cURTISS AND TROLLEY
Believes it Will be Built Despite Op-

Believes it Will be Built Despite Op-
 position of Railroad Commission.
 Representative Frank Curtiss ot Shef- field, who is endeavoring to get legis- lation so that the trolley lines can be extended in Southern Berkshire, told a number of friends recently that the people of the eastern part of the state seem to greatly fear the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad.
 Mir. Curtiss in order to explain the position of the people in and about Boston tells this story: A man had a small pair of horses that were unable to haul load out of the mud. A man with a fine big pair came along and offered to help out his neighbor by hitching his team to the load.
 "Who are you?" asked the man with the small team.
 "Why, I am the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad" said the owner of the large horses
 "Well, do not care for your serv. ices," replied the other, because I am afraid you will take my team, load and all, and I never can get them back"
 This Mir. Curtiss states, is the con dition ill Massachusetts. The people are awfully afraid of the New Haven road. < He further says that if this feel ing towards the Consolidated road con tinues that a fence will eventually be built about Massachusetts.
 MT. Curtiss is very enthusiastic fol the building of the trolley and despite the opposition shown by the state rail way commission, his friends believe tha when the bill comes hefore the house tho vote in favor of it will be large. MT Curtiss is seeing every member of tht house and is advocating his bill for al 1t is worth.

 If the nomination remains hanging iu the air for this session. 1t simply means that the fisbt will have to be kept up after March q. An adverse report this month would doubtlcss end Hundley. That .1s what Hundiey's s packers really now fear more than anything else. although they win not admit it. It is to their interest to tell 1t around that they are certain of victory if the case agains comes out of committee, whether the report fs favorable or adverse. but away down in their hearts they hope and pray that 1t win be hung up In committee for the rest of this session.
 Then their reliance is upon President Taft to give him reappointment, and they will do their utmost to make him believe that business win suffer aw- fully if Eundiey does not receive the appointment in time to open court at Birmingham on March 2.
 That's the game pure and simple, and the opponents of Hundley think that if Senator Banl<h cad would come out right off and try to put an end to this squabble, he could do it. re- gardiess of any position taken by his colleague, for 1t should be borne in mind that should Hundley indu&e the coming administration to give hftnf an- other appointment to i'll in the gap this fight will become more bittef than ever. and no one knows when # will stop.

REMEMBER THE MAINE Anniversary of Havana
 Catastrophe. IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES HELD Rear Admiral Sigsbee the Chief
 Speaker. In Stirring Words He Depicted the story sf the nl-fatea Battle ship Which Led To War.

Washington. Feb. 1s.--Memories or the men who were plunged to sudden death when the battleship Maine went down in the waters of Havana harbor eleven years ago today. were honored in song and story here today in ob- servance of the anniversary by mill tary. relrgious and patriotic bodies
 Beautiful and impressive were the ceremonies at st. Patricks Catholic church, where a military mass cele- brated for the dead heroes by, Rev. Thomas E. McGuigan. Rev. Father Wm. T. Russell. pastor of St. Patrick's delivered the eulogy.
 A pilgrimage was made to Arling- ton. where at the granite shaft which towers above 1e5 of the Maine victims. services unusual in their solemntty were conducted in the presence of a throng of people.
 Rear Admiral Sigsbee. retired, com mander of the ili-fated battieship. was the chief speaker and in stirring words ha depicted the story of the catastro- phe which led the nation to war
 ..On that dark overcast and ominous- iy quiet night" he said. eleven years ago, taps took on . new meaning to the survivors of the MainA.
 They were sounded that night with exceptional solemnity. In the pauses, the echoes rolled back from the hills with such distinctness that all must have listened and heard. Taps. tho nightly signal for silence and sleep was. therefore the last distinctive sound heard by those men in life. for in one half hour. they were dead--for the greater part--siead in their sleep. And the bugler himself waR dead He had sounded . requiem for himself and his shtpmates.
 We are assembled here today. some as individuals and others as members of patriotic organizations. to honor our dead The manner of their dying calls for our deepest sympathy and most profound sorrow.
 ''The honorable chance of war, that others had later. these men did not have. yet just aa truly they served their country we'll Beyond all doubt our whole people feel deeply the loss of the Maine's men and with no passing grief The present gathering and the gatherings and ceremonies elsewhere today show that these dead are not forgotten. To me. as to no other man. has come knowledge of the sorrows and distresses spread broadcast by the catastrophe of the Maine Comrades and frtends; As the commander of the Maine. when she was lost and so far as may assume to be right on this occasion. I join my hands to yours in patriotic fellowship and in grateful appreciation of these commemorative services st Arlington"
 Several others delivered brief ad- dresses Two troops of mounted men from Fort Myer fred the salute. A large floral tribute was sent by Presi- dent Roosevelt and many wreaths ware contrfbutei by individuals and patri- otto organizations.

THAT VETO MESSAGE.
Hoase May Ynsist On The Census RAVa

hOuse May Anslst On The Census
 Washington, Feb. 16s-The reasons for the delay by the House in its efforts to again pass the bill making the. provision for the taking of the thirteenth census which was recently vetoed by the President are gradually leaking out
 There is no doubt that a large majority of the members of the House would be willing to pass the vetoed measure regardless of the Presidents wishes. but they seem to have discov- cred that this action on their part would be futile.
 They desire the passage of the law because of the fact that 1t provides for the appointment of census employees without requiring them to pass a com petitive civil service examination which is the ground for the Presidents ob- jection. The plan of postponing action in the bill until March when there will be another President is suggested but 1t is stated by the Presidents au- thority that MT. Taft favors civil ser vice much as does MT. Roosevelt and the future of the bill is problematical.

 From a representative of the United States Steel Corporation. however, 1t was learned that no reduction is con- templated by that company, which will stand by it's revised schedule of June, 1908, unless the attitude of the inde- pendents becomes sufficiently menAc- ing to warrant further reductions.
 It was stated that cuts 10 be made by the independents are likely to range from S3 to $5 a ton and will be made chiefly in tho hope of stimulating the market.
