That There Has Been No
Time to Consider
the Matter.


CHICAGO, August 1S.-TSpecial Telegram
10 The BEE. Tho Pennsylvania company
has made a radical departure from its old.
time conservatism by adopting harvest ex-
cursion rates on all its lines.
A decided howl went up from the central
traffic and trunk roads when the Pennsyl-
vania established the low rates on its Pam
Handle line, but as the Panhandle is not
in either ASSOCIATION it could not be pun
ished. Now that the low rates are in effect
on all the Pennsylvania lines it means rate
war.
For nine months there has not been the
slightest break IN the Chicago east-bound
passenger rates, but the Pennsylvania's de-
parture is liable to create unnumberei dis
turbances. 1t amounts to a cut of 80 per
cent in all passenger tariffs for at least three
Gays, with a chance for all eastern aud Chi
cago scalpers to reap n rich harvest
Tho notice of the Pennsylvania was given
so late in the day that the other roads have
as yet taken no action.

A PERiLOUS VOYAGE.
Across the North Sea in Fiftccn-Foot
Boat.

Considerable excitement was caused
along the Thames yesterday by the ar
rival at Millwall of Captain AlSen.
native of Denmark. who has succeeded
in crossing the North Sea in small
boat, says the Pail Mall Gazette. The
little craft is named the Skaw, and is
only fifteen feet from stem to stern,
with four feet breadth of beam. 1t is
covered in with heavy decking to pre-
vent swamping in heavy seas, and it
carries one small sail. Captain Alseu
commenced his adventurous voyage
from Copenhagen n fortnight ago. in
well for Il time, but being somewhat out
of his course by. contrary winds he de-
cided to attempt the journey to
London, although such a voyage
in SO small craft was attended
by considerable danger, particularly
as the captain had no one to assist him
in the management of the boat. He
made fair progress, however, until he
was for some days again disturbed by
unfavorable weather, and was driven
very much out of his course. Captain
Alsen also began to run short of pro-
visions, aud suffered from fatigue, hay
ing to keep Il sharp lookout at night,
aud getting only occasional snatches of
sleep during the day. He fell in with
the steamship Sumicrs, bound for Rot
terdam, the crew of which endeavored
to dissuade him from his hazardous en-
terprisc, and invited him TO come on
board. The adventurous Dane, how
ever, expressed his determination to
continue the journey. and having OBJ
tanned a supply of provisions, proceeded
to London, safely reaching Millwall, as
stated, yesterday. Captain Alscn had
an enthusiastic reception from the sea-
men in the docks, the crews of several
Scandinavian vessels in the river
cheering him vigorously. 1t is stated
that after few days rest Captain Al.
sen intends to return to Copenhagen in

The Union Pacific R'y, also known as
the Overland Route, has lately added
TO its service number of new cars
(Which by the way are built by the
world famous Pullman company. enti-
tied colonist sleepers, and which for
convenience and comfort are but little
behind the handsome Pullman Palace
Car. The cars are designed for the use
and comfort Of the colonist, who with
his family intend moving west to grow
up with the country.
The only difference between these
cars and the regular tirst-class Pullman
is that the Colonist sleeper is not up
holstered. There are fourteen sections
III each car, and separate toilet rooms
for ladies and gentlemen. At night, by
means of sliding head boards and heavy
damask curtains, as much privacy is Sc
cured as if in the regular tirst-class
sleeper. Plenty of fresh, clean towels
and II good supply of water arc also to
be found. A uniformed porter accom-
panies each car TO look after the COM
fort and attend to the wants of the pas
sengers, and no smoking is allowed. 1t
certainly seems that for cheap and COM
modious sleeping ommodations, while
travelling, these cars cannot be eXcelled.
