The Cold Wave.

The weather last night was frigid. A
high northwest wind prevailed which
hurled clouds of snow through the streets.
But few people exposed themselves TO
the fury of the elements. Heavy flaws
of wind ratified window sash, swsyed
signs and in many instances caused APP
prehension. No serious damage, how
ever, is reported. Some shingles were
blown from roofs and a few bricks were
displaced from chimneys. The mercury
was gradually falling all the time, and
at 7 o'clock this morning stood at ~.
The river today presented bleak aP-
pearance. The fats opposite this city
were covered with ice as far out as the
channel banks, while the fierce northwest
wind had caused an ab1Ormally low tide,
the water having been blown entirely out
of some of the docks. The weather has
been blustry and cold today.

Feed the Birds.

Policemen in Washington are devot-
ing some Of their spare time to feeding
the birds of that city. During the pres
ent frigid weather food should be placed
in convenient places for birds in ell
cities. This can easily be done by
thoughtful housekeepers. Before the
advent OF the English sparrow birds oc-
casionally pecked at windows in cities
when driven from the woods by heavy
snowfalls and billiards. The sparrow
has come to stay. There are thousands
in Alexandria, and they only appeal for
the crumbs from the table

Mr.. Foraker, of Ohio, took ihe-hoor
shortly after noon, today, to present his
reasons why the government should mol
enter into further governmental regula-
ton of railways He had an audience
only limited by the capacity Of the SEN
ate. Most of the members Of the Ohio
delegation in the House occupied seats
in the rear of the chamber. Secretary OF
War Taft was an interested listener.
In The diplomatic gallery was the Chi
nese Minister and members of the Rus
sian Embassy.
In carefully prepared speech. which
required some three hours in delivery,
he argued against the policy Of govern
mental rate making in general and the
Hepburn bill in particular. He held
that the latter was unconstitutional az
we'll as impracticable, and predicted It's
speedy death 10 the supreme Court OF
the United States il il should pass in the
shape in which it had come from the
House. He admitted that there were
evils TO be remedied, but this could be
accomplished by merely amending the
present Elkins law so as TO make It's pro-
visions cover the matter OF excessive
rates, ard by making it specifically APP
plicable to every kind of rebates aud

The peculiar ,sition occupied by the
Senator, he being the only member OF

VIRGIN. ANDERSON
They Will Be Main Event at OougIaS-FOur Ball Teams
 in Tournament,

IL has been definitely decided that
 the main event in the wrestling tourn- ament to be held at Douglas in the op- era house there on the night of July f will be between Jack Virgin, the doughty little Tombstone miner, and A. Anderson, the whirlwind Swede, who so handily defeated Rasmussen here on the night of June 15.
 While Virgin was once defeated here by Rasmussen, followers of the game claim that he was not then in his best form, having come direct from the mines without a days training to go down to defeat at the hands of Ras- mussen. It is now claimed by his friends that he is in superb condition and will give Anderson a much warm CT argument than many look for.
 Douglas sports had a newcomer in the wrestling ranks framed up for Anderson, but Stonehouse. who went to Douglas to look into the matter, found that he weighed 40 pounds more than the Swede, and took none of the game.
 Stonehouse's refusal 10 give the New
 Yorker chance was the result of the latter's insistence that he win the big end of the purse by throwing Ander-
 son once in one hour, two five-minute rests being allowed at regular inter- vals. StCnehouse thought this would
 be taking too much the worst of it, and baked.
 The preliminaries have not as yet been decided upon. but there is plenty
 of available material that is sure to give the public a run for it's money.
 It is only question of picking the best, and Manager Jimmie Stonehouse says that he will have a list of the preliminaries by Friday night. Something not yet down on the bills l is apt to happen, and if it does Sid Varney will be given the time of his life. Sid is after John Middlesky, the
 giant Indian, who put 1t all over him
 here last spring. Varney has not as iyet been able to arrange the match definitely, but has the assurance of
 Middlesky's manager that he will bring the big chief to Douglas if certain amount is guaranteed. Varney thinks | that he will be able to meet the terms of the Indians manager.
 1 Varney is saying little about what
 he expects to do with the Indian, but looks wise and smiles when he says that he expects to show the Indian
 new thing or two that he has figured out since their last match. Win or
 lose, the Indian will be a great draw | ing card for Douglas.
 Instead of there being a three-cor nered tournament among the ball teams of Douglas, Lowell and Bisbee | it is probable that Fl aso will be add ed to the field. Owing to the arbi trary stand taken by the Bisbee man

KNOCKED FROM A
 TRAIN BY BRIDGE.

FL PASO. June 2 J. A. Mccall lum. a Santa Fe freight conductor, is in the hospital lowering between life and death as the result of an accident which occurred Saturday near La Joia, on the Santa Fe.
 McCallum was standing on the top of the caboose of his train looking backward when the train came to bridge Without warning he was struck on the back of the neck by a brace of the bridge and hurled from the train. When picked up by the trainmen he was unconscious, and it was twelve hours before he regained his senses. Trainmen coming into Fl Paso from San Marcial, the mans home, state that he is in a critical condition, and doubt is expressed as to his recovery.
 MT. McCallum is several inches over six feet high. Heretofore trainmen have stood on top of the cars. while trains crossed the bridge, but Mccall lum was several inches too high, and the accident may cost him his life. He is now in the Santa Fe hospital at Al buQuerque.
