traffic agreement between the Union
Pacific and the Chicago and Northwest.

Office today. The agreement is for ten
years, and covers thirty closely printed
pages. There is longer agreement be.

ley, and the Chicago, St. Paul, Mime
apolis and Omaha. The joint line via
Sioux City, Iowa, is to be known as the
Lake SUP srior, st. Paul and Union

The agreement between the Northwest.
ern and Union Pacific c tablishes line
via Council Bluffs to be known as the

to the contract, except in the case of the
Kansas division of the Union Pacific,

The agreement provides for Joint tariffs
and trains, the settlement of disputes,
division of earnings from through trains,
proportions of equipment, rates under
competition, and that no competition

The London music hall furnishes al
once music ard liquor for the masses
There is always a chairman" who an
nounces the title of each song and the
name of each vocalist. The importance
and mpressiveness which he shows in his
manner, and its apparently impressive
effect upon the audiance, gives the
American a strange sensation. He does
not know whether to accept the whole
thing as serious or as farce II is al
ways the same old tune that has been
sung to generations of Londoners, with
variations of words and sentiment TO suit
the times. The farces are long, tedious
and stupid-the fun is,bo5's horse play.
The Bowery ten cent temple of the drama
would not tolerate such bOsh.
The music hril at night is the favorite
lounging place of that fine animal in uni
form, the British soldier OF the horse
guards, in his tightly fitting rcd jacket,
his cap rsked so far on the side OF his
head that you wonder it does not fall of,
HE hair neatly brushed, his legs taultess
az to cut of psntaloon, and in his hanI
always little switch cane. He affords q
refreshing contrast to the prevailing dim
and dingy hue of London's garb. You
will SEE there suits of black on mems
backs that look as if they must momen-
tarily fall to pieces 1t won't do to call
such clothes rusty, tthreadbare or seedy.
Thore is a certain quality of decay visible
about them never seen here. They give
you the impression of being worn, say,
sixty years ago, and then abandoned for
year or SO to the moths, and then hung
NJ four or five years in a second hand
store, and then purchased and worn few
years, and so on, alternating as above
mentioned up to the present time. This
treatment gives them a certain look of
oleaginous rottenness, rich, fruity and
peculiar.

And torches were carried 10y suXiou men
