Dorsey, once United States Senator from Arkansas, and noted for his connection with the great star route scandal many years ago. Is now In southern California with a view to recovering his lost fortunes. Mr. Dorsey Is interested In a mining prop erty \\ hicli, he believes, If properly worked, will pan out well. Dorsey was at one time one of the most prominent public men In the country. Before he was Involved in the star route case and lost all his money he was said to have been a man that could make and unmake presidents. Ills tirst appear ance on the political horizon was made lu Arkansas after the war. A native of Vermont, he was 18 when the wat broke out, and he served under Grant at SI 1 II 0 I 1 and took part in many of the big battles of the civil strife. When The race-course was between the Old World and the New. The racers were telegraph companies. One was called the "Russian Overland;" the other was the “Atlantic Cable.” The track of the "Russian” lay be tween New Westminster in British Columbia, and Moscow in Russia. Up through the unexplored Fraser River Valley it was to run, then on through the uutrucked wilderness of Alaska, across Bering Strait, over the timber- less steppes of Arctic Siberia, and «long the dreary coast of the Okhotsk Sea to the mouth of the Amoor. There the American racers, called " Western Union.” were to give over the race to the Russian telegraph department, which was to make Its best time in renehlng Moscow. Western Union said It would cover the ground In about two years. The eost would he about five millions of dollars; hut what wa five mllllous of dollars If the prize could be won—au electric girdle of the earth? The path of the “Atlantic” cable w as to be on a tableland some two miles deep In the ocean, reaching from Ireland to Newfoundland. The summer of 1805 found the world watching this race with great inter est. It opened when the fleet of the Russian expedition set sail i'ium Snn Francisco, northward bound. The “Atlantic” people at the same time were stowing aw ay gigantic coils of cable Into the capacious hold of the “Great Eastern”—a new cnble some 2,000 miles long. The Western Union directors were shrewd business men. Five millions of dollars was little in comparison wiih the benefit they could receive could they get telegraphic communication with Europe, and they then believed that the only way was by land. The public agreed with them nearly unani mously. And so the two projects—the overland and the submarine— were pitted against each other. A very unequal race It seemed at the outset. The Overland was strong and vigorous. The Atlantic was broken by former failures. The Overland was popular, and had plenty of money back of It; the Atlantic was derided, and “only fools,” 1‘ was said, “would invest In it.” The fleet of the Russinn expedition which sailed from San Francisco in the summer of 1865 was quite a navy. There were rcean steamers, sailing- vessels, coast and river boats, and Russian and American ships of the line, with a promise of a vessel from her Majesty's navy. The expedition was well officered, and about 120 men were enlisted—men of superior ability in every department. The supplies embraced everything that could be needed. Thousands of tons of wire, some 300 miles of cable. Insulators, wagons, etc. August 26, 1SCG, the Great Eastern landed Its cable at Trinity Bay and the whole world was electrified by the news that It worked perfectly — that the victory had beeu won. More than that. The Great Eastern not long afterward picked up the cable lost the year before, and that. too. • was soon In working order. T w o electric girdles had been clasped around iha earth. The success of the “Atlantic” was defeat for the “Russian." Au overland telegraph line could never compete with the submarine cables. The first triumphant “click, click!” at Trinity Bay was therefore the death-blow of (he Russian scheme, and all work con nected with that project was at once abandoned. But the workers—the brave men fac ing famine among the wild Cbook- chees—burled in their lonely huts wait ing for some news from their com rades. or «training every nerve to com plete their share of the great w o r k - how pathetic that so many of them did not hear what had happened, in some eases for more than a year after the success of the cable!—Jane Marsh Parker In St. Nicholas. ex - sen ator D o r s e t . peace was restored he went to Arkan sas and became a promoter of big en terprises. He organized a $1.000,000 eattle company in New Mexico and was in the very flush of his fortune when the storm of the star route scandal burst upon him and swept him off his feet. In defending himself in that cele brated case he spent all the wealth he had accumulated and emerged from the clouds of the storm wrecked in for tune and ruined in health. kO f recent years he has made his home lu Denver and has been casting about for means of rehabilitating himself. He has just been to London, where he secured cap ital enough to float his enterprise, and his prospects at the present time are bright. Tlie mining property in which Dorsey is interested is located in Pica cho, near Yuma. He will build a 100- stamp mill and a railroad to the Colo rado river. OVER 30 Y E A R S IN C O N G R E S S .

When the hilt is cocked into position, two triggers, concealed in the stock, come forth, and then the weapon is ready for business, with both barrels and twelve Inches of cold steel.
