ted by both parties to the controversy to
be practically settled. The conference
to-day between the officials of the road
and the Committee of Nine resulted in
an amicable agreement on nearly all
points at issue, and it is confidently ex-
pected that complete understanding
will be reached tomorrow morning.
The only hitch in the arrange
ments for ending the strike was on one OF
the minor demands of the Committee,
which the officials did not feel justified
in granting without first consulting with
President Perkins and the directors Of
the company in Boston. They requested
time. therefore, to exchange kilograms
with the Boston Office, and they have NO
doubt that full authority will be received
to accept any proposition OF The commit
tee that is fair and reasonable.
THEIR FACES wREATHED WITH SMILES.
When the Committee of Nine called
at the general offices of the Burlington
this morning, Vice Presidents Stone and
Peasley were waiting for advices from
Boston, and asked that the conference
be delayed until O'Clock in the after
noon. Chairman Cavener readily as"

Dakota Despaivs.

ST.. PAUL, January "a special to the
Pioneer Press from Yankton, OAK, says
The Statehood Executive Committee has
issued call for delegated convention
of counties in Southern Dakota, January
10th, for the purpose of taking steps to
further the Statehood of South Dakota.
The Committee believes South Dakota g
chances at Washington waning, and
tears two or three years will elapse be-
fore it's admission is achieved. 1t is
urged that action be taken by the pres
ent Congress, and in case such is not
done the strongest pressure possible will
be brought to bear to secure an extra

HOUSE PROCEEDINGs.
Fruitless Attempt to Head Off the
Elllhuatera.

In the House, on motion of Toole, Of
Montana, the Senate amendment to the
House bill appropriating $33, 900 to ena-
BILE the Secretary of War to issue to the
Governor of Montana military stores for
the use of the militia in that Territory,
was concurred in.
On motion of McKenna, the Senate
bill was passed appropriating So, 800 for
the relief of William R. Wheaton, ex-
Register, and Charles a. Chamberlain,
Receiver, of the Land Office at San
Francisco.
SUSPENSION DAYS TO BE SUSPENDED.
Reed, of Maine, reported resolution,
providing that during the remainder Of
the session there shall be no call of
States and Territories on the first and
third Mondays of each month. These
Mondays are what are known as suspen-
sion days, and the object of the resolu-
ton is to prevent the opponents of the
Union Pacific funding measure and the
Oklahoma bill in filipustering against
the attempt to pass these measures under
suspension of the rules, from introducing
voluminous bills under the call of States
and consuming the day by demand for
their reading in full
Reed demanded the previous question
on the adoption of the resolution, which
called forth a vigorous protest from
Anderson, of Kansas, who has been one
of the chief antagonists of the Union
Pacific bill. He asked that two hours
debate be allowed upon the resolution,
but Reed declined to accede to the re-
quest on the ground that he had been
instructed by the Committee to demand
the previous question. is
Randall, of Pennsylvania, member
Of the Committee on Rules, stated that
there had been . division in the Com
mittee upon the resolution.
A FORCED ADJOURNMENT.
Anderson demanded the yeas and nays
on ordering the previous question when
no quorum voted, the roll disclosing 114
votes in the affirmative and % votes in
the negative, Randall being the only
member of the Committee on Rules vot-
ing with the minority. The call of the
House was ordered. The call showed
the presence Of III, eight more than q.
quorum, but the margin was too narrow,
and the proceedings under the call were
not suspended. The Sergeant-at- Arms
was dispatched 10 arrest absentees, and
the House drowsily waited for him to
make his report. As this was not forth
coming ats o'clock the House adjourned.

In THB HERALD this morning may be
found very interesting letter from J.
DeBarth Shorb, Esq, touching the dis
ease which has attacked the vines of
this State. He thinks, as others who
have written to the HERALD recently,
that the disease is caused by fungus of
some form. His letter is addressed to
the Board of Supervisors, and asks for
aid in the good work he is doing, with
the help of an expert furnished by the
viticultural Commission of the State.
Aid ought to be lent to this work. The
wine INDUSTRY of this section is of para
mount Importance. In France family
lives off an acre of vines. The owner of
Eve acres is rich. These are watched from
day to day with careful and experienced
eyes. The slightest trouble is noted at
once, its cause sought and the remedy
applied. 1t will be 80 here. In the
future an acre of table or raisin grapes
we'll cultivated and cared for will yield
seven or eight tons Of fruit. These will
be worth $50 to $40 per ton. Five acres
Of such property will bring in revenue
equal to 500 to $125 per month. 1t will
twenty years from now be worth s., 1000
an acre. Such an industry is worth fos-
tering. 1t must not be let perish for lack
Of intelligent care. This disease, as Mr..
Shorb truly says, can be made to reveal
itself-it must be made to do SO; and
then the remedy will be applied, ard Los
Angeles will be made rich from it's abun-
'dant grape crops of various sorts.

COLORED CATHOLICS.
An Address Prepared for Presenta.
tfOn to Cardinal 6ibb0ns..

WASHINGTON, January 3.-There was a
large attendance at the third days meet
ing of the Colored Catholic Convention.
Archbishop Elder, of Cincinnati, ad-
dressed the delegates, urging them to
continue in their good work. The COM
mittee appointed to wait upon the
President, reported that ne would
receive the Congress tomorrow after
noon. Letters expressing sympathy
with the objects of the Convention
were read from John Boyle O'Reilly and
Healy, of the Order of the Holy Ghost,
read an interesting paper on Catholic
Missionary Work in Africa" The Com
mittee ON Resolutions then reported an
address, which after considerable discus
sion was adopted, and committee was
appointed to present it to Cardinal Glib
bons.

"A SANTA ANA correspondent writes us
. letter in which he advocates the divis
ion Of the county. The HERALD has not
been persuaded that such division is
called for. While we favor division of
the State we do it on the tenable grounds
that thereby the weight of this section
would be increased in the Congress of
the United States and our local concerns
would be more thoroughly and fairly
attended to. We have supported the
argument for State division on the basis
that California is an unwieldy State, and
that the interests of the northern, central
and southern counties are diverse and
even hostile. This is not the case as to
the northern and central portions of Los
Angeles county. We are homogeneous
and of about the right size for one impe-
rial and splendid county. But our Santa
Ana county correspondent mentions one
serious grievance, and that is that the
county officials are incompetent
and neglectful of their duties. Even
the taxpayers of the city can also
exclaim, "hence these tears" This
complaint of our southern neighbor is
re-echoed from all portions of the county.
1t can be remedied as to all of us by
electing competent officials in future, and
by increasing the force and improving
the quality where it is needed of the
deputies in the Offices of the Assessor
and Tax Collector. While q genuine
grievance exists in the southern end of
the county we up here in the north are
only too anxious to remedy it, and are
sweating under the same goad.

PHILADELPHIA, January 3.-A warrant
was issued this afternoon for the arrest
OF Mrs. Schroop, wife of Jacob Schrcop,

OMAHA, January 3.-It was reported
here this morning that the Golden Gate
Special on the Union Pacific, which went
last night. was wrecked near Echo Cation
Utah. The report proves, on investiga-
ton, untrue. The story probably grew
out OF the fact that the "Overland FLYER

day coaches jumped the track. Nobody
was killed. Prof. Stark, of Cheyenne

ever becoming President. At the
next election Jackson received 647, ,231
votes to 509,097 for Adams, while he
carried even a greater proportion of the
popular vote. The result showed in q
striking manner how indignant the
American people are at any trifling with
their preferences.
While we have had minority Presi-

Adams was the only instance in our his.
tory when q man who had received the
highest popular vote was passed over for
an opponent who had been rejected by
the people. Our complex system of
government admits of such an anomaly,
but the people would never sanction it.
While Mr.. Springer is engaged in his
good work of remedying our electoral
abuses he might just as we'll introduce an
amendment to the Constitution con6ding
to the people Of the several States the
election Of their Senators by q popular
vote. If such change we're effected in
our organic law we should not be treated
to the spectacle Of 80 many Plutocrats in
the Senate. The millionsires of that
body are supposed now to number thirty.
In the heyday of its glory and influence
it never contained more than two; and
one of them, LOWS Cass, was q man of

THE LAST MAN TO CROSS.
a Physicians Story Of his Trip Over
the Niagara Bridge that was
Blown Down.

"I had not advanced far beyond the
Canadian tower. however. before I
realized from the nature of the swayiag
that something was wrong, but l was
exceedingly anxious to reach home and
so kept on. AS neared the centre the
swinging of the bridge from side to side
was something terrific, and to add to
the horror of the situation there was
likewise a heavy motion like the rising
and falling of ship in the waves, as
though the cables above were elastic.
Sometimes the bridge would seem to
tip up, as though one side was raised
by the wind while the other hung from
the 'suspenders.' and whenever this
occurred dropped on my hands and
knees for fear that I should be thrown
over the railing. The rest Of the time
clung to the railing as though it were
the only straw between me and certain
death, and worked my way along few
steps at time whenever there would
come slight lull in the gale. In sew
eral places this railing was bent inward
aud was IN constant fear Of reaching
some break.
ITO add to the discomfort and diff
culties of the trip, great volumes Of
pray fron the falls, mingled with snow
and sleet, were dashed at intervals into
my face. binding me and drenching my
clothing. At one point gust Of wind
more powerful than the rest seemed to
come swelling up from the water, and,
getting under my overcoat literally tore
it oren. Had 1 not been holding on to
the railing with both hands l believe
that garment would have carried me
away. Mingled with the whistling OF
the wind through the wires, when near
the center OF the bridge, I heard a
sound like the Tapping OF q broken
cable against the railing. and l believe
that it was here that the bridge first
began to give way. When I finally
reached the American tower. fully half
an hour after began the trip. was
wet to the skin. almost blinded, and
breathless. Nothing would tempt me
to go through the same ordeal again."

La it an Extinct Volcano?

The workmen engaged in tunnelling
the Red Mountain, near Birmingham,
Ala, few days ago discovered cave,
and afterwards a rock-walled room,
both of which all engineering expert
who examined them thinks are part of
the crater of long extinct volcano. A
despatch says: Some of the men start
ed to explore the cave. After a few
winding passages they came to an i'm
mense opening. the descent of which
was almost perpendicular. The pass
ages leading to it were carefully ex-
amined. The walls were of solid rock,
with only a small crevice here and
there. at one place spring Of clear
water was found. When first discOv-
eren a bold stream was flowing, but
presently it ceased. After an hour or
two it began again. At the beginning
Of these periodical spurts the water was
very cold, but it got warmer and
warmer, until toward the close it at
tanned the boiling point. 1t smelled
like sulphur.

Mr.. Whymper's Blunder.

Charles Whymper, the we'll known
engraver and animal painter Of London
told the following story few years
ago: II dined at Alderman So-snd.So's
last night, and as a mark of honor his
leldest daughter was assigned to me to
take to dinner. She's bright girl,
but the way she drops her 'h's' Is
,nough to make mans hair turn gray.
but 1 got along very nicely with her
and Lady Bletherington on the other
side, until the ladies were on the eve OF
retiring to the drawing room. The
IAlderman had but recently moved OUT
Ito Highgate; and was talking about
the beautiful scenery near the house,
.the views to be had from the windows,
the fine air, and SO on, when Miss -
suddenly said: Il think get prettier
svery day don't you?' What could she
mean? l didn't dare to answer her, so
[ said: Il beg your pardon-what did
you say?' Il said think I get prettier
every day. There was no mlstaking
her words, SO said: yes, indeed, you
get prettier, and no wonder in such
lfresh air and But just then she
caught her mothers eye, and with the
!other ladies she rose and left the room.
AS she went out she looked back over
her shoulder with such a whitening
scorn in her eyes that l knew l had put
my foot in 1t somehow. Then it flashed
upon me that bad misunderstood her;
she had dropped an h; what she had
said was not silly compliment to her
self-the sentence really was, Il think
HIghgate prettier every day." Mr..
Whymper was never invited to Alder
man So-and-So's again.
