Union Pacific OficiaI Expresses High Hopes
of the Roads FIXTURE

Omaha, OCT 1S-President and Man
aging Receiver Clark OF the Union Pa
cific says that he is we'll pleased with
the plan for the reorganization of the
road and that he sees in Ii the placing
of the road on a firm basis again. In
all probability congress Will take UP
the question at its winter SeSsion-at
least so far as the government interests
are concerned. The three lines upon
which the new bonds Will be issued are
the Kansas Pacific, from Kansas City
10 Denver. the Denver Pacific, from
Denver TO Cheyenne, and the Union Pa
cific proper, from Council Bluffs to
Ogden. There are no branches inclu-
ded in this.
The general commissioner of adjust
ment of the engineers of the Union Pa
cific has finished its biennial session.
A great deal of business of Importance
10 the engineers has been transacted.
The engineers want to have time com
putad on the time of actual miles run.
This last is in the hands OF Receiver
Clark and If he does not render a decis-
ion the matter will probably be taken
up in the courts.

A SLAVE. NOW AN EMPRESS.
Rom &ntio Story of the nowaxer Empress
of China

There is no more dramatic story in
the world of fiction than that of the
dowager empress of ChinS. She vas
the child of poor peasants living in taa
suburbs OF Canton, and was remarkable
for her beauty and Intelligence. Whsn
her parents were actually starving she
proposed that they should sell her TO-
slave. This course was followed. aed
she became the property OF fam VA
general, who was so delighted with
her beauty and ready wit that he
adopted her as his daughter
At Picking she came under the en-
peror's notice, and his majesty made
the former slave his wife So higaly
did he value her intelligence that at his
death he left her regent of the empire,
and she is accredited with administer
ing the affairs of state bettor thaa
almost any of her predecessors Her
views In regard TO the mission quessi.a
in China are most sensible. Her majes-
ty thinks that Il the missionaries wou. "a
interpret the teachings of Confucbls n
accordance with Christian PRINCIPLES
they would have great success among
the people. But TO tell the Chinese
that everything they have heretolors
believed is al wrong results .n Co.afa-
clan worse COMPOUNDED.

TURKS ARE MUCH D1spLEAsEp.
Predictions are Made of Bloody Uprisings
by the Mosle $.

London, Oct. 1S.-The Constantinople
correspondent OF the Standard saws:
The reforms are not, properly speak
ing, the granting of French privileges,
so much as recapitulating and provid-
already existing codes affecting the
well-being of MoSlems as we'll as Chris
dianS. The ArmenianS consider that
the concessions are illusory and Turk
ISL officials admit that they We're wrung
from the porte under violent pressure.
The Turks are mostly furious and
many competent observers do not hes
itate to predict a crisis leading to revolt
and bloodShed compared with which
the Armenian troubles would be insig-
nificant. l am convinced, however, that
the sultan would employ his troops to
repreSs any MosleIn movement with the
utmost severity"
Constantinople. Oct. 1s.-Sir Phillip
Currie, the British ambassador has
received from an Armenian source a
warning that the young Turkey party
will probably induce some Armenian
miscreant to attempt his life in order
TO disgrace the Armenian people.

GROWERS BABIES CLOSELY WATCHED
Big Detectives Guard Them Wherever
They Go.

Washington, Oct 1S.-When Mrs.
Cleveland with her three little daugh-
tiers, and accompanied by the nurse, the
governess and maid. arrived in this city
there were in the same ear and close to
the party as they entered their carriage
three secret service officers, on of whom
was tn brother of Chief Hazen.
It appears the attendance of these Of
ficers had not been merely temporary,
but during the stay of the presidents
family at Buzzard's Bay there was a
detail watching the premises day and
night in order TO protect the president.
his wife and little ones from cranks
and eYil-minded persons who might try
in the seclusion of that place TO work
personal harm to Mr.. or Mrs. Cleve-
land or to kidnap one or more Of the
children.
This custom of travelling with govern
ment detectives near their persons was
not adopted by any of Mr. Cleveland's
predecessors, and the precaution now
is said to be taken on account of the
anxiety OF the presidents frineds
Every day or so some crank or other
visits the White House and the daily
mail OF the president contains threaten
Ing epistles. which, by the way. never
reach his eyes, as the watchful Thur
Der deposits them in the waste basket
before he sends the mail 10 his chief.
As Une president returned to WASH
ington by water and was isolated from
all the outside world it was not neces-
sary for him To be accompanied by any
or the secret service officers. The force
on duty al Gray Gables was therefore
ordered TO accompany Mrs. Cleveland
ana her little flock back to Washington.
Another precauuon for the safety OF
his children has been taken by President
Cleveland. and that is the closing Of the
extensive grounds in the rear Of the
mansion so that the children cannot be
approached by any one passing through
When the presidents children are at

A PREHISTORIC VILLAGE
Bscent Discoveries Aade In Caiifa ala
Grow In Interest.

Some weeks ago a local newspaper
reported interesting discoveries made
on the north slope of San Miguel noun.
tain by two mining prospectors, the
discoveries comprising a prehistoric
stone roadway, a number of mining
tools and unmistaksble traces of an an
cient mining camp. The age of the
roadway was indicated by the growth
upon it of large trees What were be-
,lieved to be the dumps of one or per.
haps two mines were also found, and
chunks of ore which carried gold and
silver were picked up there.
The prospectors, says the Globe
Democrat, have been very reserved
In speaking of their discovery.
They arrived here few daysago, how
ever, and it has leaked out that il is of
much greater interest than at first snip
posed The stone-paved road was
traced to wall of solid and well-exe-
cuted masonry. This was found TO sur
round an Enclosure now filled with
debris, but which is believed TO be an
old arastra. A portion of the floor Is
there, and fragments of a crushing
stone were found. Near this arastrs
was discovered the mouth of tunnel
filed with debris. This is now being
cleaned out. A keystone surrnounted
the arch at the entrance, and the walls
are well defined, though somewhat dis
sntegrsted. In the vicinity are also
traceable the foundations of no less
than nineteen small houses. and a fat
stone, bearing an inscription which
has not been deciphered, is thought TO
mark the location of a grave. II is he
lieved that the cleaning Of the tunnel
and the pushing of the investigation
into the mountain will lead 70 moro In
teresting discoveries than any yet
made bearing on the life of aneisnt
man in this region.

Chicago, Oct. 1s.-For the first time
since the civil war Mason and Dixon's

the railroad system of the country was
concerned. as if the imaginary line had
