IMPORTANT EXPLORATIONS BY A
GOVERNMENT ENGINEERING
OUTFIT.
ASTORIA, Sept. 30.--On the Alli-
ance, which arrived from Gray's
Harbor to-day, was the advance
guard of Lieutenant O'Neill's ex-
plor ng party, which is now return
ing from the wilds of the Quinault
reservation. Privates Price, Heff
ner, Higgins and Burns comprised
the party, and they have with them
nine pack mules. They left Van.
couver June 22d with Lieutenant
ONeill, and have spent the summer
in making a thorough examination
of the resources of this tract. The
party on the Alliance left Lieuten.
ant O'Neill at the headwaters of the
Quinault river several days ago, but
he is expected to arrive at Hoquiam
Friday, and on his arrival there he
will be rendered public reception
and banquet. The men on the Alli-
ance state that the agricultural land
in the explored region is not plcnti-
ful, but there is an almost unlimited
amount of the finest timber in the
world. Indications of coal and
other minerals were also found and
the streams swarm with fish. The
party encountered some pretty rough
trails, as tLey were the first white
men who ever entered the region.
A few weeks ago one of the pack
mules, while walkingalong the edge
of cliff, lost Its footing and dashed
down the cliff, over 500 feet, and
landed in a ravine SO inaccessible
ta9t ii was impossible to recover
any of the contents of the pack.
Two of the mules gave out and were
left to their fate, and the nine that
reached Gray's Harbor look rather
the worse for wear. Lieutenant
O'Neil's report of his trip will be
looked for with interest, and will,
no doubt, throw much light on what
has long been an uneXplored region.

DUBUQUE. To-, Feb. Charley Co.
mlskey, the captain of the Chicago

time at his home in this city. The Her
aid correspondent had a few minutes
chat with him to-day, and inquired if he
intended to remain in Dubuque until
the season opened. ''Oh, no." he re-
piled, Il leave about the middle of
February with the team for a trip
either to Hot Springs, Ark. or st. Au-
gdstine, Fla. The New York team will
probably go with US, and we will play
practice games together. We have three
of the best pitchers in the business

Baldwin. We will not sign any more

spare. Do we expect to win the pen

Lotus, who was standing by, winked
significantly, but, without noticing the
taunt, said: "Have YOU heard of the
big project for next winter? The man
ager of the Texas d Pacific railroad is
now making arrangements to tour the
Chicago Players team and the Cincin-

One of the most important events OF
the Western association season will
occur at Omaha next Saturday-the
schedule meeting. The notice was
issued yesterday by Secretary Roche.
Messrs. Thompson, of st. Paul, Null
cahy, of Sioux City, and Rowe, of Den
yer, constitute the committee, but rep
resentatives of all the clubs will gather
at Omaha to look after the various in
terests. 1t is understood the three gem
tlemen of the committee have each a
schedule, and at least couple of others
will be presented by outsiders for con-
sideration. Mr.. Thompson, for st. Paul,
will not insist on having the ''lOng
end of it," but he will ask that
st. Paul be given much fairer
show than year ago, when all the holl-
days were awarded to other cities, and
the Saints were obliged to play at home
during both the trotting and running
meetings, and close the season with
twenty-Une games in September. Of
course, this sort of rank injustice will
not be tolerated. a game in May is
worth three times as much as one in
September, and it is an incalculable adj
vantage for club to begin season at
home. These things will not be lost
sight of by Mr.. Thompson. His scheme,
which seems to possess no elements of
nnfairness, is to have the Northern
clubs play short series with one an
other at the start, the Southern clubs at
the same time PLAYING together, and fol-
low with the circuit North against South,
etc, apportioning the holidays as nearly
equally as possible, and dividin g up the
Improbable September series.

Gently which may give the children of

the magnitude of the transactions
which took place when oil was IS and 50

story as told by Mr.. Robson was as fol-

''Within month after Col. Drake had
struck the first petroleum ever brought
to the surface in America by means of
drilling, my father and the father of my
relatives here bought tract of land,
comprising 1880 acres, adjoining the

A NOVEL SCHEME.
Street Indicators, Illuminated by
Ninhf for Evapv Threa RInokS

Street Indicators, Illuminated by
Night, for Every Three Blocks.
A trio of Bostonians. now staying at
the Ryan hotel in this city, have some
what novel scheme to spring on a con-
fiding public. The principal mover in
it is Francis G. Burrelle-not Bos-
tonian by the way, but Frenchman-
and to this gentlemen is due the credit
of introducing the idea, which is becom-
ing quite recognized institution of the
Hub. The intention is for the forma-
ton of limited company, to be known
as the st. Paul q Minneapolis Street
Indicator company, provided the reQui-
site permission for the carrying on of
the business can be obtained from the
city authorities. The business of an in
dictator company, as described by the
projectors, is the establishment atinter-
walls of four-faced glass cOlOred lndlcat-
ors, supported by bronze columns. In
each of the four faces is short deScrlp-
ton of certain section, say three
blocks of the street. Then another in
all over the city. The charts show the
numbers of the stores, the names of the
occupants, and the character of the bus
mess carried on. Each of the charts
will lead of with list of the city Off
GERS; then will come physicians, drug
giStS, dentists, and accOuchers; then
will come the postoffice, police stations.
fire stations, cab stands and hospitals;
following these will come the charts of
the streets as described above. At
night all the indicators will be illumi-
mated after the manner of street lamps,
so that much valuable information may
be gained from the placing of one of
these every three blocks about the
city. NJ. Burrelle says that the idea
is not an original one with him.
The Indicator system is general in
Paris, the first one having been placed
on the Boulevard Magenta, in the vicin-
ity of the Northern railway terminus,
and since that time the system has
spread in the hands of several COM
panies all over the metropolis and
suburbs. The gentlemen proposing to
establish the system here simply ask
permission to use the streets for the
erection of the bronze pillars to sup
port their indicators. The income of
the company is to be derived solely
from the advertising to be displayed on
success in Boston, and will doubtless be
a paving venture in the Twin Cities.
The gentlemen associated with Mr..
Burrelle in his effort to introduce his
novel scheme here are MessrS. Sidney
Stevens and James Collom, the latter
having been connected with the man.
