EGAN's NOTE OF WARNING.
Thinks the Republicans of the East
Are Not Aware of the Free
Silver Sentiment of
the West,
the West.

NEW YORK, May fitzpatrick
Egan, ex United States minister to
Chilli, takes issue with Chauncey
Nj. Depew, who recently declared,
after a western trip, that the free
silver craze was dying out. Mr..
Egan, who is known as an ardent
Repu blican, sounds a note Of warn
ing to the Republicans, who seem
over confident OF success in the
next campaign of 1896. He ar
rived from Chicago last night and
thus expressed himself in regard
to the silver movement. 81 doubt
seriously" he said, chat Mr.. De-
pew on his trip came in touch with
the actual sentiment Of the people,.
| fear he has been deluded. Hav-
ing been a resident OF the west and
knowing the people as | do, | am
free to say that | believe the silver
agitation has only begun, and un-
less a reaction sets in, 1t will be-
come cyclonic before the fall OF
1896. Last January | would have
readily ventured the prediction
that any candidate the Republicans
saw fit to nominate in 1896 would
be elected. am now preparing to
revise my opinion in so far as to
say that if a candidate opposed to
the free coinage Of silver is nOmi-
mated his election will at least be
problematical. Republicans should
not be over confident. 1t would
not be bad idea for the party
leaders to send some trustworthy
men to the western states and let
them listen and learn the real SEN
timent Of the people. They will
find that Coins Financial SCHOOL,
and the address OF Arch bishop
Walsh, of Dublin, are becoming
the guide and preceptor Of the
western farmers"

SOME BLOODY BOXING.
The slavins Were not in it With
Their sparring Antagonists


MONTREAL, May 1.-THE box
ing tournament at Sohmen Park
last night proved an interesting
affair. The principal events were
between Billy Woods, of Denver,
and Jack Slavin, OF Australia; and
Martin Costello. of Montreal, and
Bill Slavin, OF Australia. The for
mer was stopped by the police in
the third round, and the other re-
suited in Costello's favor in ten
rounds.
About 10000 persons were pres
ent.
In the Woodstock Slavin mill,
for two rounds, Woods rushed his
man savagely and hit him at will.
AT the end of the third round blood
was streaming from Slavin's face.
He had deep cut under his eye
and seemed completely at the
mercy Of his antagonist.
The ten round go between Cos
| tello and Bill Slavin saw the latter
on the defense throughout. The
bout was characterized by Costel-
los heavy work with his left. At
the end OF the ninth round, the
claret was pouring down Slavin's
breast, while Costello was I'M
touched and as cool as ice. Slavin
rallied in the tenth round, how
ever, and made savage rush,
mixing matters until the gong
sounded. In order to show how he
stood his punishment, Bill took a
running jump over the ring ropes
and made his way to the dressing
room,

Law officers of the governemnt are in
terested in a rumor which was printed
last week to the effect that the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company had notified the
Union Pacific Railroad Company that after
November IL ould refuse to run trains from
Ogden to the Pacific coast in connection With
the Union Pacific trains, thus practically
shutting out the latter road from Pacific
coast business.
No official intimation to this effect has
reached either the Department OF Justice
or the Interstate Commerce Commission,
but the matter is under inquiry by the Of
ficials of both divisions of the government.
No expression of opinion regarding the
possibilities of the case Will be made at
either department, in view of the fact that
it may come before them for action; all
that they win say is, in the language of
Attorney General Harmon: THAT all the
rights of the government, whatever they
are, will he fully protected"
A judicial decision has recently been
made, respecting the obligations rest
ing upon a railroad company to esta blish and
maintain running connections" with an
other, and IT is of interest in this connection.
A CASE IN POINT.
The Oregon Short Line and Utah North
ern Railway Company brought suit against
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company to

compel it to accept at Portland from the
Short Line in the latter's ears, freight
destined for Puget Sound points, advance
to the delivering company the amount of
freight charges due it, and collect the whole
transportation charges from the consignee
at destination.
The order was asked by the Short Line
Company on the ground that it was a run
ming connection" sanctioned by custom
among railroads, and was required not
only by the terms OF the charter OF the North
ern Pacific Company, but by the inter
state commerce act as well.
Judge Field, of the Supreme Court of
the United States, on circuit, refused to is
sue the order, Judge Deadly, of the district
court, dissenting. On appeal TO the cir
cult court of appeals the actioh of Judge
Field was sustained In an opinion rem
dered by Judge Mckenna. Adopting the
definition passed by Judge Field, the court
of appeals said:
"The running connection which must
be permitted by the defendant is not
running over its lines, but only in connec-
ton with ii, a provision intended to secure
the transportation and exchange of freight
between connecting lines, and not the
use of each others roads by the cars of
such companies. We are of opin-
ion that a running connection of one road
with another, within the meaning of the
defendants charter, only includes such
arrangements as the time of arrival and
departure of trains, and as to stations,
platforms, and other facilities as win en-
able companies desiring to connect to do
SO without detriment or serious incon
venience."
NO POWER TO COMPEL.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
early in its existence, according to the
statement of Secretary Mosely, came to
the conclusion, over the dissent of Commits
sioncr Morrison. that. under the law, it
had no power TO compel the establishment
and maintenance of through routes by
the cooperation of certain railroads.
There is, however, Il provision in the act
granting a charter of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company which, it is believed,
can be invoked to- prevent the Southern
Pacific Company from carrying out its
reported intention of breaking off connec-
ton with the Union Pacific at Ogden.

 With another shout to his team, the urchin started them on their return journey, and the rumbling of the wheels on the uneven track continued until the little dancing flames on the boys cap, and on the head of the lead mule, were but mere yellow points of light.

 The men smiled. Jerry's baby was popular with the miners of the Mai fet's Patch shaft. She gave them ador- able oonfidences; she was such a charm ing and trustful friend to these men, rough, grim and dark with coal dust, who iabored all day in this deep hole in the earth, far from sunlight Jerry's baby, with her lisped sentences and little gestures, treated them all as com rades- When they spoke of her, one might think they were talking of a lit tie silver idol of some religion. And her power was never questioned. Her she had done that which no man in the Mnffet Patch had succeeded in doing She had tanned Jerry.

A little group of miners were in the Iow-roofed chamber at tho foot of the shaft. The orange glare from the little oil lamps on their caps made oc- casional swift reflections upon the black walls, and when the men spoke or smiled there was marvellous flashing of teeth from out their dark faces. AL ways, too, there could be seen the gieaming of their eye-balls, of fierce steel-color in this somber light. The greasy cables in the shaft were run ming rapidly, and somewhere in that strange chimney-like hole that extend ed to the faraway daylight, the eleva- tor was falling like missile. 4 sub tly strong odor of powder-smoke, oil, gas, wet earth, was eternally in the nostrils-
 Suddenly, from behind those curtains of ink-lilSe night, that stretched before the passage that led away from the foot of the shaft, there came 8 mystic low rumble the clank and rattle of chains, the whistling slash of a whip, and a boys shout.

The train stopped at the foot of the shaft, and as the urchin un- hooked his team and swung them about he yelled to the men: "Ain't it near quittin' time?"
 The elevator suddenly appeared, like an apparition, with it's load of miners, whose lights aiekered and futtered in reddish movements. The "inside" fore man. as he stepped from the platform, called sharply to the urehin: 'Itll be quittin' time fer you if yeh don't hustle

She caught heavy cold during the winter, and the doctor was called in and prescribed medicine which the baby swallowed with greater or less avidity, according to it's sweetness or nastiness, But medicines did the baby no good, and she was growing so weak and thin that Mrs. Williams found tears starting to her eyes as she looked at her, and Mir. Williams went to the office with very grave face, and worked nervously over his books. Then Grand ma Williams came to the rescue. Take that child down the mine" she said, ''and let it breathe the air there for half an hour each day for week; that will cure her."
 Down the mine!" exclaimed Mrs. Williams, mortified.
 "Yes, down the mine, and she shall go this very day, and l will go with her"

 'No buts about it," said Grandma Williams. John, put on your coat. Mary Ellen, wrap the babp up warmly and stop crying"
 Gr~ndma Williams had her way, the baby went down the deep shaft and in the low black gangway, breathed the gaseous mine air, day after day, and grew strong and lusty again. It was on one of these visits that the baby and Jerry made each others acquaintance.

 Guests were bidden to the affair by notes written on paper decorated with two or three small playing cards-au men hearts-painted in the upper left hand corner. On arrival each received small heart-shaped cards, decorated with tiny cupids, those for the men pro vided with red ribbons by winch to carry them, and those for the women with white. When the play began the count of points was kept at each table on large heart-shaped card, with pencil fastened to it by a long red ribbon. The games were noted on the tally-cards by little red hearts instead of gold stars.
 After a couple of hours play time was called and the prizes were awarded. The first prize for ladies was heart shaped mirror, and that for men, Q pho tograph frame, while the second prizes were q silver pin tray and silver pocket pincushion. The booby prizes were also unique For the ladies there was a whisl1 broom in a heart-shaped case, and for the men, Chinese doll in the shape of a hanging pincushion. The clever verses as well as the articles themselves, were the work of the hostess. On the whisk broom case was painted:

 At one recent card party little rings were distributed to the players instead of tally cards, and the hostess looped little bells through those of the win. ming players after each game, instead of using stars as is the custom. Roses. too, are sometimes distributed to the winners instead of other counters, and those who have the largest punches at the end of the evening win the prizes, which at these flower parties are usual ly large bouquets or baskets of flowers.
