Russia and China.

The treaty between Russia and China,
about which there were various ru-
mors and denials six months ago, has
been published, and shows Russia to
have olA.ined very valuable conces-
sions in return for her friendly Of
fees. She. is to be allowed to extend
her great Siberian railroad through
Manchuria to Kirin; to connect Vladi-
vostok with Port Arthur; to maintain
as many troops in Manchuria as she
may find necessary to protect her sta
lions; and to fortify Port Arthur and
use 1t in case of war az base Of opera
tions. Moreover. Russian officers are
to reorganize the Chinese army. These
concession, elastically interpreted, will
give Russia virtual coatrol Of Man
churia and the Liau-Tong peninsula
and will enormously enhance her pow
err and prestige in Asia.

the return Deing made tail first. the
process OF drawing water in aiding the
return.
The presence of a sea anemone on
the back of crab might be consid-
cred an accidental occurrence but
there is every reason to believe that
there is bond of friendship between
certain individuals. A distinguished
German naturalist found in his explo'
rations large crab, which bore upon
one of it's claws, just at the JOINT
sea anemone the mouth OF the latter
being so situated that it fell just be-
meath the mouth of the crab when the
latter was eating.
TO prove whether the crab had any
affection for It's companion. the natu-
ralists took the crab and placed 1t In
a tank, forcibly taking the anemone
from the claw and dropping 1t IN the
water. He supposed that the crab
would be relieved, but on the con-
trary it seemed to be disturbed and
! hunted around until 1t found the
anemone. when it replaced 1t on the
same spot. The naturalist then cuI
the anemone into several pieces and
scattered them about the tank, return
ing after awhile to find that the crat
had collected every available piece ant
was evidently guarding them.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

Because they know the country bet

all It's sections and are among the
classes who maintain 1t and make it
possible for the rest of us to live with

otherwise. Now. there's one who went
out of the Office just as the gentleman
from New York came in. That man

THE RECORD BROKEN.
c., B. g. @. ACCOMPLISHES A
GREAT FEAT.
Special Train of the Burlington Route
Runs from Chicago to Denver, l,O26
Miles. at All Average speed of Nearly
58 Miles an Hour.

The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad has just accomplished the
greatest feat the world has ever known
for long distance fast running.
1t was made in a race against death
to carry Henry ]. Mayham Of New
York to the bedside of his dying son in
Denver.
The distance from Chicago to Den
YER 1925 miles. was covered in ex-
actly 1869 minutes actual running
time. This is only a small fraction
less than one mile minute for the
longest continuous run ever made by
any railroad in the world.
1t was run made in the ordinary
course of business. No special prepa-
ration whatever had been contem-
| plated for the trip. In exactly forty
| four minutes from the time the order
for the train was received the throttle
of the engine was pulled open and tho
train glided out Of the Union Depot on
! race which surprised railroad men
| the world over.
The engine which took the train on
| the first run out of Chicago to Gales
burg had just come in from Aurora
pulling a regular passenger train. NO
time was spent in cleaning up, but II
was quickly turned around, attached 10
the special train and manned by the
same engineer who had brought 1t to
Chicago. Not more than a half dozen
officials or employees of the road knew
the trip was to be made. This fact Is
the most important in the history OF
the great feat, as 1t demonstrates the
superb physical condition of the ROAD
and the perfect management which en-
ables such remarkable time to be
maintained for more than thousand
miles.
The time made by the record-break-
ing train is as follows, including al
| stops:
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1897-04-09

Average time, including stops, 54.3
miles per hoxf.
Average ti1ae, excluding stops, s'.of
miles per hour.
The first stop made by the train after
leaving Chicago was at Sixteenth street
for supplies, where four minutes were
consumed. At Aurora the travelling en-
gineer took one minute to look the en-
CINE over and the train ran without
stop until Mendoza was reached. when
three minutes more were consumed TOT
the same purpose A total Of twenty
one stops was made between Chicago
and Denver, consuming in all sixty
four minutes. The longest stop was
made at Red Oak, Ia, where engines
were changed on account Of not
truck. At this point the fastest run
NJ the trim was made. Soon after leav-
ing Creston it was discovered that
box on one of the engine trucks was
heating. but in spite of this fact the
run of thirty-six miles was MADE IN
thirty-four minutes. At Vitlisca a
fresh engine was substituted and the
run to Red Oak. fifteen miles, was
made IN as many Mluu'SS'
Over long stretches Of road between
McCook and Denver the train made
more than mile a minute for dis
tances OF forty to sixty miles. Six en-
etneers took the train from Chicago to
Denver. making an average Of M
miles 70 each run.
Mr.. Mayham left New York Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock on Pennsylvan's
Limited in response to repeated mes
.ases that his son, William b. May
ham. was lying at the point OF deati
