IT Rained Silver.

In the vicinity of Montgomery and Cali
fornia streets yesterday. about the noon
hour, rush of thousands of people toward
a common center caused citizens In that
locality to open their eyes, expecting a
tragic denouement; but all there was to be
seen was a man franIicalIy picking up
money from the pavement and casting side
glances at the surrounding crowds to note
who was sharing in his harvest of silver.
The man was an emplOye of Wells, Fargo
81 Co.'s express, who had driven over the
street with bags of silver money One or
The bags had in some way become united,
letting the coin shower down on TO the
street, the metallic ring OF which attracted
the drivers attention when he had gone
some thirty or forty feet. A hasty count
Of the recovered coin showed more or less
OF shortage, necessitating further search,
resulting in the same being handed to him
by bystander who had pickle it up.

A TALK WITH GIRLS.
How Much of Their Income Should
They Spend on Dress?

Dressing Within Our Means" was the
subject OF an interesting discussion at the
Women's Educational and Industrial Union
last night.
1--WE do not want to talk to you but with
YOU" observed the president. Mrs. Bunker.
to the assembled girls in her opening ad-
dress, and to set the ball of discussion going
she propounded the question is girl who
who earns $50 a month and her board juSti-
fed in spending Sl5 Of this on dreSs?"
The opinion seemed to be almost unanl~
nous that this outlay would be panderIng
too much TO the desire for fine clothes,
although one voice was heard 10 murmuT,
II should spend all / could get hold o."
The advisability of adopting a uniform
for schoolgirls and for girls who work in
stores was then debated and it was pointed
out that the adoption Of this custom would
crush that spirit of rivalry which at
dress than their means Justify.
Fashion and art are totally different
things" observed one lady. I'VE must be
individual in our dress in order TO be
artistic. When a little woman With a short
neck wears high collars and standng-up
sleeves she Is out OF harmony, ana yet few
Of us realize this. We follow the fashion
whether it Is becoming or not"
The final conclusions arrived at seemed
to be that good, wel-made aud becoming
clothes are in the end the cheapest. The
girl who is her own dresSmaker is the one
most likely to dress we'll ana at the same
time TO keep within her means.

ON THE EVE OF SOLUTION.

THE CALLS special New York eOrrespon-
dent says that Frank 5. Johnson. agent of
the Johnson-L0cke Mercantil COMPANY of
San Francisco, has concluded negotiations
with the Panama Railway Company which
provides for a competing line between Pa
cifc and Atlantic ports by way of the
Isthmus of Panama. The line will be COM
posed of the Panama Steamship Company
from New York TO Colon. the Panama Rail
way Company across the isthmus and the
North American Company from Panama TO
San Francisco. The new combination will
be known a. the Columbian line. The North
American line from San Francisco has
by this arrangement secured the exclusive
privilege Of through billing at through rates
between San Francisco and all Pacific Coast
points TO al the Gulf and Atlantic points in
the United States. Any freight that may
be offered the Panama Railroad Company
by other companies than the North Ameri-
can viii be charged local rates. The North
American Company has the further priyi-
lege of trading from San Francisco to all
points in Mexico and Central America. in
Guiding the port of Panama. The exclu-
sive privilege the North American Com
pany has secured will tend to throw the
Pacific Coast business into that compapy's
hands.
If this arrangement is carried out. an
there is 10 reason TO doubt that it will be.
the letters the Southern Pacific Company
placed upon this city are substantially re-
moved. The railroad company could never
have secured its monopoly without the Co
operation of the Pacific Mail, for which
the Southern Pacific paid not much less
than $1,000 900 a year. There was long
period when the substituting Of the Pacific
Mail Company by the Southern Pacific was
considered master stroke Of policy. But
it does not look that way now. The new
competing line will do business under more
favorable conditions than the Pacific Mail
Rates will come down TO the cost of service.
San Francisco will be able to import goods
at a cost that will enable her merchants to
supply a vast territory which under the
high rates established by the combination
Of the Southern Pacific and Pacific Mail has
been practically closed against them. This
is good news for the city. 1t re-establishes
courage, energy and brains may accomplish.
Two years ago no one saw way out of the
Tut the Southern Pacific Company had run
the city into. The organization Of the
Traffic Association was the first glmmer
Of light upon a dark foreground. The
success of our merchants in fighting the
monopoly has given them new confidence.
A new impulse will soon be visible in all
branches of trade.

Science Gained by peary.

Angelo HeIprin. chief of the Peary Arctic
expedition, has written for Scribner's a
scientific account Of the exploration, which
he ends with these complacent remarks:
THE results of the Peary expedition JUS
tify all the aniicipations that had been
pinned to it. Apart from its worth in de-
termining the iBsularlty of Greenland
thereby settling a question which has dis
turbed the minds Of geogra pliers and states
men for a periOd of three centuries, or since
tho days of Lord Burleigh--it has for ever
removed that tract from con sideration of
completely in the main workings of the
Great Ice Age. The inland ice cap.
which by many has been looked upon as the
lingering ice OF the glacial period, stretch
ing far into the realm of the pole itself, has
been found TO terminate throughout its en-
tire extent at approximately the eighty
second parallel; beyond this line follows a
region of past laciatiOn-uncOvered to-day
and supporting an abundance of plant and
animal life not different from that OF the
more favored regions southwark. Over
this tract has manifestly been effected that
migration of organic forms from the west
and TO the west which has assimiated the
faunas and fioras of Eastern Greenland with
those of other regions; indeed, mans own
migratiOns are probably bound up with this
northern tract"

THE SENAToRSHlP.

The two houses of the Legislature voted
separately for United States Senator on
Tuesday, and, there being no choice, the
vote will be taken in joint convention to-
day. Stephen NJ. White received forty-two
votes in the house and eighteen in the Sen
ate. He thus has one-half of the entire
number in the two houses, but one more
is needed to secure his election. Mr.. Whites
friends have cunteuded that the two votes
needed in addition to the full Democratic
vote would be forthcoming when required.
1t is not improbable, therefore, that the
needed vote viii materialiZe to-day.

to possibility of compromise on the back
taxes. When the message was issued many
people thought 1t implied that the railroad
was prepared to offer a compromise, and
that the Governor had received hint TO
that effect.
1t is doubtful. however, in law whether the
Legislature could accede to compromise
for back taxes; and while two millions and

TOO MANY RESOLUTIONS.

Mr. BledsOe has offered a substitute for
The Schlesinger resolutions to impeach the
Railroad Commission, which provides for
their summary removal from Office, which
may be done by twO-thirds vote In each
house. The substitute was doubtless Of
fered in good faith but it seems to us a
waste of force. It Is not possible to turn
the Commissioners out Of Office in this way

during the eight months prior to the
death of Levinson the firm received over
$4,000. while the defendants, William j..

The effect OF this notice was astonish-
ing. From nearly 1000 persons who had
applied for help at one station, before
the notice was given. the number OF ap-

suggested. It is pity that some such
test cannot be applied in every city to
