Harold Frederic's Fad. =

New 1OIk EN6ulHS gun.
In Gloria Mundi," the late Harold Fred
cries last novel, which appeared soon after
his death, there occurs the following curious
photographed confession as to the
writer's amateur cultivation of flowers: I

worst of it is that / realize perfectly the

it, There is something quite mysterious
about plants-especially if you have grown
them yourself. You can go and stand

to another. with your mind entirely closed
to thoughts of any description. | used to

reads like a bit of one of Huysmans novels
And yet Frederic was not among the deca-
dents.

A REPRESENTATIVE GATHERING
Railroad Officials Meet to Discuss
the Rate War.

New York, March 15.-There has rarely
been such a representative gathering of
railroad men as the one which assembled
at the offices of the Trunk Line Associa-
ton today. The passenger departments
Of all of the great systems of the country
were represented, sixty railroad officials
being present. 1t was seen when the
meeting convened that il was too large
to make any discussion of the cause of
its assembly-the disturbance of passen-
ger rates in the Northwest-and the sub
ject was referred to a committee of ten,
of which d. B. Martin, of the Baltimore
and Ohio, was made chairman.
The committee was directed to make a
report at 3 o'clock, but when the fun
meeting reassembled al that hour it asked
for further time, and an adjournment was
taken until o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
The feeling among those who attended
the conference was that the committee
would make a report tomorrow that
would be practically a statement of ques-
lions which the rival lines would agree
TO submit TO arbitration. and that there
would be the vital points in dispute. A
passenger agent Of one of the important
lines said that there could be no other re-
port from the committee for the reason
that an agreement without arbitration
would be practically impossible, while a
settlement of some sort is imperative.
The Canadian Pacific, he said, contends
that Il has the right TO use differentials
for Alaskan business, which had been al
lowed 10 II without question on passenger
business 10 Pacific Coast points. These
dinerential rates were originally put in
the trunk line rate sheets at the request
of the Western lines.

THREE new NI85BIPS
House Committee on Naval At
fairs Recommendations.
"IS NOT A WAR MEASURE, ="
Building Of Five New Drydocks OF
First-cIass Size Also Sanctioned
Provision Ior the Purchase of
Armor Expected 10 Cause Con-
siderable Contention.

II was announced late yesterday that
the House Committee on Naval Affairs
had completed its work on the appropria-
ton bin and that it will be reported to-
day to the House. The three important
features OF the bill are the provisions
made for the construction Of war vessels,
dry docks, and the price TO be paid for
steel armor. All other measures are Of
minor Importance, the greater portion
being of purely routine character.
As predicted in The Times several days
ago, the committee viii recommend the
construction of three battleships of the
first class, which viii be in all important
respects like the Iowa and Oregon. These
great war vessels win cost in the
neighboIhood of So 10000 each making an
aggregate sum of about $15,09 coo. The
bin provides that but s., 000OO0 of this
amount shall be expended on each vessel
during the present year, or total Of
$60o0.c9O.
Five dry docks of first-class size will
be built. They viii be situated at Mare
Island, League Island, Boston, Ports
mouth, n. II, and Algiers, La. These
docks will be sufficiently large TO meet all
the requirements of the Navy Depart
nient. and will be equipped with the most
perfect machinery known TO the world.
The sunken dry dock at New York will
also be repaired as rapidly as possible
and other dry docks viii be placed in =
proper condition.
The bill viii not provide for torpedo
boats or any other important war vessels,
and il is in no sense Of the word war
measure. The reason for this is that the
great length of time required 10 build
vessels would render them of no service
in a war with Spain, and that if more
small vessels are needed the President
has money enough TO buy all the country
viii need. In a time Of peace the tor
pedo fotilla is sufficiently large, the COM
mittee asserts.
The third important item in the naval
bin is the provision for armor. and the
committee will recommend that the Gov
eminent purchase the quantity needed
at a price not to exceed 800 a ton. Ii is
expected that this item viii cause more
debate than all of the rest of the bill.
The members who have consistently re-
fused TO pay $500 ton for armor will. ii
is believed. amend the bill decreasing tha
amount TO be paid, and those who advo-
cate the plan of having the Government
own its own armor-making plant will also
contest the item. These members viii
probably offer an amendment to this
effect. but Chairman Boutelle, of the
committee, will make point of order
that ii is new legislation, and the amend
ment win be killed. There is littl,
doubt but that the naval appropriation
viii stand as recommended.

REVISING oUEENsBURY RULES.
The Project Commended by the
Sporting Fraternity.

Sporting Fraternity.
New York, March 15.-Since AL Smith
consented to take a hand in the revision
of the Marquis of Queensbury rules, he
has been the recipient of letters from far
and near Matchmakers of clubs and
sporting men have written, urging him
not to abandon the project. Mature study
of the question has convinced Smith that
it would require more than twelve COM
petent men to make the new code stand
ard. He claims that there should be no
limit to the judges, and that they should
be selected from the large cities through
out the country.
Smith said today:
I'm order to have the support of cities
outside of those in the East it will be
necessary to select men from the West.
South and Northwest to help make the
new code | think the selection of two
capable men to act as arbiters after the
rules have been formulated would be a
good idea. But there should be no haste
in the matter. There should be a clause
inserted which will do away with foul
fighting. Tom Sharkey has the reputa-
ton of fighting unfairly. Well, how can
he be cured of this habit? The referees
er the first foul is committed. Just let
the referee give one warning. If a man
ignores this call the fight off and give the
decision to the other man, whether il is
satisfactory to the audience or not.
In the new rules something will be said
about weighing in. No boxer will be per-
mitted to weigh in at the ringside. The
latest hour will be fixed at o'clock. and
the earliest o'clock. Weighing in at the
ringside is generally prolific of bad re-
suits, and sometimes serious accidents.
In order to make the weight a boxer has
had to starve himself. This tended 10
undermine and weaken his system, and
also endanger his life. On the other hand
if he gets on the scales at o'clock he
will have ample time to eat a meal and
fortify himself before entering the ring.
The new rules will devote some atten-
ton to having the referee remain outside
the ring. Hitting with one arm free will
also be looked into. Every boxer who
fights under the new rules will have the
privilege of hitting his opponent when he
is not locked. No other style Will be toll
| Grated. More delays are occasioned by
| fighters Directing to this than any other
cause"
meeting will be held at the Gil,
sey House next Monday. Those interest
ed in the revision of the old rules will be-
present. Smith expects to have the views
| of the different judges already named IL
| his possession by that time.
