"And how's how?" inquired Starlight.
"Snuff," answered old Hurricane very

little of it ever 50 near their noses and
they'll sneeze their lies off"

Karl, "who has a better plan. He spreads
the bivalves in circle, seats himself in

Sometimes it's an adventure in Mexico
sometimes legend of bis loyes-some-
times a marvellous stock operation in Wall

"As he proceeds, the natives get in

From its upper floor could be
seen three states, seven counties,
cities, towns, and villages, farms
and woodlands, rivers and lakes,
and against the far horizon the
blue, dim outlines of the noun
tains again.
Lofty trees swayed verdant

bridge down the valley looked
like a child's plaything. And we
have been feeding our souls on
chocolate creams when there was
this exclaimed Rosalind husk-
lily. The tears were coursing
down Allison's cheeks, and Cora
was gazing reyerently up as if
her eyes were looking into
heaven.
From first to last it was a
never to- be forgotten day. The
ride to various interesting points,
the strolls afterwards, the prec-
ious sketches and specimens Sc
cured, all tended to make the ex-
perience valuable as we'll as en-
joyable.
I got ideas for half a dozen
stories l should never have
thought of if we'd stayed at
home, declared Rosalind that
night as they sat on the bed and
compared notes. And as for
Hortense Amelia, l know exactly
| what to do with her. Tt came to
me in a flash, apropos Of the be-
diamonded lady and her anti
quated suitor. I'll manufacture
an ancient widower who shall
rescue her from the oppressive
attentions of the rival lovers, and
then marry her to his own rich
and fascinating son.
I've got sketches enough for
an enchanting Brownie calendar
from those irrepressible boys on
the train, said Cora, brushing her
long hair.
I shall do a study of Patience
in the masculine gender and give
it the face of their teacher, 1t
will make me famous if can do

son, putting away the extra
sheets of parafin paper for use
."the next time" We are going
again often, aren't we, girls?
Yes, indeed, was the unani-
nous reply. It's done me more
good than barrels of soda, said
Rosalind.
Or bushels of chocolates, added
Cora.
It's cleared up and freshened
our wits, and that's worth all it
cost, continued Allison.
It's taught me something L
guess I needed to learn-that
people may have a lovely time
without much money, confessed
Cora.
It's too good a plan to keep to
ourselves. Let's tell everybody,

CAULKED WITH CEMENT.
Private Advices Say That the Con-
necticut is Leaking.

Private adviceS received here from the At
lantic fleet, now engaged in maneuvers on
the Caribbean sea, are to the effect that the
government-built battleship Connecticut is
carrying around good many barrels of ce-
ment between her double bottoms as the
result of the bump she got in striking the
coral reef while seeking to enter Culebra
harbor January 13. The reports indicate
that the hard coral rock caused a number
Of indentations along the starboard side of
the ship as she bumped along a distance of
fifty feet. None of the bottom plates were
pierced but some of the rivet heads were
knocked off and the plates were dented so
that the ship leaks slightly. With the aid
of cement, which is always carried by war
ships, and some planking and shores, thick
patches of waterproof substance were ap-
piled to the inside of the hull and it was
decided that the Connecticut might safely
continue with the Atlantic fleet until the
winter maneuvers were ended, when she
will come north and be locked for repairs
at the New York navy yard. The extent of
these repairs cannot be determined until she
is actually locked. If the plates are only
denied the damage will not be severe but
as it is feared the heavy steel frames upon
which the plates are riveted are bent in then
be done and it may be that the repairs will
cost $4,000 or $4,000 at least. Meanwhile
in conformity iwth the naval regulations Ad-
miral Evans has ordered court of inquiry
to FIX the responsibility for the grounding
and to determine whether or not Cant
Swift, the commanding officer of the Com
necticut, was to blame.

BANK IN PHILIPPINES.
Secretary Taft Trying to Obtain the
Approval of CONGRESS-

Secretary Taft has been making strong eff
forts to secure the approval of Congress to
the plan which he has formulated for the
creation of an agricultural bank in the
Philippines. This scheme contemplates as
sisting the farming classes through the loan
of small sums of money by the bank, Sc
cured by the crops or agricultural property,
the Philippine government itself not advanc-
ing the money, but will guarantee the bank
a certain stipulated sum of money on it's
ventures.
The idea became immensely popular IN the
Philippines as is evidenced by the follow
ing cablegram to Secretary Taft from John
Macleod, the president of the Philippine
economic association:

pines, representing combined bodies of com

STRIKE Is THREATENED.
Pennsylvania Refuses to Make Fur
Their Wage Advance,

PHILADELPHIA, February THE Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, through its
general manager, w. W. Atterbury, has
told the grievance committee Of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen that it will not
make further advance in the wages of it's
employees, and it is now up to the brother
hoods of trainmen and firemen to decide
whether the IL 600 trainmen and about 1000
firemen on the Pennsylvania system east of
Pittsburg shall be called out on strike. The
order of ira inmen includes all brakemen and
hagmen.
The troubles have been brewing since last
September. That the company realizes that
the situation is serious was evidenced by
a hurry call to all the vice presidents to
come to the Office of President McCrea.
This happened soon after the meeting be-
tween Mr.. Atterbury and the trainmen's
committee Mr.. Atterbury was there, as
was William Nichols, his assistant, who
has taken prominent part in all the ne
gotiations with the employees. 1t is re-
ported that the entire detective force Of
the railroad has been ordered to this city.
Immediately after the conference with
Mr.. Atterbury, the representatives of the
employees went back to their headquarters.
matter. Two meetings were held, the
firemen on one floor and the tra1nmen on
another.
After celebrating a couple of hours
word was sent to Broad street station
that another conference was desired with
Mr.. Atterbury. This took place and lasted
until after 6 o'clock Tuesday night, but
the result was not changed, neither side
showing a disposition to give in.

NOT A PRECEDENT.
Cost Of Sending Lumber to Hyatts-
Vile BY Two Roads.

Being charged on the average $50 a car
for hauling seven cars of lumber nine miles
was the basis of a rather peculiar COM
plant before the interstate commerce COM
mission yesterday. The complainant was
the Home Lumber Company of Washing
ton and the defendant roads were the Penn
sylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio. 1t
was not a large hearing, and, as Chairman
Knapp said, the case was not one likely to
occur often or to set a precedent, but the
lumber company was rather badly out of
pocket by the deal They had sold some
lumber to Hyattsv1lle, and in order to get
it delivered they had sent it over both the
Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio,
the total haul being only nine miles. Each
of the roads had charged them their full
local, making cents a hundred for ham
ding the lumber. There was no joint tariff
to Hyattsville, and it resulted in costing
the lumber company from $50 to $50 a car
to get the freight delivered, whereas they
had expected to pay only little more than
half that much.
Evidence was submitted on both sides
and at the suggestion of Chairman Knapp
the railroads and the local firm took the
matter out Of court to settle, with the sug-
ges.io1 from the commission that about 6
cents hundred would be fair to both sides.
The railroads said that they did not want
this case to be considered a precedent, but
were willing to do what they could to make
a satisfactory adjustment.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PEKING February 7.-Chao Poh 81,
president of the board of posts and commu-
nications. wishes to resign his office be-
cause of the emperors dismissal OF AIS
first and second secretaries. The storm or
jealousy that is beating upon Tong Shao
vi may force his resignation from the
offices he holds and even Viceroy Yuan
Shin Kai may be shelved to the Manchu-
rian provinces Chao is one of longs SYM
pathizers.
Tong Shao vi is Cantonese, and was
educated in the United States at Columbia
University A London Times correspondent
said of him few weeks ago:
He retains at the age of forty-hVe many
of the characteristics of that student CLASS
which bravely endeavors to adapt western
democratic ideas to the uses of oriental
ethics and policies, and to pour some OF the
new wine of personal liberty and equahty
into the old bottles of Chinese philosophy.
There is some excuse, perhaps, Tor Jeai-
ousy in the case of Tong. His advancement
has been rapid and the crop of political
plums he has gathered Is large. He owes
his advancement to Yuan Shlh kal, whose
protege he still is.
At the time of the Boxer troubles he was
managing director of the Northern railway.
Subsequently, upon the appointment OF
Yuan to succeed Ii Hung Chang as Vlceroy
of Chi Lii he filled the post of customs tao
tai at Tientsin Today he is director general
of railways. vice president of the foreign
board, commissioner of customs, next only
to Sir Robert Hart and lately 1T was SAID
he was about to be made member or the
grand council. His official salaries amount
to about 500, 600 a year, and there are per-
uuisites From one railroad alone he is
known to draw $1,000 year.
