For a few days past Mary and Tin
had noticed an unusual worried look on
their fathers face.
What worries thee, father?' said
Tim that evening, after supper, as he
sat on a stool at his fathers knee while
the father smoked his pipe.
Sometimes Tim remembered that his
mother, who died when he was a very
little chap, indeed, had said thee
and thou" and had worn a garb of
Quaker gray. and when he felt great
rush of tenderness toward his big
sturdy father he liked to use his
mothers words.

from his fathers hand on his head.

And in fact that was just what the
young boss had just done.
Stepping briskly up behind, where a
small group of men stood listening TO
Pierre, he touched the man on the
shoulder and asked him to go to the
office. AS the man turned to go, the
young boss looked quietly and keen1y
at the knot of men, who. thoroughly
ashamed OF themselves, skunk away in
various directions.
The young boss then walked to the
office, and straight to the safe. and,
taking out a weeks wages, handed it

Maceo's death, as if freedom and prog
ress could be ambuscaded. But he will find
later that they are bullet proof.
Lafayette Journal: 1t appears certain
that General Maceo has fallen a victim to
treachery. His assassination was the
culmina ting atrocity of the Spanish arms
recorded in the annals of civilized ma
tons.
Manchester Union: The story that now
comes confirming the report of the death
of General Antonio Maceo and the way
it was brought about further shows how
little are the principles of modern war

tons OF responsibility on the Spanish
side.

death was compassed place a blot on
military warfare and are a disgrace to
modern civilization.
Buffalo Times: Maceo was not perfect,
bit he was the kind of man to lead an
oppressed people TO victory to be mar
tyr and a national hero. If he was I'M
happy in not living to see his people tri-
umphant. he was fortunate in his anti
thesis to the atrocious Weyler who had
the ferocity to plan the assassination, but
not the courage to avow the responsible
ity for it.
Kansas City Star: The death of Maceo
seems to be considered by the Spaniards
equivalent to a great victory in the field.
No such rejoicings have been INDUCED in

The real effect on the Instruction can
be but slight. There are no hard and
fast plans of campaign in Cuba to be
disarranged. To fight every day is the
only duty or idea and to carry out that
plan there will arise other and many
Maceos.
Nashville Banner: Whether Maceo was
betrayed and murdered, or whether he
fell in battle, his death will work to the
further prejudice of Spain, and will doubt

Finishing a Sentence.

That queer old Scotch lawyer, John
Clerk, was not popular with the bench,
and not infrequently Judge would snub
him. 1t was, however, dangerous pas
time. Once Clerk began a speech in
court by saying: "As 1 was coming over
1.-THE earth-mound this morning, l thocht
within myself - Come, now, Mr.. Clerk, -
interrupted judge. give us name IF your
thochts on the earth-mound." Clerk be-

MAY END THE RATE WAR
A Possible Adjustment Of the
Portland-San Francisco
Differences.
C. ]. Smith Expected to Act as
Mediator Between the Two
Warning Carriers.
lSketched by a "CaN

There is now prospect of a settlement
of the differences between the Southern
Pacific Company and the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company relative to the
passenger and freight traffic between this
City and Portland, Or, and which have
led to most bitter rate warfare for the
past five months.
Incidentally the Oregon Improvement
Company, which owns the stock of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company, is in
volved, as the latter company operates not
only line of steamers to Puget Sound,
but has the State of California running
between this port and Portland. And on
all the vessels on these routes the rates
have been cut in order to protect the bust
ness of the company from the cut rates of
the two active ombatant companies. In
consequ ence the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company has been large loser and will
continue to be so while the situation re-
mains as 1t Is.
Refore the battle was opened between
the railroad and steamship lines the Ore
gon improvement Company was called
into the conference in the hope that its
representative might suggest some means
by which harmony might be maintained,
but, as events proved, without having
been able to do SO.
c. J. Smith of the Oregon Improvement
Company arrived here from the north
yesterday and it was reported from Ia
coma that his visit had for its object the
consideration of the troubles of the war
ring transportation companies and a pos
sible solution of them.
When Mr.. Smith was seen by CALL
representative he denied that his coming
was for the purpose of acting as mediator
in the matter mentioned, but added that
his company would certainly be willing
and glad to act in that capacity in order 10
bring the rate-cutting to an end, as all
parties concerned must certainly be tired
of their strained relations. lie stated that
he had not been approached on the mat
ter, but could not tell what would happen
during his stay. He will leave for San
Luis Obispo this morning, but will be back
in few days.
Among the railroad people it is conf
deatly stated that his visit portends the
early adjustment of the pending rate war
on Portland-San Francisco business.
The Southern Pacific people claim to be
getting more business than they can take
care OF on the Portland special or steamer
trains. On last Saturday they claim to
have sold tickets to 254 people-all that
could be accommodated on one train-and
to nave refused at least one carload of pas
sengers.
At one time Mr.. Stubs agreed to come
to an agreement with the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company on the basis Of
each being allowed so per cent of the pas
senger business. Since the war began,
however, he has come TO the conclusion
that his com pany should have at least two
thirds of this business. 1t is due TO this
lack of agreement upon what proportion
each company shall enjoy that the rate
war continues.

in the stream.
Charley Middleton, a Telegraph Hill
boy, nearly lost his life at Vallejo-street
wharf yesterday. He fell overheard, and
had it not been for James Olden of Oak
land he would surely have been drowned.
Once on the wharf Charley soon recovered
and made tracks for home.
Captain Shaw of the red-stack tug Red
mond did very clever piece of work yes
terday morning. The ship Two Brothers
was to dock at Main-street wharf, but on
account of the heavy fog Wharfnger Dry
den advised the towboat people not to
move her. They answered that the job
would be put off until this morning. The
Redmond had already taken hold of the
ship however, and while the conversation
was going on he had run her into the slip
in spite of the fog and in seven minutes
the vessel was tied up at the wharf and the
tug was on her way back to Vallejo street.
1t was very clever piece of towboating in
the circumstances.
The sealing schooner Emma and Louisa
changed hands yesterday, but who her
purchaser is Ross & Hewlett will not tell.
