TALKS PLAIN Congressman Ralney Replies to Harrmian and Others DEFIANT IN SPEECH 8ays Two Methods of Progress Prosent Themselves to Every New Congressman?Either Represent the People and lie Frowned On, or the Trusts and He Petted. Washington, Fob. 22.?Congressman Henry T. Rainoy, of Illinois, today made a boated reply to the denials of William Nelson Cromwell and his associates concerning the Panama canal purchase, made in answer to Mr. Itainey's accusations contained in his sensational speech in the House January 26th. Mr. Uainey said in part: "I have not been a member of this body long, as terms of service are reckoned here, but I have been a member long enough to learn that to every representative in congress, early in his career, two methods of progress present themselves. One, a particularly easy and pleasant method; the other harder and more difficult. If you select the first and the more easy career, it is only necessary for you to remember that you must not antagonize great corporations or men of great wealth, unless you (lo It In genernl terms. You must absolutely fall to soe evidence of individual guilt in public matters; or if you do soo it, you must keep still about it. If you pursue this course, your stay in Washington will bo pleasant and agreeable. White house dinners follow and an entro into the constantly increasing winter colony of millionaires in this city. If you are a lawyer of somo experience this course opens up for you possibilities of lucrative employment and largo retainers in New York city at the close of your congressional career, and some times even sooner than that. "If, however, you como here with a more serious motive nnd select the other course, you may expect to encounter difficulties. In the first nlace. von must Tint ptnoot tn no I vited to participate In the social functions of the very rich, even if you would like to be invited. If, in the discharge of your duties under the oath you havo taken, you discover and denounce gross improprieties affecting the administration and men in high position, you may expoct to ho villifled, abused and misrepresented in the editorial columns of the newspapers friendly to tho administration and you must expect to be abused and misrepresented on this floor by the representatives of tho interests you attack. On the 26th day of January T discussed at some length on this floor certain matters pertaining to the republic of Panama and the connection of tho present administration and its advisors with tho same. I followed it up with one or two shorter speeches on the same subject later on, and I have succeeded in bringing upon myself villification, misrepresentation and abuse almost without a parallel in tho history of the body." Mr. Rainey said he had been accused of obtaining his information in tlie Panama matter from ex-convicts and blackmailers. "The president of the United States," ho said, "finds it proper to give to the press a letter addressed to the representative of an alleged republic, in which he refers to me by naino and makes a personal attack upon me. The president-elect, ' hurrying to this capitol heard also the signals of distress, and if ho is reported correctly in the newspapers, responded to me in the speoch ho made on his way here, ho has grossly misrepresentated what I said. "I want now to say the tho president of the United States, who seems at the present time to be reading my speeches, I want to say to tho president-elect, and to all these newspapers so anxious to obtain favor with tho next administration by abusing me and misrepresenting what I say in their editorial columns, and T want to say to you who have vlllifled and misrepresented me on this floor, that I propose to continue this fight and you cannot stop me by call jus mu names ana by directing at me a system of personal abuso and misrepresentation." Mr. Rainey denied that he had ever asked the New York World for any Information in his canal investigations, or that they had ever tendered him any. He knew of no reason, however, why he should not get information from the New York World or from any other reliablo source. > In conclusion he warned Mr. Cromwell's representatives on this floor and his "press bureaus'* that at somo future time he proposed to further discuss his resolution, particularly that part of it relating to what has become of the $40,000,000 paid for TRAINS COLLIDE THE ACCIDENT WAS FOLLOWED BY FIRE, Which Burned to a Crisp the Bodice of Seven Among tho Injured.

CHASED BY WOLVES MADE A NARROW K8CAPE FROM A WILD PACK. Climbs a Signal Post and Stays There Until Ilo Is Rescued by an Engineer. Vienna, Feb. 23.?Josef Szaho, a railway inspector of the permanent way, has had a narrow escape from being eaten by a pack of wolves near Csap, Hungary. Ilo was running down the lino on a trolley when he heard the howl of the wolves, and though ho worked the trolley as fast as he could, they were soon in close pursuit. He kept them at hay for a time by bring his revolver, hut his cartridges were becoming exhausted, and finally, having momentarily distanced the pack by killing one of the brutes, he leaped from his trolley and climbed up "a signal post. He remained there for three hours, by which time it had grown dark, and on hearing the approach of a train lie set fire to his handkerchief. This attracted the attention of the driver, who stopped the train, and the official was rescued from tlie perilous position half frozen to ilea th. SPUING IS COMING. Some Sure Indications That It Is On Its Way. The indications of spring are now fast developing. The air will soon ho laden with sweet perfume of apple, plum and cherry blossoms and spring onions; the seductive notes emanating from the interior conscience of the festive treo agent and the persuasive lightning-rod man will soon be heard In the land. Tho lilac bush will soon burst out In its showers of blue and white, simultaneous with the (ludo whose oxterior measures tho shallowness of the interior of his cranium, the ladies, iird vuii uiuoo ai u ui iti^ru in light and airy raiment, summer silks, charming head gear, just too sweet for anything. The great American institution, the tramp, starts out from his winter quartrs and he's off to tho rural districts, beating sap out of railroad ties, and the farmer out of a square meal, giving a wide berth to wood piles, bull dogs and city marshals; the young men gather themselves together into parties of three and four, dig bait, cm, poles, and then "cut sticks" for tho happy fishing grounds, with a couple of sandwiches in their pockets. The spring poet, the same ono we killed last year, comes to life again, and springs more of the same kind upon the impecunious pencil pusher, putting tho latter into a helpless state of lassitude, and a "tired" feeling generally; the old man puts new hinges on the iron gate, whitewashes the chicken coop, digs in tho garden about five minutes, and then iroes down to the drug store and swears for "back ache;" his better half has a wild look in her eye as she sits down and tells the hired girl that they'd better commence on "the best room" first. Indications on every hand tell us that spring is here. There is not any better Salvo than DeWltt's Carbolized Witch Hazel Salve.
