The Pennsylvania Railroad company is

handle the entire Pullman service Of
parlor cars rather than experiment in
trying TO establish a service OF its own.
The former company has gone into an
arrangement with the Pullman Palace
Car company by which Pullman cars are
to be substituted for the company's own
cars now running on the New York
division.
There are about fifteen parlor cars be-
longing to the railroad which were made
at Altoona. These will probably be con
verted into ordinary coaches. The new
arrangement went into effect Sunday,
and in a few days the Pullman company
will have control OF the parlor cars over
the entire Pennsylvania system.

The bullion value of the United States
silver dollar is today worth sixty-nine
cents the lowest point, we believe, it has
ever reached. The value of silver has
always been fuctuating and unstable.
This is history not theory. By the law
of Menes, King of Egypt the value of
gold was fixed at two and one-half times
that of silver. In the times of Solomon
it was SO abundant as to accounted as
nothing, and in Ecbatana the tiles on
the roof of temples were of solid silver.
In the fifth century the ratio of gold
was six to eight times that of silver. In
Greece in Plato's time it was ten to one.
During the middle ages and down to the
sixteenth century the ratio was ten to
thirteen to one. The discovery of silver
mines brought down the ratio to sixteen
r to one and since 1873 the product OF
silver has doubled and the actual ratio OF
silver is now only twenty-five to of gold
Throw open our mints to free coinage
and what with our own annual product
and the absorption of the worlds sur
plus silver will descend still lower
! till the country is reduced to an absolute
silver basis AID every dollar of golc
driven out of it.

A woman,. strange Beoue,t.

A very aged lady, Mime. Guzman, who
died on the 30th of June last in Pau,
was deeply interested. especially during
her last years, in the descriptions of the
planet Mars and the theoretical posi-
bility of communication between our
planet and the neighbor worlds. Further
more, expressing in her will desire
peculiarly astronomical, she made the
following legacy:
A prize Of fOO, 900 francs is bequeathed
to the Institute of France (science sec
tion) for the person, no matter of what
nationality, who shall discover within
ten years from the present time means
of communicating with star planet or
otherwise) and of receiving reply.
The testatrix has especially in view
the planet Mars, upon which the atten-
ton and investigation of savants has
been directed already. If the Institute
of France does not accept the legacy il
will pass to the Institute of Milan, and
in case of a new refusal to the Institute
of New York.-Cor. New York Herald.

He Locates Oil Wells in His Dreams.
Butler county has an ''oil smeller''
who can give points to persons who
bring out the power of the hazel rod.
Some months ago Cunningham & Co.
were drilling well on the farm of Ira
Stauffer one night while the well was
drilling Casper Keichner, a acrippled jew
eler of Zelienople, dreamed that the well
was dry, and in the same vision he saw
SPOT on the farm of John Shriver,
near the Stauffer farm, whore well
was flowing 900 barrels per day.
Keichner related his dream to Cum
ningham & Co., but smile was all he
got for his trouble. When the well on
the Stauffer farm was completed it was
first class duster. In their adversely
the owners of the well went to Keichner
and asked him to show them the spot on
the Shriver farm where in his dream ha
had seen the coveted 1000 barrel well.
He accompanied them to the place and
well was started on the spot. A few
weeks ago the pay streak was reached,
the well actually flowed 1000 barrels a
day and the place is the richest oil farm
in Butler county today.-Pittsburg Cor.

1t is said there is something like $70,-
600 yet remaining of the last appropria-
ton for the Cascade Locks. Now the
proper plan for spending that sum, in a
railroad company-is to allow an army
of dude clerks to draw as much
of it as possible until the high water
comes in the summer and then devote
what is left to pumping the water out of
the canal. The CHRONICLE offers this
suggestion to the "Majah.' Now see if
he does not adopt it.

STATE OFFICIALS.
We have been informed more than

We have been informed more than
once that certain wire working polite
ions in Sherman county are laying plans
for the nomination of Hon. F.. o. Nc
Coy for the joint senatorship of Wasco,
Sherman and Gillian counties. The
report of course may not be true. 1t is
hard to conceive that it can be, but the
bare possibility of such an event ought
to be sufficient to wake up the recollec-
tions of the Sherman county farmers to
the fact that to E->O. Mccoy, more than
to any man living, they owe it that their
county is still shut up to the tender
mercies of the railroad company as re-
CARDS transportation connection with
Portland and the lower river. If Sher-
man county republicans are so lost to
their own interests as to put up Mr..
Mccoy they will have to do the voting
to elect him, for Wasco county will cer-
tainly give them no help. Gentlemen
electors of Sherman county, the CHRoICLE
gives you this as pointer to which you
will do well to take heed. The nomi-
nation of Mr.. Mccoy will only prove
Lndb yOu uCSCiNC W III bliC
clutches of the railroad company till the
crack of doom. The CHRONICLE makes
this statement without the shadow OF
a personal feeling toward Mr.. Mccoy.
1t is matter of deep regret with this
Journal that solem sense of duty COM
pells it to condemn the official record OF
a man whose private and social life has
deservedly won him many warm per-
sonal friends. AS servant of the peo-
pie Mr.. Mccoy has been weighed in the
balance and found wanting.

Tho Matter Is Again Being Urged Upon
Congress.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-[ Special. IA. VIM
nedge of Cooke City, Mont, is spending
his second winter at Washington, en- deav-
oring to induce oong ess to segregate a
small slice of the National park so that u
railroad may be constructed into one of the
richest mining regions of that rich and
progressive mineral state. At presens all
development of the Cooke region is stopped
by the need of railroad transportation. The
only feasible route into Cooke City is from
the Northern Pacific through series OF
valleys that lie within the borders of the
National park. MIR. Vinnedge and his
friends are seeking to segregate these
valleys from the park and restore them
to the public domain for railroad purposes,
Tho Montana representatives arc all favor
able TO the plan. There 10 another faction
insisting on keeping the park intact and at
tho same time granting the right of way to
n railroad to build along the Yellowstone
river to Cooke City. Between the two the
relief will probably not be granted to the
district, deserving railroad. as that has
besn the CASE for the past four years. sin CO
the matter has been pending in congress.

HIS CHOICE FOR SENATOR.
Mr.. Cleveland Tells What Manner
OF Man New York Should
Elect.
And Adds That Edward Murphy,
Jr., Does not Meet the
Requirements.
His Selection Woald Embarrass the Party
Throught the Whole Country
Should not He Chosen.

NEW YoKK, Dsc. N.--The Times will 90
morrow print an interview with President
elect Cleveland as TO his favorite candidate
for United States senator to succeed His
cock. The presidcnt-eleet is quoted as say
ing: ut must not be forgotten that the
party has very hard task to perform II
we expect to keep the word we have passed
to the people of the country. They have
given ns phenomenal majority, one show
ing that they expect rs to do much. In
doing this great deal depends upon the
state of New York and it's great metropo-
lis. The interests of the state and party
demand, it seems to me, the selection of a
senator who can not only defend the prin-
ciples of our party, but who can originate
and p omote policies that may be pre-
sented for consideration in the senate. In
order to insure this the senator from New
York should be man not only experienced
in public affairs. but who has clear CON
ception OF the vital issues with which We
must deal during the next few years.
'Spsaking frankly it does not seem TO me
that the selection of Mr., Murphy would
show a desire or an intention of placing in
the senate men of such type. This first use
Of our power would cause much disappoint-
ment, not only in New York but in the
country. This the purity ought not to be
called upon to face.''

Not Parallel Canals.

WAsHrsaToN. Dec. 27.--Two years ago
Senator Frye prophesied that time would
show that the Panama canal scheme was
corrupt. and that within year or two light
would be thrown upon it. and the fate of
the republic would tremble under the shock.
Ehat condition exists to-day. There has
teen some talk to the effect that the Pana-
ma and Nicaragua canal schemes are par
nilel and that the disaster that has over
taken the French people will cause public
men in this country to hesitate in giving
their votes to sanction the guarantee of
NiSaragua bonds, fearing that scandal
might result. Mr.. Frye sees nothing of the
kind and is emphatic in a declaration to
that effect. Said he: ."rhere is very good
reason to advance why this government
should exercise supervision over The Mica
ragua canal and control all that is done
there. and there is no reason why any leg
islator should be afraid to cast his ballot
for bill which has this end in view. be-
lieve this measure will pass the senate. but
of course such prediction cannot be made
as to the house. II can hardly be supposed
that the bill will meet with favor there, in
asmuch as it contemplates the expenditure
of public money and such expenditures are
opposed on that side of the CAPITOL

THE ETRURIA WON.
Exciting Race With the City of Paris
Across the Atlantic.

Exciting Race With the City of Paris
Across the Atlantic.
NEW YORK, Dec. N.-The Etruria, of the
Cnnard line of steamships. has beaten the
City of Paris, Of the Inman line, in their
race across the ocean. The two big ocean
greyhounds left their docks Saturday, Nov.
II. within few minutes of each other, the
Inman liner having the advantage in cross-
ing the bar by about twenty-five minutes.
The Etruria crossed at 4:30 O'clock p. m.
and followed in the wake of the City of
Paris. The result of the race WAS surprise
to the steamship agents, for last Saturday
before the vessels sailed the Cunard people
had no idea that the Etruria would finish
ahead of her more famous rival.
The scene aboard of both boats during
the trip was one of excitement. The pas
sengers on the City OF Paris say that the
first night out they saw the Etruria's lights
astern of them. AS the night advanced the
lights grew larger and brighter, which
showed that the Cunarder was gradually
gaining on them. The steady pounding Of
her screws caused her to trembe from
stem to stern, and she rushed through the
heaving seas like an animal instinct with
life. Her passengers, who had been conf
dent of her ability to run away from the
Etruria. began to waver. The most intense
excitement prevailed among them. and
6oIue HSaVy Detb W3F6 Mau6 upon tu6 re-
suit. Even the ladies aboard became inter
ested. and many wagers of bon bons and
gloves were made upon the result 1t ia
even whispered loudly that in SONS cases
they did not confine their bets to such
harmless trihes. and that those who laid
odds against their own ship received
more than enough money to pay their pass
nRe out and home. Though the decks were
very uncomfortable, they were ecarcely
ever deserted. Men and women gathered
under the lee of the deck houses and anx-
iously watched the black mass of the Etru-
ria as she rose and fell but all the time
creeping nearer and nearer.
Early Tuesday morning the Etruria was
nearly abreast of her rival, but she was
some distance down to leeward. Quits a
crowd of passengers were on deck Watching
her when suddenly she changed her course
and hauled to the southwafd, Much specu-
lation was indulged in as to wha. this move
might mean. but the result of the run
showed that Capt. Haines knew what he was
about. In a short time the Etruria was
hull down. and then nothing could be seen
OF her save long trail of black smoke lying
along the horizon. This soon disappeared,
when nothing more was seen of her until
Friday when she suddenly loomed MP
consider able distance ahead OF the City OF
Paris
