that those present would oppose the second
reading of the Home Rule bill Harrington
declared that the pledges from the

sufficient in number to make the rejection
of the bill on its second reading a certainty.

a heavy responsibility on him, which, how
ever, he was quite prepared to accept

KANSAS STATE NEWS.
A Railroad Decision.

!. J. E. LOCKWOOD, ticket agent, recently
/ addressed letter to the Railroad Commits
sioners in which he said: "a passenger
/ without ticket takes the train on our main
line to point on branch, the journey be-
| ing iucluded in the run of two conductors.
For instance: A passenger takes the train
at Clarksburg, on the main line, for Null
berry, station on the Cherryvale division.
The main line takes him to Arcadia, the
conductor collecting excess. At Arcadia
the passenger takes the train on the Cherry
vale division, and the conductor on that
train collects excess from Arcadia to Null
berry" He wished the board to say if this
was legal To which the board answered:
I'VE are of the opinion that the proper
course to pursue is for each conductor to
collect the excess due upon the cash fare
paid to him. That this construction of the
law would be correct is obvious from two
considerations. First-The conductor col
lecting the first fare to the end of his run.
or to station on another division to which
his run does not extend, can not anticipate
that the passenger will not purchase
ticket at the station where he takes a train
on such other division, and thus save por
tlon OF the excess he would otherwise have
to pay. This is a right the passenger may
avail himself of, and of which the conduct
or may not deprive him. Second-The con-
ductor is not vested with tie right to sell
tickets, but to collect fares, either in tickets
or cash, covering the distance of his run
but II he collected excess beyond his divis-
ion he must necessarily give the passenger
a ticket or other token showing such nay
ment 1t would not be reasonable to re-
quire railroad companies to make ticket
agents of the conductors

A DISPATCH from Chattanooga pur-
porting to give the story of a romantic
attachment between a son of the late
W. F. Dodge, of New York, and a
daughter of Senator Voorhees,, has
been extensively copied in newspapers.
Mr.. Voorhees, has been very much an
noyed by the story, and stated at Wash
ington recently that he felt much out
ragged by its publication. Said he: 1T
will be hard to conceive more misstate-
ments in the same space. l have but
one daughter and her name is not
Rose. She was never in the South and
never received any attention from Mr..
Dodge. 1 know Dodge very well and
esteem him highly, He is a gen.
tleman of refinement, of high social
standing, and is a business man of
large means, and a son of William F.
Dodge, of New York, and l never
knew gentleman more utterly inca
pable of conduct attributed to him than
he is"

GOVERNOR Sw1NEFoRp. of Alaska.

GOVERNOR SwINEFoRD, of Alaska,
told some remarkable things to the
members of the House Territory Com
mittee recently. The object of his
visit to the committee was to urge them
to prepare Congress to give terrific
rial form of government to Alaska. He
told the committee the United States
got treasure when they bought that
region; that almost any kind of pro-
duce could be raised there; that coal
was abundant, and a gold mine
worked there in a most primitive man.
ner yielded fifteen dollars per ton and
cost only one dollar and twenty-six
cents per ton to mine. There was, he
said, enough ore in sight to last one
hundred years at this rate. If the
members would 60 to Alaska with him
he would show them a canoe cut from
a single log which would hold sixty
people for voyage. In the right sea-
son of the year he would take them on
a voyage in the stream where the sal
mon would be so thick they would stop
the progress of the boat.
