st. Paurs cathedral occupies a most
commanding position. 1t stands on an
eninence to the north of the Thames,
on the same spot where stood its ma
jAstic predecessor, which was utterly
destroyed during the colossal confag-
ration which devastated London in
1666.
The foundations of the present peer

and completed in 1715, 40 years later,
the great architect, Sir Christopher
Wren, living to see the completion of
his magnificent creation.
St. Paul's is built in the purest style
of Grecian architecture. and IS con-
sidered a far handsomer edifice than
St Peters at Rome. A prominent
French critic thus expressed his cpin-
ion:
Il do not hesitate to tell you, as a
whole, which can be taken IN by the
eve at once, 1 think st. Pauls cathe-
dral must be the finest thing il the
world-perhaps the finest thing that
has ever been in the world
St Paurs is constructed in the form
of a cross, comformably to the general
practice of the Christian world, and IS
divided by two rows of pillars into a
nave and side aisles. The extreme
length is 500 feet, and through tie
transepts, 2S5 feet. The ground plot
exceeds two acres. The cemetery IS en-
closed by a superb balustrade Of ar
tistic iron work, which cost a fabulous
sum. In the west churchyard is a
statue Of good Queen Anne, during
whose reign the church was completed.
The groups on the base of the pedestal
are categorical OF her dominion over
Great Britain, Ireland, France end
America.
The western facade of St. Paurs is
considered one OF the finest specimens
of architecture in the whole world.
The elevated Dortico leading to the
grand entrance consists of twelve Co
rinthian columns, with an upper portico
of eight composite columns, supporting
a triangular pediment. On the apex of
this Dediment are statues of st. Paul.
St. Peter and ST James, each eleven
feet in height.
ON the west front of the great clock
tower and the lbelfry are superb statues
of the four evangelists, Matthew. Mark,
Luke and John, in q recumbent posture,
with their distinguishing symbols.
A senai-circular portico leads to the
great south door, or entrance. to the
transept. The entablature represents q
phoenix rising from the flames. and I'M
derneath is the word -Resurgam." A
curious anecdote is related concerning
this stone. 1t appears that when Sir
Christopher Wren had marked out the
dimensions of the great dome, and fixed
1loo,l 2 center, laborer was ordered
to bring fiat stone from the heaps of
rubbish to be laid for a direction to the
vgorkmen. Singularly enough, it hap
pened to be a piece of gravestone. with
nothing remaining of the inscription
save the single word. "Resurgam'

piers of stone work, each about forty

BROTHER ABNER.
The Presidents Relative In the Role
of LOBBYIST.

Abner Mckinley. brother of the
president, is to appear at the
capitol as soon as congress opens,
in the role of a professional lob
byist. The measure to which he will de-
vote his attention and for which, it is
reported, he will be handsomely paid
provides for a higher grade in the let
ter carriers service.
The bill was introduced in the last
house by Congressman Keifer of Min
nesota and in the senate by Senator
Mitchell OF Oregon. 1t establishes a
$1,000 grade for long and faithful serv-
ice. The plan meant the increased ex-
penditure by the government of large
amount annually, and owing to the
condition of the treasury at the time,
certain Legislators who were otherwise
in favor of the measure thought it
would be better to defer it's passage
to a time when financial conditions
would be more favorable.
The measure was handled in the last
congress with unusual skill and pressed

outside rim, or she'll of the train is to
all purposes a large wheel which re-
wolves around the center, this portion
of the train remaining stationary. The
central part of the revolving train
contains the coaches, dining cars,
sleepers, engines, ard, in fact, every
thing making up the train except the
wheels to make it go round. In the
section view shown of the train can be
seen how the passengers are disposed
Of and where the engines are located.
The engines are operated by cleo
tricity, which is generated from stOr-
age batteries. In this revolving train
there are ten separate cars for paSSen-
gers, exclusive of the compartments
for baggage and mail. These ten cars
have a carrying capacity of 500 pas
sengers, making an average of 90 peo-
pie to each car. This train is little
less than an immense circular hotel on
wheels, and it has all the conveniences
that q modern hoStelry can boast of.
In speaking of his gigantic enterprise,
Mr.. Maloney says:
MY revolving train can reach and
maintain a speed of $50 miles an hour
without the slightest trouble. l know
it sounds big to talk this way, and in
ventorS as a rule are liable to praise
their own handiwork, but l speak not
at random, out Stanu READY 70 pdch
all my statements by giving actual
tests of speed. And l am not alone in
my belief, as I have already given a
private test of my model when the
leading inventors and men of science
Of Philadelphia were present.
These all expressed the greatest
establishment at the results shown by
my revolving train, and thought my
statements regarding the train and
what it will accomplish as exceedingly
modest. 1 have been hard at work on
this idea fer nearly three years, and
it has only been Q couple of months
past that my model has given results
satisfactory to myself

in view in inventing this new mode of

RAPID TRANSIT.
A Philadelphia Suggests a Revolv-
inc Railroad Train.

Philadelphia Times: A revolving
railway that will attain a speed of $50
miles an hour is the invention of NJ. c.
Maloney of this city. His working
model has been tested, and he claims
the trial was a positive success, show
ing conclusively that the idea is per-
fectly feasible. The train resembles a
great Ferris wheel converted into an
elevated railroad. In appearance,
however, is the only way it looks like
the wheel, as it's mechanical principle
is entirely different. To go hand in
hand with all that is up-to-date in
wheels, this revolving train is built on
ball bearings. That is to say, the great

San Francisco, Nov. 22.-Henry L. Mar

in building a railroad from Dyea over
the Chilkoot pass to Crater lake, is here.
He says the first eight or nine miles of

REVOLT OF soupANEse.
Troops of Major McDonald's Expedi-
tfon Mutinfed.

Zanzibar, Feast Africa, Nov. 22.-Par-
ticulars have reached here of revolt
among the Soudanese troops in Major
HcDcnald's expedition in the lake coun-
try south of the equatorial provinces. 1t
appears that the expedition was advanc-
ing into the interior from the Uganda
country for point as to which informa-
ton is wanting. On October 10 last the
mutineers, assisted by $50 Mohammedan
tribesmen, attacked the camp at Wasoga.
In the fierce fighting that followed Lieu-
tenant Fielding, Major Thurston, Engi-
neer Scott, Civil Officer Wilton and Is
soldiers were killed.
Major McDonald's expedition left XII
kuy, east of Victoria Nyanza, toward the
end of last August. 1t then included 10
officers and about 1900 men, among whom
were so Sikhs. Major Mcdonald took
with him an immense quantity of wagons,
bullocks and camels, as well as several
Maxims. Evidently the party decided to
rely in fighting upon the Silks and Max
inns. The leader of the expedition, Major
Mcdonald, has had many years expert
ence in Uganda and has frequently aided
Captain Frederick Lugar during disturb
ances there. He left early last summer
for Kikuy. 1t was then understood he
intended to ascend the Juba river on be-
half of the British government, but it
has since been reported that his real goal
was the upper reaches of the White Nile
in the hope of forestalling French expedi-
tions which are believed to be moving in
that direction. Usaga lies between Ugan-
da and CaveriO.

MOUNT VERNON DIkEs BROKE.
Three Men spend the Night ON Large
Stumps.

Seattle, Nov. 2l.-The most serious
damage done by the recent floods SO far
reported was at Mount Vernon. The
dikes surrounding the town broke Friday
night, and within an hour the whole town
was under two feet of water Hundreds
OF men worked like trojans, but their
work was in vain, as the river continued
to rise until it reached height two feet
higher than it was four years ago when
the whole Skagit valley was inundated.
Henry Wrinkle attempted to leave his
home, but when he got to the door the
torrent OF water drove him back. He
broke the upper sash out of window
and sat straddle of the window for 10
hours in the water up to his waist. Three
other men named Foreman. Price and
johnson, who were near Wrinkle, spent
the night on large stumps, the water being
up to their knees. They nearly persisted
with the cold. There was a boat within
800 yards of them, but the current was
so swift that they dare not try to rescue
the men,

They cleared the gardens of visitors, chas-
inc them with sticks. Others went into
the Zollas market and ransacked stores
The military authorities were telephoh-
ed to and a picket of 20 men under n
white officer named Buck were sent to the
scene. The officer galloped away from
his men and, riding full speed down to
the parade gardens, a distance OF two
miles, ran his horse right into the center
of the rioters Before they could recover
from their surprise he ordered them to
fall into line and snatching the caps from

Some 80 were obedent to the word OF

of as many as he could. Marching the
