eommodious smoking saloon was
fitted up amidships. Many other
improvements, some striking novel
ties, were introduced, and last, but
not least, the Oceanic steamed 3
knot faster per hour than had hith-
erto been accomplished, and thus,
SAYS Mr.. Harland with pardOnable
pride. the Oceanic started the
transatlantic traffic Of the COM
pany with the house Aag Of the
White Star proudly flying at the
main."
But the Belfast builders did not
stop here. The Oceanic and her
sisters were soon followed by the
Adristic and Baltic each 4S7 feet
6 inches in length, The Germauic
and Britannia +55 feet long and
5000 indicated horsepower. Next
came four large cargo steamers
with 5 moderate amount Of saloon
accommodation. and : large space
for emigrants. Of these, two were
$50 feet and two 40 feet long.
The White Star, however, had not
given up striving Tor the best time
across the Atlantic. In February,
1892, the Majestic made the west
ward passage in 5 days, 21 hours,
- minutes, average speed 2O.4l
knots, the best time ever made to
that date. In the same year her
sister ship the Teutonic made the
eastward passage at an average Of
2O21 knots the fastest run then on
record. These have been beaten
only by the City Of Paris 2O.76
average in October last which
beats all former efforts.
In 1883 Harland d Wolf
launched thirteen iron and steel
ships Of 3 registered tonnage
OF over 10000 tons.
4 monster ship is now being
built in Belfast 10 try conclusions
with the new Cunarder Campania,
which made 23.2 knots on her trial
trip.
The Oceanic is 10 feet longer
than the largest battleship in the
British navy. The latter, however,
is nearly double the breadth and
requires 3 feet more depth of water
That 8 ship Of this class should
have entered the harbor OF Homo
lulu, berthed comfortably at z
wharf for as long as was necessary,
and then gone ont to sea without |
hitch, not only illustrates the newly |
acquired capabilities of the harbor, |
but speaks well for the competence
Of the pilot and all other officials
concerned in handling the big ship. |

Judge McConLell granted an alternative
writ Of mandaIaus directed to Arthur W.
Porter, the state auditor. requiring him to
show cause why. lie had not issued his
warrants in payment of certain claims of
the agricultural college. The answer Of
the state auditor shows that the state will
have to trim its sails very carefully. There
is now no money in the general fund Of
the state and more money has been ap-
propriated than will be received for Two
years. Th: constitutional debt limit is
also overruI.

The auditor asks the court Cor advice as

PLAINvU.LE, Kan, March l3.-A

The total loss is $1,000. Sylvester Scat

ings of Sam Wise, farmer, were
burned with contents. The loss is Sc

west of Plainville, was also destroyed.
The fire ran southeast across Saline
river and much damage was probably
done to stock.
GARDEN CITY. Kan, March -
Widespread and destructive prairie fires
have been raging in this vicinity for
the past two days. Saturday Frank
Gruneer. living ten miles east OF here,
lost all of his buildings, household
goods, farm implements, etc, saving
nothing but the clothing of himself and
family. j. M. Nettrower, living ten
miles north, was equally unfortunate.
Three school houses in the north and
east portions of the county were also
burned, and many farmers have lost
large stocks of hay and other property.
Yesterday strong wind was blowing
from the southwest, and late last night
word reached here that the farm OF Mr..
Anderson, seven miles east of here. was
swept bare by the flames, and both
Anderson and his wife so badly burned
that Anderson soon died and his wife
can live but few hours. Extensive
fires were visible last evening in the
northwest, east and south, and it is
feared much damage will still be done.

NEW CANADIAN ROAD.
Proposed Route OF Rival OF the
Canadian Pacific.


WINNIPEG, Man, March 19.-The
chief topic of conversation is proposed
new road between Winnipeg and Lake
Superior paralleling the Canadian Pa
cifc. Men interested say they have
$4,000, 900 of New York capital ready to
build the line and that all they want is
a guarantee of the local government
to 90 on with the work. This
morning a strong deputatiOn of citizens
awaited on the governor to urge him
to call a special session of the
legislature. The scheme, as fully out
lined by the promoters, proposed giving
to the provice another competing line TO
to Port Arthur and Duluth. The iuten-
ton is 10 run the proposed line from
Winnipeg, south of the Canadian Pa
cific, tapping the Rainy river country
and through to Port Arthur,
distance Of between 400 and 500
miles. 1t is proposed to utilize either
the Manitoba Southeastern or Winnipeg
Southeastern charter through the prov
ince to the Lake of the Woods and also
utilize the charter of a company which
has powers to run through the Rainy
river country to Port Arthur, Duluth
and West Superior. The Northern Pa
cific has arrangements for running
over the latter line to Port Arthur.
The connection at Port Arthur and
Duluth by railway will shortly be
completed to the Zenith City. The
company asks the government for a
cash basis of 500, 200. 1t does not ask
for the payment of this amount until
after the completion of the line in 1895.
The company will file a bond with the
government of Manitoba to reduce pres
ent grain rates ~ cents per bushel be-
tween Winnipeg and Lake Superior.
The government assured the deputation
that their request would be taken into
consideration at the first cabinet coun'
Gil meeting.
