Chicago Is Now Working for a Trans

Chicago, July 27.-The publication
Of the negotiations between President
Hill. of the Great Northern, and Mr..
Masujima, of Toxic, for a steamship
line between Puget sound and Japan
has developed the fact that Chicago
men already have practically completed
arrangements for such line of steam
ers, which it is expected, will give
them almost complete control of the
business between the United States and
the Orient.
In the venture of the Chicago msn,
it is understood the Atchison. Topeka
g. Santa Fe railroad has an interest and
the company is ready, If necessary. &c
break it's alliance with the Southern
Pacific and the Huntington interests
in order to carry out the new scheme.
The value of the trade with the Orient
is appreciated fully by ali the trans
portation and commercial interests of
the country, and there is no fear that
there will not be traffic enough to make
the new line profitable. San Diego is
the present terminus of the Santa Fe
road. and If it could carry freight tc
the docks of a trans Pacific steamship
company there its tonnage would bt
vastly increased.

Unusual Activity in the Navy De.
psrtment.
Washington, July 24.-The purpose
of the administration to be prepared for
war trouble, if it comes, is indicated by
the orders which have been issue by
the navy department, directing all
officers on waiting orders to report at
once for duty, and at the same time re.
voking all leaves of absence.
This is an unusual proceeding, and
would not ordinarily be regarded as
necessary. except in case of positive war.
Such action is supposed to indicate tina.
every available ship will at once be
placed in commission and given full
complement of officers and men.
Several officers will also probably bt
utilized in duty in the various gun and
ammunition works to hasten compile.
ton and shipment Of naval stores and
munitions of war. Work of this char.
aoter will be materially expedited by
reason of the fact that the appropria.
tions for the present fiscal year have all
become available for expenditures.
The process of enlistment will be
FASTENED, so that the 900 men author.
lied by the last naval bill may have
the benefit of the midsummer evolu
tions. Without them it would practic
ally be an impossibility to properly
man the three or four ships now out O
commission.
There has for some time been a de
sire on the part of the naval authoritie
to make the evolutions of the variou
fleets this year more exhaustive ant
thorough than any of their predeces
sors. For this reason extensive pre-
parations have been in progress, but
had not been determined to put all tn
ships into commission or to call il
those officers who were absent on leav,
or waiting orders, but Rear-Admiral
Bunoe, commanding the North Allan
tic squadron, gave the enthusiasm
new impetus in report which ha
just reached the department. to tn,
effect that his squadron will begin it
summer maneuvers about the first o
next month and continue them 81,

Tnnte end sn,c,1.

Psychologists have long known that
many sensa lions ordinarily ascribed
to taste are in reality due to smell,
but this fact has lately been made
clearer than before by the investiga-
tions of German savants. Air enters
the olfa tory chamber, where the
nerves connected with the sense of
smell are centered, both through the
nostrils and through an inlet leading
from the mouth. In consequence, a
breath of perfumed air manifests its
odor not only when it is breathed In,
but when it is breathed out. For this
reason we are sometimes deceived as
to the source of the pleasure we derive
from things taken into the mouth, the
agreeableness of the impression being
due, In some cases, rather to smell than
to taste.
