FAST MAIL NOW MAKES TIME.
Result Brought About by Changing
the EnEinCerA.

Under the new schedule the Union Pacific
Is handling the fast mail on time these days
and is experiencing but little difficulty in
making up for lost time occasioned by late
trains on other roads and the obstacles and
Inconvenience that come up nearly every
day in the moving of big train on swift
schedule time.
When the new schedule for the fast mail
went into effect there was considerable
trouble in getting the train over the road on
anything like schedule time, and some minor
changes had to be made in the running time.
The number of minutes saved were few and
the real change that saved the day for the
fast mail was changing around Of the en-
gineers. Some of the knights Of the throttle
who had pulled the fast mail under the old
schedule fell down when II came to making
the same time with much heavier train.
The officials have picked up couple of
former freight engineers, who have developed
into top-notchers, and they yank the new
train along on time and think nothing of 1t.
One of the new engineers has been going
out OF Omaha for several days from ten to
fifty minutes behind time and has record
of making the run to Grand Island on time.
There has been some trouble in getting the
train out OF Omaha on time, but with
the new men on the engines the run to
Ogden has been made every day and without
any difficulty.

LONDON COMMENT ON THE MESSAGE.
Portion Referring TO Venezuela
Exokes n GroMI from the lion.

Evokes n GrowI from the Lion.
LONDON, Dec. 3.-The newspapers tomor-
row will very generally contain editorial COM
ments upon President Cleveland's message to
congress. The Graphic says: The crudities
and indlscretions OF President Ceveland's
present pronunciamento on foreign affairs
might have been evolved by the late Mr..
Blaine In his worst mood. Can anything be
more absurd than the proposal that the
Schomberg line lin Venezuea) should be sub
mitted to arbitration. The reference to Cuba
is infinitely more injudicious. 1t Is virtually
an expression Of sympathy with filibuster-
ing"
The Times editorially says: president
Cleveland has drawn a startling picture OF
the difficulties created by the vicious cur
rency SYSTEM and we should be greatly sur
prsed IL the plans he suggested are not
warmly welcomed by the business men
throughout the states. But, flushed by elec-
torel victories, II Is probable enough that
the republicans will refuse to allow anything
to be done in the direction indicated. Mean
while, the remainder Of the message, espe-
cialy the references to foreign relations, will
give the impression that he is marking time.
Nothing he says commits him to a new or
aggressive foreign policy, whilst 1t will tax
the ingenuity OF his opponents to make out
that re has In any way compromised the
his own country"
The Post conservative, says: "As regards
Samoa and Venezuela, the message appears
to be framed on lines which Senator Chandler
might approve. In regard to Cuba, there
are similar signs Of disposition to con-
ciliate the feelings of popular agitators. Th sc
things are incidents of every presidential
campaign and President Cleveland never pre-
tended to be superior to them"
An editorial in the Chronicle says: ut Is
very doubtful If congress will accept Presi-
dent Cleveland's currency plan. The message
sounds cautious, but there is a welcome note
in the direction of free trade. The reference
to Armenia must be regarded as the definite
adherence of the United States to European
concert. Few honest critics can say any
thing against President Cleveland's references
to Venezuela We agree with him that the
boundary dispute is emiBently suited to arb-
tration, and undoubtedly our government will
take the same view. 1t must be remembered
that this question is quite distinct from that
of the reparation due us by Venezuela for
injuries. With such reparaton made, every
liberal in this country will acquiesce in Pres
ident Cleveland's doctrine. Our hands are
full enough without increasing our burdens
in America, but especially at the risk of Gre
ating serious strain between ourselves and
the one great power whose friendship is more
valuable to us than all the others put to-
gether."

scope Of bright colors, pretty girls, quaint
costumes and fantastic decorations, the oc-

Scotch costume. Mrs. Fit sang Scotch
song and James Godfrey gave a Japanese

Aside from the program, there was an
other feature in which the commercial was

booths lined the walls on either side of the
hall, representing ten of the nations Of the
earth. In the booths were displayed many
handsome articles for sale.

however, retained control of the board of

BxTIRPATING THE FUR SEAL.
Pups Dying of Starvation-CrueI
Slaughter of Mothers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80, 1S95.-The re-
cent report from the Treasury Depart
ment relative to the cruel slaughter OF
the fur seal during the past year by KILL
ing the mother seals and leaving the
pups to die of starvation. it is UNDER
stood. will be made the subject of In
quiry by the Senate Immediately after
the converting of Congress. Senators OF
prominence state that this ruthless de-
struction of the seal is due to the nom
enforcement of the regulation of the
Treasury Department and intimate that
this absence of positive action is due
not so much to neglect as to design. This
serious charge, it is stated. will be made
from the Democratic side of the Cham
Der.
The Paris tribunal of arbitration, which
a for its main object the preservation
of the fur seal, stipulated that firearms
should not be used within certain periods
of the year, and the Treasury regula-
tions were drawn in conformity with the
conditions prescribed by the Court of
Arbitration. 1t is said that the object in
the House preventing the use firearms
during a specified period was to prevent
a continuous session of catching and
make it impossible for seals to be thus
caught profitably.
This, however. it is charged by SEN
ators, is nullified by the Treasury regu-
lations as now enforced. Sealers VINO
Russia to catch seals during the prohibit
ed season here are permitted to carry
their double-barrelled shot guns and
cartridges with them under seal. On
return to this country they reach the
American seal resorts at the time e
hunting is permitted and then breaking
the seals or their arms begin their at
tackS 1t is contended that If the Treas
ury enforced the regulations as it was
intended they should be enforced, the
sealers would be compelled to return to
before starting out on their catch. This
would tend to make the business ex-
pensive and reduce the destruction to a
minimum. Again it is claimed that the
law requiring a log to be kept is either
openly violated or it's evasion countenanc-
ed by the Treasury officials. The regu-
latfons require the logbook TO show where
every seal was killed. whether the skin
was secured or not, the sex. and whether
pup or mature animal, etc., etc. The
assertion is made that this provision is
Secretary of the Treasury was called
upon by a Senate resolution for a opy
of all these logs. Only one was sent to
the Senate and accompanying it was a
statement from the Secretary that he
could not more fully respond for the
reason that it would be incompatible with
the public interest so to do. When this
reply was received it was too late to
take up the subject, but it will be
brought up for immediate investigation
upon the reaSsembling of Congress. 1t
is held by Senator's interested in this sub
ject that our relations with foreign gov
ernments can in nowise be interfered with
by the transmission to Congress of these
logbooks,. which relate entirely to the
lions with regard to the catching of
fur seals have been carried out.

STEVENSON AND LOVE STORIES.

May, 1872 have celebrated my holt
day from Samoa" by a plunge at the
beginning of 1.-THE Young Chevaiier." /
am afraid my touch is a little broad in
a love story; Ican't mean one thing and
write another. AS for women, l am no
more in any fear of them. / can do a
sort all right; age makes me less afraid
Of a petticoat.but ! am a little in fear of
grossness. However, this David Balfour
iove affair, that's all right-might be
read out to a mothers m~eeting-or a
daIghter's meeting. The difficulty in a
love yarn, which dweis at all on love,
is the dwelling on one string; it is mani
fold, 1 grant. but the root fact is there
unchanged, and the sentiment being very
intense. and already very, much handled
in letters, positively calls for a little
paving andg racing. With a writer of
nv prosaic literalness, and ~pertinency
of point of view, this all shoves toward
grossness-positively even toward the far
more damnable closeness. This has kept
me off the sentiment hitherto, and now
/ am to try: Lord! Of course Meredith

with all my romance I am a realist and
