Ho,d Move bv a Railroad COMPANY.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, June 4.-The Chi
cago, St Paul g. Kansas City road has de-
cded to ignore the long and short haul clause
of the interstate commerce law. This is the
first step by any road in the direction of free
dom from the yoke of the inter state law,
and the officials mean business and will push
the matter They claim that the Burlington
has cut rates via lake and water route until
the business has warranted some such action
as they have decided TO take The st. Paul
& Kansas City road will also meet the new
rates of the Burlington between st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Minnesota, Transfer and Chi
cago, but these rates will not govern between
intermediate points or intermediate and
terminal points. This action by the road
must not be understood to mean that they
ignore the interstate law to points all over
their line

AN INFATUATED WOMAN.

WASHINGTON CITY, June 4-Those who
have attended the performances of the
McCaull Opera company the past fortnight
have been considerably edited in watching
the progress of the infatuation of a pretty
young dame for the handsome tenor. Rumor
has it that her admiration finds vent in send
ing notes which are in no wise held sacred by
the recipient. Nearly every evening the
young woman was to have been seen either
in the front row of the orchestra or in one of
the stage boxes on the rail of which, con-
spicuously displayed, was a beautiful cluster
of flowers ready to be tossed to the tenor at
a certain point in the opera. One evening
those who occupied the front row of chairs
were moved to admiration by specially
large and elegant bouqet of Jacqueminot
roses which was handed up to the lion of the
hour. The singer, on his part, was surprised
from hiA usual calm by the notable Offering,
for as he bent over the footlights to receive
it he drew in his breath with the audible ex-
clamation: "Phew, isnt-[mentioning the
lady's namel darling"

Prospects for Appropriations.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 4.-There will
be little of general interest done in the senate
during the present week An arrangement
was made several days ago whereby the
Democrats who have gone to the St Louis CON
vention were assured that no proceedings of
important political character would be had
in their absence. Chairman Allison, of the
senate committee on appropriations, said to
a United Press reporter yesterday:
1t will be physical impossibility for the SEN
ate TO passed the regular appropriation bills be-
fore the end Of the present fiscal year, the Both
inst We intend to crowd the measure as rapidly
as possible but about half of the ten which have
not been acted upon by our committee will not
get through before the en- of the month.
The senator added that the chasm in APP
preparations would doubtless be bridged
over by extension of last years provisions

NEW York, June 4.-Gen. A. r. LawtOn,
United States minister to Austria, accom-
panied by his wife, arrived here on the
steamer LaGascogne, yesterday, on a six
weeks leave OF absence Mr. Lawton brings
rather discouraging news to the friends and
admirers of James G. Blaine, who, he says, is
rapidly aging and by no means presents the
appearance of well man. Only a month
ago Mr.. I4awton dned with Mr.. Blaine in
Rome and in conversation with him on
American politics generally, was led to be-
leve that Mr.. Blaine would accept the presi-
Dental nomination if he should he the choice
of the convention.
Gen LawtOn had not heard of Mr. Blaine's
second letter declining the nomination when
relating the foregoing, and when told of it
remarked that the Maine statesman hadHprob-
ably changed his mind" 1t was the impress
sion abroad, Mr.. Lawton said, that Mr..
Blaine expected to receive the nomination.

which have been completed for the forthcom-

delegates at first sight and was freely COM
mented upon was the fact that in its proper
tions the nave is anything but suited TO the
purposes of such n gathering. In dimensions
it is IS feet in width against depth of $S4
feet, and as a result, the majority of the del
egates will be located away back in the rear,
where a bugle will be necessary to get the
ear of the presiding officer while the latter
in turn will need field glass to locate the
individual who may be seeking recognition
Between the chair and the front row of dele
gates seats there is a space of sixty feet in
depth, which will be occupied by the repre-
sentatives of the press. The latter will thus
he directly between the delegates and the

coming between the press tables to within

rangement in the Chicago conventions of

As for the decorations, they are lavish and
highly coored. Back of the chair hangs an
