The Payment of the Mora Claim.

Madrid, July 31.-Republican and Car
list senators and deputies have addressed
a protest TO the government against the
payment Of the Mora claim without the
sanction OF the cortes. The protest de-
clares that the governments precipi-
fancy I'm settling the claim Is unconstitu-
tional and humiliating, and the conduct
of the United States in taking advantage
of the Cuban insurrection TO press this
claim is an exhibition OF an unfriendiy
disposition. The government has decid-
ed TO pay the Mora claim in three Install
meuts. II is the intention to afterward

RAILROADS MAKE PEACE.
There Will Be No More Var on the Bic
TranScOntiRentaIS.
Tourists Must Pay the Local Rates From
San Francisco, Los Angeles and
San Diego.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-The agreement be-
tween the transcontinental lines has been
signed by all parties interested and will go
into effect as soon as the rate clerks have
finished their work.
The agreement provides that the Califor-
MIA destinations to which round-trip tour
ist tickets may be sold are San Francisco,
Los Angeles and San Diego only. San
Francisco may be the destina-
ton at the rate OF $50 from
the Missouri river for tickets read
ing one way via Ogden or via Barstow or
Moiave, or via Barstow or Los Angeles, or
via Deming, or via Ell Paso, and the return
by any of the above gateways. Los An
geles may be the destination at $50 from
the Missouri River for tickets reading one
way via Ogden and San Francisco, or via
Barstow, or via Deming, or via Ell Paso,
and for the return via any of the above
gateways, except a combination of Ogden
with Ell Paso or Deming.
San Diego may be the destination at 500
for tickets reading both ways, via Ogden
and San Francisco or for tickets reading
one way via Barstow or Deming, or FL
Paso, and for the return by any of the
above gateways.
The revenue on this traffic will be one
half way from the destination of the ticket,
except that the rates via the Shasta route
or by steamer shall be so divided as to
recognize the Southern Pacific arbitrary
rate from its Shasta line and between San
Francisco and Los Angeles.
Rates for tickets to either San Francisco
or Los Angeles which read one way via
Ogden and the other way via Barstow will
divide on the following percentages:
Between the Missouri River and Colo
RADIO common points, II per cent; Colo
RADIO common points and Ogden, IA per
cent; Ogden and Los Angeles, via San
Francisco, So per cent; Los Angeles and
Missouri River, via Barstow, DO per cent.
In this division of rates the Southern
California road is to received an arbitrary
proportion of SO % each way between Los
Angeles and San Diego on all business
interchanged with the Southern Pacific at
Los Angeles.
One-way rates between Missouri River
common points and California points are
fixed as follows: First class, 30-day tickets,
with stop over, $50; first class, continuous
passage, $50; second class, continuous
passage, $40.
1t is explicitly stated that nothing in
agreement shall in any way modify the
rights of the Southern Pacific or the At
lantIc and Pacific under their contract
covering the interchange of traffic via
Mojave.
The proposed conference between the
trunk lines and the Western roads regard
ing commissions and differentials has been
Indefinitely postponed because of the ina
bility of some of the representatives of
some of tue trunk lines to be present.

ly aloof from party politics. I am not op-
posed to teachers, but on the contrary l am
their friend, and desire by this measure to
benefit them and increase their standing,
their influence and their value to the pub
lie. l desire to see the teachers looked up
to and respected, so that parents will at all
times feel that their children are in safe
hands. It is doubtful if this respect can
be shown to teachers if they stray from
their legitimate fields of labor and become
street politicians. The parents look to the
Board of Education for the proper remedy,
and there is no way for the School Direc-
tors to escape the responsibility. No Di-
rector can properly perform his duties as
such and at the same time admit that he
owes his election to the teachers of the de-
partment. As to Superintendent Moul-
der's attitude toward my resolutions, feel
perfectly safe in saying that when he has
given the matter full and fair investiga-
ton, las doubtless he will do, he will, if he is
progressive educational man, agree with
me entirely"

He Tipped the Wrong Person and Be-

A certain Earl, whose disregard of dress
is quite proverbial, called at his tailor's to
pay his bill. A new manager came for
ward to receive the cash, and, not knowing
his lordship, mistook him for a servant.
He examined the account, and after re-
ceipting it slipped sovereign into the sup
posed servants hand, at the same time
saying contdentially:
THAT is a sovereign for yourself, and
you know, if you had only had been a
little sharper it would have been two. You
don get your masters clothes worn out
nan quick enough. In that time he ought
70 nave mad double the amount on that
bill, and it is really worth your while to
get harder brush''
With a half grin the Earl replied:
'Well. We always thought nv brush I'M
commonly hard, andanyhow, his lordship
complains about it''

You are, indeed, very good" said the
Earl, with a meaning smile. ''I may i'm

Colon, Colombia, Jan. 16.-The greatest
excitement prevails here among the native
population, and the American residents
are anxiously hoping for the arrival of a
United States war vessel.
This state of affairs is due to the fact that
placards have been posted in number of
public places announcing that plot has
been formed to destroy Colon by fire, and
this will be done if wages are not promptly
raised in proportion to the cost of living.
The plotters are also designing to destroy
the property of the Panama Railroad
Company and they have threatened to kill
the freight agents of the railroad The
Americans and Europeans are taking
measures to defend themselves and their
property, and most serious trouble is
anticipated.
