c. r. Huntington has strengthened his grip
on the railway system Of California, accord.
ing to the latest accounts, and has succeeded
in carrying through plan by which he has
arranged for a consolidation Of nearly all the
roads north of the Sacramento river. To dc
this he has inflated the stock Of the Southern
Pacific Railroad company to the astounding
sum Of $50 000, 000 Until recently the total
capital stock Of the Southern Pacific com
pany, was 800, 100000, of which $685..

Gladstone to Pronounce One In the Com

LONDON, March 29-Giadstone returned
last night from Scotland, where he has buried
his brother, to pronounce a eulogy over the
remains Of a man who, until recent years,
had been his close friend and associate for
half life time. 1t is expected that his eu-
logy on John Bright in the house Of com,
mons will be one Of the most masterful ef-
forts of his life. Not seat will be empty on
the floor of the house, and the applications
for admission to the galleries is so great that
scarcely one-teuth of those deslrous Of at
tending can be accommodated.
In the house of peers last evening Lord
Salisbury pronounced a eulogy upon John

memory of the dead man, who, be said, was
the greatest master Of English oratory of the
present generation. He possessed" said the
speaker, "a singular rectitude OF character

ISM
All the evening papers are filed with bio
graphical sketches and anecdotes of the great
Englishman just dead. On this occasion, at
least, the ancient injunction to speak no Ill
of the dead" is faithfully carried out.
The Times, in leading article referring to
the universal tributes to John Bright's mem
DRY, makes this the occasion Of a severe ar.
raignment of Gladstone, whose character
and career it disparagingly compares with
that OF the deceased statesman.

speed for the trial run at twenty-three knots

The boat is 1877 feet in length, has q beam

Central Iowa will adopt a new schedule Mon

The "masheen" is muddled. 1t is rat

to publish in the ''masheen" organ a
proclamation that everything pertaining
to his having made certain promises was
false aud without foundation. He did
so. The proclamation appeared in the
Eighteenth street organ this morning, but
it did not have the desired effect. Hence
the "mssheen" is still muddled and mad {.
The assertion that McConochie's nomi.

tain pledges, was not made without
