The Signing of the Intor-Btnto Com
merce UIU Hni No Effect.
Nr.w1 Yonu , Feb. 5 , [ Special Teloeram to
the lr.r..1 ! The fact that the president had
signed the Inter-sUto commerce bill exercises
very llltlo Influence on the market to-day. It
was expected that this event would bo used
by the bears as n club to break the market ,
but heavy buying by big bull operators yes
terday Rave n very firm undertone to deal
ings. Thobtillsldo was aided also by a better
feeling on all foreign exchanges. London
prices for American stocks were all higher ,
and cables brought some good buying orders ,
St Paul was notably strong on buying by n
pool , which was formed a few day ? ago to bid
It and force the shorts to cover , S. V. White
wns a hrgo bnjcr of Union Pacific , nnd the
shorts' Interest In it being \ery large , nn ad-
\nnco of 1 per cent was easily secured.
Strlisc news was rather unfavorable , It being
alleged that thf ro was a prospect early next
WCOK that all of the Heading men would go
out. It was nlso announced that the long
shoremen at HulTalo refused to unload vcs5els
lo-ulcrt by non-union men at New York , and
altogether the situation was regarded as very
grn\e. The bankstatement ; , showing % decrease -
crease In the reserve of ? ISJ.)00. ( was an tin-
favorable factor , but in the absence ot any
selling piessurp , prices held very sternly. The
whole market boomed during the closing
hours. Shorts werelarscbuyersandthobulls
pressed their advantage , marking the Gran
gers and Vanderbllts up fully - per Lent.
Coat stocks responded In a less marked do-
gren to thn bull furore , owing to the strikes ,
which It was claimed would proyo very dis
astrous to the coal roads.

the UKK.J "An interesting Instance In wni
hlslory was developed in the pension office
the other day , " said nn Illinois veteran this
inornine. "And it Is n bit from thoniinal
of Colonel Uob Ingcrsoll's command. While
Colonel Ingersoll's regiment was bivouacked
at the fair ground at Pcorla , covering several
days , the \vontlcr ; became Intensely cold ,
Tlio condition of public feeling at tliat time ,
togelhei with the desire of the colonel to give
the bojs some drill and discipline , led him U
throw out all tha snfcgunids of the camp , mul
guaidswere put on duty. It was \cry dis
agreeable ami the colon cl said It was a pitj
to keep the poor follows on the pi ckct when
there was no danger.
"It was just befoio the com mand moved
south that the commander was man led. The
\veather was as disagiecableas ono could lin-
nglne snow , Ice and cutting winds. Never
theless the guards weio on duty , Just the
same as they weio wheio thu liirlitiiig was
expected. All of the arrangements lor the
marriage of the commander were madewhen
he rode out to thu lair giounds to see the
boys. Hiding around the lines lie discovered
the pickets shivering , nnd his sympathies
were thoioughly aroused. Finally ho vvae
hailed by one poor follow.
" 'Colonel'said he'I am about to fiewe ,
Yon must glvu mo a bottle of w hlsky and nn
overcoat or lolleve me , 01 you will move with
one less private. '
' "You shall have all three , ' icplicd the
colonel , and suiting his words with action he
pulled oir his ovcicoat , and ns he handed It to
Ihoguaul said :
" 'Thole , take Hint overcoat. In the inside
pocket jou will find n bottle ot whisky.
Now , you are relieved from duty. 1 won't
have any picket duty on such a day as this. '
"And the colonel lode oil lo tlio city. It
was discovered afterward that the overcoat
he gave to the soldier was tbe ono made with
his wedding suit. Well , the man served
through the war with Colonel Ingeisoll , and
emerged with Impahed health. Hehas iheu-
matlsm , which ho declares was contiacted
while on guard duty that day. when ho al
most fro/o. Ho lecontly applied for a pen
sion , and told this story in his pioof of dls-
iiblllt > contracted in the set vice.
"Colonel Ingersoll never believed in disci
pline , ' continued the veteran , "nnd I may
add he never had any discipline in his com
mand. 1 was with him , and it thcio was ono
thing lie despised moro than another It was
what he called 'show business' the routine
work intended to discipline. Ho believed that
his command ought to make up In bravery
What It lacked in discipline when the mo
ment tor action comes. And 1 may say he
inculcated much ol that feeling In his men.
He used to pieach to them that It made no
dilfcienco when n man died , or how he died ;
and seemed to want the men to bo In a mood
of leeklossness all the time not In a mood
to I brow away life , but to stand up and im
pel U It to win a battle.
"Tho colonel has ono trait of character
which endeaied him to every man under
him. It was that ot aqunintlng himself pei-
sonally with eacli one. And ho was the
arbitrator ot many llttlo troubles , peisonal
and impoisonal with the men. He would sit
around with the privates , down on the com
mon level , nnd tell stones and address them
bvlhelr Chiistlaii names. , and thev nil felt
that he was theli individual fiiend , which
was true , foi an insult to one othis men was
nn insult to him. "

'Teleli mo my usual dose , " said William
L. Kcott , the mllllonaiiu icpresentative from
the Kilo , Pa. , distilet , addressluir a sable
waller in the house lestauraut the other
day.
day.Five minutes elapsed after the waller dis
appeared down the halchwnv , and lie , re-ap-
ponieU with a chafing dish well filled with
oysti'is , . Under the dish was an alcohol
lamp. Mr. hcott , talking to abwaim ot ment
hols and calei.s ! generally , set about to cook
his lunch , lelieving the waiter who was at
tending him. lie lighted the lamp , put in
Ills seasonings , and sat watching thu dish
simmer. Thohteam pouied up , thu fumes
filled the spacious dining loom and people's
mouths watered ns the savoiy dish reached
a point of puifectlon.
Mr. Hcott isan epieinian , altlioush a dys
peptic-looking man , and it took but a few
minutes lei him to be able to pom out a lunch
which would tempt a Frenchman. Often ho
is seen duplicating this oidei , and he has the
icputatlon of being the most thoiough lunch-
con tunclei nt the capllol. he owns a largo
laim down on thu Mainland coast , has n
steel launch , and soveial times each summer
takes n paity down the bay fet shellfish , can-
v.is-b.icic duck , and the other good tilings
found only In that vicinity. Ho superintends
the cooking on thu launch or farm , and his
guests say he spreads thu bust table ot nnv

afternoon , a special meal being prepaied for
each as lie or slio appeals tor It , and then
theie Is an old-fashioned dinner served latu
in thucienlng , at a time when most folks
take a snack lei bed-time.
Most of the famous diners have disap
peared from congress , and nearly all of those
who go down to the restaurants lor lunch be
tween ono and two o'clock each afternoon
dm Ing thu session take soup or raw oy.steia
and go back to woik with llttlo ceremony.
Occasionally a senator llko blanfoidot Gal-
itoinia , or Palmer ol Michigan , or Cameron
ot Pennsylvania , gets n numbci ol the
stalcbiucn together and "sets it up" to the
croud , nnd a table suiuumded bvnlmll-
do/en will sit for nn hour 01 so , but this Is
seldom. Usually n senator goes In ulono and
eats hastily nnd is away.
In the hoiiho there is voiy much less atten
tion paid to those sitting ntound than in thu
senate. It Is a 1.110 thing to see n member
"hot up" the lunch lo any ono. Foi in-
fitnice , Randall slips In nnd pours down a
platu of soup , or n do/en on the half-shell ,
and Is out beloieho Is discovered , except by
tlio"waiter and cashier. Holmaii continues
to lunch on a cup of hot tea and biwid and
butter , while Heagan of Texas , who
gained the seat of bonator Matoy , ran drop
down a steak-aiid-onlons quicker than ouo

Piobably a more profitable hour cannot bo
spent than that occupied in stud } ing the

the beginning of their public llfo and thn
piosross through It of ninny ot the nation's
most honoicd , rcsnecUul and successful men.
Them aiu many of the members of congress
who held numerous olllcos before they w reelected
elected to represent their constituents among
the national law-makers , many of ; whom
have risen from the moro humbler positions
than Is ordinarily the caso. Thn time of
holding and title of their icspectlvu olllces
can bo ascertained by searching the direc
tory.
la this connection It Is Interesting to par-
tlculnily noio what a large propoi tlon of tiic
members of the present semite weio privates
In the Mexican war and the war ot the re-
bullion though principally in the Inlter.and n
canvass ot thucongiessionaldlrcctoiy. which

Some years nco , bctoie the street ralhoad
companies of Washington adopted the bell
punch system on their cms , a vciv nmuslng
incident occmrcd on the Pennsylvania nve-
miu line. At thnt time , as undoubtedly Is
still the case , onoupli members of congress
held passes over the street car lines to pre
vent tinfavoiable legislation.
The ear was well filled with pnsscngcis
from the capltol on their way up town at thu
close of the day's session and the car had
icichedthu loot ot thu hill befoie the con
ductor had reached tliu rear platform in his
collection of fares.
Near the door sat a sharp-looking gentle
man , absorbed In the oven ing paper , and as
the conductor held out his hand lei the ens-
tommy nickel , the passenger looked up nnd
nodded in a knowing sort ot way , as It to
Intimate that It was all light ; but the con
ductor .still vvalted with outstretched hand ,
nslf ulteily oblivious nf the meaning ot the
nod. Finally the passuugor said :
" 1 have a pass , " at the same time hunting
In his pocket foi Iho bit of pasteboard which
wns to save him the livu cents. Af lor care
ful search ho failed to find the pass , having
left It at home.
"My name is , " ho said , nicnlionlnc
the name of a well known New England
mumbei of comiie.ss , and since a member of
the cabinet. Tlio conductor was strangely
afflicted with dfatness at that paiticular
time and failed to hear orptetonded not to
Hear the name.
"What did you say ? * ' ho asked.
Again the name was repeated In a louder
tone of voice , lint the nlllictlon ot the con
ductor was ot such a sei ions naturu thnt ho
could not catch the name , and it wns again
repeated.
15y this time the attention ol the otlici pas
sengers on the car had been attracted by the
controversy , and the situation flashed acioss
some ol them who'tindeistood that some
congiessnipii can led live cent passes , and In
terest was growing in the case. Again the
iiamo was asked. '
"What did ? " and the
name you say passen
ger tills timu shouted it in loud enough tones
thnt the passengers nil oauuht tt nnd the con
ductor having accomplished his purpose of
making the matter vA pulrtie ns possible , said
"On , nil rlglit , " nnd lotieJited to his station
on the icar of the cat' , The passengers who
had paid their faro looked In astonishment
at the mini who would thus expose liimselt
10 avoid the payment ot so small n bum as
live cents.
A
" 111ust vou will excuse my appearance ,

Senator Palmer Is a hapuy story teller , nnd
delights in lemlnisconces. Some ono spoke
of tbo Into ( ieneial Logan , who was thu Inti
mate liiend of the .senator from Michigan ,
nnd ho said :
"I icmemher n very pleasant niglit I spent

Mandci-on and 1 were together , and 1 sat

smoking n cigar and began to sing :
'My days arc gliding swiftly by ,
'And I a pilgrim stranger. '
"After I got to the end of the second verse
I was surprised to sou the curtain of the

The Grand Victory.
Ono of the most Intensely exciting public
gatherings that has over taken place In
Oinalm assembled nl the exposition annex
last night to discuss the now city charter ,
About 7:10 : , fully twenty minutes before the
hour sot for the meeting a pang of about
thirty or forty mon , under Immediate com-
mandof llut-lt Mniphy , Con Oallagher nnd
Pat Ford inarched Into the Imll nnd took
front seats. A few minutes later , the rail *
road cortege with A. J. Popplelon , Thomas
\i. \ Klmball , Charley Green and ten or fifteen
undcrstrappc'is took .seats near the platform.
With them rnuio the Moirlsboy of tlio Herald ,
Hotlinker of the Itepubllcan , nnd a topoiter
of the World. This trluinlvrntecoiilident ! of
the success of their sttatoglemoM' , at once
orcanizell the mi-ctlng by calling Con Hal-
laghel to the chair , llavlngtaken possession ,
thev cone luiled to await the tinlval of the
audience , and look n recess ot fifteen minutes.
Before that time was up , howe\er , Morissey
rose nnd mo\ed that the chatter be rend , .sec
tion by section. A stream of business nnd
working men continued lo pour In uml by
eight o'clock nil the scats were not only
taken , but till available standing room was
occupied.
Some llttlo cross-firing was Indulced In
when the ( iiiesUon ol how to get nt the dis
cussion arose , but it was finally decided that
the objectionable sections should bo dis
cussed fust ,
Morlssoy moved that section 101 bo con-
aldcrcd at once , as it was of tal moment.
This Is the section which provides provides
a chance In the board of public works. It
was finally read by the secretary , W. V.
Morse , and discussed at lunvth , Mr. A. KO-.O-
water , tlio city encinrcr , tully explaining the
\\liolo clause , slating tliat It was made up of
the best features of the city chaiters of n low
eastern cities , notably Uetiolt. llo showed
wherein it was tai .superior to the present
eliaitei in that respect , and was listened to
attentively.
Mr. Popploton spoke upon this section. Ho
claimed that tlio citj chaiter , as now before
the tionati1 , H notns lecomniondod by thu
committee ol fifteen ,
Tlio discussion on this section was general
nnd was participated In by Messrs. Council.
Poppleton , Moirisev , Kothaker , llascal nnd
Andiow Kosownter. The dc-sign of
the railroad ciowd was to prevent -
vent the consideration of any
oilier section and secure nn ex
pression , if possible , in favor of striking out
section 101 , which would practically kill tlip
eliarter bill , now pending before the senate.
Mr. Council endeavored to Infoi m tlio meet
ing what section was really the bone of con
tention. but was prevented fiom so doing bv
lailroad hirelings , who iccelved their cues
from the lailioad oflicials on the platform.
Mr. Council , who made a splendid light
for tlio charter throughout the meeting ,
finally succeeded in sayim ; that the clause ot
four lines which wasinseited bv the Douglas
delegation at lincoln was the target at vrliich
the. rnilioad people weio niming. The clause
Is that which piovldes for the taxation of
inilway propeity in mctiopolltau cities lying
outside of the il-ht of way. Mr. K. Rosewater -
water said that HID people ol Douglas county
had elected lepiesenfativos to .he legislatuie
in whom they had confidence , and it was the
duty of tills mectiiiLto piopeily Instruct
their delegation = o that tlieio could be no
Kiounds for dl\lsion. This delegation had
the i igbt to clianuo thoclly ehnrtcr as thev saw-
fit , but had thus far earned out the wishes
of the committee , except to Inciense the bond
of the eity treasurer to 5200,000 and to Inseit
the objectionable tax clause. Their action
should ho ratified by this meeting. Mr. Mill-
ball inailn an eloquent appeal to the workingmen -
ingmen to vote in the mooting that tlio Doug
las delegation bo instructed to support the
city charter bill ns in illicit. Mr. Smyth ex
plained bow the Douglas delegation bad
cnnnged the chniter bill nnd Mr. Whllmoio
stated that us a member of that delegation
ho would suppoit the bill. A motion was
made accordingly and voted upon , the ma
jority being plainly In thoalliinmtnc. The
chair decided thu motion lost. A mill cries
foi a division , Mr. Con null moved tliat
those favoring the passneo of the city
charter bill without any chnnpe whntevei ,
go to the east side of the hall. The motion
was put , adn when the nflirmathuwas called ,
not a corporal's guaid of tlio audience
lemained in the west side of the hall.
The piniiounccd vlctorv achieved , was
gicctcd with loud and continued applause.

The Now
The Inter-state comnioreu bill , which has
jnsl been signed by the president , Is a theme
ot a pretty geneial conversation among the
railroad men of the city. Some of Ihein
seem to think that , In tlio mam , the bill Is a
good ono. Others think exactly to the con
trary , though they do not como out squarely
and so commit themselves. A reporter for
the Ht-.i : , who Interviewed sin-oral of Iho
Ic.ulliiB lights in local rail way circles , gleaned
some points on the subject , which may prove
ot Interest to the general public.

"What do 1 think ol Iho Inter-stale com
merce blllV" said Traffic .Manager Klmball ,
ot the Union Pacific , topcatlng Hie question
put to him by the HKR man. "Well , I think
the bill has many good points in it. In the
the hands of a good commission Us harmful

than wo fear. Thai icmalns to bo seen "
How will the lailroads construe the clause
relating to the Issuance of passes1"
"That Is something Unit cannot be , or
rather has not jut bean determined. The
cotnts will have to decide the c\nct const-iuo-
tlon of tins clause. As at present construed ,
It Would appear that no passes between inter
state points could bo Issued except lo ralliond
olllclals , or imssibly to their families. Ot
course this clause docs not apply to passes Is
sued between points in tlio same state. This
clause can bo evaded In this way : Suppose
yon desiio to go to Denver. Thn union
Pacific could Issue you a pass to the Colorado
line , then Isstm you a pass liom the state
11 no to Denver. It icmains to bo .seen
\vhclhcrtho railroads will caio to place such a
constuictlon upon the taw. "

" 1 am somewhat In tbodiitk about thoblll , "
said Ucncinl Manager Callaway. "I'lieio-
lore , 1 don't caio to have much to say
about It. 1 prefer lo see what con-
strucilon Is placed upon the bill by the
courts. As I see the matter now , however ,
nil railroads will bo prohibited from Issuing
Inter-stato passes to anyone but railroad
men , oi'L'lvlng lubaleson liulght and pas
senger business , as they now do. Yes , ot
coui.se , this will .shut out editorial people al
together. The fact is I am looking about lor
some ono who can enlighten mo on this Invv
and shall await developments with consid
er able interest. "
"Von are still Issuing passes as muni ? "
"Vi's , but subject to limitations nt April 1 ,
when ttio bill will become a law. "

"Wlint do you think of tlio lidor-stato com-
nieice blllV'1 was asked of C. S. Stebblns , the
general ticket agent of the Union Pacltlo.
"Well , " ho lepllod , "so far as I
can see now , 1 bellovo it must
benefit the passenger business on the rail
roads of this countiy. It will ceitalnly cut
down the number of passes issued , and thus
Incteaso tliu Income of tlio dlllerent roads.
At tliu same time , yon want to icmember
tliat , asaiulo , passes are issued to peisons
who would not tiavol , unless they were
granted free tians | ort.ition.
"Thero aio many cm Ions changes which
will be bi ought about by this law , " continued
Mr. btebbins. "Hoio are a few :
"According lo a strictlntetpiotatlon of this
law childien will no longer be can led at half-
faro. It is possible lliat tlio operation of this
provision m.iy bo aliened by the construction
placed upon It by tlio courts.
"Theatrical troupes will no longer bo
irianted special rates , nor will their baggage
bo eairieil at less than the ordinary lateR.
I'hls will bear linrd on the Infeilor tioupos ,
and will piob.ibly lorco some of thu weaker
ones off the load.
"J raveling men cin no lonjrer hayo their
samnlo cases cairled freo.
"Kdltorinl people will bo placed n level
basis with common humanity , MO tar ns mil-
waj traveling is eonceined. They will have
to pay lull laic.
"The ( . ' .inadMii ro.ids will have unlimited
oppoittmlty to do Ameiican roads a great In-
juiv. They can put their rates nt such lic-
uies ns cannot bo met by the Ameilcnn roads
on account of the inlei-state commerce law
"Again. " ' continued Mi. Stebbins , "It Is
very probable that the i.illroads will In many
eases have to abandon their long haul nxU-s ,
in older to piotect tlicii fahoit haul local busi
ness. "

"This now law prohibits rebates of any
sort , " slid a prominent licUht olllclal , "and
it also does away with pools. Of course , the
hiw oiinht to opoiato to pievent rate-warn ,
such as , undci thn pitecnt regime , aio con
stantly bie.iking out over the country. For
this the lailroads ought to bo dovouily thank
ful. "
TICKET scAi.rrns.
"I don't see , " sighed a local ticket ccalper ,
and addressing himself to tlio liic ! : nmn
jostcrdav , "but that our business Is knocked
higher than a kite by this law. Why ? lie-
cause the law prevents railroads from grant
ing any concussions to scalpers which will
cnaolo the scalpers togivu rebates to their
customers. "

" 1 cannot tell you wlint our road will do
about this bill , " said ( iem-ral Manager llol-
diedge , of the HiiillniHon. "Unr ofllclnls
have not yet hold a mooting to discuss the
matter. Them nro some points of the law
which are a llttlo vague , but we hoiio that
ovci } thing will work out nil right. Wo shall
try to conform , a.s far us possible , to the spit it
of the law. One can't tell as yet how this law
will work , ll Is lather a dangerous oxpet I-
ment. "
