Mr. NJ. L. Robbins, general passenger
agent Of the Central; Mr.. VIM. Doherty,
assistant general passenger agent of the
Houston East and West Texas, and Mr..
Wallace O'Leary chief rate clerk in the
general passenger department Of the

Mr.. O'Leary meeting of rate clerks on
the Texas sheet. None of the gentlemen
named were communicative concerning the
matter of the threatened withdrawal OF
the Texas and Pacific unless penalties for
violations of the bureau agreement were
increased. The Associated Press dispatches
from Hot Springs were TO the effect that
the matter was not brought up during the
meeting, but II was learned here yester-
day that this was not the case and that
on the contrary the action of the Texas

Dallas, Texas, April l5.-E. p. Turner.
general passenger agent of the Texas and
Pacific Railway company, returned today
from the meeting of the Southwestern
Passenger bureau, held on April 10 and IL
at Hot Springs, Ark.
The Post correspondent asked him.
Have you read the press reports sent
out from Hot Springs, to the effect that
the bureau neither In executive or omen
session discussed the matter OF the pro-
posed withdrawal OF the Texas and Pa
cifc unless granted redress of griev-
ance?"
Yes, have read that report" Mr..
Turner replied.
SIS the report correct?"
NO, 1t is not. The matter OF our with
arawal was discussed in the meeting at
Hot Springs"
Did your company withdraw the notice
iiled with Chairman Pratt about thirty
days ago. announcing determination to
withdraw from the Southwestern Passen-
ger bureau unless the grievance you com
planned of was adjusted?''
NO, Sir: that notice has not been with
drawn. Neither do we propose to with
draw 1t until the matter has been ar
ranged satisfactorily " us. / believe that
that Will be done as soon as the executive
officers meet. l do not know when such

1t is evident, from Mr.. Turner's de-
termlned attitude, that unless the mini
MUM fine for rate cutting is increased
from 800 to $780, as demanded by the
Texas and Pacific, that road will with.

NOT 4 HEROINE.

Miss Jane C. Yatman can never be a hero, and there is some doubt apout her ability to ever be a heroine. There, is. however, no doubt just now about ber abilitv to make first-clase fool of herself Miss Yatman is the Brooklyn young woman who has just done seven hundred miles on a bicycle. She is twenty-four years old. When she be- ean the run she wae fresh and come Iv voung woman. When she finished it she appeared old, thin and haggard Af the start she weighed 121 pounds; at the close only 115. The task She set for herself was to ride seven hun dred miles consecutively in eighty-four hours. She completed the work in eighty one hours and five minutes. The ride, she says, was hard work, not pleasure. and she will never again at tempt a similar feat. During the last twenty-five miles she suffered positive torture from loss of sleep and would gladly have laid herself down in the mud of the road in pouring rain and slept. During that period she suffered from Authorizations, and had it not been for her pacemakers would have abandoned the task. Il was going mad," she says, "and I knew it. If I had had to go another century l would have ended a raving lunatic, I am sure"
 If Miss Yatman has learned enough to keep from doing or trying to do another such feat she is improving. It would have been well for her if she had been a teacher in school where she was forbidden to make an unholy show of herself.

dial plate on board is divided in two parts corresponding to the two sides of a ship. Two hands indicate the direc- tion of the vessel signalled. A system of bells at the upper part of the dial plate and one of the receivers on board indicate by sound with greatest dis tinctness the rhythm of the screw ot a distant vessel. When coming within seven kilometres (about four miles and a half) of steamer the hand of the telephone turns and indicates the di- rection of the vessel and follows its route while the bells and receiver beat simultaneously the cadence of the dis tant screw. The noises of the vessel on which the apparatus is located cause no disturbance, owing to the special construction of the submarine receiver,

CAN'T SEE MUCH.

Human nature being what it is we suppose that when the last trump is blown somebody will turn up a scorn- full nose and find fault with the way the blowing is done. And it is not surpris- ing to read that Professor Goldwin Smith, of Canada, doesn't think that Admiral Dewey did much in Manila bay. He says that the adoration of Dewey shows how the "head of Colum- bia has been turned by the war; He asks himself what Dewey did, and his answer is that Dewey sat in almost perfect safety and destroyed at long range line of helpless tubs" and that the Spaniards alone had any opportu- nifty of showing any heroism."
 We'll we'll well We hope Professor Goldwin Smith. of Canada, will be in New York the latter part of this week. Not that the spectacle could teach him anything about Dewey and hero-w wor- ship, but it would help to give him clear idea of the difference between him and the people of the United States.

summer now gone it could, perhaps, be managed and poesy may take hold of a fashionable call gown and suggest TO- nance in the girl who wears 1t, but in so doing the fashionableness is lost sight of. No such effect may be produced in the tailor dress, however, or dowdiness is the inevitable result, and very rarely
 can fanciful notions be successfully ap-
 piled to the stylish cloth dress.
 There is really fine variety in the current treatment of cloth. The most marked characteristic of that treatment is the jacket bodice, which in some form
 or other is seen on every hand. Some women profess to be tired of 1t just be- cause of it's plentifulness but this is a confession of a lack of judgment or in genuity. New forms of it are numer- ous. there are new ways of trimming it., and it is in every way worthy of con- tinuance. Pictured here is a new type of its blazer form. In cut it differed but little from what has been had before, but that little was quite enough to make it seem up to date, ttnd the manner of finishing was one of the newest wrn- kles, Dark green ladies cloth was it's material, the skirt being to match. Ma chine stitching followed the edges and darts, and so much was usual. The dominant feature was the facing of re- vers and collar, which was composed of quillings of white satin ribbon With a black under bodice, say of taffeta, such jacket will show off handsomely and be in the front rank Of style. As a medium for restoring a jacket that Is bit out of date such quilled ribbon will serve finely. FLORETTE.

UMMONED,

Our empire, which comprises immense territories in Europe and in Asia, has been summoned by Divine Providence to contribute toward the friendly inter- course of the people of the Occident with those of the Orient. In attaining this historical object, we have had the friendly cooperation of the Emperor of China, who has ceded to us the use of the port of Talienwan and of Port Ar thur, and has opened to us through his possessions an outlet for the great line of railway from Sboy to the Yellow Sea.
 So says the Czar of Russia. The Elm peror of China has not been heard from. Perhaps when he is it will be found that he isn't quite as clear about Divine Providence as the Czar is Powerful and successful folks have al- ways known that Divine Providence summoned them to do things When the Israeltes went out to slay the other sites'' and take what they want ed they obeyed the summons of Divine Providence. Alexander, Caesar, Napo- leon and all other great conquerors were also summoned. And now, in these lat ter days, the people of the United States have been summoned to spread civill-
  zation and Christianity among the It, tie brown folks in the Philippines.

fl NEJp WONDER.

The modern wonder workers are very busy. An Italian has been doing some interesting things in the way of wireless telephoning at sea, his idea being to enable a vessel at sea to learn of the approach or proximity of another vessel. The experiments were made from man-ofwar, and part of the apparatus was located in the con- ning-tower, while the receiver was placed below :he water-line, depending on the water to transmit the sound of the neighboring propeller. According to the official reports the submarine receiver is a kind Of box secured to the hull with number of Impressions so as to receive sounds from all direc- tions From the center of each of these an electric wire leads to the tel ephone, which latter contains an in- genious mechanism based on Edison's well-known scientific principle.

Some impatence is manifested with fashions that keep cloths as the most desirable of materials, Cloths are worn so generally and so beo0mingly that this dissatisfaction is not apparent at first glance It shows chiefly in the blun- ders of the malcontents. They try to make the cloth up too fancifully. for getting that the present fashions and the picturesque do not blend easily Their union is so difficult that one who wishes to be just right and up-to-date should not, unless she has almost gem jus in planning cloths dabble in roman-
