ln the council yesterday Alderman Wells introduced an amendment to the present ordinance in relation to the cleaning of alleys. He desires to amend section 52 of chapter 16 of the revised ordinances, to rend as follows: "It shall be unlawful for any one to throw, sweep, deposit, carry or cause the same to be done, by himself or any person in his employ, into any street or alley, and not remove the same within twenty-four hours, any puper, rags, trimmings, shavings, hair, manure, ashes or rubbish of any kind." As the ordinance now stands, refuse must, be removed from alleys immediately. The amendment Introduced by Alderman Wells created no interest, and was scarcely noticed until it had passed third reading and was about to be adopted. Then Mr, Bourdman came into the council room, and at once sailed the council's attention to the fact that if the amend-men was adopted it would be impossible to keep the alleys clean. He said If refuse could be kept in the alleys twenty-four hours it could be kept there continuously.

In practice. Alderman Wells dissented from this, and asked if Mr. Boardman had not allowed people to build racks, and put manure ln for several weeks, Mr. Boardman said he had not, but he refused to be catechised as if he were on the witness stand. The ordinance was laid over until next meeting.

Those invited wit I a imrriirii'iiii e.r Willie Collier, a comedian who has not been heard In Des Moines in many years. presented "The Man From Mexico" at Foster's last night. A fair-sized audier.ee was present and the performance throughout was' thoroughly acceptable, "The Man From Mexloo" la the adaptation of H. A.

author of "My Friend from India," from the French of Gondlnet and Blsson. It Is an exceedingly clever farce, brimful of fun from start to finish. The story is of one Benjamin Fits-hugh, who, while on spree, gets into trouble, Is arrested and la sentenced to thirty days in prison. He wakes up ln his own home tho next morning, and the sheriff comes to piece him behind the bara, To account for his disappearance he tells his wife that he la going to Mexico. In the next act he appears In a eon-vict's striped suit, a little tin cup In one hand and a loaf of bread in the other.

On his release from prison he returns to his home attired In Mexican costume and seeks to Impress his wife and friends, who are assembled in the purlor to greet him, with the knowledge of the Spanish language he has acquired during his sun-posed stay In the Mexican capital. He has a little Spanish dictionary with him, to which he refers when necessary. When his sister-in-law, who has been studying Spanish during his absence, asks him questions In that tongue, his dictionary comes In very handy. "The Man From Mexico" is almot a one-character play, and Benjamin Fitzhugh, played by Mr. Collier, ia nearly all the time on the stage.

That Mr. Collier plays it well goes without saying. He Is an aotor of rare intelligence, with quaintness that is characteristic only of himself. He Is not unlike James T. Powers, though his manner ia more suave and there Ib less Jeiklness in his diction.

The remainder of the cast was made up of fairly competent members. Of these Dan Mason, the German poet, who has evidently studied the dialect of Clay Clement, was the best. Louise Allen, Mr. Collier's wife, played the leading female role In a very creditable way. The Lillian Russell-Delia Fox-Jeff De Angelis combination comes to Foster's tonight.

Hew Newabojr Cane Into Poteeeelon of a Corner. Buffalo Express: "Dere's no guy what can peddle papers en me corner, Jedge, 'a' dat's all tre is about It," said John McCarthy, newsboy, to Judge Hlnson, In the municipal court, yesterday afternoon. "Dat's me corner fer seveu years," continued McCarthy, I ocii It 'n' anybody that peddles dcre besides meself'll get dere 'n' McCarthy don't low no crap-shootln dere, neiler. And then the defiant McCarthy doubled up his grimy knuckles and looked fero cious, while Judge Hinsnn opened his eyes wide with astonishment. The trouble was that IricCarthy and a little Italian boy, a brand-new recruit in the ranks of newsboys, had had a mix-up because the Italian insisted on selling papers on McCarthy's corner.

McCarthy's corner, as he calls it, is at the northwest end of Ellicott square. It's an envied stand, too, second to none, unless It Is tho Junction of Niagara and Main streets, where Moxie and his assistants monopolize the business, McCarthy catches, a large per cent of tho tenants of Ellicott square and the men who find it neceesary to visit the building on buslneax. Aa he told Judge Hlnson yesterday, he had held that corner against all comers for Beven years, and Is as well known to business men as the bigitest bank president on the bloc. McCarthy Ib a hustler. Yesterday afternoon thn new Italian newsboy got his first bundle of papers, and started out to make a fortune.

But he found be had reached he diggings a little too late, livery claim wan pay uirt In It had been taken. Every time he opened his mouth to cry his papers some veteran newsboy pounced upon him and drove him away. The little Italian went all along the linn only to get under the "Iron heel" of monopoly everywhere. He waa pushed and Jostled and kicked and cursed from the Tlfft House down to Niagara Btreet. where Moxie got hold of him and gave him some gutd advice about the danxers of encroaching upon the territory of other newsboys.

But the Italian boy didn't heed him. In atead, he crossed over to Mct'arthy'a corner and took up his stand there. McCar thy, always on tho alert and Jealous of his Btamping grounu, pounceu upon 111 ill in a twinkling.

It begun to look aa If he would have to make a stand for hi rlRhls some time, and he reasoned that that critical period had arrived. So he refused to move. McCarthy was too busy to argus the matter, no he nailed Into the Italian for the evident purpose of rendering him physically Incapable of either moving away or selling any paper. And as McCarthy had had this kind of a Job on hi hands many times before, lie undoubtedly would have succeeded In hi efforts had It not been for the Interference of I'atrulmnn Alfred lllgley.

The Italian, glad of the opportunity, Immediately quitted tho spot and the otticer took McCarthy over to Judge Hlnson. "I don't pay no taxes, Yer Honor; but dat'B me corner all samee."

One of the largest retail firms of the city Is now contemplating the purchase of a tract of ground on Locust street upon which, if the deal is made, will be erected a mammoth business establishment.

This would change the business map of Des Moines completely. As It now is, the real busi ness of the city is congested practically on lower Walnut street. So much so, in fact, that the growing institutions deslr- Ins to enlarge their quarters nnd it iniuos sible to get additional frontage. If the Locust Btreet deal outlined Is carried through, it will mean the beginning of the expansion of the retail business district north and west of Walnut street. MANY HISSES FOR SENOR CANALEJAS Spaniards Do Not Like Hit Attacks on Gen, Wtyler Segura Says Cuba I Lost.

Havana, Jan. 6. via Key West, Fla. Senor Canalejas was coldly received at Santiago-de-Cuba. The Spanish casino refused to tender him a banquet, and he was hissed on the street.

It Is un derstood that the position taken Is due to the fact that he is the editor of El Heraldo de Madrid, which has violently attacked General Weyler. It Is reported that his Impressions regarding Cuba are pessimistic and that he will advise the Spanish government to abandon the island. Today General Blanco, General Par rado and General Pando called upon General Segura to try to Induce him to remain in the Island. He refused. He does not wish to be responsible, he de clares, for the future development of the "disgraceful Spanish rule in Cuba." General Segura Is an Intelligent and honest fighter, and Is wholly disgusted with General Pando's method of campaign.

He says that ln his opinion Cuba is lost to Spain unless the government sends Ger.sral Polavleja or re turns General Weyler. The latter, he considers out of the question, because General Weyler was relieved of his command at the request of washing ton. General Polavleja he holds ln high esteem, believing that this officer could end the war If an extermination policy were adopted. General Segura also be lleves war Inevitable between Spain and the United States, and the pretext for It will be the filibustering expedl tlons. The Insurgents are carrying out the orders of General Maximo Gomez not to allow grinding, and they set fire to the caneflelds vherever possible, from one end of the Island to the other.

General Pando's campaign along the Cauto river was a total failure. General Molina will probably soon return to Spain. The local conservative press comments editorially upon the circumstances of swearing In the new colonial ministry. The company that assembled to witness the function was small and very cold, and there were no crowds In front of the capltol as usual. The new cabinet hesitates to remove the existing officeholders, who are acquainted with the work of the departments and to substitute Inexpert new officials.

More than this, among the old employes are many Cubans. Consul General Lee today called up on General Blanco with regard to th distribution of food and relief to the reconcentradoes ln the province of Santiago-de-Cuba. PEARY HAS A tOMPETITOR, Captain Sverdrup Will Explore the North Coast ol Greenland. New York, Jan. 5.

A dispatch to the Tribune from Louisville says: No matter what controversies arise, Cantaln Sverdrup. Dr. Nansen's Nor wegian navlgJftor, who directed the perilous course of the Fram during the explorer's last expedition, will lead an exploring party to the frozon north next summer. The authority for this state ment is Dr. Nansen himself, who lec tured ln Louisville tonight.

Dr. Nansen further said that Captain Sverdrup would make no attempt to reach the north pole, but would devote all his time to scientific observations along the coast of Greenland. As he did not know or Lieutenant Peary's Intentions while forming his own plans, Dr. Nansen does not believe It would be an act or discourtesy for Captain Sverdrup to persist ln carrying out his scheme, and inasmuch, as Dr. Nansen is convinced that ror.

celved the plan at least as early as Peary, Prosperity comes quickest to the man whose liver is in good condition. De-Wltt's Little Early Risers are famous little pills for constipation, biliousness. Indigestion and all stgmach and liver troubles. The New York Legislature. Albany, N.
