WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Henry A.
Phillips, of New York, chief of the mid
die division in the pension office, whose
resignation was recently demanded by the
commissioner of pensions. has written the
commissioner a letter, from which the
following extracts are maze:

-Four Of the best men of this office re-
ported that action in my case was in &C
cord with evidence on file in the case.
Why doesn't the secretary of the interior
give me an opportunity to defend my
oath, and by professional testimony tell

Passengers on n Broadway car the
other morning witnessed an interesting
5cenr. The driver was "a new hand who
had evidently been put to work in an
emergency and had not received all the
instructions hat a new hand requires.
The wind was blowing sharply in his
face and the passengers were glad to see
him put the lines through the handhole
in the door through which the conductor
collects fare from the passengers on the
platform.
This lone the new driver came in the
car himself, closed the door softly and
serenely and drove his team from the
inside of the car. He bowed right and
left to the passengers as he DOL up his
stand in the car and remarked pleasantly
that the weather was a little sharp, but
thanks for the kindhe7rtedness of the
company in providing this hole in the
door very much sharper weather could
be endured.
He was a sociable sort of man and
talked cheerfully to the passengers, the
chief point of his observations being that
there was a great deal of abuse heaped
upon corporations that was undeserved.
i take it as self evident, he said, that
a corporation cannot be soulless that goes
to the expense of cutting holes in a street
car door and lining it with brass, simply
that the driver may stand inside and
irive." He would nave said more, but
just then the conductor rushed in and
showed him out on the front PLATFORM

Serious Snow Blockade.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20.-The snow
blockade on the Central Pacific in the vi
cinity of Truckee and Emigrant Gap be-
came very serious. Since Tuesday last
no overland train has been able to
reach a point further west than Colfax.
At present east bound trains are at Sac
remento. Colfax and Shady Run. At
Truckse there is a depth OF snow from
eight feet to drifts of twenty feet. The
railroad company has several hundred
men at work snoveling east of town. A
pillow was only able to go one mile
when 1t stuck with ten engines. Shov-
elers were called to the rescue, and after
several hours work dug them Out so they
could return. Further west the road is
filled with drifts fifteen feet to thirty feet
deep. A pillow with five engines was on
the road thIrty-s'x hours trying to reach
the tunnel eight miles from town. The
whole crew returned on foot, having
abandoned the train, as they became raw
enous with hunger. Another pillow with
twelve engines started out to
clear the road to Sum init,
but before they had run two
miles they were securely blocked,
the snow falling back on them they were
fast in both directions. Passengers are
quartered at hotels by the railroad COM
pany. Yesterday afternoon it began
showing again heavily and reports from
blockaded trains at Enigrant Gap showed
the cleared portions of tracks were falling
fast. Railroad officials declare the pres
ent blockade lR the heaviest and longest
they have experienced for over ten years.

Do not the facts disclosed by our social
statistics cause it to appear that, in the

too far in our aim for material advance
ment and development of wealth, and
that we are correspondingly losing in

ture! Let US, then, initiate the prudence
of the railway engineer. and, though
seeking to retain the advantages " hich
are already ours, let us not be blind to
the visible defects inc besetting dangers
of our present system. Let us determine
the composition of the training of our
public schools; let us see if its parts are
well proportional and the compound

BosToN. Jan. 20 At a meeting of the
Atchison, President Manuel had his first
meeting with a full board, and made a
general report on the condition of the sys-
tenn and the result OF his recent trips over

the road more than fair, but the gulf road
needed improvements, and 100 miles from
Paris to Dallas would have to be rebuilt
with steel rails in place of iron. Presl-
dent Manuel found the local business of
the Atlantic & Pacific increasing, but
through business was not satisfactory. He

y curious incident occurred on lower
Broadway the other afternoon. A nan
who was walking along with the crowd
saw a friend standing on the steps of n
of the big office buildings and called TO
him. At the same time he walked
toward him and extended his hand. At
this particular moment the crowd had
been swept to one side and came march
ing right down upon him. The result
was that he was pushed, with his hand
still extended, some dozen feet away,
and presently found himself face to face
with a pretty young woman, who was
walking along entirely oblivious of his
existence. Both were naturally com-
PEELED TO stop, and the word ''Hellor'
was still trembling on his lips. She
looked up in a startled way and shrank
back, while he turned red us a lobster,
and, muttering an awkward apology,
withdrew his hand. The friend on the
steps was, of course, enjoying the scene
in the meantime.-New York Sun.

In the Senate

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Pasco ad-
dressed the senate on the paragraph in
the presidents message regarding cleo
tons. He says an attempt was to be
made to seize the electoral machinery of
states, the power of general government
over state elections having been sparingly
exercised in the past. The message OF
the president, he said had contained not
a syllable IN regard to free and honest
elections, except as to the suppression of
votes OF the colored people in the south.
There was no evidence before the country
OF any suppression. He presented some
statistics on different sections TO prove
that the silent voter is increasing in every
section of the countrys.
Chandler said there was one citizen of
Florida who might be termed a silent
voter and that man was John Burr, a
colored citizen of Madison county, Flor.
ida, who 10 October last, having been to
Jacksonville as a witness concerning polit
zeal outrages was killed on his return to
Madison county by Democrats of that
county on account of the testimony he
had given. He also reminded Pasco of
other political murders and outrages in
Florida. Pasco expressed the belief that
elections in Florida ever since the mem
orable one of 1876, were fair, peaceful
and quiet as in New England. 1t was
not surprising hat there was some ir.
regularities then because Chandler had
been one of the principal agents in
Florida. The election fraud in 1876 and
decentralization resulting from that had
not entirely disappeared.
The alluslon to his course in Florida in
1876 was taken up by Chandler, who de-
MED the charge hat he had then ap
preached the chairman of the state can
wasting board, and mad promised that if
the state was canvassed for Hayes a ma
iority of the board would be taken care of.
Ingalls, will not speak upon this subject
to morrow, but will address the senate on
the Butler bill Thursday.
After executive session the senate ad
iourned.
