He remarked that the Mel- bourne exhibition was to take piace during the present year, while the French celebration was not to he held until 1889, and iG was for that rea- son Uhat the present resoluuoa Was given prece- dence. A BOYCOTT AGAINST FRANCE’S CELEBRATION. ‘Mr, McAdoo was pleased to hear that the French invitation Would be acted upon favorably. ‘There had been, he sald, a premeditated effort on the Part of monarchical nations to bring «bout a sort of international boyco.t aginst the Frenen celebra~ tion. If tue greacest republicof Europe, which nad ‘sustained itsell against monarchical intrigue, Was left to struggle ayalnst the attempt to suppress its celebration without generous suppyrt frum tue United States, 1b would be a disgrace to thls country. ‘Mr, Phelps (N.

THE INVITATION ACCEPTED AFTER A LONG DEBATE. ‘the House has passed the joint resolution ac- cepUng the invitation extended to te United ‘States to participate in the Melbourne exposition. Senator Butler's Railroad Bi HOW HE PROPOSES TO REGULATE RATES AND PRE- ‘VENT ACCIDENTS. * Senator Butler has introduced the bill to amend the interstate law which he outlined tn an inter- ‘view in Tue Stam several months ago. It pro- vides that no railroad shall charge for transporta- ton of passengers more than two cents per mile for any distance ovr 200 miles; also, that no common carrier subject to the provisions of the Jnverstate act shall require any employe enguyed in or connected with the transportation of passen- gers to work more than twelve hours cousecu- Uvely.” During the recess: of Congress, tn, his travels over different railroads, Senator’ Butler, from actual experience in railroad uccidents be. ‘cume convinced that one of the chief causes of the frequent catastrophes was the overworking of em- ployes on passenger trains; that engineers con- juctors, and brakemen are kept steadiiy on duty for more hours than human nature cau endure, ‘and maintain the alertness necessary to the safety of passenger trains.
