AItgeld Is for George.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-Ex-Governor Altgeld
said to-day regarding Mayor Harrison's
proposed visit to New York and the report
that it would split the Democracy: THAT
idea is too absurd to be discussed"
What do you think of Mayor Harrison's
going?" was asked.
"Oh, that is his own affair. The people
who are supporting Henry George are
Democrats and they stand on the Demo-
cratic platform in the present campaign,
while Tammany does not. In Chicago, Mr.
George has almost as large following in
proportion to population, as he has In New
York. Last spring they united with the
active silver people and made the nomina-
ton of Mr. Harrison for mayor of Chicago
a possibility, and if he now wishes to slap
the people who made his nomination pos
sibility why, that is his own affair From
all the information / can get am satisfied
that the Henry George vote is going to as
ton.sh the politicians 1t looks to me as
though he was bound to get twice as many
votes as he got before, ana IL ne uoes II
will elect him"

who has served fourteen years of a life
sentence for a murder which it has devel-

REORGANIZATION Committee Submits q
Proposition TO Pay Full Amount
of Uncle SANS Claim.
ROAD WILL BE SOLD NOV. /
THE MOTION FOR A POsTPONEMENT
HAVING BEEN DISMISSED.
Sale of the Kansas Pacific to he De-
Iayed-An English Syndicate-Land
Commissioners Report

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Although the
government officials decline either to affirm
or deny the report of its acceptance of the
rev proposition of the reorganization COM
mittee of the Union Pacific Railroad, there
is no reasonable doubt of it's accuracy. This
proposition is understood TO be an increase
of the original guarantee bid of $50, 900 000
to sum sufficient to cover the full
amount of the governments claim against
the Union Pacific road proper, which. on
Oct. 1, aggregated $685., 1893. This in
cludes the principal of the debt, which
amounts to S27, ,2365lS, and the balance OF
the interest paid by the United States
amounting to $50 0S3O,SS6 This represents
the full amount of the Union Pacifcs OBJ
legations to the government. The sale of this
line will be proceeded with as originally
intended, about Nov. l. AS to the Kansas
Pacific road, the committee withdraws it's
guarantee and consents to postponement
of the sale to any date to suit the con-
venience of the government This action.
1t is understood, leaves the government in
the same position with respect to the Kan
sas Pacific as before the negotiations were
instituted, and in this situation the gov
ernment may. If it so desires, postpone the
sale indefinitely. The debt of the Kansas
Pacific TO the government aggregates near
ly $13. 10000, of which amount Sc, ,303.000 is
principal and the remainder unpaid inter-
est. Whether the government will ask the
court to order a sale of the Kansas Pacific
on Dec. is cannot be stated, but should it
so decide it is understood that no objection
will be raised by the reorganization COM
mittee. The net result of the new arrange
nent, so far as concerns the Union Pacific,
is regarded by the officials as highly adj
vantageous TO the government, as it se-
cures all that it has ever claimed TO be due
it, and renders it practically certain that
a very large share of the debt of the Kas-
sas Pacific will be realized whenever it
may desire to consent to it's sale.

the a%eronaut. Immediately under the
balloon was fastened ~diagonally a piece
of bamboo to which were attached sails
like wings, which the aeronauts hoped
to be able to manipulate from the car
by means of ropes. Shortly before $3.50

Then the trio, Andree, Strindberg
and Fraenkel, standing in the car, sew
cred the ropes holding the balloon,
while Andree counted: "One, two,
three" The balloon rose majestically.
All three waved their caps and shouted:
"Greetings to all at home in Sweden"
After the narrow escape from being
driven against the rock in Sweringberg
sound, the balloon was seen moving
northward, exactly as Andree wished,
over the fiat peninsula of Hollaender-
macs. 1t will probably be driven toward
Greenland or the north coast of Amer
lea.

A F~ISH-SHAPED 0 A
Graft Which Is Expected to Sal
Fifty Miles an Hour.
Not an Angle in Her Exterior Linea
The inventor Pins Faith in q
New Propeller He Has
Perfected.

A craft which her designer confident
ly believes will skim the sea at a speed
Of SO miles an hour, has just been
launched in New York city.
The boat is the invention of Capt.
Carl j. II. Flindt, who began the actual
York OF construction last Christmas.
Great secrecy was observed in build
ing the boat. There is not an angle
in her exterior lines. Steering from
the bow, which looks like a tigurehead,
deck and keel bend gradually to the
middle OF the boat, then taper to the
overhanging stern. A p%ilothouse rises
like a dorsal fin from the deck, while
a row of dead lights, limiting at fishes
scales, circles the hull. Looking at the
boat, bow on, the suggestion of a fish
is as pronounced as from a side view,
for there seems to be no beam. A foot
rail running around the deck, and pro-
tected by an iron hand-rail, is the only
point Of the structure out Of keeping
with the idea of a submarine crea-
ture.
Capt. Flindt bases his greatest hope
for phenomenal speed on the propeller,
which he holds is the greatest novelty
about the boat. There have been other
t~ish-shaped boats, ne admits, but no
propeller like this.
She will have her engines in three
weeks, hen in a week will come on her
trial trip.
Capt. Flindt, a sailor for 81 yoarA
has been working out the idea Of the
tboat for IA years. He made 50 models
Of %propellers before he perfected the
device with which this boat Is fitted.
1t consists of two steel plates, each
with two fianges, and Is expected. to
make 500 revolutions q minute under
. 50-horse power engine.
The craft is built OF oak and steel
ribs. and is 81 feet long. 81 feet beam.
and IL feet from the lowest point Of.
keel 10 the highest point Of deck. This
boat will draw six feet Of water. "8he
will have two staterooms. each II feet
long and running the width Of the ship,
q saloon 43 feet long. q machine room
and kitchen, and can accommodate 40
men.

CRowD1NG SILVER TOO FAR.

The fall in the price of silver is
urged by the advocates of gold
monometalism as an argument
against b%imetalism.
The argument is all the other
way, and those who are not blind
partisans are beginning to see the
logic of the situation. The advo-
Gates of gold have pushed their
cause to far, and threaten the des-
truction of 81, 500, 900, 900 worth
of coined money held by India,
Mexico, Brazil, Sou-h America,
China, France and Austria, to say
nothing of the United States.
Is it not evident that Europe has
a deep financial lnterestin bringing
about some Plan to prevent the
wiping out of this value?
The New York World, a strong
gold organ, asks the pertinent
question: "What is to become of
the commerce of the silver coun-
tries-England's best customers
if their money is to be wiped out?
Mexico has already put a stop to
foreign trade for this cause. Must
not ali the silver countries do the
like if the decline continues?"
1t is evident that there is such a
thing as "crowding the limit"
England may discover this fact
when she loses her trade with all
the silver using Countries.

yards people are back of the move
and the intention is to tap the great
range country which now comprises
the counties Of Sterling, Zeibach,
Nowlin, jackson, Presho, Pratt and
Lyman. This envolves the territory
lying between the Big Cheyenne
river on the north, the White river
on the south, and west to the Black
Hills. Owing to the location Of the
loading stations, the bulk OF the
cattle from this territory has gone
to the Chicago market. excepting
such as were driven to Brennan Just
east OF Rapid City and loaded.
These went 20 Omaha, for the most
part, but that market with its usual

BURDEkED WITH APRICOTS,
Crop So BounteOus Growers Are I'm
able to Handle 1t.

Crop So Bounteous Are I'm
nble to Handle 1t.
Fruit growers in California are
amazed at the extent of the apricot
crop. The quantity of the fruit COM
ing in is simply overwhelming, and it
would seem that every tree in the val
ley had this year taken to bearing the
luscious cot. The driers are unable
to take care of the fruit coming in, and
are forced to reject much of it after it
Is picked. Ono man who could not dis
pose OF his apricots after they were
picked dumped two tons by the road
side. and there are q number of growers
who will not attempt to harvest their
crops.
Any losses sustained in this way, how
ever, are due to the neglect of the grow
ers to make preparations for handling
the fruit in time. The associations arc
handling all the fruit Of their men,
bers. n there are a number Of driers
st work with large forces of men, WON
en- and children. But it is impossible to
secure enough help to handle the fruit.
Calls for 100 cutters are posted in the
post Office. and probably 200 people
could get employment to-day. There
are very few of the growers who are
prepared to handle their own fruit, and
40 q consequence those who are not in
the associations are obliged to sell their
fruit or let it go to waste.
One effect Of the glut Of apricots will
be to somewhat improve the quality OF
the dried fruit sent out, as some pains
are being taken to discriminate as to
the quality Of the fruit to be rejected.
1t has been suggested hat a large part
OF the fruit going to waste should be
given to the poor people. But those
people are at work In the driers for IA
many hours per day as they choose to
work. and probably would prefer to
draw wages than to put in their time
drying fruit for themselves.
