The Story of Bohemia" has been
written by G. Edmond Maurice, an aU-
thor whose previous work has fitted
him to take an unusually intelligent
and catholic view of the subject in
hand. There are many reasons why
THE Story of Bohemia should be- ed
ucationally, one Of the most important
IL the series. An absolute miscOncep-
ton of the Bohemian people, an ignOr-
ance really criminal, exists in the mind
OF the average child and in a grown
ur and aggravated form is too often
shared by the average parent Boz
hennan is usually understood to- mean
gypsy. an ineXcusable error, but one
dating from the fifteenth century, and
more than with any other people the
very lowest class is. taken az repre-
sentatiVes of the nation. Always small
and struggling and now Of no political
identity, the Bohemian nation is given
small space in general histories and
very little opportunity comes to the stu
dent to correct misconceptions. There

place in the worlds history, that
crowns before the world it's saints and

mo better place to go 'a-birding'
than Southern California;; no better
way than on a bronco" is the natural
verdict returned after reading the
little volume, by Florence A. Merriam.
"A-Birding on a Bronco" is the sim
pie account of a summer spent in the
intimacy of feathered folk. Miss Mer-
riam seems to have been an almost
welcome guest at birds nests, and
sometimes the gossip of her observa-
lions reads really like a betrayal of
confidence. Her sympathy, however,
is so well known that she is readily
acquitted of all guile, and we attribute
her revelations to the desire to break
down the barriers of ignorance that
divide her bird friends from the human.
The book is charmingly illustrated
with pen and ink drawings of birds and
half-tones of California scenery.

TARIFF LEGISLATION.

gress Much Improved.

Prospects for This I'm TIE Next Con.
gress Much Improved.
The prospects Of speedy tariff legislation
a. the extra session of the Fifty fifth Con-
gress are greatly improved by the attitude
which the democrats are Disposed to as
sumo. If the republicans themselves ex-
perience no serious difficulty in agreeing
on bill which both houses ;will accept,
there. appears to be but little reason to
apprehend trouble from the opposition.
There has been a difference Of opinion
among the allied anti-republican forces as
to the policy to be adopted. Quite num-
ber of them have held pretty strongly to
the opinion that they should oppose the
bill In the Senate and compel the republi-
cans t. depend upon their own votes to
pass 1t. They have gradually weakened in
this, however, and 1t seems now that the
contrary opinion will prevail There has
been no formal conference on the subject,
but the matter has been talked over very
generally ever since this session began un-
I'll the consensus of opinion ts practically
ascertained.
1t is understood that some of the demo-
with the assent of those who will not
themselves go so far, are prepared to give
assistance If necessary to the passage of
the bill through the Senate in the form the
republicans want, and that none will do
anything calculated to seriously delay ac-
ton. This policy. II adhered to. will leave
1t entirely with the republicans to perfect
the legislation and secure an adjournment
as speedily as they can.

DUPONTs PETITION,
Action by the Senate. Committee Post

pOned Until Friday.
The Senate committee on privileges and
elections again today had under consid-
Grafton the petition of Col H. A. Dupont
for the reopening of his claim to seat as
senator from Delaware. Owing to the fact
that some of the members of the commit
tee were absent although there was a
quorum present, formal action was post-
poned until next Friday. All the members
present expressed the opinion that the Pc
tltlon was equivalent to a request for a
new trial, which they were of opinion could
not be granted in the absence of new tes-
timony. The committee took the view that
the one point made in Mr.. DuPonts peti-
ton, viz, that Senator Jones of Neya ada
had not been properly paired, was negativ ed
by the statement of the Nevada senator
himself that the announcement had been
correctly made. 1t Is understood that no
formal action will be taken at the Fri
day meeting, and there is no doubt, in view
OF the expressions at today's meeting, that
1t Will be opposed to Col. Dupont.
Mr.. Addicks' petition did not receive any
attention at today's meeting.

PACIFIC RAILROADS.

chairman Powers Thinks HIS COM
mtttee VIII Agree on q Bill.
Chairman Powers of the Pacific railroads
committee of the House said TO a Star re-
porter that he thought his committee would
agree upon some bill to report to the House.
He thought this agreement might be reach
ed by tomorrow, when the committee will
hold meeting. The Harrison and the
Hubbard bills are the ones before the COM
mittee. Mr.. Powers and majority of the
members of the committee are opposed to
the plan of Representative Hubbard, which
provides for a commission Of thirteen peo-
pie, each to receive 10000 as cempensa-
tion for services. This commission is to
have full power to settle the Indebtedness
of all the government bond-aided railways.
The commission is specifically instructed to
ascertain whether the lease Of the Central
Pacific to the Southern Pacific Is moEop-
oily burdensome to the people OF the Pacific
coast If the commission determines that
this is the case 1t is instructed to break the
lease and prevent its re-estabiishment.
Chairman Powers this morning said that
he was aware that a commission would
have no power to deal with the settlement
of the case of the Union Pacific, on which
the government has already ordered fore
closure, but 1t would apply to other govern
ment-aided roads. He Is determined to
push whatever bill is reported,by the COM
mittee. He does not know whether action
can be had in the House. but he thinks he
can bring this about.
Representative Hubbard is opposed to a
cabinet commission and unless Ne can get
through bill for what he terms q nonp
partisan commission he will fight any new
bill reported by the Committee He does
not believe that bill of any Kind can be
gotten through the House at this session,
bill.
funding bill there is Il sentiment that a
commission will be merely an instrument
for further delaying a settlement with the
government by all the roads. Western
members are giving -his opinion freely.
This idea will greet the new bill, II it is re-
ported, and will probably crush 1t the same
as the funding bill was crushed
