A Washington dispatch says pros

A Washington dispatch says pros
poets open for an explosion in the
democratic camp, and exposure. The
democratic managers during the pres
idential canvass are openly charged
by leading democratic congressman
with Hancock's defeat. No satisfac-
tory account has been rendered by
Barnum of the money he received as
chairman of the national committee.
Investigation is proposed in order to
require Barnum to make an explicit
financial texhibit. 1t is stated that
the total sum spent in Indiana was
SlO5,OOO, while the national committee
appropriated $125,OO0. Who got the
difference between these sums? Other
ugly facts are said to be leaking out.
The democratic congressional commit
tee is S25, 900 in debt and has offered
to pay 60 cents on the dollar, which
some small creditors have been obliged
to accept.

things in telegraph lines now proposed
by the Jay Gould branch of monopo-

to be laid from America to England;
one by way of Cuba and Brazil, for

MARROW GAUGE RAILROADS.
Total Mileage up to January Regions Of Great
est Increase.

Total Mileage up to January Regions Of Great.
est Increase.
Statistics collected lately by the Chic
ago RaiI,Uay Age shows that there at pres
ent 5.96157 miles of narrow gauge rail-
road in this country, as against 4 1875
at the beginning of 1879. Colorado takes
the lead with S02.5O miles, and Ohio
comes next with 1853 81. o lio had 552.2S
miles in 1879 and Colorado 46715. Tex.
as comes third with 49l'4O miles, and
Pennsylvania fourth with 1929. Tex
as had only 296.50 miles in 1879 to Penn.
sylvania's 34948, and Utah Territory
was also ahead of her with 3l4 70, which
have been decreased to 2472O in 1881,
Thus it will be seen that narrow gauge
roads increase most rapidly in Comparao
lively undeveloped regions. Of the
narrow gauge roads in existence two
years ago, 10 per cent. of the mileage
has been or is about to be changed to
standard or taken up, This added to the
present existing mileage would make
the narrow gauge mileage thus far con.
struCted in the United States, 6.620 miles,
or about per cent. of the total railway
mileage of the country on January 1st,
The MILEAGE of narrow gauge roads
which have been or are about to be
changed to standard, mostly by absorp-
ton by existing lines, is GAS 40, while
the Cherokee, little standard gauge
road of IA miles in Georgia is to be mar
rowed. The tendency lately has been
toward the consolidation of these little
roads into narrow gauge trunk lines, and
the result has been that whenever such
step can be contemplated as possibil"
ity, this kind of property ls looked upon
as more valuable than formerly. Trunk
lines of turee feet gauge, were, of course,
enthusiastically looked forward to in the
days when it was actually claimed that
the standard gauge of four feet eight and
a-half inches would be superseded by
the narrow, but since the freight traffic
of the country has grown to such an ex~
tent that the capacity of narrow gauge
roads for carrying nearly as much fleight
as standard roads of the same mileage
has shown itself, the trunk line Combi-
nations are reviving, The Toledo, Del
phos & Burlington is notable instance
of narrow gauge enterprise, which is to
extend to st. Louis, and ultimately con-
templates connection with Mexico and
the Palmer.Sullivan system, to which
the Denver & Rio Grande system is
allied,

HOW THE CzAR WAS MURDERED.
II was at first difficult to obtain the au.
thentic particulars of the murder of the
Gar Alexander II. The following, from
the St. Pete sburg correspondence of the
London Times, is authentic and new:
when the first explosion occurred ON
the Cath 4rine canal, Col. Dvorjitsky who
was sledging about half dozen yards
behind the Imperial carriage, and Capt.
Koch aid Kulebiakan, who together
we're following few yards far her in the
rear, all came up to the rescue, and az.
sisted the Emperor out of the broken
carriage. The Emperor calculated,
"Thank God" and pointed to dead
Cossack and wounded boy. Risakoti,
safe in the hands of the crowd, over
heard this and said 1T is tco soon yet
to hank Cod" Then followed the seco
ond explosion, while the Emperor was
viewing the spot where the first took
place. When the smoke cleared away
there lay among others, the laCerated
body of the martyr Cz r. At this mo-
ment various persons, including the
Grand Duke Michael, came up and lifted
wounded monarch into Col. Dvojits-
ky's sledge, Count Hendrikoff placing
his own fora cap on His Maiesty's bare
head. Before losing consciousness the
Emperor onlv whispered that he was
cold, an wished to be taken to the Win
t.r Palace to die. Nine of the Emperor's
{fite AID eleven bystanders were injur-
9o, II ee Of the whole number dying
q ort, after the event. The bombs en-.
ployed were tin globes, each con:aining
about five poun ls OF explosive material,
apparently nitro glycerine. Two witness
ses ID noticed Rsakoff walking along
the canal before the deed, with some-
thing wrapped in a handkerchief, and
then saw him hurl this something under
the horses of the escort. When he had
been seized and relieved of his pistol
and dagger, the assassin even smiled and
at the Police Station thanked the con-
stables for sa7ing him from the rage Of
the crowd. The thrower of the second
shell was seen to raise his hands high
above his head and dash something
down at the Emperor's feet. This wretch
expired soon afterwards from the effect
of his own petard."

TIE Leader remarks that the late Leg.
islature at its last session did not make
some appropriations it ought to have
made, because the appropriation bill
twas 80 loaded down with deficiencies
carried over from the Democratic admin
istration of two years ago." 1t is posi-.
BILE the Leader may have some readers
sufficiently wooden.hesded to take that
statement as a fact, but every sensible
person knows it is all stuff. "DefCien-
cies" are not carried over two years, and
if there were any "deficienCies' caused
by the Democratic administration of two
years ago, they we're provided for by the
appropriation bill passed last year. The
deficiencies" Of the present year were
made under Republican reorganization,
and by Republican officers, and if they
were so great that needful appropriations
could not be made, the Republican party
is to blame for it,-PlaiD Dealer.

be sent, under the authority of France
and the United States, to make further
explorations in that mysterious country.
The chief promoter of the expedition is

the greater part of the cost will be borne,
In numbers and equipment nothing will
be lacking; casts of the important bas-
reliefs and inscriptions will be takeny
whereby scholars in all parts of the

civilization not less interesting than the
old monuments of Egypt and Assyris,
From what is already known, it is sup"
posed the builders of these temples had
intimate relations with Cambodia aud
Java, if they were not actually emigrants
from those countries. Interesting Atm
tiles have been made out by linguistic
students, some of whom believe that
the table land of Peru, and not that Of
Asia, was the cradle of the human race;
and that the Hittites of Scripture, dur
ing their wanderings, settled in Peru,

cite our astonishment, Hence it will be
