THIRD DAYS JOURNEY.
residential Train Speeds Home
ward Without Exciting Incident

iresluent1al Train Speeds Home
ward Without Exciting Incident.
JULESBURG, Colo, May 2S.-The
presidential train made the third days
run on the homeward journey without
incident. The trip across Wyoming was
at an average elevation of over 900 feet,
and at Sherman, just before the train be-
gan to descend the eastern slope of the
Rocky mountains, the elevation exceeded
1000 feet. Brief stops were made for
water and to change engines at Rawlins,
Laramie and Cheyenne, Wy, and Kim
ball and Sidney, Neb. The president
made no remarks at any of these places,
but he appeared on the rear platform and
shook hands with some of those nearest
the car. There were crowds at every sta
ton along the route, and every cattle
ranch had its little group of cowboys sit
ting bolt upTight on their horses and
waving their sombreros as the train
went by.
Mrs. Mckinley is standing the trip
very well and seems rejoiced that every
hour brings her nearer home. The wealth
er has been exceedingly pleasant, and
that means much for her comfort Ar
rangements for running the presidents
train from Chicago to Washington have
been completed. The train will arrive at
the national capital at 1880 Thursday
morning. A slow run will be made from
Omaha to Chicago, timed to have the
train arrive there early tomorrow morn
ing instead of late at night.

land coal mine of the Dayton Coal and
Iron company at 5 o'clock yesterday aft

In the shaft the work has been slow and
tedious. The mine is a new one and
extends about 1000 feet
The explosion is thought to have been
caused by an open lamp carried by one
of the miners. The mine is several miles
from Dayton, and details are difficult to
obtain. An explosion similar to this oc-

An Eighteen-Hour recitation.

Prof. Arlini, of Naples, has just per-
formed a remarkable feat. Some time
ago he offered to make a bet that he
could recite the whole of Dante's
Divine Comedy" by heart. His abil-
ity to do this was doubted, and his
wager was taken up. A select au-
dience was invited to hear the pro-
lessor, who acclaimed from eight
o'clock in the evening until two
o'clock the next afternoon. The re-
otter stopped occasionally, but it was
not because he had forgotten the
poem; it was simply to moisten his
tongue with sugared water. He won
his wager, for the audience had to
confess that he got through the $4,000
verses, more or less, of which the
poem is composed, without the least
difficulty.

BRITISH PRESS COMMENT.
APPROVAL OF LORD LANsDoWNEs ACTION on
THE TREATY.


THE TREATY.
London March 12-The morning papers ex-
press approval Of Lord Lansdowne's reply to the
amendment of the United States Senate to the
ay-Pauncafote Treaty. All repudiate any
feeling save a friendly desire arrive at an
amicahIe and equitable settlement. The Times
says:
could have accepted the travesty of a bargain
which President Mckinley and Secretary Hay
asked us to conclude. influential men and
newspapers in the United States have admitted
the rcasonableness of the British attitude and
in the Senate weiGhty voices have been
raised against such petulant rhetoric Mr..
Morgans.
We have reason therefore to expect Lord Lans-
downes dispatch to commend itself to the JUS
tice and fair play of the Americans. He has
left the responsibility for further action where
it ought to lie 1t is for the Washington Gov
ernment to make new oyertures. We shall he
ready to assent to reasonable notifications of
the clayton -Bulwer Treaty when there is fair
proba bity that the Senate will accept our CON
CesSiOnS in the spirit in which they are offered.
Until that time arrives We have ground for
dissatisfaction with our legal position, a posi-
tion we do not intend to abandon except upon
terms concerted in friendly manner with our
selves.
This extract from The Times fairly repre-
sents the general opinion. The Daily Chron-
iCle.' which thinks that President MCkinley'S 5
lack of firmness is blamable for the present po-
sition of affairs says it will be best for both
peoples to seek to forget unfortunate diplo-
matte incident"
The Standard observes:
Well informed American opinion must have
been prepared for this result. There has been
some wild and rather absurd talk in Washing
ton but il is satisfactory TO find that the views
of the extremists and mischief mongers have
made no sensible impression upon their country
men The interests of the two nations do not
really clash and doubtless a solution will he
found in the early resumption of friendly nego-
tlations.
The Daily News" which asks why the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty should not he quietly abro-
gated by the consent of both parties. goes on to
say:
Although Lord Salisbury could not submit 10
the Senates arbitrary and dictatorial methods,
British rights under the treaty are not of over
to make herself more vulnerable by construct
ing the canal there is no reason why England
should hinder her The question can be treated
separately or as part of larger scheme for the
settlement of all outstanding differences be-
tween the two countries.
The Daily Telegraph" remarks:
There is little doubt that the United States
Senate would adopt resolution abrogatng the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty. 1t is fortunate, there
fore, that the adjournment OF the Senate Will
give both governments a welcome delay and
prevent preciptate action.
