In track-laying they use Moore's improved paten i tus, which con or sided track which are many rollers, over which ties and rails are sent to the front. in is attached to one side of the flat-cars, so that ties and rails can be placed on the rollers, and then shoved along rapidly by men either on the flata or walking by the side on the ground. At the front end of the train, this track or chute extends forward quite a distance, being supported by a erane. o fast as the ties are sent to the front they are taken by men and putin lace; then the rails are dropped and ed, and the train pushed over the rails just laid, so s to be ready for the next length. The engine is at the opponite end of the train, and pushes the car back as fast as the rails are Inid, until the twenty or thirty cars are unlonded, This machinery saves hauling the ties ahead by teams, and in economical in work, especially as thero are many places along the road where teams could not reach the line of grade. ¥rom Granger it is 149 miles to Soda Springs, upon which the grade has been comploted, eighty-two miles of track laid and many of the bridges put in place, From Soda Springs to Portneuf, where the line crosses the Utah & Northern, it is sixty-six miles, making a total of 2156 miles from Granger, On this gap between Soda Springs and Pocatello graders are now at work and already a portion is com- pleted.

This portion of the road is over the desert, there being a stretoh of eighty miles between Amer- ican Falls and Little Wood river hav- ing no water, and hence men and teams have to be supplied by hauling water from these two ri ent the contractors, Messts, Stevens, have about 2,000 teams and 3,000 men employed, and are anxious to get all the men aud teams they can for pushing their work, 3 Orders have besn issued by the management to push the grading through to Baker City as rapidly as poesible, and this will be done.

AFFAIRS IN EGYPT, Natlonal Associated Pros. ConsTaNTINOPLE, May 81.— Nearly all of the Mediterranean floot has gone to Alexandria. 'Ihe porte is now in- disposed to mot in the Euypt em- broglio, unless the allied French and English fleets leave Ecyptian waters, but as their withdrawal at this mo- ment would be taken by the national party as proof that they were to have their own way and foreign powers would not venture to interfore with them, the retreat of the fleets is not to be thought of and the situation is more and more critical. A petition is now being ciroulated in Cairo, and signatures obtained for it under threats of military violence, demanding a reconstruction of the ministry, rejection of the English and French notes, the recall of the Eiglish and French fleots, and recognition of the military movement as a legitimate act. If the khedive should refuse to accede to these demands, his depoei- tion will speedily fo'low. Nobody believes tho restoration of order is possible until the Turkish troops ar- rive, and the present attitude of the port indicates that flmi will not be sent. Thus a deadlock has arisen, and the situation ia full of peril.
