TRANscoNTINETAL RAILWAY.
Eureka and Eastern Will Have Nc
 Snow Sheds-Great System.

Chicago, March 1.-What amounts to new trans-continental railway is to be constructed at once. The Pacific terminal is Eureka, Cal, and 800 miles of steel will lead thence eastward into Idaho to con- meet with the Northern Pacific and Great Northern and Into Nevada to connect with the Union Pacific.
 The Eureka and Eastern, the new roads title, will have no snow sheds, Its highest pass being 5000 feet. It will pierce the Redwood country and mining region At Reading, 160 miles inland. 1t crosses the Southern Pacific, and at Weiser, Ida ho, the Oregon Short Line. From Fall River Mills, a branch runs southeast to Wadsworth. Nev. To the south Is the Union Pacific. J. J. Hill is building down to Weiser from the Northern Pacific
 The directors are: G. H. Proctor, Henry R. Twombley, Robert Gibson and Will liam R. O. Wilson. The real parties in interest besides Lord Thurlow and MT. Proctor are presumably the Rockefellers and J. J. Hill.

 Gen. James H. Wilson, at the dinner of the Delaware Society on Thursday even- ing, told an anecdote of Lii Hung Chang illustrative of the dignity of the Chinese statesman.
 In the negotiations carried or with the representatives of the foreign powers while the Chinese court was in flight, the Western representatives asked "Who is the Chinese government?'

To Check Senatorial Encroachment.

Six States have petitioned for conven- ton to consider the question of amending the constitution by providing for the cleo tion of Senators by a direct vote of the people. Never will two-thirds of the Sen ators vote for the submission of such an amendment to the States. but if two thirds of the States unite in a call for convention one has to be held. In this way a change in the method of electing Senators may be brought about. There Is no doubt that the often discussed change should be made. One reason Is that 2opu- lar election of Senators may do something to check the encroachments of the Senate. That branch of Congress is invading the prerogatives of the popular branch and Of the executive department. All real power is being gradually absorbed by the Sen ate. This is grave evil which should be checked. If the election of Senators by the popular vote shall not check it, then 1t may be necessary, In order to prevent the reduction of the House of Representa- tives to the status of a mere Senatorial appendix and to preserve the rights of the President, so to amend the constitution as to provide that no person shall be eligible for two consecutive Senatorial terms, or for more than two terms. Such a restric- tion as this would tend to check the abuse of patronage to promote senatorial re- for senatorial aggression on executive pow

Character Reading by New Method

 And still they come. Linguistology IS the last craze in Paris. If one prefers to call 1t glossomancy. well and good. nder either name it means tongue reading and 1t threatens to compete with palmistry.
 That a tongue may tell the character of the owner is a safe proposition. A tongue may, even to expert eyes. tell the condi- tion of the owners liver and from such data many conclusions may be reached. Given the state of a mans liver, history and prophecy both seem possible to even the average logicisn.
 But linguistology has to do only with the shape and form of the tongue. A big tongue, it seems indicates frankness; a short tongue, dissimulation: a long and broad tongue. garrulity and generosity a narrow tongue. concentration and tal- ent; a short, broad tongue garrulity and untruth The man with a very short and narrow tongue is a liar of true artistic merit.

Miss Johnstons
 New Book Audrey

Many writers attempt description because 1t is easy to do passably though so diff hcult to do well. And Steveson Is not more remarkable for the power Of his short descriptive touches woven into his narrative than is Miss Johnston. The pie lorial quality of the opening scenes of Audrey" which describe the inmates of the little cabin in the valley and the arrival of one gay company is of the finest quality. And the subsequent introduction of "Darden's Audrey on May Day in 1727. is almost as good. There are num- erous shorter descriptions, so beautiful and graceful and odorous of the leafy woodlands that they will not fail to at- tract even the most careless and jaded reader. But, zp interwoven with the tex ture of the story that they would lose all their subtle sweetness and perfume if detached.
 In the May Day race of 1727 young Au- drey stands ready for the race-barefoot and full of natural beauty and grace she looks every inch the dryad of the forest. Upon this same occasion we first meet Mistress Evelyn Byrd and between them stards MT. Marmaduke Howard and thereby hangs a tale full of human inter- est and human love and passion Two characters more dissimilar could not have been produced by mortal brain. In Evelyn Byrd, Miss Johnston has given us char acter upon which she surely bestowed her own sympathetic admiration and love. She easily stands supreme in the story and though the real historic Evelyn Bird | has slept for a century and a half be- heath the cool shades of Westover, she lives once more in the pages of "Au- | drey" and treads with the same beauteous | grace the picturesque minnet.
 About her name there clings a roman tic mystery-and there are whispers that tell of a broken heart. This sorrowful romance Miss Johnston seeks to reveal. She has beauty wealth and position and reigns with equal grace at the court of George II or in the midst of her own lit- tie admiring court in old Colonial Vir- ginia. She is noble and true and upon her Miss Johnston, has believe all un- knowingly, bestowed her very best work. For. the portrayal of Evelyn Byrd, so beautiful and charming, so loving and true. yet withal patient and self sustained Is nothing short of genius. Readers of Audrey" will carry with them always the beautiful picture of Evelyn Byrd. With Marmaduke Howard some may be impatient with his coldness while others will surely sym pathize with his weaknesses and his frailities in his great love for Audrey. Of Audrey herself il Is difficult to write. one must know her to understand her at all. She is unique fir her way and she Is as alluring to the reader as she is to poor Howard. An alto gether charming creation and yet in her portrayal in my opinion lies the one flaw of the story.
 Upon the unity of a story much de- bends. but upon the unity of a charac ter even more is at stake As the author conceives them in the first chapter the reader expects them to be. Of course there

Miss Johnston's style is as ready and fluent as Is the babbling brooks Of her own Virginia mountains, and her diction, so choice and exquisite, gives to her work the rarest distinction. The interest in the story is well sustained. The plot is struc- tural and consistent, and the unity pro served a mark of the authors genius. There is no break in the unfolding of the story until the scene Is reached be- tween Howard and Audrey at the home of Evelyn Byrd It Is dangerous climax in the artistic development of the plot. Of the close of the story there can be no question. Audrey's death Is a finale Of consummate art. And ''art for arts sake. must suffice for the reader that the tech nical exigencies of that art demanded it. The serious minded reader might justly add that Howard should have died with Audrey, while the fiippantly inclined may vaguely wonder why he didn't then marry the beautiful Evelyn Byrd The illustra- tions in no way add to the book. for Miss Johnston's beautiful text does not need them.

must be growth and development, great conception and broad treatment. And so it is a source of regret that Audrey, the ''rittle maid" of the shadowy forest that all must grow to love should ever have come to so ineongruous an end as theatrical career. It seems but poor shattering of all the dewy freshness or her young life. There are many interest ing characters in the story whose real worth are only overshadowed by the more important ones. Angus MacLean" the Scotchman, is one of the very best and Miss Johnston skethes his truly splendid portrayal in masterly strokes.
 They all serve a charming purpose In the story. Interesting in themselves they add to a picture that is captivating in every detail.

Alleged Attempt at Assault.

Walter Daniels of s1S 14th street north
east called on the police of the ninth pre-
cinct yesterday and informed them that an
attempt had been made to criminally as
saut his wife Saturday forenoon at his
home, by a young man who called upon
his wife and represented himself to be
reporter. Mrs. Daniels is a midwife, who is
known as Mrs. Powalky. She was recently
arrested for throwing the dead body of an
infant on lot in Northeast Washington
She forfeited $15 collateral for the violation
of the health regulations.
The young man, who called on her Satur-
day and introduced himself reporter
pretended he was interested in the case and
informed the woman that she had been
dealt with too severely by the police in the
matter. 1t is alleged that he attempted to
assault her. but was frightened. off by the
appearance of a colored woman. Mrs.
Daniels told her husband of the affair and
he reported the matter to the police. De-
tectives Helan and McNamee investigated
the affair and obtained from Mrs. Daniels a
good description of her alleged assailant
The woman told the detectives that he in
formed her he was a friend of Detective
