From The Hospital
Now that after much labor and expense Paris
has got its drains it is becoming a question Of
much moment what it will do with them. In
Olden days the sewers of Paris not in
tended to carry what we mean by sewage. They

its course through and around the growing
city, would have deposited such sewage refuse

Marriage of Queen Wilhe1mina.

The marriage. of Queen Wilhelmina
to the Grand Duke of SAKE Weimar
took place Thursday. Elaborate
preparations have been made for the
long expected event. The scene of
the wedding ceremony was the stately
and historic Royal Cathedral. Hol-
lands youthful Queen is one of the
richest sovereigns of all Europe and
it is said she has settled on her hus-
band the sum of So, 900, 900, the income
of which is to be at his entire disposal.
The groom is the youngest son of
the late Frederick Francis H., Grand
Duke of Mecklenburg Schwerin.
Great Railroad Deal.
Another great railroad transaction
just effectedis the transfer Of the con-
troll of the Southern Pacific into the
hands of syndicate in which Union
Pacific interests predominant. The
transaction completes the last link
necessary for the establishment of a
trans continental railroad under a
single control This control is at
present vested in E. III. Hartman.
The new route includes the follow
ing lines, in all of which except the
Southern Pacific Mr.. Hartman is Off
cially connected: Starting at San
Francisco, running over the Central
Pacific end of the Southern Pacific
direct to Ogden, thence first over the
Chicago & Alton to Chicago, or Sec
ond, over the Union Pacific to Omaha
and thence over the Dubuque &
Sioux City branch of the Illinois
Central direct to Chicago, where the
Baltimore & Ohio connects direct
to the Atlantic seaboard.
The control of the Southern Pacific
just transferred, includes the large
holdings contr oiled by Speyer & Co.,
and also the Huntington holdings.

Senator Chandler raised a laugh by
saying, in reply to the claim of Sena-
tor Jones tnat the opponents of the
ship subsidy bill wanted time enough
to expose it's iniquity.: "The oppo-
nents of the bill have been allowed
to expose the iniquity of the bill and
their own iniquity along with it,"
Senator Spooner, who will retire
March 4th, makes positive denial of
the story that he will succeed Attor-
ney General Griggs in President
McKinley's cabinet. He says he ex-
poets to practice law. He ought to
know.
Senator Hanna is inclined to joke

gan stepped aside to allow Mr.. Hanna

Senator Hanna: 'same old rheumat-
ism. 1t seems to be getting a little
worse every day. Iguess it is politics

The difficulty of pleasing those who
refuse to be pleased is once more ex-
emplified by the present attitude of
those who have all along been criti-
cizing the president for usurping the
power properly belonging to congress,
in his insular policy, toward the pres
ident's desire that congress shall pass
upon the satisfactoriness of the Cuban
government that will be provided for
by the constitution now being fo rmu-
lated by the convention sitting in
Havana. President Mckinley holds,
and very properly, that congress
should pass upon this matter before
our military authority is withdrawn
from Cuba, and his critics, seemingly
just to be contrary, are contending
that he should assume the RESPONSE
bility of deciding the matter; but
their contention will make no differ
ence in the determination of President
Mckinley to submit the matter to
congress, and to ask congress to act
upon it. It is not likely that the Gu
ban constitution will be ready in time
to be submitted to the present session
of congress, and that is one of the
reasons why the opinion that an extra
session of congress will be absolutely
necessary regardless of what this ses-
sion may do or leave undone, is in
creasing every day in Washington.

electric railroad, which was granted a

It is said the outlook for the speedy

Drunken Row At Hartford.
Four Frenchmen from Lebanon, n.
H., called at the house of Joseph Tye
in Hartford village at about 10 O'Clock
Saturday evening, Feb. End, aroused
him and secured admission. They
were somewhat under the influence
of liquor, and proceeded to own the
place and engage in a general mixup.
They told Tye they had come to kill
him. Mrs. Tye went, in light wrap
per, to the house of neighbor, A.
Rushlow, Jr., for assistance. A gen.
eral enga cement followed and the
Frenchmen were finally elected.
Mrs. Rushlow followed her husband
to the Tye house and became terribly
frightened by the scenes and events
there and had to be assisted to her
home. She felt faint and sick and
lay down on a lounge. She suffered
severely from nausea and not getting
relief lay down on the floor hoping a
change of position would improve her
condition but died there in few
minutes.
Supreme Court Disposes of st. Johnsbury
Bucket Shop Case.
The Caledonia county case Of state
against Frank Corcoran of st. Johns
bury, for keeping bucket shop, came
up to be disposed of before the su-
preme court at Montpelier last week.
This case has attracted no little at
tention throughout the state because
Of its being in the nature of a test case.
The respondent was indicted last
June for keeping bucket shop in st.
Johnsbury. The New York concern
that employed him furnished bail in
the sum of $1,000, but last October
surrendered Corcoran, after he was
charged with embezzIement, and he
has since been in jail in st. Johnsbury
and Montpelier.
His council demurred to the indict
ment as insufficient. The opinion was
delivered by.Judge Munson and was
to the effect that there was no error
and that the respondent makes moth
ing by his exceptions. Through
Bates, May and Simonds, his counsel,
the respondent then asked leave to
replead and plead not guilty. This
request was granted and the case will
now be tried at the June term of Cal
edonia county court. Bail is still
$1,000 and Corcoran will probably be
obliged to remain in jail until June.

WASHINGTON LETTER.


Washington, d. c., Feb. 4th, 1901.
Probably not within the present CEN
tury will president of the United
States and his cabinet be called upon
to take part in two such notable events
so close together as the memorial SER
vice for Queen Victoria, whicn Presi
dent Mckinley and his Cabinet attend
ed Saturday, and joint congress ional
celebration of the centennial anniver-
sary Of the appointment of John Mar
shall, OF Virginia, to be Chief Justice
of the Supre me Court of the United
States, which they attended in the
hall Of house today. Time is precious
just now both with the president and
with congress, but time can never be
so precious that some of it cannot be
spared to do honor to the memory of
so distinguished an American as John
Marshall was.
The real fight in the senate over the
ship subsidy bill is now on in earnest.
The republican program, arranged by
the steering committee, is to keep the
bill before the senate until it is voted
opposition is determined enough to
prevent vote. Already the senate
is meeting an hour earlier, and this
week night sessions are to be forced.
The friends of the bill are confident
that the result will be the passage of
the bill.
The long delayed army reorganiza-
tion act became a law on Saturday,
and the president and secretary Of
war are now busy carrying out it's pro-
visions. 1t is expected that the NOM
nations of the high grade officers
provided for will be sent to the senate
this week by the president. That
Gen. Miles will be made Lieutenant
General is regarded as certain.
Senator Stewart, in a speech sup
porting the ship subsidy bill, said he
was on principle opposed to any mo-
nopoly of the sea, but if there must
be a monopoly of the sea he desired
it to be American.

ute to President Mckinley: ''I became

undertook, he did well, and the same
trait has characterized his work

does or says thing that is not prompt

science"
