WINDOWS IDEAS.
he Defends His Silver Bill as Best for
All Glasses.

WASHINGToN, Feb. 24-Secretary Win
dom was before the house committee on
coinage, weights and measures today for
the purpose of having an interchange of
opinion on the subject of silver coinage
with members of the committee. He de-
clared that his bill was framed to meet in
the best way he could devise the present
financial situation OF the country and he
disavowed all Of the charges that the bill
was a mere makeshift, that its aut hor did
not believe in it and that it was brought
forward to defeat some other measure. He
said he was really strong friend of silver,
although some people did not think so and
he was anxious for some measure that
would enhance its value. He then
defined the sections of his bill.
In speaking of the objection that the bill
made commodity OF silver and degraded
ii from its high use as a rnoney metal, the
secretary thought this was centennial
objection. His purpose was not to de-
grade silver, but to bring ii up as nearly
as he could to an equality with gold.
There was no doubt that silver of late
years had deprecated in value and gold
had appreciated. but in bis judgment the
present bill would be remedy for that
trouble. He was convinced that the mea-
sure would meet all the needs of the situ-

the country and would alb
sorb the surplus OF silver and there
by put no its price certainly and
rapidly. He wanted 10 meet the situation
in "A conservative manner In answer to Il
question by Representative Conger, Mr.
Window said there would not be any rea-
sonable objection TO including gold in the
first section OF the bill To benefit the
interest OF the silver producer was not the
only motive in the bill He believed in
aiding everybody affected by the bill He
thought, he said, that the wheat raisers of
the country were more interested than the
silver people, for the farmers were heavy
losers on account of the depression in sill
Yer, and the operation of this bill would
tend To raise the prices of farm products

reduce the price of silver below its present
value. The present bill would increase the
circulation of the country TO the extent of

The Beauty Of an Egyptian Landscape.

1 can hardly describe the besuty of an
Egyptian landscape. There are no fences
and the farms and fields are separated only
by the character Of the crops and the canals
There are no barns or houses In the fields,
which are SO small and SO rich in their crops
that they make the whole country look like a
vast garden. Everything grows like the fa-
nous gourd of Jonah. The patches of clover
bend their heads over with the weight of
sweetness, the cotton in the next patch bursts
forth in its pods OF whiteness, and beds of
heavy green point out the rich coming har-
vests cf beans. There are 7ery few trees to
be seen, only here and there cluster OF tall
palms marks the site Of mud farming vii
lage, and grove Of date trees reminds you
that you are in the tropics.-American Agri-

ACCORDING TO VALUE
Bill to Amend Interstate Commerce Acts
in Favor Of Necessities.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Pad
dock introduced today in the senate bill
to amend the interstate commerce act.
The bill is intended to provide relief for
the farmers in the west, who are unable at
present to market their crops on account
of the high freight rates prevailing on the
long haul, and which the railroads claim
they can not amend without demoraliza-
tion to all all-haul rates under the inter-
state act. The bill provides that the long
and short haul clause shall be amended SO
that in case of any investigation for an in
fraction of that section, the commission
ers shall be obliged to consider the cost
of transportation and facts and circum-
stances bearing upon the market value of
the product, and that if it appears that
the product is one of the necessaries of
life, sucn as grain or the products of grain,
and that upon it justly lower rate is in
despeusible in order to enable such pro-
duce to be transported to the market, that
such transportation rate, so far as the long
and short haul clause is concerned, shall be
considered an exception to the general rule
indicated in section of the Interstate
commerce act, and that the commission
shall make 3n order accordingly. The
amendment also provides that long haul
for such product within the meaning of
the amendment shall be fifty miles or more
by the route over which the freight IS
actually transported.

EXtiDSlished by Bees,

Two or three years ago, as Queen Victoria
was journeying from Balmoral to Windsor,
the royal train was stopped by something,
the like Of which had never before happened
IN any railroad mans experience.
The signal man at a certain junction had
lighted his lamps, and everything apparently
was safe for the passage Of the royal train.
AS the train approached, however, the en-
gineer noticed that one Of the signal lights
had been extinguished, and instantly brought
the engine and cars 10 standstill.
On inspecting the lamp it was found TO

they had put out the light, by which they
