RAILWAY NOTES.
The NOrther,. Pacific.

The Chicago Tribune of Saturday has
interviewed Mr.. Geo. K. Barnes, General
Passenger and Ticket Agent, who is now in
Chicago, and obtained the following from
him in regard to the Northern Pacific:
Mr.. G. K. Barnes, General Passenger
Agent of the Northern Pacific railway,
who was in the city yesterday, states that
a new time schedule will go into effect on
his road April %, when the Pacific express
will leave st. Paul at $50 a. M, and entire
trains will run through to Bozeman, Mon
tana, without change, Pullman sleepers and
dining cars attached. Another through
train will be put on leaving st. Paal
at $50 D. II. running thrOcS Il
to Mandan, with sleeper to
Fargo, and Horton chair car from Fargo
to Bismarck. Dining cars and Horton
chair cars are new feature on the North
ern Pacific, and will no doubt help to make
this line more popular with the travelling
public. Meals on the dining cars are but
seventy five cents.
The Fargo & Southwestern branch and
the jamestown & Northern branch of the
Northern Pacific will commence running
on schedule time April 1; the former to
Lisbon and the latter to Darlington. From
the last-named point a daily line of stages
will run to DEVILS lake and the Mouse
river country.
The National Park branch is being con-
structed as rapidly as possible, some 4OO
men being now at work grading and track
laying. This line will be completed July
1, which will be in time to take tourists to
the Yellowstone National park. The
National Park Improvement company will
put on a line of stages to connect at end
of track, making complete tourist line
into the park.
Work on the Western extension of the
Northern Pacific is progressing rapidly
The grading is all done from Bozemaa to
Helena, and track is being laid at the rate
of one and one-hslf miles per'day. On the
West division track is being laid at the
rate of one mile per day, and will reacl
Missoula May 1, at which time gap o.
only 160 miles will remain to complete tbs
Northern Pacific through to the Pacific
coast. 1t is expected to have the entire
road completed in August, and open i
for through business in September. The
equipment of the Northern Pacific is being
largely augmented, and large number o.
first and second class coaches and emf
grant sleepers are now in the course o.
construction, and deliveries will begin IL
| April.

THE PRESIDENT IND HIS CABINBT
The death of the Postmaster General
requires that the President place a new
man IN his cabinet, and since the vacancy
occurred there has been mach thought and
some discussion regarding the probabilities
and prophecies of an entire recast of the
cabinet.
Under our system, no one questions the
right of the President to select his own
confidential and constitutional advisers,
but Arthur's makeup of MS cabinet was
a great disappointment TO the major
ity of the members of his party.
That majority were opposed to the third
term idea, of which Arthur was a repre-
sentative, and they were disappointed, if
not angered, by seeing the cabinet made
up from Arthur's own faction. This dis
content was greatly augmented by the
boastfulness of the stalwarts, who pro-
claimed what they believed, that by the
grace of assassination Grant restoration
had transpired.
In his removals from and appointments
to Office, from the first up to this time, the
President has made his selections from the
stalwart minority, and in quite a number
of notable instances has manifested
his contempt for the friends of the
President who was shot to death by a dis
appointed stalwart ofice-seeker.
At the first general election after Arthur
entered the White house, Republican state
after state deliberately wheeled out of line
and the Democrats gained what the other
party lost. Thus the Forty eighth con-
gress is provided with a Democratic ma
jority of seventy two, there being 191
Democrats, 119 Republicans, Mahonites,
Independents and 2 Greenbackers, this
being the political classification of the
three hundred and twenty five members of
of the country at the time the election was
held gave Ohio and Indiana to
the Democrats, elected Pattison,
the Democratic candidate, governor
of Pennsylvania, gave the governorship of
Massachusetts, to Ben Butler, and in New
York defeated Folger, member of Ar
thurs cabinet, by the astonishing majority
OF $4,000. In the thirty eight states
where governors are elected by the
people, twenty-six states have Democratic
governors and twelve Republican govern
ors, being the smallest number
the latter party has had dur
ing the twenty three years it
has held national power. The Republi-
cans do not control the senate, but only tie
the Democrats, with Malone and Riddle
berger holding the balance of power,
which they will use as they are lured by
plumber or actuated by resentment.
This summing up exhibits the influence
Arthur has exercised as g destructionist,
and the grave error he committed in &C.

THE talk of the appointment of Mr..
Dunnell to succeed the late Postmaster
General Howe is not as visionary as some
seem to regard it. The objection urged
against many applicants for the position,
that they have been repudiated by their
constituents, does not apply in Mr.. Dun
nelrs case. The cause of his retirement
from congress was personal controversy
between him and Mr.. Window which did
not terminate with the nominating con-
vention, but resulted in the ignominious
rout of Window and the victory of Mr..
Dunnell. Instead of being repudiated,
Their efore, Mr.. Dunnell has been emphsti-
c2lly endorsed by his constituents and the
people of the entire state, and his friends
can press his claims from this good
vantage ground.

IT is quite customary, when a man is
chosen to Office, of high OF low degree, to
congratulate him on his good fortune. It
is of very rare occurrence that a defeated
candidate is surrounded by his friends and
congratulated on an event that is usually
attended with modification. We have
known of an instance where a defeated
candidate felt the sting of disappointment
and chagrin so deeply that he at once left
the town which was the theater of his dis
comfture without speaking to anybody.
The Hon. S. Z. Bowman has been in the
habit of representing the Fifth Massachu-
sets district in congress. Last fall he
was defeated. On his return to his home
at Somerville last week, he was net by the
mayor and three or four of the citizens; g
salute of fifty guns was fired by the 999tt
battery, aid speeches were made, congrat
ulating the defeated man on his retirement
from congress. Judging from the report:
of the speeches, not much that was consol
atory to the defunct was said, and still
there were occasional symptoms of ap
pIause. If receptions and congratulation;
are to be extended in cases of defeat, it il
most seemly that they should be bestowed
upon the man whom the people won't have
as their representative in congress. L
there is anything a man should be con
graduated on it is that he is not con
gresham.

THE President told friend that he had
tried putting Garfield Republicans into
Office, but they all deceive him, and do not
try TO make his administration a success.
In his appointments, he said, he should
only choose his own friends. This shuts
the door on Mr.. Window, who hoped to
round out his political life by another
cabinet appointment. 1t is very sad that
the President cannot trust this gentleman,
as there can be no doubt that if he had
time after serving the interests of Mr..
Window, and his Wall street operations
would permit, he would do no harm to the
administration.

The vithdra.Ual of the Alton Read.

ST. LOUIS, April RAILROAD officials
here attribute the withdrawal of the Chi
cago & Alton road from the pool between
Chicago, ST. Louis and Kansas City to q
desire to influence a meeting which con-
venes at Chicago on Tuesday and force a
concession from other lines which will give
it larger percentage of business than it
now gets. They say there is no pool on
passenger business anywhere in the
country, aside from the common
agreement to observe certain rates
between specified points, and all acquies-
csnce in rates between the West and East,a
established by Commissioner Fink. There
fore the withdrawal of the Chicago d Al
ton must be from the freight pool. AS to
the issuance of passes to shippers, the Wa
bash says it has not violated the agreement
since two years ago, and it is believed the
other roads concerned have pursued very
conservative action In that respect. 1t is
therefore thought the allegations
of the Chicago & Alton in this regard are
not well founded. The whole matter is
expected to be discussed at Chicago OF
| Monday.

Who Ire the Gnnsiese


Charles g. Leland, who, as is we'll known
has made special studies Of the Gypsies
and their language, contributes an illus
trated paper to the April Century on ''Vis-
iting the Gypsies," from which we quote
the following:
In conclusion, I may briefly answer a
question which many people have put
"Who and what are the Gypsiss?" To
this, reply that they are of q mixed
Aryan and non-Arysn stock from North
ern India, where they have been known
since prehistoric times. In their own
language they call themselves Rom,
meaning husband; but the word may also
have some affinity with ramna, meaning
to roam or wander. I believe that I have
been the first to prove that there is at the
present day in India, among the $50 kinds
Of wandering castles of that country,
which are all Gypsies, one in particular
which is there regarded as specially
Gypsy, and which calls itself Rom,
and which uses words not collected in
any other Indian dialect, but which
are used by the Gypsies of Syria,
Turkey, and Europe. This tribe is allied
to, and is, most probably, only a more
widely wandering branch of the Dom, who
ara also known as outcasts and Gypsies.
When speak of so many kinds of wan
d7rers as Gypsies, and yet not identical
with our own, may make my meaning
clearer by saying that as all the tramps,
peddlers, ETC.. who roam in our roads, are
still not Romany, SO of all the Indian nom
ads, there Is but one which in every par
ticular, especially that of language, exact
ly corresponds to those whom I have de-
scribed

American Newspaper Increase.

IA writer In the Brooklyn Eagle on
American journalism to-day and seventy
years ago 7 IF we take for illus
tration the year 1910, we shall find
that in the whole Union there were
then but 238 newspapers and twenty-five
other periodical publications, making
262 In all. OF these the district of
Maine produced eight, Massachusetts,
proper, twenty-four; New Hampshire,
eleven; Vermont, thirteen; Connecticut,
eleven Rhode Island, seven; New York,
forty-eight; New Jersey, six; Pennsyl-
vania, twenty-five; Virginia, eighteen;
District of Columbia, four; Maryland,
eleven; Delaware, three; North Carolina,
twelve; South Carolina, seven; Georgia,
six; Kentucky, seven, Ohio, seven;
Tennessee, FIVE; Louisiana, four; Missis7
sippi territory, one. Now, to illustrate
by q single chance example how news
paper literature has extended in these
older States, It is enough to say that there
are now In the district of Maine fifty
seven papers, Of which twelve are daily,
two tri-weekly, two semi-Weekly, one
monthly. and the rest weekly In 1910
as we have seen, there were but eight IN
all. In New York city alone, If we add
the magazines, there are actually more
periodical publications than there were

aSalm0n Canning.

Astoria, at the mouth of the Column
bIa river, Oregon, was founded BY John
Jacob Astor as a fur trading post In 1911,
and his enterprise, at that day and for
many years afterWard unique, was cele-
brated in a volume written by Washing
ton Irving. The location has become
the great salmon canning depot of the
Pacific coast. The bus.less was begun
in 1867, end in the first year 1000 one
pound can cases, containing forty-eight
cans each, were put up. Now, accord
ing to a correspondent of the New York
Times, there was sent East last season
2S2, 900 cases of salmon, which is ex-
pected to be increased next year to
300, 600 cases, making II, 200 tons, or
1000 car loads to be sent over the newly
opened Northern Pacific railroad. Dur
ing the last season 1913, 600 tons of sal
mon were packed at Astoria, the larger
portion of which went to San Francisco,
from thence to be sent to all quarters Of
the globe, about two-thirds of the total
catch going to Europe.
There are thirty-seyen canneries in
Astoria, employing about 1000 men to
man @iUUu hUutS, dnu do uldHy ulOfC W
dress and can the fish. Chinese are the
Gamers, and Italians, Greeks and Scan
dinavians the fishermen. The average
weight of the live salmon is thirty-two
pounds each, although fish weighing as
high as eighty pounds have been caught.
The dressed fish weighs just about one
half less than it does when caught.
The handling" of the fish is an art.
The g Sitter has a row of fish ranged
on a table with the tails toward him.
He walks along the table, and with q
rapid movement cutting off tails and fins
as he moves. Then the fish are reversed,
and with equal celebrity he chops off each
head with a single motion. Then he
Sits the fish open and remove the
e~ntrails. The dressed fish are cut into
slices by revolving knives, and by q
COMPRISING machine are packed into
cans. A can of salmon is cooked in
superheated steam long enough to cause
the complete disappearance of the bones,
otherwise the contents would spoil.

Ragasse Paper.

In Mexico, Guatemala, and in certain
islands of the Antilles, bagasse is used as
a fuel, says the New Orleans ISmes-DenO-
crot. Tt is true that it forms but a poor
substitute for coal, but in those countries
where fuel of all kinds, particularly coal,
is expensive, each scrap Of bagasse is
carefully preserved. In this country fuel
of a lkinds is cheap. Thus in Louisiana
bagasse is seldom or never used as fuel.
It has been not only utterly worthless to
the planter, until a recent period, but
was in his way, as the unsightly heaps OF
the material on the sugar plantations
bear testimony. In fact, during the
palmy days of sugar producing in this
State, what to do with the bagasse was a
problem that seriously annoyed many OF
the planters. But recent experiments have
proven that the hitherto useless bagasse
contains a fiber that may be utilized for
paper-making. A ton of bagasse will
Weld about $50 pounds of fiber, while
every ton of the latter can be converted
into !, 800 pounds of pulp. A twenty
fve-horse power engine will clean thirty
tons of bagasse daily, while the latter Will
furnish at least ten tons of fiber or seven
and half tons of pulp. Il has been esti-
mated that each planter who makes 400
h~ogsheads of sugar might realize no small
portion of his yearly expenses by working
his bagasse and extracting its fiber. A
company was formed in this city about q
year ago to make paper out of cane fiber.
Their numerous experiments have salts
factorily ascertained that paper Of an ex-
cellent quality can be made from that
substance and that the material is so IN
expensive that it can be proftably worked.
Certain planters have offered the COM
pany all the bagasse on their places for
from five to ten years gratis. They hope
to see this new industry started in our
State, SO they will be able to sell their
bagasse to the factories. Others propose
to extract the fiber themselves, for, If
once paper factories are established, it
will become a marketable product.
