Up Pixies Peak,

The Cog Wheel Railway has been
finished to the half way house On
Pixies Peak, and the company ex-
poets to have the line completed to
the summit by the latter part of the
year.
Think of climbing through the
clouds and summer snow banks by
steam!
Up, up, up, 14.l47 feet!
The sister peaks, % OF which are
higher than Pixies, many of which
can be seen from the summit, stand
out like sentinels. while the foot hills
in the distance appear like the great
waves and billOws of the ocean. In
the brilliant sunlight the magnificent
panorama of the Rocky Mountain
range isspread out before one, and
ye. Tx St.- M cioud witi3Ns playful
lightning and peals of thunder may
be rolling mile below.
Every tourist wants to climb the
mountain. For years the trip was
made on foot or on horses trained to
the trails for this special purpose
BY leaving Manitou early in the
morning the ascent and return could
be made in a day. Your Eastern
bellies not only enjoy burro ride
on the sly in some of the quiet hooks
around Manitou, but like to climb
to the summit of the peak as well on
the faithful trail ponies. The wind
! blows terribly hard on the Pixies
Peak trail sometimes and has nc
respect for lady's skirts. Some
very precise maidcns tie little lead
in their dresses. They usually &C
in parties and are caught by camera
Oh the summit, where still stands the
abandoned United States signal sta.
ton building.
Sometimes the ladies look like
masqueraders, for they often put
masks on their faces to save their
complexion.
But this Is progressive age. Last
year d carriage road Was constructed
to the summit, and the latest scheme
Is that Of building railroad to the
top of the mountain.

The Ape and the Rats.

ead keeper Byrue noticed several
fMnths ago that the rats displayed a
Nsided preference for Roxy. They
7n all about the floor of his cage,

I eeper could not fathom, SO close h
watch was kept on his movements.
Every day for his dinner Roxy is
fed peck or SO of boiled sweet pota-
toes. Directly after dinner one day
the mystery WAS explained. Roxy
broke off the ends of all his sweet
potatoes and tossed them about the
floor Of his cage. Inless than two sec.
ondsa dozen or more rats were inside
having a good meal.
Steps were taken to abate the nuis.
ance. A big wire trap was baited
with toasted cheese and other dain.
ties so to1thsome to the average
rodent. But it was no use, because
Roxy insiaed on feeding them the
succulent sweet potato, and the trap
remained untenanted. Therefore,
the big fellows sweet potato supply
was Withheld one dry and liberal
supply placed in the trap. That
night Ro1y's screams were heard in
the remoest ends of the garden, and
the trap lecame SO full of rats that
the door Ieluoed to drop shut.
T EveryIime one of the doomed rats
approached the tempting trap Roxy
shook ue bars of his cage and
shIiekedWIth fury. He did every

THE SILVER BILL.
A Good Deal of Uncertainty as to the Next
Steps to be Taken in the House.

A Good Deal of Uncertainty as to the Next
Steps to be Taken in the House.
WASHINGTON, June l9.-The silver bill
is now in possession of the clerk of the
committee on coinage, weights and
measures, and he has no authority to sur
render its custody except upon order Of
the house or of the speaker. No such
order has been made by the house, the
resolution merely expunging the state
ment of the transaction from the journal,
and the speaker is not likely to recall it :.
There is no record of the journal that any
reference of the measure has been made,
and therefore it is doubtful whether
a motion to discharge the committee Of
the whole from further consideration of
the measure will be in order, or even
whether the committee on rules can re-
port the resolution fixing a day for its
consideration. Chairman Conger will
refuse to take any action in dissonanee
with the wishes of majority
of his committee. The journal of We'd
nesday, however, not having yet been
approved, some method may be devised
TO cut the gordian knot which now binds
the silver bill, and some means may be
invented 10 relieve the house from its
present dilemma.

A CUSTOMS UNION.
Secretary Blaine Suggests an Interchange Of
Products with LATIN American States.
The Presidents Letter.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The president to-day
in transmitting to the senate the communication
from Secretary Blaine, in reference to a customs
union, said: at has been so often and so per-
sistently stated that our tariff laws offered an
insnrmountable barrier to large exchange of
products with the Latin American nations that
1 own it proper TO call especial attention to the
fact that more than 81 per cent. of products of
those nations sent to our ports are
now admitted free. II sugar is
placed uGon the free list, practically
every important article exported from these
states will be given untaIed access to our mar
ket except wool. The real difficulty in the way
of negotiating profitable reciprocity treaties is
that we have given freely SO much that would
which the treaties imply. I can't doubt.
however, that the present advantages which
products of these near and friendly states enjoy
in our markets, though they are not by law ex-
dispose them to adopt such measures by treaty
or otherwise as will tend to equalize and
greatly enlarge our mutual exchchanges.
1t will certainly be time enough for us to con-
slider whether We must cheaper the cost of
products by cheapening labor in rider to gain
access to South American markets when we have
fairly tried the effect of established and reliable
steam communication, and of convenient meth

shall have acted upon the pending trafhc

under any special powers given by law, our
trade with the states represented in conference
can be enlarged upon basis OF material adyan-

Capt. "Ben" Tillman, Farmers Candidate
for Governor of South Carolina.
A few miles back in the country from
the little railroad station of Ropers,
Edgefleld county, lives a man who is to-
day the most remarkable character in
South Carolina. Capt. "Ben" Tfllman
Is plain everyday. well-to-do farmer,
who, up to four years ago, had never
made political speech. at that time
he became connected with a movement
to reorganIZe the agricultural depart
ment, and it was then that he first ex-
hibited the wonderful ability as a stump
speaker which has since caused him to
be the best hated man in the
state by those who have incurred his dis
pleasure. SO effective was Tillman
against the agricultural department that
he brought about an entire reorgsniza-
zion, which greatly increased its eff
cheney. This was done despite the fact
that lie was then an unknown man. On
March 81, of the present year, a conven-
ton of about two hundred and fifty
farmers, regularly elected at county
conventions ali over the state, assembled
at Columbia, and suggested the name Of
Capt. B R. TillmRn for the Democratic
nomination for governor. This has
opened up what promises to be the
warmest political campaign in fifteen
years. AS the farmers are largely in
the majority, although but one daily
paper IN the state is supporting him, he
has q good chance OF success. The
Democratic state convention meets Sep
TENDER 10, when the fight within the
party for the regular nomination which
means an election Will come off.

A CHANGE OF FEELING.
Grains Proposition Now Pending Concerning
Deep Water Appropriation Fa-
vored at Galveston.
specia1 to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX. June 19.-Upon receipt to-
day of fuller advices explaining clearly Rep
resentative GRANTS proposition, and which has
met with the approval of Speaker Reed and
been very radical change in public opinion,
against the brilliant and energetic
congressm an from this district, his course meets
with hearty and unanimous approval as the
very best that could be done under the circum-
stances. Crain's proposition is virtually in eff
feet the abandonment of the special appropriA-
ton bill of &c. 200, 900 as it passed the senate,
and to secure through the river and harbor
bill an appropriation annually of 81, 200, 900 for
harbor improvements here, to be expended
und or the direction of the secretary of war.
CANT pension legislation now pending in
congress and with Speaker Reed and
Secretary of State Blaine oppos ed
to a special bill with the almost positive veto of
Galveston's chances for deep water were
tremely slim, hence he proposed the measure
now before congress, to which there is no oppo
sition and ii will receive favorable consideration,
which is evinced in the reply of Col. William H.
Sinclair, now in Washington, to Mr.. Julius
Runge which is as follows:' Nothing alarming or
discouraged about the modified bill, and you
should promptly acquiese in it. 1t is virtually
the same as the original bill. Saw Gen. Casey
and Maj. Ernst this morning and they confirm
what say
The dependency prevalent yesterday has
given away to feeling OF hope
and Grain is enthusiastically commended for his
wise and polite action in q measure of such
grave Importance to Galveston. The feeling
here, predicated upon authentic adyices re-
ceived from Washington, is that Grains propo-
sition will 90 through without dissenting vote,
and Galveston get all she wants.
