CHICAGO. November 29.-Regar5ing the
much talked Of conference between Chair
man Midgeley and several railroad mag
mates in New York local paper says: ''For
several weeks past Jay Gould, G. p. Hunt
ingtOn, Charles Francis Adams, w. b.
Strong and other railroad magnatss inter
estsd IN western railroads have been hold
ing conferences IN New York in which
Chairman Midgeley, Of the Southwestern
Railway association, has taken a prominent
part. The object Of the conferences has
been kept q profound secret. The announce
ment was made that the conferences had
come to an end and that an agreement had
been made whereby the troubles among the
Southwestern roads would be ended, and
rates be advanced from % to 35 per cent as
soon as possible. But this announcement
was no nearer the truth than previous re-
ports regarding the mysterious conference.

Citations within the territory west Of the

The Territories

WASHINGTON, D. c. December Con
gresham Springer, chairman of the house
committee on territories, has arrived here.
1--WE are going to try very hard to pass
the bill admitting the territories of Wash
ington, Montana, Dakota and New Mex
leo, said he to-day, land we shall certainly
pass the Oklahoma bill. The next house
viii undoubtedly be republican by small
majority, and 1 suppose the republicans Of
both house and senate would have no Obiec-
ton to strengthening that majority. The
admission of territories would do that since
they could be states in time to elect senators
gress. Montana, Washington oni Dakota
are republican. The senate must insist on
a division OF Dakota and such action would
probably block matters for awhile, but I am
in favor Of any reasonable compromise"

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 3.-There
seems to be an agreement among the re-
publican leaders that the senate tariff bill
will be taken up the first thing this winter
and pushed through to It's passage in the
senate. Mr.. Mckinley says so, and Senators
Allison and Spooner make the same declar-
alton. The bill is now at the head Of the
calender, as unfinished business, and will
come up each day after the morning hour.
Monday next the presidents message and
the usual exchange of communication be-
tween the houses Will occupy the day. On
Tuesday il will be the duty of the presiding
officer to lay the unfinished business before
the senate at 2 O'Clock. This will be the
tariff bill, and it Will depend on Senator
Allison, who has it il charge, whether its
consideration viii be resumed on that day.
Before the adjournment of the last session,
Senator Allison said he would call the tariff
bill up at the earliest possible moment, and
he declared that he would resist any lengthy
adjournment for the holidays In order to
facilitate its passage. Before leaving Iowa,
Senator Allison said that he would await an
intimatiOn from the democratic leaders IN
the house, promising a proposition to agree
on a tariff bill, but while at Indianapolis,
and after a consultation with General Har-
rison last Tuesday, he Is reported to have
returned to his original DrOgramme-the
immediate consideration OF the republican
bill.
Regarding the general poLlCy OF the re-
pubicans touching the measure, he said
they might probably make some change IN
it, but not any Of Importance, and the bill
would remain substantially the same. Sena-
tor SpoOner, who was with Senator Allison
in Indianapolis, made a statement similar
to that OF Senator Allison ard these utter
anCe5 indicate that 1t is the desire OF Gen
eral Harrison and the purpose Of the lead
era to push the tariff bill through the senate,
and substantially in its present form. 1t
may. therefore, be expected that the senate
viii take up the tariff Dill this week.

the committee on rules by caucus action
was directed to make a special order for

1t is a significant fact that, although
even the faintest trace Of Indians blood
predominates over that Of the more
eifeminate yet conquering blood of Euro.
peans, yet the pure blooded Indians have
almost disappeared, while the half breeds
now compose the Canadian tribes. The
disappearance of the Indians must be due
TO some psychological influence rather

Even here, under the best attainable re-
lations with civilization and the least
possible change of habits, they are d.
minishing about as fast as our abused
tribes. Scrofnla and smallpox are their
most common diseases, and they injure
their health by unnecessary exposure,
overlooking Of the carries, inordinate
feasting and fasting, and excessive labor
in running down reindeer and moose;

even though you may have left England

Remember that st. Petersburg is on the

increased length Of the days. Even now
the sun does not set until about 0 o'clock

Feeding Young Fish.

Mr.. +. Lugrin, Of Geneva, has discov-
cred a method Of feeding young fish Of
the trout and salmonoid varieties. Great
difficulty has hitherto been experienced
In carrying the young fish through the
first year OF their existence, the artificial
food not being sufficiently nutritious,
often costly and involving constant care
and attention. Mr.. Lugrin's invention
consists in a material which, when spread
on the bottom Of a tank, spontaneously

Dreams wait to snare thine eyes
Where loves light glows and glorihesi

Enchanted where sweet silence broods
The night wind lifts thy silken hair
To kiss thine eyes to dreams most fart
Sweetheart, slumber-I will keep watch DER thy

Yet, as the shadows ftful grow,
The wind voice hath another tone,
Its utterance seems weird and slow,
My signs are mingling with thine own,
Lift thy soft lips close TO mine own
And slumber. sweetheart, as | keep watch DER thy

A Frenchman at the Seaside.


Fer more than a month there has not
been a cloud in the sky, the earth is
parched and cracking, and life is only
rendered tolerable to an Englishman by
the plentiful Use of a cold tub, but a
Frenohman does not consider that the
bath should be entered lightly or without
proper precautions. In happier climes
he would, DO doubt, make his annual
visit to some fashionable seaside bathing
place and there disport himself on the
beach in a tight and many hued garment
once a day, stalking down a plank path
across the single, slowly and with con
scious pride, toward the sea. till he was
immersed as far above the knee as the
authorities would permit, and then he
would splash himself discreetly ard with
caution, or, perhaps, join hands and bob
round in a circle with ladies and gentle
men similarly attired; but here there is
no .'plage," and no costume de bain,"
nothing but a tin bath and solitude.
We lose his society for ten days, and
he takes six baths. On his retirement
from the world he takes medicine and
devotes the first two days 10 preparing
himself for the ceremony. Then for six
consecutive days he tai rs a bath, the
water being slightly warmed, hat he
may not catch a chill, and then he re-
mains in doors for two more days, that
his system may have time to recover
from the shock before he exposes him
self to the chance of catching cold under
an August sun The ten days passed,
he reappears among US washed and re-
juvenated, and 70 marvellous in his
economy that, on those half dozen baths,
he manages to look perfectly clean all
the year round.-Au the Year Round.
