According to trustwortny reports President Hill of the Great Nortn. err road has sworn that MT: RooseveI' shall not be nominated. MT.

Roosevelt, but the latter would not permit 1t.
 MT. Morgan was displeas d when the merger suit was brought For day or two he was more, than displeased. He was furious. Then he cooled down, and his former liking for MT. Roosevelt tempered his acerbity. Like many Re- publican Senators, Mir. Morgan is said to be waiting to see what the man in the White House does next.
 Can President Roosevelt afford to at tack the steel trust through the tariff? It means making an enemy, puissant, impiacable enemy, of the man who now bestrides two continents and the waters between them.
 That the trust question and the amr- ated tariff question are coming to the front in the public mind is the testimony of a great many Senators and Repre- sentatives who hear from their constit- |uents A Western Representative who has just returned from his district. where he made his renomination sure. said to The R ,cord- erald correspondent:
 "In my part of the country the people are talking about one subject-the trusts and the tariff. The women ana children are talking it. and I am afraid we are going to have an 1890 campaign over again My people care nothing about this Philippine howl. They stand Dy the army They say our soldiers are doing the best they can in hard job, and that is enough. But they are tired of high, prices. They believe the trusts or all kinds Dig and little, are making too much money. The cost of living scares them. They want the trusts hit by pros- cautions in court, by tariffs, in every way that is open.

One of the finest and most expressive eulogies of General Hampton that we have seen in any paper is embraced in this hief paragraph in The Portland Oregonian:
 Of all this it may be said that Gen. eral Hampton died as he had lived, a true gentleman. q man of courage, humanity and humility. a man of the sort that Thackeray would have loved to paint as he painted Colonel Thomas Newcome or Colonel Henry Esmond.
 In his "In Nemoram" Tennyson says:
 And thus he bore without abuse
 The grand old name of gentleman. and no higher praise could be bestowed on a man than to call him "a gentleman of the old school. That was what Wade Hampton was and it means much.

across the tracks Of the railway. Shortly
after 5 o'clock Mrs. Cochrane, with a team
Of horses, started on a drive into the
country. She passed close to the track in
her carriage and saw the big tree lying
across the rails. Suddenly the thought
struck her that the Ukiah express was
about due. She looked at her watch and II
read $40 o'clock. A feeling of dread passed
over her as she realized that the quick
moving train with its long string Of pas
senger cars was due at Sis.
Hurriedly jumping from her carriage she
ran down the track, hoping to flag the
train. Then the full peril Of the situation
dawned upon her. The tree had fallen Just
at the end Of a curve which wound itself
about a tall hill. At the beginning Of the
curve the track emerged from a unne and
1t was evident that the engineer in his cab
would not be aware Of his danger until he
was right upon it. Mrs. Cochrane confesses
that she grew sick with fear and the
thought came to her that the engineer,
emerging suddenly from the tunnel, would
not understand her signals until too late.
Then she remembered the telephone. and,
turning back, ran over the rough ground
toward her house, where a line was in
stalled. Once she stumbled, but the dis

utes she was ringing for the railway depot.
Train Dispatcher Force answered her
message. All that he heard was tree
across track near the tunnel; hurry; hurry;
a train is coming" Outside the station
G. E. Gillbride, the baggage master. who
is an expert bicycle rider, was standing.
Force called to him the message and with
a jump Gillbride had seized his bicycle and
was OF. Force threw him a signal flag as
he started and yelled a string of orders
after him as he spurted down the street.
The distance was only about a mile and the
bicyclist rode like the wind. After he had
gone a block he heard the shrill whistle of
the coming train as It approached the
tunnel. It was a race of man against train,
with a hundred lives depending on the
result. Gillbride reached the fallen tree,
/ jumped from his bicycle. ran down the
track, away to the mouth of the tunnel,
and as the engine emerged from darkness
flashed his red signal flag before the
I startled engineer. The whistles screamed
brakes down" and with the engine SILVER
ing with the exertion the train came to a
stop with the nose of the locomotives cow
catcher scarcely two feet from the fallen
tree. Engineer Lewis, his face white from
! the peril. jumped from the cab and hurried
to the signal man.
"It was a close shave" he gasped, and
as the questioning passengers and Con-
ductor Crane pressed around him he could
only repeat: ut was a close shave, a close
shave"
Pretty soon a half-hysterical woman came
down the track. 1t was Mrs. Cochrane, and
she told of the finding of the danger. The
crew and passengers thanked her over and
ever again and the incident was closed.
