Webb. Second edition. lllusuaueo' o'o' pp' -o0'
G.. p. Putnam's Sons
In this handsomely made and beautifully illustrated
volume Dr. Webb gives plain, unvarnlshed chronicle
of one of the most luxuriousy appointed railroad On
oursons ever undertaken train OF four special cars
took Dr. Webb and dozen relatives and friends across
the continent and specially chartered steel steamer
1vas In waiting TO convey them to Alaska. Never was
sightseeing done under happier auspices the only APP
parent drawback being that the fare In Their own d
ing car was good to put the travellers out on con-
cet with that of most of the waySde houses at which,
when off the line Of railroad, they were obliged some
times TO put up. As TO the DESCRIPTION OF ~nat was
seem little needs to be said. Everything of this kind
WAS done before not once or twice, but many times,
and by professional observers and writers Competl-
ton with them by an amateur would be fertie ana IL
must be said that Dr. Webb has made no attempt OF the
kind The fault OF his book, indeed, is probably the
effect of his dfdence for brief and glsncng record
NJ things seen can hardly escape duness at times and
this danger might have been avoided by larger lnfu-
sion of the personal element The author never loses
an opportunity to return thanks for the kindness shown
him by railroad superintendent, directors and presl
dents and IL is clear that every effort was made to
render the Journey comfortable and successful.
How comfortable even prolonged and extensive
a. trip can be made when money Is no object, this vol
ume conclusively demonstrates OF course very few
neonle can afford TO travel I'm this lordly fashion, but it
I'm none the less interesting to hear how the thing can
be DONE DR.. Webb has very pretty notion OF what
such an excursion ought to De- and he writes about 1t
in the simplest way. The illustrations are numerous
and as a rule very good. The majority are photo
erayures. and the points of view well chosen DR..
Webb and his party saw southern California Monterey,
the Yosemite Valley ana the Big Trees the glaciers Of
Alaska the wonders of the Canadian Pacific the Vel
lowstone National Park and in short everything worth
seeing within the scope Of their programme OF course
full itinerary of such Journey could be made to fill
two or three volumes but the writer was restricted TO
what had not been said before very modest pamphlet
would suffice. Presumably this book was prepared
rather as a memento than with the idea OF adding to
the general stock of information and to this end n
beautiful "edton de luxe" was first issued The
present is popular edition, but it is published with no
little luxury of type, paper and Illustrations.

An arrival from Lower Spring Creek
Monday brings the news Of an attack
made by . party of Indians upon the
ranch of Noah Newbanks, shortly after
shutdown Saturday night. Newbanks,
his family and three men who are in
his employ had Just finished their sup
per, and were seated in the room dis
cussing the affairs Of the day, when,
without o moments warning, erash-
ing of glass was heard, followed
by the report of a rifle. Secur-
ing their arms Newbanks and his men
rushed out of doors, only TO meet vol
ley from party of Indians, who had
taken position about one hundred and
fifty yards from the house. Fortunately
none Of the whites were injured. They
Immediately returned the fire, and tho
Indians retreated across the Cheyenne.
A vigilant lookout was kept up at the
ranch all night, but the Indians did not
return Ia the attack. Next morning tho
ground was closely examined, and in
several places the grass was found TO DO
stained with blood, and from this it is
thought some of the Indians were
wounded.

DANGEROUS SEEDS.

the Trains.
A remarkable grass, we are told by
traveller, is the Paja voladora. This
grows in tufts, not unlike those of n
small Pampas grass. From slender
stems there stand out still slighter
branches, at the end of which are the
seeds, the whole, stem and seeds, hav-
ing somewhat the appearance of min
iature fir tree as regards shape, and hav-
ing various lengths up to two feet or 50.
When ripe, these steps with the seeds
blow bodily away in the first strong
wind. Flying through the air from
afar they look rather like dust cloud
against the sky; and half-rolling, half
drifting over the living grass of the
plain, before the sudden onset of tor
menta storm with wind. This drift
ing movement over the grass has Gu
riously bewildering effect on the eye.
When the storm is over, the grass is
found i'm drifts against the posts and
wires of the fences; these collections re-
mind one strongly of snow drifts. On
December 10 Tor sol, 1888, q terrible ac-
cident occurred on the railway between
Candalaira and Guardia de Ia Esquina.
A cutting had become filled with this

to a suitable wind, the train got safely
through. Bnt in the afternoon OF the
same day the train re-passed in the OPP

the meantime become filled again with
these seed stems. The wind was, In
this return journey, in such direction
as TO favor the tendency of the burning
grass To set fire to the carriages. They

The Tendency Of Republican Methods to

Overthrow Free Vote.
In the contest over the fraud aud
force electimQ1ll there is evidence of a
tendency on the part OF the more con-
servative Republicans to press amend
ments to the measure calculated TO
modify its odious Imperialism.
The suggestions have value as calling
the attention Of the country TO pro-
visions 50 dctestable that even the
strongest Republicans hesitate TO ac-
cept them. But they have another and
a less agreeable significance. They
evince the effect of the pressure of the
foater fund machine for aid to the
project that has become the favorite of
the Administration, because in no other
way is there reasonable prospect of
overcoming the popular majority
against the Republican party A free
vote and fair count would mean the
election Of q Democratic President and
another Democratic House of Repre-
sentatiyes in 1892. Trained 10 reliance
on the methods of intimidation and
chicanery, the imperialistic chiefs fail
to see that their reasonable efforts can
have no other result than To render the
popular uprising against them irresist'
ible and wcll-nigh universal.
The most noteworthy of the modiiica
tons proposed are those of Senator
Teller and Senator Stewart. The for
mer seeks to provide for the exercise
by officers OF elections, OF ministerial
power only, as distinguished from
Judicial, While the latter proposes that
