two and three year old career Galtee
More has won more in stakes for his
owner than any other horse has ever
won in it's whole career, with the
exception of the duke Of Portland's
Donovan. Galtee More has already
placed to his credit $125,O00. He has
only been beaten once, when as a
two-year-old he ran a dead heat for
second place in the great Lancashire
breeders stakes and he has since
twice defeated easily the horse, Brigg,
that came home in front of him on
that occasion. Every other race he
has run he won easily and it is said
by good judges that he has never been
really extended since he reached his
best form.

OSCAR WILDE'S WIFE.

With amazing wifely affection she
had decided to join her husband on
his release from Jail. She may or
may not have forgiven. But nothing
as 1t seems to me, could be more sub
lime than her willingness to forget
to begin again-to bury the dead past
in an oblivious grave. l cannot
conceive of any more tremendous eX-
ample to the multitude of American
women who are forever seeking di-
vorces-many OF them for reasons
which chiefly concern their own hot
tempers and scornful disregard OF all
proper feminine patience. Here was
Il woman who had had to bear infinite
suffering. More than that, she had
been forced to confront infinite odium,
not only for herself, but for her two
young sons. And yet she consented
To crush down all feelings Of outrage
and to go and live once more as his
wife with the man who had so
stumily darkened her days. Heroism
is a word not strong enough to portray
the simple grandeur OF her conduct.
And vet 1t was fated to achieve no re-
suits. Having at last firmly made up
her mind to rejoin her husband. she
experienced, in one side of her body,
on a certain occasion, peculiar disturb
ing thrills. They were the first
symptoms OF that creeping paralysis
which now has her in Its clutches,
and from which death Is the only es-
care. She is at the present time, |
am told, dying woman. Nothing
could we'll be more tragic than this
roor creatures life l knew her
we'll as a beautiful young bride. She
adored her husband, there could not
then have lain shadow on her life.

Washington, March 2.-The confer
ence report on the pension appropri-
alton bill was presented and agreed
to by the senate. Mr.. Stewart ISL.
rep, COLI then resumed his speech
on the bankruptcy bill, but had not
concluded at o'clock when the Alas
ka homestead and railroad right-of-
way bill was laid before the senate.
Mr.. Carter (rep., Mont) who repre-
scented the bill, said that for two days
the senate had been called upon to
| listen to bitter attacks upon a COM
mittee of senators in a speech making
serious charges against individual SEN
ators. He declared that it was unfair
that the senator who delivered the
! speech (Rawlins), s.-9uld have with
held it from publication in the record,
inasmuch as it was delivered in the
course of running debate and he
was satisfied that the speach could
not be published as delivered, Sra'lcl
with the bill itself, without affording a
compete refutation of its charges.

Elkins (rep., w. Va.) made sensa-
tional attack ON the Canadian Pacific
railway. He said that the ailJunt
taken from American roads annually
by the Canadian Pacific aggregates
nearly $5O,0O0,OOO
AS remedy for existing evils Mr..
Elkins said that he would first abol-
ish the bonding privileges and consular
seals at Vancouver. The effect of
this would be to divert trade from
the orient to San Francisco. Second
ly, he would compel obedience to the
inter- state commerce statutes by all
lines connecting with the Canadian
Pacific. Thirdly, he would enforce
section 20 of the present tariff law in
accordance with its meaning and as it
reads. If" inquired Mr. Plat (rep.,
Comm, the Canadian Pacific were
subject to the long and short
haul clause of the interstate
commerce law, would it be able to
take away business from our rail
ways?" 1T would not" replied Mr..
Elkins. The senator has struck the
point of this entire matter. While
our railroads are hampered by that
law, the Canadian Pacific is free from
Its restrictions"

Washington March 3-During
almost the entire session the
senate had under consideration the
| Alaska homestead and the railroad
report of the railway bill. One Of the
! features OF the discussion was the
speech delivered by Mr.. Vest
dem, MOI in which he ridiculed
the idea of homesteading any rart
of Alaska or the construction of rail-
ways in that district. His motion to
eliminate the homestead feature of
the bill by striking out the first Sec
ton was defeated, 81 to Is. Section
two of the bill was amended by the
insertion of the declaration that "all
such rights" Glide lands and beds
of navigable riyers) SHOULD con
tinue to be held by the United States
in trust for the people of any state or
states which may hereafter be created
out of the said DISTRICT" And it was
further amended by the adoption of
foreign provisions offered by the
committee: That all charges for
transportation of freight and passen-
gers on railways in Alaska be tiXed
subject to the approval of the secre-
, tary Of the interior and new rates may
be prescribed by the secretary of the
interior from time to time as he may
deem necessary" The senate nom
