He Intimate thut a Parlflc Cable Line May rSoia be Unlit. San Francisco Post. , The Alaskan trip Is declared by Mr. Mackay and his two traveling .companions to bayo been one of pleasure and not of business, though It is not denied that Mr. Mackay contemplates the extension of his telegraph. system throughout the West and J'orth. and during his present trip is keepliT his eyes open. - "Oi-r trip Is purely one of pleasure," said Mr.-,Hosmer. speaking' for Mr. Mackay, but we aro looking forward to the day in the 'not far distant future when the pacific ocean will be spanned bv a cable and direct telegraphic communication ' established between this coast, the Hawaiian islands and the Orient:- Nothing will help to stimulate the business of this. coast so much :is a cable across the Iaclflc ocean. When the business men of this coast can send a message to Japan or China for 50 or 7i cents a word Instead of $3 or 1.35 I believe the rate Is as high as that there will be such a revival and increase of business as was never dreamed of before." Mr. Hosmer fa one of the foremost men dlrecoly identified with tho large telegraph interests of the country, and his opinion that the laying of a Pacific cable will be realized some day In the near future will b regarded with considerable weight. He did not say that Mr. Mackay was interesting himself in the colossal enterprise, but he Intimated as much. "Mr. Mackey Is no Ijnjrer known as the benanza king." he said. "He looms up to-day as the largest Individual owner of telegraph property in the world. He hs. alone and almost unassisted, built up the only successful eomivtition ever waged acalnst the Western Union. lie has put his own private capital into the Investment year after year, and is still rvntlnulng to do so. The ner future will be full of surprises, both in the establishment And extension of telegraph and cable lines." When !kel 'about the reontedj intention of the Western I'nion to -tfr.iVI ra telegraph line to Alaska. Mr. ITosmor sail h was inclined to doubt tlie iVrttNtt the rf pert. - IWuJ I "We are five hundred or lx hundred mil's nearer Alaka than the Union Pacifla"d if any line is built to Alaska 1 imagine that we-will be the ones to build it. We have a line running some distance north from Ashoft. on the main line of the Canadian Pacific, to a place called Barkerville. That Is nearer than the Western Union will get far some time. "The Vc3tern ln!on has hid some experience in stringing wlre,s up In the Yukon country- It is a matter of history that lupt before the "successful Uying of the Atlantic cable the Western Union considered the idea of effecting telegraph!? moans cf a line to Alaska, a cible across Bering strait and a telegraph line through Liberia. They were actively engaged in ihf work of construction loth in Siberia and on this side of the ocean when th news of the successful laying of the Atlantic cable was proclaimed to the world. The Western Union forthwith abandoned nil Its operations after squandering over JW.vjo.kx) in the enterprife. That's how George Kennan happened t; go to Liberia. He went there first as a telegraph operator, and it was while there- that he gathered all h'.a lnformatijn about Siberian prisons, which he afterward put into print. Some of our mV-u still find traces of the line which the Western Union built at that time through ths Yukon caun-' rv. "No. I do not anticipate that a telegraph lin to Alaska will be built In the near future.' A much more colossal enterprise, the Hying of a Pacific cable, will precede it."

AURORA. 111., Aug. 16.-Chicaso & Northwestern passenger train, leaving Aurora at 4:30 p. m., bound for Chicago, ran through an cpen switch at the b'.eachery. about a mile north of this city, and coTded with some freight cars on the siding. The passengers were thrown aboul the cars with great force, but none rece.vcd serious injury. Ten bo?s Were 'standing on one of the freight cars; - One tf these was kIKed and five badly, hurt.. The. car .was loaded with sulphuric acid., which .spilled and burned all the boys more or less. The casualties are: THOMAS RUSH, aged fifteen, burned to death by acid and steam. CHARLIE CHILVEKS, will die. WM. FARRELL. burned and cut. ALBERT HIPPE. badly cut and burned. HENRY HOLDER, cut and burned. ARTHUR ROBINSON, badly injured. FRED ROBINSON, cut and burned. Mrs. Nancy Smith, of Chicago, and Mrs. Vanderwert. of Chicago, sustained painful but not eerlous injuries. Five Train Men Injured. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 16. The engine and baggage car of the north-bound passenger train on the Cotton-belt road was ditched last night at Stamps station. Ark. The train ran through an open switch and the engine, baggage and mail car rolled down an embankment. No passengers were hurt. Train hands were injured as follows; Webb Engul. engineer, badly bruised inside and on body; Dean, fireman, badly bruised; W. J. McCabe, express messenger, leg broken; Cleveland, mall clerk, arm dislocated; J. P. Bland, Pullman conductor, fractured ankle. Collapse of a Buildtnjr. DENVER, Aug. 16. The two-story brick building at Santa Fe and Ninth avenues, known as the O'Donnell block, collapsed to-day without warning. The following persons were injured: Mrs. Miller, hit on head by bricks; Fred Miller, six months old, severely bruised; Capt. E. V. Williams, manager of the Rocky Mountain carriage works, arm cut and severely shocked. Just what caused the accident is not known, but it is supposed that the heavy rains loosened the roof supports, drawing the sidewalk to the center. The damage amounts to about $10,000. Three "Women Burned.. MEMPHIS. Aug. 16. Just before daylight this morning a double log house, near Arlington, this county, occupied by Mrs. Callle Harrell, her two grown daughters and a son. was burned to the ground, and Mrs. Harrell and the two girls perished in the flames. The son, who occupied a room in the rear of the building, barely escaped with his life. It is thought the women were drugged before the fire was set, as log houses burn very slowly, and they should have waked up In time to escape. The re-; mains were burned to a crisp. FUTURE MOTIVE POWER. The Horse, the Bicycle and the Electrical Carriage. Detroit Free Press. Friends of the horse will be thankful to Mr. Wlllits for his assurance that the noble animal is not going to be displaced by the bicycle or the electric car. We art not at all sure, however, that they will be impressed with the force of the reasons he gives for the faith that Is In him. His belief that the bicycle is not going to be permanent is not very widely shared; and the vision he sees of woodsheds filled with spavined bicycles Is not visible to the general eye. The assumption that men In the long run are too indolent to be their own motive power is a gratuitous one. The evidence is wholly wanting to sustain it. Unless we are very much mistaken there has been for many years a growing fondness on the part of both men and women for physical exercise: and the average man or woman is less indolent to-day than fifty years ago. This Is indicated not only by the growing popularity of the bicycle but by the increased addiction to all athletic exercises and games. It is not the bicycle which has stimulated the people to unusual physical activity; but the Increased physical activity which has occasioned the resort to the bicycle. It Is an effort rather than a cause; and as we see no reason why the r cause should dtminish we can see none for the prospective diminution of the effect. Even if the bicycle had not shown Its adaptability to the wants of both sexes we should venture the prediction that it has come to stay. Used as it is by both, there can be no doubt about it. It may nevertheless be that the horse wdll not be seriously affected by the increased use of the bicycle, though it hardly seems likely that the demand for the horse will not be diminished. The reat danger to the horse seems to us to e in the electric carriage which can be used, as the bicycle cannot, for the transportation not only of indolent people, but of heavy loads. The experiments which have been made show conclusively that the era is approaching of electricity and the storage battery on common roads; when that use is once established there must Inevitably be an Immense number of horses thrown out of commission. The single fact that a storage battery costs nothing when not in use is alone sufficient to insue Its substitution sooner or later for the horse, even if there were not other almost equally marked advantages like cleanliness, etc. The horse may resist the encroachments of the bicycle for a good while, and probably will do so. But when the electric carriage becomes established upon a practicable and economical basis, the horse will have to go. We regret it not only as a rriend of the horse, but on Mr. Willlts's account; but the regret Is unavailing. CHAT WITH 31. AND It EC. The Man Who Is to Go to the Xorth Pole in n Balloon. New York Herald (Paris Edition.) Talking about the north pole may be a refreshing subject on a warm day If you are In the shade. It Js not, however, if you are writing notes in the hot sun. But this is what a Herald correspondent did the other day In talking to M. S. A. Andrce, who proposes to go to the north pole In a balloon. The subject of the Interview is a tall, well-developed man, no , superfluous flesh, light mustr.che, well-set chin, and clear blue eyes. His movements are quiet and betoken action, and his step is firm and springy and seems to Indicate rerolve coupled with confidence and buoyancy of spirit. Wrhen he talks he does not apparently think of himself his mind is fixed on the object in view. In appearance he is neat and tidy. He wears en his gold watch chain a ring, a gold heart and a locket. "No."' said M. Andree. "I cannot say that it is a dream of my life, exactly, this trip to the north pole. What led me to It was this: When I was on my way to America in 1876, and studying the laws of the winds, I observed the regularity of the trade wdnds and decided that it would be very ea?y to cross the Atlantic by their aid in a balloon. I have made many hundreds of calculations how to cross the Atlantic in that way, and I cannot understand why this has not been tried before. When I arrived In America I began to study aerostatics and endeavored to make a balloon ascension. In this I never succeeded. I returned subsequently to Sweden and then gave up the idea of balloon voyages for a while. "Why? Simply because they don't have balloons in that country and because I hadn't the money. Finally I went up with Celt!, in Sweden, for about an hour, and this was followed by another trip with the same aeronaut, and at last came aid from an unexpected quarter. This was from a fund calied the 'Lars HJertas Minne. The principal trustees of this fund were U. Retzlua. a well-known Swedish anatomist; Anna Retzlus and her sister Lind. Mr. Betzius married a daughter of Lara HJertas, and It was owing to these K;nJ friends that I got a start for buying my first balloon, and then 1 got help from the Swedish Academy of Science for the purpose of making researches. 4 "My balloon to the north pole will not be the biggest in the world. Do you' need a Great Eastern to cross the Atlantic? "There are lots of curious Ideas entertained about this proposed voyage. A critic . is reported to have said: 'It's ail very well to get there, but you won't get back.' Now I am not going to try to pet back the same way I came. I sh.i'.l pass over, landing, probably, near Bering sea. Some have said: 'You will get In a sort of maelstrom at the pole and you will never get out Now, if all the winds rush to the north pole and continued to do so the case would be different. But what are the facts? In 1SS2-83 there were expeditions to th polar regions to watch the transit of Venus and make observations at thirteen different places. I was with the party at Spltrbergen with Mr. Ekholm. Observations were taken for every hour in the day

for a year, and the reports of all tho expeditions went to show that the winds which went toward the pole alss passed over it on the other side. Hence a balloon which goes with the wind will als pas over the other side. I do not say there are not storms at the north pole. There are undoubtedly storms there as e!se-.vhre. . -"But all depends upon the start. I shall wait for a southerly wind, fresh and steady, which will take me very quickly, into the polar regions. Under favorable cond.tlns. should reach the pole in forty-three hours from the start. Then the balloon may go to Siberia or elsewhere I don't care rher?. The great task will have ben accomplished. But if I start with the proper wind, brik and fresh, it is impossible not to have a good voyage. This has o be walte.l for. You never see a wind diminish when the barometer falls. A tr;$t wind, however blowing, but with the barometer ris.ng, would force me to wait for a better wind. The winds at the edge of the po'.ar regions are running In such directions that they thow that the wind for the central part of the polar region will not b exceptional in any way. "Although the texture of the balloon Is not yet decided on. the kind of gas is quite settled. It will be hydrogen, and I shall make It myself at Spitsbergen, taking there the necessary materials. I may tell you that the majority of aeronauts favor my undertaking. There are some, however, who say that my cocoa fiber guile ropes are not sutllclont, and that I should use steel ones, because the crystals of ice would destroy a fiber rope in a few days. But what a curious bit of advice! In summer there are no Ice crystals. The ice and glaciers are covered with snow, and, as the sun is always shining and the snow melts, you have a mixture formed, but there are no crystals at all. Now, steel guide ropes, when traversing water, would sink, and the balloon would also be depressed cocoa fiber ropes, however, will float. But if a guide rope is used up after awhile I have others to supply any damage received. "A balloon cannot be steered with a sail, because It moves with the same velocity as the wind, but if you use a guile rope the velocity of the wind will be diminished. Now, by placing a sail obliquely to the wdnd the course of the baloon will be deviated. I have made experiments In Sweden last year and I have deviated my balloon with a very little sail on an average of .21 degrees from the direction of the wind on each side of the balloon."

A SCANDALOUS STORY. The Bannock Indian Affair Reviewed A Shnme to L'. New York Commercial Advertiser. Unless the ofli?lal report of Indian Agent Teter to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs relative to the alleged rising of tho Bannocks in Wyoming Is to be treated as a; scandalous fiction the history of the case is one of the most disgraceful in the whole annals of Indian and white relations. It is scarcely less disgraceful lo the white men concerned in it than the crimes attributed to the Indians themselves by the early settlers. Had the situation been reversed and the white men the prisoners instead cf being the captors, the country would be ringing with Indignation over the treacherous cruelty of the savages and demanding exemplary punishment. According to the report a hunting party of nine Indians, with their families, was discovered in camp upon the banks of a stream in Uinta county, Wyoming, by a body of armed settlers numbering twentyseven. The Indians were surrounded and made to surrender their arms. The party was then divided, the men being sent forward under guard and the women traveling in the tear. As they approached a clump of woods an order was given to load up all the weapons.. Upon sight of the preparations the women set up a wall, not unnaturally supposing that the men were about to be executed. Hearing this and reaching the same conclusion the latter suddenly made a break for the woods. They were completely unarmed; thejr families were held as hostages, and there was not the slightest rigat on the side of the settlers to molest them in the first instance. Nevertheless, at the first movement of the flying prisoners the crowd opened fire. One Indian fell dead, another dropped, shot through the body, and the rest escaped. The women scattered with the children, all meeting again next day. Two children were missing, besides the two men. The survivors made their way back to their reservation, falling in with friendly Indians on the way, who gave them food. The wounded Indian was found alive by the troops Seventeen days later. He had subsisted on the little food he had when shot. One of the missing children was found; the other undoubtedly died. T This official r.arratlve to be fully appreciated must be read In the light of the fact that the Indians were bent upon a perfectly peaceful mission and were entitled by their treaty with the United States to be where they were when captured by the whites. They had committed no hostile act and meditated none. When fired upon they had given no offense and were unarmed. Ia short, no element was lacking to make the butchery as disgraceful and cowardly as possible. Cowardice, indeed, characterized the affair throughout, for the settlers having provoked the Indians to a general massacre were now seized with a panic, expecting every day to hear of an uprising to avenge the murders. No such uprising occurred, but the terrors of their guilty consciences spurred the murderers to appeal for help, which duly arrived in the form of troops. Agent Teter now warns the department through the commissioner that these Indians are determined to hunt again after the harvest. If they do there will probably be real trouble for the settlers. Heretofore in our relations with them It is notorious that the Indians have come off second best. They have learned to look with contempt upon the white man's justice and have naturally taken trie law Into their own hand3 with the certainty, that they could not otherwise obtain redress. The case under consideration gives the administration an opportunity to teach quite another lesson, both to the cowardly whites and the Indian?. Backed up though the former are by the State authorities, the federal gov-. ernrrent ought to vpare no effort to bring the white murderers to Justice and punish them to the full extent of the law. I YOtWG AMERICA. PrecocionsneHs That Striken the Visitor with Astonishment. Washington Post. It was on the little lawn of a handsome house on New Hampshire avenue, the other day one of those hermetically sealed, deserted-looking mansions the fashionable quarter is crowded with. Right In the midst of a velvety bit of turf there were four sticks stuck, and on their tops, a couple of feet from the ground, a newspaper was spread. And under the shade thus formed a district messenger boy in uniform . was lying fast asleep. It wasn't his yard, it wasn't his turf, it wasn't even his time, but he was an American, and he knew a good thing when he saw it. It made me remember another bit of American small-boyishness I saw one day last week. It was in a side street on Capitol hill, and there was a fresh breeze blowing. A boy on a tricycle came sailing along the street. I say sailing literally, for fastened to the handle of his machine was a real sail, and by a series of tacks that would have done credit to any skipper afloat he managed to skim about wherever he pleased. He had brains, that boy. and he wasn't going to let his legs do anything that his head could possibly attend to. Everybody smiled at that bit of cleverness, but one other day further over on Capitol hill, In a little street you have most likely never set foot in. I came upon another ingenious device which was too pathetic for smiling. It waa In a tiny little house the sort of house Western people call a hack." There were no screens at the windows, and from within came the steady hum of a sewing machine the hottest, dreariest of founds on a hot day. A worn-looking woman was bending over the machine sewing. To the big drive wheel four sticks were fastened in some way, and at right angles to these four big palm leaf fans were securely tied. When the wheel whirled round and round the fans made a breeze as cool and strong as any expensive electric apparatus, and on the quilt within reach of that breeze was a baby. He lay there contentedly, cool as could be. and not tormented by a single fly. The mother smiled down at him from time to time, and I knew that she did not mind the heat, iior the flies, nor the back-breaking work, for the baby was cool. Mnn of the Hour. ' Philadelphia Press.

A few minutes before 11 o'clock last night a large bay horse, drawing a surrey, came east on Michigan street from tha direction of the canal. The horse was taking a . leisurely, gait and (he vehicle Had na occupant. Two young colored men name Goodal and Davenport were standing oc the corner of Illinois "and Michigan street when the vehicle approached. One of them remarked that there was no driver and' stepped out into the street to stop the horse. As he did so he discovered a human head protruding between the spokes ot the front wheel and the limp body of a.' man dragging underneath the surrey. Ha called to his friend and they tried to get the man out, but were compelled to remove the wheel so tightly was the head wedged betwetn the spokes and the shaft. The man was unconscious and at first, it was thoght he -wan dead. Hut the physician who was called found a Blight' pulse.' The Injured, .man was very dark arul some said he was a negro. No one knew him and there was explanation of th mysterious accident. He was taken to tha City Hosrltal. where a hasty examination by the physicians revealed a roncun sion, which was probably caused by th pressure of the heid against the Fpokea of the wheel. Dr. Wright, of the City Hospital, said that he does not think tho man is a negro, although his skin Is very dark. The Janitor at the hospital recognized the injured man as a rag peddler.1 He had se?n him frequently at a restaurant on Indlaha avenue, near the yellowr brrdse. The hospital physicians detected whisky cn the breath of the sufferer and? It is believed that while trying to get; into the surrey he fell with his head between the spokes and was unable to extricate hiirs-lf. At miinlsht he was still unconsclou". but it was thought he would ro-, cover. The horse was taken in charge b the police. ...
