T ersian Way OF Building Railroads

Persia is building a railroad from
Teheran to the Caspian sea. Instead of
beginning the railroad at the sea and
building inland, bringing forward the
rails and other materials on the road as
it progresses, the Persians have had all
the rails carried on mules across the
desert to Teheran and have begun the
building there. The transportation
expenses are the biggest item almost in
the cost of the road.

 Suburbs of Ottawa in Danger.
 OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 6.-Bush fires are de- vastating the country in every direction and the loss will be great. Stewarton bush, adjoining this city, is now on fire, and hundreds of citizens have gone out to prevent the flames crossing the city limits. A volunteer brigade has been formed to assist in fighting the flames.

Twelve Hundred Prisoners Locked Il
 Their Cells,

AUBURN, Aug. 6,--The Yates bill, having become law, has necesstated the look ing in their cells of the 1,2OO convicts in Auburn, prison. Warden Durston is having an inventory made of all ma terial and merchandise on hand be- longing to the State accounts system. It will be some days before opera tons can be commenced under the new sys- tem. The Warden thinks that not over two hundred convicts can be kept at work in
 each of the three State prisons under the new law; that an appropriation of $50, 900 would have been more than sufficient for the purchase of material for manufactur- ing purposes under it's provisions for an entire year, and that over eight hundred
 convicts will be kept III idleness in Auburn prison until some further legislation IS had.

The Coming Council With the utes.

IGNACIo, Col, Aug. 6.-The Southern Utes are all off from the agency with their stock, and considerable time must elapse before they can be brought in for prelimi- nary council. The work of the Comms- sloners Is made much harder from the fact that the government has failed to pay the utes portion of their annuities, and tn @ settlers in the country and towns sur rounding the reservation have given them the impression that they are to be forced to leave their reservation whether they wish it or not. The Indians are fully aware of their rights under the existing treaty, and will make no change unless they can clearly see that their condition is to be bettsred by it.

Let those who arc rejoicing thus carly in the season take heed. An old proverb says that he who laughs last laughs b-st. What has occurred in one month is likely to be reversed i'll another.
 The study of the Monthly League tables will be found interesting now, but com parison of the work of this season with that of the past is more so. A year ago the League began the struggle on April 2S :; this season it sent the ball on its course eight days earlier. Last season the month of April closed with the Detroits and Bos- tons leading without defeat and the New Works third with two victories and one defeat.
 There was no change in the standing of these three teams at the conclusion of May. Chicago was then fifth. In June this team was holding first place with fifteen vic torres and five defeats, with the New Works second, with II games won and Q lost. Boston fell to fourth place and De- troit took third.
 The revolution in the following month was as great as the one of this season, ex- cept that the Chcagos held the lead. Philadelphia came as suddenly into promi- hence as the New Works have since the close of June. From fourth place in June they sprang with onS1eap into second place in July, New York going down to fourth and Boston to sixth, while Detroit re- maineu undlsturbed.
 This state of uncertainty continued, as hl Angustu the "Quakersn were occupy Ing the position made vacant in the Chica- gos, who found it necessary to change places with their Washington rivals, who in July were fifth. Detrots moved up a step and the Giants followed suit, but the Bostons held their own.
 In September Detroit and Philadelphia exchange places, New York gave way to Anson's men and Pittsburg moved out of fourth place to accommodate the Giants and the 'Hbean eatersn followed the latter
 In October the championship was virtu- ally settled and the Detroits did not exert themselves. As a result, they fell to sey- enth place. Philadelphia made spurt In this month, and beat the Chicagos in the race for second place in the final struggle. Pittsburg that month took second place

The gig was steadlea on the beach while the doctors got out. Then the sail ors lifted the stretcher out, usiug the ut most care.
 The procession moved slowly up towards thh cottage, Drs. O'Reilley and Narrow walking on either side, Col. Michael Sheridan behind, Dr. Narrow holding an umbrella over the generals face, and Commander McGowan bringing up the rear. As the party neared the cottage the general lifted his right hand without apparent effort and norvously removed the baudage from around his head. Ills hands, resting on hls breast, were palm fully emacated and tho bones stood out through tho flesh.
 When the cottage was reached Mrs. Sher- ldan and the Sisters of Charity appeared Tn the doorway and the General waived his hand towards them in greeting. The stretcher was carried carefully up the steps of the piazza and through the door way and the next instant was shut oil from public view.
 From that time the only knowledge of the Generals condition has been received through bulletins issued by the doctors in attendance. A week ago these bulletins were of such favorable nature that the doctors decided not to issue any more un- less there was change for tho worse, which came last night.
