Leading Railroads to Combine
on a Presidential Car.

Among the leading railroad men of
Topeka the belief grows that a rate
war is imminent, owing to the with
drawal from the associations of the
railroads upon the heels of the court
decision.
Passenger men are unable to figure
out how a rate war can be avoided. 1t
is the general impression that both
freight and passenger rates will be cut
in another week; that in ten days the
war will be carried into the camp of
every road in the country and that 1t
will last until the reaction which is
expected to follow a month after the
war begins. Each road is virtually go
ing on it's own responsibility, and 1t
cannot be long, it is claimed, before one
of them breaks over the traces, which
will precipitate a general fall among

done before in the substantial charac-
ter of its construction and in the COM
pleteneSS and convenience of its furn-
ishings and decorations, for the use of
the president of the United States, from
material and appliances contributed
for the purpose by the car building and
affiliated industries.
The projected car will be a complete
exposition of the art of car building,
demonstrating to the world the sur
the United States, and it is to be pre-
scented to the nation as a tribute from
the car building fraternity. for the per-
sOnal and official use of the successive
presidents of the United States.
The designs and Specifications for the
car are being prepared under the sup

end that the proposed car shall repre-
sent the skill, ingenuity and experience
of the American car builder Much of
the necessary material required for it's
construction has been rendered by

wAsPs IN THE AIR BRAKES.
It May Be Necessary to Rem odel the
Westinghouse Apparatus.

1t would be a remarkable thing if a
little insect should be the means of
compelling the Westinghouse Air-bralxe
company to remodel the exhauSt port of
their pressure retaining valve, says the
Pittsburg Post, but it appears that the
necessity for such change confrontS
them at present, or rather corEfronts the
railroad companies who use the brakes
The insect that causes all the trouble is
the common mud wasp-a transient
inha bitant of the west and northwest
which, like the genus tramp, appears to
have penchant for travelling
The wasp builds his mud home on
the exhaust port of the valve named.
and closes the vent, causing no end of
trouble and expense. Superintendent
Rhodes of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad, was the first TO de-
scribe the new enemy of the air-brake,
and after an exhaustive treatise on the
subject recommends the alienation of
the shape of the valve and form of the
vent as the only means of getting rid of
the difficulty.

GOV. SMITH 70 CALIFORNIA.
Governor of the Leavenworth Sol
diers' Home to be Transferred.

LeaVenworth, March eft was
learned from a member of the board at
Washington that while no final action
was taken by the board in the Leaven-
worth home investigation matter, a res
olutiOn is now pending transferring
Gov Smith TO the Pacific coast branch
and asking for the immediate resigna-
ton of Maj. Shockley, the treasurer of
the home.
The most remarkable proceeding be-
fore the board during an informal meet
ing" said this member, was the ap-
pearance OF two members OF the con-
greSsiOnal committee that investigated
the home, asserting that their report
had been misunderstood; that several
statements were made that should not
have been made in the light of the evil
dence and that they are satisfied that
an injustice was done the governor. A
third members talked privately with
three members of the board and regret
ted that the report was ever sent to
congress in the form it was presented
and hoped the governor would be re-
tanned in his position or transferred to
some place equally as good. The board
itself did not take any notice of the re-
port. While the board adjourned for a
month, it is quite likely that no meeting
will again be held until next June. At
the time of its adjournment the resolu-
ton referred to was pending"
1t is learned from other sources that
Gov. Smith was given his choice of go
ing to- California or taking up the con-
struction of the new home to be erected
in Illinois, and for which an appropria-
ton was made by the last congress.
The governor preferred not to under
take the construction of the new home.
On account of the delicate health of his
family he desired the California station.
He has desired to go to California for
several years, but the board declined
to have him leave the Leavenworth
home
The governor of the California home
is Maj. ]. G. Roland, who will be trans
ferred to the Leavenworth home. He
is a native of Quincy, Ill, and prefers
being nearer to his old home, while with
Gov. Smith the location, other than CHI
rnatic conditions. makes no difference.

BATTLE WITH a WILD CAT.
Beast Springs Into the Cab of Nov

Ogden, Utah. March 29.-Last night
Engineer Frelich of the Southern Pa
cific had an experience which he will
have cause to remember for many a
day When the west bound passenger
train was nearing Blue Creek station,
at the northern point of Great Salt
Lake, a vicious wild cat sprang out of
the darkness into the cab. and after
moments hesitation attacked the fire
man. at whose side it landed.
The engineer came to the aid of his
fireman and attempted to beat the ami
NAL off with a shovel. The brute then
sprang upon him, landing on his chest.
and buryfng its claws in his face and
shoulders. The beast seemed possessed
ed with maniac fury, and when it final
~ sprang down and out of the cab
Frelich's face resembled a map of the
Grecian frontier. The flesh on his
hands and face was literally torn to
shreds. and when his train stopped at
Terrace he was more dead than alive.

not pushed theoretically and the scheme
was retained a secret by its promoters
until after the legislative effort failed
Many people have expressed their appro-
baton on the subject and said that they
would exert every power 10 encourage
such a measure The report was circu-
lated that Governor Sadler would call an
extra session OF the Legislature TO consider
the measure and that he had given his
promise to Dan Stuart to do
The governor said that the affair had
never been suggested to him.
