firm. and is contrary to
law.
At the meeting of h streets and
walks committee Friday afternoon, the
will be asked to strike out
street paving petition, and from all 9TH
er petitions wherein this appears Ii
the committee will do this, and leave
the competition pen to any n
the people who are objecting will be
satisfied. Otherwise they say that the
petition will be invalid, and the pro-
posed paving can be stopped by inJunc-
ton. There are plenty of people VINO
do not want the pavement, and who
will be glad of a chance to block 1t with
an injunction
Under the schedule of prices fixed by
the CAPITAL Iron Works, cast iron curb
ing costs SIS cents and cast iron cross
ing plates cost $3.50. The other foun-
dries threaten to cut down these figures
very materially.

Eighth Avenue Paving Is Still
Causing Trouble.
Council Committee Now Think
They We're Fooled.
OWNERS ~DISGUSTED.
War of Paving Contractors Has
Been Embarrassing.
City Fathers Will Make One
More Effort toFix Things.

Notice has been served on the council
committee on streets and walks that if
the committee refuses to consider the
petitions for the paving of East Eighth
avenue. which are nof on file, the whole
project of paving that street will be
abandoned. It is claimed that the peo-
pie on that street have been so tumbled
about In their minds by the rival paw
ing contractors. with their conflicting
petitions and protests, tha most of
them are ready to have the whole thing
Knocked out rather than sign any more
petitions.
1t is likely that the will re-
treat from it's first position in the mat
ter, which was that a new petition
would nave to be presented in place of
the four or five petitions and protests
which are 10 on file.
The committee claims that facts were
misrepresented to it by a clever Jug
Cling of figures, and it was made to
believe that enough names had been
withdrawn from the original petition to
break the majority. The way it was
done was as follows:
The original petition had a majority
OF about 500 feet of the property on the
street. The opponents of the petition
proved that $50 feet represented on the
petition had no right to sign for or
away all the majority, and leaves the
petition so feet shy" is the way they
put the proposition to the committee,
and h committee belieYed it. 1t is evil
dent, however, that tie $50 feet which
had no right to sign the petition ought
to be subtracted from the total number
of feet in the proposed strip of paving
instead of from the majority. This be-
ing done, it shows that the petition still
has a small majority of the total num-
Der of feet liable for the cost of the
paving.
In view of this fact. and because of
several other things of similar charac-
ter, the committee on streets and walks
will probably again take up the matter,
and try to reconcile the apparently con-
ficting desires of the people on the
street as shown by the various petit
lions and protests.

GERMaNY'S CLAIM.
Will Have Something to Say
About Nicaragua Canal.

New York. Dec. ia special to the
Herald from Washington. says:
1t is learned that Germany expects to
have something to say about the Mica
ragua canal because of the interests of
a German corporation in a concession
that will be interfered with and posi-
bly, destroyed by this construction. This
interest has been obtained through the
purchase by the Hamburg-American
Steamship company of the Atlas Steam
ship The former is a German
corporation and the latter is British.
The neutrality-suspicious. company is
subsidized by the German
and its ships can be called upon for
auxiliary cruisers of the German navy
in time of war.
Under the concession from Nicaragua
which the Hamburg-American line has
acquired, it is asserted by foreign diplO-
mats here, exclusive navigation rights
of the San uan river and of Lake
Nicaragua are secured to the German
The history of the concession before
it came into German hands dates from
before 1877.
A company organized under the name
of the Nicaragua Mail Steam Naviga-
ton and Trading company. a British
company, amin a line of steamers
from New York to Greytown and other
ports In the Caribbean, bought the
plant and concession of the
Nicaragua and applied for an
extension and enlargement of the con-
tract. This was granted by Nicaragua
in June, 1897, and the contracts thus OBJ
tanned were transferred to the Carib-
bean & Pacific Transit The
contract gave to the Atlas Steamship
company the exclusive right of steam
navigation in the Silaco lagoon for thir-
ty years, dating from the approval of
the contract on September 30, 1897. and
the exclusive right for the same time
in constructing tramways and railways
along the line to avoid the obstacles in
the lower part of the San Juan river,
making the transit to a Juan Del
Norte, or Greytown, more rapid during
the dry season
The company obligated itself to con-
struct within three years a narrow
gauge railroad about five miles long,
from a point on the Silaco lagoon to a
point on the San Juan river near the
Colorado junction, and suitable ware
houses and wharves at the terminals
for passenger, freight and other service.
This road is now in operation.
This concession with all the property
of the Atlas Steamship was
purchased recently by the Hamburg
American line.
