The Dally News to morrow will say that twenty , , thousand men threaten to quit the employ of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and tie up its trains. The JNews goes into the details of the compulsory insurance mentioned in these dispatches last plght as being the cause of the trouble , and adds that every employe has been given to understand that ho must sign a contract or be discharged. Determined and serious oppo sition to the company's orders Is being organ ized. Accoiding to the News , an Insurance broker of this city , who has examined the Baltimore & Ohio system , says that tbo charges nro on an average twice as high ns those of accident and life insurance com panies carrying sluilhtr risks. The contract which the employes were asked to sign con tains a clause making the Insurance a re lease of all clnlms for damages against the company for Injury or death.

The etrokoof Iho midnight boll Imd scarcely died livst nluht , snys tlio Now York Morning-Journal , when tlioro wns n commotion inside ot a lotiff , ( loop chest that stood hist inside the wolves' cnrjo in the Madison Sqnaro Qnrdon. Ilnrtuy any was about , snvo the night watch man and Superintendent Gcorpo Conk- lin , who has charge of the animals and never scoins to sleep , The ohost spoken of was heavy and resting on a support that was not strong enough to bear the weight. A prelim inary cracking gave warning that the foundation was giving way , but there were no cars in ronch to heed. A moment or two later the supports gave way and the chest toppled ever on its side , the lid flying 6pcn and remain ing so.Vljnt seemed like a yellow Hash followed the oponilig of the lid , and a sinuous body waved and darted , with open mouth at fancied onomlos. it was the biggest -snako In the collection of Mlllo. Junota , ( ho snake charmer , that had thus escaped from his quarters. Seeing that no enemies wcro torment ing him and recovering his lost temper , ho dragged hlmsolf lazily from the box. With the dim light of n flickering gas jot glinting' on his shiny bncktho snake made his way toward the wolf's don. Embracing-ono of the wheels ho grad ually innuo his way upward , and was lust dragging his tall .across the iron bars to the top of the wagon , when ono of the wolves spied It * With n snarl ho ho leaped for the bars and took a flrm grip on the snnko with his teeth. In an instant the scene changed from quiet to pandemonium , the other wolves howling and dashing thorasolvos against the bars In u fury of rage , while the hugo body of the snake waved and twisted like a willow wand in the hands of a drum major. Its body was useless below where the wolf had gripped it , but quickly looping itself around the iron brnko-roau , it managed to got a cell around the wolf's nock. By this tlmo , which was not moro than three seconds from the time the llrst noise was heard , Mr. Con kiln was running toward the sueno of the accident. A glance at the overturned box and the sight before him was all that was necessary. . "Bring the other ! " ho yelled to an assistant ; who quickly obeyed. The wolf's eyes were protruding from his head and the bones could almost bo hoard to crack as tlio snake oxortcd Its great strength. The snake's eyes glittered - torod .and Its jaws "moved nervously from the } iam the 'wolf .was Inflicting , but both were nearly motionless. A sponge saturated with other was applied on tlio end of a polo to the nos trils of oach. combatant , and in a few seconds the snake fell in an inert heap on the floor , just as the wolf released his grasp , reeling from side to side. The snnko's wound , which , was serious , was hurriedly dressed by Mr. Conklln and the reptiLe was hustled into his box bcforo ho recovered. Mr. Conklin then entered the wolf cage and revived the other lighter with ammonia and found him weak , but un hurt , with the exception of a laceration of his nose , whore It had been crushed against the iron birs. Thou potico again settled over the garden. Early 15 rollers. Broilers should now bo ready for mar ket , says the American Poultry Journal. The early sellers catoh the prico. Everything depends upon duo care and feeding of the chicks. For the first twenty-four hours from the shell they need ho nourishment. Nature supplied thorn iu the egg. When able to run about in the brooder and the early broiler is an incubator chick , of course an egg diet is bust. Mash hard-boiled yolks and mix with several times their bulk of broad and crumbs moistened in sweet milk. After the first week , add oatmeal or corn meal occasionally. At the end of two weeks omit the eggs gradually from the diet. Lot the meal bo swollen or cooked. Twice a week season the mush with a little rod pep per , and put in some finely chopped onions to prevent gapes. As the chicks become larger , small grains oats , millet - lot , wheat screenings and broken corn may bo given. There should be green food for the larger chicks. Lettuce seed sown early and allowed to grow to an inch of loaf is an excellent forage for them. If they do not oat it , ebon it fine and mix it with the other food. A pan of calcined bone in ono of the runs is a good preventive of acidity. The eighth or ninth week should bo given to fattening the birds. They must then ho confined in close quarters. Feed sparingly at first , and then give all they will pick up three tlmob a day. The starchy and saccharine " rine , vegetables potatoes" and boots form an important Item than.

EEXTRSSESSION QUESTION Senator AlQQp Presents Some Arguments on the Subjoot. < ( % - NOT ALARMED AT THE SURPLUS. lie Thinks tn'6 ' 'ICxncmllturcs of the Qtn'CrnmnnK'Vhth Iittllclnu Pur chases ( fr fondl AVlll Take of It. An Extra ' ; $ OHslon When ? Senator William B. Allison contri butes the following discussion of the extra session question to the April number of the North American Ro- viowi An extra session of congress In the beginning of a now administration is not desirable in the public Interest , un less u great necessity for It appears. The chief reason now urged for an ex tra session of congress lies in the fact that wo have a largo rovcnuo coming Into the treasury monthly , and each month considerably in excess of the payments authorized by existing appro priations. Is this surplus such as would justify an administration in calling an extra session of congress at the begin ning of n term , when pressing admin istrative affairs must bo considered. It is well known that the appropria tions for 'tho current fiscal year wore very largo , and the appropriations for the fiscal year beginning on the. first of July next are also largo. If those are ex pended nnd It is roasonoblo to suppose that most of thorn will bo , with proba ble deficiencies in pensions , at least the apprehended surplus , as- shown by various treasury reports , and by public statements made from time to time in both houses of congress , will bo very rauoh diminished : " The appropriations for the current fiscal year are , in round numbers , say , only $20,000,000 loss than the estimated revenues for the present fiscal year , nnd it is not probable that the actual revenues will exceed the es timated revenues. The appropriations made by the session of congress just closed are , in round numbers , $ SJo,000,000 less than the appropriations for the cur rent year ; so that it may bo stated that on the 1st day of July , 1890. the excess of revenues ever the ex penditures for the next fiscal year will bo , in round numbers , S15,000,000t or against $28,000,000 for the curron , fiscal year. It is not probable that the revenues for the next fiscal year will bo in excess of the estimates. Now , of this 845.000,000 surplus , nearly one-half will ha.v1o-accumuln.tod by Jan uary 1 , 1890 , so that the problem for the secretary of the treasury to solve , in case congress should not bo called in extra session , will bo how ho can dis pose of this 823,000,000 of excess. It can easily bo done cither by the pur chase of four-and-a-halfs , in anticipa tion of tholr early nnaturlty in 1891 , or by the purchase' of. fours , maturing in 1007 ; so that it may bo stated that , so far as the current' revenues are concerned - corned , from thisitimo up to and includ ing the fiscal year 1889-90. it will not bo n uilllcult thing'to purchase bonds covering - oring this entire surplus. The existing .sjurplus , which has been accumulating for some years , now lying in the treasury erin in the national ' banks , would 'not ' bo affected by legislation , whether now or at any future time , as any ro-ad- justmcnt of taxation must take place with reference to current revenues and current expenditures , without consider ing those accumulations. So , in any event , the overlapping surplus of prior years should bo , and doubtless will bo , used in the purchase of bonds , as there nro no pressing extraordinary expendi tures provided for ( or likely to be ) thai would absorb it. If an extra session should bo called in the near future , it would bo impossible to mature and perfect a tariff measure during such extra session , and the only thing possible would bo , by a joint reso lution , to repeal. foi example , the to bacco tax , which would relieve the treas ury of , say , 83,000,000 per annum. This however , could only bo done with the consent of both political parties , as any revenue measure introduced into the house would bo subject , under its rules , to amendment without limitation ; and when such measure would reach the senate , it would , in that body , also bo subject to amendment without limita tion. Hence a small portion of either house , in either party , could , if they were disposed , compel u full considera tion of tlio whole question ot the tariff and internal revenue ; and it is not probable that the house , being so nearly divided , and the republican party now having only a small majority , could pass a revenue measure at an extra session without a prolonged dpbato upon the general question , and without the free exorcise of the power of amendment. In this view , it would seem to bo wiser and bettor that the extra session of congress should bo postponed until the middle or last of October , when congress could convene and remain in continuous session and take up seriously and earnestly the whole question of the reduction of taxation by means of n re duction of internal revenue and a revi sion of the tar ill' , An extra session in October would give time for the organization of the house and the committees of the house , nnd thus put in course of early prepara tion these revenue measures , which could bo considered and completed , under dor those conditions , by April of next year. It seems very doubtful whether any progress colliding mudo by calling an extra session during the present spring , and taking the tlsk of a long session during tlio mimmor , without any practical result. This debate may bo fairly anticipated from the fuct that , not withstanding the gouoral vordlct of the people at the last election , the demo cratic party still adheres with llrmnoss to its original proclamation that the turill should bo revised upon a revenue basis , and not Upon the idea that American industries shall bo cared for in the preparation. and revision of the scheduled. Tlio business interests need not bo alarmed aWthis postponement , as It may bo takoi jor granted that the policy of President Harrison will bo , not to hoard mandolin the treasury , butte to utillzo tlio Hurpluf as far a * it can bo utillzod. In the pui-cnnso of Iho Intot- cst-boarlng debt of the United States , llrst for the bonds presently maturing , and , focondly , for the bonds duo in 1007 ; so that the situation , as rospacts our revenue nnd the money in the treasury , under this policy , will not bo materially changed , whether congress is convened in the early spring or late autumn. A critical examination of the appro priations for the current fiscal your and the next year will dlaoloso the fact that there Is no probability of any future re duction of the appropriations for the various purposes indicated. For exam ple , Iho npproprliitlonB for the current year for pension : ) were , In round num ber * , JSl.OOO.OOO ; but just bolero the ad journment of the labt session a dolicl- ency of 83,000,000 was asked and appro priated for pensions. The appropria tions for the next fiscal year for the like purpose wore $31,000,000. It Is not Im probable that the deficiency for the next year will bo In excess of the $8,000- 000 appropriated for this year. The ap propriations for the postofllco do- pnrtmont , owing to the rapid growth and development of our country , nro constantly increas ing , and for the yoara that nro to follow they will probably bo In excess of the appropriations for this your and the next fiscal year. The appropriations of this year for the navy tu-o $10.000,000 ; for the next ' year , $21,000,000 ; but' Ills quite probable that n deficiency In the naval appro priations for the next year will bo re quired to complete the naval vessels al ready under contract , nnd It Is certain that the policy of the republican parly will bo to increase considerably the ap propriations for the navy next year , In order that wo may have , nt as early a dale as possible , an effective navy. So Itlsprounblo that the appropriations for f9rtlflcatlons , etc. , will bo considerably increased next year. Therefore it may bo said that our national expenditures In the future are likely to Increase year by year rather than to diminish. It Is certain that next year a river and har bor bill of considerable magnitude must bo passed , because during this voar no ' river and' harbor bill passed. Had Iho bill passed both houses as reported by the committee on rivers and nurbors in the house of representatives , the sur plus for the next fiscal year would have boon reduced by $10,000,000 at least , bringing it down to less than $40,000- , These largo sums which I have in- dlcalod conslltuto the great Items where deficiencies may bo expected and In creased appropriations required in the future. It Is probable that the smaller items included in these general appro priation bills may also bo increased to the extent of 82,000,000 or $3.000,000. The contest in the two houses on the reduction of revenues and the revision of the tariff in the Fifty-first congress will bo , as It was in the Fiftieth , a con- lesl , on the ono hand , for the reduction of revenues , nnd , with that reduction , n scaling-down of the tariff to a revenue basis , and , on the other , n reduction by such changes and modifications of the tariff as will reduce the reve nues and , at the same tlmo , defend and protect our own industries as against the sharp competition ofsimi- lar industries in other countries. Under the constitution , of course , unv tariff bill or revenue bill must originate in the hoUse of representatives , and , whilst it may not bo possible to predict with exactness the line that will bo pur sued by the republican majority in that body , it mnyDbo fairly inferred that , in a general way , with probable modlllca- tion of detail , the house of representa tives will follow the plan and method of , as also the principle involved in , the senate bill which passed thosouato during ' ing the last scssio'n of the Fiftieth , con gress. _ _ In Town and Hamlet The seeds of intermittent and bilious rouilt teno fever gcrminiuo nnd bear evil fruit.

Hero is a truthful story for such n , skeptic , which ho Is welcome to sift to the bottom , says n Now York correspon dent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. . The person to whom the experience bofol Is a distant relative of the writer , n woman of undoubted voracity , of more than ordinary Intelligence , and of high character. I glvo the story as nearly In her own words as possible. "It was , " says she in tolling It , "In the latter part of last year that my ex perience occurod. I had of course , hoard the usual number of ghost stories. But I was an unbeliever previously to the oyonts which I am about to rolato. On November 8 , 1888. I married Mr. S. , who , as you know , is my second husband. For about six weeks wo lived in our Now York house , on Thirty-fifth street. But the house my husband had always considered his homo Is situated at Ilun- tington , Long Island. It is n fine , largo old-fashioned house built on the brow of of a hill overlooking the soundand sur rounded with oak and fir trees of enor mous size. It may bo called a family scat , as It was inherited by my husband from his grandparents. "My husband's first wife mot with a vary tragic fate within site of this houso. She was a skillful boat-woman , and very fond of rowing about on the sound some times allowing her boat to drift out with the tide and como back on the return tjdo. Ono day she drifted out on the lido and was carried further than usual away from land. Before the tide turned a violent thunder-storm arose and the wind blow a gnlc. The poor woman must have been drowned during this , for she never returned , and the small boat in which she had boon \vas picked up days after ever a hundred miles away by a coasting schooner. This terrible accident occured eight years n go , and such n thing ns her ghost returning was never dreamed of during these years. It was the day before Christmas last , when , with a party of friends , wo wont down to Huntington. The old house had boon elegantly refit ted , and was the personification of homo comfort , with its cheerful , old-stylo wood llros on the wide hearths. Our party was indeed a jolly ono. There were two other brides in it beside my self. self."The "The room which my husband and I occupied was on the second lloor a largo corner room at the front of the house overlooking the soilnd , thobright waters of which glimmered and silvcrod through the branches of the trees abouj the house , as ono looked from oUr north windows. ' Wo had retired on the first night of our occupancy rather late , and , being much wearied by fatigues incumbent on mo , a hostess I soon fell asleep. "Suddenly I awoke with a start I felt something cold on my taco I could scarcely breath , as a deathlike fooling ran throutrh mo , and scorned to froczo my blood. It was most horrible. Opening my eyes I saw n woman If such an object 03 I looked upon could bo said to have BOX. She was exceedingly tall , nnd about her head hung long wet streams of yellow hair. Ilnr whole form was lurid with a kind of phosphorosconso , and her eyes seemed to blnzo with a greenish ffro , About her form hung a long loose wrap per , which water seemed to drip from , onch drop having a green sparkle ns It fell ; but , most horrible of all , I could see clear through her body. The moon wns shining In through the window , and she was between mo and the moon , and , strangely enough , I could see all her bones Inside of nor body , which seemed to bu loss transparent than the llosh. So she scorned n skeleton with a pallor ot llesh and clothing about her. Slowly with her horrible bony hands she stroked my warm llosh , and salt water Boomud to drip from them as she did BO. She literally felt mo all ever , and while she was doing so I lay spellbound with out the power of speech or motion. Meanwhile , lohnmy ( husband ) remained sound asleep. "At last , she seemingly had satisfied her curiosity In regard to mo , she quietly raised up the eqvors and got In to the bed between us. Her cold clammy form lay still for u while like corpse. Then Blio spoke : 'Johtil1 at the same tlmo taking his hand in hor's. My husband awoke nnd only looked tit her a second whon. with a wild shriek ho leaped from tlio bed and found a match. Meanwhile I still lay there In the bod. So did the woman or ghost. When the light was lltn loud crash was hoard. The ghost was gene in an in stant. On looking around the whole snsh was broken bodily out of the north window , the window toward the sound , and a weird , wailing wind cnmo whist ling into the room. The nolso had aroused the house , and before long our guests and servants were in the room with us. On hearing the strange story they were greatly surprised. My hus band recognized the ghost as that of his drowned wifo. "To satisfy our guests wo up all together in the room next night , and at about the snmo time the same horriblu spooler rolurnod , this tlmo only staying 11 few minutes , but long enough to scare ono of our young ladles Into a dead faint. "Wo all loft the house soonaftor , and since that time the strange phantom has been been in the same room a number of times. She has also boon seen walking about the grounds always dressed in the ssimo manner as I have descried and looking the samo. ' Had I not soon this with my own eyes nnd had others present to witncsa it , I should never have believed so re markably a freak of nature possible.
