Lively Time.

CHICAGO, June 3.-The fast time between
the Missouri river and Denver that is being
made by rival railroads Is attracting good
deal OF attention. The Atchlson, Topeka &
Santa Fe made the first move, Announcing
schedule time of twenty eight hours between
Kansas City and Denver. The Missouri Pa
cific division Of the Union Pacific retaliated
with twenty-six hour train, and it now an
nounces new through schedule, embracing
not only Denver, but also Cheyenne, Ogden
and San Francisco. Beginning tomorrow,
the trains will leave Kansas City at 9:45 a.
m. and reach Denver at $50 IN. the actual
running time being twenty-five hours aud
forty-ive minutes. The same train will
reach Cheyenne at Ills p. m. or twenty
seven and a-half hours, connecting with the
overland train for San Francisco. a similar
record is made East. Trains leave Chey-
enne after the arrival Of the overland ex-
press, at p. m, leave Denver at 7:30 D. m.
and arrive at Kansas City In twenty two
hours and fifteen minutes. The Union Pa
cific threatens to make hot fight now and
bring about even faster time. The BurIing-
ton will soon begin to run its passenger
trains and will probably be lively factor in
the hght. As yet there has been no cutting
Of rates.

GUILTY GuITEAU.
The Punishment of the Assassin Begun.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Gmteau realizes
every succeeding day which hastens him
toward that time when the sentence of the
law will be executed. The cheerful de-
meanor and hopeful expressions which char
acteIized him throughout have vanished.
His familiar accent and bravado are gone,
and in their stead an ashen hue Of terror has
appeared. Reading and writing, once his
favorite occupations, are not now resorted to
BY the assassin. His earnest ponderings are
only relieved when occasionally he PAGES the
stone floor Of his cell, and unmlndful of the
death watch whose eyes are ever upon him,
he wrings his hands and talks in the most
incoherent manner. A few nights siuce, he
retired to his cot about 10 o'clock, and In
less than half an hour woke in the most
startled manner, and looking wildly, ex-
claimed, 81 see horrible phantasms before
me. What shall do? My poor brain reels.
Oh, why did / assassnate him." 1t took
some time to pscify the assassin, and when
he became quiet he quietly SAID, "Dont
mind what said, was dreaming. We all
dream at times. am no coward, nor am
afraid to die" But he continued: at is
not possible that President Arthur is going
TO permit them to hang me after what l did
to redeem the Republican party. l do not
believe he will. If he reprieves me or COM
mutes my sentence, hoodlums will howl but
the respectable element of society," will stand
by him and endorse his action" Having re-
lieVed his mind on that score, Guiteau again
retired to his cot, but only to find troubled
rest.

Adverse Mining Claim Eli.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The bill recent v
introduced by Senator Chilcott of Colorado
provides that when an adverse claim is filed !,
the parties so contrasting this patent shall, In
case they fail TO sustain their claim by proof,
be liable to the applicant for patent or his
grantees for bill Of expenses of the dam
ages which shall be incurred by, or result
from tie filing of such protest or objection.
The object of the bill is TO prevent annoy
ances and actual blackmail against appl-
cants for patents. In many cases parties
having no shadow of title to a mining
claim will file an adverse claim in order to
be bought of and paid for not botherng the
owners any longer. This is done so often in
mining regions, and is such source Of an
noyance to owners Of property, that the bill
Is true public benefit and ought to pass. II
has the approval of Secretary Teller, as veil
as Senator Hill, chairman of the committee
on mines. and mining, to which committee 1t
was referred. An amendment will be added
requiring parties filing adverse claims to give
security for costs.

THE sEcRETARYsHrP.

In April 1876 James III. Mills was commits
sion expired November Z, 1881; President
Arthur having been previously notified that
the incumbent was not an applicant for re-
appointment. In April, 1882, Isaac ID. Nc
Cutcheon, ESQ.,, of Charlotte, Mich, was APP
pointed Secretary by President Arthur, and on
June /. 1882, the office was transferred 70
him at Helena, the Ex-Secretary returning
to p-l-,te life, If editing newspaper can be
80 aesignated. During the years he held the
Office he endeavored to conduct 1t properly,
and with those who had business relations
with II, and the Government, whose dlsburs-
ing agent he was, rests the dicision whether
he failed or succeeded. The Office was not
primarily of his seeking, and II was relin-
quished without regret. II was the first
civil Office he had held. There was nothing
occurred during the incumbency TO render 1t
unpleasant, but the desire TO hold Office had
not existed and did not develop. The salary
was not sufficient to warrant the relinquish-
menl of business he had worked many
years to establish In Deer Lodge, and a.
though the law does not so require, we have
always believed the Secretary should reside
1t the capital. Under these circumstances
q re-appointment was not desired. We wish
in this connection TO thank the many friends
who did us good service as occasion requir-
ed, and being out OF Office to state that II is
no. eur present intention te remove from
Montana.

Secretary, Is from Michigan, where his father
located when that State was In Its primeval
grandeur, and reared his sons TO toll In clear

A NEVADA MINING PERIL.
The Alta Mine Flooded and Seven Men
Imprisoned.

/ VIRGINIA, New, May 31.-At 8 O'CLOCK
this morning the pump-column of the Alti
mine broke, causing a pressure of water OF
the newly constructed bulkhead on the 215(
east drift, so great as TO cause IL to give wa,
about eleven o'clock. 1t flooded the ives
drift on the same level, where shift ofmin
ers were working. As the bulkhead gave
way, Bennett, the shift boss, ran into the
drift to warn the men of danger, and is now
with six others imprisoned 400 feet west oil
the shaft by hot water. The drift has O
grade of one foot to 100 feet, making the end
| Of the drift where the men were working
fourteen feet above the floor of the station.
The water is at the roof of the station ten
feet high. Compressed air Is being sent into
the drift in the hope of keeping the men
alive Until the water is lowered. At nine
o'clock tonight the pump was working eight
and half strokes to the minute, and two
tanks had just been successfully started. The
combined capacity of the pumps and tanks
is 1000 gallons minute, and should no acci-
dent occur the men may be reached to-mor-
row morning.
When the bulkhead gave way the men had
barrel of water. But little hope is enter
tanned that they will be found alive. Every
thing possible is being done to reach them,
and men are a. the surface water to keep the
floating timber from interfering with the
tanks, The works are surrounded with the
an ~ g.; L. -
great excitement prevails. The names of
the men imprisoned in the drift are p.
Deeny, NJ. Curran, I. Mcdonald, John Black,
John Mulligan, Morris Connors and Richard
Bennett.
SAN FRANCISCO, June "a Virginia
City dispatch says: Early this morning
small hunting skiff, with Richard Bennett
and Dennis Callahan on board, yentured
into the Alta drift in search of the impris-
oned miners. Neither have since been heard
from and it Is feared both were sutIocated by
the heat and gas. Shortly after German,
known as Dutch George, tried to wade into
drift, but soon returned delirious. He saw
light and boat, but no men. Two other
men attempted to wade in, but found the
heat and gas unsupportable aud returned
after going short distance. 1t is reported
that raps are still heard on the air pipe,
indicating that the imprisoned miners are
still alive.
SAN Francisco, June ga Virginia City
special tonight says six men penetrated the
Alta drift with refreshments for the impris-
oned miners. All wore ice helmets to enable
them to pass the belt of 800 feet of foul air
between the entrance and the end of the
drift. The prisoners were found in compar-
atively good condition. They had turned
the water from the drift into their ice key.
When emptied they twisted the end of the
compressed air pipe into the barrel and
standing around breathed air thus cooled as
1t rose through the water. About midnight
all were removed from the drift the whistles
along the lode signalling the event. The
bodies of Bennett and Callahan, who per-
ished in attempting to rescue them by boat,
are recovered.

POSTMASTER GENERAL HOWE In his letter
to Congress Recommending the abolition Of
postage upon newspapers and magazines,
says: at may well be doubted If the whole
people get as much information Of pnblic
affairs from volumes gratuitously thrown at
them by the Government as they do from
newspapers and magazines which they pur-
chase and pay for" The Postmaster-Gene-
raj recites other considerations which lead
him to the conclusion, saying "CoDgress may
at the present safely abrogate all discrimna-
tion between subscribers to newspapers and
magazines and send the same through the
mails without charge, whether such subscribe
srs are within the county of publication or
out of It,"

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Chief Justice
Carter and Judges James and Hagner con-
stituted the court en- banc to-day, and rem
dered decision upon the last motion filed
by Reed in behalf of Guiteau. The Chief
Justice delivered the decision as follows In
the case of Guiteau the judges who listened
20 the argument in that case have come to
the, conclusion that they have exhausted
their powers upon 1t that they have heard
1t patiently, fully, and fairly, and that a re-
argument would bring no other conclusion
than that already arrived at, and they de-
clined to reopen the case for argument.
The Jail officials say that the fact becomes
more apparent every day that Guiteau is
failing mentally and physically. His condi-
ton yesterday was startling in the extreme,
and forebodes total smash up before the
SOtb. A certain sign of physical and mental
disintegration is the failure of persons ap-
petite. Guiteau's appetite is failing. He
has become taciturn and uncommunicative
since lawyer Reeds visit yesterday, and
spends his entire time between rising and
retiring in lying stretched on his cot, ponder
Ing, perhaps, on the few intervening days
between life and death.
He Will surely fail before hanging day, is
the opinion Of those who see and know him,
and the Jail officials will have TO carry him
to the scafiold and prop him up until the
drop falls. An AFFECT fear has taken posses
sion of him, and the assassin will present
pitiable appearance when the penalty is
reached. Some are inclined to think he will
go stark mad few days prior to the event,
and present indications surely point in that
direction. One thing is certain, and that is,
Guiteau will surely sink into abject fear and
become seriously sick or wholly crazy before
many DAYS elapse.

Changing Time or EIec,ions.

WASHINGTON, May 81. A local paper in
discussing the situation in California says;
Il Is thought that the change In time Of hold.
ing the State elections in California from
September to November is likely to serious
~ affect the size Of the vote. Little rain
fallsln September and the roads are In good
condition, and consequently the farmers
come out In force to vote. But November
- one ofthe most rainy months OF the year
and It Is feared that this will reduce mater
tally the number Of voters. The election in
the State this year Is important.

BALLooSINo Is not so dangerous business
to skillful aeronauts as one who goes up the
first time might suppose. The last time we
saw Eugene GODDARD he was thousand feet
In air over Allegheny City, Pa, hanging by
bis feet from an iron bar susp pended ten feet
below the basket Of balloon. That was
more than twenty-five years ago. Since then
be has been constantly in the business, and
was aeronaut with the French army in the
Italian and other campaigns and sieges. AT
Berlin, Germany, he made q few days since
his 16G7th ascent. IL is estimated he has
travelled over 5000 miles In air, and l. is
hardly necessary to add is still alive and
