CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-The board rfoom-
missiouers of the Western Traffic A,so-
citation today published a decision involv-
ing the celebrated Union Pacifc-North
western contract. This is the rock upon
which the Interstate Commerce Railway
Association split, but it is not likely to
cause any serious trouble TO the new asso-
citation.
The matter came up on an application
for a change in divisions of the traffic in
terchange at Omaha and Council Bluffs.
The board decided hat it was not author
lied to change relations existing on Jan.
81. This in effect declares the legality of
the Union Pacific Northwestern contract.
Competitors of the Northwestern are
not at all satisfied with the decision, but
at present see no way Of helping them
selves.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Feb. 20
Pueiacantes, eK governor of the Acoma
Indians was brought here today by Dep
uty Sheriffs Recca and Sanchez, of Val
enca county. and will be confined in Lost
Unas jail. He Is charged with assault
with intent to kill one of his subjects. 1t
is a time honoIed custom among the
Acomas that any Indian who refuses to
obey the governor shall be severely
whipped. Pucjacantes ordered one of
the Indians brought to him for disobey-
ing the orders. He was bound by the
legs and arms, tied to the stake and 100
lashes applied to his naked body until
blood gushed from numerous cuts. The
treatment was severe and the Indian al
most died. Finally recovering and with
ing under mis- cruel castigation, he went
before a justice Of the peace, tJld his
story and the ex-governor's arrest fol
lowed. The courts will no doubt make
an effort to stamp u the barbarous prac-
tice of the Acomas.

supposed to have been drowned. The
Wells family, consisting OF a man, wife
and babe, were drowned at Quart, and
the bodies of two Mexicaus were found
in the same neiehbornood. A. Laurens
was drowned at Wilmington. The worst

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-In the
course of general debate. Funston of
Kansas, in charge of the agricultural
appropriation bill, and B%utterworth of
Ohio had a tilt which greatly edited the
other members Of both sides. Funston
said if Butterworth had taken as much
time to forwarding his anti.option bill as
he had to drawing his salary as secretary
of the worlds fair directory, the measure
would now have been passed.
Butterworth charged Funston, as chair
man of the committee on agriculture,
with neRlecting the interest OF the
farmers. Mr.. Funston had not moved
in the direction OF the consideration of the
anti-option bill. but bad stood trembling
like an aspen Leaf under the frown of the
speaker.
Hatch of Missouri deplored the coudi-
ton of the farmers. He then made a
speech in favor OF free coinage and a re-
duction of taxation. and criticised the
majority OF the committee on agriculture
for not acting on the anti-optIon bill. He
denounced the Republicans for throttling
great national measures.
Cannon having suggested that they
could pass the anti-option bill next ses-
sion, Hatch retorted that they would pass
it next session and every other bill that is
constitutional and demanded by the peo-
pie.
After considerable further debate. the
committee rose without disposing OF the
bill

SEEKING A SOLUTION
FOR THE WAY OUT OF THE KEYSTONE
BANK DIFFICULTIES.
A Consultation of On1cials Held, but no De-
cision Arrived At-Four Heavy Stock
holders Ready to Act-The Amount of
Philadelphia's Deposit Not Known.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCB.!
PH1LADEL PH1A, March 21.-The Key
stone National Bank is still closed. Bank
Examiner W. P. Drew was about the first
person to reach the institution this morning,
and an hour later President G.. W. Marsh
arrived. The bookkeeper was called
into the Presidents Office, and for
about 20 minutes the three persons
were in consultation. When the conclave
was ended Mr. Marsh was asked about the
present condition of affairs. he said:
"There has been no material change. We
have been endeavoring to overcome the
present difficulty, and think that within a
few DAYS we will have good news for all
parties concerned.
"There are only two ways, however, of
bringing about resumption. One way is
to obtain sufficient advancement of funds
from the stock holders to warrant the Comp
troller in allowing the resumption. The
other way is to realize on the banks
assets in order to reach the same
result. MY opinion is that it is
fer better to obtain additional funds from
the stock holders. Four heavy stockholders
have come forward and said they would
stand by me in any course we might con-
scientiously choose to adopt in trying 10
bridge the difficulty.
ssMy experience as President Of the bank
teaches me that the head of q large financial
institution should be a man OF wealth. As
1 am not possessed of wealth am perfectly
willing to retire from the presidency when
the present trouble is ended"
Treasurer Bardsley was seen this after
noon with reference to the deposit OF the
city's money. He said it would be i'm
possible to tell the exact amount in the
bank until Monday or Tuesday next. He
admitted placing an extra $50. 900 in the
bank on Thursday afternoon, in excess of
the S40O, 900, but added that he had given
out checks to withdraw part of the amount,
and until there was some certainty as to the
number cashed, he could not tell just how
matters stood.

What Happiness Consists OF

"Wealth can only bring happiness" said
Andrew Carnegie, sin the sense that it
gives US greater opportunities of making
others happy. Great wealth is a sacred
trust which the man who possesses it should
hold and administer to the best possible ad-
vantage for the benefit of his fellowmen.
The truest happiness, indeed the only
happiness in this life worthy OF the name, is
to make others happy, or at least, by i'm
proving their condition in some way to
make them happier than they otherwise
would be. When we have exhausted every
other so-called pleasure, that of bringing
the look of joyful surprise to the eye and
the words of grateful happiness to the lips
of others remains perennial.
'The ways in which a wealthy man can
produce such gratifying results are numer-
Gus and selfevident. Wealth will enable
its possessor to feed the hungry. clothe the
naked, endow free institutions of learning.
establish free libraries, found hospitals and
do countless other good works. 1t will en-
able him to entertain his friends amid pleas
urable surroundings, and thus help them to
the enjoyment of some happy hours. With
his riches he can purchase and give to those
he loves the things of this world that their
hearts most desire. In this way, and this
way only-in the power of making others
happy that it confers-can wealth, per Sc,
ever bring happiness"
