A RrainY Man by Proxy.

A widely-known congressman was called upon by reporter whose paper wanted to know what, in the congress mans opinion, would and should be the effect of an incident that had just occurred at Washington. and had greatly excited the congressman's con- stitueney.
 "Sorry. but I am too busy to give you moment today" said Mn as he opened. slightly. the door of his private office; ''but look here, you are a good man, and you know me pretty well. Suppose you go to the office and write up spicy interview and show me the proof l guess it will be all right"
 The reporter did so. the congressman changed not more than half dozen lines in the proof, and the interview" when published. was quoted far and wide as the valuable opinion of a man especially qualified to speak upon the subject. Not only did Mr.-pay high compliment to the peporter for his i'm piled familiarity with current political events and good judgment, but he showed that whatever the reporter wrote-which. of course. was subject to correctional would be put in such a form that it would be interesting 10 its readers. .-Ihs Writer.

ST. LOUIS GETS IT.

Unanimously Selected as the Place for Holding the Next Democratic National Convention.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-After a lively time of 1t yesterday the national com mittee reassembled in Willard's hall few minutes after 10 o'clock this morn- ing with closed doors. There was a crowd of anxious workers from San Francisco, St. Louis, Chicago and New York, waiting in the lobby, and all sorts of rumors were afioat about changes in the prospects of each and all of the three leading cities, that had grown out of the conferences of the night.
 A break was to occur in the ranks of the supporters of san Francisco and go to New York or Chicago, and thus end the contest at once in favor of those cities.
 On the other hand there was to be a move for 8 reconsideration and change of the date for holding the convention which. if successful, would fix it early in June, and this would insure to the benefit and a victory for St. Louis. Yet V ith all these conflicting rumors, the workers from the three leading cities talked confidently of winning the prize.

THE BURLINGTON STRIKE.
Eleven Thousand Men Probably Invoived-- Trains Have stopped Running and Busi- ness Is Almost Wholly Suspended.

Eleven Thousand Men Probably Involved--
 Trains Have Stopped Running and Busi-
 ness Is Almost Wholly Suspended.
 gineers on all main and short lines oi the C., B. & c. Railway was inaug- urated Monday morning at a. m. No agreement having been reached Chair man Hoge ordered all belonging to the brotherhood to stop work until further orders. A long and bitter fight is to be expected. General Manager Stone avows his intention of standing out against all odds, and says no freight trains will be run until all passenger and suburban trains are first supplied with men.
 The strike promises to be the most remarkable ever known, for in 1t the strongest single labor organization in existence has been pitted against the largest railroad corporation in the West and one of the greatest in mileage and wealth in the world. Should the strike long continue, it Is probable that in ad- dition to the 400 men directly involved, the great majority Of the l4,000 em- ployes of the company will be thrown put of work, the 2j,000 members of the Engineers Brotherhood through put the country called upon to eontr b. ute of their savings, and the industries of vast section or country tributary 10 the road subjected to a partial par alysis. The fsr-reaehing effects of the strike can be inferred from the fact the road has 60J0 miles of main and leased lines in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska. From Chicago it reach es to Denver, Colo, over 1000 miles away, and Cheyenne, Wyo., equally as far. Minneapolis 10 the north and St Louis to the south are within its reach -the territory of an empire.
 The financial loss of the company by the strike is a subject of curious com- ment. In ordinary times tho gross earnings of the road ran from S2.UO0,- 000to $3,000,000 month, but owing to the rate war in progress for some time past among the Western railroads a large proportion of the Burlingion's business mas been done at an actual loss. Whether the margin of profit on the remainder of the traffic taken as a whole was so small as to make the strike almost a boom to the company the higher officials probably alone know. It Is point that seemed to es- cape close attention by the engineers, and one which, taken in connection with the hostility of the Kn ghts O, Labor, may prove fatal weakness to the strike. The chief depots are round houses of the road located at Aurora and Galesburg, Ill, Ottumwa, Burling- ton and Creston, To-, Lincoln, Omaha and McCook, NeD. There are thousands of working divisions of the road. Dis patches from each place tell of active preparations being made for the strike The yardmasters are at work getting all loaded cars to the freight del ot and all tickets to passengers are sold with the understanding that the company is not to be held responsible for failure to carry passengers owing to the strike. At Omaha arrangements have been made with the Union Pacific road to honor all Burlington tickets to common points. It is presumed that similar arrangements have been made with other roads.

Break Up the Pool.


 The railroad pool at Castle Garden takes by the throat every immigrant who lands at this port and whose des- tination is beyond New York; com pels him to pay rate of fare arbitra- rily fixed by an agreement between all the trunk lines without allowing a chance for competition; extorts from him an exorbitaut price for extra bag gage. and divides the earnings of this cruel monopoly between the several railroad corporations that form the combination. If any citizen or person outside of Castle Garden desires to travel on the same tran and with the same class of tickets as those supplied to the immigrant he is compelled to pay S4 more than the latter pays from here to Chicago and corresponding increase to other points. If fifty inn migrants just landed at Castle Garden were going to Chicago to work their fare would be S650 without extra bag gage. If fifty citizen laborers were  going on the same train to work on the same job their fare. exclusive of extra baggage. would be SS50
 This is not discrimination in favor of the immigrant, because whenever competition has existed the ordinary and remunerative emigrant fare to Chi cago has been from S7 10 So. while the pool makes it SIS. It is discrim- ination against the citizen who is charged Sl7 in order to drive him to buy first-class tickets, which are S20.
 The Interstate Commerce Committee is about to investigate Castle Garden and its railroad abuses. The railroad pool is against both the letter and the spirit of the Inters tate Commerce law, as well as a cruel imposition and out rage on the immigrant. It is to be hoped that the iniquitous pool monop- oly, which preys upon the poor man and the stranger. will be broken up and swept away by the prompt action of the Commission. -Net0 York World.

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.

Representative Heard of Missouri is in happy mood over the fact that the house committee on public build- ings and grounds, reported unani- mously his bill appropriating $50, 900 for the erection of a governmental build ing et Sedalia.
 Col. John G. Prathe of St. Louis re. turned Saturday night from New York. Mir. Henry c. Haarstlck ofSt Louis is also in Washington, and both Of these gentlemen will appear before the sen- ate committee on commerce in refer. snce to the Memphis bridge bill. There will be delegations also from New Orleans, Memphis, Pittsburg and other cities with reference to the same matter.
 The past week was very hard one upon Don NJ. Dickinson, the post master general and the latest addition 10 Mir. Cleveland's cabinet. Saturday he was very nearly worn out. The strain upon his nerves incident to the department work, has been remarked by all his friends. He evidently finds it much more trying than the conduct of business and politics in Michigan. Connected with the meeting of the Democratic national committee last week he had to see and talk to more than thousand persons, besides attending to all the necessary details of department work. Fortunately he was spared one or two cabinet meetings. He was also spared the necessity Of introducing to the president not less than a hundred Northwestern politicians, who had counted uron the new postmaster-gen- ersl as powerful packer. He did not miss any or the Democratic members of congress, who, having failed 10 procure places from Mir. Villas. having descended upon Mir. Dickinson with renewed hope. The result Is that Mir. Dickinson is really a sick man, and will have to take n rest

Too Muoh for the Telephone.

The telephone. it is said, is not mak- ing much progress in Russia And no wonder; fancy man going to the phone and yelling:
 '.Hel-lol Is that you, Devisostkivch- smartyoiczski?"
 '.No. It's Zolleuschonskaffirnocken- stifTsgowoff Who's sreaking?" "Sezlmockocwiertrijuaksmzyshs k G. moi. want to know if Xilteroman- k effiiskillmajuwchzvastowsksweibie ski is still stopping with Dvisostkivch- smartvoiczvski.
 Such nomenclature over the tele- phone would tic the wire full of knots and twist the enunciator all out oi shape. Until the kinks are ironed out of the Russian names the telephone will not be an overwhelming success in the land of the czar.-4rssth.

aBoss" Platt Conference with Senators
 sherman and Hiscock.

s'Boss" Platt Conference with Senators
 sherman and Hiscock.
 wAsHIN iToN, D. C., February 27.- The tongue of speculation is wagging over the presence here of Boss" Platt. and the fact that he has been in consul tation with Senators sherman and Hiscock. The three were closeted together last night. Of course nobody knows the subject of their conference, but when the Republican boss of New York brings two Republican candidates for the Presidency together gossip is ready with plausible hypothesis as to what it means. It is thought that Mr. Platt wants to bring about an under standing by which New York and Ohio may pool their issues to frame a sherman and Hiscock ticket, Hlscock to become Sherman's residuary legatee in the event of the latter's failure to get the first place. Beyond the suspected sherman and Hiseoek deal, the only new feature or gossip with reference to the Republican nomination is the talk about lngalls, with which is coupled the name Of Phelps. The Ingalls, sug- eestion comes from the Irish-American element which voted wieh the Repnbli- can party in 1884, and which is set adrift by Blaine's withdrawal Ingalls, it will be remembered, has given the British lions tail several twists.

baron OF fine family and education came

uatlon to keep himself from absolute
want, so be entered the clothing store OF
M as clerk. Well, this young lady,
hearing he was noble, must have his
autograph. 80 she came into the
store one day and requested 1t,
leaving her album. It puzzled
him greatly. Why should che want his
autograph, complete stranger? Sud-
denly the truth struck him and he wrote
his name, and beneath: "Clerk In Ms
store" 'Oh," said he to me, you
should have seen her face lengthen, and

Providence Again On Fire.

PRECEDENCE, r. l., Feb. l6.-Tbe most
disastrous fire which has visited this
city since September, 1877. when the
great wholesale buildings about the
postoffice were destroyed, ragged this
morniug among the business blocks near
the city hall. The flames were first dis
covered at midnight. They started In
the northwest corner of the ground floor
OF the building occupied as an engine
room by Henry Staples & Co. On the
same floor we're the sash and blind
ware houses Of E. A. French q
Edwards Wheelhouse sash factory. The
second floor was occupied by VIM. G.
Budlong & Co., manufacturers of jewell
ers tools, w. II. Beatty & Co., jewellers,
and James A. Charnley, jewelers. sup
plies, Hough & Wilkinson, jewellers, and
others. The third floor was occupied
by VIM. II. Robinson & Co.. manufac-
ture-s of watch chains, and Reed & Hud-
soD. jewelers.. The fourth floor was oc-
cupied by j. u. Hurdy, electro-plster
and others. In as few moments
this building was Quilted and with y
crash the walls fell. In on instant the
block which stood on the opposite side
Of Worcester street WAS In flames and
was consumed like so much tin
der. 10 40 minutes nothing was
left but the blackened walls re-
NAMED Upon the first floor OF this
building, were Burke Bros, dealers In
beer, w. J. Matson & Co.. dealers In
calico print supplies, and II. Morrissey's
bar-room In the second story were
Isaac Haynes, braid shop, and Smith &
Provost, engrAyers. The third and
fourth stories were used as
store rooms. Upon the fifth floor lsaRc
F. Chase had just fitted rooms at cost
OF over $1,000 for the manufacture OF
belt hooks. From this point the fire eX-
tended TO the Aldrioh house, cOmmunl-
eating through the roof. The loss is
estimated at 100000.

trouble on the Turf.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 16.-In an interview
today, Capt. Sam Brown, the turfman-
said that as soon as the Louisville
Jockey club demanded al explanation
he would tell all he knows about the
crooked Kentucky Derby, referred to
him in his conversation with the Post
reporter yesterday. He said it was the
Derby of 1882, as stated before. my
information came from two well known
turf authorities. One OF my infOrmants
was Capt. VIM. Cottrill who died about
q year ago, but the other Is a Louisville
pool seller. Jim Burt Ia still alive. On
the Derby Runnymeade was an
immense favorite, but Appoli0 (never a
fast one) came In first with Runny-
meade not far behind. A claim that the
latter was out OF shape will hardly pass
muster, for in Clark stakes few days
later, he made show OF his company.
