It is proposed by several senators to perfect a general law either relinquishing the amounts unpaid or authorizing the secretary of the treas ury Jto return to each state the full amount originally paid. The New i'ork .Sun of tho 3d flnys: 'The recent inspection of the Northorn Pacific from St. Paul to Portland appears to have developed a number of facts which will hardly fascinate the stockholders with the practical management of the road. It seems to have partaken of the nature of an opera bouffo. Fiftoen suiuptuouB private coaches of what aro described as a palatial character, were discovered at different points of the road, awaiting tho use of offioials for whom they were built. The whole road is said to be overloaded with the most extrava gant rolling stock, and the machine shops to have furnished the most amusing dis closures. The inspection seems to have b6en undertaken at the instance of th6 nw directory and Drexol, Morgan & Co. Senator Dolph, from the committee on public lands, has reported an amendment to Ihu agricultural appropriation bill, which, on his motion, was referred to the committee on appropriations, for incor poration in that measure when passed by the house. The amendment proposed to appropriate $ 10,000 each for Oregon and Nevada, to be used in locating and sink ing artesian wells in those states. These wells are designed to test whether large sections of country in eastern Oregon and Nevada can be watered by artesian wells. The matter was first suggested to Senator Dolph by John Minto, who be lieves a sybtem of wells would be n suc cess. The amendment provides that no part of -the money shall be used on pri vate lands, belonging to individuals, but only on government or public lands. The Philadelphia Press New York special of the 3d says: "For several weeks a change in the management of the Oregon and Transcontinental has been in contemplation. A. syndicate of New Yorkers, who about 1.000.000 shares of tho stock, being aware that President Endicott's position was distasteful to him, approached him on the subject of a change, and he was understood to agree to resign when called upon. Brayton Ives, a well known and resposible banker. was chosen by tho Now York syndicate to succeed, Endicott. Considerable stock was purchased by the New Yoikers, who were favored with inside information. Endicott purchased a passage for him self and family to Europe, and every thing .was about to be consummated when Endicott announced that he would not resign for some weeks at least. This is regarded bv the New Yorkers as equiv alent to a permanent change of mind, and there is some quiet but emphatic criticism of Endicott's action. The lat ter was 'not in to.wu to-day, The New Yorkers are indignant at the removal of the office of the company to Boston, and it is believed there will bo a contest for control cf the company in June." He Xerer Wore BpoU, Two prominent capitalists recently talking of their early experiences, one remarked that he had made all he possessed by carefully attending other people's business and wearing his clothes out. "Well," replied the other, "I made my money by attending to my own busi ness and saving what I earned.

According to Dan De Quille, of the Coinstock, the1 Cceur d'Alene miner has quite an original -plan for balling his mines. He shows the new arrival a piece of quartz, and asks him if ho can see gold in it. When the tenderfoot says he can see no gold, tbe miner puts a pistol to his noso and again asks him whether ho can Reo gold, and the tenderfoot swears the rock is alive with gold. In the spring it will be necessary to sell some of the claims in the same way. Sam Stott, while fishing in tho Sandv a day or two since, hooked and landed what ho claims to be a genuine Chinook salmon weighing six pounds. Ho was fishing with salmon roe for bait, and soon after hooked another salmon much larger, which ran out into the swift current and broke loose. When asked why he did not give him more lino; Mr. Stott said; "I gave him all I had, and then he broke it." Several Chinook salmon, and many other species were taken with a hook at Oregon City last season, and it seems, says the Oregonian, that notwithstanding all reports to tha contrary, Balmon will take the fly in the streams of Oregon. Fishermen will have to heel themselves with an eighteen-foot rod, salmon reel, and 103 yards of line, and then there will be some aport in fishing for them. The Seattle Chronicle of Wednesday says: Yesterday afternoon Miss Edith Ewiug, a young lady who for several months past has been stopping at the residence of George. Stetson, committed suicide by taking a quantity of strych nine. The young lady's people live in Oakland, California. Sbo was an artist, and came up here with Mrs. -Post upon her return from the East. When Miss Ewiug purchased the strychnine she was asked by the druggist what she desired to do with it, to whioh she replied that Mrs. Blaine, Mrs. Stetson's house-keeper, wanted it to kill rats with. The druggist states that she was perfectly collected and cool, and did not betray by voice or look the faintest suspicion of her des perate intention. When it was discov ered that she had taken the poison every effort to restore her was made but with out effect, and she died in terrible agony. HOTEL AKEIFALS. OCCIDENT. C B Stokes, Enapa -THTop.

About twelve years ago one of tho best known newspaper reporters in New York was Tom Cook. Many of the men who ground outjthe news for the dailies in Tom Cook's days have passed uway, some died, others succeeded in getting out of the most exacting and most wearing of pursuits, and became rich and happy, but none were hanged. Tom is some where in California, and those who re member him will perhaps wonder how he passed so quietly from his old stamping ground, and was soon forgotten. Tom was a terror to Bpace writers wherever he was employed. He was a re porter on the Sun when that newspaper nad a phenomenal staff of newsgatherers. He was tall,angular,ind awkward. a3 dark as an Indian, and with hair, moustache and eyes of the blackest kind. There was nothing slow about Tom. Ho was always on the rash, whether talking walking, or writing, sua .rns t.ie mot tireless writer of his time. ..tu,ntTr assigned to work up u mystery or i uir dor case, or a politicial or sooial event, his fellow reporters threw aside their pons and started out. It would have been a waste of time for them to write anything while Tom was at work upon his assignment. It was always safe to wager money that he would fill the first, page and a portion of the third of a four page newspaper, such as tho Sun. It was fortunate, however, for the rest of the reporters in the same office that Tom was not favored with an assignment every day. When diagrams were in order Tom was never behind time, and he be came not only a terror to the space men, but a terror to the compositors as well. The murder that might havo been unin viting and commonplaco to an ordinary reporter became in Tom's eyes the most fiendish and mysterious of all crimes. Columns were given up to his story, and the ordinary reporter gasped for breath. Tom at last tired of one thing, and that was the unceasing wars made upon him by jealous competitors in tho race for bread in the Sun office, and he packed up his family and household effects and started for San Francisco. Charley De Young, afterward murdered by young Kalloch, was in 1875 in the height of his power as editor of the Chronicle and had urged Tom to accept lhepo3itirnof man aging editor of his paper. He asked Tom to stop over in St. Louis for a day or twoj gather some facts concerning tbe early life of Pickering, one of the pro prietors of the Call, and write a few un savory paragraphs for the Chronicle. Tom, of course, stopped over in St. Louis as directed, gathered some facts, and sent to De Young eighteen columns of matter in relation to Pickering's career in, that city. Do Young's amazement upon tho receipt of this package of man script was never fitly described. He sent telegrams to Tom to "let up" and pro ceed at once to San Francisco. When Tom landod there ho soon dis covered that Do Young had been unsuc cessful in his efforts to "bounce" his old time managing editor, Timmins, and that the said Timmins bod determined to hold the fort against Tom. The New York terror was sadly disappointed. His arrival in San Francisco hud been dis cussed by all the reporter, and they de nounced in vigorous langiigoin public places De Young's latest "importation" from New York. They were of the opin ion that San Francisco could furnish her own managing editors without looking to New York for them. Tom visited the office daily in the hope of securing the chair occupied by Timmins. He furn ished no matter for the paper for three weeks after his arrival. Ho had been de ceived and insulted, and was in a rage over the situation of affairs'. None of the San Francisco reporters know of his reputation in Now York us the writer of eighteen-columu reports. His ability to do good work was'never discovered until he took his first assignment as a reporter. The city editor in a careless way gave Tom a live-line paragraph relating to some tide-lands, aud nuked him to look it up. On tho following day the entire first page of the paper was covered with Tom s report, with diagrams and flaming head-lines. Editors and reporters looked at each other in alann, und all San Fran cisco arose as one man, and shrieked, " For Heaven's sake what has hap pened t" Tom was the lion of the hour. He had unearthed one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated m ban rrancisco, and tbe guilty ones thirsted for Tom's gore.
