PULLMAN CLUB CARS FOR
THE WASHINGTON AND
SOUTHWESTERN LIMITED
VIA SOUTHERN RAILWAY.

The distinctive feature of the
Washington and Southwestern YES
tibuled Limited of the Southern
Railway i'll service between New
York and New Orleans is the high
class of patronage. The travellers
around the world invariably state
that they consider this famous
train one of the most delightful
and luxurious they have seen. A
new feature has been added in the
way of a Club Car for the gentle
men in which they can assemble
and enjoy the delight of a good
cigar and social chat. The plea
sure of the ladies has also been
provided for by placing an obser-
walton car on the train for their
especial occupancy. This train is
now composed exclusively of YES
tibuled Pullman cars with the ex-
ception of the dining car service
which is under the exclusive man
agement of the Southern Railway,
the standard of which is superior
to any similar service afforded
anywhere in the world.

press representative, the time is COM
ing when the continental powers will
combine to smash up this little island
OF Great Britain. When that happens
she will have to turn to the United
States for help. feel certain it will
not be refused. The United States will
step in and say Don't They will act
just as Great Britain did in the Span

was great, and it is not half realized

When Mr.. Carnegie gave utterance
to these sentiments he was in the
Langham hotel, London, where he had
arrived from Scotland for the Chamber
OF Commerce gatherings. Until last
night he had steadfastly refused to be
interviewed.
Resuming the topic of Anglo-Ameri
can relations, Mr. Carnegie said:

Washington, June 5.-Dr. Rixey was
at the White House an hour and a half
last evening, and on leaving at 1890
said: There has been no important
change in Mrs McKinley's condition.
She is resting very comfortably. OF
course there are fluctuations in her
condition; at times she is better and at
times worse, but she is certainly not
losing any ground. In fact, she is pos
sibly gaining very slowly. There is
no more immediate danger now than
there has been for some time"

Newport, R. l., June 5.-The cup de-
fender Constitution was dismasted
while on her trial spin yesterday after
noon. The accident happened while
the yacht was off Brenton's Reef

No one was hurt in the accident on
the Constitution, although one of the
mates was swept overheard. He was
rescued and suffered no harm.
"The accident" said a leading
