He Expects Great Good to Result From
the Extra Session.
ATLANTA (Ga.), July 2.-Speaker Crisp
left at noon to-day for Washington.
Being asked about the reason for his trip,
the Speaker said: 81 am on my way to
Washington to answer telegram from
Carlisle, who intends to go to Chicago on
Thursday, but who desired to have con-
ference with me before he left the city.
l look for great good to result
from the extra session. The nature
of its treatment of the tariff
depends largely, of course, upon whether
it be continuous session. fit adiourns
before the regular fall session begins a
committee will, think, be charged with
the work of reforming the tariff and will
proceed with the duty until some good
tariff measure is formulated.
"Will the Sherman bill be repealed ?"
'Yes, undoubtedly, think"
"How about the 10 per cent. on State
banks issue ?''
q II don't think there will be any trouble
in the way of repeating the tax on State
banks. While l am not authorized to
speak for him, 1 believe the President
is in favor OF repeating this tax"
In reply to direct question whether he
would be candidate for the Senator
ship, Judge Crisp said: ~ am now a
candidate, as you have doubtless OBJ
served, for reelection as Speaker of the
next House of Representatives. 1 do not
think 1 will have any opposition for the
office In fact, l do not believe there
ever was any serious intention on the
part of the next Congress to oppose me
for the place. Of course 1 appreciate
kindly the use Of my name in connec-
ton with the Senatorship, but it is alto
pether unauthorized by me-,

Supporters of the Government Have a
Majority in the Refchstag.
BERLIN, July 2.-Although no two esti-
mates as to the ultimate composition of
the Reichstag may exactly agree, all reli-
able reckoning shows divergence of
only five members in the estimates of
those who will support the army bill, the
calculators placing the number favoring
the measure at between 2O5 and 30. As
| there are 397 members these calculations
show sufficiently strong majority to
pass the bill.
1t is estimated that the opponents of
the Government in the next House will
number from 1S7 to 1872. Whatever un-
certainty exists as to the definite strength
of the parties arises from the motley
character of the planks incorporated in
the platforms which some candidates in
dorsed.

GUILTY AS CHARGED.
A Tramp Convicted for Attempting to
Wreck Train.

"A tramp convicted Tor Attempting to
Wreck a Train.
RosEBURG (Or.), July 2.-"Guilty as
charged in the indictment' was the YER
diet of the jury in the trial of Gearge L.
Richardson for attempting to wreck the
northbound Southern Pacific overland
passenger train last March near Drain,
Or. The defense called no witnesses,
relying on the weakness of the prosecu-
ton for acquittal. The evidence was
purely circumstantial. Richardson will
appear for sentence next Monday.
Early on the morning of March 81,
1898, the passenger train from San Fran
cisco to Portland, when near Drain, Or.
was signaled by man waving a torch.
The engineer stopped the train, and the
man who held the torch told story of
attempted train wreck. He was covered
with blood and seemed faint, but be-
tween his gasps he managed to inform
the train crew that the track some dis
tance ahead was torn up. He said that
five armed men were in waiting to rob
the express car after the train had been
derailed. The man said that he had over
heard the wreckers' plans and was dis
covered by them. After being stabbed
and beaten he was left for dead. He re-
covered consciousness and dragged his
battered body down the track and sig
nailed the train.
The supposed here was given 500 by
the passengers and was taken to Portland
and put in the hospital. It was there
learned that his wounds were not serious.
The train was delayed several hours, as
the rails for some distance had been re-
moved.
Railroad men became suspicious of the
''brave" tramp, and he was arrested and
charged with train wrecking.

that occurred on the evening of the day

S. Brooks came to Massachusetts. 1t
was at spiritualistic exhibition held

citizens had been chosen from the audi

with the medium to ask questions and
otherwise represent the audience in the
interest of candid investigation. Jacob
w. Crosby; well known citizen, was
one of the committee. He was to do the
questioning. After few Introductory
inquiries, to which replies were made
Mr.. Crosby astounded the spirit world
by the query, lis the spirit of Preston

There was no reply, and the question
was repeated. Then there were some
hesitating raps at the table, but it could
not be determined whether the answer
was in the affirmative or the negative.
"You know he is dead, don't your"
shouted the committeeman.
The answer by raps was now distinct

Fog signaling,

A method of fog signaling has been
introduced on several branches of the
North London system OF the Great
Northern railway of England which
obviates much of the unreliability and
complexity of the systems hitherto used.
A wire is laid in pipe from the signal
box to tho various signals, at which
brushes of copper project some four or
five inches above the side of the rail
nearest the signal. A similar brush,
which connects with an indicator and
bell on the engine, is fixed to the en-
gine foot plato. When the signal points
to danger, tho two brushes come i'll con-
tact, and tho ringing of the bell and the
warning OF tho driver by miniature
signal on the engine that the line is not
clear are tho result. Tho arrangement
can be readily switched off in fine
weather SO as to become imperative.
This electric device seems to be the most
simple as we'll as the most efficient
means yet rcsortcd to for fog signaling,
and tho Great Northern railway intends
to adopt it over the whole Of its lines -

San Diego Sun: A girl tramp came

A, made presentable, and secured a
place in family at good wages. where
she is working faithfully and cheer.

To those that befriended her she re-

Angeles. Her mother died, one siste I
younger daughter until the drudgsr y
ana ill-usage became uncomfortable. One
night he chased the elder one from the
to ''cut her in two" if abe dared return.
He never wanted to hear of her again.
There must have been some sort OF an
acquaintance between this girl of Mexi-
can and French blood and four young
men or boys OF the neigh ghborhood. Two
of these were Mexican and two Ameri-
can. 1t appears they were going atramp
for work, and possibly the girls story
appealed to them. At any rate the FIVE
started to beat their way on freight cars,
coming by way of San Bsrnardino and
Orange to San Diego.
LIS poye lorhgeQ LOT oranges ana
grapes, on which they all lived. After
rough experiences, holding on at night
between and under cars, they were put
off at San Juan. 1t was decided to walk
to Oceanside, but the sea air chilled
them SO they burrowed in the sand to
keep warm and sleep. The elder Mexi-
can took off his only coat and put it over
his girl companion. On reaching
Oceanside an officer had the girl taken
care of at hotel over night, and in the
morning gave her ticket to this city.
She was a spectacle, and not half clad !;
but she fell among Christians instead of
Philistines, and there is hope for her.
One of her companions was an limo.
cent-faced lad. and this rather strongly
appealed to the Y. M. G. A. people. But
he has not been seen since being re-
clothed and put in condition to fill a
good position secured for him.

Fossil Ivory.

The first mammoth tusk seen in west
ern Europe was brought to London in
1911 by one James Logan, who had pur-
chased it from the Samoyedes, and
Father Avril, Jesuit who crossed ST.
IBERIA in 1885, wrote that the Russians
had discovered sort of ivory whittier
and smoother than that which comes
from India.
The substance was priced, too, as a
stypic and was said to be derived from
a powerful amphibious creature, "as
big and as dangerous as crocodile,
living chiefly at the mouth of the Lena.
Fossil ivory toward the close of the
eighteenth century became an object
of general commerce. and incredible
quantities were exported from its arctic
repository. Midendorf about 90 years
ago estimated the annual sale at 110,-
600 pounds weight, and upward of
1,600 tusks are known to have reached
London in 1879.
Yet the supply remains unexhausted
and may indeed be called inexhaustible.
1t is the demand which has of late fall
en- off OF failed In Russia and China,
II is true, almost exclusive use is made
of the excavated material, but its brit
tleness and tendency to discoloration
practically exclude it from western
markets. Edinburgh Review.

The Clever Brahman.

Speaking of the great power the
Brahmans in India possess in localizing
thought, Purushotam Aor TeIang said
the other day: I'VE would consider a
game of chess as played in this country
mere child's play. An ordinary Brah-
man chess player could carry on three
or four games at time without incon-
venience. The usual game played by
the Brahmans consists in checkmating
with one pawn, designated when the
play begins. I have seen man perform
long problem in multiplication and di-
vision, at the same time noting the va
rious sounds and discussions going on
about him in the room. I have seen a
man compose a triple acrostic in San
