Red Cloud on the War Path.

Washington special to the Omaha Herald:
DR.. 7. A. Bland says tonight: ''Since the
arrival of Chief Red Cloud in Washington we
have received letters from quite number of
white men of prominence residing in Sioux
and Cherry counties, Nebraska, and other 10
calities in the vicinity of Pine Ridge reserva-
ton urging us to do all we can to aid Red
Cloud in his efforts to secure the removal of
Agent McGill;cuddy and the appointment of
an agent that will be satisfactory to the In
dams. These meu say that SHOULD Red Cloud
fail in his mission an outbreak may be expect
ed, as old Red Cloud could not longer hold his
warriors from removing the agent by violence,
which would precipitate conflict that would
probably be disastrous to that whole country.
They think that if the chief should, on reach
ing Valentine. Nebraska, on his return, re-
port that the secretary would not remove Nc
Gillicuddy, it would create panic among the
settlers of northwestern Nebraska and a gen
eral stampede from that country.

Rhine Timber Rats.

The timber RATS of the Rhine are
q noticeable characteristic of that
river. They consist of timber felled
in the mountain forests and brought
down to the Rhine by the Neckar,
Main, Meselle and other rivers. The
singled logs are first hurled down from
the heights into the mountain torrent,
then few are tied together, and as
they float down the streamlet grow
like SNOWFALL. till in the Rhine itself
they are made into huge floating
fabrics, which are carefully navi-
gated to Dorhech and sold. A raft
has often eight or ten small houses On
it and from 400 to 500 workmen, row.
ers and pilots. The vast pile is steer
ed by means of immense oars, and is
so constructed as to twist like a huge
snake in the narrow channels The
sale of single raft at the end of a
voyage often realizes about, $3.50, 900.

A Remarkable River.

Endeavors were recently made to
explore the remarkable River Reka.
which rises in the Austrian Province
of Carniola and disappears in series
of caves known us the Karst Caverns.
At spot some twenty miles distant
stream called the Timavo pours out of
q hillside, and there is reason to be-
lieve that this is identical with the
Reka, which thus flows twenty miles
underground. The party engaged i'll
the recent explorations followed the
subterranean course of the Reka about
pne furlong, and passed six waterfalls,
until they reached seventh fall.
which 1t was impossible to get over
without the construction of special APP
paratus, as the river has no bank at
that point. The explorers employed
the magnesium light to illuminate the
dark course of the stream. One of
the caverns through which it runs is
large enough and lofty enough to hold

TelephOnic Profits.

One of the reasons advanced for the
failure TO reduce telephone tolls IS the
lmposibility of making bare living.
In connection with this the following
from the Utica Herald is full OF in
terest: 1.-THE American Bell tele-
phone company reports that for ten
months to January last its earnings
were $1,000, 554 against 81, 295, 549 for
the preceding year. For the same
period its expenses were $6oI,3Io
against $3.50. 1853. The company de-
clared dividends for ten months in
1884 of S1,440,315 against Sl.O5l, 479
for the preceding year. In the former
year the dividends came very near to
80 per cent of the total earnings; in the
last ten months OF 1884 the dividends
were nearly three-fourths of the earn
ings. For the capital actually paid in
the dividends are monstrous. The
users of the telephones can reckon
