The Pacific Roads Bill.

WASHINGTON, March I'm reporting
favorably to the house the bill prepared
by the house committee on Pacific rail-
roads to secure the payment of all of the
Indebtedness of the Union Pacific Rail-
road company, and the Central Branch
Union Pacific Railroad company to the
United States, Chairman Cultivate
says that the most important question
to be considered Immediately is how to
secure the repayment of the peoples
money. The report quotes the unanim-
Gus opinion of the Pacific railroad COM
missioners to the effect that that under
no circumstances can q settlement OF
the debt of the Union Pacific be ex-
pected at maturity. The president is
also quoted to the same effect. The
whole amount that the Union Pacific
will pay under the bill, added to the
present payment of the sums i'm the
sinking fund. S7,734, ,0S3, will be $l1O,-
TAI, 1853. Taking into account, says the
report, the large partial payments, in
creasing each payment and reducing
the debt every six months, the average
extension of the debt as whole does
not exceed twenty years.

At the cOmpany's Office he registered
under the name of Beauheler, though it
was said by some that his name was
Miller. Curiously the brotherhood men
watched the ''scab' manipulate his en-
gine, and this is an instance of that
manipulation as given by an engineer.
He couldn't properly oil his engine. In
trying to do so he got underneath it, be-
tween the back pair of drivers, some
thing an experienced engineer would
not do. He did not put the feeders on
the guide trucks and came in with the
guides cutting on one side. When he
attempted to back the train out of the
depot it never moved.
"Release your brakes, you sucker"
shouted an engineer. He accepted the
suggestion and the train moved slowly
away, followed by the cries and de-
risive yells of the engineers and fire.

Who Aspires to Succeed Lulu
Hurst in the Dime Museums.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March "a
Morristown, Tenn. special says: Nor
ristown is considerably stirred up over
the discovery of the possession of re-
markable gift in one of the eyoung ladies'
of the town. This is Miss Lucy Byrd,
one of the most beautiful and talented
young ladies in this section. 1t seems
that she is a second Lulu Hurst. The
discovery is quite recent. OF late some
experiments have been made here by a
small circle of the ladies and gentlemen
interested in spiritualiStic manifesto
tions. Very small success, however,
was attained. At one OF the meetings
Miss Byrd was prevailed upon to join
the circle. No sooner had she placed
her hand upon the table than it raised
itself upon its legs, upsetting some OF
those at the table, and then it spun
around until the innocent cause of its
motion succeeded in removing her hand,
when it subsidized. All present were
the young lady herself, who
was almost terrified into hys-
terieS, When she became calm she was
induced to put her hands upon other
objects, all of which moved obedient to
her touch. She begged those present
rot to mention what had occurred, but
the next day several learned of it. AS
a result several experiments have fol-
lowed. Friday night several friends of
hers witnessed her power at nelg-
borS. Some very interesting results
followed the trial. A cedar chest weigh
ing eighty pounds was erected at her
touch on one corner and made to spin,
like top. Three persons threw their
weight upon the center table. but when
she laid her hand on it, with a spring it
rose in the air, staggering those who
were holding it down. Her mother and
three young friends sat down upon a
chair, but went flying in different direc
tions when the palm of her hand was
applied to the chairs back. Various
other articles were made tOmOve despite
great weight imposed upon them. A
table spun around at such lively rate
as to frighten the operator, who fled
into the hall. Not being able by light
effort to remove her hand in her con-
sternation, she started up convenient
stairway. Its narrowness caused a
clumsy attempt on the part OF the
table to follow, and with strong push
Miss Byrd sent it away from her. The
experiments thus far made have been
rather limited in scope, but would seem
to indicate the possession of power
fully equal to Lulu Hurst's.

THE OIL FURRY.
Too Many Sharp Corners to Suit

NEW YORK. March 7.-The members
of the stock exchange have apparently
satisfied themselves that dealing in oil
is accompanied by too many sharp
corners. and this morning they were dis
posed to let Pipe Line certificates alon e
The crowd around the petroleum section
was comparatively small and the only
business transacted was the settling up
of old accounts. In the Consolidated eX-
change, however, there was even greater
excitement than in the last hour yester-
day. Before the opening shorts paid as
high as $40 per LOCO barrels to borrow
oil for delivery to-day, and when the
market opened the pit was solid mass
of brokers', struggling and climbing over
each other in their efforts to buy and
sell. The first sale was made at 81 and
the price rapidly fell to 69c and then
moved back to 81. On the way
up and down the sales were the
largest ON record and in the first ten
minutes amounted to over 100000
barrels. There was flood of oil some
where, and the price was again forced
back below 99c on heavy sales. Where
the selling orders came from is mys-
terry, as the Western operators are APP
parently as heavy buyers as sellers, but
it is asserted that the great deal engi-
neered by the Standard Oil company
and the Producers union is approach
reason for the light corner worked yes
terday is that the Wall street houses
who have been long interested in oil
were short 100000 barrels before the
certificates were listed on the New York
stock exchange, and they were often
hard pressed to obtain enough certif-
Gates to keep their short accounts open.
1t is really this heavy short interest that
is now being squeezed, and the corner
of yesterday was only all incident of the
bigger move.

The Democrats Allow No Fooling
With the Tariff and Revenue
Measure.
WASHINGTON, March 7.-Having mar
shaled their forces over night the Re-
publican members of the ways and
means committee renewed their attack
on the Democratic majority's tariff and
revenue measure this mOrniug. All of
the members were present at 1:10
O'Clock, and when the committee had
been called to order Mr.. Reed opened
the proceedings by renewing his mo-
tion that representatives of the cement
industry be heard by the committee.
A fter the exchange of some tart re-
marks between the opposing lines this
motion was defeated by strict party
vote. Mr.. Reed again came to the front
with motion that the marble men be
heard, as theirs was an industry that
would be seriously affected by the pas
sage of the pending bill. This was also
rejected. Mr.. Burrows then moved that
the Easterbrook Metallic Paint COM
pany, of Camden, N. j., be granted ten
minutes in which to point out the prob
able effect of the bill on their business,
which, he said, would be its abso-
Lutte destruction. When the vote was
taken the same result followed, the
Democrats refusing to agree ON any
hearing. Mr.. Breckinridge, of Ken
lucky, next offered general resolution
that all industries affected by the pend
ing bill have liberty to file written or
printed communications before the COM
mittee, but that no oral hearings be
granted. Mr.. Kelley moved to amend so
as to require that those communications
already on file, OF hereafter received, be
read by the clerk to the committee. The
proposed amendment was rejected. Mr..
Mckinley then requested the committee
to hear workingmen and members of
