One of Glass Put in Its Place.

special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March during the
recent debate on the tariff bill Senator
Vance, of North Carolina, took an act
i've part, and was tireIess in his presen-
tation Of statistics. One evening he
was troubled somewhat with defective
vision in his left eye, and the following
morning, as its condition had not i'm
proved, he consulted an oeculist. The
latter advised cessation from work,
otherwise he would not be responsible
for results, but the senator laughed at
the idea of danger and persisted in
Stralning his eye with long columns of
figures. With the conclusion of the
tariff talk he was forced to retire to his
rooms and the end came yesterday, when
1t was found necessary to remove the
left eye to save the other. When this
determination was reached, Senator
Vance announced his willingness to
have the operation performed at once,
and requested the occulist to end his
mission as speedily as possible. ''Ac-
cerdingly," said the senator, II was

RAILROAD MILEAGE.
No Limitation demanded and the
Tickets to Be Made Transfera-


Tickets to Be Made Transfera-
BILE.
Senator Brown has entered the rum
ming against railroads, and produced a
bill which he AYERS will be hailed by the
travelling public. His desire is to regu-
late the sale of mileage tickets. II
wish, he said, in referring TO the pro-
posed law, Ito make it possible for any
TWO, three, or any number of people. to
use these mileage tickets. If a man
pays $40 for mileage ticket. wbv
should he not be allowed TO let his wife
use the same, Or even his laboring man?
Then. again, why should these tickets
be limited to time? What matter
whether these tickets are not used up
for dozen years? The railroads have
got the money and are accruing interest
thereon" The senator, therefore. in
trodHced bill, the main features of
which are:
From and after the passage of this act
all tickets issued and sold by any rail
way company within the state of Min
neSota shall be good for passage for any
person who shall hold them. on all reg
ular passenger trains on the road or
roads operated by the company using
them.
No tickets issued or sold by anv rail-
way company within the the state shall
be limited i'll time. but all tickets so is
sued and sold shall be and remain good
for passage till used at reduced rate
for a special excursion. Nor shall any
railway company charge any greater
price or rate per mile for any ticket at
any time hereafter than such company
was charging for said ticket Feb. l. 1889
Nor shall any railway company REQUIRE
any purchaser of q ticket to sign such
ticket
No conductor or any other official OF
person in the employ OF any railway
company shall have power to take IN
from any passenger any ticket with or
without signature for the reason that
the person offering the ticket is not the
original purchaser.
Senator Crandall is sponsor for a
measure similarly constructed, but
more drastic IN its provisions. This
bill was mutilated when before the rail
road committee, and it is questionable
whether more is heard of it. Senator
Brown means to push his bill.
