st. Louis, No, Feb. 1.-THE Republic
says: One of the most powerful COM
bines ever organized in the United States
has just been entered into between prob
ably a dozen OF the largest manufactur-
ers of ;ncandescent electric lamps. The
combine, which partakes Of the nature
Of trust only in so far as it seeks TO
regulate the price of incandescent lamps
all over the country, had its origin in
this city, and is largely engaged in an
effort to crush out all opposition through
threats of suits for damages for alleged
infringements upon certain patents.
There has been no exchange Of stock
or consolidation of the physical effects
of the companies, but, instead. the COM
bine has been effected through the pool
ing of patents controlled by the several
companies, in order that they may be
able to array themselves against all com
petitors who refuse 10 come in and raise
prices of lamps. In this way the pro-
moters OF the scheme hope TO speedily
crush out all Of the small concerns that
have wagad unceasing warfare against
their wealthy competitors by cutting the
prices.
J. H. Rhotenhamel, president OF the
Columbian Incandescent Lamp compa-
ny, OF this city, is said to have been the
originator of the idea Besides the Co
lumbia company, the combine includes
the Westinghouse Electric company OF

RECORD OF CONGRESS
WESTERN SENATORS INSIST UPON
CHANGES IN WOOL SCHEDULE.
Amendment to the Dingiey
Bill To Prevent Frauds Htth-
erto Perpetrated.

JJpon the first skirmish of the tariH
question in the senate the silver repupll-
cans with the exception of Mr.. Mantle
of Montana, voted with the democrats
and populists. An amendment to the
Indian bill has been adopted opening the
JJncomphagre Indian reservation IN
Utah to mineral entry. The provision as
to the children of a white father and In
dian mother was modified SO as TO give
these children tribal rights on consent OF
a majority of the tribe and the appro-
val of the secretary or the interior.
To Protect the Wool Men.
Western senators will stand together
for important changes in the WOOL scheo-
ule of the Dingley bill. The senators
most prominently identified with the
movement are Messrs. Mantle, Carter
Shoup, Warren and Burrows.
An amendment was agreed upon pro-
yiding that an additional duty of four
cents per pound should be levied upon
skirted woods and woods imported in 1890
and prior to that time. the prlnclpal
change, however, to be proposed is upon
wool and camels' hair of the third CLASS
The Dingley bill proposes an advalorem
duty of 32 and IS per cent respectively
upon woods of this class valued under
and over 10 cents per pound 1t Is pro-
posed now to strike out the Dingley Dill
clauses relating to third class WOODS ana
| to insert instead the following:
| On woods of the third class and camels
| hair of the third class the value OF
which shall be eight cents or less per
| pound in the wool markets of the United
States, the duty shall be five cents per
pound. and on all the woods and hair OF
this class the value of which Shall eX-
! coed eight cents per pound in the gen
eral markets of the United States, there
shall be an additional duty of one-hali
of one cent per pound for each increase
of one cent per pound in the value there
of.
1t is claimed for this amendment, whicf
is the most important of all the amend
ments proposed, that it will largely pre-
vent the frauds which 1t is alleged were
perpetrated on the advalorem duties un
| der the Mckinley law, by reason OF Whicl
i 1t is asserted hundreds of millions o.
| pounds of wool used in the manufacture
of clothing which properly belonged IL
the first-class, were imported at third
! class rates on the representation tina
they were to be used in making carpets
Statements Denounced.
In the house Saturday Mr.. Bailey o
Texas produced newspaper article ac
cusing him of wearing Mr.. Reeds col
lar. and acting under Mr.. Reeds sug
gestion in acquiescing in the republican
policy of inaction. Denouncing the state
ment as a lie, Mr.. Bailey repeated tn
reasons for his course heretofore givel
by him. Mr.. Dearmond of Missouri, II
replying to Mr.. Bailey, declared that tn
verdict of the caucus had been the en-
dorsement of his policy of fighting tn
republicans at all points, after whic
the house adjourned for three days.

COAST CITIES MOSTLY FAVORED.
British Columbia Prospective Lines
Can Get Aid,

Victoria, B. c.. April 15.-In moving the
second reading OF the railway bill the
premier intimdted that the government
would in committee introduce an amend
ment that practlcaiiy gives all that the
deputation from the coast cities asked OF
the government a few days ago. AS in
troduced the bill, besides providing for
bonus to road from Butte Inlet to Cues
nellie, in the northern part of the prov
ince, gave a bonus to two sections, from
the coast to Chilliwack and from the
town of Penticton to Boundary creek, in
the southern part of the province, for
road to Kootenay The amendment will
give a bonus of $4,000 for 230 miles from
Point Roberts to Penticton on condition
that the railway ferry is daily run be-
tween Point Roberts and some point on
Vancouver island.
Semlin then moved an amendment that
the government should build branch
from Penticton to Boundary creek and
that survey should be made by the gov
eminent of the rest of the roads. This
the speaker ruled out of order, as a pri-
vate member has no right to move for an
expenditure of public funds.
Rithet, the chief promoter of the Brit
lsh-Pacific, supported the government
policy strongly and went into elaborate
figures to show that while the province
was giving aid the dominion govern
ment ought also to do so, seeing that
British Columbia paid a greater proper
ton to the dominion per capita than dc
other provinces of the dominion of Can
ada.

for at least four years, and probably as
long as some of us shall live. Mr.. Cleye-
land is by no means small man, phys
ically, mentally or officially, but when
it came to receptions and the like he
was somewhat overshadowed by his
wife. A pretty little woman went to
the last reception given by the lady OF
the White House and she told after
ward that as the crowd came through
the doors into the blue parlor she was
so busy looking at Mrs. Cleveland that
she went straight by the President
without seeing him. Then, seeing her
mistake, she quickly turned and, shak-
ing hands with him, exclaimed: Il beg
your pardon, Mr.. Cleveland, l didn't
see you" Everybody around smiled,
the little lady herself smiled, Mrs.
Cleveland smiled and the President
himself smiled and seemed not in the
least displeased.

IMPERIAL OrnithoIogv.

1t Is natural enough to think thai
what we have never seen nor heard 81
has no existence; but there are occa.
sions when this pleasing personal il
norance runs against hard fact. Thu
story is told by a German paper, d
illustrate the manner in which prince
used to be educated in the good old
times, that Russian grand duke oncl
came to Berlin to pay a visit to til,
Prussian court. 1t was early in thI
present century.
In Russia the imperial two-headel
eagle is seen everywhere-not in thl
woods or in the air, but on decoration
of all sorts-stamped, painted, embroid
cred and sculptured. Every Russian1
even grand duke-is thoroughly "a
miliar with it.
While the aforementioned younl
grand duke was at the Prussian coult
a hunt was given in his honor, and Y.
the assistance of the gamekeepers,
was enabled to shoot a certain larg
bird.
"What kind of bird is thatw tt
grand duke asked of another hunter.
sit is an eagle, your Highness," I'll
hunter answered; whereupon the Rul
sian prince turned on him with n lod
of Indignation and said:

Men and Women Friends.

A man is neither spiteful nor treach-
erous, declare some women who are
popular with the lords of creation, and
they add that one male friend is worth
& dozen feminines. Then, again, other
women, with equal force, remind one of
the proverbial fickleness of men, and
how q new face and n brighter manner
often drive completely away an old and
time-honored friendship. But this,
others will answer, relates only to
love affair, and naturally when the lit
tie god arrives on the scene, all such
cold affairs as friendship must find
lodgings elsewhere. Probably, like all
assertions either way, the truth lies be-
tween the two extremes. Some men
are particularly calculated for friends.
In fact, in that capacity are loyalty and
honor themselves. They never talk of
or discuss their friends; they are only
too willing and too ready to serve a wo-
man they really care for, and are al
ways on hand in trouble and sorrow
with ready sympathy and help. But
friendship of this kind naturally de-
mands much, and no one will waste
such platonic devotion without expect
Ing an equal amount of friendship and
loyalty in return.

A Benefactor of Women.

Numerous young women who have
perfected the study of photography
will be interested to learn that the beu-
efactor of women, the gentleman who
invented the system, Sir Isaac Pitman,
was in 1862 presented by those who ap-
preciated what he had done with
purse of $1,700 and very handsome
marble clock. In 1887, when the jubi-
lee of photography was celebrated, he
received marble bust of himself and
a gold medal from the photographers
of the United States and one from
Great Britain and the colonies. In 1890
shorthand was included in the subjects
to be taught in the board of schools in
England. Statistics just compiled show
that 95 per cent. of the reporters in the
English speaking world use the Pit

Memphis, April 15.-The river continues
to rise at Vicksburg and all points south,
and the situation along the Louisiana
system of levees is acute. Waters are be-
ing hurled outward with tremendous
force and several thousand workmen are
working and watching day and night in
an effort to hold the entertainments intact.
Much suffering still exists in the lower
country, where hundreds of families nave
deserted their cabins and are huddled on
high grounds. On a plantation 10 miles
west of Helena Sylvester Sanders, a col
ored tenant, his wife and hve childreh
were overwhelmed by the current and
all persisted. Near Greenville today two
negroes were drowned in an attempt TO
reach dry land.
Word reached Vicksburg during the
day that many negroes were in Imminent
peril at Davis island, where the break
in the private levees occurred and rellet

the island.
