work hard at things which ruffled his

frequently on his lips. But now be has
an easy, salaried position, %oongenial

The other evening he sat in his cheer
full apartment, with a warm dressing
gown about him, and talked to a friend
about how the troubles Of life had fallen
away from him, how at last he had ar
rived in the haven. His friend told him
that he was just in the condition to eI-
perience a new disturbance, deeper than
all the others; that this rest was only .
lull in the storm.
"What do you meanT" he asked.
The reply was a counter question.

to live ~alone?" this friend asked.
There was a pause. Then the contem-

DEMAND HEAVY DAMAGES.
Observation-Disclosures of Torrey's
Rough Riders Sues Railway.

A dispatch from Kansas City, Mo-.
says: Because he was injured on the
railroad and prevented from going
with the rough riders to fight for his
country in Cuba, James L. Fleming,
regimental acknowledgements of
Torrey's rough riders, sued the Kansas
City, Fort Scott and Memphis railroad
to-day for $25 900.
Sergeant Fleming lives in Wyoming.
His lawsuit was filed in the circuit
court in this city. In his petition
Fleming recites that he was injured in
the wreck at Tupelo, Miss, sustaining
injuries which led to his being dis
charged from the army. Sergeant
Fleming asks $25, 900, both because he
was injured, and because those injuries
deprived him Of a chance to win glory
and honor as a soldier in the war with
Spain.

troiter to a friend from one of the in

"Oh, l don't know!"
Don't know? Why, man, his bravery
was remarkable! l read all about it in
the papers. When his store was on fire,
he rushed to the scene, ~disregarded the
warnings shouted to him, pushed his
way through the binding smoke and
seething flames and dropping irebrands
to his office, dropped on his knees in
the live Goals before the safe, worked
the hot knob until the combination
caused the glowing doors to open, seized
a valuable paper, rammed it beneath
his vest to protect it from the raging
element and staggered forth again from
the consuming oaldron. 1t was one of
the most thrilling acts Of bravery l ever
heard Of"
"Do you happen to know what that
paper was for which Whittem risked
his life?"
"No, but it must have been a very
important document. No man would
incur such danger without his very for

TELBGRAPHERS MAY STRIKE.
Colorado and Southern Men Awaiting
a Final Conference.

A respite of thirty hours has been
granted the Colorado and Southern, in
which to accede to the demands OF the
Order or R~ailroway T~elegraphers.
President Frank Trumbull has cut
his visit in the south short and writes
that he would be home today, and Is ex-
pected on the train which will arrive
at 5 O'Clock.
A meeting was held yesterday by a
committee representing the conductors,
brakemen and switchmen of the Colo
RADIO and Southern and President
Trumbull will be called upon to con-
slider their grievances also.
But for the telegram from President
Trumbull stating that he would hasten
home the strike would undoubtedly
have been declared at noon yesterday.
More than the required two-thirds of
the telegraphers declared themselves
in favor OF a strike in case their griey-
ances are o adjusted, and it is said,
that the number Of brakemen, conduc-
tors and switchmen Is about the same.
The men say they are disposed to be
fair and they will not strike until every
other means OF settling the differences
are exhausted. However, should it be
impossible to came to a satisfactory I'M
derstanding. a strike will follow. The
feeling is that all differences will be adj
justed when President Trumbull ar
rives. -,
Arrangements win be made to bold
a meeting tonight and receive the an
swer Of President Trumbul.
The grievances of the other branches
of the service on the Colorado and
Southern are along the same Lles as
those of the ~telegraphers. They claim
that the wages are too low and they al
so claim that they are not properly
treated.

the time must come soon when the in
terests of the west must be given the
consideration they deserve. As report
ed by the Congressional Record he
said:
MIR. President. | have not a word to
take back in what | said concerning
the outrageous conduct of one branch
of congress against another. I have
not a sentence to recall from all that 1
have uttered in support of the meas
ure which was SO imepriously and ar
rogantly stricken from the bill by the
conference committee. | have been ap-
pealed to by very many dear friends
here in the senate who have issues at
stake in this bill which they claim are
large and they feel that l am doing
them personal damage and their states
damage by longer delaying the river
and harbor bill through further discus
sion, although the need of more light
on the subject is admitted. But l will
put it on higher ground. am appealed
to by those who have in charge the
great annual appropriation bills, and
| am confronted with the statement
from the chairman of the committee
on appropriations that it Is impossible
to complete the sundry civil bill and
one or W others equally important, or
nearly so, unless this river and harbor
bill is now acted upon by this body. So
far as am concerned, if my associates
feel as do about it, l am willing to do
what the section of country 1 come
from always does, yield to the best
good of the country at large, though
our interests locally may be overriden
for the time being. through the sell
fishnes5 and Vaccinations of a few men
temporarily in power at another place
in this building.
Mr.. President, l hope to see
change some time, yes and soon, where
by the United States may practically as
we'll as theoretically extend far enough
to take in all the people who have to
pay tribute and pay taxes in the sew
eral states.
Mr.. President, the strongest appeal
that l have made here tonight was for
the honor OF the senate. The strongest
feeling I have had was that it was an
Infamous imposition upon the senate
for certain conferees from elsewhere
to insist thai they should neither report
a disagreement. nor review their work
upon the request of the senate.
THE senate, whether impressed by
my argument or by expediency has re-
considered its argument and has sent
the bill back to the committee on oon
ference again. The conference COM
mittee now come here and report that
after due consideration and reconsid-
GRAFTON it is impossible to secure any
change. OF course we know that the
committee from the senate has done
from first to last all it could. Having
established that one point to the honor
of the senate and the credit Of this
body, / am willing to submit this one
time under duress and protest, to the
other features Of the imposition, as 1
term it. and the arrogance of the
house,"
