upon to decide the question whether COM
mission appointed to examine and report
upon one section of Il land grant railway, can,

ton of an additional twenty mile section at
the request of the company, but without
being commissioned to do So and has made a
report on both sections to the Interior de-
partment. The question for the acting secre-
tary TO decide was whether the additional re-
port should be accepted. lie has declined to
accept it, at least for the present. lie says
he cnn lind precedent for the action of the
commission, and that, although the irregular
ity in the report might be rcmedied by chang
iuE the commission so as to make it cover the
forty miles, he prefers not to take the re-
sponsbility of such an act, especially as there
il no necessity for immediate action, and the
President and secretary Of the interior will
be in Washington in a few days.

An Outpnl Eater.

A pitiable spectasle was witnessed in one
of the + street eating establishments yester-
day evening. A woman, about so years of
age was sitting at one of the tables eating
her dinner, meanwhile making horrible
grimaces and shaking like an aspen. She was
an opium eater. Her face, which still bore
traces of former beauty, was shrunken and
pinched, and her eyes, sunk back into her
head, rolled and glared like those of some
wild animal. At times she would cease
eating and spasm would comfort her feat
ures, making her sickening to look at. She
appeared to be cognizant of the attention
she attracted, for look of shame would
come into her face, and with her head bent
down she burst into tears. She finished her
dinner and staggered, rather than walked, out
of the place and disappeared down the street.
