RAILROAD MATTERS.
Items Of Interest Cleaned Here and There
Yesterday.
No Attention Paid Il.

Officials of Chicago roads at least
have determined to pay no further at
tention to the interstate commerce act.
Some have for years acted on this de-
cision. The remainder are now forced
to adopt it by this action. Judge
Crosscup's decision shattered the last
hope OF any good to be derived from
the act in its present form. Only the
most perfunctory attention will now
be paid to it until it is amended in
such u way as to make it amount to
something A repeal of the entire
act would be better for both railroads
and the public than an attempt 10 en-,
force 1t in its present shape.
strong and conservative lines are
the natural friends OF the act, but
the tealty has been strained by the
fact that their obedience 70 the law
has been the cover under which
other lines cut rates. Under present
methods OF operating railroads it is
impossible for any line to maintain it's
proportion of the aggregate earnings
and consistently obey the interstate
commerce act. Competing lines break
almost every section of 1t every day.
No road can maintain its earnings and
not meet every act of its competitors,
whether legal or illegal. Conservative
lines have tried more or less to disre-
gard this axiom of railroading, and
now they have thrown down the bars.
There is probably not q railroad in
America today which would refuse to
meet a cut rate If it were convinced 81
competitor mad quoted it and would
get the business If the rate were not
met. This universal policy has bad
look with the interstate commerce act
still in evidence. 1t calls for radical
amendments to the act or its early re-
peal.
Perhaps the most notable illustra-
tion OF this change in opinion is that
even the fate of the Patterson and
German bills will be disregarded by
Eastern lines. They are almost or en-
tirely unanimous in their wish to
form the proposed freight and pas
senger pools without further delay.
Aside from the difficulties OF forming
these pools the only apparent objec-
| tiOu will be found in obtaining the
membership of receivership lines.
Less than month ago each of them
received instructions from headquart-
ers to join no pool under penalty of re.
moval of the receivers by United
States courts. Those instructions put
a stop to the pooling plans for the
time. Now they have been revived
with practically unanimous backing,
and both pools will be fully discussed
at the New York meeting today and
tomorrow. Whether they are formed
or not Eastern lines will, under in
siructions, be operated exactly as il
the Interstate act had never occupied
space In the statutes.

TERRA FIRMA.
The Resistance of the Earth's Surface to
Defamation.

The Resistance of the Earth's Surface to
Reformation.
A very large part of the educated
public believes that the earth is
molten globe, specifically enveloped
by a chilled crust, and a magazine ar
ticle in support of such theory has re-
Gently attracted much attention. Very
many of the natural philosophers con-
slider it most probable that the rocks at
and near the surface of the globe would
expand in melting. If the earth were
thus constituted time would come
when the solid crust would crack from
its own weight, or from some moderate
internal disturbance, and then block
after block of the crust, re,
gion after region of the world
we know and love so we'll, would
plunge slowly and heavily to meet the
rising, molten flood, while whirlwinds
of scalding steam would shroud perish
ing humanity.
Aside from ignoble fears, there seems
scarcely any topic better suited to eX-
cite a legitimate intellectual interest
among men than this most funda-
mental question concerning that little
planet, our world. Is it molten
globe, with pellicle of cool dry land,
or is it really terra firma, a solid earth?
The public may accept the theory of
terra frma in peace, as all the argu-
ments which have not been shown to
be inconclusive or false indicate that
the earth presents resistance to de-
formation about as great as if it were
a solid steel ball, and that it actually
is solid to, or nearly to, the center.
The permanent determinations to which
it has been subjected near the surface
are enormous, and their amount is sell
dom appreciated, by astronomers or
physicistsi but these determinations
have been produced for the most part
by the ''Aow of solids, and there is no
known incompatibility between such
distortions and the theory of a solid
earth. - George F. Becker, in North
American Review.

THE DOORBELL.
Character of People Can Be Told by the
Way They Ring.

Character of People Can Be Told by the
Way They Ring.
Doorbells are pretty good indicators
of character. Probably you have not
been conscious of it, but every time you
pull doorbell you register what man.
ner of man you are. Your ring will
not tell everything about you, from
the color of your eyes to your taste in
flowers, but to those who know the
signs the doorbell is as good as title
page.
Anyone who has had occasion to an
swer doorbells knows how much diff
ference there is in them. One persons
method varies very little from time to
time, though the difference between
that method and somebody else, while
slight, will be sufficiently well marked.
1t is seldom that two rings are exactly
alike.
The housewife recognizes each-the
impatient man, who pulls the bell twice
in quick succession, and does not wait
long before trying it again; the one of
more phlegmatic temperament, whose
ring is slower and more substantial,
the hesitating woman who draws the
knob out in succession of nervous
jerks; the seedy individual with
matches to sell, who stretches the wire
carefully to its full length, and then
allow it to relax with faint apollo
getic tinlSle; and the jolly friend who
knows he is welcome, and therefore
grasps the knob with hearty swing
that is fairly eloquent with good ma
ture, and sets the bell shaking its sides
with such peals of echoing laughter
that it positively can not stop at once,
but subsidies gradually with a merry,
irrepressible little litter. A door bell
has as many voices as visitors.-Yan-

APPROPRIATION BILLS.
The great appropriation bills will
engage the attention OF the house now
that the Bland silver bill is disposed
of. There are five appropriation bills
now on the calendar, an unusual
advance at this time in the session.
Representative Sayers, chairman of
the appropriations committee, has now
arranged to begin on the torIitication
bill and to follow i, with the pension
bill, the District of Columbia bill and
the suudry civil bills i'll the order
named. These measures have
right of way without the
special rule, and their con-
sideratiohs will proceed from day
to day until all four are passed, and
Mr.. Sayers counts on passing the ap-
preparation bill in about an hour, as
he anticipates no opposition. 1t car
ries a total of about $5,000,00O for sea
coast batteries and various fortified.
tions. The pension appropriation bill,
which comes next, carries about $l5l,
100000 This measure Is likely to
bring out an animated debate on the
pension system. The total of the bill
is 100000 less than the appropria-
ton last year.
MONETARY CONFERENCE.
None of the oliver men in the house
of representatives expressed any sur
prise when informed of the discOurag'
ing remarks of the British chancellor
of exchequer, Sir Vernon Harcourt,
on the outlook of re.assembling the
monetary conference. Representative
McCteary of Kentucky, who was q
delegate from the United States to the
conference, said: "Tbe outlook does
not indicate that an international
monetary conference will be held this
year. There is, however, a growing
Keeling in Europe in favor OF enlarged
silver. England has been in favor o.
gold recommendation for number o.
years, but there are many able meI
like Balfcur, Sir William Hollsw0rth
Sir Henry Macy, Thompson anC
others who favor international BIZ

will be such demand for interna
tional bi-metallism that another con
ference must be held at Paris or Brus-
sells, but it is impossible that it cal
assemble until several leading coun
tries of Europe express a desire for
conference
Senator Allison, another delegate t.
the last conference, read q dispatch
with comment that it is known at al
times that the United States would no
propose another conference.
Representative Bland said that tn.

An Immense Dining Table.

The largest dining table in New York
is the one that fills the main private
dining-room on the upper floor of the
Union League club. 1t is so large that
thirty-five men have been seated at it
without discomfort, and thirty men
find plenty OF elbow-room around its
edge. The custom is to heap the mid
die of it with flowers and then to trail
sprigs Of smi1aS out from the floral
mound towards the various seats. This
enormous table has top surface OF
about two hundred and eighty square
feet and is nearly twenty feet long by
fifteen and half feet broad. 1t is in
reality too large. No conversation can
be carried on from one side to the other,
and when party is seated around il
the men break up into a number Of
local groups and communicate with
distant friends by pantomimie signs
and approving mods when they fail tc
hear what is shouted to them.-St
