Racing against the Southern Pacific.

OMAHA, August 3.--The Union Pa
cifc Railway has entered into racing
Overland freight trains against the
Southern route. Two trains loaded
with tea have made the run from San
Francisco to Chicago, via the Union
Pacific and Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy roads, in six days and frac-
ton. This run exceeds that previ-
ously made by the train of twenty
cars which made the trip from San
francisco to Kansas City only, via the
Southern Pacific and Atchison, To.
peka & Santa Fc road, in six days and
six hours. 1t should be borne in
mind the trains on the Southern route
made about the same speed per hour
as those on the Northern route, bu,
had the disadvantage of nearly SOC
miles greater distance, 50 fell behind
one day.

to give to tie press whatever 1t may
be deemed polite to publish, states to
all inquirers that the business is up to
this point of an entirely private nature
and not proper to be divulged. 1t is
stated, however, that some radical
changes are being considered in the
constitution, looking toward the abro-
CATION of the predominant power, and
influence of the Pittsburg district. 1t

the demands Of any one district must
be approved by majority of the 9TH

One who knew General Skobeleff
intimately describes him as of a hasty
temper but of singularly benignant
disposition. What faults he had were
more than redee med BY the immensely
Of his repentance. Ills acts came
from heart impulse. Even in military
affairs he was led rather by his spirit
and feelings than by intellect and
judgment. Though not luxurious, he
was nice and delicate as a refined
woman, and hated coarse linen and
material grossness. The tall figure
had SO much 1.-THE grace that one did
not observe its strength. In dress he
paid minute attention to his toilet, but
after that was careless about his ap.
pcarance. When young he was a
hard drinker, but shook off wholly the
bibulous passion. His love Of cold
baths was excessive, and he was the
best swimmer in the army. His sym.
pathy with the poor was tender and
active.

A TRIP DOWN THE RIVER.
The First Ever Known to Have Been
Made by White Men-Thc Railroad
Ties to lie Taken Out Above Bellevue.

L. H. Russell, superintendent of
Coe & Carriers ic-cutting business,
accompanied by 7. b. McShane, have
just completed a trip down Wood
River which is probably the Grst ever
accomplished by white men. Starting
from Boulder in fatboat about 4
O'Clock last Wednesday afternoon,
Messrs. Russell and McShane reached
Bellevue about 8 o'clock this morning,
having travelled over so miles by
water. Thrice a day the travellers
landed on the river bank to cook their
food, and they laid over two nights.
AS they had plenty of blankets and a
good camping outfit along, they were
quite comfortable, and enjoyed the
trip very much. They met with no
accident, and Mr.. Russell says that
for a virgin river, it is the freest
from distractions of any that he ever
saw.
The trip was undertaken for the
purpose of seeing whether any very
serious obstruction to the free passage
Of ties existed, and Mr.. Russell SAYS
that there is none. The ties will be
started down in couple Of weeks, and
are expected to reach the boom in
about ten days thereafter. They will
keep coming, however, for six weeks
after that time, and twenty men will
be kept busy taking them out Of the
river and piling them up on the bank.
The boom will be put in just this
side of Bellevue, and above the
slaughter-house. From that point
they will be hauled to the railroad by
teams, and laid as soon as received.

TIE very few real gypsies in this
country always deny that they ever
steal children, and argue that, if they
had need for any, they could easily
supply themselves from founding asy-
lums. Nevertheless, attention is call
ed to a case of actual gypsy kidnap-
ping. Fourteen years ago little
girl was taken froln a strolling party
at Genoa, Ohio, and given by the
town authorities to farmer. She
has now, at the age Of eighteen, been
identified by her parents in Michigan.

Chinese Returning Home.

WASHINGTON, August d The
bark Chesapeake, which arrived at
Baltimore Tuesday from Demerara,
brought "A Chinese passengers en-
route fer their native land. Among
them was Sin Chung, an unmarried
man aged 36 years, who, accompanied
by his brother and aged mother, was
going home to live on the fortune
which the family had accumulated by
shopkeeping in Demerara. He was
sick during the voyage, and when the
vessel arrived at Baltimore, he died
an hour or two later of hemorrhage of
the lungs.
Sin Chung being in reasonably
good circumstances had seven blouses
two white, four black, and one blue
all of which were put on his corpse,
the blue being on the outside. His
pantaloons. stockings and hat were put
in the coffin, besides his razor and
small wooden box containing a few
coins.,

In an article on wooden goods and
WOODEN machinery, the Boston Com
mercial Bulletin gives the following
facts: "Great Improvements have
been made in wooden machinery even
during the last decade, and many APP
planes had to be set aside, not be-
cause they were worn out, but because
new appliances have rendered thoi,
use Improbable. Ten years ago the
bulk Of WOODEN spinning of the coun-
try was done en- time jacks. Now
two-thirds OF it is done on self-opera-
ting mules, while the jacks are fast
following the jennies into obscurity
The building of new mills, the substi-
tuition of improved mechanism, and
replasi G Of machinery which is worn
out, must inevitably give employment,
to steadily increasing number Of
American machinists. And it is graf.
flying to note not only that most Of
the wooden machinery used in the
United States is of home production
but that American inventors orioina,
ted many machines which are now in
use in the WOODEN mills of Europe, and
are indispensable to successful manu-.
facture there"

Hope Of Passing the Revenue Dill.
WAsHINGToN, August 3.-It is ex-
pected that Congress will adjourn sine
die next Monday at noon. The real
work of the session will probably be
completed before adjournment Satur-
day night, with four outstanding ap-
priations.
In conference, to-day, the conferees
on the Legislative, Executive, and Ju-
dicial appropriation bill reached an
un lerstanding relltive to the trans
fer of lhe clerks and records for the
settlement Of pension cases from the
Adjutant-G Generals Office, to the Sur
gcon-Gsneral's Office. The report of the
conference committee was adopted by
the Senate this afternoon, and it will
be agreed to by the House tomorrow.
The conference committee on the
Naval Appropriation bill made favor
able progress at its meeting. An
agreement was reached on all of the
principal points of business save the
clause adopted by the House giving
the Secretary of the Navy discretion
to suspend work at such of the navy
yards as he may think can pro6tably
be closed. Another meeting of the
conference committee will be held TO-.
morrow, at which it is hoped final
agreement may be reached.
The House this morning refused to
agree to the clause of the General De
iiciency bill providing for the payment
to Senators of extra mileage fer the
called session Of the Senate last Octo-
Der. This law has beeM bone Of
contention between the two Houses
for weeks past, and indications to-day
arc that the Senate will recede from
its position. 1t is estimated that the
allowance for mileage for one ession
each year is sufficient to pay the act :

ton Of the Senators fully, these times.
The Sundry Civil appropriation bill,
which was passed by the Senate yes
terday, has not yet been considered in
conference, but the points of disagree
ment between the two Houses can be
easily reconciled and the final passage
of the bill by Monday is expected.
The House this morning agreed to
a resolution providing for adjournment
at noon Saturday. In the Senate,
however, the feeling on the Republi-
can side was in favor Of adjourning
Monday.
The Tax bill was called up in the
Senate this afternoon and the Repub.
licans said that they should endeayo,
to pass the bill before adjournment
1t is expected, however, that quorum
will be present in the Senate Monday
and it is doubtful if the Republicans
will give further opposition to the
Democratic policy Of tallying the bill
to death.
