FAST TIME ON RAILS.
The great topic Of discussion in
railroad circles during the week has
been the railway races from London
to Aberdeen by the East and West
routes. The West companies took
the Initiative and did the distance,
$40 miles, at the rate OF a mile
minute throughout These compa-
MES thus made a new worlds record,
completely smashing the record held
for the past three years by the EN-
pire State express from New York
TO Buffalo. But the East route COM
panies improved on this time on
Thursday evening, covering $40 miles
in So minutes. The train, however,
was only composed OF an engine,
guards van and Two passenger

The approaching presence in Lon
don OF the son Of the japanese pre-
mier has caused stir in shipping
circles, as ii is reported the object
Of his visit is to place large con-

ers, as well as for a considerab BILE sup

believed there may be SOME truth in
the first portion Of the report, but
there are people who claim that there
can be no truth in the second part
Of it, as Japan is understood TO have
supplied her army with one of the
best rifles in the world, the inven-
ton Of q Japanese, and her anamu-
milton factories are believed to be
Of the very best.
