UNCLE SAMS DOMAIN
Wonderful in Size snd Many Other
Respectg,


Following are extracts from Andrew
Carncgie's new book, entitled "rri
umphant Democracy, or Fifty Years
March of the Republics"
"a ship sailing from any part Of the
world may discharge its cargo at Chi
cago, in the northwest, 1 900 miles in
land. The Mississippi and It's tribu
taries traverse the great Western basin,
1,250,000 square miles in extent, and
furnish an internal navigablc system of
more than 10000 miles. A steamer
starting from Pittsburg, Pa, 450 miles
inland from New York and 1000 from
the mouth Of the Mississippi, passing
through these water highways, and re
turning to its starting place at that
smoky metropolis of iron and steel, will
sail distance much greater than
round the world. Nor will II in all its
course be stopped by any Government
official or be taxed by any tariff"
I'm military and naval power the Re
public is at once the weakest and
strongest of nations. Her regular
army consists Of but %, 900 men scat.
tered all over the continent In com.
VI Va navy
is as nothing. But twenty years ago.
as at the blast of a trumpet, she called
into action 1000, 900 of armed men and
iloated G26 war ships Even the
vaunted legions of Xerxes and the
hordes of Timour were exceeded in
numbers by the army of citizen SOL
dicrs who took up arms in 1861 to de.
fend the unity of the Nation. and, when
the task was done, laid them quietly
down, and returned to the vocatiops of
peace. AS Macaulay says of the sol.
diers of the Commonwealth, in few
months there remained not a trace in
dicating that the most formidable army
in the world had just been absorbed
into the mass of the community.
Between 1870 and 1880, in ten years,
territory equal in extent to Great Brit
ain and France combined was added
TO the cultured area in America. Even
yet the progress continues. During
the last year the sale of public lands
to settlers exceeded 16,000,000 acres
an area as great as Belgium and Den
mark combined. In Dakota alone the
new farms of 1888 exceeded 5000, 900
acres-t of all Scotland. In the face
of such facts 1t Is clear that the Ameri-
cans are the great agricultural people
of the world, and that no other race has
spread so diligently and so profltably
over so great an area.

The New Police station.

The Commissioners and Building Inspec-
tor Entwisle made an inspection of the new
station-house on New Jersey avenue near Z
street yesterday afternoon and accepted 1t.
The station will be used by the Seventh
Precinct officers, under Lieutenant Kelly.
1t is the largest station in the city, having
more cells and larger apartments than
judges as equal to any other police sta
tion in the country, and reflects credit on
the District authorities and contractor, Mr..
9. Thomas. Lieutenant Kelly will move
into his new quarters in few days.

The Military visitors.

Colonel W. G. Moore of the Washington
Light Infantry Battalion has received a
letter from Colonel Emmons Clark of
the Seventh New York Regiment, stating
that the organization had decided that the
regiment should leave New York for this
city on the 10Th of April, which will be the
t%eEty-flfth anniversary of the day they left
New York in 1861, to enter the three
months service of the United States.

Departure OF the salvationists.

The officers Of the Salvation Army, who
have been attending the anniversary here,
have returned to their posts of duty In other
cities. Commissioner Frank Smith, with
his staff, has gone to Chicago to hold an an
niversary similar to the one held here. In
future the meetings OF the Salvation Army
at their barracks, on Fourth street, will be
free, the Commissioner concluding that the
habit Of charging ten cents admission was
calculated to keep out the very people they
wanted to reach, SO 1t has been abolished,
and in future the army will raise revenue
by collections. The army is much pleased
by its reception in Washington, and say
that the people here are less hostile to them
than In most any other city.

THE following from the Silver Belt is the latest news in regard to the building of the railroad from Flagstaff to Globe: A letter from Col. E. W. Eddy, dated Chicago, July 18th, to A. H. Hackney, states that his departure for Flagstaff has been delayed on account ot the con sideration of important contracts re- lating to the construction of the Ari- zona Mineral Belt Railroad. The contracts had about all been closed and it is expected that everything will be in readiness very soon, for the commencement of construction work. The further encouraging news is com municated that parties having Tn charge the finances of the project re- port negotiations about closed for the sale of another million dollars worth of bonds, sufficient to build the road to lower Tonto.

MINERAL BELT RAILROAD.
Coy. Tritle and Frank M. Murnh

Gov. Trltle and Frank M. Murphy, of Prescott, who have been visiting St. Louis on business of importance to the interests of the territory, passed through here last Tuesday night on thelr way home. They say they met Col. J. W. Eddy, who assured them that he had the money for the pur- pose and that the Mineral Belt Rail- road would certainly be built, and that at once.
 They enquired for the Colonel and were rather surprised that he had not already arrived here.

Such men should be arrested as outlaws wherever found and made to account Ior their every action,
