Life of G.. p. Huntington.

G. P. Huntington, the owner Of the
''Sunset route" has the shortest route from
San Francisco to New York. The great
ambition of this man has been to own and
control one continuous route from ocean to
to ocean, and he pretty nearly has it now.
He controls over 500, 600. 000 of money and
stock, but he is not satisfied. A story is
told of Mr.. Huntington from which an es-
innate of the man can be made.
Years ago he kept general store in Sac
ramentO. One day trader came in from a
mining camp to buy stores, and among
other things he wanted butter. Hunting
ton had several tubs, brought from Orange
county, the famous butter producing region
of New York. The miners had all the good
things that mouey could buy, and the store
keeper from the mining camp was bound to
take the best stock he could find.
II want some bang-up BUTTER" was
the way the storekeeper from the camp
signifed his desire.
ssWell," said Huntington, 'shere is some
all the way from York state, the real genu-
inc Orange county article" Huntington
ran the trier down to the bottom of the
tub and the storekeeper ran his nose along
it when it was pulled out.
"What's the tax on that grease?" asked
the storekeeper.
"That's 35 cents pound" replied Hum
tington.
ssHaint you got something leetle better?"
asked the storekeeper.
eyes," said Huntington, going to another
tub of the very same kind of butter. He
knew the storekeeper would not be salts
fed if he did not show him something bet
ter, and he was equal to the occasion.
''Here's some for so cents" said Hunting
ton as he drew the trier out and the store
keepers nose followed it from one end to
the other.
CHOW, that's little like it," said the
storekeeper, 'but, )" he added with awink,
''come now, haint you got somethingthat
the flies wont settle on, that's fur-lined
and hair-topped. There's nothing too good
for us, and we've got the money to pay for
it."
eyes," again said Huntington. Heres
something that we don't bring out" The
trier went down into the third tub of the
same lot, and the storekeeper's nose fol-
lowed the line of butter for the third time.
''How much is she assessed at?" asked
the storekeeper as he looked affectionately
at the butter.
''Sixty-five cents pound"
'You haint got too much of it for me-"
said the StOrekeeper.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, May 9.-Rev. J..
Todd, of the Church of the Redeemer, has
asked to be dismissed from the New Haven
Central association, being dissatisfied with
the associations method of licens-
ing Yale Theological students for the

to the admission of applicants who deny,
according to DR.. Todd's opinion, many
fundamental truths of the gospel.

uous Russian propaganda. They promise
the people that if Ayoub is restored to
power the Russians will guarantee them in
dependence and freedom from the tributes
now levied by Abdurrahman. Friends of
Abdurrahman, at Samarcand, have warned
him that the advance of the British, beyond
Quetta, would be the signal for general
revolt of BalkhS in favor of Arjoub. This
move, they assure him, would at once re-
ceive material assistance from Russia.
These adviceS and others of a similar nature
clearly indicate an advance of the British
beyond Candahar would probably be I'M
possible without engaging in
COMBAT WITH THE AFGHANS.
The probability of resistance on the part
of their supposed allies makes the problem
of possible advance through Afghanistan
more serious than has hitherto been calcu-
lated upon.
Earl Dufferin's report of the Afghan sit
uation is exercising a potent influence ON
the action of the government. The rumor
current early in the week that Earl Dufferm
had resigned his post, because of his inabll-
ity to agree with the government policy, had
absolutely no foundation. The vlceroy IS
in complete accord with the government,
except that he recommends the construction
of railway to Candahar and the erection
of strong Notifications, which should serve
as the first line OF out
works in the defense OF India.
Public opinian in India, among the English
and native communities regarding the pros
poets of peace, is by no means uniform.
The military and civil officials
ARE DISAPPOINTED
at the turn affairs hpve taken and continue
to clamor for war. The leading centers,
however, such as Bombay, Calcutta
and Madras, hail the prospect
of peace with expressions OF
grateful relief. There are next to no signs
of any relaxation either in England or
India of the preparation for war. The ac-
ton of the plenary cabinet council this
afternoon in directing cancellation OF the
orders providing for the dispatch OF 2, 600
troops to India, is thought, by some,
to be significant of a purpose
to curtail the war measures, but
the assurances given that the war program
will be maintained until some definite set
tlement of the difficulty is reached by the
two countries. 1t is estimated that more
than 95, 900, 600 has already been expended
by the government in strengthening naval
and military equipments. Military pa
pers in London denounce the governments
policy. The Army and Navy Gazette
states that one effect of the patched-up
truce is to furnish Russia relief from the
coal famine, from which she is at present
suffering. The stock of coal had become
so low at st. Petersburg, according to this
journal. that the Russian fleet could not
have gone to sea. Manufacturers had been
forced to close their shops and work had
been retarded at the imperial dock yard
and arSenalS.

vite the rank and file of the great unwashed
party to hail him as s'Tom" Hendricks So
long as Mrs. Vice President was here little
court was running in the private parlor on
the street front of the hotel. People who
wanted to see Mrs. Hendricks were ushered
up by card and presented with due formal
ity. The newspapers told in deferential
way of this and that movement by the vice
presidents family; where they had taken
pew, and what benevolent enterprises Mrs.
Hendricks had espoused. Such were
the personal matters of which the
news was made. The other day the
lady went back to Indianapolis to remain
until her husband could wind up the affairs
of his Office and return there. Since then
things have changed. The parlor smells of
cigar smoke and is not occupied save at IL
regular intervals. Mr.. Hendricks has made
his appearance in role that suits him. He
has become the great commoner in an adj
mfnistratiOn devoted to Jeffersonian sim
plicity. 1t is no longer ''NIr. Vice Presi-
dent" but plain "Tom." The silk hat
worn so perpendicularly while Mrs. Hen
bricks was here is now tilted dangerously.

Clcveland,s Love for Lothrop.

Speclal TO Cno GlODe.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The presidents
nomination of Mr.. Lothrop, as minister to
Russia, resulted from a case of love at first
sight. Mr.. Lothrop is represented as
large, powerful man, capable of enduring
any amount of physical labor. The presi-
dent has fondness for such men. He is
crest admirer of Drawn and muscle.
He first met Mr.. Lothrop when
the latter, as chairman of
Michigan delegation, visited Buffalo to
pay his respects to the new president.
Turning to Col. Lamont after Mr.. Lothrop's
departure, Cleveland exclaimed very en-
Enthusiastically: 81 like him. He is a
splendid fellow. I don't know when 1
have been so favorably impressed before"
Whenever LothrOp's name was mentioned
to him subsequently, Cleveland has had
pleasant word for the Michigan lawyer.
Some time ago, when Mr.. Dickinson
of that state was advocating the claims of
certain Michigan men for different appoint
ments, the president interrupted him with:
''Why don't you recommend Lothrop for
something l would be glad to provide for
him Handsomely" It does not appear,
however, that Dickinson acted upon this
suggestion. Several days ago the president
telegraphed Mr. Lothrop asking if he would
accept the mission to Russia. A favorable
reply was received from Mr.. Lathrop and
he was promptly nominated.

never so discouraging as at present.
The recen. drop in the value of cop

and the Alice has already been closed
down and others will soon follow.
In the meantime, negotiations are
going on between the railway and
steamship companies, with the view
of obtaining the lowest possible rates
of freight to England. Miners wages
will probably be reduced, and every
body is anxious at the prospect.
