Interstate COmmerce-A Substitute for the Reagan BilI-Its Provisions.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The Committee on Commerce, by vote of nine to six, adopted to-day with amendments substitute for the Reagan Interstate Commerce bill, and voted to report it to the House. The substitute was drawn up by MT. Henderson, of Illinois. and provides for @ board of commissioners with powers and duties similar to those pro- posed by the McCoid bill and the "Charles Francis Adams plan" One of MT. Bliss amendments. extends the juris diction of the Commissioners over "the trans portation of all property by railroad from one State or Territory into or through one or more other States or Territories or to or from any foreign country, whether such property be carried by one railroad or by several rail roads running in connection with each other, and whether such commerce be carried on roads lying wholly within one State or more." Another amendment, adopted on motion of MT. Bliss, requires the commission to 'sinquire into that method of railroad management known as pooling, and state the result of their inquiry in their first annual report, and wheth- CT in their judgment any, and if so what, leg islation is expedient in relation thereto"

The POnca IndiRns-H0w They Were Deceived.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-At the meeting of Senator Kirkwood's special committee investi- gating the removal of the Cheyennes and Pon- cas, Bright Eyes was examined to day with re- gard to her knowledge of the causes leading to the removal of the Poncas and their condition in the Indian Territory. Her attention was called by Senator Morgan to paper purport- ing to be signed by the heads of nearly all the Ponca families, requesting the President to remove their tribe to 8 new reservation in the Indian Territory. Bright Eyes exclaimed: :: ''Why, White Eagle has told me dozen times he never signed any such paperl Why, that is monstrous ]" Standing Bear was then shown the paper. He read it over, smiled incredu- lously, made gestures of disgust, accompanied by expressive "Ughs," and finally said, That's the white mans way; they write one thing and tell us another" He then volubly ex- plained the circumstances attending the sign ing by the Council of Chiefs of paper sup posed by them to be 8 refusal to leave their reservation, the facts regarding which gre fa- miliar. The investigation will proceed to- morrow.
 Matters Considered by the Cabinet
 WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.-At a Cabinet meet ing this afternoon there was some discussion over the 8 per cont. retunding bill, which the Ways and Means Committee have decided to report to the House. There was no con- clusion reached, as it was only an interchange of opinion on the advisability of the meas ure. The question of the retention of cer- tain letters addressed to parties in Brooklyn, coming from Belgium and supposed to con- tain money. .fraudulently obtained there, were also considered. It was decided that the postmaster at Brooklyn had no right to stop the letters, provided the party to whom they were addressed called for them and was prop erly identified. The parties interested will have to take legal steps if they wish to recov- CT the money.

Desperate Struggle With a Bear.


 BUsHvnLH, Feb. 13.-OId man Sheldon has no companions, and his lonely cave is several miles from any house in the midst of 8 forest. He has no weapon save knife which he manufactured by rubbing an old file on a stone until it became sharp. A few days ago the hermit went out in search of frewood, and was absent from the cave about an hour. When he returned he was amazed to see Q large black bear crouching in one corner of his underground abode. Before he could get out of the cave, however, the bear sprang toward him. dealing him hard blow on the shoulder. Sheldon drew his knife and struck bruin in the neck, but the wound only infu- riated the beast. He again attempted to re- treat but the bear renewed the attack. The hermit then endeavored to deal him another blow in the neck with the knife, but the weapon glanced and severed one of the an imaI's paws. Sheldon succeeded in getting out of the cave, where the struggle was re- newsd, and the bear getting him in his en- brace and nearly hugging the breath ont of him; but the old man was plucky, and drove the knife into the monsters heart, killing him instantly. AS the bear fell dead, Sheldon tainted and was found unconscious, several hours later, by g party who had set out from the village to visit his cave.

Sliding a Railroad Down Hfll-A Dis
 astrOus Engineering Feat.
 O1L CrTY, Feb. 13.-Several years ago spec ulators built railroad from the.foot of one of the high hills which overlook this city, to the long and at an angle of 45 degrees. Cars were hauled up and let down it by means of sta tionary engine. The road was abandoned two years ago. Last week the rails and machinery were sold. The rails were fastened together at each end and formed unbroken lines of iron from top to bottom of the hill. The plan of moving one line of rails entire down the hill and taking the rails apart as it moved down, was adopted Several bottom rails of one line were taken of, and then rope was made fast to the lower end, which was then about 100 feet from the bottom, and horses were at tached. The ties were covered with ice. The string of rails were started, but as soon as it moved from it's position it began to slide. Be- fore it reached the bottom it was going at a high rate of speed. When it struck the street the line of rails broke it's connection at several places, and rails were thrown in every direction, some being hurled distance of 300 feet. About 200 feet of the string, however. dashed across the street, and struck barn on Henry Oase's lot. It passed through like stroke of lightning and, with it's impe- tus only slightly decreased, glided across Case's garden, just missing the dwelling house, and demolishing an outhouse that stood in it's path. From Cases garden it dashed into the back yard of St. James Hotel, and plunged against 8 stone wall. This knocked several of the rails loose. These were hurled into an adjoining yard, which they plowed up for 50 feet and then came to stop. The other part of the line was thrown high in the air, and struck chimney on the hotel, which it completely demolished. From the roof of the hotel the iron Ieaped still higher, and landed on the roof of three story building 50 feet away. This roof it tore up for long distance. and coming in contact with chimney, partially demolished that. The force of the flying iron was then spent aud the rails remained lying on the roof of the last building.

THE GRANT "BOOM.,

The average man is so constituted in
this world as TO be able to stand 4 good
deal, but there are some things that, al
ter while, become uncomfortable. In
contemplating the political outlook, and
in weighing the Presidential probabili-
ties, there is perhaps no more in,Olera.
ble bore than the phenomenon known
as the Grant "bOOm.' To any one IA.
miliar with all the facts in Grants lIto
and character, such a thing seems amaz.
ing. To us it did seem impossible al
most to guage the depths of this wide
spread, popular delusion. But with this,
as with many other perplexing prob
lens, time has at length revealed tho
why's and wherefores.
There is large body of restless and
energetic politicians, of the baser sort,
who liked the administration OF Ulysses.
not only because it was congenial 10
them, but also profitable; and they
know that if he comes in tor another
four years, there will be retura of tho
good old times when tney had chance
at the spoils. 1t is manifestly to their
interest therefore, to keep the thing
bouncing while they can. They know
that if it is allowed TO cool,a all, it will
freeze up However it is astonishing
wha, an effect, when coupled with the
noise made over Grant, in Europe, this
booming had on the popular imagina-
ton. II the Republican convention had
taken place when this fever was at its
height, he would have been nominated
by acclamat:on. But when the sober
minded Republicans remembered how
their party lost its hold on power, dur
ing, and as a consequence Of Grants
administration, they grew thoughtful,
and the "boom' began TO weaken. And
if we read the signs of the times Alright,
it is still continuing 10 weaken. Tho
reasons for intelligent, thoughtful people
not wanting Graut, are obvious 10 all
who want TO understand them. lie has
never shown any sort of capacity for
civil administration whatever lie has
shown contempt for the popular will.
lie has disgraced the administration of
the Government, by placing, wherever
he could, in positions of trust, n lot OF
relatives and personal friends, who hayo
shown themselves 10 be utterly uDscrL-
pulous and bad men. He frequently
violated the laws he had sworn 10 ad.
minister. He has used his official pa.
sition 10 shield crime aud obstruct tho
proceedings of the courts in the admin
is.ration of justice.
These arc but few of the reasons
why we cannot afford 10 have Grantism
thrus. upon us again. Shonld he DO
nominated, nothing but an attrociously
bad nomination by the Democrats, will
secure his election. The files of the Re-
publican newspapers and extracts from
the speeches OF prominent Republicans,
between 1872 and 1876, will furnish tho
most damaging material that we could
desire.
In short, Grants "trainers" may trot
him around the circles as galy capari-
soned as they please, but when the cess.
pool of bis former administrations is un.
covered, it will exhalc sterch that will
we hope, relegate him to tho limbo
of Presidential "dead beats"
