UNITED S71TES or Il S7RALT4.

| The federation of the Australian colo
MES will be an interesting and import
ant event. Five of the colonies will
| become members of the new United
States at it's formation, and two 9TH
ers, West Australia and New Zealand,
| may be expected to join it after a time.
After a careful study of both systems
the United States plan of federation
was chosen as preferable in the main
to the Canadian form of government,
which is really that of limited unfit
cation rather than a federation. In the
Australian plan the powers of govern
ment not specifically conferred upon the
federation by the constitution are re-
served to the colonies The grant of
powers to the federation is quite SINH
lar to the grant of powers to congress
by the United States constitution, and
includes such matters as control of GUS
toms duties, the common defenses and
intercolonial trade. The parliament is
to consist of two houses senate and
house of representatives. The senate is
to represent the colonies and will be
composed'of six senators from each col
ony, elected by popular vote. The Aus
tralians evidently think our method of
indirect election of senators is not de-
serving of imitation. The members of
the lower house are to be elected by
districts formed on a population basis.
According to the latest figures of popu-
lation, the representation would be dis
tributed among the colonies as follows:
New South Wales rs, Victoria 49,
Queensland TO- South Australia Z, Tas-
mania s. West Australia s. This gives
total of rs, as against membership
in the senate of &C. A federal Supreme
court is established, modelled in the
main after the United States Supreme
court. The executive consists of a gov
pointed by the Queen of England and a
responsible cabinet, exercising the real
executive powers.
The spectacle of a federal government
acting on the peculiarly British princi-
pie of ministerial responsibility is some
thing unique in political history. and
the operation of the plan in that re-
spect will be watched with interest

EXPL1N.tIORT.

| Much of the testimony that has been
| given in the inquiry concerning the
Sunday trolley tragedy is just what it
was expected to be- There never was a
| finer bridge built, the approach was all
right, everything was in order, and
everything and everybody were care
fully watched. Still, the car went off,
and there We're many funerals and
much mourning.
! There is an interesting and very i'm
| portant conflict between the testimony
given by the motorman of the Inflated
car and John D. Cruite, a passenger
who saved his life by jumping just as
the car was falling. The motorman said
he had been cautioned to run slowly
on all curves and bridges. He obeyed
orders and in going down the incline to
the bridge there was no power on, the
brake was partly set, and the car did
not go any faster than it did on Fri
day and Saturday, or on the previous
trips Sunday He did not notice any
depression at the point where the rails
on the approach connected with those
on the bridge, although the car did
Jump slightly when passing that
point. The car did not run fifteen feet
on the bridge before jumping the track.
He reversed the power, and when he
found that he had no contact he did his
utmost to stop the car with the brake.
He had almost succeeded in stopping it
when it went over and he jumped to
save his life.
Here we have everything all right,
including a capable and faithful motor
man. But the story told by Mr.. Cruite
is another one. The vital parts Of it are
as follows: 1.-THE car went down the
grade very fast, rocking and swinging.
1t struck the bridge and bounded into
the air. Then I knew 1t was off the
rails. 1t ran humping along for so
feet or so. turned suddenly to the right
anu uTUppeu OIL the DlluS6. L uOll
know just how fast the car was going
1t stands to reason that it wasn't 60
ing slow when 1t went off. I was
watching the motorman. He didn't
shut the power off, and he didn't try
to put the brake on. I am sure Of that.
He seemed to be froze. I am here to
tell the truth and not make it light or
heavy for anyone. I never saw the
motorman before know he didn't |
shut off the power or put on the brake.
I was watching him all the time, and |
wondering why he didn't stop the car"
when the car struck the solid bridge |
it seemed to bound. 1t was like riding |
down hill on a sled and striking a |
bumper I don't know how else to de- |
scribe it,
Mr.. Cruite's testimony is impressive |
It Is also explanatory. Furthermore, it |
is plain that Mr. Cruite being present,
ought to know something about what
happened.

BETSY REFUSED TO BE LEFT.

The Black Cats Persistence Won Her
Berth in the Presidents Private
Car
! A certain American railroad presi-
| dent has pet cat, who travels ABOUT
In his private car with him. Many pat
rons of the line of which he is the head
have noticed Betsy curled up in VIM
dow. or soberly washing her face on
| the rear platform. About two years
ago the private car Of President Cannlf
stopped one cold winter night IN the
Union depot os Fort Wayne, Ind.
While the president was In the city at
tending to some business G. Berrell
Taylor. the porter of his private car,
was standing on the steps taking In
bit Of fresh air. He says he saw com
ing about the homeliest cat that he
ever looked at. She was all bones and
corners, without an ounce Of meat that
would tell how the joints were moved.
The tabby yowled in such distressing
tones that the porter fed her, and vows
she ate as much as man. Betsy was
then invited to leave. but insisted on
staying, and finally had to be dropped
overheard by a strong grip on the nape
of the neck. The train at that time wac
making good Roadway out of the city,
and all expected that tabby was being
left far behind This proved that they

there was under all those bones, that
had been the most conspicuous part Of
the animal
When the train got out to West Fort
Wayne one of the brakemen called Mr..
Taylors attention to a homely bit OF
hair and bones on the truck of the car.
An examination proved that it was
Betsy. If there had been any doubt in
the mind of the porter before 1t was
dispelled now. and Betsy was at once
put down as belonging to the hobo
class. She was thrown off into an ash
heap on the side of the road as the train
started, and this time all were sure that
Betsy had missed her train. There was
another surprise for them at Knox,
some distance on, when the car tap
highness holding down a berth on the
bumpers and covered with snow from
head to foot. She again submitted to
being tossed further than ever off into
the siding, and seemed to feel that this
was to be a part of her life hereafter.
The rumbling of the carwheels was no
sooner heard on the start away, how
ever, before Betsy was back on the
bumpers again as big as life and there
she stayed until the train reached
Stoney Island, 140 miles away.
The next morning when President
Canniff got out to commence the days
business he was introduced to the new
occupant of his car. who at that time
was putting on a little bit of avordu-
pois on her very lean sides by means of
some bits of veal which had been Sc
lected from the scraps of the culinary
department of the train on which they
had been travelling all night. Few cats
in the country have the record of three
times catching the presidents car on |

Faint Echoes of the Suiplice Bodice.
Silk bodices embodying surploe sug-

consequence the surplice likeness in

this point. 1t was finely tucked hello

The British Pacific cable, which is
now soon to be begun, will be 1886 miles
long, extending from Vancouver by
way of flaming Island and Fiji to Nor
folk Island, and thence by branches to
New Zealand and Australia. The cost
is placed at s7,5O0,OO0 and is to be borne
by Canada, Australia and the British
government but chiefly by Australia.
The object is to unite the scattered
fragments of the Empire more closely,
and also to reduce cable rates. AT
present the rate is S1.1S between Great
Britain and Australia by the eastern
route. This will be materially reduced
at once, and as the enterprise is to be
government undertaking, rates VIII be
continuously reduced as fast as increase
of business justifies it. Existing private
cable companies are, of course fght1ng
tho nroiect all they can.

Newest Word In Flanders.

4 Come new words have necessarily
been added to the English language
since the Introduction OF the horses
less carriage. and the woes bularies
OF other tongues have also naturally
been similarly enriched In all coun-
tries where such carriages have be-
come popular. says the New York
Herald.
With n few exceptions all these
words are technical and their true
significance IL only understood by
the electrician and machinist. The
members OF the Flemish academy at
Anvcrs recently determined 10 sup
ply n word which would be really In
telliRihle to all who understand the
language of Flanders and who had
ever seen horseless carriage, and
the result was that after much deep
thought they framed the following
word.
''sneipaardelooszonderspoorwegpe-
trorijtuig."
This euphonIous word signifies "a
carriage which is worked by means
OF petroleum. which travels fast,
which has no horses and which is
not run on rails. " That is. from one
point OF view. a fine example of null
tum In parvo. but u may be ques-
toned whether one extraordinarily
long word is preferable to half n
dozen small ones. The Flemish peo-
pie. however. think differently. and
academicians at Anvers have been
highly comnlimented by them on
their linguistic skill as seen in this
unique word.
