THE RAILROAD BILL.-The new Rail-
road Bill in the hands of the Alliance Com
mittee and the Kent Bill introduced in the
last Legislature. do not differ materially,
the spirit and object of the two being the
same. The principal differences in the
bills are these: 1st. Whereas the Kent
Bill provided that the commission should
be appointed by the Governor and confirm
ed by the Senate, the new measure contem
plates that they shall be nominated by the
Governor and elected by the joint vote of
the two houses of the General Assembly.
ID. While under the Kent Bill litigation
would have been confined to the Chancery
Court of the city of Richmond, under the
new bill, suit may be brought in any Cir
cult Court within the jurisdiction of which
the cause for action may have arisen.
The new bill retains the provision that
the commission shall have power to fix
reasonable rates. If & railroad contend
that rate is unreason 'ie and cannot up
on representation of the fact to the COM
mission, secure oorrestien, the company
can carry the matter into the courts. The
court may then in its discretion sustain the
commission, change the rate to what the
company considers reasonable, or fix rate
itself. and its decision shall be binding up
on the commission.

Under the above heading the Van.
Couver. d. c., World of late date has an
extended notice of the private excursion
to Alaska in which Rock Island is largely
represented.
On two special Northern Pacific cars
attached to the express from the east
the following ladies and gentlemen, who
constitute private excursion party
bound for Alaska, arrived here today.
This party is under the Oh ~ eronsge o
Mr.. c III Davis a we'll known st. Paul
railway man. With the exception of one
or two. all the gentlemen in the party are
lumtermen, amongst their number being
F. Weyerhauser, of Rock Island, who is,
according to all accounts. the richest
lumberman in the world.
In CONVERSATION with one OF the tourists
World reporter learned that the trip
out from Winnepeg had been a most de-
lightful one. The only place where the
pleasure was in any way married was at
Bsuff. and the cause OF the complaint
was that the Raymond Whitcomb Alaska
excursion party had engaged all the hotel
accommodations in sight. The Davis
party were, therefore, compelled to stop
on their cars. On their return from
Alaska they go home BY way of the
Northern Pacific and Yellowstone park.

WOMEN AS CONDUCTORS.

A Radically New Role for the
Fair Sex-Wiu She soon Wear a
Uniform and JeI X the Bell Punch.
Since the innovation of the street car
conductor in Rock Island, along with the
other features of modern convenience
and conf ort, which the TIL city syndi-
cate has provided anything that tends of
the nature of street car etiquette will be
read with more or less interest. The
Chicago Tribune of Yesterday contained
an extended notice, suitably illustrated, of
the probability of the introduction OF
lady conductors on new line of cars to
be introduced in the metropolis before
the opening of the worlds fair. in which
was stated:
Women as conductors! That means q
revolution 10 street car etiquette. The
sex that has long suffered from man s
rudeness and domineering ways will now
have chance 10 get even.
Women. pretty young women with
tight fitting. braided jackets, and jsunty
little caps, could not De rude under any
circumstances 1t would be unbecoming,
hence out of the question.
"We do not propose to man our cars
with lady conductors simply to create q
sensation" said James L. Dyer yester.
day. Mr.. Dyer is the designer of the
new Columbian coach which it is prom.
Used will soon be familiar feature OF
street scenes in Chicago.
Lady conductors are a necessity to
us owing to the city ordinances" he con
tinued. There is an ordinance to the
| effect that no vehicles can be run on the
boulevsrds unless there be lady
aboard. I suppose the object Of the old
nance was to keep the boulevards fol
| pleasure riding. and to secure this q gen.
tleman is supposed to be out riding with
| lady.
will you secure the hsndsomest wo'
men you can find for your conductors?
1--WE won't have any homely ones i
we can help it," said Mr.. Dyer with {
wink. There is no reason in the worlt
why woman should not engage in the
legitimate occupation of street car con
ductor. There are women lawyers. wo
men doctors. women clergymen; womer

"Our cars will be fitted up in palatial
style, fit for the occupancy of snV lady,
and we shall maintain them as such"
Don't you apprehend criticism of your
new idea?'
"Of course. but we will see that our
women conductors m aintain their proper
decorum and turn in all the nickels in due
form Women have m ere sense than they
are ordinarily given credit for"
Mr.. Dyer does not think it will be
necessary to put in conspicuous places

No young woman will be accepted as

against the smiles of the other sex.

RIO DE JANEIRo, November "a. -
The insurrection that hao been smould-
ering in this city for several days broke
out yesterday, the navy leading in an
open revolt and demanding the resig
nation Of Da Fonseca. Finding resist
ance useless, Da Fonseca announced
that he would comply with the demand.
Intense excitement prevails. A riot
ous crowd has destroyed the offices Of
two government newspapers. Senior
Peixotto is forming d government.
A deputation Of naval officers waited
on Gen. da Fonseca to-day and stated
that his acts as dictator had created
profound dissatisfaction among the
people Of the country, and that if he
refused to accede to the popular re-
quest for his resignation they would
not be answerable for the consequence.
After short interval General da Fon-
SEGA issued manifesto announcing
his resignation Of the presidency Of
Brazil in favor Of Floriano Peixotto.
President da Fonseca stated in his
manifesto that his determination to re-
tire from Office was taken for the pur-
pose Of averting civil war.
The army is quiescent, and has made
no move since the latest developments
in the changing politics Of Brazil have
been announced.

Especial to TnE Womb
KINGSTON, ONT., November "a
David Allen, an Englishman, who lived
in Waynetawan District, started out
a month ago to examine his traps, but
failed to return. On the supposition
that he had lost his way, the forest
was searched ten days without result.
The mystery surrounding his fate was
accidentally solved by two hunters who
chanced to look into copse Of bushes
and there saw Aliens dead body lying
face downward, both hands fastened
in a bear trap.t
Allen was evidently in the act of
setting the trap, when it closed upon
his wrists with vice-like grip and
held him until he died Of exposure and
starvation.
