To Vote on a Car Coupler.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The question of
car coupler has been long before the inter
state commerce commission, and much
testimony heard, no two witnesses agree
ing as to which coupler was best and safest
to handle. Cullom introduced bill in the
senate yesterday providing that the rail
way companies vote on the question, one
vote being given each company for
each freight car in use, and each
train man being also given vote.
The coupler receiving the highest number
of votes in excess of 10000 is to be ac-
cepted as the standard. If no coupler re-
ceives 100000 votes then the matter is to be
decided by commission of five experts to
be appointed by the president

NEW YORK. Dec. lG.-As Officer Wilbur,
of the West Thirtieth Street station. walked
mp Broadway he saw a man raggedly
dressed pounding on the main entrance of
the Metropolitan Opera house. The man
did not appear to he intoxicated, but he
was talking aloud. When Wilbur got
within few steps he heard the man cry:
@What no. within there! Let down the
drawbridge."
Come, move on said Wilbur
The man turned, and with troubled
air said: Good morrow. sir. ACt thou
the seneschal of the castle? Is the good
Sir Edward at home? At the main portal
here. they let not the drawbridge down.
Art thou the guardian of the gate:"
The Good Sir Edward Had Moved.
"No. sir: Tm the guardian of the peace" :"
replied the officer, "and / want you to
move on"
NAY. good man. unhand me. Such
conduct is unhecoming of thee. The good
Sir Edward will not warrant such action.
"That may be" said the officer as they
walked down Broadway, but Sir Edward
does not live there any more That draw
bridge is out of order and has not been
opened since the king died. Sir Edward
lives in white house on West Thirtieth
street now, with green lights in front OF
the door.
He Wanted His Coach and Four.
The man appeared satisfied with this ex.
planation and walked to the station house
quietly. There he gave his name as SiI
Hubert Waldron, and called upon the mas
ter of the household to announce his arri
val. "And whittier wend we now oul

WASHINGTON. Dec. I6-The Chinese EN-
pire has officially notified The state depart
ment that it will take no part in the
Worlds fair. The emperor holds that il
his subjects are good enough to come to
the Columbian exposition they are good
enough to be admitted to the United States
at all other times This ultimatum was
delivered to the state department through
Minister DENLY. Mr. Hitchcock, repre-
sentating tle exposition. has been working
hard to persuade the-empire to take part in
the fair.
Would Humiliate Cinnamon.
At the final conference held between the
commissioner and the Chinese authorities
the emperor made known his position. The
emperor's grounds for declining to send an
exhibit are that the United States has dis
criminated against the citizens of the en-
pire and that the Chinese could not come
TO the exposition without being put in the
humiliating attitude of needing special
passport to be granted by special act of
congress.

against womsn's suffrage has been re-
pealed. Renewed laughter and ap-
plause.
"When I come into this home OF

PITTsBURa, PA, September 5.-Hen-
~ Dannenberg, of Wheeling, legged,
pelted and dressed two calves yester-
day afternoon at Exposition park in six
minutes and twenty-five seconds, de-
feating John Born, the champion.
Between four and five hundred
spectators witnessed the contest, and
betting was pretty lively with Born as
the favorite. Dannenberg was the first
to take the platform, which had been
erected on the field little to the right
of the home plate. Two headless calves
was wheeled in and flung on the plat
form by the helper.
j. Y. Beilstein was referee,
Ed f. Peter Sine keeper,
Elmer Z. Shaner scsre keeper for
Dannenberg, VIM. Baeder time-keeper,
and John Lippert Score-keeper for Born.
At the word Dannenberg set to work
rapidly and gracefully.
When he finished all the watches
stopped at six minutes and twenty-five
seconds. His time was remarkable,
breaking the record, which was nine
minutes and held by Born.
After a short interval John Born ap-
peared in slaughter house attire beside
a wheelbarrow containing the lifeless
forms of two calves. He stepped upon
the platform and began TO work nery-
oasly as the word was given. When he
had put the calves in marketable shape
eight minutes and twenty-one and one
half seconds had elapsed.
Dannenoerg was declared the winner.
Old butchers say they have never seen
a cleaner piece of work done in so short
a time. A great amount OF money
changed hands. There were quite a
number of Wheeling people at the con-
test, and they were enthusiastic as his
partiSans and bet their money freely.
Dannenberg and Born are the same
gentlemen who contested in Wheeling a
few weeks ago, at the Butchers Asso-
citation picnic, at which time Born de-
feated Dannenberg, though his work
was not nearly so clean nor skillful.

INDIAN AFFAIBs.
The Commissioner Presents His Annual
Report.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 5.-The
sixtieth annual report OF the Commits
sioner of Indian affairs has just been
submitted to the Secretary of the lnte-
rior.
After alluding to the increased inter-
est in the Indian, the Commissioner out
lines the policy of the Government In
its dealings with the Indians, emphasiz-
ing Justice, frmness, and humanity as
the essentials.
He thinks the great forces now at
work, land in severalty, with its accom-
panying dissolution Of the tribal rela-
ton and breaking up Of the reservation,
the destruction of the agency system,
citizenship and all that belongs thereto,
will accomplish their beneficient ends.
The report discusses the political status
OF the Indians.
The Commissioner says it is time for
Congress to declare that 1t will not
recognize the Indians as competent TO
make war, but that they shall be treat
ed as subjects capable of insurrection,
or disturbance, but not Of waging war.
He says: II submit that it is time for the
Indians to have protection and privileges
OF the courts. Also for the five civilized
tribes to be allowed to form State gov
ernment and be represented on the
floors of Congress. While it is possible
to push the reduction of the reserVa-
tion too rapidly, the ultimate destruc-
tion of the system is inevitable. They
should be protected in the permanent
possession of all the land that is neces-
sary for their support, and whatever Is
ceded by them should be paid for at its
market value.

ANOTHER BANK
Suspands Payment Closes Its Doors
and LiquidateS
BECAUSE OF A VERY HEAVY RUN
q Isrss Days-Tho Failure Of the HOukdals and
Clarified Banks Caused All the Trouble
Nothing Crooked is Charged but There
is q 6rsat Lack Of OonfdnCe-
Other Bank MATTERS.

PmLLRsBURG, PA, October 5.-The
PhuHpsburg bank closed its doors to-
day, announcing that on account Of the
continued demand from the depositors
it was deemed best to suspend payment
and 90 into liquidation. The cashier
stated that he firmly believed all de-
posits would be paid in full.
PhillipSburg is only a short distance
from Clearheld and HOutZdale. Ever
since the Clearfeld closed and the
Houtzdale bank failed the Phillipsburg
Institution has experienced an unpre-
cedented run. The miners and their
friends first took alarm from reports
from HOutZdale, and began an open
onslaught on the local bank, gathering
there in line and steadily drawing their
deposits of $500 to $1,000 without a
word of comment from either side.
The bank stood this pressure easily
and paid out thousands within the last
three banking days.
Then the heavy depOsitOrs took
fright and began quiet checking OF
their balances which resulted in the an
pouncement OF to-day. The President
OF the bank is Jonathan BOyntOr,
iather-in-law Of President Dill, Of the
Cearheld and Houtzdale banks. The
effect Of the suspension cannot now be
estimated. Dlstrust is everywhere and
confidence nowhere.
This being the center OF coal inter
ests in the region, and great amount
OF cash is required daily and an unpre-
cedented strlngency is now reported on
every side. IL is feared many private
individuals and concerns will go down
in the general crash that seems immi-
nent here. There is but little excite
ment now that the first fear has Quieted
down, and even the Huns and SlavS are
quiet tonight, all awaiting the results
OF the present investigation into the
three banks now closed.
