IT is highly probable that long
before the summer is over the
Western railroads will precipitate
one of the hottest rate wars for
passengers traffic to Chicago that
the country has ever Seen. The
trunk line rate committee met in
New York on Tuesday tor the pur
pose OF figuring rates to California
points as well as rates to Chicago.
Missouri River lines having named
$40. so as the rate from all points on
the Missouri river the rate OF $40 90
from Chicago to Kansas City first
class has been named and will be
used in figuring through rates to
California. If the ideas of the trunk
Line rate committee are carried out
il will cost Dut $50 to see the big
Fair go through to California and
return to New York.

SOME OF the Democratic politicians
in Washington, in fact, nearly all OF
them, are much more cheerful than
a month ago. They have come to
the conclusion that the administra-
ton intends to give the rank and file
Of the party pretty fair showing
after all 1t Was their original belief
based upon expressions coming from
the White House and the various
departments, that changes in office
would be made only where changes
we're compelled; that the spirit OF the
Mugwump was abroad in the land,
and that Civil Service reform had at
last come to stay. For some reason
best known. to themselves they have
changed their minds. 1t is now the
conviction that by the 18th Of next
July there will be a clean sweep in
ali the offices. or nearly all, that are
not directly governed by the Civil
Service law.

THE Worlds Fair at Chicago was
auspiciously opened on Monday IN
the presence OF the Nations Chiel
Magistrate, and hosts of dignitaries
faRfot15 alike in the new and old
worlds. No event has recently taken
place in this country which enlists
more of the patriotic solicitude Of
the American people, which is more
talked OF in the family circle, and
which every American citizen is
more kindly disposed towards than
the Columb ian Exposition. Chicago
has accomplished wonders, and
overcome stupendous difficulties, in
the realization Of this stupendous
undertaking, and deserves the con-
CALCULATIONS not only Of America but
of every civilized nation OF the
world.

A WASHINGTON despatch to the
New York San says: The subjug
alton of Congress to the views and
purposes of the administration is the
determination Of Mr.. Cleveland
uttered through Secretary Carlisle
to the New York bankers There is
to be an extra session Of Congress
to afford the opportunity at as early
a day as possible. War will be
opened against silver, notably the
Sherman law. Nothing, said Mr..
Carlisle, will be done in any way
that will retard or check the deter
minati5n of the Cleveland admins
tration concerning the repeal Of the
Sherman law This is another way
of saying that nothing will be omitted
that will tend to accomplish the
laws repeal. 1t can be taken for
granted, therefore, ii the offices
which Mr.. Cleveland has been hold
ing back. will suffice. if enough men
can be induced by these offices, as
they are dealt out by the hand Of
the President, that Congress will be
subjugated; silver will go by the
board

THE Baltimore Egening Meas
anticipates General Crulkshank S
promised book in the following
complimentary strain. Exhibitor
George Washington Cruikshank's
forthcoming book will doubtless
meet with a hattering reception.
For years Mr.. Cruikshank has been
one OF the most notable figures in
the State. Like m2ny another man
he relinquished a useful, honored and
lucrative career in provincial news
paperdom to become financially
swamped and professionally dis
heartened in the treacherous quick,
sands Of metropolitan journalism,
In the days when he spread the
honey Of rhetoric and the vitriol Of
invective over the genus kissed
pages OF the EIkton (Md.) Demo
crat, Mr.. Cruikshank was the fore
most and most powerful in the State,
but he has never recovered from the
disaster that followed his control
OF the ill-starred Baltimore Day.
With his professional downfall he
lost his political pull, once one of
the most envied pieces OF such
personal property in Maryland. He
has had the honor to be called a
righthand man and cherished adviser
Of German yet when he called upon
the machine not to forget him in his
old age he was given a place in
Washington which he resigned i'll
disgust upon finding that it was a
fourth class messengership. Mr..
Cruckshank's literary effort is said
to be partly photographed and
partly dIdactic and kill contain be
yond doubt many lessons of value
ztorayoung man OF Wesleyan tell
denotes. Perhaps it may be hoped
that Mr.. Cruikshank will point his
moral and adorn his tale with some
spicy revelations ofthe history he
he helped to make and which pro
flied him nothing. The Ne!oS
hopes soon to add to its extensive
library Mr.. Cruikshank's "Leaves
from the Log Book OF Wreck" and
Uncle George Colton's Thirty Years
in Maryland Politics.

erraIld the Holland flew through the darkness down the harbor; past the red light marking the lower end of the break water and the great foghorn that bel lowed mournfully after them; rast the point of the cape and the lonely bell buoy that seemed to Ee tolling 9 dirge for the lost pilot, and southeastN ard past the long rows of sand dunes be low the cape and the great white beacon Llazing high above them. Strangely enough. no one seemed to remember the two lost sailors. Even the two Norwegians, who were all of the crew left on board, seemed to forget their suffering fellow country men in their anxiety for the young pilot. Up and down, each time farther to sea, they searched through the night, flashing their torches many times in every hour, then scanning the watery desert on all sides. waiting and hoping always for the answering gleam that never appeared. Not man left the deck for moment. Hail, storm and cold, al | were unheeded Throughout the long night they sailed to and fro; their hearts were growing heavier and their thoughts more bitter. Through the dawn and the dim sunrise all the morning they searched in vain And then, sorrowfully, they turned the Hollands head westward and beat up again to their anchorage of the night before.

no more; the slow thinker had always an intuitive perception of when to sslet things alone.' But it was impossible not to be anxious when This boy was out of sorts. It was so rare an event that when it did occur it was bound to mean something serious.
 The sailors rowed on stolid1y toward the breakwater There were three Nor wegians and one American. They did not talk much at any time. There was nothing save the man at his side to dis turb his meditations.
 "It's Nell and some of her tricks" The solution came to him at last almost in the very words her brother had used. "Confound that grill I'd like to give her good shaking" For the moment he looked it. ''It might shake some sense into her-or some of the nonsense out oi her. She'll ruin Maurice yet with hel foolishness." Truxill had never been known to use an oath, but never in his life had he been nearer doing so thar now. A wrong done to his boy reused him as nothing else could.
 But he kept his thoughts to himself.

CHAPTER I.

"I don't care," cried the girl defiantly. s1won't do it anyhow, and that's all there is-about it!'
 The young pilot leaning against the gate gazed at her steadily for some mo- ments before he spoke.
 'sWon't you make it up now, Nell?'' he pleaded. "Fve got to go out on the Hol- land today; it's my first chance
 .sNo I won't!' she snapped. '.And l don't care how long you are gone either, Maurice Aurand."
 Without another word the young man turned and walked slowly down the street, his eyes upon the ground. Aurand was very young. It was less than a year since he had finished hts seven years apprenticeship and received the first rate branch" that allowed him to pilot vessels of all drafts in and out of the bay. He knew more of winds and tides and currents than of women's ways, and this girl whom he was to marry before the month was out was more of an enigma to him than all the shifting shoals that formed the chief danger to navigation in the bay. There was at least some limit to their variations; there seemed to be none to hers.
 The girl watched him, motionless, un- til turn in the winding street hid him from sight. Though similar scenes had been of frequent occurrence, he had never before left her in this way. She had ex- pected him to persevere until his efforts had brought about the reconciliation she was always ready to acquiesce in, but which her innate perversity made her postpone as long as possible As Aurand disappeared she stirred uneasily.
 "What does he mean?' she thought. "He never did that before. wish"--
 Her young brother met Aurand just as he passed out of her view.
 ''How do, Maurice"
 "How do, Jim,' without stopping or looking up. The boy turned quickly as he passed. The pilot continued the slow pace toward the beach. The step of the best jumper in the county had no spring. The nervous energy that Aurand had in- herited from his dead father-the casta- way provencal sailor-had become a lifeless, automatic movement.
 The boy thrust his hands deeper in his trousers pockets as he strode along.
 "Nell's been at her tricks again." he thought. "Tt's blamed shame she can't treat a good fellow like Maurice decent ly. Darn the girl anyhow!' with very unfraternal indignation.

for the prey that is gone out of their reach. He glares at them fiercely, but they have no fear of him. To seize one of them would mean renewed life to him and his companion, but even when they come within his reach his hands cannot close on them.
 He sinks beside the Norwegian, and his bleared eyes search the horizon from under swollen lids and frozen lashes. So far his splendid vitality has held him up. Now he is despairing, and hope abandons him quickly. The night finds the two men leaning close together. The wind increases, and the spray dashes into the skiff. The stars shine brilliantly on the drifting boat half full of solid ice. It closes firmly around the legs of the cast aways. Motion is no longer possible, and deadly lethargy, drowsy and merciful, is fast creeping over them.
 And it is the morning of the fourth day.

Great waves dashed fercely against the massive rocks of the breakwater and sent the spray flying over the low light house. She could see others, coming from afar out, pass through the gap and pass on, each one in hot chase of an- other, to break at her feet with hun gry roar.
 One sail was visible far out in the bay, the blue ensign displayed at its peak. It was the t'takeoff boat waiting toreceive the pilots coming home from up the river. Coming home! She knew we'll why none of the other boats of the pilot fleet were in sight, even beyond the cape She turned back, with convulsive shud- ders rending her, and went to her own room, locking the door.

The girl still stood by the gate. A glance at her face convinced him. of the correctness of his conjecture.
 ''Say, Nell, what's the matter with Maurice?'' he queried as she turned away.
 q don't know" He knew it was lie
 "Well, do then. You've been at the same old game, and Maurice looks all broken up," retorted the boy hotly. You'll do it once too often one of these days, and he won't come back any more."
 q don't care if he doesn't" returned his sister. 'You shut up, Jim Graves, and mind your own business"

 Maurice walked down to the beach and out on the long pier, hardly noticing the greetings of his friends. There was hard ly 8 human being in the little town who would not have claimed the title, but none were to him like John Truxill, a brother pilot on the Jackson Holland. Truxill was waiting by the pier steps with the Hollands skiff and the four sail ors who composed her crew. He was the very antithesis of Maurice, sedate and steady, slow of thought and action. The 10 years difference in their ages might well have been 30. for Truxill re- garded his friend rather as son than as brother, and he loved the light hearted tad with the love that passeth that of woman.
 He sat silent for some time, apparently devoting his attention to the steering oar, while he shot occasional side glances at his "boy."
 Whats the matter, Maurice?'' he asked at length.
 Nothing" The younger man sat with averted face, gazing abently at the pass ing waves.
 "You can't put me off in that way, my lad. don't want to bother you, if you want to be let alone, but I know there's something wrong with you. Can't Ihelp you?"
 'No. I'm only little out of sorts, John," returned Aurand. Truxill asked
