About the middle of 1893 there were some
rather, tall stories sent across from the
United states of speed reached by engines

Speeds of seventy miles an hour are Of
are not so common. and there are compare
lively few instances of speed above seventy
five. The writer has never timed anything
higher than seventy-one.
There are certain spots on our main lines,
particularly those from London to the north.
where express trains habitualy run for
miles together at speeds. considerably over
sixty miles an hour: such, for instance,
Northern: or near Ampthill and Harrington,
on the Midland The chief thing is we'll

o few miles of easy gradient and seventy
miles an hour Is obtained without much
difficulty.
Gated speed is that timed comparatively re-
Gently on the Great Northern line. Up to
that the. best record was that of mile in
"A seconds or SIS miles an hour. This speed
was several times reached on various lines,
and II seemed as though II could not be ex-
ceeded until, on the Midland line Mr..
Charles Rous-AIarteu timed two consecutive
miles at the very high speed OF S3.7 miles an

The whisky barrel committee of the
House filed report yesterday afternoon.
Messrs. statesman, Petit ana Bobiya. an
the members of the committee signed the
report, which severely censured Mr.. jack
son and recommended that he be repri-
manded by the Speaker unless he chose the
alternative of apologizing Mr. Petit asked
that the consideration OF the report be post
poned, as Mr.. Jackson is at his home very
ILL., The House agreed TO this. The report
Is as follows:
''your special committee appointed to in
vestigate into the charge made on the floor
of the House by Representative Jackson,
that ON Feb 49, 1885. there was a barrel of
whisky IN the basement of the Statehouse
placed there by the Liquor League for the
purpose Of influencing LEGISLATION and of
lature. do respectfully submit the following
report, TO Wit
"Your committee caused witnesses TO be
summoned and took their evidence under
oath, and elected the following state OF
facts substantially: That for the six years
is now the custodian OF the Statehouse, his
last appointment having been made by the
Hon. Claude Matthews, Governor OF In
diana,
THAT for the term of Office of four years
beginning in 1893. one Michael Cain was
elected by the last Legislature as engineer
of the Statehouse. and since then he has
been and is now such engineer.
THAT said two men, TO wit: Griffin and
Cain, during their respective terms of office

sion OF this Legislature have been and are
now in the charge, management and con-
troll Of all OF the basement Of the State
house
THAT from time to time during the past
six years said Cain has introduced into the
basement thereof not TO exceed AT any time
a quart OF whisky. which was in a bottle,
and exclusively under the control of said
Cain. That at no time since the present
session of the Legislature has said Cain
had in the Statehouse any quantity of
liquor TO exceed from one pint to one quart.
That such liquor was purchased ard intro
euced into said basement by said Cain and
without the knowledge or consent OF any
suance to a custom followed by him during
the past six years. That said liquor was

He says that rough treatment was accorded
his wife and daughter by one of the
cxecutice mansion employees at the recep-
ton last evening given to the army and

daughter together With Mrs. Talbert, and
accompanied by a young gentleman member
OF the family attended the reception. While
standing in line an attache of the White
House attempted to break through the line
with some ladies'. This was resisted by
those who were waiting their turn and the
employee is alleged to have behaved with
great rndeness. 1t is stated that he rough
~ handled Mrs Strait and daughter and
pursued his violence to such extent that
the ladies sustained Il severe nervous shock
and narrowly escaped faintinG away. Mr..
Strait proposes to have the matter thor

RUMoR OF RESERVATIONS.
Democrats Said to He vVil1ing to Re.
sign to Break a Quorum.

There was wild rumor at large yester-
day and last night to the effect that the
Democratic Senators would resign in a body
for the purpose of breaking quorum. The
grievance Of the minority is that they are
not allowed to do the amount of talking
they would like to do. The gag rule that
Republicans were inclined to do the talking
was applied yesterday in the consideration
Of the military bill, and on one or two other
occasions its use has been invoked. The
Democrats do not take kindly to this admin
istration of their own medicine. Another
reason for breaking quorum alleged is
for the purpose of defeating the political
legislation that the Republicans have IN
preparation. 1t is not necessary that the
threat of the Democrats to break a quorum
should be dignified with extended mention.
There are not many members of the mi
nority that would forfeit job that pays IS
a day even for the purpose of vindicating u
great principle, and the crisis is not of that
formidable character to justify the minority
in such a desperate move.

The bill introduced by Senator Watson
providing for an election to determine the
question of removal of the seat OF
Jackson county from Brownstown TO Sey-
mour, failed in the Senate yesterday for
want OF constitutional majority. The
bill was called up by unanimous, consent,
it's author not being present when the bill
was called for on third reading last Wednes-
day. Senator Seller opposed the bill, say
ing that 1t established dangerous pre-
cedent and that It opened the gates for
other county seat disturbances. He was
also opposed to the bill because II conferred
upon certain officers unusual authority.
Senators Newly and Watson spoke for the
bill, defending IL upon the rights OF local
self government and the right OF the people
of Jackson county to settle among them
selves the question OF where the county
seat should be located. The discussion ex-
tended past the noon hour and several Sem
ators slipped out and went to dinner. The
roll call showed 70 ayes and ~ noes. il
may be called up again and will, In all prob
ability, be passed.
