Quicker Railroad Travel.

Chicago, 27.-The belief that the
Pennsylvania Railroad is about to put
on train to run from here to New York
on greatly reduced time comes from
dispatch from q railroad official now in
San Francisco. That the agent Of the
Pennsylvania road there was advertising
that after November 1st passengers by
the Pennsylvania road would be carried
from San Francisco to New York in
FIVE days and two hours. As change
in time will not be made by the western
roads it is certain the change will be
made by the Pennsylvania between here
and New York. It is also learned here
that this company intends to run Its $3.50
train to New York from here, so as to
reach there By O'Clock next afternoon,
instead of 10 o'clock st night. The
saving will be six hours, snd the running
time from San Francisco to New York,
which is now six days and six hours,
will be decreased by that much.

GeneraI Sherman ON CaIifornia.

General Sherman, in his speech at the dinner of
the Merchants Association in Boston recently
paid fine compliment to the merchants and gave
a very interesting and graphic description of the
changes which tlirty-fve years have brought to
California. California" he said, lin 1916 was six
and half months from New York by land or by
sea. Gold had not been discovered there wheat
could not be raised there, it was supposed; there
was nothing but California bank bills in the
shape of hides, and you Boston merchants had the
control of the whole of that trade and suppose it
didn't exceed $4,000 or $4,000 per year. was in
California few days ago, and they talk of a thou
sand ships of thousand tons each as being neces-
sary to carry off the wheat of that country. The
gold crop has fallen away to about thirty millions
and the silver to about the same twenty-seven or
thirty millions; and the products of California,
believe second or third of the great States
of this Nation for shipment abroad-and all the
creation of our day.
There are merchants, suppose as good as you
are: ships fine any that sail out of your har-
Dor; manufacturing establishments where thirty
years ago you could not get your horse Shod; no.
tells which surpaSS in magnifcence those in Paris
or New York, or BOSton-al the creation of our own
day and the brain of mercantile men. You men
of Boston have had your share in it, and in doing
sOyOu have accomplished more in your lives than
probably any merchants of old Ph@nicia, or Greece
or Venice, or any land on earth. l have no doubt
you gentlemen, you or your fathers Immediately
before you have done more for the civilization of
mankind than all the merchants who ever lived in
ancientor modern times prior to the existence of
Boston,
