Inlet.
TUCSON, Ariz., July 1.-Advices from
Yuma say the water in the Colorado desert
basin continues to rise. Two cars at Sal
ton, which is five miles from the main
track of the Southern Pacific, are five feet
in water. 81.
A boat arrived yesterday with crew
who are exploring the lake. They said
that Indian runners had encircled the lake,
and that it is certain that the lake is fed
from subterranean source, as no surface
inlet was discovered The artesian wells
in the basin have ceased to how
YUMA, Ariz., July 1.-The water which
began to rise in the Salton salt mines last
Saturday afternoon, driving out the Ia
borers, now covers an area of ten miles
square, three to eight feet deep. The
lower end of the side-track from the rail
road to the salt works is gone. The mines
are flooded. Indian Wells, sixty miles
south, is 227 feet above Salton and fort forty
miles square the water is from three to
five feet deep, being the overflow of the
Colorado River. All that prevents the
water from flowing into Salton Sink is
bank of loose sand nine feet high and a
mile wide. Parties in from Indian Wells
report the water walled up against this
bank.
it's thought the water has found an
underground passage through the sand
into the basin. If so it will carry the
food into it, as the Colorado for ten miles
is OVERLOOKING its west bank and pouring
an immense body of water into the La
Guna region at Indian Wells.

NEW YORK, July 1, 1891
Dear sir-The Importance of immediate prepa-

year must be obvious to every democrat The
timely and energetic conduct of our opponents
would be warning enough if there were no other
reason for it. 1t is evident that they expect de-
cisive results upon their extensive and well or
ganized system of republican clubs. 1t will be
the pockets of the beneficiaries of the monopoly
policy maintained by that party. 1t can be met
system of democratic societies. The latter is
more appropriate to our purpose since it was the
first organization Of the democratic party in the
United States and was the instrument Of agita-

democratic party in the first great struggle in re-
| stitutional government. It is earnestly recon-
mended that every official in the regular organi-
every thing possible within his Jurisdiction

The plan cannot in any way interfere with

Gunboats In hinese Waters.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-Advices received
at the navy department from Admiral
Belknap, commanding the Asiatic squad
ron, are to the effect that ample precau-
lions have been taken to protect the
foreign settlements in China; that five
gunboats are now in the Yang -Kiang
river, and that no trouble is feared at
present. The report of the admiral says
that the outbreak near Shanghai had its
origin in the maltreatment of native by
policeman attached to the French colony.
The policeman was spirited away before
the day set for his trial, to the great ex-
asperation of the Chinese, who threatened
the French colonists.

THE PIXIES PEAK RAILROAD.
First Passenger Train Over TIA
Wonderful Grade


COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, July 1.-The
Pixies Peak railway is now in successful
operation. The first passenger train
reached the summit yesterday afternoon.
The train consisted of an engine and one
car, occupied by sixtyfve people, mostly
excursionists from Denver. The lower
termin us Of the line is 6, 400 feet above sea
level and the upper is 14,147. The dis
lance is nine miles, and the steepest grade
a rise of one in forty feet. On the way up
a slight snow-squall was encountered and
on the summit the air was unpleasantly
cool even to persons with heavy over
coats.
The engine used on the train weighs
forty tons. 1t operates by cog wheels
alone. The rear of the locomotive is ele-
waited. so that the boiler is nearly level
when on the heaviest grades. As the en-
CINE pushes the train up hill, instead of
pulling, it has no use for pilot, or ''cow-
catcher" and, indeed, barely resembles, in
any respect, the ordinary locomotive. Tn g
passenger coaches do not differ materially
from the ordinary Pullman coach; but are
constructed so that the passengers may sit
comfortably in horizontal position when
the car is on an incline.

BAR HARBoR, Me-, July 1.-7vMr. Blaine
| has been driving twice to-day. He rode
about town this morning, and this after
noon he took long drive on the Corni-
chic road, and rode twelve or fifteen miles
altogether. Mrs. Blaine and one of the
Coppinger children, as usual, accompanied
him. At one time during the ride Mr..
Blaine alighted from the carriage and
walked a short distance. Mr.. Blaine's
physician says the secretary's health has
constantly improved since coming to Bar
Harbor, although, as in all cases, he has
occasional days of depression, but has had
no relapse. There is no foundation for
the alarming reports circulated. His men
tai strength is unimpaired. He says his
improvement is, of course, slow, but he
sees no reason why Mr.. Blaine may not ar
rive at good state of health before the
close of the summer. He rides out every
day, sees his friends as usual, appears to
enjoy his vacation and attends to what
ever business is necessary. At the Stan
wood, Mr.. Blaine's cottage, it was said that
Marquis Imperiali has not yet called upon
the secretary. Nothing of public interest
has brought the marquis here, but he
comes simply for a vacation.

Appropriation Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. AFTER the trans
Senate there was a short session for execu-

reopened consideration of the Notifications

The amendment reported by the appro-
priation committee appropriating $400, 900
for rified sea coast mortars of cast iron,
hooped with steel with Mr.. Chandler's
amendment to 1t requiring them to be
wholly of steeD gave rise to long discus
sion, at the close of which Mr.. Chandlers
amendment was agreed to, and then at the
suggestion of Mr.. Dawes, the committee
amendment as amended was rejected. The
other committee amendments were agreed
to without much discussion.
THE BOARD OF ORDNANCE.
To the paragraph relating to the board of
ordnance and fertilization Mr. Cockrell
moved to add the following words: "And
one additional member shall be added to
the board of ordnance and fortification who
shall be civilian and not an officer of the
army or navy, and shall be nominated by
consent of the Senate, and shall hold his
office for four years and receive a salary of
$4,000 and actual travelling expenses.
THE NUMBER DOUBLED.
Mr.. Chandler favored the amendment,
but suggested that there should be two
civilians on the board instead of one
Mr.. Cockrell accepted tie suggestion, and
the amendment was modified accordingly,
and was agreed to.
The bill was then passed.
The Senate next took up the military
academy appropriation bill.
There was but one amendment, and that
one to the amount of 5000, offered to the
bill. 1t was agreed to and the bill passed,
the only delay being the time consumed in
its reading.

men first had an inning and then Mr.. Milli-
ken of Name argued in favor of the propo-
sition to restore the value of subsidiary

would otherwise leave the country. As it
was nearing the hour of adjournment.
Mr.. Bartine moved that when the COM

that If the hour of IL o'clock was reached

would stand adjourned until next Wednes.

again INTO the stormy sea of recrimination
from which 1t emerged yesterday. Mr.

hls colleagues. They had no right to as
