fable es proposition OF business or
morals for the Southern California and
Southern Pacific Railway companies to
refuse to move trains without Pullman
cars?"
"Yes. thought they wsre."
"Were MIR. Wade and Mr.. MAR, in
your opinion. then guilty of any offense
against the United States in refusing tn

were not permitted to attach Pullman
cars to their trains?"
"No, SIR"

Mr.. John u. Reed had no opinion at
the time the investigation began.
Mr.. Samuel Reese believed employees
have right to combine to get fair
wages 30 long as they do no unlawful
acts, and Louis Webb answered in a
similar manner.
VIM. Fl. McVsin knew nothing about
the law when the Investigation began,
and had no prejudice in any way.
7. D. Jones considered labor organiza.
tions praiseworthy until organized in
opposition to law. He did not suppose
they wers organized against the law, or
they would not be go numerous and gen.

his actions as g juror.
VIM. F. Ball had no bias or prejudice.
The examination of HI. 7. Sweet was
out OF the usual order. He was asked if
he did not say in conversation in his
Office, July 4th, after this trouble had
come up, being then juror, that the
strikers ought to be filed with lead, and
denied that he said it, explaining that
in the conversation he was speaking
about what ought to be done in case of
destruction OF property. f. w. Hollen-
beck and Gregory Perkins, ST., were
called and testified that MIR. Sweet did
make the remark attributed to him.
while q Mr.. Jeffries called said the re-
mark was made in the sense Mr.. Sweet
claimed it was used. Mr.. Sweet grew
quite excited over the matter and ex-
planned his position very voubly by
permission OF the court.

'No, SIR"
"Did you rot travel over the road as

II might answer, as detective"
Wasn't it part OF your duty to de-

ITO see whether men were putting

John I. Fay had no bias at any time.

Before proceeding with business Judge
Ross said that it had been Impossible
for him to take up the Hesrtt case, and
it would probably be several days before
he would be able to give it the careful
consideration he wished to give it.
The matter OF the examination OF the
members OF tho federal grand jury was
then taken up. 1t was proposed oy the
counsel for Cune and the other indicted
men to inquire into the state OF mind OF
the jurors at the time Of their investiga-
ton Of the charges against the A. X. U.

court allowed the inquiry to proceed
without further adjournment.
The queries for the defense were
mostly nut by G, G. Stephens. although

contented himself with one or two gem
eral questions in which the Jurors, one
and all. stated that they had acted fairly
and impartially in the investigation.

grand jury, in reply to questions, said
that he had no connection, business or
otherwise, with the railroad companies
or their officials.

Az far as operating trains goes the
railways are ahead in the great strike,
though the A. R. U. men claim that the
companies can only get very few nom
union men, and that those they do get
are incompetent. The strikers preserve
. confident attitude and appear sure OF
success.
The railway officials announced last
night that local trains would be oper.
ated today ON schedule time. Yesterday
many local trains were started, and the
Santa Fe got its overland train out with
q Pullman in the morning.
In the federal court Judge Ross again
deferred deciding the Heartt case.
The grand jury was questioned indi-
vidually by the attorney for the in
dcted A. r. U. men, ss to its mental
point of view of the strikes. One man
was found who admitted having besn
employed by the Santa Fe as detective,

he called waiter to him, bat the man
said: "Iou are a ecab; | am q union

local trains running out OF San Francisco

expected to be run in reasonable man
ner, and as often as the ordinary busi-
ness OF commerce requires.
Your attention is further called to
section 1864, revised statutes, making
all railroads post roads of the United
States.
Ip this connection beg leave to say
that it may be impracticable for the
company to operate trains carrying
Pullman cars at the presen. time. but
this does not excuse that company from
carrying mails Of the United states on
all other trains.
Very respectfully,
GEORGE J. DENIS,
United States Attorney.

Special United States Attorney.
In explanation of the instructious
Messrs. Denis and Call of the Unitsd
States attorneys Office said:
Through trains require for the COM
fort and accommodation OF passengers
sleeping cars, and that these trains were
mail trains OF the United States and,
under the law, are entitled to be pro-
tected; that local trains not carrying
sleeping cars were also mail trains OF
the United States, and the duty OF the
railroad companies is to carry mails
upon all these trains. II for any reason
it is impracticsble for the railroad at
any time to carry through trains with
sleeping cars. they are not excused for
that reason for not running local trains
carrying mails. The government is en-
forcing tie law upon all persons, to re-
quire that the mails OF the United States
should be carried in the manner provid-
ed By law. and that commerce must be
kept free."
Mr.. Johnson was seen later and he
said that 1.-The situation was growing
hourly brighter, locally at least. Our
mail trains will soon be in full opera
ton and we anticipate no tronble what
ever. l have received word from Las
Vegas that the overland mail arrived
there in good shape this morning, aud

layed eastern mail will arrive in this

moonlight fell upon the sea and phowed
him a shipwrecls with 100 struggling
passengers. He helped them off. Had
he been any earlier or any later at that
point of the sea he would have been of no
service to those drowning people. On
board the captains vessel they began to
band together rs to what they should pay
for the rescue and what they should pay
for theprovisions. "Ah,' says the captain,
"my lads, You can't pay me anything.

you to take any pay" Just like him.
He never got any pay except that of his

Oh, that the old sea captains God
might be my God ard yours. Amid the
stormy seas of this life may we have al
ways some one as tenderly to take care
of us as the captain took care of the
drowning crew and the passengers. And
may we come into the harbor with as
little physical pain and with as bright
hope as he had, and if it should happen

translation of Don oui.ote.u

Of the book it may be said, saving
only the Bible, it has been translated
oftener and into more languages than any
other. A recent Spanish editor, Don
Lopez de Fabra, enumerates $50 editions
of the Spanish masterpiece in foreign
languages. That computation is GER
tainly short of the truth.
Not only are there more translations
in English of "Don Quixote" than in
any other language, but it is England
which from the first has done more
honor to the authors work than any
other country. The first critical edition
of Don Quixote" in Spanish, with the
first life of Cervantes, by Mayans y
Siscar, was published in London in 173S,
more than 40 years before the Spaniards
had aroused themselves to do honor to
their greatest writer
This edition, in four handsome vol
umes, was printed sumptuously in all
the glory of the Tonson press, under the
auspices of Lord Carteret, at an age
when don Quixote" was still appearing
in his native country on filthy ballad
paper in execrable type, uncorrected and
unadorned. That which is perhaps still
the best annotated edition of don Quix-
ote" in Spanish was the work of the
learned and painful John Bowie, canon
of Salisbury, which appeared in 1881. 1t
is said to have been the rumor of this
undertaking, in which. Bowie spent IA
years of his life. which made the Span
ish academy hurry with their great edi-
ton OF 17SO.-Notes and Queries.

Cleveland Before the Camera.

Sometimes the unexpected prevents the

inauguration of President Cleveland.

nurse and Miss Ruth were accordingly

a little suspicious" Mr.. Cleveland said.
The nurse came in promptly, but with
out Ruth. She put her foot down, as
women will sometimes, and declared:
'.She shall not have her picture taken
today. Ifshe should. Mr.. Cleveland will
never live to be inaugurated." That set
tied it, for the will of Ruth's custodian
was law in that household. Then

to sit for me.
"Well," he said in his calm way, ''you
photographers bother me Great deal
and do not care much about having my
picture taken.
''Let me take you standing in front OF
your house. Possibly you may not care
particularly now, but 10 years hence
these pictures will recall pleasant days

Florists Decorations.

tifed, their show windows enlarged and
the utmost efforts put forth to make
an effective display that will attract at.
tention from the passerby. This is
generally done by the artistic grouping
of masses of superb flowers together
against a background of greens or by
providing something out of the common
in contrast effects.
One florist created decided sensation
lately by having a windmill in his win

blazed alternately red and white as doz-
