MULES FROM NEW ORLEANS. Englund Purchasing In This Country fur Smith Africa. Ou Duard S. 8. Mixttx-xumo, New Or-l-ans, Oct 21. Tomorrow morning this ship will sail for Cape Town, South Africa, with th largest carg.i ,f ;i'-e stink that ever left this country, or fori that matter any other. Among her car go will be 2,029 mule destined tor the use of the British troops in their cam pnlgn against the Hoer. Five hundred; daUd with standing room on the upper, deck. Seven hundred and fifty morei are quartered on the 'twwn deck, and a like number win stew to aeatn on the cattle deck. In front of the Une of mulvs rung a. hay rack and waUr trough, the formef vi which us nu 11 a irom gangway run ning the whole kngth of the ship, while! through the latter, except whin the mules are eating from It their ration ot grain, water Is continually running. To the rear of the line runs, another gangway used for cleaning and bed ding. Each pen, which I nine feet feet wide, contains five mule. The dally ration for each mult Is twelve pounds of hay, five pounds of oat and an equal amount of corn bran and 56 pounds of water. To Insure sufficient supply of fodder the Monte. uma carries thlity-elffht ears of fair No 2 timothy hay, six cars of oats and eight of bran. Their drink will be Mississippi river water, 3.000 tons of which are stiyyed In the thirteen water tight compartments Into which the hold is divided. This water also serves as ballast to counteract the heavy deck load, so as fast a the tank Is emptied It will be refilled with sen. water In order to keep the vtwel on an even keel. As far tin comfort Is concerned, the mules on1 the upper dock will have much the best of their companions be low, but their position, should the boat encounter a bud storm, Is dangvrous, for If no', washed overboard by heavy seas thoy would probably be sacrificed to Insure the safety of the ship, though If the voyage Is a calm one fully 90 per cent of these should be safely landed. Those on the 'tween deck will get a reasonable amount of air and will be safe In heavy weather, so probably SO per cent of them will live to trend African soil. But though over fifty tons ot sawdust has been used to Insulate the boilers, the heat of tho cattle deck when passing throuph the tropics will be Intense, so It Is not probable that over a third of its occupants will sur vive the voyage.

R. ft N. and it connec tions are placing In operation a much better grade of tourist sleeper for Pa cini coet service than at any prevlou time. The largely Increased traffic to Ihl section of the country ha demand ed all the Improvements of latter-day transportation, and In consideration of thl the railroads are establishing a service which Is excellent In every par ticular, Not only are the wishee ot first -does passenger served, but those who are traveling to and from the East on second-claw tickets are splendidly cared for. There wa a time when a tourist sleeper appealed to a limited number of people who were traveling on the "cheap" order, in every meaning of the term. Now, however, there ha been a radical change. With the bet ter tourist sleeper in operation thr class of passengers has been Improved, and one may now travel upon them and enjoy all the privilege of a first class sleeper at a great el y reduced rate.
