rapidly extending iron arms towards Pa.

Then casting your eyes over great val.

culatlon the immense agricultural and
commercial of Nebraska, the
lncalculable mineral wealth of ~dependen-
cles in Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho,
Nevada, and almost boundless gold and
silver regions extending vest to Pacific,
and far north to British possessions, you
found Omaha on the highway of nations,
you understood the advantages of loca-
ton, you grasped idea of its unlimited
commercial Importance, you declared
omaha must be a great city; from that
hour you have been its untirins advocate,
and now you are in our midst enlarging
our city by building one hundred cot

New York, 4.-The FoSt, referring to
the bill for the consolidation ofrsilroads
eastward from southern California into
one line, and ore corporation, Masking
complete line from San Francisco to
Port Allen, on the Mississippi, opposite
Baton Rouge, and practically also to
New Orleans, says the passage
OF the bill is presumed to be for the pur-
pose Of retaining all the rights granted by
governments, the state and national, to
the several corporations. but practically
the consolidation would otherwise be
completed by leases, etc. It has been
reported that this consolidation would
also include the Chesapeake and Ohio,
and other lines to make complete line
from San Francisco to Newport, under
one management, but we hsvs authority
fo- the denial of this latter part Of the re-
port. Probably the consolidation will
only include the line as fAr east SIS the
Mississippi River. The new line mas con.
nection to Galveston, and thus make:
the shortest railroad connections OF
United States territory between the two
oceans.

Trevor w. Parks Last Hours

New York, 4.-The Sun has the fol-
lowing details of Trevor W. Parks last
hours, ;;given by Capt. Power, of the
steamer San Bias. He had often made
the trip to the isthmus, and it seemed to
improve his health. His doctor feared
he was going to be attacked by paralysis
and ordered the voyage as possible pre-
ventive. He ate a hearty dinner the
evening ofour departure, and sat smok-
ing and conversing with me till 10 p. N. +,
when he retired, He experienced mo-
ticeable difficulty in articulatiDg, which
the doctor said was .ympton OF inn
pending paralysis. Next day he COM
planned Of not feeling we'll, and his doc
tor and ship surgeon, WilIismsen, said
he was failing. He grew steadily worse,
and died at two o'clock on the mornin &
of the 18th, Of paralysis of the brain.

All boys and girls who have read re-

the name of Victor Emmanuel, who unit
cd tho various States Of Italy into ono

they naturally regarded Victor E.nman.

on tho throne, and he in time will be

Italy to the title OF Prince OF Wales In
England. r'.'s sti '' f '

Solar Theories.

A very interesting discussion upon
solar theories was hold ut the second
days session of the National Academy
of Sciences, at New Haven. 1t was
based upon the reports Of Prof. Holden
and DIR. Hastings upon the solar eclipse
of May 6 of the current year. The OBJ
servations were taken ut Caroline ISL
and, and the conditions were favorable.
Prof. Holden stated the facts upon
which he rested his conviction that the
planet Vulcan. the existence of which
was Leverrier's deduction from solar
and mcrcurial pcrturbations. Is n myth.
But the chief interest Of the session was
created by the paper of DR. Hastings. in
which he gave tho grounds for his be-
lief that the accepted theories regard
ing the suns atmosphere will have to
be abandoned, and that in fact the
whole question OF tho solar elements.

opened. -1.f ~ -r'r as
