The Jam of BaIor.

Chicago News.
Few men are performing greater service to
the British nation than Ghulam, the Jam Of
Balor. This native OF Indias hot soil Is as
true to her Majesty as any man in the eIn-
pire, and we are glad to pay him our modest
tribute. Recently party of English survey
ors under Captain Burn was attacked by the
tribesmen in Mekran. The camp was routed
and the party was obliged TO flee in all di-
rections. Some of the members reached Or
mara, where they were provided for. But
others of the party We're less fortunate and
were lost These were found by Ghulam. the
Jam of Balor, who Is conducting them TO
Ormara.
The jam belongs 10 one of the most distin-
guished families in Balor His title is James
Jam of Balor. but his political opponents
contracted it to Jim Jams, which served to
increase the temperature in the region OF
the old gentlemans neckwedr He issued
pieman forbidding any person getting hilarF-
Gus with his title. Since then he has been
known by the more euphonious title, the
Jam of Balor. The Jams family Is married
into the best families In and around Balor.
His oldest brother is the Jelly Of Kawhat.
a rich province due east of Balor. The jelly
married the charming daughter of BOohoo,
the Whanghdoodle of SOmemore. His eldest
son Is engaged to the Jams NTH wife's
niece, who is as beautiful she is homely.
With the other tribal chieftains the Jam
has formed strong alliances In the kibash
Of Mince, however. the Jam has formida-
bic enemy. The history OF the celebrated
Balor- Mince war Is too well known TO be re-
hashed here; IL ended through the interven-
tion Of mutual friends-not, however, until
thousands of lives were lost.
IL was not without exasperating difficult
ties that England won over the jam ia
friendship. Bus the mother country has been
more than repaid. for in all her domain
there Is not a more constant. loyal friend
than this same old Jam of Balor. When her
troops get whipped by handful of tribes
men Jam comes to the front and leads them
toward home when things are quiet and
England's vigorous foreign policy is getting
rusty old man Jam goes out and stirs up
the animals. Macaulay says OF him: He
IS the great Jam, the Jam OF Jams. who, in
his whole eventful career, has never been
iammed.'

THE TRAINS DID NOT PAY
THE FORT WAYNE TAKES OFF ITS
EXPERIMENTAL MIXED TRAINS.
The Big Four and c. & o. Not Full
Pledged Vanderbilt Lines-Miscel-
IaneOue Railway News.

A few weeks ago it was stated that the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago had put
on an experimental mixed train between
Fort Wayne and Crestline-a freight train
hauling one or two coaches to accommodate
passengers, and carrying only light freights
for local stations, in order that but little
time should be taken for stops when deliv-
ering the freight at way stations. The
service has proved unsatisfactory and the
train has been taken off. There is much
speculation as to the reason why the train
did not pay, but when sifted down it is
shown that the passengers were not salts
fed with the speed of the train. 1t was
difficult to make the train schedule where
stops were so numerous and often much
more time was taken in unloading freight
than had been expected There are roads,
however, which have made mixed trains
the best-paying on their systems. The Chi
cago, Milwaukee SS st. Paul is running one
between Oxford Junction and Calmar, Ia,
and its passenger earnings are larger than
those of the regular passenger trains per
mile run. On another part of the system
a mixed train is run which accommodates
commercial travellers, and is very profit
able train. Investigation would doubtless
show that a number of roads are running
mixed trains at a profit

The Chicago & Southeastern is again in
trouble over nonpayment of its employees,
owing them for several months service,
and there seems to be no valid excuse For
four months H. Moore. general utility man
on the road, admits the line has been doing
a good business, it has been favored by
other roads in the way of furnishing equip
ment, hoping to help the road out, but as
fast as the money comes in, as one well
acquainted with its affairs puts it, it dis
appears, being sent to one of the higher Of
ficials. Within the last year two or three
times the general manager has taken trips
with his family, travelling in a luxurious
style in private car, and naturally the en-
ployes feel that it would be better for the
road for him to be on the ground, looking
after the business of the company and see
ing that of the earnings the employees get at
least a share. For years this road has been
struggling seemingly, and. no matter what
the earnings are, the employees are unable
to get their pay at the proper time, some, it
1t is stated, being eight months behind in re-
ceiving their pay 1t is the only road in
the State that is having trouble continu-
ally with its employees on the wage ques-
ton, not that the road does not promise
good wages, but that the wages are SO long
time in coming.

Not strictly Vanderbilt Roads.

New York Special
The meeting of the Joint Traffic Associa-
ton, originally called for Jan. 26, has been
postponed, and will be held early in Feb
ruary. The reason for the calling of this
meeting has been alluded to already. 1t
concerns itself with the attitude of the
Big Four-C Chesapeake & Ohio combina-
ton, which has been such, since the last
agreement on rates. as to suggest the ad-
visibility of a better understanding than
appeared to have been reached at that
time 1t is understood, however, that much
progress has been made in this direction,
and no doubt when the time comes Mr.. In
gals will not prove unreasonable. The mat
ter, however, goes to show that the Big
Four is not necessarily to be regarded as a
Vanderbilt road and always subject to the
influences which are dominant in the case
of the other roads. Mr. Ingalls, generally
seems to feel himself free to adopt an atti-
tude sometimes widely differing from that
of the Vanderbilt officials in point of fact
the Big Four is essentially one of the So
called Morgan roads. -

The freight officials of the roads running
east from Chicago met in that city yester-
day for the purpose of considering grain
rates between Chicago and the Atlantic
coast. The meeting adjourned without TAX
ing any action. 1t was freely admitted by
all of the roads represented at the meeting
that the rates are in bad way, and that
grain rates especially are badly demoral-
lied No agreement could be reached on
the restoration of the rates on merchan-
disc which have been cut of late, and there
was still less chance for an agreement on
little grain moving now, and this, it was adj
mitted at the meeting, was the chief thing
that prevents the rates from going to
pieces. The meeting adjourned indefi-

A RoBBER REFUSED
A Plucky Cashier Promptly Gets His


PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 20.-A bold at
tempt was made to hold up the Citizens
bank on the East Side about $3.50 this
afternoon, but owing to the courage and
thoughtfulness of Cashier A. w. Lam
bert the robber was put to flight with
out securing cent. The bank had just
closed for the day and Mr.. Lambert, the
manager, with his assistants, was pre-
pairing to put the money in the vault
when masked man entered the front
door. which Is probably ten feet from the
counter. In his right hand he held a re-
volver while with his left he was appa-
rently holding his mask close to his face
Pointing to a stack Of bills on the coun-
ter behind the screen the robber de-
manded that the cashier hand them out
Lambert started to pick up the money,
but at the same time secured a revolver
from a drawer. AS soon as the robber
saw that he was confronted with a re-
volver he turned and fled, but before
he reached the street Cashier Lambert
fired shot at him which passed through
his clothing.
Dozens of people were on the street
and large crowd was attracted by the
shooting, but the fleeing robber soon
reached his horse, which was hitched
only block away, and mounting It was
soon out of sight,
Some time before the robbery the man
was noticed in the vicinity of the bank,
but it was not believed that he contem-
plated making a raid on the bank, stu
ated as 1t was on crowded street and
in broad daylight. The sheriff and a
posse started in pursuit of the highway
man, but no trace of him has been Sc
cured up to a late hour.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2O.--"My elec-
tion as chairman of the Democratic con-
gressional committee, il not unexpected,
was at least undesired by me. I have
endeavored to impress upon my col
leagues the impossibility of my pro-
tracted residence in Washington, and
my consequent inability to conduct
campaign affairs from the center of gov
ernment.
"In appointing the organization COM
mittees 1 will endeayor to obviate, as
far as practicable that which I.cppceive
to be the error involved in my selection.
The campaign will be contested, as far
Is national issues are concerned, upon
the Chicago platform. This is not only
rendered necessary because the Demo-
cratic party In Its last national conven-
tion enunciated the party's principles,
but also for the reason that the con-
gressional committee tonight reafiirmed
that platform. The failure of the Re-
publican party to redeem its pledges the
revenue deficiency under the Republican
bill, the bold declaration of the secretary
of the treasury repudiating the bimet-
allism of the st. Louis platform and an
nouncing the gold standard as the basis
of Republican hopes, must insure the
support not only of those who voted for
Bryan, but of all who were induced to
believe that good times would follow
-McKinley's election, and that after all,
the Republican party constituted the
only really bimetallic organization in
the country. The failure Of international
bimetallism, the affirmance of the i'm
potency of this country by the present
administration, will involve overwhelm-
ing defeat, AS tending in the same di-
rection are the unfulflled promises of
our Republican brethren to supply all
their adherents with lucrative positions.

BANK EXAMINERS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.--Mr. Chas.
Dawes, the comptroller of the CURRENCY,
has issued the following circular to all
national banks and bank examiners:
1T has come to my attention that it
has been the custom of some national
hank examiners to accept employment
and compensation therefor in making
extra examinations and reports of con-
'dition of national banks assigned them
for regular examination, which exami-
nation and reports are for the use of the
bank, and not for this office.
For an examiner to accept employ
ment on examinations Of the same bank
from both the government and the bank
has tendency to Interfere with that
rigid impartiality which should char
acterize his work as government Of

examiners will not be allowed to ACCEPT
employment from national banks in
making extra examinations for private

JACKSONVILLE, ILL.,, Jan. 2O.-wil-
liam Jennings Bryan has made his ap-
pearance as witness in the Draper
murder trial. Upon Mr.. Bryan's en-
trance the audience became excited, and
1t was with great difficulty that order
could be maintained. The presence of
two of the presidential candidates of
the last campaign--General Palmer and
Mr.. Bryan-was too much for the spec
tators. Counsel frequently appealed to
the court to prevent the demonstrations
of the audience, but his honor was un-
able to keep them In control,
Mr.. Bryan testified that he was in the
same office with Mr.. Draper for four
years. and that he knew his reputation
for honesty and integrity to be good.
On cross examination, the witness ad-
mitted that Draper had violent tenn
per, which was easily provoked.
