Judge Donohue, OF New York city. has interposed
his authority to prevent the contamination by the
board Of aldermen OF an act which has aroused
universal Indignation in the metropolis. The board
about two weeks ago, voted away, under terms
most favorable to the railroad corporation the
privilege OF laying railroad track along Broadway
Mayor Edison promptly vetoed 1t. but with that dis
regard for popular sentiment which is characters
tic OF New York aldermen they declared their pur-
pose TO pass the charter over the Veto The prfvl-
lege which the board proposed to give away so far
as the city treasury was concerned, would readily
sell for million dollars. Judge Donohue has
granted an injunction, restraining the board from
passing the charter. The aldermen VIII scarcely
have the hardihOOd, in view OF the experience OF
Brooklyn aldermen some time ago, 10 ignore Or
defy the writ In their greed TO get the pay indi-
Vdtlally promised them for privilege. which the
people protested against, the Brooklyn city fathers
defed the court and they had TO serve term in
Jail forit

Mr. Vest said they had little sporadic control
OF the senate and house for about three months:
Mr.. hdmunds (sotto voce). Which they VIII
probably never have again.
Mr. Vest inquired what they could have done
in the house.
Mr.. Hawloy remarked that that was what the

Mr.. Vest. The senate and the president had
been republican
Mr.. Beck said that II Mr.. Hale were to go into
the details of the naval expenditures OF the last
twenty years he [Mr. Beckl could by the official
records prove rottenness and corruption in tho
administration of the funds.
Mr.. Edmunds stated that he had been much In
terested in the accounts given in the Senate of the
tlourlshinR condition Of the navy before the war.
He read letter from James Buchanan, dated
September, 1858. addressed to Hon. Henry A. Wise,
OF Virginia, in which he said we Americans
boasted much Of our navy, hut what was 1t in

Suppose those powers should determine to pre-
vent from interfering In Cuba, in case the time
had the naval power 10 carry out their determine
command our own coast. Mr. Buchanan further
recommended that part of the surplus In the
treasury should be expended in constructing a
navy.
Mr. Edmunds said that was all the senate
wanted to do. Mr.. Buchanan had also expressed
the conviction that the work had better be put

was what was proposed in this instance.

APAssENGER,s STORY.
How the Cowboy Prevented the Loss Of
Hla Herd OF Cattle.

Hls Herd OF Cattle.
Chicago Herald.
"one Of the slickest things saw in my
travels" said a passenger from the west, was
cowboy stopping cattle stampede. A herd
Of about six or eight hundred had got fright
oned at something and broke away pell-moll,
with their tails in the air and the bulls at the
head of the procession. But Mr.. Cowboy didn't
get excited at all when he saw the herd was
going straight for q high bluff where they
would certainly tumble down into tho canyon
and be killed. You know that when herd like
that gets to going they can't stop, no matter
whether they rush to death or not. Those in
the rear crowd those ahead, and away they
20. / wouldn't have given dollar head for
that herd but the cowboy spurred up his
mustang, made little detour, came in right
in front of the herd cut across their path at
q right angle and then gallopod leisurely on
to the edge of that bluff, halted and looked
around at that wild mass of beef coming
right toward him. He was as cool as a
cucumber, though / expected to SEQ him
killed, and was so excited could not speak.
Well, sir, when the leaders had got within
about quarter of mile Of him l saw them
try to slack up, though they could not do
{it very quick. But the whole herd seemed
TO want to stop, and when the cows and
steers In the rear got about where the cowboy
had cut across their path was surprised to
SEQ them stop and commence to nibble at the
grass. Then the whole herd stopped, wheeled,
struggled back, and went to fighting for q
chance to eat where the rear guard was. You
see, that cowboy had opened big bag of salt
he had brought out from the ranch to give
the cattle, galloped across tho herds course
and emptied tho bag. Every critter sniffed
that line of salt, and, of course, that broke up
the stampede. But tell you 1t was queer
sight TO see that cuss out there on tho edge of
that bluff quietly rolling cigarette, whom it
seemed as II he'd be lying under 200 tons Of
beef in about minute and half"
