HIS GREAT RECORD
Conductor Sherwood of the Northern
Pacific Has Travelled $4,000
Miles.

New York Sun: There is a
dining car conductor on the North
era Pacific road, running out of
Minneapolis every week or two for the
coast, who keeps a chalk mark record
of his trips from the Atlantic to the
Pacific just as the Arizona Kid used
to keep tally of the men he had killed
by cutting a notch on his gun butt
There are 525 chalk marks down now
and 12S little circles, representing the
equivalent of journeys around the
globe.
The conductor is w. s. Sherwood,
and he has had % years continuous
service. For ten years he was running
for the Pullmans from New York TO
Chicago and from Chicago TO ST. Paul
He made these trips $40 times. Then
as soon as the Northern Pacific was
completed from the Mississippi to the
western ocean in 1888, he started in it's
dining car service, and he has gone
from here to Tacoma more than 500
times. In all, in this % years of serv-
ice, he has run 9,212,000 miles, or 12S
times around the world, and he thinks
he carries the record as a traveller.
He has never been hurt in a wreck-in
fact, has never been in but one, and
that was a mere bluff at a wreck. He
is the only man yet on the road who
has been with it since it was first put
through to the coast.
He had charge of the famous Henry
Willard party that went through on the
Northern Pacific in triumphal process
sion, the party that left St.ePaul under
arches of roses after unlimited cham
payne and came back a week later,
Wizards power gone, with beer the only
drink, and abuse in the place of arches.
Nearly all the oriental magnates who
have crossed on the road Sherwood
has dined and Wined. He had Kipling
under his charge in 1890, when that
writer, then unknown to fame. took the
passage from west to east on the long
journey from India to Egypt, and that
he has never retraced. He took Rufus
Hatch and a party of 10 New York
brokers on their famous free excursion
from Chicago to the Yellowstone in
1888, when it is of record that more
wine was consumed than during any
transcontinental trip before or since.
Possible investors in western railroad
stocks and bonds, mines, towns, syndi-
Gates, etc, for whom it was desired to
make a most favorable introduction
into the promised land, have been
piloted westward and back by Sher-
wood, and many times.
Mr.. Sherwood expects to pass IS or
20 more years in transcontinental serv-
ice, and he has an ambition to cover
100000 miles before he starts out to
see the rest of the world on his own
account

FOR RAILROAD RELICS.
Some of the Memories of the Old
Days Which Would Be Preserved.

Chicago Times-Herald: Among rail-
road men the idea of establishing a
museum for the preservation of rail-
road relics finds a great deal of favor
In the older railroad offices the clerks,
in searching through the records, fire.
quentiy come upon something or other
worthy of preservation in a public
place, sometimes curious and amusing,
viewed in the light of later days
In the early days of railroading it
was the custom TO have one train each
way a day over a road. Train dis
patching was then an unnecessary
business. If the trainmen kept their
eyes open, they could easily keep track
of the 'other fellow as the other train
used to be called. When they met, the
one that had last passed a siding
would back up to it and leave the main
track clear for the other. On the old
Wisconsin & Pokomoke railroad Su-
perintendent r. J. Henry thought it
would be a good thing TO Institute the
custom of giving train orders even
though there were only two trains a
day over the road. His first order read
something like this:
Charley Marshall (whO was a con-
Mullen (the other conductor), and if
Charley is farther away from the sta
ton than McMullen, then McMullen
viii back to the siding and let Charley
go by. If McMullen is farther away,
Charley will back back and let Nc
Mullen go by.

AMERICANS AT JERUSALEM.
Of the $50 Registered Citizens 43s
Are Lews-The Snoffordite Colony.

Consul Wallace at Jerusalem reports
to the state department that accord
ing to the consular records of his office
II appears that there are $50 citizens
of the United States residing in Pales-
tine. OF this plumber 43S are Jews, who
are only nominally Americans, having
lived in the United States just long
enough to obtain citizen papers and
passports. The majority of these emil
grated from Russia to the United
States and thence to Palestine.
OF the other 80 American citizens
nearly all went there because of pecu-
liar religious views, and among them
NAV be found all possible shades of
Christian beliefs The one idea which
seems to possess all to a greater or
less degree is that of the second advent
of our Lord. This is by all considered
to be an event soon to take place in
Jerusalem. Some of them, during the
period of waiting, are suffering for the
endure privation in the hope of being
present and witnessing the Lord S
coming.
The Spoffordite company. or Over
comers,'' as they call themselves, have
recently been increased by an addition
of III Swedish-Americans, mostly from
Chicago Just how many of these are
citizens of the United States the con-
sulate is not Informed, because of their
refusal to register. The leader Mr.
Spofford, lays claim to prophetic pow
ers. and. claiming to be under the di-
rect protection of the Almighty, is
averse to having any human power in
terfere. AS they are a peaceable and
law abiding community. or have been
for some years, the consulate has not
been called upon in this regard.

POLITICAL CRISIS.
Belief That One is Impending In
Spain.

New York, Jan. PA dispatch to the
Sun from Havana says: a great SEN
sation was created Wednesday by a
cable dispatch from Madrid announc-
ing that Senior Sagas the leader of the
Liberal party in Spain, has declared.
in an interview, that it is possible he
will soon be called by the queen-regeDt
to form new government. Every one
in Havana understands from this news
that a political crisis is impending in
Spain, which means the recall of Cap
tain General Weyler and a milder pol
icy on the part of Spain in Cuban af-
fairs.
While these topics of Spanish politics
are absorbing much of the attention of
the Spanish in Havana, the insurgents
outside the capital are Waging fierce
war, regardless of Canovas, Sagas or
any form of home rule.
Jiguani, an important town, is now
besieged by the insurgents. The last
reports read that the garrison was
fighting desperately in the hope that
Spanish reinfOrcements would reach
them. The attempt TO reduce Jiguani,
however, has been a great failure and
has resulted in another important Gu
ban victory. General Bosch with a
column of more than 1000 men,
marched to Jiguani to raise the siege.
CallXto Garcia IN person met him on
the road at the head of 1000 Cubans.
The enga cement was hot and lasted a
whole day, both sides using their ar
tillery. Bosch could not advance. and
after eight hours of continuous fight
ing he was obliged to retire. Then the
Cuban cavalry attacked the retreating
force and the right flank of the Span
iSh troops was thrown into the utmost
disorder When night came Bosch sue
ceeded in escaping to Santa 90 de
Cuba, where his troops arrived in a
state of utter panic ard exhaustion.
This is the most important battle
that has occurred since the death of
Maceo, not even excepting Jabugnito,
which was a brilliant triumph for
Garcia.
In the province of Havana sad de-
tails are reported of the crimes and
devastation of the column of the Span
ish, under Colonel Rotger, who is emu
lating the murderous reputation so well
earned by Melguizo and Fondievila
Colonel Rotger burned the plantations
of Mederos and Castaneda and killed
a great many pacificos there. March
ing to Guira de Melina, after these
barbarous acts, he met an insurgent
band. and was so badly defeated by the
Cubans that he hurried into the town
to get under the protection of the
fort

EXPEDITION LANDS.
FILIBUSTERS ONCE MORE sue
CESSFUL.
A Crisis Said to Be Imminent in
Spain-New Government May Be
Formed Very Soon.

New York. Jan. PA Herald special
from Tampa, Fla. says:
News reached here by the steamer
which arrived yesterday from Havana
stating that official advices received by
cable from Santiago de Cuba at the
palace in Havana report the landing
of a good-sized expedition on the
southern coast of Santiago de Cuba
province on Sunday night. The palace
authorities will neither admit nor deny
the truth of the report. 1t is limited
by those who are in close contact with
the officials that the expedition prob
ably started from Jamaica and landed
east of Santiago de Cuba where, it is
believed, the rebel forces under Gen
eral Calixto Garcia went to take charge
OF the war material. The name of the
filibuStering steamer is not known here.
Another expedition, said to be of
greater Importance, is reported to have
landed several days ago at a place on
the southern coast of Pinar del Rio
province. This one, it is thought, must
have been landed from the United
States, judging from the American
labels upon the empty packages found
strewn on the beach. The ammuni-
ton, to all appearances, was carried
off by the Cuban forces of General
Rus Rivera, which have had undis-
puted control of that part of the coast
for two weeks.

FIGHT FOR A BIG CAVE.
Secretary of the Interior to Decide a
South Dakota Case.

Chicago Times Herald. Litigation
which has been in progress for more
than a year for possession of the IA
NOUS Wind cave has now reached an
interesting stage. Mcdonald, the man
who located the cave before it was
surveyed and held it as a squst+er,
made final proof in June, 1895, claiming
the land as agricultural land. few
months later the South Dakota Mining
company filed a protest in which il
was alleged that minerals existed on
the property.
The register and receiver of the Unit
ed States land Office at Rapid City in
Vestigated the matter and decided in
favor of Mcdonald, as the investigation
showed there was no mineral-bearing
rock to be found in the place although
r,alors of placer gold as well as other
mineral traces were discovered. The
rase was then carried to the commits
Eioner of the general land office. He
decided that the land was neither ag-
ricultural nor mineral and held for can
relation McDonalds application for a
patent
Both parties are naturally dissatis-
hed with this sort of decision, and
both have now appealed the case TO the
