An instructive light is thrown upon much
Of the legislation against railroads by tho candid
remark OF a member OF the Missouri Senate. Sem

fellow.sorvant law. but voted against a bill max
ing general tho provisions Of thatlaw why did
you favor fellow-servant legislation for the rail
roads, and oppose It when II might afcct you T. no
was asked. Simply because the railroads can
afford TO pay and I can't" was the reply. But
the railroads will be lucky II they have any
thing to pay with II some OF the Legislatures
keep on interfering with and fning them for
being corporations.

Senator MARTIN, who took a command.
ing place among legislative political econ
omists a few days ago by proposing an in
vestigation Of the department stores, has
added to his reputation by introducing a
bill which the Albany dispatches describe
as making 1t unlawful for any person or
persons who carry on business in this State
to advertise for sale or to sell at retail any
article Of merchandise, that is not damaged
or otherwise deprecated in value, at less
han its cost price, or at a price so low as to
injure any other retail merchant offering
for sale or selling similar articles Of mer-
chandise."
One would suppose that any person who
habitually sells articles below cost would
soon ruin himself, and so cease to injure
his competitors. Az for occasional settings
below cost, are they to be more regretted
than frequent settings above COST With
the utmost veneration for Senator MARTIN
and the school Of thought which he repre-
sents, we must say to him that, great as
this bill Of his is, he might have made it
greater. The object of thinkers OF his
school seems to be to prevent people from
getting rich. Now they are not likely to
get rich by selling goods below cost. Nor
can they get rich by selling them at cost.
Therefore, Senator MARTIN should prepare
"a bin f%orbidding the sale Of goods at a
price above cost and the cost and price
should he fixed by the State, by means Of
suitable commissions and inspectors.
Senator MARTIN has a luminous idea, but
he ought to trim n little. Fix the price Of
everything at cost and then fix the cost,
and Senator MARTIN will have no new tri-
umphs. All will be done.

THE. NAUGHTY D0NS
Who Quarreled at Madrid, Saturday,
Are Endeavoring to Arrange the
Trouble in a Satisfactory Manner,

LONDON. May 23.-The Standard cor
respondent at Madrid says: In the con-
ference held on Saturday between the
President of the Senate, the premier and
Senor Sagasta. with reference TO the Tet-
aun-Comas incident, the President said he
would not be justified in interfering as
the affair had not occurred in the Senate
Chamber. but in the lobby The premier
declared that the opposition ought TO be
satisfied II the Duke of Tetuan announced
in the Senate Chamber that he never in
tended TO slight or give offense 10 the
Liberal minority. lie added that the gov
ernmeut could not dispense with the Duke
of Teuan's services as Minister Of For
eign Affairs. because he alone was ac-
ouainted with and able to conduct impor-
tant and delicate pending negotiations
with foreign governments (meanlnS Amer
ica).
"Senor Sagasta promised TO give his fol-
lowers conciliatory advice. but said he
must he guided by their decision. Ac-
cordinClv he summoned meeting OF the
liberals. who were in no conciiiatory
tempor. However. after a prolonged dis
cussion. they gave a vote OF conildence'o
senor Sagasta. with instructions to set
tie the conflict with the understanding
that they would not enter the Cortes ur-
I'll the government had given them such
satisfactory as Senor Sagasta deemed
proper. The crisis has withdrawn popular
attention from the attitude Of the United
States Senate. which a majority OF the
newspapers and Of the ministers affect 70
consider without importance, as bearing
unon the immediate relations Of the two
countries"

deport these dangerous allies to their
various countries at the earliest pos

Most Of the volunteers making up
the Berthet column are anarchists and
the government has done wisely in re-
fusing to allow them to come here, al
though they insisted on the privilege.
The government sent them from Arta
to Zaverda and there disarmed them
with orders to leave for Italy in Greek
vessels. Thereupon they began to in
dulge in al sorts of excesses and got
into conflict with the inhabitants, with
the result that one Italian was killed
and six were seriously wounded. Finally
after a great deal of trouble, they were
sent to Brindisi under the escort of two

FIVE DROWNED,
A Terrible Accident in the South
Branch of the Chicago, Caused by
Panic Among Boys on an mpro
vised Raft.

Chicago, May 23.-Five small boys
were drowned in that portion Of the
South Branch Of the Chicago river
known as Mud Lake, while trying 10
cross the stream on an improvlsed
raft. There were six on board, but the
lad who was the cause of the disaster,
from his having started panic among
his companions, saved himself by
Jumping into the water before the craft
had drifted into the deeper water. The
dead were:
FRANK QUINN, ten years old.
CHARLES COATES, eleven years
old.
JAMES COATES, eight years old,
brother of Charles Coates.
CHARLES SVIC, nine years old.
ALBERT SVIC, twin brother OF Chas.
Syic.
John Honis was the boy who es-
capped.
The boys were padding about in the
water upon a piece of fence which they
had pressed into service as a raft.
Finally they worked it near the deep
water and Honis became alarmed. He
gave a Shrek and jumped from the
raft into the water, sufficiently shallow
to enable him to reach the shore. The
other boys were seied with a panic
and in trying to jump into the shallow
water spra1g in the wrong direction,
and fell into deep water. Two of the
bows were able to swim, but did not
have strength enough TO reach shallow
water.
The accident occurred within one
hundred feet of the Ashland avenue
bridge. but the distance was too great,
and bv the time he was able to reach
the shore all the boys had been
drowned.

At the trial the question was argued
as to whether one man could have done

time allotted him. Especially was it

posed of the body in the manner de-
scribed in the short time the wOman's

Italians while travelling from Arta to

bayonets. by the time they reached
Zayerdda they were quarreling fiercely
among themselves. The villagers
thoroughly alarmed. gathered in read
mess TO fight the Italians, and the sit
nation became serious. A Greek tried
to pacify Garibaldian, who was about
to dash his brains out with a stone
whereupon an Italian fired and wound
ed the Garibaldian.
Instantly the cry was raised: "A
Greek has been killed. and the vii
layers began to fire their rifles. The
melee became general, but the Italians
displaved a flag of truce and the en-
barkation was effected, though with
great difficulty.
several Italian officers told me they
did not expect to reach land alive as
their rufianly soldiers would surely
kill them.
