nounced a few days ago that they were

Coast line. the Post-Intelligencer, with its
usual enterprise, decided 10 put on a
special railroad speeder for the convent
ence OF its large list of subscribers along
this line 10 put the Seattle morning paper
in some hours ahead OF the old schedule.
IL had been under contemplation for some
time past. but the new change In the reg
ular time card and the recent reduction
in the price OF the Daily and Sunday Post
Inteihgencer. thereby creating such big
increase in orders by ali of the outside
agents. makes this new move possible a.
this time The spectsi speeder VIII De put

Though the reduction announced in last
Sundays paper was not TO be In effect
until May !. the Post-Inteliigencer has al
ready received a large number Of new sub
scribers In this city alone. TO say nothing
OF orders for extras from all agents In
nearby towns.

lisencer will be another large and inter
esting number. In order to insure prompt
and regular delivery. leave your orders at

Bird shooting Match.

CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-The lines of the
Western Passenger association have
adopted rigid rules for the execution
and handling of the return portions of
the tickets to the &. A, r. encampment
at Buffalo. Chairman Caldwell has is
sued circular to all interested lines
notifying them that all tickets sold
from the territory Of the Western Pos
senger association must be executed
by the joint agent in Buffalo before
they will be good in the territory of
the Western Passenger association for
the return trip. All of the roads are
asked to notify all purchasers Of tick
cts that tickets must be executed for
the return passage in Buffalo and no
where else.
MANY WANT TO BE ARMY CHAPLAIN.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l6.-Three hun
bred ministers in the country have
been attracted by vacancy existing
in the grade of chaplain in the army,
and have applied for the appointment.
The position carries with it fair pay,
the rank of captain and no very hard
duties. Chaplains have to buy no ex-
pensive uniforms aud usually get de-
sirable stations. Secretary Alger be-
lieves that there should be some age
limit for the appointment of chaplains,
and he has settled on 80 years as a fair
one. None of the candidates, there
fore, beyond this can hope to be Sc
lected.
A "HoRsE SWAPPING" CONVENTION.
WINDER, Ga, Aug. lG.--A 'horse

first time, probably, in history, for the
purpose of permitting farmers and
traders to get together and dispose of
surplus stock and fill their various
needs. As many as 5000 head of stock
has changed hands, and many times
that amount of money. The organiza-
ton has been made permanent, and
will hold a session every year.

lie Has Resigned as Military Commander OF
Cuba Spanish Soldiers Poorly Fed.
New YORK, Aug ga dispatch to
the Herald from Havana, Cuba, says:
Capt Gen. Weylcr's summer campaign
came to an inglorious end last Wednes-
day, when he returned to this city with
rebels firing on his rear guard all the
way from Aguacate to Havana. He
cabled his resignation to Madrid on
Thursday. In the reply he received
he was told to remain In Cuba SO
long as the present ministry holds
power. The suspense here is in
tense, but no excitement appears
on the surface. The captain-general
who succeeds Gen. Weyler will have a
hard task. The splendid force Of 2OO,'
900 men Spain placed in Gen. Weyler's
hands Is, II the truth be told. now only
tattered remnant. A tropical sun
has proved more destructive than bat
ties With the exception Of the fortu-
nate ones stationed in and about IIa-
vana, Spanish soldiers are in bad
way. They have not received their
pay for months, they are weak from
illness and poor feeding, they are
badly clothed, and many have no shoes.
