statement in q number of particulars.
The railways will pay Si.000.O0O more
under this bill for the elimination OF
grade crossings than they would under
present legislation. In addition TO all tnas,
they will pay for the union station
THE District aud the United States VIII
not pay anything for what the railways
are to receive. They will improve the
surrounding streets. but this does not
benefit the railways"
Scandals in Franchise Giving.
Mr. Patterson said that the great scan
dals of the last century were those be-
tween the municipalities and the street
and steam railways. He alluded to
newspaper story published the other day
in which the statement was made that
vast sums of money had changed hands
in St. Louis between the street railways
and the municipal council.
Mr. Tillman suggested to him that Mr..
John wanamaker two years ago offered
to give s., 900, OOe in cash for a street rail-
way franchise. which had been given to
a Philadelphia company for nothing.
Mr. Patterson declared that Congress
should build the union station and the
elevated and depressed tracks itself. and
force the railways to pay a rental for
them. II this were not done he said that
the District and the United States Gov
eminent should pay no more than fair
proportionate amount of the expense of
eliminating grade crossings. He asserted
that the bill purposes much more than
this.
Mr. Patterson closed by reiterating his
assertion that his amendment should be
adopted to prevent the granting of per-
petual monopoly.
Bill to Be Taken Up Again Today.
The bill was then laid aside. 1t will be
taken up today during the morning hour
in all probability. Its friends do not ex-
press any fear that the attack of Mr.. Pat
terson will have any effect.
The amendment proposed by him is not
acceptable to the railways, and it is caid
that they would not care to build the
union station IL II were adopted.
There has been some misunderstanding
as to the form Of the bill. The general I'm
preston is that it directs" the rail-
ways to build the station. As q matter OF
TACT, it simply authorizes" them to do so.

He couldn't keep a trace of grin out
of the corners of his mouth, for all he
tried to look very serious. l don't
mean to say that he wasn't partly in
earnest about not wishing to betray
what he had learned, yet he dearly
loved a joke. and it didn't make it

Pete said he'd go-just as lief's not;
that's what 1 expected. Sam, however,
bucked some. He said he thought the

CHAPTER V.

Cha "
The three of us rolled in that night
,ttbout chance to talk things over,
.'sisss we deliberately drew aside to do
- which might have looked queer to
che people who saved us.
Put. Of course, we were fairly burst
,.u with curiosity, and the next day
a. argued it up one side and down the
.+5er-to arrive just where we started
from.
The flibuster idea was supported by
he fact that there were weapons in
REV in the cabin of the schooner, and
..veral long boxes, which might or
night not contain rifles. The crew, you

Never saw two less warlike-looking
men than they. Still, as Pete said, one

But they all refused to rise to the

I'd be willing to bet we've left the Gem
of the Antilles behind us"
Then that settles the flly- busting"
said Pete. "Now, Sam, I'll tell you
what you do; you go up to the old man
Perkins and tell him you'll take him by
one hind leg and chuck him over the
mainmast if he don't give you his ped
igree and plans on the spot"
The idea of treating Capt. Perkins in
that fashion wound all the trouble up
in a laugh. Still Sam felt a bit huffy,
so he walked off.
II want to tell you something, Jack"
said Pete. There's just one thing about

to say anything before Sam. My dad

time when 1 was a kid, and 1 picked

he, finally. II can't do that. Evidently
Capt Perkins doesn't want you to
