they are getting even on the stalwarts who
crowded the bribery charges to the extent of
having several of the Depew men indicted.
During the last week, at the Sutro tunnel,
the main tunnel has been strengthened, the
car track repaired and some timbering done.
Eighty-four feet have been driven lnthe south
lateral, making a total length r.of 4,O23 feet.
The temperatures observed have ranged from
so degrees at the entrance to LOG al the Julia.
TIT flow of water is equal to +,4S5,30O gallons
daily.
Here are some suggestive figures. The San
Francisco Commercial Herald says, that in
that city, with the houses largely of wood,
and with a population of 1913 900, the total
assessed valuation of all property, real and
persc nal is $2o3 900 900. In Hamilton coun-
", Ohio, which includes Cincinnati, and has
much larger population than San Francisco,
it is $2O7, OOO, 900 and in St. Louis with a
population of 100000, it is only Sl65,ooc,-
coo.
Guitteau is possessed of the proverbiai
modesty of a latter day politician and office
seeker. He first wanted the Mission to Aus
tria. Failing in this he expressed a willing
ness to accept the Consul Generalship at
Paris. Not gaining this he desired the Cor
sulship at Marseilles. Being disappointed in
obtaining the latter position, he has finally
settled down in a very snug quarter-a hVe
by eight cell in a District of Columbia prison.
,-- Alma a.. ,~o ots,ol fl,, f,nt that on
experiment was being made of shipping
wheat. from St. Paul to New Orleans by
barges. From a dispatch sent out by the
general manager of the enterprise we learn
that the experiment was a complete success.
The wheat arrived at New Orleans all right,
sound and fresh, and has been loaded in the
steamer for GLASGOW, the point of its destina-
nation. The St. Paul Pioneer Press in
speaking of it says:
This wheat stood a magnificent test. 1t
went through amid rainy and >teaming hot
weather, and if ever wheat had a right to get
heated, it was then and there. in those harges.
No test could have been better. Further
shipments of wheat for Europe may now be
looked for ut the st. Paul levee. and d -four
ishing trade butt up that will make ST. Paul
more than ever a wheat market"
Mr.. Charles Brallauyh IS as persistent as
ever. He has been Informed that the Cati-
net will not proceed further during the pres
ent session with the Parliamentary Oaths
bill, aad disregarding the order of the House
expelling him, he has written to the speaker
that he considers the order illegal AID will
again present himself at the table of the
House to take the oath. In the meantime
the reaker has informed the House that the
. order expeiling Mr.. Bradlaugh must be OBJ
served, and that the gentleman will rot de
permitted to intrude himself within the pre-
eincts of the House until he promises not 20
disturb its proceedings. 1t appear Mr..
Bradlaugh's only hope to gain his seat in the
Commons lies in his renouncing his intidel-
ity and joining the Established Church.
Twice his constituents have elected him end
as often as he been refused his seat in the
House, but it seems the obstinate member
proposes to fight it out on his chosen line If
it shall consume his remaining years.
The New York Commercial Bu Netin says
The question of a reduction in the running
time by the through route between San Fran
cisco and New York is being considered by
the arrangements of the overland railroads.
The present running time across the CONT
nent is six days, three and One-quarter hours.
1t is said that the Union Pacific is intendingt to
reduce its running time between Ogden and
Omaha, or Council Bluffs, so as to connect
with the morning trains from the latter place
to Chicago, instead of the evening trains as at
present. This would result in a connection
with the morning trains from Chicago to New
York, and the arrival in that city of Califor-
MIA passengers five and one-half days out from
San Francisco. The adoption of such a time
schedule via the Central and Union Pacific
railroads would be followed by all equal re-
duction in the running time via the Southern
Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka x Santa Fe
roads. The same time it is said can be made
by both the transcontlnental routes.
The following from the New York Tribune
of the 9Th inst, shows that the Mormon Mis-
sionaries do not return from the old country
empty handed.
Three European steamships landed 2,34t
emigrants at Castle Garden yesterday. Among
the 1916 on the Guion steamship Wyoming
were TAO Mormon converts, of whom 6H
we're Scandinavians, and the others from Eng
land, Scotland and Wales. They were &C
c~ompanied by nineteen Mormon missionaries
who have been about two years abroad II
search of proselytes. The converts ARE most
~ families of all ages, the men generally be
ing mechanics and farmers. They will be
forwarded to Salt Lake by a special train oI
