A resolution has been adopt3d
by the Virginia Legislature
requesting the representatives
in Congress from that State TO
aid the passage IF the bill be-
fore said body authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury to
loan money to farmers at . per
cent interest.

money from farming are not
the ones who work the hardest
or the most hours alone, but
those who in addition manage
with the greatest wisdom.

EsCAPING A MAD DoG.-"If people were
only taught half so much about the way to
avoid mad dogs as they are about sua-
stroke" eaid O6icer Mulvihill the other
day, I'VE would not often hear of a case of
hgdrophobe. A good thing to know is
tina. msd dog never turns aside from the
course be is zunDing to bite anybody. So if
one is right in the path of a rabid animal be
can get out of all danger b3 jumping to one
si6e and out of the path OF the dog. But If
it is absolutely impossible to get out of the
way, the man or woman should stand per-
fectIy still! and faca the dog. He will turn
aside then himself and run in 8 different
direction, while if the person in front Of him
screams and runs away, as nine out of ten
will, the dog overtake and bite the victim. OF
course it requires courage to stand still and
face rsbld dog, terrible as this animal
always looks, bus the result elbows that the
real danger lies in taking fight.

PERHAPS PuRposELY cHANsEp
The Alteration In tho Tide Ian NH
1879,

4 responsible Lower Sound paper con
tanned this morning a rambling history
of the act of 1873, giving the Seattle &
Wnlln Walla Railroad and rransporta-
tion Company title to tide lands in front
Of Seattle, the discovery of an alteration
in which caused such big sensation
last week.
Speaking OF an amendment purport-
ing to have been made in the senate and
concurred in by the house, this paper
says The history of tho bill is given
to show that the bill was amended, in
what particulars no one here knows, in
as much ~ the word was published
commeoedl in the laws of 1878 and
has been so published ever since without
remark and without question"
This is not the Wow that is generally
held concerning the change, however.
Miss Mary a. o'Neal, OF this city, was
enrolling clerk OF the house in lS73, and
enrolled the bill in question. An effort
has been made By some to shoulder the
responsibility for the alteration upon
her. In reference to this, she said to-day:
II have examined the bill at the secre-
tary's office and am positive that | did
not make the alteration. The hand
writing OF the added letters is not in my
handwriting. With the aid ola glass
detected tho long stroke of the letter
'p,' which evidently belonged ~ the
word completed
Hon. Francis Henry, of Olympia, was
member of the legislature OF 1878, and
with Miss " Neal compared the enrolled
bills with the cngrossed copies. Heslid
to-day; 81 have no particular recollcc-
ton of the bill. ! have examined II,
and find that the enrolled bill has un.
doubtediy been altered by orasure and
by changing tlic word completed to
'eoinmeced,' which was evidently in
tended for commenced Tho letters
'mecod' appear to have been written
with a. different pen and ink from those
used In the rest OF the bill,
| carefully compared the al.
tered letters 'meced' with
the other words ending In etI, and while
lind that the added letters arc smooth.
er and closer together than the same let.
tcrs occurring elsewhere In the bill, they
are still of tho same character aud struo.
turc, AMI am not prepared to say the
correctiona were not made with the same
hand which wrote the enrolled original
bill.'
The statements of Miss O'Ncal and
Henry show plainly thai an alteration
was made in the act. No one doubts
that.

RUSSIA'S RAILROAD
From st. Petersburg to the
Pacific Ocean,
WILL Be BEGUN At ONCE.
It Will Divert the Most of the
Chinese Trade From the
United States.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-A st. Peters
burgh correspondent of the Tribune
writes; "a iinal decision has at last
been reached by the imperial govern
ment regarding n trans.sihcrian rail-
road. Tho work of construction will he
begun Mt once and pushed vigorously
TO completion. Surveys have been
made ofsuihcient accuracy TO determine
the most practicable route; and u also
indicate the cost and time required for
the enterprise.
General Annakon, builder of the
trans Caspian road, reckons the entire
line to Nladivosiock will cost less than
$500, ,0OO, ,0O0, and through trains from the
Baltic to the Pacific can be run within
five years from the beginning. A high
ly important consideration w this mat
ter Is tho colonization Of tho country
along Am0or risor. Besides vast
agricultural possibilities this region
is exceedingly rich In precious minerals,
and for yenrB II has been known to con =
tain some Of the richest deposits OF gold
In the world and vast stones and gems
have also been taken from the mines.
All this region and products belong to
borders on the northern part of China
and the boundary line Is all un guarded.
The result Is that the Chinese swarm
across by thousands, and are really
securing the lions share Of the spoiis.
There is still another immense adj
vantage to be secured to Russia by the
construction OF this railroad. and thar Is
tho trade Of tho Pacific ocean. At pres
cnt, this traffic goes to Europe, almost
exclusively by English routes. The
Northern Pacific trade Is carried across
20 America by the Canadian ahi United
States Pacific railroads, and is shipped
TO Europe by the Atlantic hncs.
The trade of the central part Of the
coast tinds its way 10 Europe, by
English routes, through the sunz canal.
With the opening up OF China and
Japan, and tie commerce of this trade
is enormously increasing in importance,
and Il Is 20 capture q portion Of IL
that Russia now aims.
Tho Pacific terminus Of tho road will
be at Vladivostock. There will pres
emily bo running u rvad from Sotne I'oint
In China ~ Viadiyostock. which will
