wATsoN's BICYCLE BOAT.

axle is fixed a sprocket wheel, from
which an endless chain runs to another
Sprocket wheel near the bottom of the
boat. To this latter wheel is fastened
a pair of bicycle pedals, so placed as
to be easily worked by man sitting
on seat over them. a rudder is pro-
Vided with which to steer the boat,
and the paddle wheels are covered over
the top so as to prevent the water from
splashing into the boat.
An awning, or canvas covering, is
provided, so that the sides can be let
down and a comfortable place made,
which is protected against storms. All
the necessary apparatus will be taken
on board the boat, and it will be pro-
visioned for one year. Mr.. Watson has
worked long on his project and every
detail has been carefully planned, so
that nothing will be lacking. The
working gear of the boat is made very
strong and durable, so that there is
little chance for a breakdown unless
some Unforeseen accident should hap
pen. Even then. Mr.. Watson will have
material enough with him to repair
any breaks.
The undertaking is a daring one, but
Mr.. Watson feels assured of his ulti-
mate success. What makes the trip
even more daring than usual is the
fact that he will travel alone, and will
have to depend entirely upon his own
efforts to make the journey. Should
an accident happen 10 him he will have
to depend upon his medicine chest for
aid. The possibilities of failure are
many, and it shows determination to
undertake such a trip. The method of
travelling is also an untried one, but
Mr.. Watson is confident that it will
prove successful one. For work in
smooth water the style of vessel used
by Mr.. Watson would undoubtedly
prove a success. The old water veloci-
pedes have long been in use. but Mr..
WatsOn's boat is differently con-
structed and he will have many ad-
verse conditions to contend with.
AS far as can be learned. Mr.. Watson
expects to make his way up the Stick
cen river to Telegraph creek. From
there he will hire pack mules to carry
his outfit overland about 80 miles to
the head of Lake Tesiin; from there up
the Teslin river to Lewis river: down
that stream to the Yukon, and from
there to the Klondike gold fields. In
this way Mr.. Watson Will only have
strip of about 80 miles overland. and
all of the remaining distance can be
made by the boat. Mr.. Watson ex-
poets to leave Salt Lake on the 3rd of
next month and will make his way
towards Klondike as fast as possible.

John A. Reeves, OF the traffic depart
II ent of the Oregon Short Line, will re-
turn from the transcontinental rate
meeting at Del Monte, Cal, on Tues
day. He wired yesterday that he would
leave there tomorrow.
From all reports of this meeting,
there was nothing done of any import
ance With the exception of Mr.. Mum
roe, the freight traffic manager of the
Union Pacific, there was no one in at
tendance who had any authority to do
anything. The balance of the attend
ance, with a very few exceptions, were
clerks and other employees, with linn
tied powers. So, as the result of all
this work which has been going on, de-
spite the fact that merchants appeared
personally and by committee, asking
that rates be changed and all that sort
of thing, there will nothing grow out
of it.
mr.. Eecles was asked to come on to-
morrow for the purpose of holding a
meeting with Mr.. Munroe and others,
on some topics of Importance, but could
not find the time TO go, and so wired.

A Mexican Railroad.

San Francisco, March 26.-Railway
communication is to be established be-
tween the City of Mexico and Manza-
Milo on the Pacific ocean. At present a
branch OF the Mexican Central extends
west d short distance beyond Guada-
laiara to the town Of Ameca, and then
abruptly ends.
On the Pacific a narraw gauge line
runs from Manzanillo to Colonia. The
country intermediate from Colonia to
Guadalaiara possesses no means Of rail-
road communication.
This gap is, however, to be filed in,
and the central section of the republic
united by rail with the Pacific ocean. A
concession FOR the new line has been
granted to Ignacio Borda of Mexico,
who expects to interest American cap
italists in the work

REEVES COMING HOME.
Transcontinental Rate Meeting Does
Very Little.

Employees of the railroads in this
city have been given time from their
daily duties to circulate petitions to
congress asking for the passage of the
anti-Scalping law. 1t is said an order
has been issued to all employees of
railroad ticket offices in the United
States, giving each one an hour off
every afternoon for the purpose of cir
culating petitions. 1t is expected that
by these means the number of people
who will ask for the passage of the
bill will be increased by hundreds of
thousands, for. as is well known, people
will sign almost anything presented to
them, so long as ii does not contain a
promise to pay within 80 days. The
brokers o. this city have caused to be
inserted in the papers here a notice to
people to refrain from signing these pc
titions, and a merry fight will soon he
on, as the ticket brokers intend circu-
lating a counter petition.
However, the chances of the bill pass
ing at this session of congress seem
quite remote, and it is not believed the
railways viii succeed in getting any
legislation this time. The pooling bill
and the anti-scalping bill both coming
up at the same time has aroused a
prejudice in the minds of the legislat-
Ors, and it is very likely that both
measures will go over.

FAST TIME SCHEDULE.
Alton Road Will Cut Down Hours
Between Chicago and Kansas City.

The Chicago & Alton, according to a
dispatch from Kansas City, received
last night, is going to inaugurate a
time schedule between Chicago and
Kansas City which will reduce the
hours of running to a great extent.
The dispatch says that within two
weeks it will cut. the running time from
Chicago to Kansas City to Is hours
fiat. The present schedule is Is hours
and 25 minutes. 1t is stated that all
competing lines will meet the cut. Both
the Alton and the Burlington claim
they can make the run in still less time,
if necessary. The Rock Island which
has a longer line, proposes to counter
act the action of the Alton and the
proposed action of the Burlington by
making a cut in passenger rates, be-
cause the cut in speed is beyond its
ability to compete with. The reduction
in the time is said TO be caused by the
time reductions between Chicago and
Denver. In this war the Rock Island
cannot compete either having a longer
route, although it has a fast train run
ming between the two points.

Failure of the Peoples Bank In
Philadelphia

Philadelphia
BY the failure of the Peoples Bank
of Philadelphia, as recorded in The
Herald yesterday morning. the Guar
antor's Finance company of Philadel-
phia also goes TO the wall. a. l.. ia
cobs, state agent for Utah. said last
evening that he had written about
100000 worth of business in this state
since his. appointment. chiefly with
the Union Light & Power company
lions Savings Bank q Trust company
and Walker Bros. At the request of
the Union Light & Power company. he
has written concerning the standing of
the company which was reported on
by the insurance commissioners of the
states of Pennsylvania, New York, IL
linois, and very recently, by the COM
missioner of the state of Minnesota,
who is reported as being one of the
brightest men in the business Mr.
Jacobs recently wired him and the
Pennsylvania commissioner and also
wrote them, but got no answer. He
stated that he would not see the firms
and companies lose their money, but
would refund from his private funds
what he had received. He was about
to so to Europe when the crash came,
and is very glad he did not start, be-
cause in his absence his business might
have suffered. Mr.. Jacobs also con-
graduates himself that he did not have
the concern longer than he did, as it
might have cost him several thousand
dollars.

BEING TRANSFORMED.
Old Lyceum Theatre Being Made a
Liquor House

A transformation is taking place IN
the Lyceum theatre, where carpenters
have been at work for some days tear
ing out the inside and rebuilding the
same. for occupancy by the firm of
B. h Block & Co, which will keep
therein a stock of liquors.
Ere long the boards which have
creaked beneath the tread of the actors
who stalked across the stage will groan
beneath the weight of rolling barrels
of booze, and the walls which have alb
sorbed the dainty perfumes shed by
fair guests will reek with the smell of
Old Tom gin and Oscar Pepper whisky.
In the spot where Richards the three
times have cried, "A horse. a horse. my
kingdom for a horse" thirsty denizens
will order the barboy to 'Shetm up
gin
It's a wonderful history the Lyceum
has had during the past seven or eight
years. 1t was a livery barn in 1890 and
was run by MullOy & Paul. Then
Sackett & Lawler came here and rent
ed it for a museum, which they deslS-
mated the Eden Musee, and for a time
the Salt Lake public dropped dimes
into the place for the privilege of look
ing at the freaks, the thin tall man.
and the short fat man, the woman with
whiskers and all that sort of thing; the
monkeys cage and the Japanese mer-
maid, the tattooed man and the van
ishing lady.
Sackett & Lawler flew the coop after
time and the place was re.nodeled
and converted into q theatre. It has
had various ups and downs since that
time Actors have come and actors
have gone. Ham after ham has trod-
den the boards. and the IS deaths of
heavy traeedians yet linger in the dus-
ty belongings which are now being
fred out behind to make room for box
es of California wine and Italian
Amontillado. And thus it goes. We
