The present visit of Nasrulla Khan, second son of the Ameer of Afghan istan, to England, is fraught with political significance on account of the long friendship between the Ameer and England and the import ance of Afghanistan as a buffer state between India and Russia. Again the friendship of the Ameer and his heir Is of great importance, for the of the former, supreme ill his country, is considered the only ward against the danger to the residents of Cubal from the fanatical hatred of the Afghans.

LAST DAY IN THE WEST SPENT IN A TRIP OVER THE GREAT
 LOOP. Golden, Idaho Springs, Georgetown and Silver Plume Visited by the Ar- kansas Press ExcursiOnists
 What They Saw
 aud Did.

On Tuesday evening after q street ear ride over the city of Denver the Arkansas editors were invited to the office of Attorney Edgar Cape lass, in the Symcs Block, to witness an invention of his known as Il phOnograph amplifier. It is fun nel-shaped object, which, when at tached to a phonograph, amplifies the sounds so that the sound-waves could be distinctly heard throughout the entire suit of rooms. The guests were arranged along in two open rows seated so that every one could see the instrument. Attorney Cape lass operated the phonograph am plifier or sound increaser, and imme- diately the rooms were filled with melodious music. A number of pop ular and difficult selections were ren- dered and every note distinctly heard. One of the best features of the entertainment were the rawlings of John Mccullough, the dead actor, in scene taken from ..Virginus. , The entertainment lasted for fully two honrs, and was highly enjoyed by all present.
 The last day in the West (Wednes- day) vas spent in a trip over the Union Pacific X Gulf Railway through Clear Creek Canyon and over the far-famed Loop to Silver |plume. On this occasion the Arkan- sas travellers were the guests of the railway company, and were accom- panied on the trip by Col. Oliver, of the Union Pacific and Gulf line, and Mr. F. E. Hoffman, of the Missouri Pacific, each of whom buisied him. self in pointing out and explaining points of interest and otherwise making themselves generally agree able.
 This trip proved to be one of the most enjoyable events of the entire excursion to the West, and was sec ond only in interest and importance to Pike's Peak.
 The first stop after leaving Denver was the little town of Golden, whose importance Is due to the fact that 1t was here that gold was first dis covered in Colorado, and also that 1t is the seat of large agricultural college After leaving Golden !t fs but Q short distance to Fork $ Creek where the train enters the canyon. The engines puff and hiss and trem- ble as they struggle with their load, and cross from one side of the canyon to the other, now lodging behind q gigantic boulder, now creeping under threatening ledge of rocks, then suddenly rushing to the other side to get n foot-hold on the narrow shelf at the waters edge, crowding closely

sudden turn, 1t Is again seen, with the train this time rushing toward the city and still climbing, again tnrn to the east; now down ninety feet below Is the track just passed; away again on the farther side of the mountain, again crossing to the west side; suddenly turning to the east until the Big Fill, seyenty-six feet high-too sharp a curve for a bridge-has given another circle to the track; then with turn to the west, around the slope of Mcclellan Mountain, still another view of Georgetown, with all the tracks in view, each seeming to have no rela- tion to it's neighbor, until another valley in the mountains discloses the pretty village of Silver Plum, the close ally and best friend of George town. Bft the Loop is n railway on Il 'bender'-it is the apotheosis of gyration, the supreme luxury of en- tanglement-yet all wisely, clearly, skillfully planned-a wondrous mon- ument of human genius and engi- neering skill"
 We have now passed over the Great Loop and reached Silver Plume. The elevations of the places mentioned are as follows: Forks Creek, l,677 feet above Denver and (, ,SS0feet above sea level; Idaho Springs, 7,5A above sea level, Georgetown $500 feet, and Silver Plume 9,772 feet. From Georgetown to Silver Plume by wagon road along side tie mountain the distance Is only mile and one half, while by the railroad and over the loop the distance is four miles and one-half. Upon reaching Silver Plume we successfully ran the gauntlet of the hotel crlers and boarding house keepers and walked by the wagon road back to George at the Barton House as guests of the Arapahoe Press Club, of Denver. On our return we reached Denver at 5 o'clock, and at o'clock that even ing the Arkansas excursionists bid a fond farewell to their Denver friends and departed over the Union Pacific, via Kansas City, for their Arkansas homes.
 Upon our return over the Union Pacific we were accompanied as far as Kansas City by Mir. J. E. Frawley, travelling passenger agent of that line, who pointed out all places of in- terest and otherwise contributed to the pleasure of the trip.
 After reaching Arkansas the excur- sionists, before separating, adopted resolutions expressive of their grat- itude, which, in due time, will bepub- lished in these columns.
 Thus ends one of the most pleasant excursions ever enjoyed by the Ar kansas Press Association.

to the flint walls of the beetling cliffs which rise hundreds of feet above the stream and form many n dome and battlement at their sum- mits, while below Is the seething, rest less and resistless stream rushing like a torrent down the mountain side and madly down the chasm.
 There is no desire on the part of train-crew or passenger to make rapid time on this route, and all are content to accept the schedule time of fifteen miles an hour.
 The next stop is Idaho Springs a lovely valley of 100 acres This place is noted as health resort, and is also mining camp ofconsiderable wealth and importance,
 But we must hastily rush along, and the next stop we makeis George town, just at the foot of the great loop, the latter of which is one of the greatest sights in the West. Perhaps the GRAPHIC can best give its readers some faint conception of Georgetown and the far-famed Loop by copying the language of a descriptive railway pamphlet, as follows:
 GEoRGETowN.
 "Georgetown is handsome town and full of queer surprises. It seems strange to find in the very heart of the mountains city of nearly 1000 people-an active, busy. enterprlsing place, where the rumbling of mills, the blasting of mines, as the long tunnels and deep shafts are driven into the mountains, and all the ele- ments of a building community dis turb the quiet of land that scarce q score of years ago was known only to geography and to dreams. The bright sunshine, the pure atmosphere, the mountain breeze, the coal, dew less nights, render life in this portion of the Rockies, pleasurable and in- spring existence. During the winter the temperature is even less severe and more equable than the winters of Denver, the city of the finest cli- mate on the continent. The snow fall is so light that sleighing and inter sports are almost unknown, while the winter season by no means interferes with the mine industry Although the name of the Rocky Mountains carries the idea of inac- feasibility notwithstanding their size the points that cannot be reached by train or wagon-road can be counted on the fingers. The Union Pacific, Denver < Gulf Railway follows the water-leyel of Clear Creek into the heart of the mountains, and at the virtual head of the canon, where Georgetown Is situated, every part of the range Is reached, not with un- due exertion, but with comfort and pleasure. Perched above George town Is the famous Loop that wonderful piece of engineering skill now world-famous.
