A great commotion seems to have
taken place among railway circles
owing to the contemplated through
car service between the Pacific Coast
and Chicago which is operating one
day each week. This is not new de-
parture by any means, as the Denver

its connections have been operating a
through car service between the Pa
cific and Atlantic coast via. Salt Lake
Pueblo, Denver, Kansas City and
Chicago for years, and three days
each, week, viz. every Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday evening. The
cars for this through service are of
the latest Pullman design, and are
supplied with clean linen and bedding
throughout. n Pullman porter is as
signed to each car. These cars are
also under the personal supervision
of Special Excursion agent

themselves for active service. Not un-
til Tom Isabel. the rough rider, came
back did they fully awaken to their

meetings of the Pawnee, Kiowa, Com
anche, Cherokee and Creek tribes have

a list of over 200 has been secured,
and they will forward to the President
the announcement that they are ready

Rayages of Bubopic Plague.

Bombay, April 2O.-According to sta
tistics gathered regarding the bubonic
plague it is established that there have
been 25O.OOO deaths recorded in India
since its beginning. These figures,
however are undoubtedly far below
the actual total. as the natives are
known to have concealed quite a num-
Der of deaths.
The deaths in Bombay presidency
are still about 1000 weekly. With the
return of hot weather the plague,
which is now the third epidemic, is
again rapidly disappearing. The NOR
tality. which was $50 daily in the city
of Bombay five weeks ago, has now
sunk to 100 day, and the government
has dropped the rigorous repressive
measures which, 1t has been found, it
is impossible to maintain indefinitely
in face of the fatalist resignation of
the natives.

alton, they are NOT such as to affect
the main facts. 1t is regarded as GER
tain that the court will find that Gen
eral Miles charges that embalmed Or
chemically prepared beef was sent to
the army have not been sustained. The
position of the court is believed to he
that the testimony is conclusive that
both the refrigerated beef and the
canned beef were in good condition
when delivered to the government and
continued so Until issued to the troops,
except that portion damaged in trans
portation or affected by tropical con
ditions, and to these causes of injury
and these conditions the chief cause
Of trouble will be attributed 1t will
be shown that the refrigerated beef,
after being taken from the ice in the
tropical climate, spoils quickly unless
well cared for and that the canned
beef, after being opened, because IF
the great heat, becomes repulsive in
appearance and soon unpalatable. But
the court will hold, as the result of
chemical investigation by experts, that
the canned beef is wholesome and nu-
tritious. Attention will be called to
the fact that it was used throughout
the war by our navy and is still used
by the fleet. 1t is believed that the
court will criticise those officers who
have testified that they became aware
that bad beef was issued to the troops
and failed to report their observations
until after the war had closed

Critics of missions, who delight in
saying that "it takes dollar to carry
a cent" to the beneficiaries of these
organizations. are conclusively refuted
by facts given in connection with the
missions of the Methodist Epis-
copal church. During the church year
1878 this body expended In the for
eign and domestic mission fields about
twelve hundred thousand dollars. The
Salaries of missionary bishops, secre-
taries, and so forth" together with the
"ofiice and incidental expenses" took
just six and a half cents out of each
dollar given to be expended in mission
work The children of this world"
may be wiser in their generation than
the children of light" at least the
critics think SO; but the fact remains
that a business corporation which
could keep its "cost of administration"
within seven per cent of its total ex-
penditure would feel that it exhibited
very commendable worldly skill.
