A Babx on a Trencher.

The other day the Princess of the
Asturias gave birth to a son. Her
husband, Prince Charles, according to
custom, at once placed the tiny infant
upon a silver saIver and carried it
into the presence of the Prime Min
lister and the Ministers of Justice and
Foreign Affairs. Those dignitaries,
with various others of the Court and
of the Cortes. with the Papal Nuncio
and the ladies of the royal suite, re
ceiyed the youthful royalty with be
coming Difference
It may be that the infant regretted
SO early an introduction into the ETH
quette Of courts, but concerning this
history deponeth not. In any event,
a baby upon a trencher is indeed a
dainty morseI to set before the King.
Probably it is well for the nerve of
our Cabinet officers, that such Ievees
have never been popular at the White
House.

TO FIGHT RAILROAD DEAL.
Representatives From the Northwest
Confer as to Plan of Resistance

Representative From the Northwest
Confer as to Plan of Resistance
One of the most interesting subjects OF
discussion among the Northwestern mem
bers of Congress is the prospect of ac-
ton by Congress for the purpose Of pre-
venting the consummation of the four
hundred million Northern securities deal
It is practically certain that some steps
with this end in view VIII be taken within
a few days. The members from the
States interested are divided in opinion
as to the proper method to be pursued,
some believing that the Attorney General
should be requested to act, while Others
favor the appointment OF Congressional
committee to investigate the proposed or
ganization to ascertain whether 1t is in
restraint of trade, and therefore in yio-
iation OF the antitrust act
Conferences have been held in Wash
ington on the subject The best lawyers
among the members believe the partieu-
larly vulnerable point in the combination
is the participation in it OF Union Pa
eiic and Burlington for the reason that
these two roads parallel each other
throughout the State of Nebraska, in di-
rect contravention to the constitution Of
that State
Judge Stark, of Nebraska, who stands
high in his State as lawyer, while de-
clining to indicate the line of action that
might be taken, today said: IF the At
torney General chose TO do so. he could
dissolve the Northern Securities Company
by an appeal TO the courts under the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court of the United
States in the Addystone Pipe Line case
and other cases tried by it under the
antitrust law.
There is no doubt in my mind that the
new organization win be in restraint of
trade in my State. The Union Pacific and
Burlington are parallel and competing
lines in Nebraska, and it is now proposed
to place them under one control. This is
directly prohibited by the Nebraska con-
stitution, and I am confident that some
action will be taken to prevent it
Because of the fact that these two
roads run across the State, the question
of the validity of the Northern securities
organization can be raised more readily
in Nebraska than in any other State, and
for this reason the other interested
States are urging that Nebraska should
take the first steps to secure the dissoIu-
ton of the company"

by the Western members it is stated

Advancing Civilization.

In variety Of ways, the metropolis
of the country is giving signs of in
creasing civilization We do not nee
essarily look for a high grade of mu-
nicipal life from a city merely be-
cause its voters have declared that
they have had enough of Tammany
Hall. A considerable degree of men
tai and moral darkness is consistent
with a dislike of Devery, his manners.
and his methods.
New York, however, is giving other
signs. Her newspapers thrill with
joy at the suggestion that a first
class administration is to be in charge
of the police force and that LAWYER
of the first rank is to be corporation
counsel. Finally, the announcement
is made that visible and Iegible signs
are to be placed on the street lamps.
and a city magistrate, with some ex-
travaganee, but also some provoca-

TEACHING IN THE PHILIPPINES
Three Native officials of tn Island
of BuntOn Vow In Jail.

One of the teachers sent to the Phil
ippines has written letter to an official
OF the War Department telling of the de-
cet of native officials and Indicating
some OF the difficulties fac!ag the civil
government. The zetter is dated at Rom
bIon and says;
"a party of US, consisting Of several
teachers and Governor Sans. arrived at
the Island CT Banton, where the people
turned out to give US welcome. as the
visit of the Governor is always a big
event. After We had taken luncheon the
teachers to be located in Banton had
their baggage unloaded and placed In the
convent where they we're to be chartered
Governor Sans then called all the citi-
zens together in the tribunal and gave
them certain orders, after which he in
troduced the American teachers. inst
as we were about to leave he called the
presidenta aside for a moment. telling
him the teachers would now be left in
his charge and he would be held respou-
sible for them.
AT this the presidente began to shake
and trembIe, and after considerable STAN
mering and hesitation he said it would be
impossible to guarantee the teachers
safety. Finally he broke down and CON
fessed that only few days before he
had entertained $50. Insurgents and so Of
fcers.
ut was then decided inadvisabIe to
leave the teachers in such a dangerous
neighborhood, and the Governor placed
the presidente under arrest. The presi-
dente was then put in the sweat-box and
made to tell all he knew.
GAS result, a detachment of soldiers
was left at Rotnblon, having been hur-
ried there before daybreak. The detail
placed the vice-presidente and secretary
under arrest aud now all three officials
are lying in iafI awaiting trial for having
sheltered and furnished supplies to the
insurgents.
Reports are constantly coming from
Manila of the hardships inflicted uDoa the
American lady teachers. A report from
Tacloban is that ote teacher is living

To Beautifr wnshinrton.

At the present session of Congress
something may be done to beautffy
still more the already beautiful city
of Washington.
The part which Congress has to
play IN this matter is purely a bust
ness one, and it is from the business
point of view that the newspapers
and citizens of the District should
speak and act.
An admirable plan has been pre-
pared by. a Commission OF experts, Mr.

sentatiOn to the legislative branch OF

plan viii ring Washington with a sys-
tenn OF beautiful parks; in some re-
spects finer than the noble success
sion Of parks by which Boston is
adorned.
There are other plans a-foot
notably the Memorial Bridge and the
Memorial Arch. The whole influence
of the District should be concentrate
ed in support of the plans of decora-
ton. The people of the country
know better than the citizens of
Washington the need of concentra-
ton when Congress is to be convine-
ed, and the folly of scattering their
forces.
Every interest should, therefore,
get behind the Commission. Even
those who would prefer to eoncen-
trate behind the Arch or the Bridge
should waive their preference, for
their own plans cannot succeed so
quickly as with the support of the
Commission. To this end, the Com
missions advice should be asked. for
