railway Row in Cbioapo.

CHICAGO, April 25.-The Illinois Central
took forcible possession last night at mid
night of the strip of land ON the lake front
leased for ten years in 1874 for freight yard
by the Baltimore and Ohio and which the
latter company has since refused to yacate,
claiming right to renew the lease. The iii
nois Supreme Court few days ago decided in
favor OF the Illinois Central. Owing to sup
posed resumption of friendly relations be-
tween thetwo roads, it was thought no trouble
would ensue, but when the Illinois Central's
attorney and staff suddenly put in an appear
ance and demanded the removal of two Balti-
more and Ohio engines and thirty-six cars in
the yard the Baltimore and Ohio employees
refused to comply without orders from head
quarters. The attorney at once set number
OF Illinois Central engineers and men to work,
and the Baltimore and Ohio rolling stock was
elected instanter, leaving the Illinois Central
In full possession of the disputed territory.

Our artist does not, of course, pretend that
the hying-machine he portrays on the first
page of the supplement to-day embodies q
practical application of the new facts in aero
dynamics which Professor Langley has dis
covered. He has approached the subject of
aerostatics in the spirit of the social nformers,
as Professor Langley did in the spirit OF the
pure scientist. The artist, like the savant,
leaves the practical application of the prin-
ciples of flying to the inventor, but he has to
offer few suggestions as to possible ways in
which the result of the inventors labors may
be made useful to the people of this commu-
nifty by removing nuisances. And as
it is evidently the artists wish
that the tail pieces of the flying
machine should be permanently removed
from this present sphere of perncious activ-
lty, he seems to imply lurking suspicion
that the flying machine of the future will share
the fate of some of those Of the past and never
be heard of again after starting on its first
journey. But this should shake no ones
faith in the correctness of Professor Lang
ley's theories. Artists are often scoffers, who
know nothing Of the slow but sure methods
of science and with anything but scientific
attitude of mind.

selves unable to maintain order in the strike

permit such dangerous organization as the

Under the new reciprocity treaty with Spain
the people of Cuba will get American -four for
several dollars barrel less than they have
heretofore been paying for it. But the Ameri-
can people, under the Mckinley act, will con-
tinue TO pay higher prices than ever for their
Cuban tobacco and cigars. This looks good

Severity of La Grippe.

CHRIsTIANIA, April 25.-Infuenza, other
wise the grip, prevails with great severity
here. Over 5000 persons have been afflicted
with the disease. During the past fortnight
growing worse, and the death rate has in
creased 10 per cent. A number of schools
have been closed, the theatres are deserted,
and the staffs of the police and postal depart

to the number Of employees on the sick list,
suffering from the influenza.

Now that the dull summer season is com

special regret by newspapers that love to feed
their readers on wild and weird romances.
Although it may be the mind which in cold
sanity invented the colossal yarns that have
from time to time gulled the country will be
able to perform even more wonderful feats In
that direction when slightly frenzied.

Cure OF Deafness
And Discharge From the Ear.
FROM MIR. T. e. ROESSLE.
Proprietor of the Arlington.
"THE ARLINGTON"
Washington, d, c., March 6. 1890

"THE ARLINGTON"
Washington, d. c., March 6, 1890.
MY DEAR Doctor LIGHTHILL:
1t gives me great pleasure to state that you
effected remarkable cure of deafness and
discharge from the ears in the case of my
cousin, Marcus c. Roessle, and that the case
has proved as permanent as it was radical.
l feel sure that without your skillful aid my
cousin would have been a deaf man all his life.
Knowing of other cases in which you have
been equally successful, cheerfully give you
leave to refer to me at any time, and hope
that your practice in Washington will prove a
distinguished success. Yours truly,
T. E. ROESSLE.

The Pittsburg Dispatch declares that the
Republicans cannot renominate Harrison next
year except on the theory that they do not
think it worth while to try to carry the cleo
tion. If the Republicans want to make the
fight on a reciprocity platform, the Dispatch
says Blaine must be the candidate. If they
want to make it on straight protection, then
Mckinley is the man. Meanwhile President
Harrison in his rear-platfom speeches has evil
IDENTITY been trying to straddle both the reci-
procity and Mckinley high-protection nags,
but he does not perform this great feat of po-
litical equestrianism with grace and conf
dence that threaten success.
