Kew York Graphic: Mr. George Eeenan, the Siberian traveler and writer, is to be inter dieted, it seems, from re-entering the Russian Empire. This is not to be wondered at when one recalls the manner in which he has let the light in on exile in Northern Siberia. Yet it is not quite three years since Mr. Eeenan bitterly denounced in a Washington newspaper a lect- Mr.

William J. Armstrong, who, with great force of rhetoric and illustration, had attempted to portray before a Lincoln Hall audience the inside workings of Czarism. Mr. Keenan was then in the omce of the Associated Press at the capital.

Kew York Sun: The latest thing in weddings la for the bride and groom to keep as a profound secret the direction of the bridal trip. They give out that they are going to Washington or Niagara.

Then they go to some hotel, and leave at a convenient time the next morning on their journey. Sometimes, in the spirit of fun, mischievous friends find out the destination of the bridal couple, and send their congratulations to their hotel. A case of the kind occurred recently in Brooklyn. The groom bad been a party to wedding Jokes himself, and he took, as he supposed, every precaution to prevent his being traced. All is juries were baffled.

He got a driver who could not read He drove over the bridge and dismissed his driver, and then drove in another coach to an uptown hotel He thought he had evaded all the fun-makers. The next morning the bridal couple started for Washington by the Pennsylvania route. What was their astonishment to find a family delegation at the depot to bid them good morning, and to wish them joy on their wedding trip. But how the secret leaked out is a mystery that the groom has been nnable to solve. A BIQ BEAU.

MADISON AND CLARK TS. A PIRATICAL ROAD. How the Tax-malntminmt Canadian Patdfie Boats tne American Unes.

WA.SBTKOTOS, Nov. 19T Special Telegram. Some time ago a representative of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, in an interview in Chicago, is reported to have said that: "Tho Northern Pacific is to be ground between the upper and nether Canadian mills tones," and that "the competition of the American lines is useless, as the Canadian Pacific is under no obligation to the interstate commerce law, and can cut rates," draw them and their occupants up to uie toy ui cnownon. A writer- ho is well informed on the subject has this to say of the Canadian conspiracy snd of. President Cleveland' part in it: "The Canadian Padfie stubbornly refuses to enter into arrangements for fixed rates with any of our transcontinental lines, and insolently declares ita purpose to and to follow its cutting downward all it gets below nothing.

Its agents in New York and Chicago are instructed instantly on the publication of one of our transcontinental tariffs to publish Canadian Pacific rates from 10 to 15 per cent less. Ouroountry swarms with traffic skirmishers of this hostile corporation from San Francisco up the coast to the boundary from Boston to Philadelphia; from St Paul down the Mississippi Valley to St Louis, a commercial line west from New York to Portland, in Oregon. Over this immense territory it is the constant experience of our transcontinental lines that after naming as their rates to snippers the lowest they can find established by the Canadian Pacific they are not low enough to secure the business. The pirate gets it. The disgraceful condition can be appreciated from these two facts: First the traffic agents of the Dominion Road camped on our territory are under imperative orders irom neaaquarters in Montreal to promptly make reductions below anv figure whatever that may be named by the agents of the Union Pacific and Northern Paci- na Companies on east-Douna pusiness irom i a- get Sound and west-bound business from Chicago: second, on Sept 20 last a first-class ex cursion train was run by the Canadian Pacific in connection with the Bemi-Canadian-Mani- toba road from Chicago to Victoria, on Pnget Sound, a distance of 2,315 miles, for K2 a for the round trip, ine price of such ticket that day by the cheapest American lines was $95, and the service could not have been rendered for lees money and yielded a living profit The return coupons of these cut-throat ticaeis were peuuieu vui at irom dv fri Seattle and Tacoma.

Down this competitive tide to rum the American lines can not far go. Thev are the property of individuals and not of a Dominion, and this property is mortgaged and must earn its interest But it is a matter of no moment if the Canadian Pacifio is run without profit, not onlv. but to anvxtent of dead loss. It has all the taxable property and industry of Canada behind it to make up losses." KEW COETOEATTOXS. PpBrsGnKLD.

Hekhen strolled off, and walked around as miserably! as a man could be "who was committing an evil deed. An hour or so later he heard the deep muttenngs of the bull, and hastening to the meadow fence he saw Dave about twenty yards from the couple pawing dirt and shaking his head. The man was trying to get the girl to run, but she was so terrified she could not move The bull made a dVh, and the fellow ran shrieking for the fence. The bull dashed on after the flying fellow, while our disconsolate) yonng man, having jumped the fence, rushed to the girt as the bull dashed on after the fugitive) rival, and, catching her in his arms, told her that such a coward was unworthy of her.

As Dave saw his young master he left off pursuing the other man, returned and went to licking his hand, while the indignant girl vowed she would never more speak to a roan that was afraid of ft cow.i bus soon axterwara mamea iMve WILLOWS FCOX NAPOLEOY GRATE.
