A Steamship Trust.

Travel in Europe Is expected to fall
off this summer on account of the gen.
eral advance in frst-class cabin fares
from $s5 to 800, which is now the
minimum rate. No reduction will be
made 20 tourist agents for parties less
than twenty-five. Some of the steam
ship lines expect a reduction in the
number of first-class passengers of 20
OF, 80 per cent, but the crack ships
were overcrowded last year. The spe-
cial attractions on the other side this
season are the queens jubilee, the
Baireuth music festival, the Stock

Carson, New, Feb. 2S--'Nothing doing
was the greeting today. a large number Of
visitors braved the muddy roads to Cooks
Ranch and shaw's Springs and gaped at
the big fellows as they loafed about their
quarters. Neither Corbett nor Fitzsimmons
indulged in much heavy work, and as d
result Green and Hawkins monopolzed at
tention.
The little fellows began their heavy work
this morning. Green tips the scale at 147,
and expects to weigh in at about 143. He
looks 4 tTifle beefy, but has good color

Manager Brady wrote number of his

a number of commissions TO be placed on

passage OF the amendment is foreordained.
That is good Presbyterian doctrine"
Senator Gallinger Tetorted that the leso-
luton prohibiting the Potomac Company
from proceeding would have passed by an
almost unanimous vote if Hill had not
talked it to death.
''But yoa did not find time to debate
it, replied Hill; with three-fourths of
the Senate in your pocket you felt safe,

There was a considerable parrying for
position between Hin and Gallinger The
latter was very severe on Hill for fill
clustering the Cockrell resolution into its
grave, and II i'll declared it TO be so thin,
transparent, and shaGowy that simple in
spection showed its undedrability. He
claimed there never was time when it

early retirement from the senate followed,
and then Senator GallinGer declared that
he doubted if the competition would last
long, because thc Potomac Company had
already proposed TO dspbse OF its hold
ings TO the United States Company
Senator Hawley also said it was folly
to suppose competition would continue.
1t would be as foolish for the companies
to keep ii up, he said, as for the Senate
to begin it.
Senator Hill--oh, this is the old argu-
ment. 1t S always used to justify mo-
nopolies. Whatever may happen in the
future the people and the city have
| already been benefited. l hope and be
lieve the benefits will continue.
Senator Vest expressed curiosity as
to how the Mcmillan agreement, if such
it could be called, had been reached
1T has not been reached III committee"
he said, and the reprehensible prdctice
| of polling a committee Oh the floor should
not continue.
Senator Mcmillan said he had prepared
| the amendment in the nope of harmonic
ing differences, and was confident it would
accomplish the purpose.
The amendment was then adopted.
Later In the evening the amen Clrnent an
propriating $325, coo for the purchase of
the old Corcoran Art Gallery building for
| the use of the Court OF Claims led to n
| lively discussion, but was finally adopted.
| An effort was also made to secure the
| adoption OF an amendment permitting sew
! eral bureaus OF the Postoffice Department
to remain in the general postoffice build
| ing, instead OF being removed This was
! because of the fact that the floor space
assigned the department in the new build
! ing was 10000 square feet less than that
| now occupied. The amendment was de-
| feated.

is already known In spite Of their shrewd
devices to conceal 1t, and they will not

plainly that they have no desire to an
