 The house spent most of the day In political debates. In one of these de- bates MT. Hartman of Montana said the proper name of the body should be the house of registers, for it did nothing but register the will of its managers.

 absorbed by the New York Central rail- road.
 Not only will the railroad companies themselves be merged into one corpora tion, but the many auxiliary fast freight lines will be Topped on.
 The financial management and actual operation of the several railroads will be under the direction of one set of offi- cers.
 That. in a nutshell. Is the plan that Is now under consideration. The first pos itive step in the negotiations has just become known. It may be said au- thoritatively that the New York Central officials have been talking with bankers as to the advisability of an Issue of S100, ,0O0. GOO per cent debentures.
 J. Pierpont Morgan has been in Lon don since December 2s discussing the scheme with the foreign holders of the securities. It is the purpose of the vanderbilts to exchange the sloo, 900 0oe debentures for the stock of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern. That railroad, too. is owned by the Wander bilts and lt in turn controls the Nickel Plate. Its capital stock Is $5o.ooo,ooo.
 When these negotiations have been concluded, the reorganized New forE Central will absorb the lines from chi- cago to the Pacific coast. which are now either controlled by the Vanderbilts O.: else by friendly interests. These rail- roads include the Chicago and North western. the Chicago. St. Paul, Mime. apolls and Omaha; the Union Pacific. and, through that railroad. the oregon Short Line and the oregon Railway anu Navigation company.
 Then, too, there Is the Northern Pa. cific. which Is controlled by voting trus' tees, of whom J. Pierpont Morgan i' the chief. Holders Of the stock Of tha road hold large blocks of the Gref ; Northern. of which J. J. Hill Is presi. dent.
 These railroads. therefore, whei bound together. would control all ttt transcontlnental traffic in the north. ern half of the country.

Strange Story of Mir. Terriss' Dog.

Mir Tom Terriss relates a curious and inexplicable incident in connection wisS the assassination of his father, the late William Terriss. On the night of the murder Mrs Terriss was sitting in the drawing room of the Cottage, Bedford park, the late actors home, with pet dog-an intelligent fox terrier called Davie, after Mir. Terriss' favorite part of Lieutenant David Kingsley in "The Harbor Lights" - comfortably asleep upon her lap.
 Messrs. William and Tom Terriss, the sons, were also in the room. The clock marked 20 minutes past z, when sud- denly, without the slightest warning, the dog leaped from Mrs. Terriss' lap and dashed frantically about the room, yelping, snapping and showing all the signs of a paroxysm of mingled rage and fear. The behavior of Davie was so extraordinary that it seriously upset Mrs Terriss for the remainder of the evening. It was exactly at 20 minutes past that Mir. Ttrriss was murdered.
 My brother Will and Iwere playing cbess," said Mir. Tom Terriss when questioned on the subject, land the dog was apparently quietly dozing on my mothers lap, and it startled us all con- siderably as it bounded up and down the room with frantic snaps and snarls. My mother was very much alarmed and cried out: What does he see? What does he seer convinced that the dogs anger was directed at something unseen by us. My brother and l soothed her as well as we could though ourselves con- siderably puzzled at the behavior of an ordinarily quiet and we'll conducted pet.

NOT WdRLIKE.

Those who know something about in
ternational law are very unwarlike.
For instance, ex-senator Edmunds
says that If it shall be proved that the
Maine was maliciously destroyed by
Spanish subjects, without the sanction
or prior knowledge Of the Spanish gov
eminent, we shall have the right to
ask that the criminals be hunted down
and punished with an exemplary sever
ity If Spain shall comply with this
reasonable demand, she will have done
lin Mr.. Edmunds' opinion-her whole
duty in the premises. He thinks Mr..
Blaine was correct in the position he
took when he told Marquis Rudini that
the government of the United States
could not justly be held responsible for
the act Of the individuals who muir
dered those Italian subjects in the par
ish prison of New Orleans In that
case it was only after the effort to
bring the murderers to punishment had
been made and had failed that the
government paid the indemnity. The
ex-senator refuses to believe, In adj
vance of positive proof, that the au-
thorities at Madrid or in Havana had
any guilty knowledge of the plot for
the destruction Of the Maine, If such

1T seems to me that American chivalry
demands that we exercise our finest

the United States forbid dealing in

Giot, who has been well known
leader Of the French socialists, is no
longer leader OF the French socialists.
He is not even socialist. During the
last municipal campaign he was UNI
usually vociferous in demanding that
those who have shall divide with those
who have not. Not long ago he was
lucky enough to draw prize of 100000
in a lottery scheme in connection with
the Paris exposition. His companions
on the stump, who have not drawn
prizes, are telling Giot that he ought to
give them their share of his windfall.
But he doesn't see it in that light. He
insists that the welfare of society re-
quires that property rights shall be
fully protected.
1t Is plain that Giot isn't consistent.
He can't be, for he has found that the
possession of 100000 is inconsistent
with the views he shouted when he was
poor and consistent.

1L1EGAL work.

They can stand great deal in New
York, because they have to. But there
is a pointed protest against the yellow
extras and the way they are sold. Two
vendors. taking opposite sides of the
street, are in the habit of shouting
their extras, arousing people from
would make a nervous citizen believe
that the end of the world was at hand.
Nobody can understand the jargon, and
the miscreants who keep up the racket
do not intend to be understood. They
only intend to give people the idea that
something terrible will be found in the
extras. The assistant corporation
counsel has been asked what can be
done, and he says a vender of bogus
news can be arrested for obtaining
money under false pretenses. He may
be fined or imprisoned. He himself is
familiar with the nuisance, is tired of
it, and would like to see some prosecu-
tions.
If the sellers Of the papers are law
breakers, are not those who make them
also law-breakers? Freedom of the
press is a grand thing, but freedom
from truth isn't Many have thought
during the recent excitement that the
yellow papers ought to be suppressed.

miles, to make sure of their outfits for
the winter; and so determined were
they to procure them that they sat
themselves down calmly in line, like
men waiting to buy seats at a first
night performance, determined to wait
until the goods were put up and set
aside in their names.
An outfit for a miner means every
thing that he uses during the winter,
and this, geing reduced to It's lowest
terms, means bacon and beans. There
are other things, of course, in tins and
in sacks--hour, sugar, salt, pic
kles, dried fruits, desiccated potatoes
to suit the taste; but the work is done,
withstood, on bacon and beans. It is
the easiest food to pack, the quickest to
prepare, and the most lasting and sus-
tanning. The miner usually reckons on
getting his outfit in November, because
he can carry on sledge, after the
snow has set in, four times as much as
he can pack on his back, and if he is
fortunate enough to have dogs he can
draw much more.--John Sidney in the
Century. *
