' DETROIT, Mich.. Jan. 3. When ex-Gov-ernor Plngree's attention was called this afternoon to his reference, in 'his exaugural message to Senator Carter, of Montana, in connection with corrupt election to the "United States Senate, he said that it was an error, and that he had intended to refer to Senator Clark, of Montana. "I will Icrward a statement to Senator Carter," said Mr. Plngree. "explaining the error, and making It clear that I intended to re-' ler to the scandalous election of Senator Clark. I am sorry the mistake occurred, ana will rvrite Senator Carter a letter of explanation and apology immediately." SALT WILL SAVE LITE. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) Prof. Loeb, "that in a form with reversible development, death will not necessarily follow a certain, stage of development (corresponding to senility in man.) It is not impossible that 'natural death is comparable to the situation which is present in the mature egg after it leaveä the ovary. Nature has shown us the way by which at this critical point death can be avoided in the case of the gg." Professor Loeb has found that in certain low forms of animal life, such as. the polyps, the form of the animal is dependent upon ita environment, and that certain stages of development can be arrested, stimulated, or prolonged at will by changing the conditions ' in which the animal lives. "We generally consider development as a process which can only occur In one direction." he continues, "or. in other words, as irreversible. Rut this is apparently not generally the case. I showed in a recent paper that the morphogenetic ' process in hydrolds i3 reversible. If the polyp .of the Campanularia is brought into contact with a solid body It Is transformed Into undifferentiated material, and later Into a stolon. If the same organ Is brought in contact with sea water it gives rise to a polyp again. The samt may be done with Margells and other hydrolds. Between the two phases the mateiial must pass through an undifferentiated stage where it is neither polyp nor stolon. It will be the task to determine how far in the animal kingdom the development processes are found to be reversible." If the cellular tissues of the animals can Tbe reduced in some way to undifferentiated material. Profesor Loeb suggests, development may be started anew in another direction. The specific elixir which will rejuvenate the wasted frame he leaves to future scientists to discover. "If we succeed in finding a substance which accelerates the process of cell division at the normal temperature." he continues, "this will at the same time lead to a suppression or a reduction of the processes which shorten Ufe. He finds that potasiumlons will do this in the case of the Chaetopterus, cr sea orm. WEATHER FORECAST. Fair To-IJnr nnd To-Morrorr, with Southerly "Winds. WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.

STRIKE NOT PROBABLE

CONCESSIONS MADE BY THK NOItTJILRX PACIFIC RAILWAY. Statement by the Representative of the Cirlevnnee Committee of Telegraph Operators. ST. PAUL. Minn., Jan. 5. George L. Hampton, of Tacoma, press representative or the grievance committee, of Northern Pacific telegraphers, who have been negotiating with the officials of that company since Dec. 9 last, this evening said: "We have finished our negotiations with the railroad officials and are returning home well satisfied. The statement that we are disgruntled, andy that a strike is likely is absolutely untrue. While we have not been able to secure everything we asked, concessions have been made which are highly important to us. In tho first place the company agrees that every operator, day and night, shall have eight consecutive hours for rest. We have also secured a reduction of two hours in the time of 'split trick' men, -and' the allowance of an hour for meals In each twelvo-hour trick. This is something that has never been allowed by the road. The company was disinclined to grant our request for recognition of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, but have Agreed to recognize us as a body of employes. That is practically what we want. The question of wages, we are satisfied, will be properly adjusted. Asked as to the reported threatened disruption of tho Order of Railway Telegraphers as a result of the strike on the Santa Fe system, Mr. Hampton said that so far as he knew there was nothing in It. The order, he said, was gaining In strength in this part of the country, and as it grew stronger, like most of the other railroad organizations was becoming more conservative. They believed more in negotiations and In mutual conciliation and less In strikes. ' SCIIEMC TO "GET EVK.." Ilovr Telefrrnph Operntors May Punish the Sitntn Fe Company. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 5. Speaking of a disratch from Chicago In whlch.it was declared that troubles threatening the dissolution of the Order of Railway Telegraphers have grown out of the Santa Fe strike, Chief Clerk L. A. Quick, who is in charge of affairs at headquarters during the absence of President Dolphin and Secretary Perham, said; "Our order Is about 21.000 strong, and. even if 5'i0 are dropped, as it is reported they would be, it would not make much difference. We have, organizedfive divisions in the last few weeks. Most of them are in the East. If men have refused to obey the strike order they will have charges to confront in their respective ledges and if they are found guilty they will be expelled. He called off the strike, it is true, but it was not a victory for the railroad. On the contrary, "the contest has only just begun. Nearly all of our itembers at small towns are agents for the railroad as well. Wherever there Is a competing line it Is very easy for the agent to sell a ticket over the rival line, and also to route freight that way. It will Quickly bring the road to terms. I simpiy say this to show that our resources havenot been exhausted. Mr. Dolphin is in St. Paul at present." All Metnl Workers Mny I iiMe. NEW YORK, Jan. 5. The National Metal Traders' Association and the International Association of Machinists held a conference here to-day In relation to wages, and the agreement reached by the two associations some time ago. Among those present were Walter L. Pierce, president of the National Metal Traders Association and John O'Donnell, of Pittsburg, president of the Interational Association of Machinists.

This will include all the iron and steel workers, machinists and kindred trades with a membership of 400,000 or 500,000.

Tobacco Stemmers to Be Called Out. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 5. President Henry Fisher, of the International Tobacco Workers Union, announced at a meeting at Walhalla Hall to-night that within the next two weeks all the stemmers in the employ of the Continental Tobacco Company, which makes the plug tobacco sold by the American Tobacco Company, known as the trust, probably will be called out. This, he says, will affect the factories of the company in all parts of the country, including St. Louis. According to Mr. Fish er, the grievances of the workers consists of dissatisfaction with the amount of pay received and the sj-stem of "docking," said to be in vogue in the factories. It is estimated that the Continental To bacco Company, in all its factoriess throughout the country, employs not less than lifteen thousand persons, who would be affected by a general strike. 10,000 Miners to Receive Advance. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 5. Announcement was made to-day that 10.000 Alabama coal miners will receive an advance of 2H cents a ton in wages, dating from the first of the month.

Hotel n a Money Aicency. New York Evening Sun. "Monev?" drawled the observer of life In hotels as opposed to life in particular, "money? I honestly believe that a quarter of a million of dollars changes hands every twenty-four hours in one big establishment of this town. You just sit down in the lobby for twenty minutes at any time of day or evening. Along comes a man. going out to the theater with his wife' and three daughters. 'Let me have thirty dollars, he'll say o the office clerk, 'and put It down In the till, will you?' He isn't out of sight before a woman In all .ands of silks and satins stops at the desk to get a $100 check cashed. Refuse it. Why, no indeed; she and her husband are probably regular guests, or at least frequent visitors. Later on a big, jolly man will -rush out of the smoking room, get a tig handful of money several hundred dollars no doubt and actually have that put on his till while he hurries back to his companions. It's a steady stream. And. remember, there's all the board and lodging to be considered. You can figure that as amounting in the aggregate to a respectable fortune every day. Just think of the bookkeeping they do at that desk! You watch it and you'll begin to realize how the money fcoes. When I feel a little tit prosperous, all I have to do is to go up there and stand around a while. It doesn't take long to get back to my normal state of humility." A Word for Sir Edivln. New York Commercial Advertiser. The poets both here and In England are vexing the ghost of the dying century with all kinds of music. Never did a century go out amid such a Jangle and tootling. Sir Edwin Arnold rs mixed up in it, of course. Nothing can keep that man out of rhyme. The minute he reads anything in the newspapers he chops it up into feet, and in a few days it is all neatly packed in stanzas and read' for the nearest magazine. His age-end song has for its theme Albion's greeting to America, the main point being that Albion sends "the motherly kiss and benlsonT" and "hap what rr.ay hap," wishes the new world well. We are no judge of these matters, but we believe "hap what may hap" Is as good poetic diction as you can find anywhere, and very characteristic of Sir Edwin the Everready, most punctual of poets and best of men. For timely verses that is the kind of mind to have a mind like a Staten island ferryboat that keeps everything on board jiggering in a regular, rhythmical way. The old-fashioned poet, moody and often cataleptic, with his fitful, irrelevant song, looks ridiculous beside these modern ones, with their enormous horse power and dynamos running day and night. The Proposed Shoe Combination. COLUMBUS. O.. Jan. 5. R. p.. Wolfe, one of the leading promoters of the National Shoe Company, returned from the East to-day. "The new company is assured." said Mr. Wolfe. "It is not a trust, but is almost in direct opposition to the accepted idea of a trust. The factories which will be Interested in the company will retain their Independent existence, and th new company will act as a distributing agent for their product. Our aim Is not so much to get factories Into the company as to keep them out. We want enly those plants which have an established line of goods, and those which are recognized by the trade as being the leading ones In their line. The factories interested in the new' company will manufacture practically dissimilar lines of goods, and a dealer can fit out his entire store from one of our depots." The new company will employ some traveling men, but will carry nothing like the combined force of the men now traveling for the Independent factories. The company will be incorporated under the laws of Delaware with a capital stock of $3.500,(00. Losses by Fire. BOSTON, Jan. 5.

Charles Battell Loomis has turned his recent European trip to account In a series of sketches called "Some Americans Abroad." The first of these is devoted to the homesickness of a New Yorker, sent abroad for his health, who holds that "There Is Only One Noo York." I did not see him again until we met on the Boulevard des Italiens in Paris. I saw him first, and as I'd taken something of a fancy to the homesick and disgruntled fellow, I called out: "Aren't you rather far from New York, Thomas J. Brownley?" He turned, and I thought he would weep for joy. He shook my hand with both of his. and looked as happy as if Governor's Island had suddenly loomed up before him. After his first delight had subsided and we were sitting together in front of a cafe, he said: "Well, Isn't this a sad sight, thiscity?,, Again I had to admit that I was having a good time in spite of a somewhat limited stock of French. He rested his head on his hands and shook it from side to side. "Oh. how can you say so! Why I thought I hated London, but I give you my word I'd be glad to be back there to hear their attempts at the American language. Did you ever hear such a makeshift for talk as this is? Wouldn't It drive you to crime? And such sights as I've seen since I came here! Why, sir. I never blushed so much in my life as I have here. Filthiest people I ever saw or heard of. Look at the things they sell" "To Americans I said. "Don't believe it. Whj', I wouldn't run the chance of being found dead with the things they sell on the streets. And I car. tell by their looks that what they are saying to each other isn't fit to print. A dirty nation on its last legs. London was paradise to this, and I didn't know it. I'm going to write a letter of apology to one of those miserable London papers, telling them I hadn't seen Paris when I passed through London. Oh. it's the language that does it. No one can get away from the English language and expect to be worth anything as a man. Look at the Italians; only fit to black Americans boots. Here, this coffee's on me, but you telk to the waiter. I haven't learned a word of their tongue, thank God! and I Wouldn't on principle. If I lived here all my days. But I've had an awful time trying to "get my English understood. My throat is 'mot worn out shouting, and still they don't understand. And the insolent cabmen that try to run over you! I grabbed one horse by the head yesterday, and I made him run on the sidewalk, and I said to the miserable driver: 'I'm fromv Noo York, and you can't run me down as you do these undersized Frenchmen.' " "What did he say?" I asked. "I don't believe he actually said anything. He chattered like a crow la a cornfield, but no one could talk as fast as he pretended to. He just wabbled his tongue at me, but I'd Ehown him that Americans can't, be imposed upon, and I catr! away Well, sir, I'm awfuly glad I met you, and I'm glad to meet any American. Gee-crge Harry! if France had men like ours the wouldn't be going down hill so fast. I give her three years and six weeks to get to perdition. Good night, and como and see me In Noo York."

Then, of course, argus people who cannot imagine that Dickem invented anything, that boat must still be standing on the beach. Having thus raa.Ce up their minds, they select some especial house which in some distant way remind them of a boat, and insist that It Is tu original house of Peggotty. This alleged Peggotty'a house is like the shop kept by Sol Gills at the sign of the Little Midshipman. Whenever any dealer in instrumsiitg puts up outside of his London shop a figure remotely suggesting a midshipman his shop is sure to be pointed out as the original shop kept by Sol Gills and Captain Cuttle. There have been at least three of these genuine and original Little Midshipman shops in different parts of London within my recollection, and I doubt if Dickens ever saw any one of them. Pcggotty's house is precisely as authentic as a Dickens relic as are the Little Midshipman shop?, but for all that It will probably be bcught by some lover of Dickens, and perhaps Miss Marie Cnrelll will constitute herself the guardian of lCaftcr she has grown tired of trying to patronize Shakspeare. Prophets In Thrlr Own City. Owen Winter, In Literary Era. For fifteen years the Pegasus Club has met and written verses in Philadelphia, its members not infrequently publishing their productions mostly elsewhere. It is the oldest, if not the only, club of the sort la the country. About sixteen of its members have been accustomed to write verse, and of these six are Included in Mr. Stedman's Aniuulogy. This is an honor which many a town would know and mention somewhat freely; but we don't mention these things in Philadelphia. When a Rostonlan is told that another Bostonian has distinguished himself, he replies, "Quite natural." When a Philadelphian Is told that another Phlladelphian has distinguished himself, he replies. "Quite Impossible." No generality Is wholly true not even this one. But surely, that one clttb in our town shoull contribute so handsomely to Stedman's Anthology Is worth notice and who has noticed it? What Ue Found. Denver Times. "Yes," said the man who was telling th story. "I was looking through one of my old vests " "And found a $3 note?" And found " "Ten?" "As I was sayln?, I was looking throusa a vest that I hadn't worn for a year, and found a duplicate of a bill I just receive! In the mall." Ex-President Harrison Tries Golf. When Edward Bok. edltoV of the Ladles' Home Journal, heard that ex-President Harrison was practicing golf on a links near Indianapolis, he took a new ball out of his golf bag and expressed it to the gen. eral, with the word?, "Drive th's." In a few days came back a dispatch: "Thanks. I have. Bat doesn't a bottlt of liniment go with each ball? "BENJAMIN HARRISON." Mr. Kohlsaat's Rejoinder. Cleveland Plain Dealer. "What Is the cause of all that noise ar.d confusion in the streets to-night?" the old employe of the Chicago Times-Herald atked Editor Kohlsaat. "They are celebrating the first annual birthday of the now century," replied Mr. Kohlsaat with much dignity.
