oNE-sIDED REPORT MADE
ON THE PRINTING CONTRACTS

pierre. S. D.-The c%ontractin:
printers here are not feeling very
we'll pleased over the report of the
Investigating committee as present
ed to the two houses today and the
probabilities are that there will be
a contest on the floor OF n house
or the other when it comes up for
adoption. They declare that the
findings of the committee are not
warranted by the testimony, and tina
there has been an attempt to push
upon them things which they nevel
did, and which there is no testimony
to back up in the record. The fac
which was developed in the hear
ings that much of the contract work
comes to the printers in such shape
that they are lucky to get out with
out losing money is not allowed q
place in the report, and the only mat
ters touched upon specially are the
few items in which there vas a large
profit TO them which was a balance
for some OF the other conditions
which they had to meet. 1t is also
alleged in the report that the con
tractors admitted collusive bids
which is denied by them, and they
say there is nothing in the testimony
to warrant this. The whole matter is
likely TO make a stir on the floor.
The committee on investigation of
double salaries is meeting II call
ing witnesses, and while there is none
OF the show in regard to their work
rs there is in the work of some of the
other investigating committees, they
will no doubt bring in a report Gov

iUI FOR YEARS TO COME

That the government of Mexico
will be doubtful for years to come
and that amy government which ma,
be established in that country will be
subject TO numerous revolts, is the
opinion of Mayor A. e. Hitchcock, o.
this city who returned last night from
a visit TO cuba and Yucatan.
"lhe main cause of the INSTABILITY
OF the Mexican government is the
lack OF a national sentiment on the
part OF the people in a popular GOV

the only successful government that
can exist down there is one which
viii be controlled by a despot and
yet have the progressive qualities of
Madero."
The MAYOR states that he bases
these ideas on his own observations
while in Mexico by interviews With
prominent citizens OF the country
and by the reading of literature writ
ten by people who know the country
we'll.
Mr.. Hitchcock arrived home last
night after a very successful journey
during which he visited Havana.

Gucatan. He describes the latter
place as a city OF between fifty and
sixty thousand with all modern I'M
good paving, and fine
buildings. He declares that Yucatan
IS a peaceful prosperous country and
is but little touched by the turmoil
going ON in other parts of Mexico.
Mrs. Hitchcock accompanied her hus-
band on the trip but remained in
ON the return journey and
visit relatives there for a few
days before coming ON home.
The mayor reports that while pass
ing through the streets of Havana on
February 3, he accidently met Mr..
and Mrs. A. b. Seaton and Mr.. and
Mrs. F. A. Bidwell of this city who
nave spent some time there. He stat
