Hearted M:ssouriau.
A queer scene was witnessed in one of
the Pullman coaches attached 10 the East
ern-b0und overland train Monday. 1t was
well-dressed young man of good appearance,
who had in his charge two little culored
boys, the elder not over five years of age.
In their case there had been no ''Obliteral ion

able signs Of being the SimOn-pure African

The young man said his name Is Harry
Carlock. and that he was en- route with his
pets" to Dadeville. Dade County, Mo. He
told story that has in it more or less ro-
nance. lie says that many years ago, when
he was little boy, a colored man named
Snaden came to Missouri and married COL
ored girl, then about 16 years of age, who
had been his Carlock's) constant companion
and nurse since infancy The Snadens came
Immediately TO California, and about six years
ago Carlock also came to this State and en-
gagged in business at Fresno. He had heard,
before leaving home, that the Snadens re-
turn to ''old Missouri" he determined to
take run up to that village and see the old
coiored woman who was his best friend
during his tender years. On arriving at
Chico, however, he found, upon inquiry,
that both Snaden and his wife were dead.
the latter's death having occurred recently,
and that she had left two little boys, who
had been placed in school founded by Gem

Young Carlock went to see the little ones,
and determined to give them home ON the
farm where their mother fist saw the light,
and where she spent her youth. Permis-
sion was received and they yesterday started
on their long journey.
When seen last night, Carlock was busily
engaged in tueking the little colored boys
into bunk. They are bright and polite.
and Carlock says the old folks will give
them just as good home as they will him.

4 Difficulty in the Way Of The NeV
Presidents Association.

NEW YORK, Dec 17.-Kiernan's Agency
has Boston special which says: The state
ment of the AtcbiSon for October will, it Is
expected, show net decrease of 500, 900. This
will signify very little beyond the generally
understood fact that the income for October
IN 1889 was exceptionally heavy. The re-
ports for all the Western lines in Octo-
her showed increases in operating. The
cost for October is said to have been consid-
crafty above the recent ayersGe.
The Commercial Advertiser editorially
says: Perhaps the most serious difficulty in
the way of the new Western Railway Asso-
citation is that it seeks TO accomplish ends
formerly reached by the pooling system,
without resorling TO the methods of that
system. That Is to say, the rates will be
fixed for all the roads on the same basis. but
without any arrangement as to the division
Of the traffic. 1t Is difficult to see how rail
roads can be satisfied which, by the short
ness Of their route or the superiority of
their equipments, enjoy distinct advantages
over their competitors.

WASHINGTON. Dec. II. - The morning
hour having expired without anything of
Importance having been done, the Senate
resumed consideration of the Elections bill,
and Dolph resumed his speech of yesterday
upon the subject. Dolph held it 10 be the
duty OF Congress. with malice toward
none and with charity for ALL" to exercise to
the fullest extent its powers under the Con-
stitution to secure to every citizen of the
United States, native or foreign born, white
or black, rich or poor, the free exercise of
all his rights under the Constitution.
Eustis said he would put question to the
Senator from Oregon, and would ask a
frank answer. The question was ii the i'm
migration of Chinese had not been proiib-
tied. if there we're a million and half
Cinnamon in Oregon who had the right of
suffrage and who established in Oregon
Chinese State Government. and if the peo-
pie Of Oregon had overlhrown that Chinese
Government and re-established white politi-
cal supremacy, would he Dolph), in such
case, advocate the passage of law by Con-
gress, the intent and effect of which would
be to encourage, stimulate and sustain those
Cinnamon in their effort to recover their
political power?
Dolph said that was precisely the argu-
ment of man on the Democratic side Of the
chamber
Eustis-Will the Senator answer my ques-
tion?
Dolph-I am not going to be Interrupted.
Eustis-But l request the Senator from
Oregon TO answer my question.
Dolph-l will answer it in my own time,
but will not stand up to be catechised. Isim-
ply tell the Senator from Louisiana that his
proposition is preposterous The Chinese
do not usk to become citizens of the United
States. But l will tell the Senator from
Louisiana that the people Of Oregon will
never raise hand against the Government
of the United States. They never will fight
against the flag of their country.

question answered more directly. but with

Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE preliminary
was sent to the Senate to-day by the Secre-
tary OF War. In a letter accompanying the
report Secretary Proctor states that it may
be advisable to establish, at no distant day,
gun factory at some point on the Pacific
Coast of sufficient capacity to supply the
guns required for the armament of the
Coast. Secretary Proctor further says it ap-
pears from the report that there Is as yet no
plant ready on the Pacific Coast equal to the
manufacture of large gun forgings, but capi-
tal seems ready to take hold, and has already
begun to locate itself with this object in
view at more than one point.
a commission was appointed by the PreSi-
dent. consisting of three officers of The army,
and they were directed to inquire into the
facilities for producing steel forgings for
nigh power guns on the Pacific Goa st. and
In the vicinity of the Indianapolis Arsenal,
Rock Island Arsenal and some point near
the Gulf Coast and the advisabity of erect
Ing gun factories for the assembling of
guns for fortifcation purposes.
Regarding the Watervliet factory, the re-
port states that it is believed the limit of the
present capacity and the time required to
complete armament. either with the existing
facilities or with those which would be
added by the completion Of the Watervliet
factory, is too long. A factory should be To-
Gated ON the Pacific Coast to furnish the
guns required for its defense, but the board
does not consider it advisable at this time to
recommend the erection of third factory at
The Rock Island Arsenal, at Indianapolis or
on or near the Gulf coast. The board esti
mates that it will take s349, 600 to establish
plant on the Pacific Coast for the manufact-
ure OF high-pOwer guns, and for machinery
and tools S1.l35,20o. making total of
S1,4S4, 200.
