To Fight the scalpers.


 The New Orleans Picayune says:
 The conference of exchanges to be held Tuesday afternoon with the passenger chiefs of the lines entering New Orleans, is assured, of almost national attention. The subject to be considered-the advi- stability of suppressing sealping and, the best methods of achieving this result. is one which is foremost In the railroad mind. and Tuesday will see as plan a statement of the case against the scslpers as it is possible to make out,
 The conference will be as interesting as important. To begin with. the Railroads will. beyond all doubt, be asked to state definitely what concessions in rates they would be willing to guarantee in the event Of the passage of an anti-scalpng law. The business community feels that if 1t Etts out. takes of it's, coat. so to speak. and aud puts such a bill through, that It is entitled to more than generaii- ties when it comes to tho matter of benefits to accrue to the community. This will likely bc tho most accented feature of the conference.
 Colonel Morse will lead tho debate from the railroad standpoint This may be conceded in advance. . He has made a close study of the scaIper and his methods, and he will come to the con ference loaded for bear. Colonel Moore will arrive not only fortified with figures. butt equipped with his usual eloquence and persuasiveness. That the confer ence will be well worth attending goes without the saying. It will be held in the directors room of the Board of Trade. Increase in Exports at Pensacola.
 A dispatch from Pensacola says:
 The steady and rapid increase in ex- ports through this port has made it necessary, for the Louisville and Nash vile Road to lay their tracks between the freight depot and export wharves of heavier rails. and the work of replac- ing the old tracks with new s0-pound steel rails was begun yesterday.
 As soon as the 25,ooo tons of new steel rails bought in Germany by the Louis vile and Nashville Road, because of American mills being unable to All their order, arrive here. which will be at an early date. the tracks will all be relaid with the new so-pound rais all the way between this city and Montgomery. The increase in exports is emphasized by the fact that there were nine large steamships at the wharves of the Louis ville and Nashville Road taking on and dscharging cargo, in addition to which | 400 baymen were at work in the stream | loading timber into other vessels.

terest. The case involves the title TO
large amount of money claimed by the
Catholic church of Lower California, TO
be held for it by the government OF
Mexico. 1t was due largely 10 the
senator's efforts that the claim was
submitted to the arbitration of the
distinguished tribunal now engaged on

Stewart, since the sale OF their old
home on Dupont circle, known as

Montana. and its subsequent destruc-
ton. had lived in the winter time in
an old-fashioned residence on F street

had established a large dairy farm,
which he ran on scientific and sanitary
principles. or late years they have not
