WASHINGTON, Feb 26.-The report OF
the committee on railroads favoring the
construction of a continental railroad
was adopted by the Pan-American coll
greSs to-day. The report recommends:
That railroad connecting all or the ma
j0rity of the nations represented in that
conference will contribute greatly to the
development of the moral relations and
material interests of the SAID nations.
That the means best adapted to begin
and carry out its execution is the. APP
pointment of all international commits
sion of engineers to study the possible
routes, determine their true length. and
estimate their respective cost and COM
pare the reciprocal advantages. That
the commission should be composed of
three engineers appointed by each ma
ton with the privilege of dividing into
subc0mmisSiOnS, and to appoint as
many other engineers and employees as
might be considered necessary for the
more rapid execution of the work. That
the railroad. in SO far as the common
interests will permit, should unite the
principal cities lying in the vicinity of
its route. That if the general direction
OF the line cannot be altered without
great Inconvenience, for the purpose
branch lines should be surveyed TO con-
meet these tiles with the main
line. That existing railways shall
be utilized as far as is
possible and compatible with the route
and conditions OF the cor tinental rail-
road. That the construction, manage
ment and operation of the line should
be at the expense of the conceSSiOners.
or of the persons to whom they sublet
the work or to whom they transfer their
rights, with all due fOrmaities, the
consent of the respective governments
first being obtained. That all materials
necessary for the construction and
operation of the railroad should be eX-
empt from import duties. That all per-
sonal and real property of the railroad
used in its construction and operation
should be exempt from all taxation,
national, state and municipal. ! hat the
execution of work of such magnitude
observes to be further encouraged by
subsidies, cessions of land, Or guar
antics of minimum of interest,

A Mans Idea OF Home Comfort.
Percy We're, IN March Ladies' Home Journal
A man wants some one place in home
that he can call his very own, some por-
ton of the house where his will is law,
where no conflict of authority can arise.
This is not altogether for the purpose
of securing solitude, tor his family is
usually most welcome there, but the
need for it springs from the desire for
that sense of prOprietorship which is
his habit abroad, and from the wish to
be able to do precisely as he pleases in
at least corner of his own house.
Here should be the comforts that the
man deviSes for himself, the
lounging chairs. the desk and
library, his smoking materials
with license to use them. Here he
should be able to feel absolutely at his
ease, troubled by no fear of 'tmussing
things" no need to thread his way
anxiously through maze of furniture
and various decorative Instructions,
trembling lest something should be
overturned and broken land there should
be the seat of that admired disorder to
which he only has the clue. His books
and papers should be left as he leaves
them. though to the orderly female eye
they seem to lie In hopeless confusion.
His desk may be Uttered with piles of
books, magazines, letters, manuscripts,
everything that can possibly find place
there, but If a woman wishes to secure
to man one of his most cherished
home comforts. she will let that desk
alone.

Reading Stockholders Want the
Voting Trust Dissolved.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 90 A petition
addressed to the court of common pleas
of this city, praying for the dissolution
of the voting trusteeship of the Reading
Railroad company and the removal of
Austin Corbin from the presidency
thereof, was circulated here to-day, and
a number of signatures were obtained,
Some of the Signers had large interests
in the railroad, and their views, it is
thought, will have considerable weight
in court. The petition says: We desire
that the voting trust in the shares of
stock of said railroad company be
declared lmpracticable and void, and
that the voting trustees shall
be ordered to assign to the
number of shares respectively held for
them. If the court shall not decree this
belief we desire that the position of
Austin COruin, as voting trustee.
shall be declared vacant, because of his
being largely interested in the shares
of rival and competing railroad COM
pany. viz: The Central company of
New Jersey; and we further ask that it
shall be decreed that the election of
Austin COrbin to the presidency of the
Philadelphia & Reading company be
declared invalid for the reason that he
is one of the voting trustees, and that
as such voting he voted himself into
said presidency. John j. Johnson, the
attorney for the anti-Corbin party, is
understood 10 be engaged in the prepa-
ration of the necessary papers to be
used in the proceedings looking to the
removal of Mr.. Corbin from office, and
the opponents of the latter declare that
they will go into court with the major
ity of the stockholders at their back.

EARLY IN THE FIELD.
Boomers Invade and Camp Upon
the Cherokee Strip.

ARKANSAS CITY. Kan. Feb. 3d.
Cherokee boomers" continue to arrive
here in large numbers, and the banks of
the Walnut river, from this city to the
Indian territory line, are dotted with
tents where the chalmers will make
their temporary abode, pending the OPEN
ing of the Cherokee strip to settlement.
Thirteen families arrived in prairie
sciiOoners from different parts of the
country yesterday and went into camp.
They were Joined by about seven fami-
lies more. and these taken together will,
with all those already on the ground,
make quite formidable array of
''boomers." A number of the heads of
families were interviewed to-day on
the motives that induced their early
arrival on the ground. All disclaimed
any connection with secret organiZa-
ton, whose object it is to occupy the
strip by force OF arms as soon as the
presidents proclamation ejecting the
cattle men goes into effect. They
say they can live here very cheaply by
hunting in the territory. and at the
same time tramp all over the ground,
observe the choicest localities and be
ready to move on to them as soon as the
land is given up by the government TO
settlers. The boomers seem to be CON-
posed mostly of thrifty families anxious
to acquire homestead. Their early
arrival and the numerous accesSions to
their ranks Indicate that the rush into

TROUBLE over IOWA RATES.
Jobbers Want Them Reduced and
Railroad Managers Protest.


railroad Managers Protest.
DIES MONIES, To-, Feb. 26.-There was
a great gathering of prominent railroad
men here to-day to object to any further
reduction in rates by the state commits
sioners. The jobbers were represented
by President Torbert, of Dubuque, and
several other prominent wholesale men.
The situation briefly stated is this:
The recent reduction in the interstate
rates had permitted shippers
in Chicago to put their goods
in Iowa towns at less rate
comparatively than the Iowa jObbers
could deliver them; hence the demand
that the state rates be cut down to cor
respond with the reduction in inter-
state rates. The jobhers presented
their side first. Mr.. Wilde, secretary
of the state association, thought that
the through rates across the state should
equal about 90 per cent of the through
rate from Chicago, and that should be
the basis of the rates. A sample of the
petitions asking for reduction in the
rates was read by the commissioners
and also sample of protests that had
been received. The latter said
Iowa rates now were lower than
local rates in any adjoining
STATES ana were as low as the
roads could afford. General Manager
Ripley spoke at some length in behalf
of the interstate roads. He urged
against airy further reduction of rates
and said that the trouble was being
stirred up by jnbbers at the Mississippi
river points, who have formerly received
illegitimate advantages, and now were
placed Oh an equal footing with the
JoDberS at the interior cities Receiver
Gilchrist, of the Fort Madison IL
Northwestern, spoke for the Iowa roads,
protesting against lowering their rates
any more. He said they had hard
enough work now to make their ex-
penses. Mr.. Torbert closed for the job
bers. showing how much capital was
invested in the interest represented,
and asking only fair play for the ship
pers as we'll as the railroads. The com
missionerS took the case under advise
ment, and will give their decision later.

to depend for happiness upon the fat
teries of men. 1t is poor compliment
to your sex that so many men feel
Obliged in your presence to utter un-
meaning compliments. Men capable of
elegant and elaborate conversation else
where sometimes feel called upon at the
door of the drawing room to drop their
common sense and to dole out sckening
batteries. They say things about your
dress and about your appearance
that you know. and they know, are
false. They say you are an angel.
You know you are not. They tell you
that 'you are looking singularly beau
tiful this evening"" when you know
very we'll that the remark is onlya COM
monplace one. Some men think that a
conversation with woman is interest
ing only as it is dotted and spicrd with
batteries and meaningless compliments.
Determined to tell the truth in Office
and store and shop, they consider it
honorable to lie to a woman. The same
thing that they told you on this side of
the drawing room, three minutes ago
they said to some one on the other side
of the drawing room. On, let no one
trample on your self-respect. The

build her happiness is the batteries of

Made Cardinal.

MONTREAL, Feb. ga priest in at
tendance at the archiepiscopal palace
has received an intimation from a priest
in the Canadian seminary at Rome of
the elevation of Archbishop Fabre to
the cardinalate. The story is that GER
tain influences are at work in Rome to
secure new papal decree to estab-
fish Catholic university in Mon
treal on an entirely new basis, on the
assumption that the proposed amalga-
nation between the Laval and Victoria
universities could not be realized. 1t is
claimed that the general of the Jesuit
order has promised to give his influence
to the new scheme. 1t is assumed that
the task of opening this new university
is to be confded to the Jesuit fathers.
There is at present bill before the
Quebec legislature. providing for the
amalgamatiOn of Laval and Victoria,
and if it fails the new university Will
probably be established here, and to
mark the event Mgr. Fabre will receive

company to build road from 10th
bridge, by way of Fort Mcleod, to the
summit of Crows Nest pass and thence

Sir John Macdonald announced that the
government objected, for the present,
10 giving any railway a monopoly of the
pass. because the district had not been
thoroughly surveyed, and the pass is
believed 10 afford the only means of ac-
cess to British Columbia for many hum
dreds of miles. The bill was amended
so as to give the company permission to
run ia the direction of the pass to a
point to he hereafter determined by the
