The Graphic's Washington CORES
pondent says that son OF the late Min.
lister to Peru, Hurlburt. who was With
his father when he died. Is in the city.
he says that his father regarded Ship
herd as a crazy man on the subject Of
the Cachet claim. He knew there was
not the least foundation for the claim;
that Shepherds scheme had no basis
whatever, that he paid no attention to
hins and used TO laugh at his strange
letters till he lost patience with the fell
low and heard that the people of the
country were apparently losing sight of
the main issue and being carried away
by the attentions of Shipherd, whom he
knew to be fraud, and his alleged
claim to be nothing at all. He sent the
whole correspondence to the State De-
partment, and then for the first time it
was known that Shipherd had offered
bribe of quarter million of his worth
less stock. because Gen. Hurlburt had
never told anyone about it but his
brother, who had advised him to go on
to his post without making disclosure
OF it. Hurlburt will be here for some
days, settling his fathers business. 1t
is not likely he will be summoned to ap-
pear before the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, for they have already full evi-
dence which convinces them of the
fraudulent character of Shepherds pre-
tensions.

Fast Raiireadinx.
The fast time between the Missouri
river and Denver being made by the
rival railroads is attracting a good deal
of attention. The Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe made the first move, ann0unc-
ing schedule time of q hours between
Kansas City and Denver. The Kansas
Pacific Division Of the Union Pacific re-
taliated with a 26-hour train and now
announces new through schedule en-
bracing not only Denver but also Chey-
enne, Ogden and San Francisco, begin
ming tomorrow. The trains will leave
Kansas City at 9.45 am. and reach
Denver at $40 a.m., actual running
time being % hours and 45 minutes.
The same train will reach Cheyenne at
1i:l5 pm, or 27I1 hours, connecting
| with the overland train for San Fran
! cisco. A similar record is made for
trains to leave Cheyenne after the arri-
val of the overland express at 3 pm,
leave Denver at 7:3O pm, and arrive at
Kansas City in - hours and L. minutes.
The Union Pacific threatens to make q
hot fight now, and bring about even

fight. As yct there has been no cutting
of rates.
