AS is usual at this season, when the
end of the year is approaching, the
railway officials are being besieged
with requests for passes. The appli-
cants are evidently unacquainted with
the provisions of the act passed at the
last session of the legislature covering
this and other matters connected with
the railway business. The act was
passed by both houses and was vetoed
by Governor Wells, but the Legislature
passed it again over his veto. The
law takes effect on Jan. l next and its
provisions are stringent and sweeping.
AT present the railway officials have
reached no positive conclusion as to
the exact effect of the act That it
will restrict the issuance of passes
very much is certain, and that it may
do away with them completely is a
possibility.
The provisions of the law of special
interest are as follows:
RATES AND DETERMINATIONS.
Sec "A. All railroad corporations
must fix and publish their rates of
charges for freight and fares from one
station to another on. their various
lines in this state.
Sec %. No railroad company or other
common carrier engaged in the trans
portation of passengers or property
shall charge, demand or receive from
any person, company or corporation
for the transportation of passengers
or property a greater sum than it shall
charge or receive from any other per-
son, company or corporation for a like
service, from the same place, under
like conditions, under similar circum-
stances and for the same period o.
time. For every tranSgreSsion of the
provisions Of this section such common
carrier shall be liable to the party
suffering thereby double the entire
amount so charged to such party.
Sec. 26. Nothing in this act shall be
so construed to prohibit the carriage
or handling Of property free or at re-
duced rates for the United States, state
or municipal governments; or to or
from fairs and eXpositions for exhibit
ton thereat; or the free carriage of
destitute and homeless persons trans
ported by charitable societies, and the
necessary agents employed in such
transportation; or the issuance of mile
age, excursion or communication paSsen-
ger tickets nor to prohibit any COM
mon carrier from giving reduced pas
Senger rates to ministers of religion
solely engaged in ministerial duties
or to the United States, state or mu-
nlcipaI governments; nor to prohibit
railroads from giving free carriage to
their own officers and employees, or to
prevent the principal officers of any
railroad company or companies from
exchanging passes or tickets with
other railroad companies for their Of
f1cers and employees; nor to prohibit
railroad companies from giving re-
duced rates Of transportation to other
railroad companies for railroad con-
structiOn, material, equipment or sup
plies.

KANSAS PACIFIC.
Government Has Decided to Qualify
As a Bidder.


Washington, Dec. 2.-The govern
ment has fully decided to qualify as a
bidder at the sale of the Kansas Pa
cific railroad on Dec. 16, in case of the
failure of the reorganization commit
tee to guarantee what is regarded as
a fair and just figure for its interest
Whether the president and attorney
general will expect the full amount of
the governments claim of approx
mately $13,000,000 is not known. 1t is
learned that some days ago the reor-
ganization committee submitted pro-
position which was positively declined
What the proposition was has not
been made public. With this exception
no communications bearing upon the
subject have been made by either
party, nor does the government know
that the purposes or plans of the reor-
ganization committee are with refer
ence to the sale. If not other offers
which would be regarded as reasonable
is received prior to next Tuesday or
Wednesday the government will quail
fly as bidder by depositing
with the court certified check
for about 100000 and so be
in position to protect it's inter
ests The sale under the consolidated
mortgage takes place on Dec. Is and on

Assistant Passenger Agent G. w.
Heintz returned yesterday from But ..
where he has been for several days on
a trip, strictly for pleasure, and which
had no connection whatever with the
business of the road He states that
when he arrived in Butte the mercury
was ten below, but as all Rio Grande
Western attaches are hot stuff it
Immediately rose to 20 above and was
comfortable. From the rear end of the
observation car, about half way be-
tween Butte and Silver Bow, he noted
another cold wave coming, having been
apprised of his departure.

RUSH TO KLoND1KE.
Passenger Men Predict An Over
whelmine Number.


It is the opinion of local passenger
men that the rush to the Klondike
country in the spring will be such as to
prevent the transportation companies
handling all those who come. It is con-
f1dently stated that at least 100000 peo-
pie will go to the coast in the spring,
en- route for the gold diggings This
number will swamp the transporta-
ton companies completely. It takes 19
days to make the trip to st. Michaels
by water and six to Dyea, making the
round trip of 70 and &c days. Boats can
carry 800 passengers with ease, and
partial comfort, but at that rate it
would take 200 steamers to transport
the people and this, the local men say,
cannot be done during the short sea-
son.
1t is the opinion that a great many
of those who start for the Klondike
viii get to Seattle, and finding they
have no show of going farther, will try
prospecting in Washington, Oregon,
Idaho, Montana and Utah, where the
cost Of living is not so expensive.

SEA WATER or MANY CoLoRs.
The Meaning of the Various Tints
Produced by the Ocean 8ed.

II rom Answers.
On a bright, sunny day visitors are oft
en- puzzled at the numerous colors visible
on the surface of the sea. There will
perhaps, be some four or five streaks OF
green, blue, yellow, black and so forth,
making the water appear as though It
were painted in color stripes of mathe-
NAUTICAL precision.
To the initiated these several stripes
have their meaning. They are nearly all
produced by the character of the ocean
bed, and as a rule are only seen in close
proximity to land.
If you see a deep blue or green patch
you may label 1t deep water, the blue
usually being deeper than the green. A
yellowsh tint signifies sandy bottom,
and if it is very pronounced, indicates a
shodl or sandbank.
Black indicates rocks. although seaweed
or cloud shadows will sometimes pro-
duce a similar effect.
on the east coast it is no uncommon
thing to see a patch of bright red where
the sun has reflected the color of the
deep brown sand on the surface.
Where the bottom is muddy, as on the
Essex coast a streak Of bright silver
gray Is often seen.
Many people who cannot claim intimacy
with the sea imagine these coors are in
the sea water itself, whereas it's intrinsic
tint is blush green

vice president of the League of Wesley
Monumental, addressed the meeting on
the Literary Work" He said that the
church has done well in its efforts to
awaken the minds of the young people and
to direct the pleasure-seeking tendency.
I'VE should adopt Bible text books" he
said "and urge study; we should seek to
know the tastes of the members and sug
gest courses of reading that would be
agreeable to the majority. Papers should
be prepared on various topics, particular
~ local enterprises. The timid should be
developed by ascertaining their specialties
and having them write upon them"
The address was good, aboUhding in
suggestions of practical value. 1t was fol-
lowed by the singing Of "All Hail the
Power of Jesus Name"
The last speaker was Mr. Cook. His
address was greatly enjoyed by ALL Mr.
Cook said that many have asked: ''Who
is this man Epworth, for whom your
league is named?" He then explained
that Epworth is the name of the birth
place of John Wesley. One verse of
Come, Ye That Love the Lord" was then
sung, and after it the meeting was con-
cluded by the singing of the Doxology
and the benediction.

CATTLE AT AUCTION.
Mr.. e. c., Black bought the Jersey
Dairy Property.

The stock comprising the Jersey Dairy,
belonging to Mr.. Edward ]. Thomas, was
sold by the sheriff at the court house yes
terday. The property was bid in by Mr.
E. G.. Black, who held a first mortgage on
the stock for the sum of $500.
The scene of a large drove of cattle
surging around the court house at mid
day, was such as to attract the attention
of all passersby. When the sheriff had
become thoroughly warmed up to the cry,
how much? How much am l offered -
the audience of curiosity seekers had as
sumed some proportions The cattle. to-
gether with all the wagons and other ap-
purtenances incident to the conduct of
the dairy, were knocked down to the pur-
chaser, Mr.. Black. after which the herd
was driven back to the farm near Bona
venture cemetery. Mr.. Black has not
come to any conclusion as to what he will
do with the property, but thinks that he
will probably let some one take the stock
and conduct a city dairy.

to the Bartholdi statue II Is to be placed
in the center of the Ohio river channel. a
short distance below the junction of the
Allegheny and MononRahcla rivers The
project was suggested by William r.
Thompson, now running as an Independent
republican candidate for state treasurer
MIR Thompson suggested the erection of
such a statue to in an address made at a
banquet rendered to the visiting Pan
Americans.
1t is proposed that the statue shall bear
aloft a huge torch at night, lighting up
the Ohio valley and river, to be seen for
miles by travellers approaching the city
from the west. The matter Will be taken
up by the chamber of commerce and other
bodies interested in the citys manufacto-
ries.
