The Plays Plot.
The plot of Sophocles' "Antigone"
condensed amounts to this: CreOn. the
king. having cast out POIynices-whO
had fallen in single combat with his
brother-without burial, Altigone, his
sister, despite the proclamation of the
king. buries him herself. She is at
length discovered by the guards and or
dered to be entomOed alive. Creon's
cruelty is visited by the death of his son
and wife. as Tireslas. the propheT, had
predicted. and his repentance and wish
to save AntigOne come too late. Anti
gone is generous ami bold. ISmene is
selfish aud pitiful. Creon, who is an
absolute monarch, breads the unpOpu-
larity of his edict. and his character all
the way through strongly betrays a
weakness for personal vanity.

matters took new turn today. In
joint session the PopuliStS gave their
solid vote to Muir, their caucus nomi-
nee, and the Democrats voted for Roach,
their nominee. With the understand
ing that Kingman would withdraw after
one ballot, the Republicans to the num-
Der of twenty-seven voted for him.
Palmer. of Fort Totten, received 81 votes,
and Ii. F. Miller l. Kingman was then
withdrawn, his manager stating that it
was done in the interest of harmony and
the Republican party. The published
report that he had offered $4,000 for
the nomination was base lie, but it
had the effect of weakening his chances.
If another ballot had been taken today,
the chances were i'll favor of Palmer,
but now all is chaos again. In caucus
tonight the Republicans were all at sea.
EX-Gov. Miller ran up to twenty
and back to eleven, while ii. f.

run up and down like the monkey on

pressed it. Jud La Moure and one or

there is a strong sentiment in favor of
adjourning the joint assembly sine die

leaving the governor to appoint for two
years.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-The general man

says:
LET the stockholders and board of
directors of each company operating
lines in a competitive territory agree,
by such machinery as may be neces-
sary, to select one and the same bank
ing house as their fiscal agents of each
and all of the companies, make state
ment of the gross amount of their fixed
charges, which must be paid annually,
at the same time submitting statements
Of past operations, showing the capacity
of their properties to produce net earn
ings toward the liquidation of such
charges. From these data an agreed
basis might be reached of the extent to
which the fixed charges of the several
companies should be guaranteed by all
interests combined. Let them all then.
by agreement among themselves, turn
over to the banking house certain pro-
portion, not necessarily the same lor all
companies. but ranging say from 25 to
So per cent of their gross earnings,
with which those fixed charges are
to be paid. Let such pay
ment be made by the banking
house as fiscal agents for each and all
companies. Then, traffic agreement
having been made by the traffic man
ayers as outlined above, let the banking
house appoint. with the consent Of the
companies, commissioner, or what
ever he may be called, who shall see
that the agreement is lived up TO by the
several companiesA Let him have abso-
lutte powers-a power over the traffic
managers superior to the power of the
presidents of the respective companies
