BEATDfO THE LAW.
Tho Bs 11 roads Find a Way to Got Aroaad
tho "So Fooling" Claaae.
Chicago, May 6. Transcontinental
railroad people have hit npon a plan to
get around the "no pooling" clause of
the interstate commerce law, which, if
successful will serve the same purpose ss
oling. Instead of allowing the Pacific
ail and the Canadian Pacific compa
nies a percentage of the traffic or paying
them a cash subsidy, the proposition is
to allow them to make such differential
rates to and from Pacific points as to
insure them the same amount of traffic
as if they guaranteed a per cent or given
subsidy. In fact California roads propose
to recognize the Transcontinental asso
ciation on substantially the eld basis,
except that the pooling question be elim
inated.

Cannibal Qaeea.
Washington, May 6. The evening pa
pers yesterday announce with uniform
phraseology: "Secretary Lamar is con
fined to his residence with neuralgia in
the face." Some of his friends claim it
to be an excuse to the president and Mrs.
Cleveland for not attending their dinner
to Queen Kapiolani at tbe White house
to-night, when, in fact, he intends to ab
sent himself for the reason that he is un
willing to sit at the table with a black
woman. His particular friends say:
"The secretary has no prejudice against
her highness, but has refused to put
himself on a social level with colored
folks of Mississippi or elsewhere. He
does not intend to do so."

Tho Civil Sorrteo Kates Kxtoojaod. aa4 a
WOg Bow iralaan
WACKixero, May 7. The civil service
eoaunlsskn bare adopted roles whereby
those who were in the departmental ser
vice when the civil service law was
enacted will be subjected to examination
in each case for promotion. It has cre
ated immense excitement in department
al circlea among the friends of those now
possessing the positions therein. If the
new regulations are correctly given by
the press, they amount to direct nullifica
tion of the law as enacted by congress.
It will be remembered those departments
are exempted for two particular reasons
first, because it was assamed that the
efficiency of those then in the service bad
been ascertained before the law passed
by the service they bad already rendered :
second, because most of them were sol
diers, and to compel these veterans to
compete with boys fresh from school
would be an outrageous tnck devised for
apurpose and driving them into private

Work oa tho Two New Monitor ahoat
Completed according- to Contract.
Washington, May 7. Work under tbe
contract on the monitors Terror and Am
phitrite is practically finished. The
navy department is now considering the
nature of the tests that these machines
of maritime warfare must successfully
undergo before tbev will be accepted by
the government. The contracts provide
for a thorough sea trial -for tbe mon
itors, as well as for the cruisers;
bat this requirement will doubtless be
waived as it was in the case of the mon
itor Puritan which was built by John
Roach. Although the work contracted
for has been executed the vessels are not
vet in a seaworthy condition. Their
decks are not laid, they are not yet pro
vided with steering gear, the sides' just
above Uie water line are filled witn
bolt holes left by the contract
ors to secure armor bolts which will
not be ready for a long time yet. By the
use of temporary devices, however, these
difficulties might be overcome, and the
vessels could then be made ready for a
sea test; it would require at least two
months work and a laige outlay of money
to do this. It has been, therefore, vir
tually decided to confine the tests to a
dock trial of the engines. If this results
satisfactorily, tlis monitors will most
likely be accepted by tne navy depart
ment.

Stato la tho Load.
Washington, May 10. Tbe report of
the department of agriculture for May, as
to the condition of winter grain, indicates
a decline in the condition of wheat of two
points since April 1st, the general aver
age for the whole country being 86. The
changes in condition have not been uni
form throughout, some states showing an
increase, but the majority a slight decline,
and a few a neavy falling off. Drought
has reduced the average somewhat in tbe
eastern gulf states, and has wrought very
serious damage in Texas and Arkansas,
lowering the condition 19 and 10 points,
respectively. Favorable temperature and
seasonable rains have improved prospects
in Tennessee, West Virginia, and Ken
tucky, the condition being considerably
hizher than in May of the last fire years.
The mostfcerioui reduction is the decline
of eight points during the month in
Ohio. Michigan and Indiana show a
slight decline, and Illinois and Missouri
gain one point. Unfavorable weather in
Kansas and California has ' caused a
slight falling off, while in Oregon the
prospect has adraneed. Condition by
states is: New York, 9ft, Pennsylvania,
72, Maryland, 84, Virginia, 80, North
Carolina. 90. Texas. AO, Arkansas. 93.
Tennessee, 90, West Virginia, 89, Ken-
tacky, 95, Ohio, 71. Michigan, 90, Indi
ana, 87, Illinois, 93, Missouri, 90, Kansas,
81, California, 89. Oregon, 101 . The con
dition of barley is lower, average being
87.8.

Kentucky derby, the most prized of "all
western turf events, will take place
The race, which is for 3-year-old colts
and fillies, distance one and one-half
miles has never been more open to
speculation. Kach candidate has a full
quota of admirers, though Jim Gore and
lianhnrg are the lt thoughten. Lucky
1'aldwin, who arrived from California
last night, was interrogated as to his
derby candidates, l'endennis and (ioliah.
He slated that before starting from Cal
ifornia t'enoennis was, in his mind,
much trie ttetter of the two, and in a
trial mil and a half demonstrated his
superiority. He said as he had not yet
seen his trainer, he could not assert
whether loth horses would start Wednes
day or not. He had grave doubt as to
either of his horses' ability to beat Ban
burg, whom he thinks a greatly im
proved animal over bis 2-year-old form
A sick horse.
Chicago, May 10. A special from Lou
isville asserts that (ioliah has been cough
ing for the last few days, and it is hard
ly likely he will be sent to the post, as
L.uckv Baldwin has set bis heart on win
ning the American Derby at Chicago for
the third successive time. Good judges
who have seen Pendennisdo net consider
him as likely to be in at the death.thongh
it is undeniably true that his stable
stands to win a large amount on his
chances.

Chicago, May 10. Tbe Times says
After tho meeting of the transcontinental
lines, Stubbs, of the Southern Pacific,
and party went on to New York, stating
before they left that the Southern Pacific
would meet Uie competition of the Cana
dian Pacific, Pacific Mail and clipper
ships in its own wsy, whicn meant that
if these latter routes took anv business
they would get it at a loss. It was dis
covered that there was no possibility of
arranging with outside lines on a basis

not listen to any such compromise. If

STRAXOK PHENOMENON.
A Meteor Palla at Soa, Fallowed by a Storm
f Ion.
Naw Yoax, May 10. The captain of
the Dutch bark "J. P." had an experi
ence on March 19th which he thinks will
account for the recent marine losses.
Late in the afternoon, a huge meteor,
like two balls of fire, fell alongside the
ship with a great roar. When it struck
the water, it caused heavy breakers,
which rolled clear over the vessel. Im
mediately afterward solid lumps of ice
began to fall, which coated the decks
and rigging of the ship with an icy crust.
The side of the vessel where the meteor
fell appeared like black copper sheeting
wnicn nad been blistered.

THE -AVENGER."
Tbe Irishman Sent oyer to Haras
Caaa-
da's Governor General.
Montbxal, May 11. Wm. O'Brien,
editor of tbe United Ireland, arrived here
this morning. His journey was without
incident. At St. Johns, Quebec, a dep
utation from the Montreal National
League boarded the train. An immense
crowd was present on the arrival of the
train in this city, who cheered lustily as
Mr. O linen stepped on tne plstform.
An address of welcome a ss read by the
president of the National league of 'Mon
treal. Mr. O'Brien in reply thanked his
fellow-countrymen for their hearty recep
tion and predicted from his auspicious
beginning success to his mission. He
then went on to say : "I came not to of
fer offense to any section or class of Can
adian people, but quite the contrary. I
came not to muddle in Canadian affairs,
not to deal with the career of Lord
Lansdowne as governor general, but as
the exterminator of 500 human beings.
This !eing a free country we cannot ex
pect every body to agree with us, but I
believe we have such strength of justice
and truth upon our side that when all
have heard our story all will be con
vinced, and that the Canadian people
will stretch out their bands and save the
lives and properties of these 500 poor
tenants of Luggacarran, for boihareat
this moment at your mercy and in your
hands."
There was a tremendous rush to shake
hands with Mr. O'Brien at the conclus
ion of his seech. His first regular cam -paign
speech will be delivered this. even
ing. o'hries tiikeatfked at moxteeal.
Montreal, May 11. The Gazette yes
terday published an editorial warning
O'Brien that if he should insult the gov
ernor general he does it at his own risk.
It says: "The governor general stands in
the plae of the queen to us, and an in
sult to him in the way proposed is for
her. It is just such a crime of lese ma-
jestate as it would be in Kngland to wage
war of vituperation against her majesty.
We are bound in honor to protect him
against such insults; bound by the
strongest reasons of self respect and na
tional pride. As a landlord, having no
thing to do with Lord Lansdowne, we
don't want to know about his tenants, or
to hear his business discussed. The
people of Canada are not all Irish, and
have rights that should be resjectcd.
We greatly fear, if U'Brien persists, he
will provoke feelings totally different in
the order from those his rash design
contemplated."

Loxdos, May 9. The earl of Carnarvon
writes to the Times, suggesting that, as it
is intolerable to allow the Dillon
Times" question to rest in its present
state, a special tribunal will be created
outside of Parliament, invested with full
powers to call and examine witnesses,
and to which the decision of the matter
be left. While expressing its confideneo
in tbe impartiality of tbe proposed tribu
nal, the Times says: "It is doubtful
whether the Parnellites would consent to
submit their case to such tribunal ; but
why," it asks, "should ingenuity be ex
pended in devising amateur tribunals?
Is not the law of the land good enough
for Parnell and Dillon?"
