Many idle woman keep their houses
in such a state of filthiness that it is
dangerous to tho health to enter,
whilst their families aro in rnga when

every case arises from idloncss and
intemporanco.
Ir is now proved that north latitude
Is receding la Berlin and advancing
on our Pacific shores at tbo rate of
six inches per annum! Six inches in
the inclination of tho poles of tho
earth! it is di:t cult to believe that a
change relatively so minute is capable
of demonstration. Wo shall have to

The Yosemite valley Is a grand
spectacular combination of mountain
demos and spires with far-leaping
cataracts and cascades of all varieties.
The trouble is to get through with tho
two days’ hard singing and horse-
back riding aflor tho railway is left
behind in tho Sierra foothills, and ro-
liance placed in tne virtues of mus-
tangs and glyeorina But nn Ingen-
ious California professor thinks ho has
solved the problem of rapid transit to
the valley. The Mercod river, which
runs through it, falls many thousand
feet in the first twenty milos and will
generate an abundant Supply of mo-
tive power for an electric road along
its banks. It is to bn hoped that this
plan will not result in turning tho
Yosemlto into a tame manufacturing

however, does not want to master a
whole language To know enough
French to feel at home in Franco to
bo able to go about In it without ever
being at a loss to understand what is

on the railway; to read a French

IMPORTANT OPINION TO RAILROADS'
The Proponed ChanKM In the TurlfT on
Sugar and Other Commodities In Kan*
•an Held to He Contrary to Jus-
tice and Equity—The Case to
He Appealed — Ilrlef His-
tory of the Case.
Most educated persons havo ob*
served that while with tho help of
grammars and dictionaries they may
be able to read it foreign languugo,
and even to write it in a stiff academi-
cal way. they can seldom spealc it
fluently or understand it readily when
spoken unless they havo learned it by
tho ear. The distinguished oriental
1st Prof. Palmer of the university of
Cambridge, who was murdered in
Northwestern Arabia during tho war
Against Arabl Pasha acquired in the
course of a few months tho power of
epeaking Arabic, and of understand-
ing it when spoken. Dy talk ng day
After day with Arab sailor* in the
JLondon docks. He would ask them
questions about their vessels and
their cargoes and they would point
to particular objects and describo
them in their own tongue. That is to
say. he learned Arabic precisely na
when a little child, ha had learned
English, and tho result was an un-
rivalled mastery of the language as
ah instrument of communication be-
tvooa mouth and ear.
Atchison, Ivan., Aug. 15—The mo-
tion to dissolve the temporary injunc-
tion in the ease of the Symns grocer
company of Atchison and others sim-
ilarly situated against the state board
of ruilroad commissioners and six rail-
road companies operated in Kan-
sas, was overruled this morning
by Judge Robert M. Eaton of
the district court The suit was
brought to enjoin the commissioners
and the railroad companies from put-
ting into effect an order of the com-
missioners, issued March 5, 1892,
changing the rates heretofore estab-
lished on sugar, coffee, beans and
canned goods from Atchison, Leaven-
worth, Kansas City and Fort Scott to
Hutchinson, Wichita. Salina a ad
Arkansas City in car load lots.
Prior to July, 1891, and up to the
present time, the four articles men-
tioned were transported by all rail-
roads west of the Mississippi river
under Western classification as tifth
class if in car load lots and fourth
class in less than ear load lots, the
difference in rates being live cents per
100 pounds. Under the present
schedule the rate on tho articles
named in cur load lots from Missouri
river points to Wichita is 30 cents, to
Hutchinson 30 cents, to Salina 29 cents
and to Arkansas City 42 cents; nnd in
less than car load lots to Wichita 41
cents, to Hutchinson 41 cents, to
Saiina 34 cents, to Arkansas City
49 cents. Under the order of
March 5 the articles named
were taken out of the fifth class
and given a commodity rate as follows:
Sugar in car load lots from tho Mis-
souri river to Wichita, Hutchinson, Sa-
lina and Arkansas City, 15 cents, ou
coffee, beans and canned goods in car
load lots to Wichita 25 cents,to Hutch-
inson 23 cents, to Salina 22 cents aiul
to Arkansas City 28 cents. The forth
class or less than car load lots remain
as they are, making a difference in the
rate between car load ami less than
car load lots on sugar to Wichita and
Hutchinson of 20 cents and on
cofiee, beans and canned goods 10
cents; to Salina, on sugar 19 cents and
on coffee, beans and canned goods 12
cents; to Arkansas City, on sugar 31
cents and on the other articles 21
rents. It is this great disparity of
rates between car load and less than
car load lots that the plaintiff claimed
was unreasonable and unjust and
would, if the order should go into
effect, discriminate against Missouri
river points in favor of interior towns.
The court holds that as the four
articles in controversy are not pro-
duced in the state, except at a few
places, and the profit on them is small,
and the retail merchant will purchase
them where he buys his other
goods, it follows that unless
the wholesale dealer can sell
thes articles, his trade in other com-
modities will fall off. The railroad
commissioners have no right to inter-
fere with or make a rate which in any
way afjocts au interstate rite on such
products.
“If it be conceded,” the decision
concludes, “that the present rates are
discriminative in favor of Missouri
liver jobbers, as is claimed by the
defendants, it cannot be remedied by
making greater discrimination against
them, for two wrongs never
make a right. The Jutersfatc com-
merce commission in the case
of Thurber, et al., against the New
York Central and Hudson River rail
road company, held that a difference
in rates upon car load lots and less
than car load lots of the same merchan-
dise between the same points of car-
riage so wide ns to be destructive to
competition between large and small
dealers, especially upon articles of
general use, and which under existing
conditions of trade furnish a large
volume of business to carriers, is un-
just nnd violates the provisions and
principles of the act regulat-
ing commerce between states. This
principle applies with equal force
between points in the same
state. The right of the plaintiff to a
temporary injunction accrued when a
hearing Was denied to them by the
commissioners, the order became a
continuing trespass and a court of
equity will interpose 10 prevent a mul-
tiplicity of suits.”

St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 15.—Attorney
General Clapp, in a decision yesterday,

London, Aug, 13.—In the house of
commons last night, after long drawn
out speeches from Mr. Joseph
Chamberluin, leader of the Liberal
Unionists, Sir John Lubbock and others,
a vote was reached on Mr. Herbert
Henry Asquith's motion of “no confi-
dence” in the government. Tne mo-
tion prevailed by the vote of 350 to 315.
The house divided ut midnight.
When Mr. Gladstone returned from
the lobby the whole Liberal party
arose and cheered him. The tellers
uppoared ad 12:23 a. m. with the pa-
per containing the numbers showing
the results of the division and handed
the paper to a Liberal whip. This
was a signal for a volley of Liberal
cheers aud Irish shouts of “Mitehels-
town,” “down with Balfour-
isin,” etc., and it was some
time before Mr. Merely was able
to announce the figures. The result
announced was, for the motion, 350;
against the motion, 315. Then there
was a fresh display of enthusiasm.
When the noise subsided, Mr. Balfour
and the whole body of Conservatives
rose and made prolonged acclaims.
Mr. Balfour moved that the house ad-
journ until Thursday next The mo-
tion was agreed to.
If last night’s proceedings in parlia-
ment had not been invested with the
historic interest attached to the fall of
the government the house would not
have tolerated the dullcss of the de-
bate. The gravity of the occasion
was seen in the crowds wait-
ing in the palace yard
till past midnight, the groups
tilling the lobbies and packed in the
galleries within the house. For the
first time since the night in 1SS0 when
Mr. Gladstone first introduced home
rule, chairs had to be brought in to
seat the members blocked out of the
galleries. For the first time in the
history of the British parliament did
the members muster their full strength
within ten.
The pecrs’gallery was well occupied.
The diplomatic gallery was so full that
Messrs. Lincoln, the American min-
ister, and Hatsfeldt, the German em-
bassador, who arrived late, found
scats with some difficulty.
The cabinet has been summoned to
meet at noon to-day and Lord Salis-
bury will leave at 1 p. m. for Osborne
house. After formally resigning Lord
Salisbury will remain at Osborne
house for the night. Mr. Gladstone
will see the queen on Saturday.
Sir William Vernon Ilarcourt haf
accepted the post of chancellor of the
exchequer in the new cabinet. Mr.
Gladstone lias cooled down toward his
former favorite, Mr. Fowler, owing to
the latter’s want of energy during tne
electoral period.

Engineers Will Not Aid the Striker*.
Cleveland, 0., Aug. 13.—Grand
Chief Engineer 1\ M. Arthur of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers was interviewed con-
cerning the reported inten-
tion of the advisory board
of the Amalgamated association to re.
quest all train operatives, including the
engineers, to refuse to transport ma-
terial made by or intended for the Car-
negie company.
•'The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers,” said Mr. Arthur, “is
under a contract with nearly every
road in the country to haul its trains
so long as the companies live
up to the terms of their agree-
ments. We regard these contracts as
sacred and not to be broken under any
circumstances. As a matter of course
there is nothing in the agreement
which would warrant us in taking such
action as you have indicated. My per-
sonal opinion is that the brotherhood
will take no action.*’
Hue* the Pinkerton* for S'jO.OOO.
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 13.—The
first suit in the local courts growing
out of the riot at Homestead was
begun yesterday by William R.
Lelar against Robert A. 1‘inker-
ton and William A. Pinkerton.
Lelnr says he was employed by the
Pinkertons to act as a watchman at
certain buildings in the state of New
York, to which the defendants “then
and there falsely and deceit-
fully pretended to he con-
ducting the plaintiff, but the
precise location of which the plaintiff
was not informed by the Pinkertons."
As the result of being forced to run
the gauntlet through the mob one of
his vital organs was permanently in-
jured. Twenty thousand dollars dam-
ages are claimed.

Commuting tho tontoooo.
Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 18.—H.
Clay King arrived here safely this
morning and was at once placed in the
penitentiary. His journey was with-
out incident.
Governor Buchanan was called upon
this morning and asked for his reasons
for commuting the sentence. He said:
“First. I thought that King should
have had a change of venue. Affida-
vits to the effect that Juror Smith had
communicated with outside parties
and expressed an opinion about the
case were filed with me. These
affidavits could not be in-
troduced in the court of ^ re-
cord because it was too late. The
action of Juror Mustine and of the jury
in going to Arkansas to deliberate
upon the case had their weight. The
dissension of one of the supreme judges
in the defense of partial insanity, the
pleadings of his wife aud children and
the most prominent men of tho
country, besides the hundreds of let-
ters and petitions—those were my
reasons for commuting the sentence.
1 ain responsible for my action. I
thought I was doing right and I acted
according to ray belief.”
The governor then showed a petition
signed by twenty-six United States
senators and congressmen.

Egan has definitely agrc^l with the
Chilian government upon a convention
for the settlement of unadjusted

ing for a long time. No general claims
convention lias ever been celebrated

a century, though the greater portion
of them have their origin in

years ago. Mr. Egan reports

ian government has met him in the
most friendly spirit. Much satisfaction

The Kolbe Men Resort to

St. Louis, Mo.,Aug. 12.—The nation-
al People's party headquarters to-day
were crowded with enthusiastic work-
ers, all of whom were jubilant over
a telegram received, jiud its
contents verified by a letter,
that Judge Gresham had concluded to
take the stump in the interest of the
third party, and would make his open-
ing speech at Indianapolis the latter
part of this month.
* Chairman Taubeneek received this
intelligence from the chairman of the
state committee of Indiana, to whom
Judge Gresham had written declaring
his intentions und setting forth his
reasons for making a campaign in the
interests of General Weaver. In his re-
port to the national headquarters the
Indiana chairman said that Judge
Gresham in apprising him of his in-
tentions informed him by letter that
he did not refuse the presidential
nomination because he was not in
sympathy with the party, but for
reasons that were entirely personal
aud not political.
“How do you like that for a piece of
news?” said Mr. Taubeneek. **()ne
speech from Gresham, no matter
whether he makes more than one in
our favor, setting forth tho object of
our organization and indorsing our
platform means over 50,0U0 votes for
the People's party that we would have
been unable to control otherwise.
With a Battering prospect now in In-
diana and the reports received from
the South and with the silver states
behind us, we have good cause to feel
hopeful.”
Chairman Taubeneek was asked to
give out the letter, but refused to do
so.

nominees on the fusion state ticket
from governor down, and two aspir-
ants for congress to address the ratifi-
cation meeting here last night, the at-
tendance was decidedly disappointing.
Not one of the Democrats nominated
on the fusion county ticket helped to
swell the audience.
Chuirman J. W. Breidenthal of the
People’s party state central committee
arrived this morning and spent just
one hour in hearing what had been
proposed at the conference of can-
didates yesterday, but the only thing’
any of those who attended the caucus
will say is that the candidates will in-
sist on the removal of headquarters
from Enterprise to Topeka, and that
tliq executive committee of the state
central committee must be increased
by the addition of at least two sharp
outside political workers.
There is evidently a strong desire on
the part of the state candidates to
bring about a settlement of congres-
sional matters in the Second district,
as a more solid Democratic support
will be necessary to insure
success. Close is said to be
ready to retire in the First
district at any time. Before leaving
here King of the Second admitted that
at the meeting at Olathe next week,
when congressional and county com-
mittees of both parties in the Second
district will meet,changes might trans-
pire that would prove beneficial to the
fusionists.
Iowa's People's Party Convention.
Des Moines, la., Aug. 12.—The Peo-

lows: W. K. Drake, F. A. .1. Gray, T.
E. Mann, Milo Reno, Captain Kendel-
man, N. II. Bowman, T. A. Laska and
J. S. Bartholomew. The selections

keep in the middle of the road.

No Peace for Mr. Searles.
New York, Aug. 12.—Announcement
to-day that the relatives of the late
Mrs. Ilopkins-Searles were about to
bring suit against her husband for
what they considered their fair share
in the estate caused surprise in
this city. The relatives declare that
after he had made a settlement with
Timothy Hopkins, Mrs. Searle's
adopted son, Mr. Searles promised
them each 825,000 if they would
not oppose the admission of the will
to probate. There are forty-one rela-
tives of Mrs. Searles, and they, it is
said, propose to join issue and do what
they can legally to gain that oit off
which they assert they havo been
cheated.

redr.ced. Yesterday 100 armed Kolbe
men inarched into town and declared
their intention of killing the probate
judge, sheriff and circuit clerk, who
constituted the returning board. The
sheriff summoned a posse and a riot
was prevented.
