from London to the Transvaal from
nineteen to nine days, and that from
Antwerp to the heart of the central

days to five days. The great obstacle to
this railway Is the 80 miles of desert
to be traversed between Algeria and the

would be possible to reduce this distance

WILL REPORT UTILITIES
MEASURE TOMORROW
Bill Providing for Commission
Will Go to Senate District
Committee.

The Gallinger public utilities commits
sion bill will be favorably repo rted to the
full Senate District committee from the
subcommittee that has had it under con-
sideration for several weeks at tomor-
rows session of the full committee.
\ meeting of the subcommittee was
called for today, but only Senators Gal
linger and oliver were able to attend.
After a short conference it was decided to
present the bill to the full committee
without further delay, and the differences
of opinion regarding features of the bill
will be left to the full committee.
There has been much discussion among
the members of the subcommittee regard
ing the provision of the bill which will
not allow one public utility corporation
to acquire the stocks or bonds of another
engaged in the same line of business, un-
less authorized by law or authorized In
writing by the public utility commission.
1t has been suggested that such a pro-
vision is not necessary in the law, owing
to the stringent regulation of all public
utilities which will be possible under the
commission, but on the other hand it Is
insisted that the national feeling against
the sitting of competition by combination
should be written into this legislation.
Secrecy Over Controversy.
There has been much secrecy regarding
the controversy over this paragraph in
the bill. Senator Oliver of Pennsylvania,
it's chairman. has been lodging newspaper
interviewers, and no public announcement
or inkling regarding it has been made.
The paragraph in question specifies:
1T shall be unlawful for any street
railroad corporation, gas corporation, cleo
trical corporation, telephone corporation
or other public utility corporation, di-
rectly or indirectly. to acquire the stock
or bonds of any other corporation inc0r-
porated for or engaged in the same OF
similar business as it is. unless author
lied by existing law or as it may be au-
thoriZed in writing to- do by the
commission. and every contract. trans
fer, agreement for transfer or assignment
of any such stocks or bonds without such
statutory or written authority shall be
void and of no effect

Postman Turns Burglar

An extraordinary case is reported from
place near Agen, where a postman
turned burglar and was shot after he
had broken into a chateau. The prOprie-
tor had gone away for a few days and
left the chateau in charge of servant
During the night the servant heard a
noise and saw some one with light in
the rooms of his master. He gave the
alarm to some neighbors, and three
farmers, each with u rifle, posted them-
selves at the gates.
The burglar was then called upon to
surrender himself, out he refused to do
so. He packed up lot of silver plate
and tried to escape across a field. The
farmers fired at him and the man fell,
wounded. He was then captured, and.
to the surprise of the farmers, he proved
to be a postman in the district, who had
been employed as an extra hand and who
had hitherto given great satisfaction.
He was conveyed TO hospital.
The wealth of Paris is diminishing. A
crisis is at hand, and all this is due to
the reckless moods of fashion. A few
years ago ladies wore dresses that trail
ed in all directions and hats that threw
a shadow across the street. Fashion
then suddenly and recklessly changed.
The hobble skirts became SO narrow
that it looked as if the wearer We're in
tended to go round the skirt and not the
skirt round the wearer. Now hats have
undergone similar inexplicable change
From being loaded with flowers and
feathers they are suddenly worn bare of
every ornament. You throw a fabric of
felt or straw over YOUR head and you are
dressed as far as headgear Is concerned.

Milliners in Despair.

The Paris miIliners are in despair. They
say that they have not created the fash
ion and yet they have to follow it.
Twenty per cent of their receipts have
dropped off. Two-thirds of the hands are
idle i'm some establishments. Famine is
staring many a little mflinette in the
face, just because fashion has decreed
that there shall be no feathers and no
flowers on the hats. The trimming is re-
Gfuced to a minimum. Ladies have been
seen with nothing but a pin in their hat
