COL LITTLE WALKED.
Because All the Good Horses Had
Been Reserved

San Francisco, Oct. 12-''Who is that
battalion commander out there on
fOot?" asked General Shafter. as the
Twentieth Kansas marched by his
headquarters this afternoon.
That is Lieutenant Colonel Little"
answered a staff officer, and thereby
hangs a tale When the Twentieth
formed for it's march to the Preside,
the officers were told to select horses
from the large number which had been
sent for their use. Colonel Little Sc
lected a horse which had been set apart
for Governor Stanley. At his second
selection he chose one which had been
reserved for Adjutant General Fox De-
clining to make a selection from the lot
which had not been reserved, he re-
turned, angry, to the wharf, and was
on foot at the head of his battalion
when Colonel Metcalf sent a horse to
him by his orderly. This he refused to
take, and marched on foot five miles
to the Presidio, while every regimental
and battalion officer had a mount
When these details were explained to
General Shafter, he put both hands
across his stomach and laughed.

Fast Maui tn Seattle


The widespread public interest in the con-
cago and Omaha has caused one to- tempo.
rarily overlook the similar achievement OF
the Great Northern railway in establishing
quick mail communication from New York
via Chicago and st. Paul to Seattle, and
thence to the Orient. The fast Pacific mail
service by way Of st. Paul to the Puget
Sound country is now quite as remarkable
as that via Omaha to San Francisco On
January 3 the Great Northern placed in
service fast through mail aud passenger
train from Chicago to Seattle, gu which
the mail pouches never once leave the car
after the transfer at st. Paul.
From New York to Seattle the time by
this Northern route is just four days.
East Of ST. Paul the mails are carried ON
several roads, but west Of that city-on q
run exceeding the eastern portion by 500
miles-the mail goes through without
change across five great states on the
tracks of the Great Northern. Forty five
minutes are consumed in transferring the
mails in Chicago and thirty minutes in
st. Paul. After that the Northern Orien.
tai flyer does the rest without a pause
until the Asiatic mails go on board the
steamer of the Japan Mail Steamship
Company. Both the Importance of Seat.

U
noteworthy feature Of American railway
progress.
The Puget Sound cities have already be.
come Formidable rivals Of San Francisco as
regards the freight and passenger traffic
for Japan, China and Asiatic ports Tho
steamer route from Seattle to the Orient
seems to be more free from storms than
that from San Francisco, and as large
proportion of the Oriental exports are pro.
ducts of the Northwest, the freight traffic
has naturally taken this course The fact
that the full capacity of the Japan Mail
Steamship company's boats is engaged az
far ahead as next August, is in itself strik-
ing proof Of the growing Importance Of the
Oriental trade that has It's outlet at Seattle
For these, and other reasons, the fast
mail to the Pacific coast, for which tho
Great Northern holds the government con.
tract, is fully as important as that which
daily rushes across the plains and noun
tains to San Francisco. The Great North
ern has been as much alive to the keen riv-
airy for speed and honors as have the
Northwestern, Rock Island and Burlington,
and it is but fair that the achievements OF
its fast daily transcontinental mail should
be included in the new chapter Of railway
advancement now being written by the
Western railroads.-Chicago Tribune, Jan
