Who Is ogtng to be mayor pro tem.7" These are the questions that are being fired back aud forth from one to the other, and Invnrlably the answer Is a negative shake of the head. “Cap” Joyner has the art of wrardtng off questions down to perfection.

Washington, Dec. 20.—Representa tive Hardwick, of Georgia, has already been assured of wide support In the house for his hill to compel all rail roads to adopt the telegraphic block signal system In the handling of all trains and to require the examination and licensing of all telegraph opera tors engaged- In managing the block signals. . It Is asserted on high authority to day that the Interstate commerce com mission Is In sympathy with his plan. He had a conference today with sev eral members of the commission, and although the nature of the conference Is kept from the public, the fact that there was a conference Is conclusive evidence that the commission would like to see the blit passed and will do everything In their power that Is prop er for such a result. Tho feature of the measure allowing the Interstate commerce commission to regulate the number of hours the tele graph operators shall be employed Is also highly recommended In the house. Hardwick said today his motive Mr. In Introducing the bill was to do away with the repetition of the appalling wrecks that have occurred recently on some of tho railroads of the country.
