tforrow Speaks on the Benefits of
a Pacific Cable.
7T IS OF VAST IMPORTANCE TO THE
PACIFIC COAST.
Representative Farquhar Confident
that the Shipping Bill will Become
a Law—The Ilouse Passes the Sun
dry Civil Bill-Suit to ibe Brought
Against the Pacific Railroads.
Special to the Record-Union.
Washington, Feb. 9.—Senator Mitch
ell's bill to incorporate the Transpacific
Cable Company is now in the hands of
the Committee t on Appropriations in
form of the substitute reported favorably
by the Committee on Foreign Relations,
which enables the President to make en
gagements with any citizens or corpora
tions of the United States as shall appear
to possess the means and facilities neces
sary to that end for telegraphic communi
cation between the United States and
Hawaii, which engagements shall con
tain provisions sufficient in the judgment
of the President to secure to tho Govern
ment and citizens of the United States
early and adequate communication by
telegraph with said kingdom upon reas
sonable terms for a period of not less
than fourteen years, in a sum not ex
ceeding &i,000,000, but not more tlmn
$250,000 of this appropriation shall Vie ex
pended in any one year, and this appro
priation shall be immediately available,
and shall continue to be available for.the
period aforesaid.
This will be offered as an amendment
to the sundry' civil appropriation bill
when it reaches the Senate.
The Committee on Foreign Affairs of
the House held a meeting to-day on tho
cable bill, and Morrow was lirst given a
hearing. He spoke for nearly an hoar,
Hhowing the importance of the bill to the
whole country, and especially its im
portance to the coast. The Pacific cable,
m his judgment, would be felt more in
the commercial world to-day than was
tho first Atlantic cable in its day. Tiio
whole country was interested in the trade
of the Orient, and that irade was increas
ing every day, and nothing would assist
in developing it more than this cable.
He also touched upon the importance of
building up the political relations with
the Sandwich Islands.
Morrow was followed by Dunnel of
Minnesota, who spent half an hour in
speaking of the enterprise in generul, and
in a favorable way.
PACIFIC RAILROADS.
Action to be Taken Against Them by
the Government.
Washington, Feb. t>. —It is learned
from a letter recently sent by Taylor,
the Commissioner of Railroads, to tho
Secretary of the Interior that action is
about to be taken under a recent decis
ion of the Supreme Court of the United
States in the case of the United States,
appellant, vs. The Central Pacific Rail
road Company.
This decision reversed the decision of
the Court of Claims, in which it is held
that the process of ascertaining the net
earnings of the Union and Central Pacific
Companies, upon which 25 per cent, is re
quired to be paid to the Government
under the Thurinan Act, it was proper to
deduct from tho gross earnings not only
the actual operating expenses necessary
for repairs and interest on the first
mortgage bonds, but also there should be
deducted all sums paid for improvements,'
betterments and new equipments. The
Supreme Court reverses this de
cision, and holds that under the Thur
inan Act the net earnings must be ascer
tained by deducting from the gross earn
ings only the actual operating expenses,
necessary repairs made within a year and
interest on lirst mortgage bonds.
Under this method of calculation the
net earnings of the Central Pacific Com
pany will be increased over $2,000,000 and
tho net earnings of the Union Pacific
Company nearly $7,000,000 since the pas
sage of the Thurman Act, U5 per cent of
which sums will now be recovered by the
Government.
The letter received by the Secretary
from Commissioner Taylor calls attention
to the decision of the court, and suggests
that it will bo necessary to make a restate
ment of the accounts, and asks the Secre
tary for instructions.
Commissioner Taylor, under orders
from Secretary Noble, has had a confer
ence with the Acting Secretary of the
Treasury, with a view of getting a full re
port of all the bills for services of the
Union and Central Pacific Companies on
file in the Treasury Department and not
acted upon.
It is intended to ascertain accurately the
state of accounts between the Government
and these roads, and then insist upon a
prompt payment of the amounts found to
be due.
CALIFORNIA FRUIT TESTS.
How tho Appropriation Relating
Thereto Is to bo Expended.
Washington, Feb. 9.—Secretary Rusk
has received a number of telegrams from
California urging certain parties for ap
pointment as Special Ageyt of the Ag
ricultural Department in investigation
of diseases of fruit trees in California.
There appears to be a misapprehension
regarding the appropriation for this pur
pose which is contained in the agricult
ural bill reported to the House to-day.
The follow ing clause is contained in the
bill and is no change from the bill of lust
year, which carried the same appropria
tion and was for the same purpose, viz.:
"Division of Vegetable Pathology—For
investigating the nature of diseases in
jurious to fruits, fruit trees, grain, cotton
and other usetul plants; experiments in
the treatment of the same, chemicals
and anparuius required in tho field
and labralory, necessary traveling
expenses, the preparation "of drawings
ana illustrations, and for other expenses
connected with the practical work of in
vestigation, $15,000, of which so much
thereof as may be directed by the Secre
tary of Agriculture may be applied to the
investigation of peach yellows, California
grape rot and blight of cotton, puar blight,
the disease of orange and the remedies
therefor." Five thousand six hundred
dollars of this appropriation is to be paid
in salaries, of which the chief pathologist
as U> receive $2,000, and the two traveling
assistants are to receive salaries of $1,400
and $1,200, respectively. A clerk is al
lowed 61,000, and the balance is to be ex
pended in apparatus, chemicals and
traveling expenses. Those jmhologists
are already in the employ of the Depart
ment, and no change in the force is con
templated.

probably assign one pathologist to South

It is understood that Secretory Rusk

with the diseases of their localities, and
who will be of great assistance to tho de
partment pathologists.

CONFERENCE WITH INDIAN'S.
Tho Commission Hearing the Griev
ances of the Sioux.
Washington, Feb. 9.—The conference
with the Indians was resumed to-day.
Commissioner Morgan said he had heard
enough of the past, and wanted plans for
the future, lie was prepared, to issue
£100,000 worth of beef to the Indians en
titled to receive it, which was cut on'in
the past.
Senator Dawes said if the Indians did
their, part and were industrious, the < Inv
ernmont would do its part and help them
become self-supporting.
White Ghost spoke of the encroach
ments of the whites upon the Indians'
lands. The rations of oolfee, he said,
amounted to about 100 grains per week to
each parson, and complained of the small
ness of the bacon rations. He said the
delegation had reached a unanimous de
cision that they did not want a military
agent.
Big Mane, of the Lower Brule Agency,
said the whites prevented the Indians
from getting fuel and hay. He wanted
the agency moved nearer. They needed
better school facilities. He complainod
of the small size of the beef cattle given
them.
Litlle-No-Heart spoke in the same vein.
Commissioner Morgan asked such of
the Indians as preferred civil agents to
stand up. All did so except Major
Swords, chief of the Indian police at Pine
Ridge, who preferred military agents.
ffSMud Boar, from Standing Rock, |said
his people insisted on more reservation
schools. If schools were located on the
reservations, their influence would be
felt, not only by the pupils, but by the
parents as well.

SILVER.
An Amendment Deslsned to Bring
Free Coinuse Before the House.
Washington, Feb. 9> —Dingley has
offered for reference in the House a resolu
tion as an amendment to Townsend's
resolution, designed to briug the silver
bill before the House. Dingley's amend
ment makes it in order to offer as amend
ment to any appropriation bill, substance
of any bill that has passed the House and
been before the Senate for six months
without result. The obvious purpose of
this amendment is to embarrass the silver
men by loading down their original prop
osition with an amendment looking to the
attachment of the elections bill to the ap
propriation bill as a rider.
UEA.UY INTRODUCES A NEW BILL.
Washington, Ifeb. 9.—Representative
Geary of California to-day introduced in

bill. Farquhar Rays that the recent edi
torial in the Chicago Tribune in favor of
the shipping bill, because of the reciproc
ity agreement with Brazil, has caused six
or seven members from the Northwestern
States to change front, and they have sig
nified their intention of voting for the
shipping bill. General Spinola, of New
York, who has all along expressed him
self as opposed to the bill, is now ready
to support it. Farquhac is greatly elated,
and is confident of his bill's success.
Alcoholic Liquors.
Washington, Feb. 9.—Reperesentative
J. D. Taylor, of Ohio, to-day reported to
the House from the Committee on Alco
holic Liquor Traffic, a bill to prohibit im
portation and exportation and interstate
transportation in violation of local laws
relative to alcohol beverages.
The report accompanying the bill says
public safety and public morals will not

ruling power of this republic. Taylor
also reported favorably from tho same
committee a joint resolution prohibiting
| the manufacture, importation, exporta
| tion, transportation and sale of all alco
holic liquors as beverages in the United
States, and in every place subject to its
jurisdiction.
Senator Hearst Growing Weaker.
Washington, Feb. 9.—Senator Hearst's
condition is more unfavorable to-night
than any time for the last week or more.
The rainy weather had a depressing effect
upon him, and the fact tliut he is growing
weaker is 1 apparent to all.
LITERARY CRITICISM.
Tho Personal Equation In Book
Notices.
The question of criticism, writes Arlo
Bates in the January " Book-Buyer," is
one which will be discussed, it "is sup
posed, as kmji as there are folk who write
books and folk who write about them. It
happened not very long since that a knot
of authors in Boston were talking on tiiis
well-known theme, and v writer who
chanced to be the oldest of those present
advanced the theory that in America we
have no criticism.
"We have more honesty in book notices
in America," lie asserted, "than they
have in England or in France, but wo
do not have Criticisms for all tint. Wo
have the expression of personal opinion."
"Why thai here more than theref lie
was aked.
"Because in the Old World," he re
plied, "they have always traditions, and
tlies!?, if not ahraya sound, are at least
something definite; Boidetbine which is
In the natase of a criterion. This neces
sarily establishes the habit of referring to
authority instead of giving one's per
sonal impressions of a book."
" But is that necessarily bettor?" some
one put in.
"Xo," he replied, smiling at being
thus snapped up, " 1 am not prepared to
say tint it is. I did not start out to com
pare i ho two systems, but simply to indi
cate what sccktiodi to me <o i.c i'he diif.-i
--enco. It is in this country so maeh the
personal ULtte of the criiic that it is ohkv
for a man who is at all fiuniliar with th'j
matter to tell beforehand Just how ■
given book will strike a given critic.
More than once when I have bad occasion
to read a Ms. for a publisher I have said
to him, 'This will please .-such a critic and
displease such another.' and that without
any reference tj tuc merit of Umthing.
lam not often mistaken. It is not ditli
cult to tell where to l.iuk f<j; .•.muii'cnda
tion and where for braHw ha paper* w
magasMsof practically the same stand
ing. The personal equation is too strong
to be mistaken."
As there were several critics present,
this opinion was not allowed to pitas
without a good deal of comment, most of
it in opposition. It was one of those
things which are easily said, yet which it
is equally dillicult to prove or to disprove.
That'there is some truth in it one might
allow without going too far, but how
much more is true every man must de
cide for himself.
But It "Was ft Daring Scheme and
Hardly Worth the Trouble.
I heard the other day a good story
which my informant believes to be true.
I give it for what it is worth, says a
writer in the New York Star.
A young man about town made a bet
of $3)0 that he could visit a number of
fiishionable receptions on a single after
noon and carry otf 3500 worth of silver
ware. According to the terms of the bet
he was not to visit any house where he
was known. He merely picked out a list
of receptions from a society paper, called
a cab and started on his predatory expe
dition. At the first house he was about
to take a silver-mounted brush from the
men's dressing-room when an applica
tion of the teeth convinced him that the
article was not worth the risk. Accord
ingly he dropped the brush and contented
himself with some Other article. He vis
it <xl three or lour places, and at each took
something of value. Finally, just after
he had slipped several spoons into his
pocky* at one pl.iee a big man with a
D—vyWiHWtafheafflid to him: "Have you
everything you want?"' Affecting to un
derstand the pther to refer to tho eatables,
he of the bet answered: "Yes, thank you.
I'll not cut anything more." When the
young mas left the house, his questioucr,
who was a detective, saw him get into a
cab and heard the instructions given to
the driver. When the maker of tho bet
arrived at the noxt house ho went to tho
dressing-room and promptly began pock
eting silver. Hut in the midst of this the
detective emerged from under the bed
and attempted to arrest the supposed
thief. Tne latter, however, being an
athlete, shook off the detective, tripped
him up, and when those in the house
reached the scene, succeeded in persuad
ing every one that the detective was the
guilty man. This accomplished, the younc
man hastened home, did up his thunder
in packages addressed to the owners, and
sent each home by a messenger boy, cau
tioned to deliver his package and answer
no questions. The audacious young man
won the bet and escaped arrest.
There is no portrait of Christ which can
be pronounced authentic. The Jews were
forbidden by their law to make like
nesses, and so art, as we understand tho
word, scarcely had among them an exist
ence. There are, however, two portraits
which have the merit of extreme an
tiquity, and were both probably made at
some time in the first century. The one
is cut on an emerald, the work purport
ing to have been done by command of
the Emperor Tiberius. The jewel was
preserved in the treasury of Constanti
nople, but in some way fell into the
hands of the Turks before that city was
taken them, and about 1453 was given by
the Sultan to Pope Innocent VIII. as a
ransom for the Sultan's brother. The
other portrait is on a fine brass medal dis
covered in Anglcsea, Wales, in the year
1702. The workmanship is that of' the
first century, and a Hebrew inscription
on the reverse declares the portrait to be
that of the prophet Jesus. The two por
traits bear a close resemblance, but it is
altogether probable that both are ideal,
and that each followed the description of
Christ given in the well-known, but not
well-authenticated letter of Publius Leu
tulus. The napkin portrait called St. Ve
ronica's is much mone modern, and is
probably a copy of the emerald likeness.
Ho Thought So.
A middle-aged woman called at a drug
store the other evening and asked for
morphine, and the clerk replied to her
request with:
"Is it for your husband?"
"Oh, no, sir; I haven't pot any."
"You don't think of suicide?"
"Far from it."
"What do you take it for?"
"Must I tell, sir?"
"You must."
"Well, then, don't you think tbat a
woman 40 years old, who has had her tirst
offer of marriage less than an hour ago
naturally wants something to quiet her
nerves and give her a good night's
sleep?"
The druggist thought so, and she eot
her nerve-aoother.

Seeing Faults.
An Invalid from the North about to visit
a Southern winter resort received a letter
of introduction from a friend to an elderly
lady, one of the most prominent people of
the place she was to visit.
"Mrs. Mi 116," the' writer of the letter
said, as she gave it to the traveler, "is
over 70 years old, and has been for fifteen
years unable to walk; but she still keeps
up her interest in books., in politics and
in the church. In her wheeled chair she
visits her friends and the poor, and every
where carries with her more energy, wit
and cheerfulness than fall to the lot of
many young people. Do learn to know
and love her."
The stranger obeyed the injunction,
and in a few weeks was the intimate com
panion of the charming old gentle
woman.
"One day, opening her letters before
Mrs. Mills, she gave an exclamation of
astonishment and annoyance.
"\Vhat is wrong?" asked Mrs. Mills.
"Nothing. Another letter concerning
you from another friend."
"May I see it?"
The visitor tried to evade tho request,
but the letter was road.
"You will find in Rose Valley a remark
able old woman of 70, who goes about
everywhere in a wheeled chair seeking
gossip to devour. s»he has been a beauty
in her day, and stilt adorns her withered
form and features with as much care as if
she were but 10. Her eyes are keen and
her tongue sharp. She clings desperately
to this world and the things of it. It is
terrible to see her interested in the last
book or last election atan age when other
women are thinking only of the collin
and the grave."
Mrs. Mills laid down the letter, smiling
gently.
"It is all true, my dear. We all have a
black side, and your friend is one of tho
people who have eyes to see it."

SALUTING WITH THE NOSE.
The Practice as It Exists In DMBhmbU
Countries.
Tho junction of noses is so general, and
described as so forcible iv Africa and
< ».iaiiica, as to have given rise to a lhnci
!ul theory that it had occasioned the flat
tening of the noses of the peoples. Hut
in the accounts of many of the tribes of
the Dark Continent and of the islanders
oj New Zealand, Kitmima, Tahiti, Tonga,
Hawaii and other groups the essential
action does not seem to bo that of either
pressure or rubbing, but of mutual moil
ing. It is true that the travelers gener
ally call it nibbing, font the motion and
procure are sometunes no greater than
that of tho muzzles of two dogs making
or cementing acquaintance. The pressure
and rub are secondary and emphatic
The juncture only means the cumpfltnent,
" You smoll very good." it Is illustrated
in the Navigator group when the noses <.t
friends are sainted with a long ana bearty
rub and the expliiuaiory words, "(jood!
very good; lam hajfttv now !'' The Cal
liiucks also go through a suggestive pan
tomime of greetinjrjß which they creep
on their knees to each other and then
join noses, a.-< much,as possible like the
the two dogs before Mentioned.
In the Navigator Islands only equals
mutually rub their übscs. Tho "inferior
rubs his own nose on and smells the su
perior's hand. The respectful greeting of
Fiji is to take and smell the hand of the
superior wiiout rubbing it. In the
Gambia when the men salute the women
the put the woman's hand up to their
noses and smell twfe'e at the back of it.
In the Friendly Islands noses arc joined,
adding the ceremony of taking the hand
of the person to whom civilities are paid
and rubbing it with a degree of force
upon the saluter's own nose and mouth.
The Mariana Islanders formerly smelled
at the hands of those to whom they
wished to tender homage. Captain
Reechy describes of the Sandwich
Islanders: "The lips are drawn inward
between the teeth, the nostrils are dis
tended, and the lungs are widely inflated
the face (a then pushed forward, the noses
brought into contact, and the ceremony
concludes with a hearty rub."— Uarrie'k

How to Draw Nails and Spikes.
W hrn a nail or spike has been driven
into a live tree or into timber, after a year
or more the fibers of the wood will have
contracted so tightly about the metal that
it will he exceedingly diffleult to with
draw the iron. Hut strike a nail or spiko
a sharp blow with a hammer and drive
it in a trifle, so as to break the wood fibers
mound the metal, and a nail can be with
drawn with only a little force. Iron
Kate hinges are frequently driven into v
living tree. When one is not in posses
sion of a large and strong claw-bar, bore
a hole dose to the hinge on the under
side, and the. hinge can be easily crowded
down into the hole and withdrawn
\\ lien a large nail has been driven head
and all beyond tho surface of tho timber
bore a hole close to tho nail, and with v
nail-set crowd the nail into the hole
When nails have become rusty, they will
usually break in two. leaving a portion
of the iron in the timber. Hut strike a
rusty nail a sharp blow, and one can
sometimes withdraw it with his fingers
In tearing down an old building, if it is
desirable to take off the boards or casings
without splitting them, place a nail-set
pa the head of each nail, and with a ham
mer start it inward about an eighth of an
inch. One blow will break the hold of
the nail so that most of the nails will
come out when the boards arc driven off
