mKEEvER LETS OUT A ROAR.
Objects to Employment Of His
CoIored Opponent

Another partisan and personal fight
has cropped out OF the granting a door
keeper to the minority caucus. The fu
sionists chose p. c. Thomas, a colored
editor of this city, who was a candidate
against E. D. 1dcKeever in the Thirty
ninth district last fall, for place that
was granted to them.
Thomas is particularly offensive to Ed
McKeever. because he opposed McKeev-
er's candidacy most vigorously in the
campaign and circulated imfiammatory
pamphlets rejecting upon McKeever-
A resolution was accordingly intro
duced in the house this morning to re-
consider the resolution of the previous
day that created the Office. Belts, Of
Shawnee, introduced the resolution fer
McHeever, who is in the chair pro tenn.
The resolution went over under the
rules and the minority will retain its
doOrlzeeper a day or so longer at any
rate.

STATE PRINTERS SIDE LINE
Mr. Mason Plans to Stop Undersell-
ing the State.

In order to protect the states monopoly
on reports and other publications printed
for it, Mr.. Mason of Finney sprung bill
in the house this morning that aims to
clip a. profitable side line run by the state
printer.
The bill seeks to make it unlawful for
the state printer to sell, barter or give
away state publications.
The intent of the bin is clear. The state
librarian has thousands of published vol
umes on his hands that he can't get rid
of. This is especially true of supreme
court reports, of which the state receives
1000 of each issue.l The librarian gets
them on his hands. put them in the vaults
and there they stay for the most part
prints an edition of his own on the side,
underselling the state, and supplies the
lawyers and book dealers of the state.

formally seized in this city ST. 800 worth Of

country by Antonio Ansenias without

leaving a steamer of the Hamburg-Amer-
lean line at Hoboken. He was not ar
rested. but the diamonds viii be held
pending a decision by the treasury de-
partment as TO whether he is guilty Of
smuggling.
His defense is that he is a Cuban mer-
chant and that he IS merely passing
through this country on his way to Cuba
The diamonds were concealed in pockets
OF q. large belt which he had around his
body and were accidentally discovered
BY a customs inspector who happened TO

AMERICANS WELCOME.
Lcndcners Don't Care If They Buy
All the Street Car Lines

New York. Jan. 1S.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The details Of the purchase Of the
Baker street and Waterloo railway by
syndicate of Chicago and Cleveland
capitalists headed by Congressman
johnson are drawn mainly from outsid-
ers who have refused to buy the project
ed line and are not trustworthy The
property has evidently been haWked
about and the transactions are not
closed. The passage Of a second metro
polltan transit scheme under the con-
troll Of American capitalists is regarded
with indifference by investors here. The
transit problem is so complex and the
cost OF construction of the various deep
level enterprises is SO heavy that the
assistance OF American engineers and
capitalists is welcomed. While the
metropolitan and district railways have
Ceen driven by competition to substitute
electric traction for steam it is not vet
certain that the operation Of electric rail-
ways at deep levels is profitable, or that
radical changes in the system of hauling
trains may not be requisite. The trac-
fton system, both the Central London
and Waterloo and City may be cOnsid-
cred tentative, since the strain upon
rolling stock and permanent way IS ex-
cesstve, and the expense Of repairs from
wear and tear unusually heavy. Eng
atsn investors are not vet convinced that
electric railways are good paying prop
critics and are willing to have American Z,
capitalists take as large a share of the
risks as they like
-----ON5A -~-AS4A1L PUBIC opinion IS
steadily veering round toward the view
taken In America on the Ntcarag qua
canal question, there is no getting away
from the fact that Senator Morgan's
proposals are not relished in this coun-
try. The Post admits the value of the
1nteroceanic canal for the commerce OF
the United States and thinks that the
matter might have been arranged long
ago, as foreign countries would readily
concede toAmerica q. predominant voice
in the settlement OF the question. This
paper, however, which caterers especially
Tor the aI1stocratic classes, finds fault
with the American system OF dealing
with International questions.
