Pan-American Railway.

PANAMA, August 26.-The scheme
for a pan-American railroad is excit-
ing a good deal of interest in The Brit
ish colonies of Guiana, South Ameri-
ca, and one of the local papers sug-
gests that the colony join the scheme.
This gigantic project of providing
railway communication with the
United States has taken definite
shape and may be regarded as fairly
in motion. The president Of the
United States of Columbia has given
an expression of opinion in his official
capacity strongly in favor of it, and
an appropriation of $4,000 toward
preliminary expenses has been voted.
After quoting from the presidents
letter, the paper says: This railway
is bound to be built sooner or later,
but it is probable that before the
close of this century man may step
on the train at New York Ell route by
rail all the way to Buenos Ayres.

William and the workingmen.

LONDON, August 26.-At a mass
meeting of the Lancashire Miners
Federation, NJ. Wood, the president,
who was in the chair, stated that two
messengers, who came direct from
the Emperor of Germany, had waited
upon him and solicited information
as to the condition Of British miners.
They stated that since the resignation
of Prince Bismarck, the emperor had
become democratic and desired to
place the labor laws of Germany on
an equality with those of England.
The meeting unanimously recon-
mended that the question of an eight
hour day be submitted to a vote of
the British miners before an interna-
tional strike is entered upon.

THE ARMY.
Gratifying Results Attained During the
Past Year.

The report of the secretary OF war eX-
hibits several gratifying results attained
during the year by wise and transformations
methods. The percentage of assertions
from the army ian event for which both
congress and the department hav long been
seeking q remedy has been reduced dur
ing the past year "a per cent. and for the
months of August and September, during
which time the favorable effects of the act
of June 16 we're felt, So per cent. as com-
| pared with the same months of 1889. The
consolidation Of the divisions having
charge of the hospital service records of the
volunteer soldiers are very remarkable.
This change was effected in July, 1889, and
at that time there were 1854 cases await
ing attention., more than half Of those being
calls from the pension office for information
necessary to the adjudication OF pension
claims on the 30th day of June last, though
over 300, 600 new calls had come In.
There was not a single case that had
not been examined and answered.
I concur in the recommendations Of the
secretary that adequate and regular Appro-
priations be continued for coast defense
works and ordnance. Plans have been
practically agreed upon, and there can be
no good reason for delaying the extension
of them, while the defenseless state of our
great sea ports furnish an urgent reason for
wise exhibition. The encouragement has
been extended to the militia of the states
generally designated the national guard u
and should be continued and enlarged.
These military organizations constitute in
Il large sense the army Of the United States,
while about ive-siXths of the annual cost
of their maintenance is betrayed by the
states.
