A SAD TANGLE.
Western Roads Mixed Up Over Rates
to Frisco.

w Il2GOs
Chicago, Aug. 3o.-The western roads
have got into a sad tangle over rates
from this city to San Francisco on ac-
count of the letter carriers conven
ton which was to have been held there

cut the round trip rate to $3.50 and
today the Rock Island announced that
it would put in a round trip rate of
$62 so
The letter carriers are also in fight
over the location of their gathering
The excursion committee insists that
the convention shall be held at San
Francisco. as originally planned. while
the president of the association says it
shall convene at Chicago. Late today
the postmaster general Telegram hed
superintendent Of Railway Service
Troy that the convention must be held
in this city. The Rock Island says
that it reduced its rate at the SUCCESS
ton of the Southern Pacific, but that
it viii cancel the same if the conven-
ton n SIS Mace in Chicago.
The railroads and elevators in
and around this city are being
literally swamped with the I'M
precsdented amount Of grain from
she west The railroads not only
have every boxcar in service but are
boarding up stock cars and rigging up
other equipment in vain efforts to ham
die the traffic The st. Paul, Burling-
ton and Rock Island we're blocked with
grain trains for miles out of the city
yesterday, and every side-tra in the
country is being used for storage
tracks.
Today 6,O55 cars of grain were offered
for sale on the board of trade. This
means two days receipts. The receipts
of corn for the same period We're 1885.
The bulk of the stuff is being contract
ed to go east via water. The demand
for vessel room is so great that the
lake rate from Chicago to Buffalo has
advanced 100 per cent. or 2 cents per
bushel and beats cannot now be secured
at tbic rate

The Worlds Newspapers

A German statistician has recently
compiled figures as to the total mum.
Der of newspapers printed during a
year which he estimates at 100000,
600 copies.
To gather an adequate idea Of this
enormous quantity, it might be stated
that all these papers spread out would
more than cover all the continents and
islands of the earth.
The weight Of the paper would
amount to 781,240 tons.
If this entire edition were to be
printed by one single press, the largest
and most rapid one now in use, the
total edition would take 333 years TO
print.
Stacked up vertically this quantity
you'd form a column of 100000 feet in
height.
Suppose that every reader devotes
but five minutes per day to the reading
of his paper, the time used by the total
population of the earth would amount
to 100,0GD years.-@Philadelphia Record.

Some interesting phenomena have
been noted at the high fall water power
plant at Fresno, California, where the
Pelton wheels are operated under fall
of AL feet and an enormous pressure
and jet velocity are developed. A sud-
den stoppage Of the water flow will
raise tbs hand of the pressure guageto
the astounding height of 1000 pounds
per square inch, the pressure returning
eventually to nearly a corresponding
distance below the normal, accompa-
MED for over thirty seconds by a sharp
reverberation. The great pipe writhes
like a huge serpent, and the commo-
ton in its interior sounds like the fir
ing of distant canon. The only safe.
guards in such sudden changes Of flow
are the great strength and elasticity of
the steel. The water is applied to the
wheels by DETECTING nozzles. The ter
fife force that this stream of water is
capable of is almost incredible. twill
bore a hole through 3-inch plank in
few minutes; it will tear hole
through a three-eighth inch piece of
steel in few days; concrete melts be-
fore it like sugar. The only successful
node yet known of safely stopping the
motion of the water from the nozzle is
to put heavy casting plate in the tail
face in such manner that it can be
quickly replaced when worn out

The republicans IN the lower house

high hand. They shut off debate and
passed appropriation bills which we're

their intention to rush the new tariff
bill through without giving the oppo.
sition an opportunity to thoroughly
analyze and point out its defects. This
party is pursuing exactly the same tao
