THE POOLING BILL.
No Action by the Senate Interstate
Commerce Commission

No Action by the Senate Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Washington, June 10-The senate
committee on interstate commerce held
a brief meeting to-day and adjourned
for a week without transacting any
business beyond a cursory discussion of
the advisability of reporting the pool
ing bill. To this proposition objection
was made and 1t was not pressed. a
senator who is opposed to any action on
the bill as long as the house commit
tees were not appointed, said it was
useless for the senate ''to work itself
to DEATH"
The indication now are that if au-
thority is not given at the next meet
ing to report the bill action will be
postponed until the beginning Of the
regular session or until the tariff bill
is disposed of.

male of the pair of white whales that
have attracted so much attention at the
ecquarium. died at $50 o'clock this

ten men from the pool and sent on a
van to Prof. Wallace, the taxidermist

been sulking for several days, and her
death was not unexpected. Her mate
is acting now in the same way and

The Eight DEPARTMENTS.

An interesting indication of the quiet that
now prevails in our army, as contrasted with
the occasional calls for campaigning that
used to come a few years ago, is found In
the current reports of the eight department
commanders. There Is neither wal nor
rumor Of war in any of them.
1t Is true that Gen. WADE, In the Depart
ment of Dakota, recounts the movements
Of Major NoRvELL's command, consisting
Of four troops of cavalry and two compa-
mics Of infantry, but it was only q precau-
tionary movement to guard the Tongue
River Agency, lest the Indians should at
tack 1t through excitement over the arrest
Of one Of them for murder. That was GER
tainly not q case of Indian hostilities, nor
did general hostilities arise out of The
affair of the Utes and the game wardens,
which occurred after the department re.
ports were made up.
Gen. MERRITT. who commands the De-
partment of the East, naturally has much
to say Of coast defence, and his suggestions
are very timely. But most of the reports
this year deal largely with administrative
details. Thus there is a general call for
gymnasium facilities. and Gen. BROOKE
asks also for riding halls at the larger cav.
airy posts Of his Department Of the Mis-
souri,. Gen. OTIs, In tho Department of
Colorado, advises the placing of an Ell.
cient garrison at some railroad station in
New Mexico. which can communicate
quickly with all important points.
In the Department of the Platte Gen.
CoPPINGER speaks we'll of the magazine
rifle, but reports a prevailing opinion in
favor OF a wind gauge for 1t. He also has q
good word for the new pay system, whereas
many officers would like o return to the
old one. Gen. SKATER, in the Department
of California, would replace the infantry
garrison at San Diego by a battery OF heavy
artillery, as it's new defences are nearing
completion. Gen. GRAHAM, in the Depart
ment of Texas, wants the Government to
buy for $4,000 an S,00O.acre tract four.
teen miles from San Antonio as a training
ground for the troops at Fort Sam Hous.
ton. Gen. MERRIAM has an interesting de.
partment just now, that of the Colum,
bia, because it includes Alaska, where mil,
itary government, he says, is a necessity
until Congress provides a substitute.

sentiment than such an expression. The
Evening Post treated 1t as a humiliating
confession and proceeded to exclude Mr..
Soorr from Mugwump society forever. We
congratulate him. A man who gets away
from the dictation of that gang is released
from a bondage intolerable by genuine and
not artificial una nature. He breathes
again the air of independence. He is

Not the least amusing feature of the foot
ball season, this year as in previous years, 10
afforded by the wonderful double play Of the
Neto Fork Evening Post. We quote from the
editorial columns of that noted authority ON
morals and manners:
"The great lesson our young men have 10 be taught
10 that the manly virtues lie in the soul and not in
the body, and that States are saved and built up by
character, and not by bruises and dislocations."
And again:
"The original game has deEenerated into ita pres-
emit shape under the pressure of that tendency to
brutality which always shows itself In personal en-.
counters' between young men. and which neither
culture nor religion has ever been ableto restrain
And yet again:
"The healthy reaction in Georgia and Wisconsin
against q so-called sport which 10 attended with
such brutality and danger a. modern football canno,
fail to spread all over the country"
And once more:
"The public laughs when It reads in the editorial
columns OF q journal q tribute to football q q help to
self.command. and then turns to a news page OF the
Same Issue to read how three men in one game, at
Hartford. were disqualified by the referee for bru.
tally. 1t laughs again when 1t reads editorial praise
Of the physical dement's secured by playing the game.
and then turns to the news columns which report
how three members OF one eleven are on the hos.
pital list"
Scarcely a day passes without an editorial
demand by the Evening Post for the suppress
sion Of the game. or without its describing the
young gentlemen in our universit es who par
ticipate in the "so-called sport" as brutes and
slugRers and gladiators as cruel and rs Vicious as
any who have figured in the most inhuman and
degrading exhibitions Of tho Roman arena or
the modern prize ring. 1t Is interesting to OBJ
servo that the same newspaper is endeavoring,
to the best Of its somewhat inadequate ability,
to figure In Its news columns as a leading organ
Of "the so-called sport" and to extend its circula-
ton at the principal centres Of brutality and
degradation by means of such business an
nouncements as this, for instance. which we find
in that well-conductod college periodical. our es.
teemed contemporary. the Daily Princetonian:

Japan and the Cnnnl.

Japanese diplomats are usually cautious
about revealing what may by any possible
lty be regarded IS State secrets, and are also
| sticklers for the rule that does not allow
unofficial statements Of their diplomatic
work to precede official announcements of
It. Nevertheless, Mr.. ToRu HosH1 has not
hesitated to speak in regard to the rumors
Of concessions to Japan regarding the Mica.
ragua Canal. Possibly he considers that the
affair il not Of the formal nature that calls
for reticence on his part.
At all events, an interview with him, de-
scribed in Japanese newspapers, indicates
that such canal concessions were proposed
to him while he was serving as Minister at
Washington, some months ago, and that
he reported the matter to the Toxic Gov.
eminent. The latter, however, considered
that the proposals interfered with u
rights and policy, and 30 would have moth.
ing to do with them.
What is most obvious in the affair 10 the
folly of making o~vertures, the rejection of
which could almost have been assumed be-
forehand, while their disclosure would
naturally create irritation in the United
States. They came, 1t appears, from the
new Greater Republic Of Central America I;
and the suggestion has been made that they
arose out Of the pique felt at the cautious
way In which the representative of the
Greater Republic was received by our Gov
eminent. Yet the letter of that representa-.
tive, Mr.. RODRIGUEZ, on the subject of the
Nicaragua Canal bill, was duly laid before
Congress, and was discussed there.
Perhaps a better explanation of the al.
legged overtures may be that the Greater
Republic took the ground that the old con.
tract Of April "a, 1887, had expired, and
that the Maritime Company had no longer
any rights there. 1t held that our Govern.
g could not acquire the canal without
new and direct negotiations with Nicara-
qua. Possibly, therefore, the sounding Of
Japan on her relations to the canal was
somewhat in the nature of q "bluff," to
serve as practical evidence that the Greater
and the field as open and free.
Perhaps it may be denied at Nicaragua
that there were proposals Of q serious and
compromising character. But whatever
may have been done by the Greater Repub.
lie to assert its existence and magnify its
authority in this matter, 1t would be of
minor consequence to our country. We
should not allow any rights Of Americans
to be set aside, or any property to be
confscated; we should not allow our plans
in this great enterprise to be thwarted
We should no more yield to an Asiatic
than to a European power the control of
this great waterway. Indeed, Japan might
expect even European opposition, to say
nothing of our own, against any designs
of hers upon the American isthmus canal,
just as she might expect it, should she seek
to al mex Hawaii.
Perhaps the question of what was really
suggested to Japan may come up before
Congress at the next session, but the mat
ter cannot be considered as of primary
consequence.
