Sent Roses to the Queen.

Among the last gifts received by her
majesty Queen Victoria last Christmas
was a box of magnificent Queen of Edgly
roses. sent to her by Mr.. Fuertsenberg
of Philadelphia. At an exhibition OF
the Horticultural society held three
years since. the queen inquired of vet
eran rose grower his opinion of English
roses. The American replied that they
were very pretty, but he preferred those
of the states, which are large and have
extremely long stems. Her majesty held
to the opinion in favor of the English
article. but expressed wish to see the
gorgeous American roses. Mr.. Fuers-
tenberg returned home and experimental
with the object of producing the finest
roses ever grown, and inventing some
method of preservation certain for at
least twelve days. After two years work

to the queen superb collection of pink
roses eight inches in diameter. These

Water Flowed Like Champagne.

speaking of diplomatists, reminds me
that Mrs. Hayes. who, as you remember,
was stanch teetotaler, argued with me
for an hour over the first dinner the
president was to give to the foreign
representatives. I tried to make her
see that it would be no sacrifice to prin-
ciple on her part to set wine on the
table but only the civilit we always
show to guests by recognizing their ways
of living at home.
"'I'm afraid she declared, that the
ministers will have to make up their
minds to be sociable with water
"And I shocked her dreadfully by an
swering: Mrs. Hayes. I have never
known people to be sociable with water
except in BATH. 2"
did Mrs. Hayes carry her point?' he
was asked.
Eyes. indeed" he responded, with a
dry chuckle. She had the dinner as she
wanted it. and the water flowed like
champagne"

Garter on Left Arm.

King Edward VII. has conferred the
Order of the Garter upon the new queen;
this fact rises peculiar question. The
conditions of the order require that
every one upon whom it has been con-
ferred must at all times carry some
where upon his or her person some of
the insignia. while at all formal and
court functions the garter itself must
be worn where it may be seen. All
knights of this order when in court
dress wear the garter with it's jeweled
clasp upon the left knee. Now that a
woman has been admitted to the order
an exception has been made in her favor.
and Queen Alexandria will wear the
decoration upon her left arm. The Order
of the Garter is not an order of merit.
and is conferred only upon royalties and
people of the very highest rank regard

MOSQUITO AND YELLOW FETER.
Conclusive Proof That the Former
 Proposates the Disease.

Havana, Jan 9.--The American com mission, under the superintendence of Dr. Reed, which has been making ex- periments at Quemados as to the propa- gation of the yellow fever germs by the mosquito, has obtained extremely satis- factory results
 Dr. Reed said the experiments show beyond a doubt that there Is no con- tagion from an infected person or from Infected clothing, but that the mos quitoes alone are responsible for the spread of the disease. It the course of the commissions Investigations six non immune persons were infected direct by the bite of mosquitoes which had pre- viously bitten yellow fever patients and five of these developed yellow fever.
 The last experiment made proved conclusively, Dr. Reed contends, the theory of propagation by mosquitoes. A special building was constructed of disinfected material and one of the rooms was divided into two sections by a wire mosquito screen. In one sec tion were placed disinfected bedding and clothing and in the other bedding and clothing from the yellow fever hos pital which had not been dislnfected.
 Two non-immunes occupied the two sections. In the former were put sev- eral infected mosquitoes The patient remained in this room only long enough to be bitten, and in four days a pro- nounced case of yellow fever devel- oped. The patient is now convalescent. The other subject slept in the infected bedding for many nights and has not contracted the fever Both patients have been sleeping for twenty nights in garments worn by yellow fever vic- tins and in bedding from the yellow fever hospital.
 Dr. Reed says they are growing fat and that in no instance in the course of the commissions investigations, has a case of yellow fever developed from exposure to infected bedding or cloth ing.

RITER AND HARBOR BILL.
Little Progress With It Made in tho
 House.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The house to- day considered the river ayd harbor appropriation bill. Little progress was made. In bill carrying such a vast sum for local improvements many are bound to be disappointed, and there is considerable soreness among the mem bers who fail to get what they want. This soreness outcropped in several places to-day, the disappointed mem- bers refusing to allow any limit to be placed on the general debate. It ex- tended throughout the day. being seem ingly no nearer conclusion at adjourn ment than when 1t started. MT. Bur ton. chairman of the committee on riv- CTS and harbors, who is in charge of the bill, made an elaborate explanation of it's provisions. Several western mem bers assailed it for not containing pro- vision for irrigating reservoirs, and MT. Coriss of Michigan attacked 1t for not giving proper recognition to the Great Lakes deep waterway project.

Almost Riot in Waterbury-Hartford
 Defeated.

Waterbury, Jan. 9.-The only feature worthy of mention in to-night's game was a mix-up between Russel and Do- herty, which almost resulted in a riot.

TO SHORTEN THE JOURNEY
FASTER TIME ETWEEN THE IT.
 LANTIC AND THE PACIFIC.
One of the Plans of President Hill of the Great NOrthern-An Alternate Route from Vancouver to New York Clipping Eighteen Hours or the Canadian Pacifc's Time.

New York, Jan. 9.-President James
 J. Hill, of the Great Northern road, was again to-day the central figure in Wall
 street
 It is said cn good authority that
 among MT. Hills plans said to be put into execution is one for materially
 shortening the trans-continental jour-
 ney. Passengers arriving at Victoria
 from the Orient and now naturally talk
 ing the Canadian Pacific in going to
 New York will before long have the choice of an alternate route arranged
 by MT. Hill and made ID of the Great Northern, the St, Paul and the Penn aylvania railroad, by taking which route they will be enabled to reach New York eighteen hours sooner than by the Canadian Pacific.
 Mr. Hill in an interview to-day said
 My plans have been greatly exagger- been published about what I intend to do.'
 Said MT. Hill: q do not contemplate any great deal such as has been attrib- uted to me. One of the main objects of my trip is to consult with the con- tractors who are building two steam- ships at New London for my line. We need large fleet for our lake traffic, as it is growing very rapidly, and we are having two splendid vessels con structed I am trying to bring about agreements between the w\stern roads which will prevent friction and make the operation of the lines more economi- cal. In other words an understanding by which they may save money. l want to produce harmony among them and stop friction. The less friction there is among railroads the better it will be for all of us.
 q am a believer in railroad consoli- dation when it is advantageous. It is the inevitable policy of the roads sooner or later. Railroads just like all other lines of business, should be run as economical as possible. However my plans have been so greatly misrepre- scented that have made up my mind that silence is the best policy"
 It is reported that the Rockefeller in- terests are trying to buy Missouri Pa cific and the Wabash railroads. If they succeed in obtaining these roads it is said that they will unite them with the Kansas and Texas railroad, thus obtaining a trunk line extending all the way from Galveston to Buffalo and connecting with other lake towns like Detroit, Toledo and Chicago,
