The following incident occurred at
an entertainment in the provinces last
winter. On the programme a certain
gentleman was down to sing ''The
Miners Dream of Home, and to add
a special effect to the song he, knowing
friend, fireman at the fire station
about three minutes walk from the
hall. ran out and borrowed his topboots.
His turn on the programme came
Eound. He appeared on the stage in all
the glory of red blouse. SLOUGH hat,
white breeches and (the freman's) top
boots. His rendering of the song was a
terrific success up to the middle of the
second verse, when a commotion was
heard at the entrance of the hall A hot
and eager fireman forces his way through
the audience, up to the footlights and
bawls out at the top of his voice:
'FBill you got to come out of them
'ere boots if you value your life. I'ln
called to fire. - Curtain. -Tit-Bits.

TWO ARBITRATION BILLS.
Carroll d. Wright and the Attorney Cen
eraI Put Forward Measures.

Carroll d. Wright and the Attorney Gem
eral Put Forward Measures.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-There is likely
to be a most interesting discussion in the
house committee on labor on the relative
merits of the two plans for arbitration
for which Labor Commissioner Wright
and Attorney General Olney are sponsors.
Commission Wright has a reputation
beyond the limits of the United States as
one of the foremost authorities upon
questions concerning the interests of
labors, while Attorney General Olney is
a high authority upon the legal princi-
pies involved in the movement for arbi-
tration.
There was discouraging dearth of in
terest in the arbitration question for
time among those who might naturally
be expected to lead in the discussion, but
the past week has brought to Chairman
McGann, of the labor committee, MANY
communications giving evidence that the
labor unions are awakening to the i'm
portance of the matter. Some of the
criticisms and comparisons of the two
proposed systems are interesting. Fault
is found in certain quarters with the fea-
ture of Attorney General Olney's plan
which would give the attorney
general power to apply for receiver
who should manage a railroad in the
interests of the public when the employ
ers and employees refused to submit to
arbitration disputes which threatened to
impair, or did injuriously affect the pub
lie interests. Curiously enough the crit
icism passed upon this scheme is that its
tendencies are socialistic and that it is
the longest step which has ever been ad-
vocated by high authority in the govern
ment control of railroads.
An objection offered to Mr.. Wright's
plan for commission by some laboring
men, was that a permanent salaried COM
mission might become allied to the cor
porations in its sympathies. The OIney
plan makes the chairman of the inter
state commerce commission chairman of
the arbitration committee, while his col
leagues are appointed, one by the en-
ployer and one by the employees 1t
is commended by one of Mr.. McGann's
correspondents that two temporary mem
bers might be counted upon to stand for
the interests 1Of their constituents, leav-
ing the balance of power in the hands of
the chairman.
1t is hardly probable that the house
will be able to pass any arbitration bill
this session.

TO THE TOPS OF TREES.
Snow in California Nearly Covers Pine
Trees Sixty Feet High.


Trees Sixty Feet High.
SACRAMENTO CAL, Jan. 23.-The heav-
lest snow storm that has prevailed this
winter is now raging in the mountains
between Shady Run and Emigrant Gap.
Drift after drift is piling up on the rail
road track and the plows are putting and
blowing with might and main in order to
clear way for the eastern mail, which
is slowly and cautiously threading its
way over the mountains.
Hundreds of shovelers are at work toss
ing away the precipitous banks of snow.
Added to the binding volume of snow,
so that lantern stuck in bank cannot
be seen a dozen feet, is the wind
There are three hundred of these men,
and they sleep and eat in railroad out
fit train.
Although the storm is general from
Colfax to Truckee, its center is between
Blue Canyon and Emigrant Gap. The
mountains which rise almost perpendic-
ularly on the north side of the track, are
covered with pine trees, some of which
sixty or more feet high, barely show their
tops through the snow.

SENATOR BAKER WON'T RESIGN
If His Fellow Senators Can Prevail on Him
Not To.

United States Senator elect Luclen
Baker called on Governor Morrill, this
morning and offered his resignation rs
state senator to take effect at noon today.
Governor Morrill, objected as it would
leave a vacancy in the senate which
must be filled by a special election,
which could not be held without ten
days notice.
Acting under the advice of the govern
or and his special friends Senator Baker
then withdrew his resignation for the
present and it is possible that he will
continue to perform his duties as state
senator until the 4th of March when he
will be sworn in as g United States SEN
ator and that act will vacate his seat IN
the state senate.
Senator Baker is anxious to give up
his seat, but as it will take ten days IN
which to call a special election, his
Republican friends in the senate are
anxious that he shall serve until he goes
to Washington to take up his other du-
ties.
A member of the Popu.ist state central
committee said this morning that it is the
understanding of the Populists that the
election of a member of the senate to
federal office vacates his office as senator.
This is a mistaken idea as Senator
Baker will not be United States senator
until the fourth of March, as he can't be
sworn in until that time
He will no more be a United States
senator until after the 4th of March than
Governor Morrill, was governor of Kan
sas from the time he received his certifi-
cate of election following the November
election until January IA, when he was
sworn in.
Senator Baker was elected today, but
he was elected for a term of six years.
