Senator TilIman In London Fog.

senator lIilman In London Fog.
 Since his visit to Europe Sena tor Tillman has a fund of new stories, which sound properly filtered and possess the true con. mental flavor. In London he en joyed a real "pea soup," fog; to get good view of it he took z ride on top of a bus, whicl passed slowly along the streets IS though feeling it's way. Tn: vintry chill pinched his nose ant 'ars, the fog dripped Niobe lik, around him; everything was noist and sticky; sound was leadened; cabs and foot passen gers loomed up for a moment. ike phantoms, and disappeared IS suddenly.

 The Senator asked why.
 "You know, these folks al look like ghosts and ghostesses 70 me-and Latin's the proper language to talk to spirits in, It's well known they won, answer If they're spoke to il English. :"
 Beside the Senator was a Parsee, wearing a red tez. Tn, lriver cast sundry curious glan .es at him. during the frequen, pauses necessitated by the fog When the man got off, he said:

@fOR WEEKS PAST,

O the time stretching now
 into months, there has been received at the Census Office a steady stream of kicks and protests from enumerat- ors who want their pay and can't get it. Piteous appeals come in from them. Some of them have sickness in theil families. Some of tn n are about to lose their homes unless they can get the little sums due them. Others have still other pressing needs. Even food and shelter are lack ing with many. Aggravat- ing these appeals are the To- cal troubles of the women who have been working at tabulating in the main office in Washington. They t O C have been complaining long and loud because they could not g e t their pay. T h e trouble seems to be chiefly in the internal administration of the office, and 1t is no wonder that the chief of the bureau gets out of town, as he said to do, in order to get away from the torrent of complaints that pour in upon him. His troubles, however, will come when the cities which fee that his figures are liOels on hem are heard from Wash ington was the first, but there are many, many more to be heard from.

lffANY YEARS AGO, JUL with the discovery ot
 oil in California, where

 oil in California, where coal was scarce and very ex- pensive, the railroads there adopted 1t for fuel in theil locomotives. There was al immediate benefit in the di- rection of economical opera ton. Moreover, travel was given an added delight be cause of the absence of cin- derS and smol e. Incident ally, there was such a large decrease in the number of grain and grass fires. due to the absence of the flaming cinders which started many fires, that the Santa Fe rail road found in the saving by fewer damage suits f r o m farmers and others, reason enough in itself for convert ing all locomotives on it's Pac- fife Coast iiues into oi. burns CTS.
 The example of the west ern roads might be followed by those in the rest of the country where there is a sufi- cient supply of oil to insure the steady and economical supply of that fuel. Anyone who travels on road where coal is used, as for instance on the routes between Wash ington and New York, will wonder why the use of oil fuel is no t adopted. The smoke and cinders from the locomotives render travel or such roads in the summer time, when windows mustbe kept open to insure enough fresh air to prevent suficatior a positive burden.

COMMERCIAL AVENUE
Argument BY Attorneys Occupied
County Court All of Yesterday
Conclude Today.

In the county court yesterday the
argument by the attorneys in the
Commercial avenue pavement ease
took up the day, and it will be con-
tinued this morning, to be completed
probably by noon. Judge Dewey has
already announced that he will take
the case under advisement
The case is being very thoroughly
presenter Argument was begun
Tuesday morning by Judge John NJ.
Lansden, who occupied nearly three
hours, from 10 a. m. till noon and
from 2:20 to p. m. Attorney Leek
spoke in reply from 3 to p. m.
Yesterday morning Attorney Kolb
of Mt Carmel presented the Big
Four's objections to the paving ordi-
nance, speaking from 9:15 to 10: 10;
he was followed by Mr. Leek from
1915 till noon, and from 1880 to $50
p. m. when Mr.. Kolb took UP his
side again from $50 to Q, and Mr..
Leek closed, speaking from to i:3O.
Then Attorney d. s. Lansden took
up the case of the electric railway
companies and he will conclude this
morning to be followed by Mr. Leek
in conclusion for the city.
Attorney Leek's strongest point
seems to be that the railway com.
panies elected and agreed to put
down the second track on CONNER.
, cial avenue. for which they were as
sessed, the agreement being verbal,
made with the mayor by former Gen
eral Manager Fischer
In his argument yesterday Attorney
Lansaen made the point, even grant.
ing that such verbal agreement was
made which was not proven, that
there was no case on record, among
the hundreds of such cases passed
upon by the supreme court of the
state. In which an assessment orli
| nance rested upon a mere verbal
agreement and there was no case on
record In which railroad company
was assessed for track that was
mot there-a railroad company could
n6f be assessed on its franchise
which was intangible.
