Carnegie to Amuse Himself.

PIrrsuRe, May 1e.-Tbe proposed con-
solidation of the Carnegie interests will
be backed by about $40 900 900 and will
employ from $4,000 to IA, 600 men. The
capital stock will be $25 ,OO0, 900. Andrew
Carnegie will continue the largest stock
holder, but will turn over the. manage
mentof the whole thing to Henry c..
Frick. The intention of Carnegie is to
devote the remainder of his career to
spending his millions in artistic, social
and other directions, and it is likely he
will take more active part in political
affairs. In addition to their iron and
steel interests, Messrs. Carnegie and
Frick control 20 per cent of the coke
trade, or about $18, ,OO0, 900.

"A Talk with Hil1.

WAsHINGroN, May 16. Senator Hill
says THE statement that I intended
to sound an alarm in the senate against
the present proneness of the democratic
party to the excessive. expenditure of
public funds is absurd. From what I
have learned, by keeping my ears open,
believe James G. Blaine is the only
man Harrison and his friends fear.
The fact of the matter is, Platt made a
great mistake is not holding mid-win-
ter convention, Referring to the sharp
criticism upon the, omission of Grover
Cleveland's name from the platform of
the New York state mid winter conyen-
tion. Mr.. Hill said: "Why, T should
like to know, should the convention
have mentioned the name of Cleveland? /?
The convention of neither party has
been in the habit of dragging in OUT
siders in that way. So far as the reason
ableness of the.thing goes, the conven-
tion might as we'll go back few years
and commend the administration of

one of the Conferrees.

WAsHINeToN, May 16.-It is settled
that Senator Dolph will be one of the
conferrees in the river and harbor bill,
and this position will probably give him
power to retain in the bill certain appro-
priatians which he has secured, includ-
ing the dalles boat railway scheme.
Dolph is confident he can hold this PRO-
ject. 1t is not known who the other re-
publican conferree will be, Senator
Washburn, of Minnesota, may be
selected. He is Objectionable to some
people, especially of the Pacific coast, as
he does not look very kindly upon some
of the increases which have been made
by the senate commerce committee.

But Were a Little More Guarded Than
We're President Eliot.
STEAMERS PROMISED FROM HERE.
Sections Join at Huntington---Finest
Portion of the Trip Down the
Columbia.

SALT LAKE CITY, May 16.-The first
section of the delegates to the Presby-
terian General Assembly in Portland,
reached this city Saturday evening and
retained their berths ON the train, but
took their meals at hotels, res
taurants, and with friends in the
city, leaving today for the west.
During their stay here, the Mormon
heierarchy assigned the famous taber-
nacle to their, use, and furnished choir
of five hundred voices for the singing.
This is said to be the first time the
building ever was offered for nom Nor
mon gathering. The delegates were on
their guard little more than President
Eliot was, so as to avoid expression of
opinions that might be criticised.
President Eliot proved that it will not
do to say too much for the Mormons.
Supper. will be taken in Huntington to-
morrow night at Z o'clock. where the
second division, which laid lover in
Omaha yesterday, will overtake them.
Early Wednesday morning, will find the
train in the Blue mountains of Oregon,
then along the Columbia river, the
southern bank of which will be descended
from Umatilla, passing Cello, where the
mighty river is set up on edge and so
narrow that one may easily throw
stone across it, and arriving at The
Dalles, where breakfast will be served at
z 30 a. m. By special arrangement,
steamers will be provided on the upper
n, h, f,,,1 ko1~ = or -. )
the descent of the river occupy the day
until about 4 o'clock. Such as desire
may remain in the cars and go on to
Portland, arriving at II M, Wednesday.
1t is unnecessary to speak of the interest
which will attach to the descent of the
Columbia, through the chasm left for it
in the Cascades. Mount Jefferson and
Mount Hood south of the river, and
Mount Adams and Mount st. Helen
north of it, all snow-capped, the basal
tic cliffs along the shore, and the many
other scenic wonders of river more
majestic than the far-famed Hudson,
will combine to make this an eventful
day. Concerning this trip Rev. Arthur
J.. Brown, d. D., pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Portland, in
which the assembly is to meet, writes,
your plan for the special train out
here by way of the Columbia river
scenery impresses nae most favorably.''
Mr.. w. S. Mason, mayor of the city of
Portland and chairman of the general
assembly excursion committee, and Mr..
A. A. Morse, secretary of the committee,
say without hesitation that the route
down the Columbia river would be ad-
yisable, and I know that your people
will think it the trip of their time,
from The Dalles.''

RUNNING TWENTY MILES AN HOUR.
The Iron Monsters Meet with a Roar
Sounding Above the Storm.
cARsz SMASHED INTO K1NDLING.
The Dead and Wounded Being Removed
from the Wreck.---Miraculous
Escape of Bony Keefe.

CLEVES, o., May 16.-1n the midst of
a terrific storm of wind and rain, two
Big Four trains crashed into each other
at Cleves yesterday morning with an
awful effect, the full horrors not vet
known. Freight No. A, north bound,
was ordered to stop at North Bend to
allow No. 80, the cannon ball special Ito
pass. The summer schedule went into
effect yesterday and under the old
schedule the trains passed some miles
further on. Instead of stopping at
North Bend, the engineer pulled ahead
and approached Cleves, running at the
rate of twenty miles an hour. AS the
train appeared, Charles Smith, the tele-
graph operator, rushed to the signal
wires and put up the danger signal.
Either it was not seen or the engineer
could not control the engine, for the
train sped on. At the same moment
the express came into sight, and the
iron monsters crashed into each other
storm. Both engines were battered into
q shapeless mass and rolled off the track.
The cars behind were smashed into
kindling, and the track for hundred
feet was, torn up; telegraph poles were
broken, and it was two or three hours
before notice of the wreck was sent out
and a special train sent to the scene
from Cincinnati. People from the vii
lage and surrounding country gathered
and did all they could to rescue the
wounded, many of whom were taken
away. The number cannot be definitely
stated tonight. 1t is claimed some of
the wounded are in dying condition.
Not person on either train escaped
uninjured. With the arrival Of the
special train, the work of taking out the
dead began. A most miraculous escape
was that of Bony Keefe, freight brake
man, who had just reached the top of
car when the collision occurred, was
thrown over telegraph wire, forty feet,
into stream of water, which saved his
life. He thinks there are three tramps
under the wrecked freight. Several
passengers on the express train are posi-
tive several of their number were also.
killed. 1t is certain they are missing,
but it is possible they are among the
wounded scattered around town. A fire
started in the wreck, but the people
rushed to the scene and prevented a.
holocaust Fortunately, the relief was
prompt. and everything possible was
done for the wounded. A pathetic
scene was the death of Brakeman Glib
bons. Hes fingered till afternoon, and
was conscious all the time. He left
young wife an hour before the accident,
and all his grief and talk was about her.
In the agonies of death, till his tongue
was stilled, he spoke only of her. Again
and again he begged some one to pray,
and an old colored minister responded
to his pleadings and knelt at his bed
side. There was a scene of solemnity
that will not soon be forgotten by those
who witnessed it, and silent tears
moistened every eye.

Jones wants Blaine.


WAsHINGToN, May 16.--Senator John
P. Jones, of Nevada, is strongly opposed
to the denomination of Harrison on
personal grounds. He says: .'Let us
nominate Blaine, and he will sweep the
country. Blaine owes it to himself and
to his country to accept the nomination,
even if he knows he would not like to
serve out his term. What are few
years of life to the qualification of life
long ambition? Mr., Blaine has been
striving for the presidency for twenty
five years. Now he has it within his
grasp. Do you suppose he is going to
allow little matter like a pain in his
stomach to deprive him of the great
prize? There is not the slightest obliga-
tion imposed on Mr.. Blaine, by reason
of his position, to support the presi-
dents claim for a second term. He is
not Mr.. Harrison's secretary of state,
but a representative of the American
people. The president does not own the
government. The republican party can
tender Mr.. Blaine the nomination, and
he can accept it without violating in the
slightest degree any principle of honor y

Nerore Learnlng a Lnnrnnro

Some students begin language foI
the mere love of knowing foreign
tongues; others acquire them either for
professional purposes or with the aim of
gaining access to foreign literatures.
But whatever be the motive it is well to
set out with some knowledge of the
science of language-some insight into
the relations of languages to each other
some grasp Of the theories of modern
scholars about the origin and develop
ment of speech. To learn language
without knowing anything of the science
of language is like acquiring the art Of
putting up electric fixtures without any
knowledge Of the principles of electrical
science.
To approach it, on the other hand,
from the standpoint of universal prin-
ciples is to make the study of it easier
and progress in any particular tongue
much more rapid. By knowing, for ex-
ample, the laws of consonautal inter
change, we may often discover the
meaning Of words without being obliged
to refer for them to the dictionary. In
this way every new language learned
makes more easy the requirement Of
other tongues Of the same or Of allied
stocks.-Boston Herald
Milford chronicle., 1892-01-01
NIaternal Love Of the whaIe.

No other member of the animal king
dom displays more maternal affection
than the whale, especially if its calf is
harpooned. The harpooner never throws
his harpoon into the little one with the
intention of killing it, for if this is done
the mother will instantly forsake it. If
alive and struggling, however, the dam
can be easily enticed toward the boat to
meet its fate. Knowing this, the whale
fishermen always strike a calf if posi-
BILE, and thus often make captures that
could not be effected under other cir
cumstances.
As soon as the dam becomes aware Of
the snaring Of her young she rushes to-
ward it, encourages it to swim away,
and even assists by taking it under her
fin. She seems to lose all regard for her
own safety. and boldly attacks the boat
the whalemen, or circles
about it totally regardless of the har-
poons that are hurled at her and enter
her flesh. Detroit Free Press.

A Sensible view Of the Seat Question.


The question of relinquishing seats t
women in the public convey yances is
like the poor, always with us. Said 3
man recently discussing is: "There j.
just this point which l have come to
realize; either I must make mp my mind
never to have a seat in u car, or must
decide never to give it up. l 60 and
come to my place Of business at the
hours when almost everybody else does;
the cars are invariably crowded and
there are always women standing to
whom it is possible to offer my place, if
I get one. Such being the case, it is
also possible for me to stand the year
through. lcannot see that this sacrifice
is demanded by the conditions.
Il am ready to give up my seat at any
time to any person, woman or man,
whose manner or appearance indicates
less ability to stand thanI possess. but /
am not willing to resign it every time /

travellers in a conveyance in which the
supply Of seats viii never, until the
millennium, equal the demand; today

than to have seats cor 'nually resigned

unsnre Money to cnrrr.

My father was once with his ship at
Rangoon. One day during Heavy
thunderstorm he was driving in a cab to
his agents, when he saw a "coolie"
(porter) drop down in the street. lie got
out Of the cab at once and went to the
man, but lie was dead. There was Il
burned patch in his waistcloth, on the
right side, and some blackened copper
"pice" lay on the ground. The man had
just received them for carrying u load,
and, as the clothes Of the poorer natives
of India and Burmah have no pockets,
lie had twisted them into his waistcloth.
and this money must have attracted the
lightning. But the most curious part Of
it was that tho queens head on one of
the coins was clearly impressed Oh his
side, and evenathe words "Queen Vic
toria" were clearly defined Tit
