The Pennsylvania Railroads Second Tour
to the Golden Gate.

The Pennsylvania Railroads Second Tour
to the Golden Gate,
Tourists on the first Pennsylvan la Rail-
road tour to the Golden Gate, left New
Orleans last week, after witnessing the
great Carnival of Mardi Gras. Their spec
ial train has provoked the greatest admir-
alton aud the most favorable comment
from the Southern people, owing to its
palatial equipment. Letters from the tour
ists en- route to friends at home are full of
expressions of delight in regard to the trip.
The second tour, which will leave Phiia-
delphia Tuesday, March Sd, is filling up
rapidly, due in a great measure to the de-
sire OF many to BIO in California In the de-
lightful season of carly spring. The route
taken for the second tour west traverses
the States OF Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New
Mexico, and Arizona, entering the Ameri-
can Utopian State California from the
south, while esst-bound 1t takes the same
route as the first tour. Stops of longer or
shorter duration are made at all the prom
inent points en- route In both directions.
The tate is remarkably low, being but
$275, yet including Pullman Palace Car
accommodations, meals, and several side
tripe. The descriptive itinerary may
be procured upon application to George
w. Boyd, Assistant General Passenger
Agent. For those who anticipate joining
this second tour application for space
should be made at once, as the number TO
be carried Is limited.

The announcement that the Peary expedi-
ton, which started out under auspices so
favorable to success in its search for tho
North Pole, has already come 10 grief and is
in urgent need of assistance will have the
effect Of discouraging for q time many who
are interested in the special exploration in
which this expedition is engaged
The Peary expeditonary force was
equipped with every appliance that would
insure personal safety as well as diminish the
number Of natural distractions which it had
TO surnount. The experiences Of previous
expeditions had been carefully weighed. and
in the matter of boats, food, clothing and
mechanical arrangements fully utilized. And
yet in spite of these precautions, Lieutenant
Peary and his party are reported to be in a
position so precarious that unless they are
soon rescued they will inevitably perish.
A detailed account Of the history of the ex-
petition so far has not been received, but
there are several palpable evidences of in
efficiency in the manner IN which the ex-
petition has been conducted. Lieutenant
Peary has barely reached the Polar danger
line, as is shown by his ability to communi-
cate with the civilized world. and yet he is
calling Justify for an expedition to come to
his aid Expert opinion is TO the effect
that be is in no immediate peril, hav-
ing-ample supplies Of food and coal This
would not. however. be supposed from the
cutlery which he has raised under the far
Polar skies
The spirit in which he began the expedition
is in measure revealed by the fact that he
permitted his wife to accompany him. an act
which allows the inference to be drawn that
he had no just conception of the difficulties
which would have to be overcome in the
course of the expedition.
No unfavorable conclusion as to the posi-
bility of reaching the North Pole should be
drawn from the experiences of the Peary ex-
peditionary force, which upon the very out
skirts of the iceAoes of the Artic region has
disclosed the ineflicency of the commander
and the incompetence of his subordinates.

SENATOR FARwELL. General Dyrenforth and
Secretary Rusk are posing as the great origi-
nal rain makers. The Senator obtained the
appropriation for the experiment. the Secre-
tary directed the experiment to be carried
out, and the General performed it in person.
The trio are naturally pleased by the COM
parstiye success of the trials which have been
made of the dynamite balloons. If there is
any.merit in the new process of precipitating
moisture. it belongs TO q Virginian, who so
far has gotten very little credit for his practi-
cal suggestions in this connection In 1880
General Daniel Ruggles of Fredericksburg,
patented continuance for producing rain
which he described as "a balloon carrying
torpedoes and cartridges charged with such
explosives as nitroglycerine. dynamite. gum
cotton, gunpowder OF Eliminates, and con-
Meeting the balloon with an electrical
apparatus for exploding the cartridges"
This is substantially the Farwell- Rusk-
Dyrenforth invention.
