SOME BIG FREIGHT HAULs.
The Wonderful Work That Has be en-
Performed by Union Pacific
Locomotives.

The Union Pacific has been making
some wonderful freight hauls east
from Cheyenne, Wyo., during the past
few days. On Monday engine No. 1904
pulled 102 cars, or 1900 tons, from
Cheyenne to Sidney, distance of LOG
miles, in 5h hours. A few days later
the same engine hauled 1l2 cars, or
5000 tons, over the same district in
seven hours. This car haul beats the
worlds record for one locomotive,
which was formerly held by the Lee
high Valley road at $500 tons. The
officials say the big engines have not
been tested to their full strength yet
and that they will undoubtedly pull
5000 tons over the Nebraska division.

hesk IslaaA Arsenal - he Equipped
for the MaAufasture Of
Cans.

Owing to a mistake in an estimate
made Hast year by the ordnance bu,
reau of the war department, the Rock
Island arsenal has not been equipped
for manufacturing small arms, and it
will be necessary to secure an addi-
tional appropriation at this congress
before the work of installing ma
chinery will begin. A movement OF
this kind is on, foot, and one of the
general appropriation bills will car y
an appropriation of at least $780,
900, SO as to enable the war depart
ment to place the machinery in the
buildings at Rock Island for the man
ufacture of small arms of the latest
pattern.
Last year, the house committee on
military affairs asked the ordnance
bureau to prepare an estimate OF
cost for equipping those buildings.
This was done. and the amount was
fixed at $35O,N0O. This was appropri-
.ated last year. and is now at the dis
posal of the secretary of war. Con-
gress had hardly adjourned, however
when it was learned a serious mistake
had been made in the estimate, and
that $4,000 would be needed instead
of $350OOO. AS the amount at the dis
ppsal of the secretary of war was less
than half of that required it was
decided to do nothing in the matter
until the money necessary to fully
equip Rock Island should be appro-
priated by congress.
Col Marsh, who was instrumental
in having the original appropriation
made, and Representative Cannon
chairman of the appropriations com
mittee, now have the matter in hand
and it is quite certain the deficit will
be made up, and during the summer
the work of equipping Rock Island for
turning out about l2nO,GO0 Krag
Jorgensen rifles will begin.

TOBACCO IN IRELAND.

One Time II eSnI.


Whether tobacco growing is still a fe,-
ony in Great Britain seems TO be matter
of doubt; but If 1t is. the Government con-
hives at the crime and collects an import
duty. As matter of fact. what is known
as English tobacco has been grown in
these islands for centuries. Not that it is
any good for snuff, or pipes. or cigarettes.
as the virtue dies out very soon from
home seeded tobacco.
English" or green" tobacco grows
from three to five feet. but the valuable
kinds are from five feet to six feet high.
and they all grow well in the southern
uarts of both England and Ireland.
The industry has never had chance, fc:
when tobacco was first grown as crop in
ireland the tobacco planters IL our colo

bacco. The Latin text freely translated
reads that The who smokes to-day shall

creed that the pipe of the smoker be
thrust through his nose: and in Russia
the noses of smokers were cut oil.
English grown tobacco needs no expen-
sive machinery: can be grown by yeoman
or cottager, and brings a high price. The
profits claimed for the recent big expert
ments in Ireland verge on the fabu:oug.

The excavations carried out by Arthur
Evans and ID. G. Hcgarth. in Crete. con-
tnue to yield results of the highest inter-
est. On that portion of the site of ancient
Knossos which Mr. Evans has selected for
investigation (Khephala) Mycenaean pal
ace has been discovered containing relics
Of extraordinary importance, by means of
which the hitherto uncertain question of
Mycenaean writing has been finally set
tied In the chambers of the buildings
have been found whole series of CLAW tab
lets. analogous to the Babylonian. but with
indigenous Cretan script. These tablets are
apparently palace archives. On the south
front of the building the entrance hall of
the megaron has come to light. and in the
adjoining corridor is large piece of fres-
CO representing a full size figure of a girl
in Mycenaean costume holding long vase
In brilliancy of coloring and grace of form
the figure surpasses anything hitherto dis
covered belonging to this period The re-
mains belong to the great Mycenaean age,
about 1400 B. C.
L: is believed that important and inter-
esting traces have been found Of a civ''i-
zat!on anterior to the age of Homer.
