RAILROADS AT PEACE.
So Far as Passenger Traffic Is
Concerned.
But the Missouri Pacific Has Made
Cut in Through
FreightS.

CHICAGO, May 12.-The lines OF the
Western Passenger Association are now
hopeful that the rate question with which
they have been struggling for so long is in
fair way to get settled and moreover
they expect the settlement will amount to
something and will not be kicked into
nothing before the ink on the agreement
has been dried. There is no louger any
room for them TO doubt that the Atchison,
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific have
finally made an agreement with each other
and they are in a position to manipulate
as they like the California business Of the
association if the other lines are not dis
posed to accept their terms, which. fortu-
natsly for themselves, the other lines are
disposed to do.
The emigrant divisions Of business. over
which all the trouble has arisen, will be
settled by allowing the Union Pacific
something less than it originally claim ed
on the through business to 1.-THE Pacific
Coast and thus making it slightly in
creased percentage on the Colorado busi-
ness.

which are the only two roads vitally in
terested in the California business besides
the three roads which have formed the
agreement, are willing to have the thing
settled on any basis agreeable to the
others. and there really seems to be
nothing in the way of a final settlement

GOLD is GOING OUT.
Causes No Great Alarm in Wal
Street.
Nevertheless There Is Already De.
sultory Talk of a New
Bond Issue.

NEW YORK, May 12.-There Is no let up
in the export movement of gold, and as
the sub-treasury is supplying the demands
of the shippers, the treasury reserve is
steadily dwindling TO the 500. COO mark.
This is the only feature of the movement
that excites attention, as 1t reyives the dis
cussion about the possibility OF another
Government loan. Had the drain to
Europe come al time when the home de-
mand for money was large the effect in
Wall street would have been decidedly un-
favorable, but as the local market is
glutted with funds the financial conmun.
ity concerns itself mainly with the treas
ury matter just alluded to.
The engagements reported for to-day's
steamers were as follows: Lszard Freres.
$1,000, 600; Reidelbacb. Iekelhemer & Co.,
OO,00O; Ladenburg. Thalman 81 Co..
S5OO.O0O. and Koskier. Wood & Co..
$500, OO0-a total of S2,9Oo.000
Some bankers profess TO believe that the
foreign demand Is about satisfied. but
there is more or less conjecture about this,
and everything depends upon the amount
of bills that will be made against ship
ments of produce or securities during the
next couple of weeks.
WASHINGTON. May 12.-Representative
Patterson of Tennessee has introduced in
the House a bill providing among other
things for the issue Of short term per
cent bonds redeemable in coin, the pro-
ceeds to be used for maintaining parity
between gold and silver, for abolishing
the tax on circulating notes of State
banks, making the tax on national bank
notes a quarter Of 1 per cent, allowing
national banks to issue circulation equal
to the par value OF bonds deposited with
the treasury. and to coin into standard
dollars $50, 156, 537 out of the silver bullion
now in the treasury purchased under the
Sherman act. The coinage is TO become
a part of the general cash in the treasury.
The gold reserve in the treasury at the
close of business was S92, 232, ,752, and the
cash balance $122, 306. 063.

New York can add nothing to the glory
OF Columbus. but she may enforce the les
son of his life and discovery. The fire
kindled by him on the western hemisphere
amid the darkness of the fifteenth century
has become the flame which illum1na ates
the nineteenth with light and liberty. The
Colnmb bian idea of discovery was to find
land whose gold could be mined from ex-
haustless stores, land flowing with rivers
of diam onds and precious stones. Limit
less wealth, easily acquired, was to enrich
beyond the dreams of avarice the eover-
eign of Spain. He had no conception Of
the adventurous pioneer and thrifty emf
grant,
The Imagination cannot picture his
amazement could he have foreseen the
marvellous results Of the Mayf1ower's yoy-
age. The wealth poured in such abund-
ance from the mines of the New World
into the treasury OF Spain was potent
factor in the fall of her power and prestige
in Europe. The founders of our republic
welcomed with cordial hospitality all who
came to escape oppression or better their
condition. The emigrants who accepted
the invitation and landed by millions On
our shores brought the qualities and pur-
poses which have added incalculably to the
wealth of our country.
Four centuries separate us from Colum
bus. Within this period more has been
accomplished for humanity than in the
5000 years which preceded him. We are
here to dedicate this statue to his memory
because of the unnumbered blessings to
Am erica and to the people of every race
and cline which have followed his discov-
cry. His genius and faith gave to sue
ceeding generations the opportunity for
life and liberty. We. the heirs OF all the
ages, In the plenitude of our enjoyments
and the prodigality of favors sEowered
upon US, hail Columbus, hero and bene-
factor.

Some Good News for the Merchants
of San Francisco,


of San Francisco.
Eugene Hinton, general agent Of the
Panama Railroad in San Francisco, spoke
last night in an assuring manner on the
latest action OF his company. What be
had to say was just what San Francisco
merchants would like to hear, for it re-
lieves the load of apprehension that they
would once again come under the ban of
Pacific Mail methods that formerly had
locked uD the Golden Gate practically and
made this city an inland town. In brief
his statement was that the reasonable
freight rates established by the North
American Navigation Company between
this port and New York will be main
tanned.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company
will be driven from the seas. so far as its
through freight business between these
two ports is concerned.

A satisfactory way of accommodate
ing plants is to have a window garden
Get a wooden box the length of the
window sill and about eight inches
wide. Line this box with zinc. Fill
the box with earth. Then get some
FERNS and vines and few hardy plants
at the florists and transfer the plants
from the pots to the box. Attach some
iron braces to the window sill SO that
the box may be on a level with it in
the room. Or the box may rest upon
end supports made of iron rods.
Another method Of making a. window
garden is to place table close to the
window sill and on a level with it.
This table should not be more than a
foot wide, and as long as the window.
Upon the table place some hardy
plants, graduating the height of the
plants so that the highest are in the
center, lower ones being on the out
side, and the outer pots being filed
with vines that drop over the edge of
the table.

yourself the pleasure of window

feelings this summer.
