TREATED RIGHT ROYALTY.
Philadelphia Hospitality Extended 10 Major
j. r. Dennistou.

RntlnOelp MA HOSPITALITY Exteuucd 10 NlnJOr
j. F. Denniston.
Major J. F. Denniston, Department Com
mander of Pennsylvania G. A. R., returned yes
terday from Philadelphia, to which he paid an
official visit on Monday. He was entertained
in the Q uaker City style of hospitality by Post
10, which gave an entertainment In the evening
at the Academy of Music, Broad street.
Before taking his tram on the return the
Major was inveigled into the theater. and by
some of the comrades steered into private
box, which he did not know was ornamented
with floral scroll containing the words, DE
partment Commanders box" A large bouquet
was placed IN front of the box, and when Major
Denniston was ushered in front of it his white
hair stood on end, making a sort of halo around
the head of the Pittsburg City Treasurer, which
he will probably not wear on the other side of
the pearly gates.
He made about four remarks and did what
he forgot to do in the COS. ran-to catch his
train-while cheers for Pittsburg and the De-
partment Commander almost shattered the
roof of the largest entertainment house in the
State, if not in the country. Post l9 is compli-
mented by the comrades of Pennsylvania for
its enterprise and hospitality.

SECRETARY NOBLE to-day rendereda decision
in the case of John NJ. Walker and others,
involving the question of the assignability of
the right to make soldiers additional home
stead entry. The Secretary decides the ques
tion in the negative. and says that by constru-
ing the soldiers homestead act as whole (the
only proper construction) it is clear to his mind
that Congress did not intend the privilege
granted to the soldier should be the subject OF
barter and sale or of assignment to another
In his judgment the right thus conferred is
strictly personal right. The decision is i'm
portant, inasmuch. as there are now in the
hands of assignees a very large number of
those additional homestead rights, the assign
ment of which the Secretary holds to be in
valid.

THE Senate yesterday made some radical
amendments to Senator Sherman's antitrust
bill the most important of which was to adopt
Senator Reagan's view Of applying it only to
trusts which take control of traffic between the
States. AS the trust which does not do that
must be a merely local concern. the bill as
amended will reach all the important corpora
tions, and will probably stand on a stronger
constitutional foundation for the change.

Mr.. CARLISLE thinks that an estimate
which he has made that Mr.. Lodges ballot re-
form bill will cost the country $4,000, 600 to
SIS, 900 every two years makes it ''too much
of a luxury" Is it to be understood that Mr..
Carlisle regards honest elections as a luxury
for which we cannot afford to pay as much as
we do for the Improvement of duck ponds and
logging creeksT

A Senatorial Order of Business.

THE committee of Republican Senators ap-
pointed to arrange an order Of business for
the consideration of the Senate held a meeting
this morning. The members were inclined to
adhere to the programme fixed last week, the
bills to admit Territories to the Union as States
now pending; and this will probably be done
with this addition. Members of the committee
believe that the time of the Senate for the next
six weeks will be fully occupied by the consid-
GRAFTON of the measures of the programme, to-
gether with incidental matters that will

IT is interesting to perceive that the force

IT is interesting to perceive that the force
of example is so strong that people are disposed
to object to examples that are inconvenient to
them. A Troy merchant who failed years ago
and paid fifty cents on the dollar has since paid
his creditors in full. A newspaper which
praised his conduct has since received a num-
Der of letters protesting against that view and
calling the man a crank. This discloses the
fact that people who have laid up money out of
failing, are afraid lest such examples should be
a suggestion of what they should do.

NO AGREEMENT REACHED.
Another Meeting Necessary TO Adjust the
Rates to Lake Ports.


Rates to Lake Ports.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHl
COLUMBUS, March 25.-The question of rates
on coal from Pittsburg and Ohio coal districts
to lake ports is still unsettled. But little was
accomplished at the meeting in this city to-day,
and another meeting is to be held at Cleveland
Saturday 1t is expected by that time there
will be sufficient concessions to effect an agree
ment. The question on which the representa-
tives cannot agree is the differential rate from
the Hooking Valley. Heretofore the rate from
the Hooking Valley to lake ports has been 25
cents per ton less than the rate for Pittsburg
coal.
The representatives of the Pittsburg roads
now want this differential abolished. and the
representatives of the Ohio roads have made
some concessions, but refuse to relinquish en-
tirely what they believe to he natural right.
The Pitrsburg roads are guided by the Pennsyl-
vania Company which has neen represented at
these meetings by William Stewart. general
freight agent. Stewart has taken positive
position and refuses to recede under instruc-
tions from higher officers. The committee
having the matter in charge will appeal to Vice
President Mccullough and report at Cleveland
on Saturday the results of their effort to har-
monize existing differences of opinion.

POSTMASTER GENERAL WANAMAKER to-
day received letter postmarked New York,
March "a, incloslng a 81. 900 United States gold
note and one $500 gold note, which the sender
desires him to place to the credit of the con-
science fund. The sender in his letter says that
years ago he defrauded the Government of quite
large sum of money. Since then the matter
has lain very heavily on his conscience, and as
he has made little money he sends it to the
Government. The $500, he says, is q per
cent over and above the amount taken. He
pities any thief, he says if he must pass
through the anguish of mind that he the send
er has. No name is signed to the letter. The
money will be deposited in the Treasury to-day.

THE order which is reported that any
persons entering the Cherokee strip will for
felt their homestead rights, is undoubtedly In
tended for laudable purpose; but it is of ex-

rights are conferred by law, and it is rather
hard TO see how the legal rights of man are to
be taken away by the order either of the Ex-
ecutive Department or much less by military

1t is hardly news that President Harrison
expects to be the Republican candidate for
President in 1892, even though it comes, as al
legged, from a brother-in-law of the President
himself. 1t would be news, indeed, il he did
not expect to be the candidate of his party for
a second term.
