Fast Mail to Seattle.

The widespread public interest in
the contest for the fast mail contract
between Chicago and Omaha has
caused one temporarily to 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 serv-
ice a fast through mail and passen-
ger train from Chicago to Seattle, on
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 a 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. F%orty-five
minutes are consumed in transferring
the mails in Chicago, and thirty min
utes in St. Paul. After that the
Northern Oriental flyer does the rest
without q pause until the Asiatic
mails go on board the steamers of
the Japan Mail Steamship Company.
Both the Importance of Seattle as an
Oriental shipping point and the speed
Of the Great Northern transconti-
mental mail service make the achieve
ment q noteworthy feature of Amer
lean railway progress.
The Puget Sound cities have al
ready become formidable rivals Of
San Francisco as regards the freight
n passenger traffic for Japan, China
n Asiatic ports. The steamer route
from Seattle to the Orient seems to
be more free from storms than that
from San Francisco, and as a large
proportion Of the Oriental exports are
products 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 as far ahead as next
August is in itself a striking proof of
the growing Importance of the
Oriental trade hal has it's outlet at
Seattle.

KIPLING AT WORK.
THE AUTHOR POET SEEN IN
HIS DEN.
Or. Leon Kellner, the Historian, Ac-
corded the Privilege OF an Interview
with the Celebrated Charactcr-Dis-
trustful OF Himself.

MIR. Rudyard Kipling's objection to
being interviewed is known to all the
world. But the rule which Mr.. Kip
ling has lain down for himself with
regard to the Anglo-Saxon world
seems to be relaxed when due ap-
proaches are made by foreigners. Per-
haps Mr.. Kipling is of the well-known
view that foreign opinion is a sort
OF contemporary posterity. At any
rate, he has been interviewed by DR..
Leon Kellner, who is on a prolonged
visit to England to collect materials
for his proposed History" on which
he has been engaged for the last ten
years. DR.. Kellner naturally desired
to learn something about the most
prominent figure in English literature
at the end of the era-his aims, his
method of work, and the factors which
nave gone to create so remarkable a
phenomenon-and with Teutonic di-
RICHNESS he applied to the distinguish
ed author himself. The result was an
interview which appeared recently as
a teuilleton in a Viennese journal-the
"Neues Wiener Observation-Disclosures
with Mr.. kipling's permission.

Why Hicks Was absent.

Congressman Hicks did not know
that the Teller resolution would be
voted on last Monday, SO he remained
in Altoona, attending to business. AS
he entered a street car Speaker Reed
called u him, and then in a jocular
manner said: Look here, Hicks, you
were absent on Monday when our
school was in session. Have you
brought a written excuse from your
mother?" The car was full Of con-
gTessmen and the joke was very heart
lily appreciated. Reeds laugh, you
know, is a roar, and he enjoyed his own
joke hil%ariously. Hicks is still laugh
