Delivers Work.

Senator Dolliver has become thor
oughly convinced that the president is
going TO win the present contest with
the senate over the railroad rate legis-
lation. He is working with the presI,
dent in the matter and reports at the
White House daily on the prospects.
He says he feels that the ultimate out.
come will be that so-called railroad
senators will yield. He bases his opin.
ions upon the conferences he is con
stantly holding with the recalcitrant
senators, his work every day, Il fact,
being divided between talks with these
senators and with the president, in an
attempt TO arrive AT some understand
ing which will be satisfactory to both
sides, but which will not bring upon
the president the aspersion of having
surrendered. He believes he has con
WINGED the railroad senators that they
will do we'll to take the Hepburn bill
as ii is largely, rather than run the
risk of having later to take something
much more drastic.

Stories of Undergraduates.

A nervous freshman was dining
with Thomas Herbert Warren, pres
ident OF Magdalen college, Oxford.
BY way of starting conversation the
latter glanced out OF the window and
remarked, I'VE have a little sun to-
day." but he was astonished to re-
ceive the freshman's congratulations
coupled with the hope that Mrs. War
rem was doing well. Another Ok
ford story: During his undergradu-
ate days a man who is now a learned
professor was discovered sitting in

brella unfurled above his head In
response to anxious inquiries as to
what he was doing he replied; flush.

Nine Speeches on Rate Bill.

Various phases of the railroad rate
question were threshed over in the
house in the course of nine speeches
which occupied six and a half hours.
This concludes the fifth day of the
discussion, but the end is not yet.
Many members on both sides of the
house desire TO record their views and
general debate will be allowed to con
tinue.
Mr.. Clayton, of Alabama, said the
legislation in principle was as old as
the common law. Mr.. Henry, of Texas,
showed how it was supported by the
legislation and the courts.
Mr. Esch, of Wisconsin, explained
how the bill was broad enough to in.
clude the regulation of express com.
panies. He said there were five ages
in railroading in America-the age OF
construction, the age of competition
the age of combinations, the age OF
government control. and there is the
fifth, the age of government owner

DESTROYED A CITY.

Fears are expressed that the cnl.
ting off of cable communication with
the West Indies and South America
was due TO some disaster, ana there
Is a report that the city Of Buena Ven
ulra, Colombia, has been DESTROYED by
an earthquake. II is reported that the
earthquake extended to the city oi
Guayaquil. which has also suffered,
but to what extent is not known. Tidal
waves to the sousl of Panama are rr-
ported from the latter point.
The islands cut off from cable com
munications are ST. Thomas. Santa

them is that there has been an up

A few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fair play
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted, but no
name of person. Both the singular
and plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes.
The letters in "YI-O-Grape-N Nuts"
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes. all those beginning with A to-
gether and those beginning with e to
come under Il, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A, f..
and other columns, to fill in later as
new words come to You for they will
spring into mind every evening.
II is almost certain that some con
test.nts will tie with others. In such
cases a prize identical in value and
character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested TO send with the
list of words a plainly written letter
describing the advantages Of Grape
