How the Rail Was Fixed.

To illustrate the amount of red tape
now used along the Southern Pacific
Road story is told of recent visit
of an inspection party at Benson,
comprising General Superintendent
Fillmore, Chief Engineer Hood,
Superintendent of Track Hawgood
and Roadmaster Stanton. Near by
was the section boss and his gang. A
defective rail was spotted.
"Hood," said General Superinten-
dent Fillmore, ''that's bad piece OF
track there"
"Hswgood," said Hood, "that's a
poor piece of track there"
Stanton" said Hawgood, "that
rail is bad"
"Pat," said Stanton to the section
boss, sshave that rail fixed.
Said Pat to one of his men. seHere,

WAS INADVERTENTLY
Chairman Babcock Denies Language Att
 tributed , Him.


 Boston, Dec. 6.-The Advertiser will say tomorrow: Colonel Albert Clarke of the Home Market club has his atten- tion called yesterday to an interview published with Chairman Babcock of the republican congressional commit tee. The statement accredited to MT. Babcock seemed hardly creditable to Colonel Clarke who sat down and dic- tated the following dispatch to MT. Babcock:
 Hon. J. w. Babcock:
 Have you said, as reported in Wash ington dispatch, that not one republi- can in five favored the Mckinley bill when passed, that American intelli- gence condemned it, that it was too friendly to manufacturers and not sufficiently friendly to the people? Please answer. (Signed)
 Home Market Club" It evidently did not take long to transmit the dispatch to MT. Babcock, because in a very short time the fol- lowing reply was received:
 Washington, Dec. 6. Home Market Club, Boston:
 The dispatch referred to misrepre- sents in every particular. I have used no such language as you mention.

HE DEFENDS FOOTBALL,
Dr. Shattuck of Harvard Strongly in Favov of the Game


 of the Game.
 Boston, Dec. 6.-Dr. George O. Shat. tuck writes an editorial defense of the game of football in the edition of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, which is issued to-day. His words will have great weight, as the writer is an overseer of Harvard university. Dr. Shattuck says:
 Football is the only sport which in the same measure developes the major- ity of the qualities of which we, as Americans, are most proud. Rather let us sacrifice few bones than give our young men an idea that they must be strong, but careful not to expose themselves to the danger of getting hurt. The time may come when Amer jeans may be called upon to contend against other nations, and if we are to make babies of our youths the im- print of our counsels will be plainly seen upon them. Let us rather make point of seeing that they learn to govern their brute instincts, that only those who are able to do this are per- mitted to indulge in rough play. If . player is known to be brutal he should never be allowed on the field. If man Is or becomes unfit physically he should be kept out of it. But 'once and for all let us not give the youths of the day the impression that the only sports to be indulged in are those which do not call for courage. There is no question by that, before another season opens, changes must be made in the rules and a proper provision made for their enforcement" '.1 .#:

AN IMPORTANT OPINION.
Army Men Are Amenable to the Municipa


 .> Courts.
 E Washington. Dec. 6.-An important opinion as to the amend bility4 of the officers and privates of the regular army to the jurisdiction of the munich pal courts was rendered by the attor- ney general. The latter holds that the expression flaws of the land" in the 18th article of war includes city ordi- nances and bylaws and the soldier may be arrested, tried and punished by the proper civil authorities for the violation of city ordinance, and that if he escapes to a military reservation his surrender may be demanded by the proper civil authorities and should be made by the military officer in com mand. This opinion, if sustained, will have far reaching effect upon the use of soldiers in municipalities; army of- ficers fearing that in certain certain cases the army will be powerless to act in cases of disorder if the alder men pass an ordinance prohibiting the appearance of troops under arms.
 Attorney General Olney cites re- cent case in Vermont. A charter grant ed to village certain powers in the matter of licensing eating houses which were repugnant to general statute. The village made an ordi- nance pursuant to it's charter and the question arose which prevailed-the or dinance or the general law? The de- cision was that the ordinance, as 1t conformed to the charter, repealed from that village the general law, and was in reality special statute. The same principle is affirmed in numerous we'll contested cases.

IVES MADE 4 NEW RECORD,
He Did Wonderful Work in His Billiard
 Game With Schaefer.


 Chicago, Dec Gives broke the worlds record at balk-line billiards, with the anchor barred, twice tonight during the continuation of his tourna- ment with Schaefer. Before tonight the record was 331, made Nat the New York tournament by Ives. By making 53 in the first inning tonight, added to his 2S1 of the night before, the two being one run, he broke his own record by three points, and later in the event by the phenomenal run of 359 again smashed it. At the conclusion of. the nights play the total score stood: Ives 2, 400, Schaefer 1,431. After Ives had played his first inning tonight Schaefer started out and made billiards as fast as the marker could count them, and finally went to his seat on an easy one.
 Frank missed and Jake rolled up 60 and missed a simple one. Frank click ed off >29 and found puzzling masse too hard Ives showed change of form and played fine game. First he passed Schaefer, who was 257 ahead of him on the nights play, then tied and passed his New York record of 331 and his run of 334 made last night and tonight Jointly. But he was not satis- fled until he had rolled up S59. Brilliant strokes were the rule and easy shots the exception. When he finally laid down his cue on draw half way across the table he received an ovation. There were no additional sensational runs. Ives finally went out with 82 points, leaving the balls in good con dttions ,,

IT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND, Provision for the Income Tax Will Not B
 Antagonized.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Statements were circulated to-day that the re publicans in the house would make g strong partisan fight against the ur genoy deficiency bill making provision for the income tax. The sub-commit. tee of the appropriations committed will meet tomorrow. The two republi. can members of this subcommittee are MT. Cannon of Illinois and MT Henderson of Iowa Both gentlemen to-day disclaimed any purpose of an. tagonizing the appropriation.
 They expressed substantially the same sentiments. namely that the tax was the law of the land, that it ought for that reason to be carried into effect and that if the people desired it's re- peal the remedy lay in their own hands, Both asserted that 80 far as they knew there was no concerted effort to defeat the appropriation, although they could not tell what individual mem bers could do when 1t comes before the house.
 MT. Bingham of PennnsYlvania, an other republican, stated that he would oppose the appropriation by his vote and voice. He regarded 1t as probable that every member of the house who opposed the tax on principle would again voice his antagonism to it when the opportunity presented itself. The estimates submitted by the treasury for the expense of collecting the tax for the remainer of the present year are $245, 5,O0O, of which $1s,0o0 is for spe- cial agents. The estimates for the year 1896 are $45o,000.
