THE SEABOARD AIR LINE.

Tne State Senate committee on roads
last night in Richmond further consid-
cred the Sea5oard's bill for line to
Washington, but did not reach vote.
II is understood that an amendment
will be engra.ted on the bill providing
that the money realized from the sale
of the States interest in the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac road shall
be invested iD Virginia bonds, which
shall be applied TO the sinking fund for
the Liquidation OF the public debt.
Mr.. John Shelton Williams, president
of the Seaboard Air Line. says: ut is
the intention of the Seaboard to build
and operste it's own line between Rich
mond and the Potomar. The Seabosrd
will secure outlets, north, east and west,
by means of the Pennsylvania lines and
the Baltimore and Ohio system. The
Pennsylvania will be tapped at Quan.
tico, or at some point between Quantico
and Washington. The SesbOard, In
using this connection, will cross the
Potomac on the Pennsylvania tracks,
and thus gain entrance TO Washington.
The other plan proposed is to con-
pect with the Baltimore and Ohio,
which has two lines into Washington,
one to the north and the other to the
south. AS yet it is undetermined which
OF the lines will be used in making the
connection. Arrangements already ex.
ist by which the Potomac can be
bridged, thereby giving the Baltimore
aud Ohio through line south and the
Seaboard a through line north and west.
"The Richmond and Washington Air
Line Railway proposes to run through
the counties of Henrico. Hanover, Car
oline. Spostsylvsnis, Stafford, Prince
William. Fairfax and Alexandria, and
the cities of Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Alexandra, and the taxes to the
cities and counties through which it
will mass will probably amount to from
$4,000 to $4,000 per annum. In ad-
dition to the taxes paid to the State.
Under ordinary circumstances, such
an application as we ask for would be
granted without hesitation by the leg
islature of Virginia; the only reason
that this charter is not promptly grant
ed is that the State of Virginia herself
is interested in the Richmond, Fred
ercksburg and Potomac Railroad"

CARDINAL GIBBONS AND WON
ANS RIGHTS.

That portion of the sermon OF Cardi-
nal Gibbons at the Cathedral 10 Balti.
more on Sunday last relating to the
dnties of women to their homes has
created a stir 10 that city as we'll az
elsewhere.
In his sermon the Cardinal said:
"I regard 'woman's rights women
and society leaders In the higher walks
Of Ii @ as the worst enemies OF the fe-
male sex. They rob women of all that
ia amiable and gentle, tender and at
tractiye; they rob her OF her innate
grace of character and give her nothing
IN return but masculine boldness and
brezen effrontery.
"They are habitually preaching
about woman's rights and prerogatives
and have not a word to say about her
duties and responsibilities. They
uithdraw her from those sacred obli-
cations which properly belong TO ner
sex and fill her with ambition to usurp
nositions for which neither God nor ma
ture ever intended her.
VI J00er tQ6 luuuObOO W o~

"She never feels at home unless sne

ili,ies of domestic life. -,
"Her heart is abroad, 1t is exuiting

"Her afflicted husband comes nome

REPLY TO Il HUNG CHANG.
Will Welcome 0vertures When
There is Government.
NO TEMPoRISING ACTION.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The United
States has taken the lead in replying
to China that there will be no temper
izing negotiations and there is every
reason to believe the powers will be
united in this same policy. The ans
wer of the United States was quickly
followed by similar action on the part
of Germany. The other powers will
follow Immediately, with similar re-
sponses.
The text of the reply of this govern
ment has now been made public and is
here given:
Sent to the Chinese minister August
%, 1900-1:30 p. n.y. Memorandum in
response to the Chinese minister's COM
munication of cablegrams from Viceroy
Earl Lii Hung Chang; dated August 10
and 81, proposing the immediate ces-
sation of hostilities and the appoint
entof an envoy to conduct negotia-
tions, received at the department of
state, August 90 and 81, 1900.
While the condition set forth in the
memorandum delivered to the Chinese
minister Aug. IL, has not been fulfilled
and the powers have been compelled
10 rescue their ministers by force of
arms unaided by the Chinese govern
ment, still this government is ready to
welcome any overtures for truce, and
invite the other powers to join, when
security is established in the capital
and the Chinese government shows its
ability and willingness to make on it's
part an effective suspension of hostil-
tiles there and elsewhere in China.
When this is done, and we hope it will
be done promptly-the United States
will be prepared to appoint repre-
sentative to join with the representa-
tives of the other similar interested
powers and of the authoritative and
responsible government of the Chinese
empire to attain the ends declared in
our circular to the powers of July 3,
1900

No Extra Session Proba BILE.

Washington, Aug. 27.-The subject
of an extra session of Congress, it was
said, was not mentioned at the meet
ing and it can be stated on the author
ity of member of the cabinet that
under present conditions an extra ses-
sion is altogether improbable. 1t is
pointed out that the president now has
at his command a far larger appropria-
ton than could possibly be utilized in
SO short a time as the next meeting of
congress in December even under the
most extraordinary circumstances.

Indoor gymnastics of the upside
down and violent type" when in
ldulged in to excess, are said to induce
various physical ills in after life. In
the endeavor to develop one special
lied set of muscles, the harmonious
balance of the physical forces of the
body is destroyed. The athlete, with
the arms. shoulders and chest of a
Hercules, may have puny legs, an ir-
regular heart. or some other form of
weakness. What the man of today
needs most says recognized au-
thority in the science of physical de-
velopment, sis not athletics, but plen-
ty of fresh air in his lungs. Instead
of violent exercise that weakens him
for hours afterward, he needs to learn
how to breathe right, stand right and
sit right"
