ENGLISH RAILWAY SERVICE.
pared with American, German and French.

In every respect the United States is superior to England-comparin like with ike-but what is more nota- ble, in Germany and France railway travel is cleaner, more speedy, and cheaper. No week passes that I do not run out from London for country air, and wherever I find train that reaches it's destination on time I make note of it as strange thing, writes Poultney Bigelow, in New York Independent. There are one or two trains that run fairly fast, &C., cording to British notions, and are tolerably good, owing to a faint de- gree of competition, but in the ma jority of cases the EngliShnan is sat isfed to travel 25 miles an hour in dirty carriages which are not heated in winter and which are habitually late in starting and arriving. And as to overcrowdipg, have frequently found myself in railway carria ges wherein passengers have had to stand up all the way after having paid their fares. So far as my experience goes, I can travel with more speed and com fort in German third-class carriage from Berlin to any big town like Hamburg, Frankfort or Cologne than in a first-class carriage in England, and it will cost me about one-ffth of the English price.

TROOPS TO WAR ON RATS.
General Chaffce Takes Steps to Pre-. vent Spreading of tke Plague
 in the Philippines.

The rat problem in the Philippines has now become so important that for a time the American soldier will turn his attention to fighting them instead of insurgents. In Manila 1s1 per cent. of the rats captured were found in- fected by plague, and it is to remove this menace to health and safety of the American troops that orders have been issued by Gen. Chaffee to ex- terminate the rats, says Washington report.
 So far the plague has been kepi down by rigid sanitary rules, and a constant warfare against the rats. but Gen. Chaffee, to guard against an epi. demic of the disease, has issued an or der, in which he calls the attention of commanding officers and all others re- sponsible for the care of troops to the absolute necessity for the extermin a. t1on of rats in barracks, quarters and other buildings occupied by officers and enlisted men and civilian employees, and for the immediate disinfection of such buildings, if plague rats are dis covered therein,
 He advises that they be killed by the use of poison, the principal component of which is arsenic, and gives minute directions for carrying on campaign, and for the disinfection of dead rats by immersion in solution of carbolic acid.

 This proxnises to be an interesting week in the house. The olecmargarine bill was taken up under special orders today, and after 1t Is disposed of, which probably will be tomorrow, the bill for the repea1 of the war revenue taxes will follow While both sides are unanimous in favor of the repeal of these taxes, it is the intention of the Democrats to open up the whole tarin question during the debate on this bill, and they will make strong fight for ample time for discussion. The question of Cuban reciprocity is also likely to be delaated at length, as members on both sides of the house are anxious to define their positions. The friends of the oleomargarine bill have no doubt of its passage. The bill is practically the old Grout bill inn posing a tax of 10 cents pound on products colsred in initiation of but ter and to make retail dealers who color oleemargarina subject to the same penalties as the manufacturers.
