unequaled record, the report says, will
be more forcibly illustrated If considered
in the light of what has been accom-
plished heretofore, in the way of divi-
dend payments to the creditors OF In

dends that have ever been paid to cred
itors of insolvent national banks. From
1863 to 1897 there has been paid in divi-
dends $75,9S5, 1925, and in the year en-
braced in this report 13,169,781, or II 1-3
per cent of all the dividends that have
been paid during the period of "a years
of the existence of the system. Since
October 81, the end of the report year,
II additional dividends have been or
dered, amounting to about $625.000.
The report contains the latest conf

A very interesting feature of this
statement is the per capita amount OF

Slow Mails From the East Snaked

Associated Press Special Wire.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 5.-Celebrating
its new birth, the new Union Pacific has
taken two more falls out of Father
Time and has set pace for fast run
ming that is likely to stand in the west
for some time. Three record
spurts in one week is its record. OF the
first the Associated Press furnished full
particulars last Tuesday. At that time
a 52O-mile run was made at the rate of
621s miles an hour, with hundred
mile dash at the rate of 6S.2 miles an
hour. Yesterday the fast mail was
again late in Wyoming, and was danced
across the Nebraska plains at a rate
that makes the Tuesday run look SLOW
1t covered AZ miles, from Sydney to
Julesburg, in 3S minutes; 81 miles, from
Julesburg to North Platte, in II min
utes; 60 miles, North Platte to Lex
ington, in 60 minutes; 35 miles, Lexing-
ton to Kearney, in 33 minutes, and final
dash of AZ miles from Kearney to Grand
Island in 36 minutes, or 10 miles an hour.
The 261 miles from Sydney to Grand
Island were made in 23S minutes, an
average of 65.6 miles an hour. From
Grand Island to Omaha the run was
ordinary, the lost time having been
made up. Today the Union Pacific
brought a theatrical company on spe-
cal train from Julesburg to Council
Bluffs, 294 miles, in 2S6 minutes. From
this must be deducted five minutes for
changing engines at Grand Island, four
minutes delay by a Missouri Pacific
train on the crossing at Petrol, and nee
essary slowing up through Omaha and
a slow run over the Missouri river
bridge. The actual running time of
the train was 275 minutes, an average
of 636 miles an hour.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.-surgeon-
General Wyman Of the marine hospital
service has submitted his annual report
to Secretary Gage. 1t shows that dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 80, 1897,
the total number OF patients treated ut
the hospitals and the dispensaries con-
nectcd with the service was 54,777. AL
though the total number Of patients
treated was 674 In excess Of those treated
during the previous fiscal year. the ex-
penditures were s5SS. 1855. which Is $21, 200
less than for the previous year. The
number of migrants inspected by off,
GERS Of the service at the various ports
aggregated 2S2,147.
The appearance Of cholera in Japan
and China. says the surgeon general, Is
now a matter Of greater moment to the
United States than at any previous time.
owing to the rapid growth of commerce
between these countries and the Pacific
coast. Smallpox 10 reported as having
appeared in sixteen states between Mo-
vember l. 1896. and November /, 1897. In
the year previous 1t appeared in twenty
two states.
The prevalence Of the bubonic plague
In the eastern hemisphere has offered q
new problem for the consideration Of
the health authorities Of the United
States. The disease Is reported as In.
creasing at present in Northern India.
It has also appeared In certain portions
of China and Japan.
The report Of the International leprosy
conference held in Berlin in October
gives somewhat imperfect statement
Of the number of cases Of leprosy in the
different countries in the world, there
being approximately 10000 in India,
10000 in Japan. $500 In Hawaii. 1900 In
Russia, 700 in Calcutta, and $50 In the
United States.
Yellow fever has been unusually prev
alent throughout Cuba during the past
year. In the port of Havana alone, from
November /. 1896, to November l, 1897,
there were 1905 deaths. The disease has
also prevailed extensively throughout
the West Indies. The total number Of
cases Of yellow fever reported to the
bureau up to November 20 was 419S, and
the number of deaths 423. OF these there
were 1922 cases and 244 deaths in New
Orleans.
The national station was removed from
Chandler to Ship island in 1894. after the
destruction of the Chandler station by q
storm which swept the hospital out to
sea and drowned five people. Its trans
fer Is legalized by the appropriation act
Of 1895.
The surgeon general again refers to
the necessity of more strict national
quarantine law, which he has made the
subject of a special repOrt in the Da At
two years. and he makes recommenda-
tions looking to the Strengthening Of
the law. both to prevent the spread Of
disease and interference with interstate
commerce during the times Of epidemics.
