SOMETHING OF A SCHEME.
Run,ors of an Agreement Between the
Manitoba and Union Pacific.

MaudNOUd anu union racine.
CHICAGO, Special. President Charles
Francis Adams, of the Union Pacific, has
been West for the last two or three weeks,
and before returning to Boston last Saturday
held a conference with James ]. Hill, presi-
dent of the St Paul, Minneapolis & Mani
toba. It is learned from good authority that
the two presidents talked about The con-
summation of traffic arrangement, whereby
through rates may be made from the Pacific
coast and points on the Union Pacific to Du-
lush via Sioux City, aud vice versa. The
Union Pacific has lately completed an ex-
tension (the Norfolk branch) to Sioux Ci.y.
President Hill, Of the Manitoba, is under.
stood to be anxious to make traffic ar
rangement with the Union Pacific to take its
traffic. or a large proportion thereof, over
his line from Sioux City to Duluth, and to
obtain this object is said to be willing to
make such low rates, or proportion OF rates. as
as the Illinois Central cannot touch. Mr. Adams
takes kindly to the scheme, because it will
afford his company the opportunity to take
advantage at Duluth of the low rates offered
by the Canadian Pacific Duluth, South
Shore & Atlantic) to Boston. and the Lake
Superior steamship lines to Eastern seaboa ard

that the reason why President Adams has

THE pARNELL COMMISSION.
AAhE EAnNELL SOMMfSStON,
Michael Davitt Continues His TESTIMONY
In Regard to the. Land League.

While public interest in the Parnell inquiry
has tagged and but few except Irishmen have
listened to Michael Davitt's evidence, there
can be no doubt that not even the evidence of
Parnell himself has had greater influence on
the commission. Frank as was the great leader,
he has not made any such blunders as the latter
did. Perfectly free in the expression Of his
own opinions and open as to his course in the
past, he has scrupulously guarded the safety of
his friends and associates. His denunciation,
undoubtedly sincere, of all criminal and dis
honorable methods of carrying on the agitation
produced good effect. coupled as it was with
his avowal of his desire for Irish independence.
THE LADIES LEAGUE BOOKS.
In his examination yesterday. in reply 70
questions, Mr.! Davitt said he did not know the
whereabout of the books of the Ladies' league.
He was also ignorant as to the manner in which
the E70, 900 that had passed through tine Ladies'
league had been expended The Fenians' black
list, he said, was list of persons who had been
expelled from the organization. either for steal
ing funds or for blackguardly conduct, He
thought the best means of lettering men from
crime was to discover the real criminal when
the law had been violated
DOWN ON ISFoRMERs.
He considered that the Widow Walsh acted
nobly in sacrificing her son rather than turn
informer. 1t was noble act to sacrifice the
life of an innocent person rather than turn in
former. Acknowledgement Webster re-read
extracts from the Irish World. Mr.. Davitt. in
many instances, said he disapproved the senti-
ments expressed in the articles quoted. He
thought the expression of such sentiments was
injurious to the Irish cause.

WE ALMOST GOT 1T.
The Bidder of ''L'Angelus'' Had no
Money, but Rothschild Paid 1t.

The New York Sun Paris special saws:
America almost acquired possession Of Millets
"LAngelus" yesterday in spite of the Louvre Q
bid OF $50. 900 francs at the Secretan sale on
Monday. The fact was that Proust. who bid for
the government. did not have anything like
500. 600 francs to bid with. and when Challioner
the auctioneer, asked for the money, which was
due on Wednesday, it was not forthcoming
Ali day Wednesday Proust and his lieutenant
rushed from one patriot to another for money,
and not having raised one-half the sum at
night, Challioner sent TO Sutton, of the Ameri-
can art association, to ask him to take
the picture ct his bid of $4,000 francs
Sutton had already advertised in the Temps his
willingness to give 10000 francs to the poor of
Paris if allowed to take "L'Angelus" at the
figures at which it was bid off for the Louvre,
and his delight at the new turn of affairs knew
no bounds. But before he could get to Chal-
lioner with a certified check high officers of the
government had induced the auctioneer to wait
until 9 O'Clock yesterday morning before MAX
ing the painting over to the American. Sutton
was ready at 3 O'Clock. but in the meantime
Rothschild had been induced TO give his check
for the entire amount on behalf of the govern
ment, so that L'Angelus' Is now irrevocably in
the possession of the French nation. Sutton
came over here to buy "LAngelus"
for America. and if he cannot buy it he
is going to try to do the next best
thing by borrowing it. Accordingly, he to-day
laid before Proust scheme whereby he offers
to exhibit 'LAngelus" in New York this
autumn at the Barge exhibition, which viii be
given for the purpose of erecting statue to
Barge in Paris. Sutton offers to make over
half the proceeds TO Millet's widow, who is now
living in extreme poverty at Barbizon, thus
proving that the Americans have no monetary
motive in their desire to exhibit .'L'Angelus'
in their own country. Proust has been assured
that request for the loan of the painting will
be made to the French government by Presi-
dent Harrison on behalf of the United States
government. and he is inclined to consider the
matter favorably, though his decision will not
be made known at once.

SULLINAN,s ALIBI.


The Chicago 7Sibsoae stated yesterday that
an attempt was being made at an alibi IN behalf

RESTORING HIS YOUTH.
DIR. Brown-Sequard Claims 10 Have
Solved the Great Life Problem.

The Courier des Eats JInis publishes an ac-
count of the most startling discovery Of the
age-n the facts are as stated. DIR. Brown
Sequard is Claude Demands successor in the
College de France and one of the most emf
nent specialists in nervous diseases in the
world. He is president of the Biological So
ciety of Paris. At the last reunion Of that
body, few weeks ago, the venerable old scien-
fist, bowed with seventy-;wo years OF existence,
rose and in slow, firm tones. addressed his coll
leagues thus:
Gentlemen, I believe that hereafter the
question of preserving yoRthfulness eau be
studied and solved by what science has gwen
u.s."
DIR. Brown-Sequard then went on to say that
TRANSMISSION OF blood had not solved the problem
of rejuvenating age. The blood is a great dis
trlbutor of oxygen 10 the organs but the or
gans themselves are the repositories and trans
formers OF forces. Then" DIR. Broyn-Sequard
continued, IF into a man old or feeble the
living cells of young and vigorous being could
be injected, why should he not yibrate in
unison with this fresh hfe which peryades
him SO Intimately"
Twenty years ago DR.. Brown Sequard adj
vaneed this view in a lecture before the medi-
cal faculty of Paris. Since then he has devoted
himself 10 constant experiments on old animals
On the 18th or last May, believing that he had
arrived at a convincing proof of his view. he
chose himself rs the next subject for expert
ment. This latest searcher for the fountain of
youth and the well-spring of life obtains his
panacea in this way: He takes from young liv-
ing animals-such dogs and pigs-certain
organs. These, still palpitating. he casts into
mortar and brays. The trituated organs are
then commingled with distilled water and the
liquid is filtered
After this elixir was thoroughly clarified Dr.
Brown-Sequard administered to himself a GU
BIC centimeter with a hypodermic syringe,
just as morphine is injected. The doctor de-
clares that the day following this experiment.
after two injections of this vital essence, he felt
himself transformed. Up TO that time half an
hours work, standing up in his laboratory, ex-
hausted him. Now he declares that Re can
study three hours uninterruptedly without the
least repose. His appetite has increased. his
sleep Is sweet and refreshing. his stomach per-
forms its functions admirably and lis intellec-
tual labor is performed with wonderful ease
and clearness. His feelings also, have become
youthful.
DIR. Brown-Sequsrd declared that the dose he
took was equivalent TO ten years regeneration.
Truly Pascals remark seems true. that 1.-The
mind tires Of conceiyiDg before science wearies
with supplying"

Driven Crazy by q Dream.

From the Philadelphia Record.
One of the officials in the Broad-street station
was startled on Monday noon by Q handsome
young lady, who tapped him on his shoulder
and asked: SIS this the safest road to heaven ~
The young woman persisted that she was in
search of the safest road to heaven. and had
been told that the Pennsylvania railroad was
one of them. She began a rambling sort of q
story about her wings and other celestial top
les, but was interrupted by an elderly lady and
young man, who led her away. They said she
was Miss Moibe Robbins, young Chicago lady
OF wealthy family. She had lost her reason
because OF dream about the bursting OF the
Conemaugh lake dam, imagining that her be-
trothed was swept away by the food Curiously,
her dream occurred during the night preceding
the Hood. The gentleman whom she believed
TO be lost Is alive and now in Johnstown-
whittier she was being taken by advice Of .
physician, who suggested that the scenes in the
wrecked town and the meeting with her b.
trothed might restore her reason.
