HORSE RAN ON.
How Nap and Dan Logan Did the
Volcano.

Nap. the Examiner artist, has visit
ed the volcano, butt found the voIcano
out. Nap had the escort OF Dan Lo-
gan, the newspaper man, who has for
so many years been eleye consul here
for Nova Scotia. Dan was interpreter
philosopher, friend and guide, if you
like Nap, who is so German that he
always leads for the san Francisco
$500 and always with a different belle,
tells the story OF the trip. Nap has no
impeachment in the growth of his hair
and no doubt thinks he speaks Eng
Hsh perfectly. but he calls a plug hat
a pluck ut"
Nap tells with fine gusto how he
and Logan made the trip from Hno up
the road through OIaa. They hired a
horse from Portuguese and borrowed
a surrey from Stacker, the millionaire
newspaper publisher. The horse
stopped d mile from town. They did
everything. but the horse would only
study the landscape and give the artist
and the pressman natural laugh. Nap
was about TO build q fire under the
cayuse when Logan came grandly TO
the rescue by singing the Star Spang-
led Banner The horse ran on till il
dropped dead.

MEETS WITH DEFEAT.
Effort to Extend Franchise of Chi
caEo Street Car Lines Is Prac-
ticaIly Killed.

Chicago, Dec. 2O.-The ordinance pro-
v;ding for an extension of the fran
chises of Chicago street car lines was
again a subject of debate in the city
council Monday night, but no decisive
action was taken on it. On motion Of
Alderman Mavor, an opponent of ex-
tension, the ordinance was taken from
the railroad committee and referred
t. the committee on city hall. This mo-
ticn prevailed by a vote of 80 to 81, al
though a point of order was made that
the committee on city hall was not an
appropriate committee. Mayor Harri.
son overruled this point of order, and
the ordinance is now in the hands of tho
city hall committee, which is regarded
as ant!-eXtension in sentiment. The
reference of the ordinance to this COM
mittee is considered by Mayor Harrison
and other opponents of extension as a
victory. The committee on city hall ia
largely a perfunctory one, and it is
not thought likely the ordinance will
ever be reported out or even considered
by them. Advocates of the ordinance
generally admit defeat.
