make much pretense of obeying, it mani
festly should not be cast aside without
pressing reasons. On the face OF the
proposition it is only 10 suspend that rule
In cases where necessity exists from the
competition of the Canadian railroads.
But if it is suspended on part OF the
through traffic, it will have to be sus-
pended on all; and the alleged retaliatory
character of the measure is sufficiently
estimated by the fact that it will make no
difference to the Canadian railroads
whether the clause is suspended
or not Other parts of the bill proylde
effective retaliation; but the Canadian
railroads competed for Northwestern
traffic before there was long-and-short-
haul clause just as actively as they now
do, and they will continue to do so If that
clause is abrogated.
The real motive for this provision is the
constant plea of the trunk lines that the
clause gives the Canadian railroads an
advantage in the through competition.
This claim as THE DISPATCH has often
shown is utterly fictitious. The trunk
lines of this country have large, if not
larger, amount of traffic exempt from that
restriction as the entire traffic OF the
Canadian railroads, which is not reached
by our law.
There is no likelihood of Senator Hig-
gins bill becoming law at this session,
but these facts should be borne in mind
when the bill comes up next winter.

A LAND-GRABBING BILL.

The announcement is made that an effort
will be put forward during the closing days
of the session to rush to passage the bill
for the removal of the Utes from their res.
ervation in Southern Colorado to the
mountains of Utah. The friends of JUS
tice and good faith in dealing with the In
dians should be on the alert to defeat this
job
The measure is simply one to get pos
session of the fertile territory where the
Utes have already advanced far in the
peaceful arts. Since the Colorado BOOM
ers want this land, the Utes must be ban
ished to the rocks and barrens of Utah, re-
gardless of the treaty pledges by which
they were guaranteed their present pos
sessions, without caring for the fact that
they have cultivated their reservation in
peace for many years, and without any
memory of the time when the Indians on
this reservation maintained order and
brought back the northern branch of the
tribe to submission after it had broken out
into bloody insurrechon. If the United
States Congress has any conception of the
value of honesty, good faith and public
gratitude in public dealings it will en-
phatically squelch this land-grabbing
scheme

PHILADELPHIA, July 19.-Clement A. Girls
com, President of the international Navf-

day, has completed negotiations with the
British Government whereby the steamships

were held liable for service in the aux

of war, and were compelled to fly the En-
glish flag, remain under an English register
and be officered and manned by q British
crew. These steamers will be Immediately
admitted to American register, and will
hereafter fly the American flag. They will
be Offered and manned by Americans and
will be practically American ships.
In compliance with the terms of this act,
double the foreign built tonnage admitted
to American register must be built by the
owner or owners of such foreign built ships
in American shipyards, and upon Mr.. Girls
com's return the details of plans for four
American-built ships of the same tonnage

PHILADELPHIA, July 19-"When's my nom.
mer tomin'f"
A tear-stained tot of girl has been hsping
the plaintive question every little while as
she wearily waits for the fond embrace OF
her mothers arms in the police station at
Fourth and York streets. Since Saturday,
when tho waif was found wandering in the
streets, the child has been cared for at the
station. house.
The hours have slipped by, but no loving
mother has appeared to claim her recreant
offspring. No anxious friends have asked

inkling of the little girls identity.
"My names Tatie. Mommer dot lost.

That is all that he learned from Katie's
lips She is clothed IN an old blue dress with

Similar cases as this are rare. Parents
usually claim their children within q short
time after they are found by the police.

Fifth and Chestnut streets a woman from the

THE CHILE SETTLEMENT.

The settlement of the Valparaiso in
'demnity question by Chile's payment of
SIS, 1000, to be distributed among the fami-
lies of the two seamen who lost their lives
and the surviving members of the crew Of
the Baltimore wounded on October 16, is
highly satisfactory. The announcement
is all the more gratifying in that only a
few days ago the assertion, supposed to
have come round by way of Santiago, was
made that the United States Government
was preparing to press the claims made
by the men amounting to two million dol
lars when the time is ripe" The DIS
PATCH has time and again shown the un-
just and excessive nature of those claims,
and the folly of giving them the Govern
ment Endorsement without reducing their
amount
Judging from the date at which the offer
was made by the Chilean Government, it
would appear that the rumor was nothing
more than canard. But whether or not
there has been change made in the posi-
ton taken by the American Government,
the actual arrangement of the matter as
now made is more in accordance with
common sense and justice than the sug-
gested intention to demand the exorbitant
payments as set forth in the claims of the
survivors. The cordial acceptance of the
sum received is one of the most creditable
features of the diplomatic transactions
growing out of the deplorable incident.

WASHINGTON, July 1a-The officers Of the
Fish Commission steamer Albatros, By the
expenditure of $50 and freight, have So
cured for the Smithsonian Institutio Gu

awaited by the officers. 1t Is on its way
here from the Commander Islands, in the
western part Of Boring Sea, and is the skele-
ton OF sea cow, nearly perfect, and the
nnest that has ever been obtained. This
animal was discovered by Behring'S expedi-
tfon in l74l, and has since become extinct;
the last specimen having been seen in 1854.
When full grown 1t weighed as much as
5000 pounds, and its flesh is said to be very
like beef. 1t was about 80 feet long and
measured 20 feet in girth. 1t had a small
and toothless head and rough hide, like
tree DARK, which was more than an inch in
thickness, and so tough that the hunters had
TO chopft with axes. Probably there were
not more than 5000 o. the beasts at the be-
ginning. They were slow in reproducing
tnelr species, and the last of them was killed
IN 1867. They were nearly related to the

NEW YORK, July 19.-Chief of Police John

"Wbat's that2" he muttered, as he beheld q
young man and pretty girl hugging and
kissing just across the street.
"Can't be brother and sister," said Mr.. Nc
Kane to himself. "They are too much in
earnest. Here, you two" he yelled, as the
pair sat down on the curbstone and started
to hug and kiss some more. But the twain
never moved. For Il quarter of an hour they
embraced and kissed each other, never
minding the crowd on the street.
1t made the chief angry. "Well, I'll stop
that" he said, dispatching one or his trusty
reserves to gather in the affectiopate couple.

said lie was Alfred Cannon. of l06 East One

city. Ella solemnly declared she had known
"Alfy" all her life, and had not seen him
in more than year, SO she ielt ut liberty to
embrace him. "Alfy" said he could not
shake the girl of, and had to submit to her
caresses.
"Well, Miss Kissing" said the chief "you
are rightly named. but you must go home.
As for you, Cannon, you'd better go with
her, or there'll be trouble"
That is the reason the couple reached home
earlier than they were expected.
