Back In the Union.

At a Washington meeting of a
Rough Rider organization, one of the
members told the following story Of
fiery old Southerner, whose son, at
outbreak of the war with Spain, was
DESTROYS Of joining Col. Roosevelt's
regiment.
The old gentleman lad been wont
to declare that he went out of the
Union" when his state did; and dur
ing the period between the close OF
the one war and the beginning Of the
other he was an apparently hopeless
"unreconstructed."
To the surprise, therefore, of all
who knew him, the old man offered no
objection when his son, stalwart lad,
went with the Rough Riders to Cuba.
Not long afterward, the volunteer re-
marked to a fellow soldier:
"The old man is back in the Union
at last"
"Does he say so?' asked the other,
with glance at the letter the boy
held.
1T amounts to the same thing" was
the answer. He now writes United
States without quotation marks

WireIess Tlme slnnaIs.

Mons. Bouquet de la Grye has sug-
gested to the French Academy of Sci
ences a wide use for the great wire
less telegraph installation on the Elf
fel Tower. At present the signals can
be sent to distance of about 1900
miles from the tower, but he thinks
that with the increase of electric en-
ergy the effective distance. might be
doubled. He suggests, then, that by
international arrangement a special
signal could be sent from the tower
precisely at midnight, Paris time, and
this signal, being received upon ships
far out at sea, would furnish nayiga-
tors N4eM an Invaluable check upon
their chronometers by giving them the
exact hour at known point on the
earth.

TRAVELLING Licht.

Two tramps approached a railroad
telegraph Office not far from New
York the other day, and looked hun
grily through the window, but there
was not even dinner pail in sight, to
induce them to ask for food. One Of
them finally tapped on the window,
and The operator left his key long
enough to inquire:
well, what can do for you?"

Ocean observations, connected to

is proposed by M. Bigourdan, a

essential are the observations at sea
is seen from the fact that weather

 The matter was referred to Attorney General w. F.

A RATE CONFERENCE
Will Be Held In Little Rock On October
 9th and 7h.

St. Louis, Sept. 30. -1he hear ing which the Interstate Com merce Com mission is holding here on recent advance in freight rates to Texas ahd southwestern points was resumed today.
 J. c. Lincoln, expert on freight tariffs, took the stand to continue his testimony which he began yesterday, when he com batted the idea that the advances are justified.
 The complaints filed with the commission by the Merchan ts' Freight Bureau of Little Rock against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railr oad Company may be dropped.
 It had been proposed to con- solidate this case with the pres ent hearing
 l A. R. Bragg, manager of the bureau, asked the commission to postpone the case, saying that matters are being adjusted with the railroads.
 The complaint alleged that rates between St. Louis and Arkansas points are being raiS- ed without corresponding in- crease in charges between St. Louis and New Orleans, Shreve- port and other cities of that sec tion. =:
 Manager A. R. Bragg is eXs pected to return to Little Rock tomorrow morning from St. Louis.
 . There has been opposition to the consolidation of the Arkan- sas cases with those of Texas, because the issues involved are entirely dissimilar The Texas case was general in it's character, whereas that of Arkansas alleges specific instance of discrimi- nation.
 A conference has been arrang- ed between the shipping inter- , ests of the State and the big h traffic officials of the Iron Mountain, Rock Island and Cot
 ton Belt, to be held in Little } Rock October 9th and 7th, with
 a view to arbitrating the sched- . ule of advanced rates that went
 in5o effect on September 24. It is thought that this is the explanation of the statement in the above telegram to the effect that the Arkansas case would probably be dropped.
