The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1880-08-11

New York, Aug. 10.-The Post this
evening says. The gross earnings Of 3S
railroads, reporting their receipts for
the month of July, show gain Of
about 80 per cent, the increase in mile
age being about AZ per cent. During the
month there was no influence ut work
to unduly stimulate traffic, although
the grain movement continued in large
volume. The earnings for seven
months from July l, show an increase
Of 25 per cent. and mileage about II
per cent. The increase is uniform
throughout the list with a solitary un-
important exception.
No more conclusive proof can be
furnished of the present magnitude
and activity Of the general trade than
the railroad receipts now published.
The continued growth Of railroad
earnings In the new country opened up
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and
the Denver Il Rio Grande is shown by
the receipts OF the latter for the first
week in August, they being about six
times what they were last year when
the mileage was 337; II Is now 6lO.

Gen. A. G.. Bracket, colonel of the
Third cavalry, with headquarters at
Fort ID. A. Russell, was made the re-
cipient yesterday of very hattering
offer. Gen. II. Z. Drnm, adjutant gen.
eral of the army, telegraphed Gen.
Brackett to know il he would accept
the appointment Of superintendent OF
the mounted recruiting service. The
general answered Immediately that
he preferred to remain with his regi-
ment. There have been several appli-
cations made by competent officers for
this position, and the fact that 1t bas
been offered unsolicited to Gen. Brack-
EFT, is n matter Of high compliment to
the general. For our own part we are
much pleased with the generals deter
mination, for he will remain in this
community where he has hosts of warm
friends who heartily join with us in
our expressions of friendly regard.

THE CANADIAN PACIFIC.
A Fssllsh uaAertakinE by the Cana
dian Government.

New York Aug. l0.-The Tribune
says: The foolish and expensive politi-
cal scheme Of the Canadian Pacific
railroad has been taken up in earnest
by the new Dominion ministry and the
aid Of the English capitalists is likely
10 be secured. There is not the least
prospect that the road will pay running
expenses during the present century.
Most Of the country IL Is 10 traverse is
barren and desolate Of inhabitants save
a few sayages. Stin the Canadian gov
ernment is pledged to build the line.
The Canadian Statesmen see no way
now 10 avoid carrying out the bad bar
gain they made when the petty colony
on the Pacific joined the confederation.
The Ballefbl says OF the route pro-
posed by the new surveying party just
started from Winnipeg TO explore the
Nelson river valley: The general route
OF the new line will be from Selkirk
with the headquarters Of the southern
terminus at Winnipeg taking a north
westerly course for distance thence
north TO the Saskatchewan river above
Grand Rapids. thence north along the
Nelson river TO point where the ocean
steamers connect. II is difficulty to
understand how IL can be expected To
make the proposed route pay. The
Hudson bay Is open for navigation only
two months of the year.

Washington, Aug. 10. -Adjutant
General Drum received telegram to-
day from Eagle Springs, stating that
there is no doubt that Victorio and at
least 100 warriors were engaged in the
fight of the 30th ult., and that they
were more severely handled than at first
reported. Their present camp is oppo-
site Del Alamo, in the mountains Of
Mexico adjoinining the river. Colonel
Vale, who is moving down the river,
has been informed Of this. The last re-
ports received from the scouts state
that the river has risen since the In
dians crossed back into Mexico and it is
only passable with great difficulty.
