nRrcE's NEW RAILROAD SCHEME
Arrnngcs Another Route between
chicago and Cincinnati.

Chicago and Cincinnati.
CHICAGO, Nov. H,-Senator Brices
scheme to establish a new line between
Chicago and Cincinnati is likely to be
realized at an early day. George l.. Brad
bury vice president and general manager of
the Lake Erie q Western. and Fort Wayne,
Cincinnati & Louisville railroads, has opened
an Office at Chicago and will have his
principal headquarters in this city MIR.
Bradbury is the right-hand man of Senator
Brice in the management OF the roads he
controls and his removal to Chicago clearly
shows that Senator BriCes ChiCago-CinCin-
natl line Is about to be opened for business.
The obstacle in the way of establishing
the new route was the difficulty In obtaining
an outlet for Senator Brce's OHIO lines to
Chicago. A deal had been contemplated with
the Baltimore a Ohio for the use OF it's
tracks from Chicago 10 a connection with
the Cincinnati Jackson & Macknaw rail
way. but 1t appears that this idea has been
abandoned and the Wabash will be used as
an outlet from Chicago
The most profound secrecy is being
maintained as to the trafiic in which the
two steamers. which have been contracted
for by the Lower Lakes Steamship com
pany by the Chicago Shpbuilding company,
are 10 be engaged. II is the general opinion
in lower lakes ship circles that the boats
are to be the nucleus of a new line OF
steamers between Chicago and OswegO, y.
Y, where rail connection will be made to
& Western railroad. That railroad has long
been seeking an outlet to the west by way
OF its own. If this surmise is correct ii
will give Chicago another important lake and
rail connection with New York with the
opening of navigation next spring.

PENSION WORK NEARLY UP TO DATE
Total Number of Cases Has Been
StcndiIN DimlnihhinE.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE total num-
ber Of cases coming before the records of
the pension bureau of the War department
has been steadily diminishing according to
the annual report of Colonel AInsworth
chief of the bureau. On the other hand, the
percentage of cases requiring administrative
action or something more than a mere state
ment of the military history of the soldier
has largely increased, involving much more
work in their disposition large number
of inquiries are now being received from
descendants of the soldiers OF the revolu-
tion, and it is expected that these will be
supplemented by similar inquiries as to the
soldiers of the war Of 1912 as soon as the
military history OF these soldiers Is COM
plete.
The curretn business of the Office has ben
kept up to date, more than % per cent of the
cases received being disposed OF within
twenty-four hours of their receipt, and at
tho close OF the fiscal year not a single case
remained on the files waiting disposal
Colonel Ainsworth says that there are
doubtless a considerable number of persons
who are in ignorance of the old law permit
ting their regular muster as officers of the
volunteer service, as they have failed to
take advantage Of its provisions. They are
equally as deserving as the far greater num-
her to whom the law has applied, and 1t is
suggested that congress renew the now

DR. Conan Doyle has had a new play,

ably be a long time hence, as the business
of the latter drama is simply enormous
and the advance booking extends well into
1897.
The new play by Malcolm Watson which
was recently successfully produced at Brs-

YEARS ARRIVALS OF ALIENS.
Prosperous Glass of Foreigners Par
tnl.r of Nmcrlcn's nIrssIngs.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE commits
sioucr general Of immigration in his annual
report shows that during the last fiscal year
the arrivals Of immigrants in this coun-
try aggregated 343257, OF whom 3iO,3GS
were landed and $50 were debarred and de-
ported at the expense of the various steam
ship lines by which they came.
or those deportcd S6G were found to be
unlcr contract to perform labor in the
United States made prior to their arrival, and
2O33 were returned as belonging 10 other
prohibited classes In addition to the num-
bcr debarred there were 23S who became
public charges within year after their
arrival and hence were returned to the
countries whence they came The commits
sloncr general states that he knows OF no
immigrant landed In this country during
the last year who ia now burden upon any
public or private institution.
with some exceptions, The report states
tho physical characteristics Of the years inn
migration were those OF hardy, sound labor
ing class, accustomed ana apparently well
able to earn a livelihood wherever capable
and industrious labor can secure employ
ment. As to occupations. Il was composed
largely of the classes designated as skilled
and unskilled laborers with some protes-
sionals. The amount of money brought INTO
the country by the immigrants was at least
S9l7,3lS, and probably was largely in eN-
cess OF these figures.
"The statistics at hand" the commits
sloner general states do not justify the
conclusion that our alien population is grow
ing in undue proportions. \ comparison OF
the figures for the past year, 3i325I, with
the average annual immigration for the pre-
ceding fiscal year, 435,0S5, discloses a de-
crease Of 91.S1S or over 81 per cent. Such
data as have been able to obtain as to the
number of those who annually return to
their own country, though approximate
only leads me to doubt seriously that there
could be any material increase in our for
eign-born population since lS93.'
The arrivals for the fiscal years 1894 and
1895 aggregated 25S,5S6. The reports show
that OF the total number of immigrants
over Il years of age that arrived during the
year, 5,O66 could not write, and 1880 could
neither read nor write, which is 2S63 per
cent of the whole number. or those who
could neither read nor write, 3l374 came
from Italy 12,S16 from Russia proper, 12,-
15i from Hungary, 6.1O7 from Bohemia and
Moravia, 5,2S1 from other parts of Austria
Hungary, 2i73 from Ireland, 1855 from
Arabia and Syria. and 1859 from Portugal.
The report shows that of the whole num-
Der of arrivals 212, ,4G6 were males and $780,
sol females.

VENEZUELAN MINISTER GOES HOME.
senior Andrnhc VIII Urge Adoption of
iur Irnn1S Win GrrmI Eritnim.

the Treaty with Great britain.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-Senor Andrade,
minister to the United States from Veno-
zuela. has gone home. He has taken with
him a copy of the treaty between Venezuela
and Great Britain for the arbitration of
the boundary dispute, together with a copy
Of the agreements signed by Secretary Olney
and Sir Julian PauncefOte, which was pre-
limnary to the treaty between the coun-
tries equally in interest. Senor Andrade
will urge his government to accept the
treaty at once. He will carry n letter from
Secretary Olney which will show the posi-
tion OF this country and will point out to
the Venezuelan government the advantage
Of accepting the treaty and adjusting the
boundary of the lines secured by the in
tervention of the United States. Senior
Andrade left Washington confident there
would be no hesitation on the part of Vene.
zuela but he was so anxious that the matter
should be speedily disposed of that he de-
cided to 20 in person to Caracas instead Of
making his representations by letter. The
treaty will have to be approved not only
by President Crespo but Dy the house OF
representatives OF Venezuela. Minister
Andrade had no doubt of speedy action on
the part Of the Venezuelan legislature and
especially when 1t was found that a treaty
so favorable to that country had been made
and that it's adoption was strongly urged
by the United States. The treaty is in
blank as to signatures but no doubt 1t will
be signed by Sir Julian Pauncefote on the
part of Great Britain and by Senior Andrade
on the part of Venezuela. as 1t is known
to be the intention of all those taking part
in the negotiations to have 1t concluded
in Washington as was the agreement be-
tween Great Britain and the United States
which brought about the treaty.

order EstnbIiShIng the Service at
TccumsCh IL Scnt out,


WASHINGTON, Nov. 1i.--lSpccal Tcle-
gram) Rural free delivery service is to be
established in Nebraska. BY order OF the
first assistant postmaster general, made to-
day Tccumsch. johnson county. has been
chosen as the initial station in which to at
tempt this departure on behalf Of the Post
Office department The distance covered is
not exceedingly large, hut will show, 10 rs
believed 10y The postal authorities, sufficient
merit 20 extend the service. 1t has been the
ambition Of First Assistant Postmaster Cen
cral Jones to accomplish In the United States
a service some what similar to that now OBJ
tanning in England. He desires before leay-
ing his position TO have the rural service
thoroughly well established and accordingly
he has taken from three to i've plac,# to
develop his idea Of serving farmers from a
central station.
Action relative to the Trausmsslssippi EN-
position and the proclamation Of the prest-
dent as TO the establishment of the same is
a subject of considerable comment by Rep
ressutativo Mercer who said today that he
would not 20 homo until the Christmas hol-
i1ay. believing that he could do more good
for the TranSmississippi Exposition here
than at Omaha. Thus far the Treasury de-
partmout has not been acquainted with the
stock subscriptions and donations to the
exposition, and In order that the appropria-
tiOn Of 5000 600 shall be obtained IL will be
necessary for the management to so satisfy
the Treasury department that the donations
and subscriptions are bona NdC. An effort
will be made, 1t is understood, TO increase
tho amount TO a figure commensurate with
the magnitude Of the exposition, but in order
to do this some action must be taken before
congress Convenos to satisfy the authorities
that the intent OF the bill approprating
S2O0 600 for the exposition has been realized.
Congressman Mercer is now laboring with
the Treasury department officials as to the
work of organizing the exposition and hopes
within a very short time to outline to the
local management that which is absolutely
essential to the success of the same.

CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-THE roads OF the
Western Passenger association have for
some time been considering the advisability
of placing in the market a 5,00O-mile inter
changesble ticket, and at the last meeting
Of the association the matter was discussed
in a very thorough manner. The majority
of the objections that were urged against the
ticket, it was suggested was that the sale
of the tickets be placed entirely in the hands
of the chairman of the association, each
road to be paid for whatever portions of the
ticket it might turn in After a lcng dis
cussion it was decided that it would be the
better policy to defer action until the meet
ing of the eastern lines, which has been
called for this city on Thursday of next
week for the purpose of cons nsdering the in
Interchangeable ticket plan suggested by Gen
Cral Passenger Agent Ford of the Pcnnsy-
vana lines. If no action is taken by the
eastern lines, the western roads will take

Deny Some RumOTS.

WASHINGTON, Nov, 14.-As to the foun-

put in circulation recently OF trouble with
SPAIN growing out OF Cuban complications,
Secretary Lamont said today:
THE stories about a movement of troops
in the south are untrue, and the assumption
that the work on the coast defenses has any
significance, or that it is being expedited
in any section or for any unusual purpose
has no foundation. This work has made
most excellent progress during the past
year and | am making an effort to show
some return in completed defenses for the
large amount of money which has been
appropriated for this object"
