An P-uliipn tiiinlrni
Commenting on the approach
ing completion of the 2STorthcrn
Pacific railroad, the N. Y. Tribune
sas: The feeling with which the
public will regard the event will
contrast strongly with the
memorable rejoicing when the
Union and Central Pacific roads
were formalhT united. There is
nothing marvelous in this change
of feeling. The first great vistory
over natural obstacles was hailed
as a national triumph; but the
new Pacific road stands on a dif
ferent footing. When the South
ern Pacific was completed to a
junction with the Atchinson,Topeka
and Santa Fe, at Doming, the new
line was regarded merclv as a
commercial enterprise, not as an
achievement essential lo national
unity. So the third completed
route, of which the last rail was
laid August 2od, in the far north,
close to the British boundary, is
commonly considered only in its
commercial and industrial rela
tions. Whether there is now, or
is likelv soon lo be, business
enough for three distinct trans
continental lines, is not quite so
clear as some persons would like
to have it. The general belief
that we have been building too
many railroads, and that these
enterprises are perhaps some years
in advance of the public ncods,
prevents anything like enthusiasm
at the completion of the work.
Men of foresight, however, see
that the nation is grcath strength
ened by these new arteries of
communication, one close to its
southern aud the other close
-to its northern boundary. In,
the event of any war it will
no longer be dependent upon a
single central route, possibby
blocked by snow, for transporta
tion of troops and supplies. If
assailed from the north or from
the south it can move its forces
with rapidity to any threatened
point. If one road bound the na
tion together, three will give it a
vastly increased hold upon busi
ness and interests of the popula
tion adjoining us on the north and
south. Mexico is already feeling
the influences of American enter
prise. Its richest regions can now
be reached more easily from
Washington than from the city of
Mexico, and they have no com
mercial outlets except through the
Un:tcd states. In a measure sim
ilar results have already followed
in the Dominion of Canada.. Set -tiers
along the entire line from the
Lake of the Woods to Vancouver
island have as yet no better com
munication with the outer world
than by the United States rail
roads, and when the brandies are
completed connecting with the
Canadian Pacific lle system will
be drawn into even closer intor-
wuuc mm iiiu jicujjic ui iHUIIUl-
na and Washington Territory.
Thus the new arteries of trade,
whether financially beneficial to
the projectors or not, will tend
powerfully to bring the whole con
tinent more under the influence of
tho republic and their completion
may well be recognized as events
of national importance which will
be more fully appreciated ten
years hence than they are now.
Ax old operator thus tells how
cable messages are received: "I
don't suppose you know how the
messages arc received over the
cables? No. Well, it is alto
gether different from this tick,
tick, tick. The operators there sit
in dark rooms. The messages
ome as little electric sparks; the
letters are known by the length of
the flash. These men go blind at
the end of fifteen years, and are
pensioned in England but uoth
ing is done for them' here. They,
are not even paid airy better than
we are."

Lieut. Storer has reached St
Michael's, Alaska, on his way to
St. Lawrence bay, with guns and
ammunition presented by the
government to the Indians there,
in testimonial of appreciation of
their humane treatment of the crew
of tho burned Rogers; but Alaska
traders are raising such a hue and
cry about the suppbying of arms
to savages in the Siberiun straits
that the lieutenant reports the
facts, and is awaiting further in
structions. Traders complain that
the Indians at St. Lawrence bay
will sell their- weapons .to Indians
at Cupe Prinoe of Wales, and
finally the arms will reach the
Indians about Sr. Michaels; and uli
the traders will be massacred.
The lieutenant thinks that the St.
Lawrence bay Indians will be anx
ious to hold on to their guns when
they get them, but even if rliey
did trade them off the probability
of their getting across the ?ir.tU
and down the const as ;ar a
Michaels is extremely ?mall, but!
will await further orders. lib will
have to wait until Secretary ChdfcV
dler nets back.
It now takes twenty-six limirs
and fifty-five minutes to go front
New York to Chicago via the
"Chicago Limited." it is thought
that the distance ought to be made
in ninetoen hours, aud it is said
that the experiment will shortly be
made. That would lie traveling
at the rate of forty-eight miles an
hour, stoppages included.
It is believed 100,000 persons
perished in Java in the recent
earthquake. It is also believed
that the garrison and fort at Anjer
were swept away. An extensive
plain of volcanic stone lias formed
in the sea near Latnperg Samoha,
preventing communication wit!
Tclokbclonir and southwest .lava.

A working woman testified the
other day Wfore the Senatorial
Labor Committee, which is now in
New York investigating the labor
question, that there wero 5,000
women in New York City alone
who were out of work and would
be glad to get employment on any
