ONE UNSETTLED QUESTION-Thsre
was & mad race across the country yestor-
day between the special newspaper trains
Of the Baltimore g. Ohio and the Pennsy'-
vanis lines The Pennsylvania had na6c
the better time. but the supply Of liquid
goods gave out soon after the special train
left Chicago The Baltimore & Ohio snecif
travelled more slowly but the supply Of
liquids was adequate, and the meals we've
unanimously voted the best ever eaten on @
railroad train
Now The question has arisen between
the champions Of the respective roads

as did the Pennsylvania special and 70

nation There is so much difference Of
opinion on the subject that it seems IN
likely TO be settled until another four years
shall have passed and Il becomes necessary
again to conduct similar race.

Parker has been receiving for temporary
chairman. Uncle Henry" may again have
an eye on the Vice Presidential nomination
