New YORK, Aug. 2O.-Oferings Of long
stock checked the rising tendency in the
railway group this morning. The dis
position to realize profits, however, was
only natural in view Of the sharp rise
which followed the declaration of tho
regular dividend on Chicago, Burling ton
and Quincy. London was the first to
sell, and parted with fairly large
amounts Of St Paul and other of it's
specialties. The early loss was less
than point, being greatest in Burling-
ton and Quincy and Louisville and
nashville, which receded % each to Tx
and 54A respectively. The offerings,
however, were we'll taken, and the mar
ket, com paratively speaking, could not
be called weak.
Railway earnings were of material
assistance to the Gulls, the reports to
hand for the second week of August
having shown an improvement. This

Superstition Among Lion Tamers

Lion tanners, while not as supcrsti-

An Accommodating EarthouaIse.

Earthquakes play queer pranks some
times, and few OH record are Oueercr
than an incident of tho trembler of
1868 The story is told by Colonel
George w. Grannis, who vouches for
It's authenticity as he witnessed the ex-
traordinary incident with his own ewes
and knows there was no doception.
Colonel Grlnnis was agent of tho Mont
gomcry block at that time-an enviablc
position i'll more ways than one, because
the building was the legal and business
center of San Francisco. Here arc the
veteran colonel's own words:

the first shock came in the evening.
That was the earthquake Of 1868. the
only tough shakeup we ever had in Cali

OF people outside and the noise of fall
ing signs and chimneys, but knowing
that General Hnlleck had constructed
the building as he would a fortress. nc
cording to his ideas of civil engineer

The moment the shock had subsidized

see that the walls were all right. l was

the back wall had sprung out and leaned
over. could see the sky between tho
wall and floors. This was o fearful
state OF affairs, so 1 went to engineers
and architects. They said it was impos-
slble to pry that thick wall back into
place. There was no purchase to get a
move on it. Well. 1 just began that
evening to make arrangements to have
the wall torn down at considerable cx
pense. That night another shock came
from east to west and what do YOU
think, sir? Honest, so help me- that
wall was put back into its place, with
the joists fitting perfectly in the holes.
There was nothing but a crack left in
tho plaster. San Francisco Call.

to profit by the bounty on this years
crop. The sugar trust, of course, will
be on the free list until that time
which 1T will refine and sell at the
prices that will prevail after the duty
goes into effect.
The prospective profits are estimat-
ed all the way from $40, 900 to S5O,-
100000, which is an object even 10, the
sugar trust. The Republicans are
making great todo over this state OF
affairs. Yet if they had planned to
bring about this result. they could not
have done anothing else halfso certain
to bring it about as what they did do
in the Mckinley bill.
They knew that the bounty system
would not be- long tolerated; that it is
un-American and intolcrable, and
would not be permitted to remain in
existence n great length of time.
They knew that the probabilities,
when The bounty came to be abolished,
were that the duty on sugar would be
restored and that in the transition
rom one system to the other the sugar
trust would wiring millions from the
American people. Perhaps they did
not deliberately plan this result, but
had they been scheming in the pecuni-
ary interest of the trust they would
have done exactly what they did.
they could not have devised a better
scheme for enriching the trust and rob-
bing the people than the one adopted,
ingenious as it must be admitted thcy
are in devising such schemes. With
the sugar schedule out of the way,
rapid progress should be made with
the other features of the bill.

SWIFrER THAN THE WIND.
Passengers Il to he Taken from Ne
York to Chicago i'm Six Hours

Passengers to BE Taken from New
York to Chicago in Six Hours.
The Elevated Suspension Elevated
Railway Company has been organized
to build a railway on an air line be-
tween Chicago and New York. The
distance is 750 miles, and Inventor
Johnston says it can be covered in six
hours. A double track road is propos-
ed The rails will be in the upper
part OF an elevated steel structure, and
the cars will be suspended from the
trucks and have no support beneath
them. The nanges on the outside in
stead OF the inside OF the rails as on
ordinary railways. Inventor Johnston
says;
The speed to be obtained with light
trains on the system is practically un-
limited, and depends altogether on the
size of the wheel used. Sixty miles
per hour could easily be obtained with
safety on fifteen inch wheel, and 12O
to 100 miles per hour with thirty to
thirty-threo inch wheel on long runs of
straight track.
The cars are about six feet in width
by twenty feet in length, with seat
ing capacity of thirty persons. The
weight OF the car proper is 1900
pounds, of the trucks and motor, which

pounds, and of the passengers 5000
pounds, making the strains upon $50
foot span, with a loaded train of two
cars upon it, nineteen and one-half
tons when the train is at rest.
The cost of construction for this
system does not exceed 20 per cent. Of
the cost OF steam elevated roads under
ordinary circumstances, while the
crossing of streams and the overcom-
ing OF obstacles to buildings can be
accomplished by the use of longer
spans without material increase in
expense. About $4,000 per mile fully
covers the cost of construction of u
four-track road and $4,000 per mile its
equipment, while two-tr.,ck road can
be built and equipped under SOC, 900 per
mile.
There being no solid structure to
act Us a sounding board, the noise is
less than that Of any other system.
The ilexibility of this system gives an
agreeable motion IN riding, and re-
lievcs of all jolting and noise of the
rigic structure. There is perfect free
dom from dust, smoke, steam and Gin
ders, and in matter of speed, it is be-

ANOTHER pLEDGE REpUD1ArED

The 10 per cent Tax on State Banks
Defeatcd-76 Democrats Vote With
the IscpubliCans-All OF Our Con-
grcsmcn Vote for the Repeal.
WASHINGTON, June G.-The House
proceeded to the consideration of the
bill to repeal the State bank tax under
the arrangement agreed to yesterday.
Turner (Dem.) spoke in favor of re-
peal> He contrasted favorably to the
first the availability and desirability
of State banx and national bank issues
of currency. What was more vital to
the best interests OF the country, in his
opinion, however, was the passage Of
tho tariff bill. and he pictured hand
impatient to put in motion the ma
chinery that would produce an era of
prosperity of the country.
Meiklejohn (Rep.) speaking of the
probable conditions under which State
bank issues would be made, in case the
system were rehabibilitated, called at
tention TO a bank law passed by the
Georgia Legislature last December in
expectation of the repeal of the State
bank tax. That law, he said, authoriz-
ed bank with one-quarter of its capi-
tai in national bonds, one-quarter in
State, county or municipal bonds of
the State, and one-half in currency, to
issue, upon the deposit Of the bonds
amount of three times the security.
The subject was further discussed by
Bingham (Rep.), Hall CDem.l Robin
son (Rep.) and Cochran (Dem.). The
latter denounced the national bank
currency as the worst that could be
conceived and ought not to be allowed
to stand. But as long as it did exist
Cochran said he did not believe in at
tempting to make tributary system.
Believing in the platforms demand for
a repeal of the State bank tax he did
not believe in doing so haphazard.
Present conditions would have to be
changed before it could be done safely.
The dcbato closed at 2:l0 o'clock and
vote was taken on the Cox amend
ment to repeal the 10 per cent tax
outright. The vote was announced as
yeas 102; nays ITO. The announce
mcnt was received with slight ap-
plause.
