 Several prominent railroad officials. as well as engineers of the southern road, have been in the city. Nothing was given out, but 1t is understood that they were here in the interest of the Mobile and Ohio railroad and that 1t is very probable that the Warrior Southern will be extended from Kellerman to Birming ham, distance of some twenty-seyen miles. thus giving the Southern an en- trance into Montgomery over the Mobile and Ohio from this point and direct connection with all Florida points out Of that city.

Washington April 27-(special.)-sen ator Simmons has introduced an amend ment to the postoffee appropriation bill making an appropriation for what is known as the Southern Special" train from Washington to Atlanta and New Orleans. The amendment introduced by Senator Simmons is in the form of a pro- vlso and is as follows
 Provided. that no part of the appro- priation made by this paragraph shall be expended unless the postmaster general shall consider and find that such ex- pendture is necessary in order to pro mote the interest of the postal service and in such case no greater sum shall be paid for such facilities than is in the judgment of the postmaster general fair compensation for services to be rendered by said trunk line Or lines"

 It is understood that the postmaster general while refusing to make any esh- mate for this service, has heretofore claimed that the application made for this special service was in the nature Of q direction by Congress 10 him, and that he had no discretion in the matter. The object of my amendment is to make it plain that Congress not only puts the question up to him. but also requires him, in case he dSes contract for the ex- petition Of tl5s mail. to pay no greater sum for ik than is a fair consideration for the sefvIces to be performed by the rail- read, thereby eliminating from the trans action, if one is made, all elements of bounty Or subsidy"

Representative Underwood of Alabama today introduced a bill authorizing the President to negotiate trade contracts.

The contracts before becoming operative are to be submitted to Congress Tor ratification, amendment or reject ment.
 This will do away with the necessity or two-thirds vote in the Senate, sim ply requiring q majority vote in each branch of Congress. fMr. Underwood be- lleves the enactment of such measure would be of great advantage to the coun- try. It is drawn especially to meet the German situation, which will again be- come acute when the years postponement is passed.

SLEEP OF RESERVATION.
How 1t Differs From Repose-Shock
 That Causes Death.

From the London Spectator
 The sleep of Information is a very diff ferent matter from the sleep of repose. If i. be complete, respiration can no longer be detected. A torpid bat when disturbed will heave a sigh or two, and. being left alone. again to all appearances ceases to breathe.
 Submerged in water of a temperature slightly higher than his own, the hedge hog not only continues to live, but ap- pears to suffer neither inconvenience nor harm. Enclosed in an alright acceptable, his atmosphere undergoes change so slight that it cannot be imputed to breath ing. But circulation does not cease. As respiration diminishes the irritabilty of the muscles of the heart increases and thus, without the stimulus of oxygen, all though much more slowly, the heart con tinues to beat. In the absence of the fresh air drawn into the lungs in times of activity. uncleansed and unrevigorated and venous blood passes on to fill the whole system of circulation.
 A profound lethargy ensues, only dls- tinguishabe from death by the slight beating of the heart. The waste Is very
  plenty of summer and autumn supplies all expenditure until the coming of spring, when earlier or later the hiberna ting ani- mal. having no capital in reserve, begins to suffer the bangs of hunger. In re- sponse to the demand respira ton very slowly increases. His oxidzed blood flows more quickly and his energy returns.
 Then the bat flies forth once more from the hollow tree in the wood, to find the warm dusk teeming with insect life, and the hedgehog comes, 1t may be from the cavity under the gnarled roots below, to find beetles. worms, and slugs once more among the spring grass Hibernaton has saved him from starvation but if his nook had not been snug and wisely chosen, it could not have preserved him from death from frost.
 The hiding place also much be secret and free from intrusion, for the hibernat- ing animal cannot bear to be suddenly aroused. Even the little dormouse. which comes out at intervals to feed. when in deep sleep does not survive too nasty an awakening The heat of the hand grad ually passing through the nest or to be carried indoors to the warmer tempera- ture of room, is well enough.
 He awakes refreshed, full of activity, and with disposition speedily to be- come tame and make friends. But if you warm him suddenly back to life before he has gradually breathed the torpor out of his blood and established an equilib- rum between his respiration and muscu- lar irritability. his heart will beat at a tremendous rate, and in few minutes he is dead.
