ACTING LIKE SCHOOLBOYS.

What Commissioner Cooley Thinks Of
the Railroad Presidents.
CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-In speaking of the
endeavors Of the railroad presidents to
make joint agreement concerning pas
senger and freight traffic Judge Cooley
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
says:
"The presidents act like lot Of
schoolboys. There is an absolute need
for definite and final legislation, and they
know it. Such constant chickering's and
mutual suspicious are present to so
large an extent in no other class of bust.
nessmen with which I am acquainted.
They ought to get down to business and
solve the difficulties at once. The ques.
tion of maintaining rates resolves itself
into a question of maintaining the law.
The presidents know this, and any doubt
by them as to whether or not they will
pass and live up to an agreement is SIM
ply doubt as to whether they will obey
the law"

AUSTRIA ON THE FRENCH.
Vienna Views on the Course of Events In
Paris.

Paris
VIENNA, Jan. 30.-The FremdenblaH
lays the blame for the dangerous turn of
events in France upon Radicalism, and
says: Although M. Ferry is the flttest
man to form a new cabinet, his doing so
might increase the dissensions among the
Republicans. Perhaps NJ. Waldeck-
Rosseau would be the right man for the
present moment. The Parliamentary
Republic must oppose the dictator and
pretender and must change itself from a
Radical to Conservative Government"
The Press declares that President Car
not must abandon his reserve. Other
wise, 1t says, Boulangism will swallow
France within year.
The Neo free Press, referring to the
election of General Boulanger, says "If
President Carnot earnestly summons the
whole of France to decide the question
of government, the country will, per-
haps, recoil from the disgrace of falling
into the hands of a political adventurer
Paris, ny the election of General Boulan-
ger, has signiied its approval Of the
Recanche idea. The execrations of all
peoples will be heaped on the heads of
the Nation responsible for the next war
in Europe"

Cost OF tho Signal saryioa.

Observer Alfred f, Sims said this morning
that the cost of the Signal Service to the Gov
ernment must come pretty close to $4 200, 900
q year lie had no exact information on the
subject, he said, but he thought that the cost
OF one average office, with stationery, etc, f,
must be nearly $40 day. There are about $50
offices in operation outside of the Washing
ton Office and at $40 day this would cost
Uncle Sam about 81, 600 day or s., 190, 900 II
year. Upwards of 200 men are employed in
the Washington Office and 1t is not unlikely
that this would cost S2,0O0,0O0a IA year more

tht VI thc Nurth.
Sr. PETERsBuRe, Jan. 30.--General
Boulanger's success is discussed with ex.
cited interest. The court circle believes
that there will be no war during the pres
ent year unless the general elections are
forced upor the government before the
autumn, with the result of France maxi
ing Boulanger dictator, The papers hold
divergent views regarding the conse.
quences Of Sundays election. The
Nocoecremya expects the eventual advent
to power Of an Opportunist Ministry,
with period OF struggle that will inter-
fere with the opening of the exhibition
and result in President Carnot's resigna-
tion.
The Grashdanin predicts that Bou-
langer will soon be compelled TO choose
the path of war of revenge rs the only
means OF escaping the difficulties of
party contentious. The Sect anticipates
the ultimate formation of strong gov
ernment under Boulanger--a government
pence of Europe by imposing upon the
adversarics Of France necessity for pru-
dence.
The st. Petersburg Zeitung commends
the calmness displayed by the people of
Paris on the momentous day of election
as showing that the French people are
capable OF the free exercise Of constitu-
tional rights with full confidence in the
inviolability of the law
Every paper in the city avoids referring
to the effects which the formation of q
Boulanger ministry would have on the
relations Of France and Russia to the
triple alliance. In official circles the
feeling strongly tends towards Boulanger,
being hopeful that he would introduce q
more decided anti German policy.

BERLIN BRIEFS.

The Current of Talk at tho Capital of
Germany.
BERLIN, Jan. S0.-A communication
to the North German Gazette from Leip-
sic denies that.the judgment of the i'm
perial tribunal in the Geffcken case was
unanimous. Several papers have copied
the Rreus Zeitung article, which is the
basis of the prosecution Of that journal.
Not the slightest notice was taken of
the Emperor's birthday in Neu-Strelitz.
No flag was hoisted on the palace or on
any public building in the town.
The North German Gazstte, again re-
ferring to Boulanger, says that notwith-
standing the obvious efforts of the ruling
parties to show firm front and deter
mined attitude, the numerous consulta-
tions forced upon them prove that all the
Republican parties alike suffer from a
complete lack of definite, initiative and
personal authority.

THE SAMOAN QUESTION.
Speech OF Senator sherman--Re pressnta-
tive Morrow's Resolution.

Speech OF Senator acknowledgements
tive Morrow's Resolution,
In the Senate yesterday afternoon Mr..
Sherman made long speech favoring
the amendment to the Diplomatic Appro-
priation bill providing an appropriation
to enable the President to maintain the
rights of the United States in the Somoan
Islands. He said there was no menace
OF war In the proposition, for there was
nothing in the situation to bring about a
breach of the peace by either OF the ma
tions interested. Adjournment arrived
before action was taken on the amend
ment.
In the House yesterday afternoon Mr..
Morrow introduced the following joint
resolutions;
Resolved, That the present condition of af-
fairs NJ Samoa requires that this Government
should aid the people OF those islands in So
curing an independent native Government
free from the claims OF territorial jurisdiction
OF any European power, aud TO the END that
this purpose may be speedily and effectually
accomplished the President OF the United
States is hereby requested to insist on the res
toration sof affairs on said islands as the same
existed ut the time of the convention between
the representatives Of the governments OF
Germany, Great Britain and the United States
held In the city OF Washington In June and
July, 1857; that he further aid In securing a
settlement OF the pending difficulties ut Samoa
on a satisfactory and solid foundation, and In
the restoration of peace and good order under
a responsible native independent government,
with court of competent jurisdiction to de-
termine land titles and such other claims and
controversies of foreign residents as may be
properly cognizable by such a court, and that
he take such further steps as may be necessary
to protect the rights Of this Government aud
its citizens In said Islands.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
A Suit Over the Collection of Duty ol
Rice,

hlce.
New ORLEANS, Jan. S0.-A trial OF
great importance to the rice trade was
begun in the United States Court yester-
dav, the collector of the port being sued
by firm of importers to recover three
quarters of cent per pound on rice
which was classified as "clean' and
dutiable at 24 cents per pound, while the
importers claim that it was "unclean"
and dutiable at II cents per pound. The
collector claims that powder was mixed
with the rice in order to make 1t pass for
"unclean" in the same way that sugar is
sometimes artidcially discolored to avoid
high duties. The powder, it Is alleged,
can be famed out with practically no ex,
pense. NEARLY all the rice importers and
dealers in the city are in attendance on
the suit, which is expected to occupy sew

am told he was instantly killed"
In reply to questions Mr.. forster stated that he
observed the water in the boiler according to
the gauge on the engine, and 1t looked all ght,
and there was no cause for alarm on that point.
The water did not foam, and he could tell that
the engine was safe so far as having plenty of
water in the boiler was concerned. Mr.. forster
was satisfied that there was sufficient water, as
he stated that the hydrant from which they fed
the engine had been used for that purpose but a
short time before. He could not account for the
explosion in any way.
II was learned that before steam had been
gotten up in the engine yesterday it had lain
idle for two or three days.
The accident happening at such short time
after lunch the persons that frequently stand
about the dock and around an engine on the
wharf were absent, or the loss of life would nc
doubt have included others.
