A UNION PACIFIC MOVE.
IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS LAST
NIGHT IN THE BIG WAR.
stop Over Privileges Allowed on Cut
Rate Tickets to the Coast-Ex-
tending the Fight East.

The end of the bitter rate war now
being waged between the giants is not
yet in sight, but it cannot be said that
the situation is unchanged. The Union
Pacific last night made the surprising
announcement that hereafter it would
issue the cut rate tickets to San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and
other California points with stop-over
privileges at any of those points. which
means that the $3.50 round trip to Los
Angeles, for instance, includes the priv
ilege of visit to the Midwinter fair
The changes did not end here, either,
for on top Of this announcement came
the notice that the Union Pacific had
put in around trip rate to st. Louis of
s47.5O and to- Chicago of $3.50. This is
extending the fight with vengeance,
but as long as the railroads can stand
it, the public certainly can.

GLADsToNE's RETIREMENT.
1T Causes Intense Satisfaction in
Germany.

II causes intense satisfaction In
Germany.
Berlin, March 3-Although no diplo-
matte questions have arisen between
England and the government during
the last administration of Gladstone,
the news Of his retirement has caused
satisfaction here. The German people
have never gotten over the resentment
occasioned during the Franco-Prussian
war by the unfounded allegation that
Gladstone encouraged the sale of arms
and ammunition to France. In addi-
ton, Gladstone Is regarded as an en-
envy of the driebund, as responsible
for England's isolation in European
policies.
A committee of the reichstag today
adopted the first twelve clauses of the
Russo-German commercial treaty, with
the exception of clause eight, dealing
with import duties, the discussion of
which was deferred. The first eighteen
clauses of the final protocol were also
adopted.
The debates Of the silver. commission
will be chiefly concerned in four ques-
tons: First, is it probable that the
gold production of the future will suf-
flee to cover the demand for coinage
Second, have a lack of gold and the
general depression resulting. from its
enhanced value been noticeable in
countries with gold currency? Third.
what influences have fluctuations ex-
ercised on the monetary and economic
situation of Germany? Fourth, how
could the evils caused in Germany by
the present currency be removed or
lessened? Great interest is taken in
the silver commission, and financiers
are awaiting the result of the delibera-
tons with great anxiety

dren are expected at Abazia on March

SOCIAL HABITS OF INSECTS.
Prof. Riley Says Bugs are Endowed
with the Senses.

Professor c. v. Riley, the bug man
of the Agricultural department, has
caused sensation in scientific circles
here by some rather startling asser-
lions in a lecture delivered before the
Biological society of Washington on
the social habits of insects. Among
other interesting propositions the pro-
lessor asserts that bugs are endowed
with the five senses of man, and in
some cases have the benefits of addi-
tional senses which the human being
does not enjoy. He says they have in
tellectual as well as social powers and
means of communicating with each
other, that they have reason, argu-
ment, judgment and discernment; that
they have amusements and entertain
ments like grown UP people; that they
talk and sing and play, and that they
have certain psychical senses which ex-
coed any possessed by man. He also
asserts that moths have the power of
communicating with each other at a
distance of q mile and a half.
Professor Riley uses as an Illustration
a very remarkable phenomenon, which
came under his notice at Chicago be-
fore the fire. He lived at that time on
East Madison street, and having two
ailanthus trees in his yard, obtained
from the commissioner of agriculture
at Washington some Japanese silk
worms, which feed upon the leavs of
that tree. He says: I kept the first
moths which issued from the cocoon
separate and confined virgin female
in an improvised wicker cage out of
doors on one of the ailanthus trees.
On the same evening l took male to
the old Catholic cemetery on the north
SIDE which is now a part of Lincoln
park. and let him loose, having pre-
viously tied a silk thread around the
base of the abdomen to secure identi-
ication. The distance between the
captive female and the released male
was at least a mile and a half, yet the
next morning these two individuals
were together. &C Chicago Record.
