By THE uniform system Ct accounts
that must be followed by all railroads,
promulgated Saturday by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, government con-
troll of trunk lines will become an actual
fact on July /. This furnishes the mo-
dus operandi whereby the commission is
enabled to enforce the most drastic clause
of the most drastic rate bill ever passed
by Congress. By lis operation the rail
roads are forced into the limelight OF
publicity even down to the veriest detail
o. operation. Indirectly, stock jobbing
and speculation with corporate funds be-
comes an impossibility. Not only does
the system provide for monthly reports
to the government officials, but by its
workings every record of every trans
action is accessible at all times. The
system will 60 into effect on July ], and
after that time monthly reports must be
filed by the railroads.

Women Agitators.

Chicago, june l7.-Women operators
are proving the chief agi,ators among
the Western Ubion and Postal Telegraph
members OF the Chicago Commercial
TelegrapherS Union. They are much
more anxious to strike than are the men,
and today issued a similar formal notice
to the two companies that if the officials
are expecting them to take positions at
smaller salaries than the men they would
be badly fooled. The action Of 1900
operators at the union meeting yesterday
in voting to ask the New York officials
to demsnd q settlement from the West

Germany Arnnsed

Berlin, June 1.-THE confirmation by
NJ. Pischon, French minister of foreign
aIaira, yesterday of the new so-called
triple alliance between Great Britain,
France and Spain, to guarantee their
sea coasts end the integrity of their in
sular and Mediterranean possessions, has
aroused great indignation here. The
new alliance is regarded as aimed directly
at Germany, and as such is throughly
Condemned. Many statesmen have felt
that Germany will soCner or later be
forced to war to protect herself if the
efforts to cut her of in all directions are
not abandoned. The new ententes be-
tween Spain and Great Britain and Spain
and France, by which the coasts are
guaranteed, promise TO caused trouble in
the future. Germany may protect against
the entente unless acme assurances are
given her that the accOrds are not aimed

Mr.. BRADY IN DREAMLAND.
A CHRISTMAS STORY.


so queer, and in his effort to say,
81 have not failed," he turned over
in bed, and dreamed that he was in
the home Of his brother, where a
group Of rosy-cheeked nephews and
nieces were discussing Santa Claus
and Christmas gifts. Frederick, a lad
Of ten years, expressed a wish for a
pair of skates, sled, also some books
Little Annie wanted a doll, some
dishes, box Of candy, "and dozens
and dozens Of things" Charles, Mr.
Bradley's namesake, said, "How do
you expect to get all these things?
| heard papa tell mama that Santa
Claus was very poor this year" At
this little Annie exclaimed, "Uncle
Charles will send something; he al
ways does." "Well, he may not this
year," replied Charles in a tantalizing
tone ''When Christmas comes but
once a year, it looks likely that Uncle
Charles will miss sending a box"
replied Frederick. "Why, Christmas
would not be Christmas if Uncle
Charles did not send something" said
little Annie, making a great effort to
control her feelings, but fear took
possession Of her and she began to
sob violently, at the verv thought Of
the disappointment which might be
in store for them.
Mr.. Bradley felt much distressed
over the grief of his little niece, and
he wanted to speak to her, but he
could not utter a word; he tried to
reach his hand to her, that he might
take her on his knee, but his arms
seemed glued to his sides; then he
tried to walk to her, but his feet were
so heavy, he could not lift them from
the floor, and in his effort to do SO
he groaned, turned over in bed, only
to be taken on another trip into
dreamland.
This time he seemed to be in a
city, carried along by the crows who
were hurrying to and fro. He noticed
that nearly every one he saw carried
a parcel, and that the spirit Of good
cheer had taken possession of every
body. He carried no parcel, and as
he p1anced at his empty hands, they
appeared skinny and shrunken. What
could it mean? Just here he entered
a beautiful church which was throng-
ed with laughing, merryhearted chill
dren. The interior of the church was
made gay with festoons Of evergreens
and holly, and a beautiful Christmas
tree decorated with candles and tinsel
gave the true Christmas touch to the
whole scene.
It began to dawn on Mr.. Bradley
that it was Christmas, and that the
hurrying crowds were Christmas shop
pers, and then he recalled his talk
with Mrs Bradley, and while wonder
full if it was too late to buy presents,
his attention was attracted by the
conversation Of two little girls. Said
one: "My Uncle James came this
morning and brought me a doll, and
carriage, and lots and lots of things"
"Well" replied the other, eff my I'm
Gle Charley Bradley had lived, I know
he would have sent me doll and
carriage too, but he died a month ago,
and mamma said Christmas would not
be Christmas this year, because we
would not get the beautiful box from
Uncle Charlie, and she cried when
she said it."
