CONTRACTOR HowARD's CLAIMS.
Suit Growing Out of building State
Capitol Set for Feb. z.


The suit of William B. Howard against
the State for extras in the construction Of
the Statehouse, amounting TO about $25OOOO
will come up for oral argument before the
Court of Claims of Marion county on Feb
I. The suit was filed last spring. The COM
plainant was one of the bondsmen of the
original contractors of the Statehouse,
Kammacher & Denig. Kammacher dropped
out of the firm and Howard became a part
ner of Denig. Denig also gave up the con-
tract, and Howard had to finish the build
ing. He has since gone before the commit
tees of several; of the legislatures in an
effort to obtain an appropriation reim-
bursting him for what he claims to have
been extras not covered by the contract,
and, failing in this endeavor, he instituted
suit last spring. Hawkins q Smith are his
attorneys, while Attorney General Ketcham
will look out for the States interest in the
case. Should judgment be ultimately rem
dered against the State an appropriation
would still have to be obtained before 1T
could be paid.

A Game of Whist.

-Four ghosts there were who played at whist,
Forsooth, they played it we'll.
And all agreed to not desist
Until the matin bell.
They dealt the spectre cards around
With quivering quail and quake,
For fear that If they made a sound
The sleeping world would wake.
Then something sharp the silence broke
Whats trumps?" voice did cry;
1t was a lady's ghost who spoke
And knocked the game sky-high.

Another case involving the validity of
the law making the terms of county treas
urers begin JAM /, $685. has been appealed
to the Supreme Court, The case comes up
from the. Ohio Circuit Court where the
Judgment rendered on demurrer was in
favor of the then incumbent of the office
as against the treasurer-elect. Martin
Luther Harris was elected treasurer OF
Ohio county for two years, his term to ex-
pire Aug. 10. 1897. At the election of 1896
William Fl. Elliott was elected as his sue
cessor, his term to begin presumably in
August, 1897, but the Legislature of 1897 pro-
viding that the terms of newly elected
treasurers should begin Jan. l. 1898, Mr.
Harris refused to give up the office at the
expiration Of the time for which he was
elected although Mr.. Elliott had duly quail
fed as his successor- The prosecuting at
torney of Ohio county, who is the appel
liant before the Supreme Court on behalf
of the new treasurer, terms the retention
of the office by Harris to be usurpation, and
maintains that the Legislature has no
authority under the Constitution to abridge
or lengthen the terms of any elective Of
ficials, either directly or indirectly.

Pacific Coast Rates Demoralized.


After all the talk that has been made over
the meeting of the Western roads to be
held in Chicago to-day for the purpose of
considering rates and arrangements for
Alaska business the Canadian Pacific has
announced that it will not be represented
at the meeting 1t declared to-day that all
the Decentralization that existed in the Klon-
dixie business is the fault of the large and
unauthorized commissions that are being
paid by the Western roads and to the low
rates made by those lines and their Eastern
connections. There is no necessity for
meeting according to the Canadian Pacific,
and it declared plainly that If the Western
roads would change their tactics there
would be no trouble over the rates to
Alaska. This view of the matter does not
strike the Western roads favorably at all
and they claim that there would be no de-
moralizatlon in passenger rates If 1T was
not for the demand for differentials made
by the Canadian Pacific. The Western
roads will hold their meeting to-day just as
though the Canadian Pacific was repre-
sented. and the outcome viii likely be the
appointment of a committee which will go
to Montreal and confer with General Pas
Senger Agent McNickol, of the Canadian
decentralization to North Pacific coast points
and the Western roads say that there is no
chance of their becoming settled until the
matter of differentials claimed by the
Canadian Pacific on Alaska business has
been adjusted.
The transcontnental passenger officers
report the heaviest business they have
special attraction on the Pacific coast to
draw the crowds. Some of the roads report
engaged until the middle Of March The
Southern routes are naturally getting the
larger snare of the business, but the North
ern roads have the Klondike business. to

THE FAST-FREIGHT LINES
THEY ARE A VALUABLE AID TO NOV
ING BUSINESS PROMPTLY.
Prosperity of the Pennsylvania
Western Lines-GeneraI and Per-
sonnI Railway News.

At the time the Joint Traffic Association
was formed it was loudly heralded that the
fast freight lines were doomed, as they
were a leach on the railroads, but time has
demonstrated the error of such an asser-
ton. Their usefulness is now better under
stood than ever before, and, instead of
there being fewer fast freight lines than
when the association was formed, there
have been eight new lines organized. The
number now reaches nearly fifty. In this
territory there now four more lines do
ing business than three years ago. A fast
freight line is a combination of railroads
working together. Through the agency of
fast freight lines, a manufacturer, shipper,
dealer or anybody else is enabled to send
his goods or wares direct to the point that
he wishes to reach, even If the destination
necessitates the use of several different
roads. When the merchandise is sent by
fast freight line the shipper is assured that
railroad connections and transfers at dis
tant points will be made with dispatch In
many other ways the shippers are benefited
by the fast freight lines.

London. Feb. 1.-THE Daily News
commenting on the disaster to the
United States warship Maine, says:
me disaster reaches the very eX-
tremlty of horror. The public feeling
OF the world, shocked by this dire
calamity, will do we'll to initiate the
restraint imposed on that of the United
states by both the Washington Gov

warrant. though naturally they haunt
the minds of many Americans. They
should be entertained only on absolute

THE attitude of Spain at this agon-
izing moment will either efface the
