The u S. s. Atlanta. now in Dominican
waters. is soon to be relieved and brought
home. Rear Admiral Coghlan intended to
touch at San Domingo with his whole
squadron. but this idea has been aban-
doned and instead he has been instructed
to send only one of his ships to San Domin-
go, where in due course she will relieve
the Atlanta. If the revolutionary con-
ditions on the island continue to be as
threatening as they at present the
Atlanta will be detained on her present
station for time even after the arrival of
her relief ship.

HOW MAN BEARS TROUBLE.

There never was saying that
shot so far from the mark a. that
one which instructs people to hear
it like man" You have seen how
a man bears tooth ache, or a head
ache, or fever, or any other i'll TO
which mortal flesh is heir. He gen.
orally groans, or howl~, or swears,
or losses, or kicks the foot-hoard off
the bed, or tramps up and down
until he nearly succeeds in giving
other people nervous prostration, or
wants his medicine before the time,
or will not take it when it is brought
him-and this is how man or
most of them) bears it, and we are
told TO emulate them.-Mexican

MINORITY REPORT IS FILED
Democrats Say the Littlefieid Trust Bill Is the Better of the Two and That the Elkins Measure Is
 Merely an Excuse.

Washington, February 12-The report of the Elkins rebate bill, ordered favor ably reported by the house committee on interstate commerce yesterday was filed in the house today by MT. Mann of llli- nols
 After the extensive hearings before your committee upon the general subject of proposed amendments to the interstate commerce law" the report recites, it was strongly urged by the members of the interstate commerce commissions that the provisions of existing law pro- viding for punishment of the officers and agents of railroads, but not for punish ment of the railroad itself prevented the enforcement of the law forbidding re bates and discrimlnations. The experience of the interstate commerce commission has been that 1t is impossible to obtain proof of the granting of a rebate by the officer of a railroad to some favored shipper unless the officer himself gives tho evidence in which case he is free from prosecution"
 Continuing the report says: "The ex- sting law prohibits rebates and discrim- nations, but does not prevent the cut ting of published rates unless discrimina- tlons is shown. In most cases it is prae- tieally impossible to show the discriml- nation.
