MOTHER AND SON IN FRANCE.

President Casimir-Perier, like his pre-
decessor, has some excellent ancestral
training back of his own able career.
His mother is one of the noble women
who raise sons worthy of the state, and
1t is owing to her influence that he ac-
cepted the eminent position which no
man with his senses quite envies him.
The French mother is unlike mothers
Of other countries, inasmuch as she
rules the children Of her house and
never ceases to be unto her sons both
law and a sentiment Peculiarly
characteristic of France, this close at
tachment is most beautiful, and, in
spite of the novel which always repre-
sents the Frenchman shrieking for
ma mere on the least provocation, it
is one of the best safeguards of the ma
ton. Women have not been emancipat-
ed as rapidly in France as they have in
other lands, for the simple reason that
they have not felt the need of greater
freedom of thought or action. The
secret of this supine attitude lies in the
tender relations of the family life, exist
ing especially between mother and son.

MORE DEvILTRY IN OAKLAND.

West Oakland, Cal, July 17.-An
attempt was made last evening to blow
up the local train connecting with the
o'clock boat from San Francisco. A
cartridge of giant powder was placed
on the track. 1t did some damage to
the engine. but happily resulted in no
injury to either the crew or the pas
sengers.
The train was we'll filled. and left the
mole about fifteen minutes late. When
it reached Kirkham street, there was a
loud explosion, then a flash of flame,
followed by dense smoke.
So strong was the shock that the
train was brought TO standstill.
There was much excitement among the
passengers and a rush to escape
through the windows or over the gates.
The conclusion shattered the win
dows of the cars and of residences
along the line of the track. The engine
was twisted and broken by the shock.
No one was injured.

EXPRESSED HIS DOUBTS.
Attorney General OIney on the
Southern Pacifc Suit.


Washington, July 17.-Attorney Gen
eral Olney today expressed his doubts
of the correctness of the published re-
ports as to the basis and purpose of the
suit brought against the Southern Pa
cific Railway company at Los Angeles.
Late last week, the attorney general
received telegram from Attorney
Denis, stating he had reasons for be-
leving the Southern Pacific was not
making proper efforts to run its trains,
and asking for authority to file against
the company a bill in equity under the
antitrust act of July 2, 1890.
This authority was given, and its in
tention was to compel the company at
least to try to fulfill its contracts with
the government for the carrying of the
mails, and also to make an effort to-
ward resuming interstate traffic The
conduct of the Southern Pacific COM
pany had been in marked contrast
with that of some of the other compa-
MES in this respect; and it was the at
torney-generaPS understanding the suit
would be brought to compel the per-
Torrance of its duties under the law
and as far as he knew, for no other
purpose.
Mr.. Olney questioned the correctness
of that part of the report which stated
that one purpose of the suit was to
cancel and annul all agreements by
which the Southern Pacific and certain
other companies Were consolidated. It
is the opinion of the officials at the de-
partment of justice that such CONSOLE
dations are not only legal, but were
contemplated by the interstate com
mere act. Just what the facts are has
not yet been learned

IMMIGRATION LAWS.
Complaints Are Made Against TIL cir
Working.

Washington, D. c., July 17.-Com-
plants from the American Exchange
company against the working of GER
tain branches of the immigration laws
have occupied the attention of the
House Committee on immigration at
its last three sessions. The particular
detail of the system with which the
shipping interests are dissatisfied is the
arrangement governing immigrants
who land at Canadian points bound for
the United States. This arrangement
was made by the treasury department
for the support of immigration about
one year ago, negotiations being made
with Canada steamship companies with
the tacit consent of the Canadian gov
eminent, although no treaty covering
the matter was entered into. United
States inspectors are stationed at Can
adam ports to examine immigrants and
from each person bound for the United
States a fee of so cents is collected the
fee constituting a sort of guarantee
fund to cover expenses of returning
foreigners in case they become a pub
lie charge about entering the United
States. They are provided with checks
after the inspection which permit them
to enter the United States. 1t is the
contention of the steamship companies
that the systems give an advantage to
the Canadian competitors since the
ships landing at United States ports
are obliged to return at their own ex-
pense all immigrants who prove to be
paupers or ex-convicts or become pub
lie charges within a year after their ar
rival. Superintendent Stump today
said that the only alternative was to
police the Canadian borders and have
the inspection carried on; otherwise the
system would entail expense it it
would not be entirely impracticable
The steamship companies complain that
the law compelling them to support i'm
migrants pending an investigation of
their eligibility works hardships upon
them. AT the meeting of the commit
tee yesterday the complaint was con-
eidered and the matter will be taken

st. Paul, Mimi, July lion Thurs
day. the receivers of the Union Pacific
railroad will be asked to appear be-
fore the court, pursuant TO an order TO
show cause why large number of the
branch lines of the Union Pacific road
should be no longer considered or con-
Quoted as a part of the Union Pacific
system. and not be hereafter regarded
as Independent lines. The reason for
this action is that these branch lines
are not earning sufficient money to pay
operating expenses and taxes. They
are constant drain upon the income of
the Union Pacific road, which has been
obliged to advance money to maintain
them. and the receivers ask that their
action at previous times in making
these advances be approved by the
court. The names of the branch lines
are indicated in the petition as follows:

HE DESERVED LENIENCY.
Experiences of Veteran of the War in
New York

New York, July 17.-William H. Leck-
Ter. veteran of the war, came from
the Soldiers Home at Hampton, Va.
to this city a month ago to look for
work. He need not have come for he
had as good living as he could have
wished for the remainder of his life in
the home, but his aged wife lay dying
in Philadelphia without any means of
support. Their only son, who had pro-
vided for the mother, crippled himself
accidentally and was not able to make
a living for himself, let alone his
mother. Leckler secured employment
with William Force, ship merchant
but he had only been at work two
weeks when he received word that his
wife was dying for the lack of the nee
essaries of life. That night Leckler
was given $245 to deposit in the bank.
With this money he went to PhiladeI-
phia and provided for his wife's wants.
He then returned to the home at
Hampton where he was arrested
When Force learned his story he hired
an attorney to plead for him. Leckler
said he had served during the war and
had been promoted for bravery. Then
the judge said: when a man has
served his country as you have and
led the life you have, he deserves len
iency. I will suspend the sentence
