A Walters Walk.

Some interesting particulars are
given as to the ground covered by a
waiter in dancing attendance upon
the guests in a restaurant in Chris
tiania, says the Westminster Gazette.
The waiter had provided himself with
a pedometer before starting his work
According to his calculations, he took
rather under 100000 steps, covering
somu thirty-seven miles, between 8
a. m. and 1890 p. m. Working (and
walking) four days a week, he cal
culated that he covered more than
1000 miles in year. Which would
seem to show that Swedish walters
take their work very seriously; I'M

Leaders Had Many Tricks to Arouse
Public Interest

Public Interest.
Louis A. julien was the first con-
ductor who played a large orchestra
In New York. One of his pieces was
"Flreman's Quadrille," during the
performance of which an alarm of
fire was regularly sounded and a bri-
gade OF firemen appeared in the hall.
Theodore Thomas was one of Julien's
vloiinlsts for a time and this may
help TO explain why he himself, iN
1861 when he gave his Terrace gar
den concerts in New York, once Gre
ated sensation by making the pic
colo players climb up into the trees
before the piece began.
On another occasion iu the Same

hind the audience into the shrubbery.
When he began to play the police
mistook him for a practical joker
who was disturbing the music and
tried to arrest him.

policeman, and trying to get in a note

WASHINGTON THURSDAY
A GALLANT ACHIEVEMENT.

The American Army and Navy has
again distinguished themselves in a
characteristic way. which must add
greatly to their prestige in the Far
East A force Of soldiers and blue
jackets with a detachment Of the Ma
tive Constabulary stormed a hostile
Moro fortress of the most difficult de-
scriptiOn in the crater of Mount DaJo.
on the Island of Jolo, and after a
bloody fight completely overcame the
enemy, killing 600 of the worst char
acters in the Archipelago. All the des-
perate and intractable men i'm the
Islands, who had been giving trouble
to the authorities everywhere, were at
last concentrated in one band. which
established itself in a seemingly i'm
pregnable position in the crater of
Mount Dajo. From there bands would
sally out to rob. plumber and murder
peaceful aud law-abiding Filipinos 1t
was this kind of thing which had
forever tormented the Spaniards. who
lacked the enterprise to follow the
desperadoes to their stronghold and
whip them there. A different class of
men was encountered in the Ameri-
cans. Mount Dajo is 2.100 feet high,
with its slopes covered with ridges OF
lava and heavy timber growing wher-
ever the rich volcanic soil affords suit
able opportunities. The last 500 feet
of the mountain reaching to the crest
Is scoria and lava from the volcano
and forms a steep incline Of fully so
degrees. 1t was determined by Maj
Gen. Wood that nothing short of ex-
tirpation Of these desperadoes would
suffice. and Col. Joseph w. Duncan,
9Th U. s., was sent against them with
a portion Of his regiment. the 2sth
Field Battery. the crew of the gum
boat Pampanga and a small force of
the Native Constabulary. The noun
tain crest was surrounded. and the
troops fought forward over all these
difficulties from the afternoon OF
March 8. In spite of the fiercest re-
sistanr0 Of the cornered desperadoes
the t:'ocps worked their way forward
gallartly and persistently. 1t was nee
essary to bring the guns up the cliff
by block -ana-tackle. Finally, by the
morning Of March 8, after two days
Of fighting. the troops were lined
around tina rim of the crater and had
penetrated IN several places the enc
my's lip4 Of works. When resistance
finally ceased 600 of the Moros were
fn.nd to be dead. The rest threw
down their arms and surrendered. Our
loss was Is enlisted men killed and 80
wounded, with three Of the Constabu
larry killed and 13 wounded. Every
one behaved with the greatest gal
lantry and persistence. and the result
must be an overwhelming influence for
good in demonstrating to the Islanders
that no matter how bad men may be
and how desperate, they will be fol-
lowed to the end by men who are
drawer and more determined and forced
to submit or die. This probably makes
an end to the fighting in the Philip
pines. 1t is a lesson that the bad men
there have never yet had taught them.
and they were encouraged by their
previous successes with the Spaniards
to believe that they could go on in
definitely, maintaining the same guer-
rilla warfare that had been the habit
of the country for 400 years. This
signal victory dispels that idea from
eyeryone'S mind.

TFfD FwO-CEyT-A-MlLl8 RAILROAD
RATE IN NEW ENGLAND.

President MeIlen has established 4
twO-cent- a mile rate for the regular
fare on the Berkshire Division Of the
New Haven System Of railroads. and
1t is expected that this will he extend
ed to all branches Of the system. which
has approximately 1900 miles Of track
This is not the result OF restrictive leg
islation. but Il conviction Of policy. In
1886 q two-cent rate was established
tween Springfield and New York. and
is was confidently predicted that il
the passenger receipts for the year.
Instead those receipts showed a gain
of 100000. A feature of this reduction
will be the benefit that will accrue to
the branch lines. Heretofore the main
lines have enjoyed the benefit of lower
rates and increased business. but now
the branches are to have their turn.
For example. the Litchfield Branch, b
miles long. has been charging four
cents a mile, which will now be cut in
two. The action of the New Haven
Road will probably be followed by all
the other New England roads. espe-
cially in the more densely populated
sections.

LABOR IN THE ZONE.

so much has been said relative to
the ill-treatment of the laborers in the
Canal Zone that 1t is pleasant to hear
the other side of the case. There is
going to be necessarily all the time a
great deal of stomach aching from pro-
fessional fault-finders, who are always
ca the lookout for something to cry
aloud about. Digging the canal cam
not be accompanied with all the elegant
accomplishments of a s o'clock tea, nor
are the labOrers gentlemen who would
appear well in q carpeted room. Dig
ging the canal is rough. hard work,
and there is no question that under the
management of America the work will
be done with far less dangerous and
disagreeable accomplishments than ever
a great work was prosecuted before I'm
the history of the world. Poultney
BigelOw's statements that the laborers
are returning to Jamaica in large num-
bers because of their ill-treatment is
being very thoroughly disproved by the
actual reports of arrivals and depart
ures. The negroes are going there In
greater numbers from Jamaica than
ever, and more of them are remaining
there. During January alone 1877
more negroes came to the Isthmus from
Jamaica than went away. All these
came and went voluntarily, except a
number of the latter, who were driven
away because they were found to be
worthless as laborers or dangerous to
those employed. The Governor OF ia
maica sent commissioner to the 18TH
mus to investigate the conditions, and
his report is thorough and decisive.
He says that the men are weli-treated
and weli-fed. and sums up the condi-
tons thus:
1.-The laborer can live decently and
yet save money in the zone. There is
no reason why. at the end of a years
work, he should not return to his ma
tive land with q few pounds, and IL
he Is prudent after laboring in the
zone for two or three years he should
be in position to set up for himself
as an independent peasant proprietor
in one of these islands; but he should
understand distinctly that he is going
to the zone to work and not to loaf,
and that the license which many sulk-
ers now enjoy in Panama will be put
a stop to at no very distant date The
pIoicsSiohdi sHlFhcF Will soon not De
able to obtain employment in the zone
He will be deported to his native land,
and will never again be allowed to set
foot in one Of the camps"
One just complaint upon which the
Jamaicans themselves are reused Is
that the Government of Jamaica itself
is trying to profit out Of the labor sup
ply by exacting a fee OF five pounds
t$25) for repatriation when the laborer
comes back. The Jamaican papers are
pointing out that this is bad business,
since it Is best to have the laborers go
freely to the Isthmus, make what
money they can and bring it back to
be spent in Jamaica.

1t Is Senator Elkins's misfortune that
nobody can be gotten to accept him
disinterestedly. Whenever he does
anything the disposition is to hunt
around for his motive. He has said
that all he wants to add to the Hep
burn bill is the following amendment:
THAT carriers OF Interstate COM
merce shall, upon application, put in
all necessary switches to meet wants
of shippers, make prompt connections
and operating arrangements with con-
meeting branch Or lateral lines reason
able and Just division of through, rates
and make reasonable and just allow
ances to connecting. lateral or branch
lines for originating freight
The Railroad News says that the
queer feature of this amendment is in
the last two words, and that they con-
tain a possibility OF a legalizing Of re-
bates in almost the worst form that
could be imagined.
