with respect to the traffic arrange
ments of the San Pedro, Salt Lake and
Los Angeles Railroad and the Southern

relations have been of the most har-
monious character. A disagreement be-

specttve roads. concerashg interchange
of business in Southern. California will
be considered in New York very soon
by the executive committee and 1 am
confident it will be satisfactorily ad-
justed."
Senator Clark makes vigorous de-
NAL of certain statements that have
been published in regard to him. as fol-
lows:
"First-The discovery that 1 have
been tricked in any manner.
"Second-The declaration on my part
of fight to the bitter end.
"Third-Disa greement as to the con-
struction of branch roads.
Fourth = Stipulations that would
prevent either party from buildin &
branches south of Salt Lake.
The general policy agreed upon is to
build branches whenever permanent
business will warrant it.
The statement that 1 had Joined
forces with other parties to build a
branch line from Las Vegas to Tcnopah,
and that the Hartman interests were
credited with having secured control of
the stock of the new road and also con-
troll of the Salt Lake terminus, which
would probably result in my retire
ment, is absolutely false.

hushed one The women hitChed back
step by step to the group of men, and all
listened alertly, holding the breath; but
no sound came from behind the barrier
of the dark ell.
The tense situation was relieved at last.
Down the hill came trotting the pastor,
and at the same time the dim form of
Lovekin was seen toiling up the pasture
slope once more. There was strange eX-
citement in the ministers face. His eyes
glinted. His cheeks were ruddy.
How many of you are brave enough
to follow your pastor?" he cried.
Where tor" demanded Deacon Hob
hey choldngly
ITO the haunt of the witch that con-
trolls Vets Lovekin!" The minister was
scruffing his mittened hands together and
fairly dancing about in his stress of feel
ing. On the ridge they again saw the
weird figure appear from behind the scrub
pine. Then it lunged out of sight down
the other side of the hill.
Il have been called a coward tonight,
and l cannot forget it," said the pastor.
But now We'll see who are the real
towards in this parish and who shirk

kin has straight up and down owned to
me that he is the servant of a witch, and
he is going to meet her now. Let those
who are not towards follow mel" With
the words he was away up the slope
calling to them to Come onl" and
fourishing his arms like an officer COM
handing a charge.
Uncle Briggs was the first to start,
muttering his admiration for the minister.
Then Buker grabbed his wifes arm and
went numbering up. The others strung
along, and the deacon was left alone for
moment. But with shudder and look
behind him into the dark bushes, he
posted after the procession.
The way led over the rise and down
into the birch growth, along a smooth
wood-road. The white bark cleaned
spookishly to right and left, and lone
some owl hooted away off toward the
Marston bog. Once or twice, long way
ahead, they caught glimpse of the
inseck" striding along vigorously.
The wood-road was the well-known
cutoff, or short way, to the South
Palermo pike, and the pursuing band
kept bordering with gloomy misgiving
that they undoubtedly would be led
away from this lane and off into the deep
growth pretty soon. But no one dared
to be the first to halt or go back alone.
They were not led into the deep growth,
however. On the contrary, they swung
and came out into the pike opposite the
big house of Widow Esther Hollis, and
then straight up to the door they tramped
on the heels of their trotting pastor
He paid no heed to their gasping and
painting questions; but opened the front
door and walked right in, his retinue
tumbling blinkingly on his heels.
There in the center of the spacious fore
room stood Widow Hollis, and beside her
was Vets Lovekin, trig in his blue coat,
his sun-browned face radiant, his eyes
twinkling. The widows cheeks were red

DIPLOMACY DEFINED

MILL you give good definition of
w diplomacy" asked a reporter of
Emilio de Ojeda, Spanish Minister to the
United States.
Certainly; but instead l will give you an
illustration" replied the diplomat.
There was a certain tenant farmer who
in great distress of mind waited upon his
landlord one morning.
6" have bad news to report to YOU he said.
The landlord who was reading his news
paper looked up with a frown.
Bad newsH returned he. Bad news of
what sort?'
The tenant, twisting his rather dusty cap
nervously in his huge hands, said
A terrible sort, sir, he said. Your big
black bull and my black bull got to fighting
this morning, and my black bull gored yours
to death. =.
al will hold you responsible!' replied the
landlord excitedly.
60 But wait a moment, returned the tenant.
You can't say that l am to blame. The two
bulls got together, and they fought and one
was killed. That is all there is to it. How
am l to blame?'
g. AS justice of the peace said the land
lord rehectively, i know the law, and it says
in plain terms that the owner of dangerous
animals are responsible for the damage they
do. Now your bull killed mine, so you must
make good the loss to me. That is the law
''All right l will stand by the law said
the tenant in true diplomatic style; but l
was guilty of making slight mistake when +
said that my bull killed yours. 1t was yours
that killed mine ,"

HIS IDEA OF A DINNER

COLONEL JOHN S. FLAHERTY of the
" Majestic Theater, New-YorE, was speak
ing of a manager who is noted for spending
money literally on his productions, but who
does not always spend the money with adj
vantage to himself and his audiences.
ooh, he spends enough money" said the
Colonel; "but he does not always get salts
factory results. He is one of these fellows
who, if he had two three friends for dinner
and wanted to show them great honor, would
order hundred dollars worth of ham and
eggs"

tanned a garnder for mascot instead ST
havin' yaller dog tag at my heels like
the most of the old loafers in Palermo?"
He walked along the row of them,
shaking his finger under their noses.
"I'm idolator, hey, because l have
kept the old gilt fggerhead of the Nancy
Emma for a keepsake? I'm a trans
mogrifed inseck, am l, because l come
over here and don't tell the whole town
I'm courtin the best woman in it, and
because | tug my bull fiddle acrost here
on my back to play duets with her parlor
organ?"
He strobe to corner of the room,
and standing the huge viol in front of
him began to rosin the bow, glancing
quizzically from face to face.
You've got eleven old maids and FIVE
widders still left in this town." he con-
tinued, "and if you keep discouragin'
in-comin' single-hitch settlers in this
fashion you'll never get 'em married off. "
He cast meaning looks on the spinsters
in the witch-hunting party. Now that
your curiosity is all satisfied and you're
scratched where you itched worst, don't
you all feel like dog gone fools? And f
you caught chilblains and rheumatism in
this parade tonight, are you goin' to
lay it to me bewitchin' your"
But they were in no humor to echo
his laugh. They moved toward the door,
the deacon ahead. House-warmin' a
week from tonight" called Lovekin
Candy, peanuts, music by me and the
witch and a dance in the barn!" The
parson had pulled off his mitten to de-
lightedly shake the hand that Lovelin
outstretched, and gave back the wink.
Elder said the groom, "as you
travel along home, won't you give EN-
the lecture that l amt got the language
to hand out? And wind up with
funeral sermon on Cotton Mather. They
amt heard that he's dead yeti"
AS the witch-hunters went out of the
yard they heard 'Ump-oomp,' bull fiddle;
''Too-doo-loo," parlor organ, blending in
the soothing strains of Home, Sweet
Home"
And with that for obligato, the little
minister began his lecture:
Brethren and sisters, l trust that

JAPs CHASING THE
RUSSIAN VESSELS.

London, May 29.-Up to noon to-day
the foreign Office was still without
news of the naval battle from any
British source in the Far East. The
japanese legation was similarly with
out news from its government.
Reports are current on the stock
exchange purporting to be from au-
lucrative private sources, that Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's flagship (Kniaz
Souvaroff) was among the vessels
sunk, and that the Japanese are fol-
lowing up the Russians and picking
of their ships one by one.
Operators on the stock exchange
were cheerful over the far eastern
news, hoping that the battle might
prove decisive and lead to peace.
Consols went up sic and Japanese
bonds rose from to 31s points. In
Russias no business was transacted.
Nominally prices were unchanged.
Americans were 1 to 115 points over
parity. Orders from Paris forced the
prices higher
The failure was announced of the
Economic bank on Bishops Gate street,
small concern of no importance
whatever.
