specific poison which differs from the poison

mcroscopcal research has as yet failed
to discover what the poison is. There are
three leading opinions in regard to the
contagious character of yellow fever First
That it IS contagious like smallpox and
scarlatina. SecOnd-That it is nOn-contag-
ious and never directly transmitted from
the sick to the healthy Third-That when
yellow fever is prevailing in a locality 1t
may he carried from one person to another
in that locality. one Who has seen the fe-

that It is not directly contagious. What
ever view is taken of the contagious char
acter OF yellow fever, all agree that it is
portable: that it can lie conveyed from one
place to another, by clothing, merchandise
aud ships. Ordinarily there is little dau-
ger In visiting those sick with yellow fever
if there is free ventilation and one does
not remain in the infected locality for a
long lime The only absolute protection
from this disease is quarantine excepting
the patient away from all other people,.

The Government and the Union Pacific
Briefly stated the relations between the
government and the Union Pacific are
these:
Thrty-thrce years ago the United States
subsidized the Union Pacific railroad com
paHy for line from Omaha to Ogden,
distance Of 1893 miles. 1t gave to the COM
pGny II 100000 acres Of the pubic domain.
on which the company has already realized
oVor $4,000 coo. It, gave to the company $53,-
100000 in bonds and paid interest on these
bonds for thirty years with the under
standing that when the bonds matured the
company would reimburse the government
for its advance.
The principle of that bonded debt to the
United States. after OeduCting for govern
ment transportation and other payments,
made during the interval now reaches $i0,-
III Jos and the government holds in the
SINKING fund $l7,oG200o. leaving the net
debt Of the Union Pacific to the government
$J5,U5,40S
1t has been alleged in the public prints
and is generally believed that ut the time
when these loans were made by the gov
ernmCnt in 1864, the men vino then con-
trolIcd the property paid over half million
dollars to secure the friendly aid of con-

though the government officials decline
either 10 affirm or deny the report of its
acceptance of the new proposition OF the
reorganization committee Of the Union
Pacific railroad, there is no reasonable
doub; of its accuracy. This proposition
IS understood to be an increase of the
original guarantee bid Of $5o0o0,9Oo, equal
ing the full amount of the governments
claim against the Union Pacific road prop
er, which on October LIST aggregated $5S,

The sale Of this line will be proceeded
with as originally intended next Monday
at Omaha.
As to the Kansas Pacific road. the com
mittee wiJhdraWs its guarantee. and con
sents to a postponement Of Tho sale to any
date to suit the convenience Of the govern
ment. This action. it is understood, leaves
the government II the same position with
Respect to the Kansas Pacific before the
negotiations were Instituted, and in this
situation the government may, if 1t so de
sirCS, postpone the sale indefinitely. The
debt of the Kansas Pacific to the govern
ment aggregates nearly $l3mo,00

interest In IT, OF course tho great writer's
of sea stories have done their share TO
make tho spot famous, but there seems
TO DO some reason deoper than all this.
Why would it not be an easy matter to
make a picture of Caps Hornf There are
dozen reasons outside OF the photo
graphic ones. and they alone are enough
20 deter the camera operator from at
tempting it.
In the first place. it is not always pos
sibe TO SEQ Cape Horn even though the
ship is only few miles away. Storms
nearly always prevail at that end or the
world, and tho atmosphere is likely To bs
haZy. When the water Is comparatively
calm there is likely TO bo fog. During
the seasons OF the heavy. dry winds and
clear weather no snip would dare venture
within sight or the Horn. AT other times
the light Ia likely TO be poor and so make
picture impossible. And then, when
all conditions are favorable. the chances
arc there Will te no camera aboard the
ship that happens to 10 there at the op-
perfume time.
Photogaphicaily, the principal difficulty
would be lack OF light anu contrast.

THREE MEN KILLED.
Fatal Explosion of Gas In Wilkes
barre Coal Mine.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. Oct. GA heavy
explosion of gas occurred in No. 2 slope
of the Parish Coal Company at Ply
mouth yesterday. by which three men
lost their lives The mans OF the victims
are:
Isaac Edmund. miner, aged 90, widower.
George Eddy, driver, aged ~, single.
Louis Richards, driver boss. aged 81,
married.
The force of tho explosion was plainly
felt on the surface. and IA rescuing party
was at once sent into the mlne. Inc
place where tho men were at work was
reached last night and their bodies taken
out.
The cause of the accident is yet a
mystery. One theory Is shat the men
came unexpectedly upon n pocket OF gas
and set IL on fire with their lamps
Another Is that somebody carleessly lett
q dour open. which sent the gas In large
volumes into the places were the men
were Mt work.
About 40 mon were at work in the
lower lifts of the mine when the expios-
icn occurred. They oil reached the sur
