The Pennsylvania Congressional Linn
tied

The superb new Congressional Limited
trains over the Pennsylvania railroad, be-
tween New York and Washington contain a
number of novel and interesting festures.
The inferior of the train is veritable palace.
The wood work throughout is vermilion Or
namented with delicate inlad marquetry in
Persian designs. The dining car and the
parlor cars are carpeted in blue or green, and
the observation car in dun. The smoking
and baggage car is upholstered in green with
stuffed leather chairs. In the dining car the
tables are placed directly opposite the win
dows, which are unusually wide instead of
between them and instead of the fixed seats
usually seen in the dining cars, this car is
equipped with mahogany chairs. The ar
engagements of the tables allows much more
room on all sides than formerly The moot
noticeable new feature in the parlor car is
the ladies' dressing room. This is a rounded
compartment tastefully furnished. On one
side stands beautiful dresser with large
plate-glass mirror and a number Of drawers,
flsnked on each side by plush seat. On the
opposite side is metal washstand. Besides
these, the room contains several closets and
racks. The train ia carpeted throughout with
plain velvet in appropriate colors. Each car
is equipped with both electric and gas lights.

table showing the relative rank of the
major generals of volunteers, based on
the length of service each has had in

because it shows the ranking officer in
the event that two or more are for any
reason thrown together, and it may
also be used as basis in detailing the
major generals to the corps commands,

GEN. LEA telegram from Rich
mond says General Fitzhugh Lee is
expected to arrive there to-day from
Washington. He will remain, though,
only few days, as he expects to leave
some time this week for Chickamagua to
assume command of this division which
will be assigned to him there. 1t is
known that General Fitznugh Lee
has written orders from the war de.
partnent ordering him to go to Chick
amauga, whence he will lead the first
division of volunteers to Cuba. 1t was
largely through his influence that the
war department decided to inangurate
a vigorous campaign in Cuba without
waiting until the fall.
