in the association are present. The conven-
ton will discuss and take action on the
new laws the railroad companies are having
introduced in Congress and the various
States prohibiting competition in the SELL

has now passed prohibiting the same in
New York. Secretary Mckenzie, of Cleve-

he sent TO Governor Black yesterday. The

forth the reasons for such protest and asks
him not to sign the bill, which is now in
his hands.

How Michigan Proposes to Tax Rail-
way Earnings-The ID. & O.'s Almost
Acknowledgement Line.

The Western Passenger Association is
making a strong effort to do away with the
running OF home exc excursions during
the coming summer. Many Of the roads
are anxious that the excursions should be
curtailed in number if not done away with
entirely. Last year the excursions were a
fruitful source of Generalization, and the
results in the way Of colonization were not
large enough to repay the roads for the
amount OF money they lost in the denorali-
cation of rates. This year the Illinois Cen
trail and the Union Pacific have given no
tiee that they will run the excursions, n
an earnest appeal has been made to them
by the other roads in the association to al
ter their plans until it is seen il some
agreement cannot be reached in the matter.
In the meantime, General Passenger Agents
Eustis, Of the Burlington, and Sebastian,
pointed a to prepare d report on
the entire subject of the homeseekers' eX-
c~ursions, and submit it to the next general
meeting of the association.
Specific Taxes ON Earnings.
A bill has passed the lower house of the
Michigan Legislature which raises the
specific taxes on railroad earnings in Michi-
gan from 100000 to about twice that
amount. The rates are as follows: Roads
earning less than $1,000 per mile, 2a per
cent; from $1,000 to $4,000, 4 per cent; from
$4,000 to $4,000, 6 per cent; over $4,000, 10 per
cent. This is a partial victory for Governor
Pingree, but there is still considerable
doubt whether any of his railway reform
measures will pass the Senate. A bill for
local taxation of railroads, which was
agreed to in committee of the whole Tues
day, was yesterday referred to a committee
on motion of Colonel Atkinson, the leading
Flngree representative. If the Senate
passes the SPECIFIC tax bill passed by the
House the local taxation bill viii probably
not be pushed. Asked if he would sign the
Merriam. bill Governor Pingree said: These
companies ought to pay three or four mill
lion, but these are pretty hard times, and
accept the bill and then in two years from
now make the companies pay what they
ought to pay"
Yesterday afternoon, the House, by a
vote of 20 to p, passed the Moore bill, pro-
Yiding for the absolute repeal of the special
charter of the Michigan Central Railroad,
and bringing the company under the gem
eral railway laws OF the State for all pur-
poses. The Atkinson bin, requiring hold
ing of annual meetings of railroad compa-
MES at their principal offices, was also
passed. Colonel Atkinson's bill requiring
uniform passenger fares of 2 eents per mile
upon all railways in the State failed of
passage, however, vote, being 40 to 63.
A bill was faVorab1y reported in the Senate.
which increases the rate of specific taxes
upon earnings of express companies from
the present rate of / per cent. to 3 per cent.
on gross business done.

Fifteenth and M streets every night
this week, with a matinee on Thursday
and Saturday afternoons. There was a
very attractive street parade of the ami
mails yesterday afternoon. Last night
the big tent was very nearly filled by
people who enjoyed the show greatly,
and applauded the acts loudly. Dogs,
ponies and monkeys constitute the en-
tire acting force, which is the
best of it's kind ever exhibit
ed here. It was on the same ground
something over a year ago and won
popular favor then as it is doing now.
There is a military drill by the admir-
ably trained ponies. Then the dogs
romp in and have merry chorus and
solo performance all their own, and
full of interest and amusement. One
of the acts is PRESERVATION of human be-
ings, and is unique and very laughable.
There is a somersaulting dog that
does some wonderful tumbling There
is a hanging act by the dog Bismarck
and two monkeys that it is said requir-
ed eight months of patient training to
bring to it's present success. The grey
hounds of the combination do clever
feats and make some giant leans. 1t
is really the most exciting of all the
acts. The pyramid of dogs and ponies
is a wonderful building with the bodies
of these dumb brutes There are a good
many acts in the entertainment that
are new, so that the programme is even
better than when the show was last
here. There will be another street par

Sad Result of a Days Outing on
the American River Yes
terday.

William Callahan, youngest son OF
the late Daniel Callahan, former land
lord of the Golden Eagle Hotel, was
drowned yesterday in the American
River.
IT was sad enough for him to thus
lose his life, but the occurrence was
rendered all the more heartrending
from the fact that his wife and three
little children were witnesses to ms
fate.
Mr.. Callahan, whose home is a rev
miles east of LOOMS, Placer County,
had taken his wife and children over
to the river for a days outing ana
fishing. He had entered the water and
was wading out to find a suitable spot
from which to cast his line, when in
some way he lost his footing and
slipped into a hole between the bould-
ers.
He struggled bravely against the fate
that threatened him, but without avail,
and went down to his death in full view
of his agonized wife and children who
were on the bank near by but utterly
powerless to help him.
AS soon as the drowning became
known citizens FASTENED from Folsom
and made every effort to recover the
body, but without success, so far as
heard from
Mr.. Callahan was reared in this city,
but some years ago purchased home
near LOOMS, where he had been quite
successful as a fruit-grower and was
enjoying the fruits of his industry sur
rounded by his little family He was
about 80 years Of age.

THE San Jose Herald regrets that
athletic sport should be promoted on
Sunday, believing that it will turn from
California, or tend to do so, the very
population we want most. 1t holds
that this is a matter of business, and
therefore suggests a compromise, name
ly, that Saturday half-holiday be es-
tablished. That is precisely what the
Record Union has been urging all
along. But then, who is to bell the
cat? How is this desirable thing to be
brought about? Are the sharp edges of
human selfshness sufficiently worn
down to make the half holiday prob
able in California in this century? We
fear not. Nevertheless, as it must re-
suit from growth of public sentiment,
it is a good thing to keep hammering
away at it.
THE arguments of the Herald and
the 'Record-Union are directly in line
with the statements advanced by this
paper in favor of the half holiday. Peo-
pie will have recreation, and that they
should seek the open air in pleasant
weather is in perfect harmony with
nature itself To desire to be amused
and entertained is ruling phase in
human nature. Men, women and
young people who are confined in store,
factory or office from morning till
night, and oftentimes part of the ev-
ening, for six days in the week, are
not going to coop themselves up in
dwelling houses or church all day Sun
day, if they can help it. Perhaps they
are in the wrong-but that is a theo-
L. ,1Io how
1T is sufficient to say that a Sat
urday half holiday during the hot sum-
mer months will tend toward better
observance of the Sabbath day, which
is or should be, a day of rest En-
ployers will get as good or better SER
vice from their employees, and if the
holiday movement is made general, will
suffer no business loss.
The Record Union' is too severe in
its Characterization of the employing
classes Human selfishness is not
more prevalent in California than it is
elsewhere, and there is every reason
to believe, that if the Saturday half
holiday idea is properly introduced to
those most concerned, it will be car
ried out as it should be carried OUT
1t may be, as the Express says,
that human selfishness is not more
prevalent in California than elsewhere,
but that paper viii hardly care to say
that California is without its share of
that undesirable feature of human ma
ture. And there is another fact to be
considered in California, and that is
that the State has such cosmopolitan
population. Perhaps no State in the
Union can compare with it, where peo-
pie have gathered from all parts of the
world, and brought with them some
thing of the customs of the fatherland,
and it must be confessed that when it
comes to Sabbath observance, the aver
age is not what would be satisfactory
to Puritan New England.
1t might be that the half-holiday
would effect some change, if it could be
inaugurated, but we doubt it. But in
ITSELF the holiday would be boon to
thousands.
