SENATORS m.DONALD
Has q Brief Interview with Jay Gould,
and Tells Him 10 Leave His Room.

Washington Correspondence Chicago Times |
1t is Judge Thurman's intention at an
early day to press the consideration of his
bill forcing the Union Pacific railroad to
give the government good security for its
Indebtedness. Under the ruling of the
supreme court the interest is not due until
the maturity OF the bonds. When this time
comes it is folly to suppose that the govern
ment Will ever realize the enormous sum
that will be due at that period, for the
reason that the accum ulated interest and
amount of principal will aggregate a much
larger sum than the entire read and its prop
critics are worth. The Union Pacific railroad
company, after having had the use of the
road and its immense profits for years,
would throw up the road to the government
rather than pay their indebtedness
Jay Gould Is understood TO be close press
ed in carrying the stock of this road, and he
is here watching very closely any legislation
looking toward forcing the road to pay its
dues to the government. ANY such result
would undoubtedly depress the stock, and
possibly prove his ruin. He has been a sue
cessful operator with the legislature at
Albany, and he has transferred his Albany
tactics here. His mode is 10 come directly
to his men, and employ no third party or
agents.
Senator Mcdonald. who is member of
the judiciary committee, before which the
legislation on the subject of the Union
Pacific is pending. went to his room the
other day, and he discovered little man in
black curled up in his most com Portable
easy chair before the open CRATE. The
little, keen, black whiskered, darkly attired
visitor arose with a mOnchalant air when
Senator Mcdonald entered, and said
You are Senator Mcdonald, / pre-
sume?''
Yes" said Mcdonald.
"My name is Jaw Gould of New York -
said the visitor.
"Ahi" was the reply.
"Yoa are member of the senate judiciary
committee, are you notr'
''I am" said Mcdonald.
"Ihave very heavy interests pending before
your committee. said Gould, with great
emphasis upon the word heavy" And
then with sinister grin he added: II have
come to see you about Them" slowly and
carefully emphasizing the word ''see," as be
looked Mcdonald straight in the face.
Gould's manner put Mcdonald upon his
guard at once. He arose and said in a frig-
idly cold tone of voice, "Mr. Gould, you can
not see or talk to me upon the subject oil
Union Pacific interests except in the Judi
ciary committee room and before the com
mittee"
Gould laughed in reply, in sort of con
temptuOus way, as if he had no faith in
McDonald's protestations, and began in a
wheedling way, after the fashion of the old
gentleman in black, to talk about his inter
ests, how much they were involved, when
Mcdonald put an end to the conversation
by putting on his hat and coat as he said
Mr. Gould, L am going out of this room.
shall rot listen to you, aud think you had
better go. too" This ended the converse
ton, as Gould saw that Mcdonald was il

At SchooIfn Russia.

Every city In the Russian empire has its
lyceum and every town its grammar school.
In the lyceum French and German are
taught; in the grammar schools, German
sometimes but not always. English can be
learned only at St. Petersburg, Moscow and
Odessa, except by private tuition. The
charges for maintaining a boy as boarder
vary from $500 to $780, and at the aristocratic
military school OF st. Petersburg extras gen.
orally bring the sum up to 81 $50 Russian
boys sleep in dormitories, and it is only
within the last Is years that they have
been allowed bedding Formerly they
curled themselves up in rugs and lay down
on wooden cots. Possibly this practice still
prevails in some of the inland schools
Their fare is the eternal cabbage soup, with
beef; and tea. with bread. but no butter.
They wear uniform-a tunic in summer,
and in winter a caftan, like au ulster coat
with the number OF their class embroidered
on their collar. Their heads are cropped
close, and they walk upright as ramrods for
the most thorough part of their education
consists in drill. They are usually quiet
boys, very outspoken, and not much
addicted to romping having no national
game beyond that of leap frog, which
they play in a large, empty room, warmed
like hot house. They spend their pocket
money in cigarettes and in sweetened rum
TO put into their tea. These delicacies are
forbidden, but can always be had of the
school porter for little overcharge. There
the present car abolished the birch by
special ukase; bat discipline could scarcely
be maintained among the Russians without
cutting, SO the professor cuffs his scholars,
and they cuff one another with national
heartiness.

young lady gave a lunch party to fifty
girls. An invitation was sent to the young
ladies at the white house and to Miss Ella
Sherman. An acceptance or regret is
always expected to such invitations. No
such response was received. nor did the
ladies attend. 1t is not yet known what did
become of those invitations But the great
est misfortune happened to Senator Blaine
and his wife. The senator was suffering
from an acute attack of govt when an invi
tatiOn was received 10 dine with the Russian
minister. An invitation to dine with di
plomat is rs obligatory as an invitation to
the executive mahogany. Mr.. Blaine was as
sisted into his claw hammer, white cboker,
and more painful than all, his neatly fitting
public man can not succumb to govt when
duty demands martyrdom. Mr.. and Mrs.
Blaine drove to the legation and painfully
assembled the long terraced steps from the
sidewalk to the door of the house, which is
one that the board OF public works left II
feet above its original level. The mansion
was dark, and in answer to a ring of the bell
a servant without gloves opened the door,
The guests observed that there were no
lights or evidences of an expected feast and
learned to their disgust that they had antici-
pated their invitation by week. 1t is use
less to state the feelings OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Blaine, but as they alone were responsible
for the mistake, they quickly telegraphed to
the coachman not TO drive off They
returned home 1t was Saturday evening
and no dinner had been ordered. The
chlldren's dinner was over, and there was
nothing in the larder but the provisions
provided for Sunday. A very slight and
simple repsst was all that could be
improvised to meet the emergency. These
are only a few of the contretemps which are
frequently occurring.
