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 a trip on the Wyoming di-
yision,. The Overland Route" for the pur-
pose OF viewing the stupendous engineering
achievements recently made on that line
Ihe train was made up of two private
cara. three Pullman palace sleepers, dining
car, drawn by one of the new compound en-
gines, with an observation car-constructed
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 80. AZ
miles, and reducing gradients which varied
from 45.4 to 976S feet to the mile to a maxi
mum OF 49, feet, and curves from to de-
grees, while great deal of bad curvature
has been eliminated entirely.
n mountain removed and lost into a
chasm; huge holes bored hundreds of feet
through solid granite, an underground river
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-
ing unnecessary curves, and the construc-
tion of several cutoffs between Buford and
Bear river, Utah.
The curvature saved ia about one-half
the grading about the same, while the angles
are reduced nearly two-tkirds. 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 (433 feet)
ove~ mountain attitudes.
From constructive standpoint the line
10 remarkable for the amount of material
required in the construction of immense
embankments and the building of large
tunnels through solid rock. The construc-
tion 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-
tlon) has been solid rock, of something over
10000 cubic yards per mile.
Too much credit for this work cannot be
gwen 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 a
revelation. The newspaper men evinced
their appreciation in many ways, particu-
larry in resolution of thanks to the Union
Pacific officials, General Passenger Agent
Lomax, and Messrs. Darlow. Park and
, Griffin.

THE WHALING FLEET.
Ships that Wiutered In the Arctic Re-
gions Did Not Catch Many Rig Fish.

San Francisco, Sept. 1S.-In let
ter that was carried by native cou-
riers across the wilderness of the
north, from the mouth of the Macken-
zie river to Edmonton and thence by
rail to this city, the first news re-
ceived this year from the whalers
who wintered in the Arctic region is
at hand. The letter was written by
Capt. Hoffman, of the schooner Pene-
lope. The whaling vessels that win
tered in the Arctic were the steamers
Narwhal, Beluga and Bowhead and
the schooner Penelope. The last pre-
vious information from any of these
vessels was received last fall, the ves-
sells having been spoken in August of
last year.
The letter just received reports
that on April 1 last, the Narwhal's
total catch was five whales, the Bow
head five, the Beluga seven and the
Penelope none. 1t is probable that
the Beluga and Narwhal will come

w. j. BRYAN'S TRIBUTE.
Democratic Leader Says tho Tragedy
at Buffalo E1alts Its Victims Place
I'm Hiatory.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 1s.-A tribute
from William j. Bryan to the dead
president was given to the press yes
terday.
Quoting the words of Maj. McKin-
ley, Gods will, not ours, be done,"
Mr.. Bryan recalled the pathetic
scenes at the death bed and contin-
ued:
THE terrible deed at Buffalo, rude
ly breaking the ties of family and
friendship and horrifying every patri-
otic citizen, crowns most eXtraordi-
nary life with a halo that exalts it's
victims place in history, while his
bravery during the trying ordeal, his
forgiving spirit and his fortitude in
the final hours give glimpses of his in
ner life which nothing less tragic
could have revealed. Sad as is the
death of Mckinley, the illustrious
citizen, it is the damnable murder of
Mckinley, the president, that melts
75,0O0,000 hearts into one and brings
hush to the farm, the factory and

tic railroad ticket counterfeitinp scheme
was uncovered. After the arrest of the
brokers their Office was ransacked and an

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-

Steamer Lusitania On the Rocks
Off Cape Ballard.
The VESSEL MAY PROVE TOTAL WRECK
The Passenger Mostly Emigrauts,
Landed After II PanicLy Time
An Unconfrmcd Report that One
BoafIoad was Upset and Twenty
People Drowned.

St. Johns,N. F.,June 26.-The Orient
Steam Navigation Co.'S steamer Lusi-
tania, Capt. McNay, from Liverpool,
June is, for Montreal, having 500 pas
enger on board, was wrecked Tues
day night off Cape Ballard.
The Lusitania was bound round
Cape Race for Montreal, with a large
cargo and a shipload of passengers.
She mistook her purse in a dense
fog and went ashore near Renews, 20
miles north of Cape Race, before day
break. The ship ran over a reef and
hangs against a cliff. The passengers,
who are mostly emigrants, were panic
stricken. They stampeded and fought
for the boats, but were overcome by
the officers and crew. The rougher
element among the passengers used
knives. The women and children
were first landed and the men fol-
lowed. The crew stood by the ship.
A heavy sea was running, but at lat
est advices the Lusitania was holding
her own. 1t was thought likely, how
ever. that she would prove a total
wreck.
The disaster occurred miles from
the nearest telegraph station and
the details obtainable at this time
are meagre. Several steamers are
fitting out here to go to the scene of
the wreck. 1t is expected that the
large cargo of the Lusitania will be
~salvaged.
As this dispatch is being sent an
unconfrmed report has reached here
that a boatload of people from the
Lusitania was upset and that 20 per-
sons were drowned.
Cape Ballard as cabled from st.
Johns,is situated on the coast of New
foundland, about sixty miles south of
St. Johns.
The Lusitania was built at Liver
pool, by Laird Brothers, in 1871. She
is $40 feet 0 inches long, has Al feet
3 inches beam, and is p feet Z inches
