INV YORK. May 21.--At the meeting

dow Railroad Pool Commissioner
.,f-ed Fink made long statement, in
l;ob he said: There is now very
r.,,s complaint of excessive railroad
.sorges; indeed many railroad corpor-
..;ops have been driven into bankruptcy
sanonse their charges were too low to

!oblishing by law maximum rate. The
sation of one road can upset the whole
stem of tariff. The West Shore road

nre 0uestion is: Shall one road, by
O.5i-onting ruinously low rates. be allowed
~ bankrupt others?' The reduction of

c;ne Roads are better able to fix their

hundreds of things to be taken into

through such commercial organizations
as represent. Railroad corporations
should becompelled to organize them
selves in associations for this purpose.
Il would be a good plan for the roads
to publish their tariffs so that every
body could see just what they are" Mr..
Fink was not prepared to recommend
alaw to compel corporations, after they
had entered into an agreement in re-
gard to rates, to keep it, but he was
quite certain such law should be drafted
and passed by the Legislature or Con-
gress. The railroad property of the
whole country should be managed as
one property. Either railroads should
be governed by the government or by
associations formed among themselves.
Mr. Fink promised to prepare some
which might aid the com
mittee in formulating bills.

THEIR TRADITIONS
The Pueblos, like oil other Indians,
have many legends and traditions re-
lating to their origin, the flood, etc.
We have room here for only two. OF
their origin they give the following
account:
Many, many years ago their Great
Mother brought from her home In the
West nine races of men, in the follow
ing forms: First, the deer race; second,
the sand race; third, the water race
fourth, the bear race; nth, the hare
race, sixth, the prairie wolf race,
seventh, the rattlesnake race; eighth,
the tobacco-plant race, and ninth, the
seed-grass race.
Having placed them on the spot
where their village now stands.
she transformed them into men,
who built the present Pueblos,
and the distinction OF races Is still
kept up. One will say that he IL OF
the hare race, another the sand race,
etc. They are firm believers In me-
tempsychosls, and say that when they
die they will resolve into their original
forms, and become bears, deer, hares,
etc. Their chief governor Is of the
| deer race.
or the flood they have the following
| tradition
They say they have lived In these
mountains aud among these valleys
ever since the world was destroyed by
"A great flood. Their ancestors got into
a hollow log which happened to bC
floating along. This log in the coursC
OF time as the waters soakeC
into the earth landed on
a high peak OF the San francisco
mountains. Shortly after their mum
bers increased very rapidly, and tn,
Apaches attacked them, killing mos
of their tribe, and the remaiude
journeyed south TO where they nov
live. Stree that time, with thei
natural fortresses of defense TO b'
found in the mesa, together with theil
watchfulpess, they have defended
themselves against all odds. Old Gov
Pine can be often seen walking
through his little city with the air an,
spirit of truly modest guardian, o.

MCKINNEY.
A Negro Preacher in Jail-A Week of
Rain.

Special.
MCKINNEY, TEX, April PA ne.
gro preacher named McCoy was ar
rested in Denison Thursday for steal
ing watch from another negro in this
city. A subscription was started by
the sisters OF his church to ball him
out but withouJ success.
The heaviest rain OF the season fell
at this place ON Wednesday, overflow
ing the streams. The East fork OF
the Trinity was higher than before in
ten years. Reports were current
Thursday that several bridges had
bt IN washt i away, and considerable
damage done to crops along the over
flowed streams. During the storm
there were several gentlemen in the
telephone exchange, canvassing the

probabilities Of war between tine bear
and the bull, when fash Of light
ming rolled great balls OF fire into the
room as large as q mans hat. 1t ia
needless to say that the conversation
was discontinued and the participants
departed.

No candidate for governor has vel
formally announced himself from this

proposing an amendment to the Constitution ex
tending the limit of the presidential term to six
years, and providing pension for the retiring
Presidents. The House judiciary committee, to
which the resolution was referred, has thus far
failed to take any action whatever upon it, and
it is not now likely that it will be considered at

little attention. Beyond the mere announce

newspapers to sound public opinion and give us
