BIG RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT.

A unique excursion was recently arranged
by the Union Pacific Railroad company.
About sixty newspaper men, representing
the leading journals of the country, were
invited to take trip on the Wyoming di-
vision, The Overland Route, for the pur-
! pose of viewing the stupendous engineering
| achievements recently made on that line.
The train was made up of two private
cars, three Pullman palace sleepers, a dining
car, drawn by one of the new compound en-
| gines, with an observation demonstrated
on the same plan as trolley car-ahead OF
the engine.
One hundred and ffty-eight and four
tenths miles of new track laid, reducing the
mileage between Omaha and Ogden by 30.47
miles, and reducing gradients which varied
from 10 4 to 81 GO feet to the mile to a ma xl-
mum of 1873 feet, and curves from to de-
grees, while a great deal of bad curvature
has been eliminated entirely.
A mountain removed and lost into a
chasm; huge holes bored hundreds of feet
encountered and overcome; an army of men,
with all sorts of mechanical aids, engaged
in the work for nearly year; the great
Union Pacific track between Omaha and
Ogden made shorter, heavy grades elimi-
mated, and the business of the great Over
land route flowing through a new channel,
without the slightest interruption.
Millions of money have been spent to re-
duce the grades and shorten the distance.
This reduction is the result of straighten-
ton of several cutoffs between Buford and
Bear river, Utah.
The curvature saved is about one-half,
the grading about the same, while the angles
are reduced nearly two-thirds. The SUI
periority of these changes is apparent to the
practical railroad engineer. 1t is also APP
parent to the operating department in the
reduction in operating expenses, and to the
traveller In the increased speed the trains
can make.
The new line runs due west from Buford,
avoiding the high hills and eighty-foot grade
from Cheyenne, and piercing through cuts
and the big tunnel, crosses the Black Hills
at grade of less than one-half (43.3 feet)
over mountain attitudes.
From a constructive standpoint the line
is remarkable for the amount of material
required in the construction of immense
embankments and the building of large
tunnels through solid rock. The construc-
ton of the new line between Buford and
Laramie alone has involved the excavation
of 100000 cubic yards of material, one-third
of which Exclusive of the tunnel excava-
tom has been solid rock, of something over
160 900 cubic yards per mile.
Too much credit for this work cannot be
given to Horace G.. Burt, president of the
Union Pacific railroad, and his assistants
The excursion was replete with many in
teresting incidents, and the splendid hos
pitality of the Union Pacific officials was
revelation. The newspaper men evinced
their appreciation in many ways, particu.
larry in a resolution of thanks to the Union
Pacific officials, General Passenger Agent
LomaX, and Messrs. DarloW, Park aad
Griffin

Australian Mail. Record Trip,

The most important mail that has left
Australia in years for London recently made
a record-breaking trip. The mail consisted
of 347 sacks and contained many documents
for the British parliament. At Sidney it
was put on board the steamer Ventura
steamship sailing under the American flag
and built only last year for the Oceanic
Steamship company at the Cramps ship
yard in Philadelphia. The trip across the
Pacific occupied just 81 days, the former
time having been 20 days. From San Fran
cisco the mail was hurried east on special
fast trains on the Southern Pacific Ogden
hne), Union Pacific, and Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy railroads, but arrived in
Chicago too late to connect with the fast
mail train of the Lake Shore and New York
Central, which is a 24-hour train from Chi
cago to New York. a special train was made
up and attached to one of the fastest en-
glnes on the Lake Shore line. The regular
train was overtaken at Toledo, and the hour
and half lost time was made up. At Buff
falo the regular train was made into two
sections by the New York Central with the
mail cars, including the Australian mail, in
the first section. New York was reached
three minutes ahead of schedule time At
New York the mail was delivered to the
Campania and that vessel left on regular
time: Barring accidents or unusual delays
1t will be delivered in England in several
days shorter time than ever before

Big Forgery of Railroad Tickets.

AS a result of the arrest, on August Is, of
a ticket brokers' concern at St. Louis,
charged with swindling customer, a gigan-
tic railroad ticket counterfeiting scheme
was uncovered. After the arrest of the
brokers their Office was ransacked and an
immense number of tickets and passes found
1t was almost impossible to place an esti-
mate on the value of the tickets recovered,
but it is stated by railroad authorities that
$4,000 would be a conservative figure. It is
believed that many of the tickets and passes
were forged.
At Buffalo number of ticket scalpers
have already been lodged in jail on account
of fraudulent manipulation and forgery of
railroad tickets. These instances are so
numerous the public should take pains to
see that their. tickets are purchased only
at the authorized offices of transportation
lines. This avoids all complication and
trouble to the passenger and assures him
that the railroad tickets purchased are
valid and will be honored as printed.-Ex-

Manila, Nov. Ga plot to massa.
ere the American garrison at Mon
cada, province of Tarlac, island of
Luzon, has been revealed by the wife
of one of the conspirators. Several
of the town officials were implicated
in the murderous scheme. The woman
who revealed the plot hid detective
beneath a house in which the leaders
of the conspiracy were meeting. Arr
rests followed and many incriminat-
ihgs papers were seized. The plan
was to set fire to a house close to
the barracks after dark, and when the
soldiers came out to assist in extiri-
gushing the flames $50 conspirators,
armed with bolos, were to rush upon
the guard, capture their arms and
proceed to massacre the garrison.
Commissioner Wright Tuesday took
the oath of office as vice governor.
He will be acting governor during the
convalescence of Gov. Taft, who prob
ably will be unable to resume his
duties for some weeks to come.
The federalists are holding a con-
vention to arrange for a petition to
congress asking that body to grant
autonomy to the Philippines, with
governor appointed by the president
of the United States, with veto pow-
er over the two houses, the senate to
consist of 80 members, IA of them to
be named by the governor and IS to
be elected.
In the case of the governor, it is
proposed that his duties shall de-
volve upon the president of the sem
ate, temporarily. The lower house,
according to the proposed plan, shall
consist of representative for each
100000 inhabitants. Finally the feder-
alists desire that every Filipino be
pardoned for political crimes arising
from the war. The sessions of the
federaist convention were noisy and
turbulent. The chairman had diff
Guilty in controlling the convention.
Palermo has been expelled from the
federal party, Buencamino saying that
his union with ISABELLA Reyes for the
formation of another party debarred
him from connection with the fed
eralists. "The petition" Buencam-
mo also said, "to be sent to congress
must be as pure as crystal. 1t would
not be so if Palermo were allowed to
participate in it, Palermo was for
merly the president of the so-ca1led
Filipino cabinet. Buencamino is one
of the directors of the federal party
and was at one time a member of the
so-called Filipino congress.
The wife of Gen. Lukban was the
main cause of the refusal of the Sa-
mar insurgents to surrender. Some
of the principal men who have been
captured are willing that their wives
be held as hostages while they go into
the field for the purpose of persua-
ding their relatives to surrender.

snow in the mountains into which
Miss Stone and her companion were
taken by their captors was three feet
deep three weeks ago, at the time the

scHLEY MOVED TO TEARS.
Rayner's Brilliant and Feeling PerOratIOn
in Closing His Address Was Too Much
for the Rear Admiral.

Washington, Nov. THE climax
of the Schley court of inquiry came
yesterday afternoon when Mr.. Ray
ner, the chief counsel for Admiral
Schley, concluded a brilliant argu-
ment of over three hours with a
peroration so eloquent and impas-
stoned that all within the sound of
his voice were profoundly touched.
This remarkable trial, he said, sought
to condemn the man who had brought
to a successful termination as great
naval triumph as was ever won.
In ivid-col6rs he painted the picture
of the Brooklyn, with Commodore
Schley on the bridge, fighting the en-
tire Spanish fleet until the Oregon
appeared out of the smoke. The
thunders of the Brooklyn, music for
the ears of his countrymen, he said,
aroused Admiral Schley's envious
foes.
AS Mr.. Rayner began his eulogy of
Admiral Schley those in the audience.
many of whom were ladies, leaned
forward in their seats. The spell of
his oratory was over then, and when
he described the admiraIs gallant
deeds and the long persecution to
which he had been subjected many
of them broke down and wept. The
members of the court displayed evil
dences of emotion and Admiral Schley
himself was plainly moved. He sat,
leaning back, with his hands behind
his head. His chin twitched, and as
his counsel said he could afford to

$4,000 Carried Away.

Cincinnati, Nov. 6.-Early Tuesday
burglars broke the big show window
of the Duhme Jewelry company's
store on Fourth street and stole about
$4,000 worth of diamonds. In their
fight they left trail of diamonds
Indicating the direction they took.
The night Waterman who was on the
floor where the robbery took place
says he heard no noise and saw moth
ing of the robbers. The diamonds
stolen were loose in tray and the
burglars are supposed to have taken
advantage of the noise of a passing
wagon or car to break the glass and
seize the tray and run as they over
looked some valuable goods in the
same window.
