Asleep ia Jesus, flT tgarn thee

But there is still a blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep

1t is a fact that the stokers on board
an ocean liner" provided the men
are steady in their habits, suffer
scarcely at all from their arduous la
bors. A stoker works four hours at a
stretch. and during that time the tenn
perature OF his surroundings varies
from 120 to 100 degrees. One stoker
usually has four furnaces to attend to.
and while feeding one furnace a man
has to be extremely careful or his arm
will be burnt by the furnace behind
him. AS a rule, a man is occupied for
about three minutes at each furnace.
and directly he had finished he rushes
to the air-pipe and awaits till his turn
comes round again. 1t has been found
that the work is least injurious to the
men who are regularly employed at it.

London, Oct. 22.-Thr French yellow

New York, Oct. 21.--A cable to the
Herald from Manila says:
Admiral Dewey has seized all of
Aguinaldo's steamers and trouble is
likely as n result.
The natives who follow the standard
OF the insurgent leader are indignant
and have assumed threatening atti-

high-handed acts of the Americans.
The health OF the American troops
Is good. the only ailments being those
to which Europeans are subject when
not accustomed to this climate.
The ratIons. according to the army
standard, are of good quality. hat the
soldiers, who have been used TO better
fare at home, are complaining to some
extent. The boys continue happy, but
they are anxious to return home.
Lots of fun has been furnished the
soldiers by baseball contests for silver
cups given by business houses. In
these contests the Utah team defeated
the Fourteenth regulars and South Da-

Consolidation OF Lines

Salt Lake, Utah. Oct. 24.-It is stated
here that the expected reorganization
of the Union Pacific. the Oregon Short
Line and the Oregon Railway and
Navigation companies will have the
effect of consolidating the Short Line
and the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
tion concern into one system to be op-
Grated from Portland. Oregon.
One who is well informed in the Sc
crets OF the Union Pacific said that the
rumor was well founded and made the
further statement that In less than one
year the same combination would con
troll the Central Pacific as well. and
that the meetings in the city and the
election of the Union Pacific officials
on the Short Line board We're only the
beginning of the working out of n de-
sign that will be far reaching in its

THE EVACUATION PROBLEM.

Spanish Troops Cannot LEAVE
Cuba by the Date Set.
Washington. Oct 21.--It is now GER
tain that the complete evacuation of
Cuba will be delayed beyond the pc
riod originally fixed by the adminls-
,ration. This will he entirely without
reference toanytling that has occurred
in Paris before the peace commission.
The War Department has about salts
fled itself that the task imposed upon
the Spanish authOrities-the removal
and transportation to Il great distance
by sea of about 10000 soldiers. sick
and well, with their nccoutrements.
was beyond the ability of the Span
inrds. The magnitude of the task Is
shown by the fact that the great trans
atlantic steamship lines crossing the
Atlantic from New York all combined,
in prosperous seasons. transport only
about 10000 persons in one year-less
than half the number that the Span-
ish officials with their poor facilities
were expected to transport in about
ten weeks.
Delay in the evacuation of Cuba will
cause a delay in the REIMBURSEMENT of
sovereignty by tile Spaniards over the
entire island, which was set for De-
cember LIST. 1t is hardly deemed pru-
dent to undertake. to assume charge OF
municipal Affairs in Havana so long as
the city contains n strong garrison of
Spanish troops. and it is felt that law
and order can be better maintained in
such centers by allowing them to re-
main under Spanish Jurisdiction until
they shall be evacuated by the troops
and reoccupied by United States troops.
1t is not to be understood by this
Int thn military Rnmnix-
sion Is In any sense abating the pres
sure It tas brought to bear upon the
Spanish military commissioners to Sc
cure the evacuation of the island and
the REIMBURSEMENT Of Spanish sover-
eighty. On the contrary, they have re-
doubled their efforts to secure these
objects. but they nre not disposed to
insist upon the performance of impos-
sible TASKS.
