WASHINGTON, Jan. 25, 1S95.-Chairman

Means, when he came on the floor OF
the House today, said he would ask the
House to take up the bill to repeal the
one-tenth of cent diferential duty i'm
posed on sugars imported from countries

He said to Mr. Meyer Dem, Ia.) that
there would be opportunity given to

Of the bill.

in favor of it.. He admitted that the over

Dsycusably unlawful--not only gross
violation of international law, but also
of the American doctrine of non interven-

duty of the American Government to

CHICAGO, Jan. 25, 1894 special from
Benton Harbor, Mich, says:-William
Dallin's mammoth scheme to build an
air line railway from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, at an estimated cost of $40O 900
has been his sole ambition for some time.
Being unable to interest capital in this
country in his great enterprise he went
to Europe eighteen months ago, return
ing recently with financial assurances
sufficient to warrant furthering the enter
prise. Surveys have been made from Jer-
sey City to the Mississippi River, and
VIII go Indirectly through to San Fran
cisco. Interested people in this city say
MIR. Dallin's intention is to ask Congress
to endorse The bonds of the road at q 8
per cent. rate, giving ample security. He
is associated with Mr.. Caldwell of Chi
cago, and they are backed by European
capital. The matter is all ready to go
before Congress, and VII probably come
up some time this winter. This line will
shorten the railway distance 700 miles

Two of Mr.. Ruskin,s remarks on the

rather large order.
Among Mr. Ruskin's MS treasures
were the original MSS. Of three Of
Scott's novels. Ruskin had great adj
mirat:on for Scott, as his conversation
often showed.
He said that Scott was the only novel:

of storytelling, without any purpose Of

COTTON BELT HOLD UP.
Two Masked Men Earn $25, 000
With Their Guns Posse
In Pursuit.

PINE BLUFF, Ark, Jan. 25 1S95-TWo
masked men last night plundered an ex-
press car on a Cotton Belt train near
Mcneil, and are supposed to have Sc
cured about S25,0O0.
AS the south-bound passenger train
was passing through deep cut few
miles from Mcneil station at 7:05 o'clock
last night the robbers, who were riding
on the blind baggage car clambered
over the rear of the tender and made
their way toward Engineer Crowley. The
latter CHANGED to turn his eyes toward
the train and observed the two figures
as they drew themselves up from the
tool box at the rear of the tender and
before he could move from his seat his
unexpected visitors had shuffled through
the pile of coal and were covering both
himself and his firemen with guns. 81
Crowley was. commanded to instantly
stop the train, and he obeyed. He was
then marched to the express car, which
was in charge of Messenger J. w. Mas
sey. The door was opened upon COM
mand: the messenger was covered by
the bandits. In the meantime Conductor
o. C. Harris went forward to ascertain
the cause for the stop. He was also
told not to move or make an outcry
or he would be killed. He was relieved
of his watch and what cash he had upon
his person
After an Intellectual attempt to open
the safe in the express car the bandfts
compelled the messenger to assist them.
The watch and chain taken from Con
ductor Harris were returned to him upon
the assurance that they belonged to him
individually. The passengers We're not
molested, and did not know Of the rob-
berry until it had been accomplished and
the men had escaped.
1t is thought that members of the Cook
gang number two, who were implicated
IN the recent train robbery near Ogaa-
NAV, Ark, and released for want Of
proof, are the men who did the Job.
They had at that time remarked when
leaving TO the officers, you have the
laugh on us this time, put we will come
again. It is believed they made good
their threat. Mcneil is a small station
seventy miles north OF Texarkana, thirty
miles south of Camden, and near the
place where the north-bound train rob
berry was committed on the Cotton Belt
Railroad a short time ago.

CHARLEY VAN KLUREN's SALARY
1t Took Him SIX Nouflis TO Find Out
H Had Been Reduced.

Last summer, when the tax budget was
made up, the Est of the city's employees
was cut down and salaries were reduced
right and left There was such a shaken
up in order to keep the tax rate from
being any higher that some of the clerks
whose salaries were reduced said nothing,
being only too glad that they had not
been dismissed There were also some
clerks and employees who were not aware
that their salaries had been reduced.
One of that class was Charles Van
Keuren, who manages to hold on to the
Office Of Assistant Chief Engineer no
matter how the political cat jumps.
Unknown to Charles, his salary was cut
down from $2,400 to $1,000. The fiscal
year did not end until December l, 1894;
consequently his warrant was 5000 each
month. When his December pay was
handed him he was surprised to find it
called for $166.66. He made a hurried
investigation and found that his SER
month by the reform government than
the old officials. Charlie began to pull
wires, and now he has everything in
pretty fair shape to be returned to his
old salary. S
In an appropriation of $500 for supplies
to the engineering department there is
a surplus of S400 Charles is willing to
accept that $500 whenever he can get it.
The Finance Commissioners will prob
ably give 1t to him in the course of
few weeks. 1ey{4E
Van Keuren's friends are having
laugh at him for not knowing his salary
had been reduced six months before he
found it out.

FOR MOTHERS SAKE
Clarence S1ocum's Heroic
Endurance of Deadly
Injuries.
BOTH HIS LEGS CRUSHED
Mysterious Happening at Marion
Station = Death in Half
An Hour.

Clarence Slocum, twenty-three years
old. of No. 2OS Tonnele avenue, had his
legs crushed by Pennsylvania Railroad
train at the Marion station at seven
o'clock last night. He was returning
home from his work. He left the train
and walked along the platform towards
the stairs leading to the street. Just what
occurred, or how he got under the wheels
of the car nobody knows. No one saw
the whole of the accident.
All that is known is that as the
train started slowly out Of the
station there was a piercing scream.
1t was taken up by the few
passengers who had not yet left the de-
pot, and was heard by the engineer, who
Immediately brought the train to stand
still. The train hands and passengers
rushed to the platform whence the
screams came.

did not lose consciousness, and displayed
great fortitude. He was carefully laid
upon the platform. A stretcher was Sc.
cured and he was borne to his home on
the shoulders of four men. When he ar
rived there, his mother, seeing his form
on the streteher, became hysterical. The
young fellow, amid all his suffering,
thought of her feelings. She flew to his
side with an agonizing cry, and would
have tainted, but he spoke to her in such
a cheerful manner that she was partially
re-assured, and as she could not see the
extent of his injuries, she thought it
might not be quite as bad as she at first
supposed. He handed her his hat and
gloves, and in a cool and calm tone
said

tude it could be seen that he was indeed
seriously injured. His face was drawn
with pain and he grew weaker and weak

his head and gave the parents but little

date amputation of both legs was neces-
sary. He performed the operation in a
skillful manner, but the patient continued
TO grow weaker, and half an hour later
died.
slocum was well known among
the young men of the Hill. He was an
attendant at st. Paurs Episcopal Church
on duncan avenue. and was a member
of the Golden Links Society of that
church. He was an accomplished banjo-
ist, and often played at amateur enter
lainments. He was to have played in
Hoboken last night. With several other
young men he formed the Golden Links
Glee and Banjo Club. He was employed
in the Pintuch Electric Light Company's
Office in New York
