AN ANCESTORS INFLUENCE.
Wants n ConsuI's Salary Raised Be-
cause of His Observation-Disclosures.

Washington Special in Philadelphia Press.
Some amusement was created in the Sem
ate to-day by a favorable report made from
the committee on foreign relations by MIR.
Morgan on a proposed amendment TO the
diplomatic and consular appropriation bill,
which amendment increases the salary Of
the c-onsul-general at Tangier,. Morocco.
from 5000 TO 5000. The amendment has
the approval of Secretary Gresham.
In making his report Senator Morgan
filed a letter from the present consul-gen-
eral, showing him 10 be the great-grand-
son OF the first American consul TO that
city. and that the present Sultan sustains
the same relation TO the sovereign of his
great-grandfather'S time. This great
grandson business seems to be the ground
on which the salary is to be increased. The
present consul was resurrected from a
small hamlet in Alabama, and when he
came to Washington he filled up the news
papers with an account of his great-grand-
father, on the strength of whose record he
seems TO have been chosen for the place.
His great-grandfather, though long ago
I'm his grave. seems yet 10 have influence
enough to get the salary increased, al
though the diplomatic and consular bill
has cut down the salaries of consuls in
many other important places. II Is very
doubtful If Congress thinks enough of the
consJu's great-grandfather to give him a
thousand dollars u year more salary.

= Here is pretty tough snake story.
It comes to US second-handed. Our In
formant vouches for the truth; but at the
same time we would have it understood
that we are not responsible. Ono day
last week Mr.. Sam Lauthridge, who
lives near Philadelphia church, sent q
little negro under his house to get the
eggs from hens nest. Shortly after his
disappearance under the house the little
speed crawled backward. Hanging to
his head was writhing and twisting
snake about two and half. feet III
length. Just as he got from under the
house, the boy seized the snake with q
frantic snatch and throw it violently to
the ground, where it was quickly dis.
patched by Mr.. Lauthridge. A careful!
examination showed that the boy had
not been bitten at all; but entangled in
the thick wool, was one of the fangs O
the snake which had evidently been pull
ed out as the boy snatched the reptile
from his head. The snake is said to have
been a spreading" adder.-Yorkuillt

understanding that no decision would
be rendered unless one of the snappers
gave up or was killed. The big turtles
engaged each other at once, each tearing
his antagonists head and neck with

the others clipper. After brief strug-

'hipper' was fast, seized the other by the
neck and they stopped struggling.
Aside from steady weaving motion by
both combatants, there was no demon

men watched them from early evening
until long after midnight, when the
two turtles, each holding his grip on the
other, were carried away from the pit and
placed in the cellar of a deserted house.

of Weakening his hold, although their

shape by the continuous tension of their
jaws"

1t Beats the Wind.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The Elevated
Suspension Elevated Railway Com
pany has been organized to build a
railway on an air line between Chicago
and New York. The distance is $50
miles, and Inventor johnson says it
can be covered in six hours. A dou-
BILE track road is proposed. The rails
will be in the upper part Of an eleyat-
ed steel structure, and the cars will be
suspended from the trucks and have
no support beneath them. The fan
ges on the wheels of the trucks will
run on the outside instead OF the
inside of the rails as on ordinary rail-
ways. Inventor johnson 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 l2O
to $50 miles per hour with a thirty to
thirty-three inch wheel on long runs
of straight track.
"The cars are about six feet in
width by twenty feet in length, with
seating capacity Of thirty persons;
The weight of the car proper is l,ooO
pounds, of the trucks and motor,
which are above and upon the rails,
4 200 pounds, and of the passengers
5000 pounds, making the strain 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 ovcrcom-
ing of obstacles to buildings can be
accomplished by the use OF longer
spans without material increase IN
expense. About SS0,000 per mile
fully covers the cost of construction
of a four-track road and $1,000 pei
mile it's equipment, while a two-track
road can be built and equipped under
100000 per mile.
''There being no solid structure to
act as sounding board, the noise is
less than that of any other system.
The Aexibility Of this system gives an
agreeable motion in riding, and re-
lieves of all jolting and noise OF the
rigid structure. There is perfect free
dom from dust, smoke, steam and GIN
dcrs and in matter of speed, it is be-
yond comparison.

Allan AGAINST Senatorial Speculation.

WASHINGTON. June 7.-One outgrowth
of the sugar investigation took the form
of a bill by Senator Allen of Nebraska, its
title being "A bill to preserve the purity
of national legislation. Mr.. Allen is the
Populist member Of the sugar investiga-
ton committee, and the reports of stock
speculations by senators suggested the
measure to him.
The bill provides that it shall be unlaw
full for any senator or representative dur
ing his term of office to own or be con-
cerned, directly or indirectly, in owning,
buying or selling or in any manner deal
ing in speculative stocks the value Of
which may in any manner depend upon a
vote of congress, nor shall any member OF
congress during his term be a member or
! interested pecuniarily in any board Of
| trade, stock exchange, national bank or
other organization in which such stocks
are bought or sold. f..
Violation of this act is made spunisha-

from the branch of congress to which such
member belongs, and in addition thereto
he shall be subject to Indictment and con
yictiOn.
