In an Excited Condition

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Advices from Brus-
sells represent that city as in very ex-
cited condition. The ministry is seri-
ously blamed for not permitting the
army reserves to go home. and the pop
ulace are crying ont for revision Of
the constitution and the esta blishment
of universal suffrage. At present the
franchise is confined to those who pay
lirect taxes to the amount of forty-two
francs a year, so that there are only
about rs, 900 electors in 6. OOO. 900 PEOPLE.
The people are agitated to such de-
gree that unless favorable action is

A swift match, and farewell

THE RAILROAD AGREEMENT.
Huntington and Gould Seeking n Colossal
Consolidation.

Huntington and Gould Seeking Il Colossal
| Consolidation.
NEW YORK. Feb. S-The Sun to-day
says: ut is an open secret among
| their immediate associates that al
though Mr.. Jay Gould and Mr.. c. p.
Huntington, representing respectively
the Missouri Pacific and the Southern
Pacific systems. gave their assent to the
new Western Railway Traffic Associa-
ton, that agreement did not win their
support.
1T did not 60 far enough to suit
either of them, but they accepted it as a
step in the right direction simply be-
cause it was a sort of compromise
measure upon which all the companies
represented at the conference at Mr..
Morgan's house could agree. 1t is to
the credit of Messrs. Gould and Hunt
ington that they not Only yielded their
personal views. but that they have
since entered into the spirit of the
agreement with as much, if not more,
earnestness than certain of their COM
petitOrs.
MIR. Huntington's remedy for the
evils of excessive competition is con-
solidation. His conviction is based on
experience. He has welded his inter
est into one great company-the South
ern Pacifc-over 1000 miles of railway,
forming a system extending from Port
land, Ore, 10 Galveston, with a
monopoly of the rail transporta-
ton on the entire Pacific coast.
Mr.. Gould's plan was the adoption Of
Joint agencies for the conduct of all
competitive traffic and the discharge of
the vast army of freight canvassers,
whose zeal is largely responsible for
the almost constant decentralization Of
rates. MIR. HuntingtOn's views were
considered too radical for immediate
adoption. MIR. Gould's plan was re-
ferred to the commissioners of the new
association.
''Since that association was formed,
neither of these railway managers have
been idle nor have they abandoned
hope of ultimately perfecting an ALI
ance between the railways west of the
Mississippi, which viii reduce the evils
of competition to a minimum. Counting
upon acquies.ence Of the managers and
stockholders of the Atchison company,
Messrs Gould and Huntington have
had their lieutenants prepare ex-
haustive analysis of the capitalization,
the indie btedness, earnings and mileage
of the Missouri Pacific. the Southern
Pacific and the Atchison systems. with
the view Of determining from them a
basis upon which the three systems
may be consolidated or brought under
the control of single operation. a
great deal of progress has been made
and the work does not lag because
Mr.. Gould is absent from the city.
Executive officers of the Southern Pa
cifc system have been summoned from
San Francisco to take part in the work
and it is trustwOrthily stated that Sem
ator Stanford has given his support to
the scheme. AS yet none OF the three
interests is absolutely committed TO the
proposition, but all have taken it up
with degree of earnestness that argues
strongly in favor of its adoption

Now what in the world will my lady says
My mind is in wild disorder
As tear the dainty paper apart.
When out falls a blood red velvet heart,
With row Of pins for border.
Well, pick up the pretty, useless thing
And love it, for here did her fingers cling;
Yet / can not choose but wonder
Is it an emblem, symbol true;
VIII she pierce n.v heart so, through and
through,
Till its depths are torn asunder!
1think how 4 harsh word hurts and stingS;
think of q thousand hard cruel things;
For one gains With love, and one loses.
Then think OF my dear ones sweet pure face,
And my heart again at her feet place
Let her plant there just what she chooses!
And her pin n-cushion-why. without doubt,
The pins were meant to be taken ou!
How blind have been, and stupid.
So this is the message she sends to-day:
She will take each sting from my heart away,
And undo the work of Cupid

On and after tomorrow the life of the

night; and the wbirr of the retreat Of the
chicken hearted snail be heard throughs

NOT little trouble has been caused re.
Gently by the new dimes which have been

Many of the coins have inperfectly

belief that they are counterfeit. Such is
not the case. however:
Cashier John G. Crafts, of the sub.
treasury, told reporter for the Chicago
Inter Ocean yesterday that the imperfec.
ton was due to the fact that all the mints
have been overworked during the summer
and the dimes turned out have rot been
OF uniform size or weight, owing TO the
haste in which they were made.
AT one of the Chicago banks it was
found yesterday that in a package con-
tanning 100 dimes. AZ of these imperfec,
coins were found. One from the New
Orleans mint weighed one-quar'er of a
grain more than one from the Philadelphia
