WASHINGTON LKTIKR.
(Prom our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C., July 80, 190:4,
That the long cherished dream of a
trip from New York to Palis by rail
may sometime be realized seems to be
indicated by the fact that a company
(lied with the Secretary of the Interior
a petition for his approval of porposed
route accross Atlaska. The projectors
of the new road are French and Russian
capitalists and American bankers.
Their scheme contemplates a tunnel
under Bering Straits and it is be
lieved that their petition is the fore
runner of a request addressed
to congress asking that the Bering
Sea and Straits bo neutralized so that
in time of war the tunnel could not
be used for military purposes, an un
doubtedly necessary condition to ob
taining sanction of Russia and the
United States to the construction of
such a tunnel. The plans contemplates
the construction of a rail line along the
Pacific coast to the farthest point of
Alaska, there to enter the tunnel re
ffered to and connect with the trains
Sibcrian railway.

Th »t Cubia will soon become a most
profitable market for the breeders of
pure bread stock is the confident pred
iction of the oilieals of the Department
j of commerce who have just issued a
translation of the Cuban teriff sched
ules refferring to this class of imporat
iofls. The anxiety of the Cuban to
build up their cattle industry is demon
strated by the fact that the expositions
of cattle is forbidden and practically
all purchased stock is admitted free of
duty. The free entry applies specially
t« cattle but stallions, “more than 4 feet
9 inches tall” will be admitted free and
mares suitable lor breeding purposes
will be taxed but 82.77 per head, offi
cers and others who have visited Cuba
assert that it will prove a valuable
market for lino stock fore some time to
come and should be cultivated by the
American breeders.

The president summoned assistant
Postmaster General Bristow to Oyster
Bay recently in order that he might
learn at llrst hand the progress to the
investigation. Numerous fallieious
stories have been published since
Mr. Bristow’s return but your corres
pondents is in a position to deny that
the President gave the slightest Indi
cation of wavering in the investigation.
On the contrary, he instructed Bristow
to pursue the investigation to the end
without fear or favor and to take
all the time necessary to do his work
well. The rumor that the Postmaster
General will resign from the Cabinet
at no distant date will not down, not
withstanding the fact that it lias been
denied from Oyeter Bay. There
are indications that Mr. Itoosevelt
would he glad to relieved Mr. Payne’s
services and, as in the case of Secretary
Long, as soon as the time comes when
it can be said that Mr. Payne did not
“resign under lire” it is pretty certain
his resignation will he forthcoming.

MADE THE PLEA TOO STRONG.
Two Over-Zealous Youngsters Work
ed Themselves Out of a Job.
The working members of a family
consisting of a father and two sons
found themselves out of employment.
After a diligent search, the youngest
son found employment on the Rox
borough filter plant, helping to dig
the excavations.
On the completion of the first day’s
work he asked Mr. McNichol to give
his brother a job. The contractor,
evor on the alert for good men, asked
the young man if his brother could
do as much work as he, and on the
strength of this recommendation the
elder brother was engaged.
The next day both brothers went
to to McNichol and pleaded to have
their father put on the job.
“Can your father do as much work
as either of you boys?” asked Mc
Nichol.
“Yes,” answered the brothers; “lie
can do as much work as both of us
together.”
“Very good," replied McNichol.
“Send your father around in the
morning and you two stay at borne.”—

ACCORDING TO HIS FOLLY.
Fresh Young Man Who Bantered a
Jap Answered in Kind.
A young Japanese compositor em
ployed on a Japanese paper hardly a
stone’s throw from the Mail and Ex
press building, was riding down town
in a city hail train the other morning.
He was engrossed in his morning
paper and paid little attention to the
other passengers. Ilut a fresh-looking
young man who sat next to him, and
who had been eyeing him all along,
suddenly said:
“What sort of a ‘nese’ are you, any
way? A Chinese or a Japanese?”
The little Jap was not caught nap
ping. Quick as a wink he replied:
“What sort of a ‘key’ are you any
way: a monkey, a donkey, or a Yan
kee?”
The fresh young man had no more
to say, and left the train quickly when
City Hall station was reached.—New
York Mail and Express.

Her Objection.
“Don’t you think you are taking tho
wrong stand when you say you do
not wish your son to marry, Mrs. Wil
loughby?” asked an intimate friend.
“Don’t you know it is natural and best
for a young man to marry, and that he
will not think any less of his mother
because he has a wife?” '“Oh, it isn’t
that.,” protested Mrs. Willoughby. “I
don’t mind his marrying on general
principles; but 1 don’t want to be
called ‘the old Mrs. Willoughby.”'
