pauy is in telegraphic communication

The latter station is in communication
with the Faraday. 1t is exI ected that
the Faraday will touch the buoy and

The Representative of the Union Pa
cifc R. 3. met yesterday to complete
tie details for the removal of the minoi
obstacles to the signing of the contract
between them and the Occidental and
Oriental Steamship Co. of California. :
As q result of the deliberations both
parties signed the document. The
Times says: g Nothing remains but to
get the vessels chartered in Liverpool
and bring them out to San francisco.
They are tie Baltic. Celtic and Oceaui-
ca of the White Star line, and have been
chartered by the Occidental and Orien-
tai Steamship Co. for two years at per
cent. per apnum. with the privilege of
purchase at the end of that time. The
first trip will be maze February next.
Ew York, Dec. 49, Only the Tri-
bune and Times persist in blowing the
Occidental and Oriental steamer bubble,
asserting that the contarct was signed
yesterday for connection with the over
land railroads. This amounts to Moth
ing until the new steamers run else
where than on Wall Street, which is far
distant. 1t is said he railroad Compa-
ny refused to guarantee the Occidental
and Oriental Co. against loss for two
years.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1S-AWashington spe-

& Means continue marvellous secrecy
respecting the testimony of Irwin. The
committee authorize only this statement
The physical weakness of the witness is
so great that the examination cannot be
prosecuted more than two hours daily.
The testimony is so incomplete and
and fraementary that the committee
don't think justice would be done to
publish it, The Committee admit that
Irwin is willing and frank witness.

The creeping OF railroads has attracted
some attention ur late. and while We do mo,
attempt 10 explain It, We offer a point on the
fact that on lines running north and south
the western rail "Crecps" faster than the cas.
cm rail-that is, this strange movement of
the rtil toward the south is more marked In
one rail than IN the other on the same track
Furthermore, IL has been noticed that ON such
q line thc eastern rail wears out the fls;rst
bo,h Of these points, We think. can be- yy
planned by ,Aa motion of the earth as IL turn,
from Tie Yves, toward The east. EvCrythng
lii has free motion is dragged after tn,
"hif.lug globe every wind that blows and
every tide that moves feels the influence, and
our train going north or south Is pulled over
toward the cast, and naturally presses the
eastern rail most heavily. The western rail
being relieved Of its share of weight, "Crccps
more frequently aHd quickly" 1t is also no
uced that the wheels that run on the eastern
rail wear out the fastest, and We can butthnk
that this earth motion is the true cause. The
practical side of this is that the east rail
and wheels should be strongcr.-Scin'f,

FIELD sports on the Streets.

On portions of the continent Of Europe
boar hunting is regarded as royal and
princely amusement, but in Memphis boar
fights attract the average citizens, who regard
these gIadiatorial displays with evident feel
ings of pleasure and interest. which gener'
ally eliminate in an offer to bet drinks on the
general result of the combat. Yesterday,
while the religious portion of the community
were vending their way from the temples,
quite crowd Of excited Memphians congre-
gated on Main street, near Union, and
watched an improvised boar fight between the
youthful specimens Of the genus hog. The
fight continued for haitian hour, and bets were
freely offered and taken on the result. The
average man has curiosity deeply implanted
in his bosom. and the crowd continued to in
crease and obstruct the sidewalks as the fight
progressed. At last one grunter lifted the
other high in the air and carried him on his
snout several yards. The victory was won,
and the discounted brute dashed down the
alley in full retreat. The bets made were
then settled at adjacent bars-so says our
sporting reporter. The representatives of the
morning journals sent apologies for not being

THE STRIKE.
The street Car Drivers STRIKE
AE.iSsI the ~ New Advancement

The street Car Drivers strike
AgatnsG the New Arrangement
and Demand 50 per bay.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Thomas Barrett re-
sumed duties as Superintendent Of the street
car lines. and Issued new order to the effect
that instead of receiving two dollars per day
the drivers would get percentage Of receipts
ranging from one in Eve to one in six fares.
but If drivers are behind time more than two
minutes, without satisfactory causes. they will
be fined twenty cents for every MINUTE so lost.
Yesterday was the test day. and several dri-
yers made So 40. while others made 81 80 and
under 81. This caused n strike, and this
morning thirty drivers refused to so to work.
SO that on several Of the routes no care were
running. This afternoon the cars. with the
execution Of three. were running under charge
Of new drivers, as applications came in by the
dozen for the positions. The management
claims that the rule enforced Is the Chi
cage rule. and will make drivers more
attentive to business and to the interests
Of the Company, and that the drivers will
make more money than under the old system.
The strikers say that they worked from IL to is
hours per day and received 50; but that I'M
der the new rule majority Of them cannot
make that amount. and they cannot support
| themselves for less sum. The rate pre- rata
was arranged from the monthly receipts Of
corresponding months Of last year. In figures
the plan pans out very we'll. but in wages
actually received by the drivers yesterday, it
did not come up to the scratch. No fines were
imposed yesterday. and the men leaving were
Informed that they could get their e. and
quit. The public are interested in
the running of the cars on time, and would
prefer if the fare was put down to the old
rate Of five cents. This forenoon crowd of
the strikers abused the new drivers in Ian
guage NOT ct to be repeated. Thiswas an out
rage on the passengers, and mustbe prevented
in future. The better rule to adopt would be
to pay the men two dollars. and discharge
them when found to neglect their business.
