Result or n Conversation.

The Boston Evening Gazette tells a
pleasant story about the son of very
prominent man. When no was a stu
dent at Harvard nc took q trip West on
one of his vacations. IIo was greatly
Interested in railroad affairs, and hap
pencd to fall into conversation with an
elderly man who also seemed to know q
little about this subject. On tho wav
to Chicago they talked about railroads q
good deal, and tho young man acquitted
himself very creditably. His new friend
had introduced himself simply as Mr..
Smith, let us say. Mr.. Smith and tho
young college man exchanged personal
cards before tho trip was ended. Short
ly before he was graduated tho young
man received Il flattcring offer from q
big railroad company, through it's presi-
dent, tho same Mr.. Smith, call him
again. That was several years ago.
That young man to-day Is rising rail-
road man, who has already climbed

shades Of yellow, which might DO de-

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July Crank
Terry, a Wells. Fargo & Co. Express
messenger, his helper aud a -baggageman
had a thrilling experience on a Santa Fe
train near Argentine, Yesterday, with a
mammoth zeal, which, with three Others,
had been shipped from San Francisco to a
geological garden in New York. The
animals were shipped in three large
wooden cages, well constructed and
strongly bound by hemp ropes TO doubly
insure against the possibility OF their
breaking out. The intense heat and alb
sence of water proved disastrous TO three
of them. The first one of the seals to die
was a female at Denver. On the train
between that point and Kansas City one
of the males went mad and attacked his
mate, killing her almost Instantly by
biting her head nearly off. He raved for
several hours, and the express messenger
and the other occupants of the car were
considerably frightened lest he break the
strong cage and escape. The animal
finally quoted down until Argentine was
reached. Then he became furious, and
raising himself on his foremost fms used
his tail with such force that he broke the
cage into pieces in less time, than il takes
to tell it. and then, bowling and shriekine,
made an attack on the express messenger.
The men at last made their escape through
the side door OF the car aud closed it
behind them. The seal ragged for about
FIVE minutes and then dropped down dead.
The remaining seal was carefully watered
here this morning and shipped on TO
New York.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The suudry
civil bill as reported to the senate today
by the appropriations committee carries
an appropriation of s3l. 24l $50. an in
crease of SO, lsl, O6O over the original bill
reported. : 6,552.l7 less than the esti-
mates and IS, 944, 1873 more than the bill
of last year. The most important feat
ure of the work Of the senate committee
on this bill is the elimination OF the ap-
preparation of $777. 500 for the irrigation
survey. This provision was vigorously
attacked By a number of western senators
and they succeeded in defeating it in com
mittee. This opposition was based
largely upon the ground that its effect
would be TO reserve from the public do
main a vast amount OF public land which
should be open to settlement. The ap.
preparation for topo graphical surveys by
the geological survey, however. is in
creased from 5000. 900 to $500, 900. 1t is
provided that half of this sum shall be
expended west OF the l0lst meridian, and
so much of the act of Oct. 2, 1888, as
provides for the selection and location of
reservoirs and canals upon public lands
and the reservation of irrigable lands is
repealed, provided that reservoir and
canal sites heretofore located or selected
shall remain segregated and reserved from
entry or settlement until otherwise pro-
yided by law.
