RAwLINg, Wyo., Nov. 17.—[Special to Tnn Brer.|—Though the fastmail limited train on the Union Pacific is schoduled at the re- markablo speed of forty-feur miles an hour, the trip thus far has demonstrated that still fastor time can be made. Kven ywith a siow track—and from Omahato Cheyenne there is & gradual ascent—and betwoon the two points the digeronce in the altitude is 8,000 foot—it will be scen thatan up grade is en- countered all the way, Notwithstanding this the mail limited loft Omaha Saturday, night forty-five minutes late, and it seomed as if to gain o minute's time was somsthing more than could be accomplished. Engincer Livingstone, who pulled the train out of Omuha to Grand Island, lavored hard to make up lost time, buta strong wind pre- vailed, and 1t was all he could do to make tho schedule. jeneral Manager Dickinson urged the boys at the throttle to keep the wheels re- volving. At Grand Tsland the train was still forty- five minutes late, when Engincer Lambert attached his flyer, that was destinea to pull the coaches to North Platte. 1 will make her suort,” said Lambert, in reply to the question, “Can you make it?" which was propounded by Mr. Dickinson, The velocity of the wind had increased almost to a galo and the track was coated with frost, which went to make matters all the worse, “Heave coal nto her, Billy," said Lam Dert, and the fying object disuppearca from Grand Island on its nocturnal journey. By this time midnizht was aporoaching, and the guests, with the exception of your corre- spondent, had retired, In the rear of the private coach neral Manager Dickin- son, Advortis gent Brown and Mail Superintendent White as 1f in deep medita- vion, “Lambert is turning. the wheols lively,” said Dickinson, as he consulted his watch and then the time card, discovering that in going fifty miles ho Had made up threo minutes ot the lost time, *Jt will be a hard pull, Dickinson,” spoke up Captain White, From North Platte Engineer Miller took charge. Atan carly hour in the morning the 260 mile run_between Grand Island and Sidney had been mude, und after all, Engincer Mller through his best efforts had but mado up fifteen minutes of the lost time. At Sid- ney two engines were attached, with En- gineers Furnoce and Hoenan in the cabs, ‘they knew the task that confronted them Station after station was passed and the belatea time was gradually being pared down. The As tho distance was being pared down the destiuation wus also being neared and the result of the race was suspended 1n the bul- anco. Finally Archer station was roached, which is a point about thirteen miles from enne. Dickinson consuited his chronometer and with & whoop not unlike that of the proverbial Amsrican warriorannounced that the train was just one-half of u minute late. From Archer to Cheyenne there is consid- erable of a decline 1n track and the thirteen miles was made in just twelve and one-half minutes, and the train arrived precisely on time to a second. : Dickinson, when the train came_to o halt, walked forward to the front end of the train to compliment the engincer and to his sur- vrise he was confronted by Pat Touhy, the nssistant superintendent of the Nebraska di- vision, who is located at North Platte. Touhy, discovering that the train_was Jate, boarded the engine at North Platte and stayed at the throttie until the lost time was made up and the train steamed into Chey- enne in safety and on schedule time, Tho transcontinental fast mail train ser- vico is not without its disadvautages, and while it will attract passenger trafilo tho muil messengers will suffer on the opposite hand. TLeavinz Omaha last night tho train had on board thirtcen tons of mail which the messengers Were required to distribute. Five messengers and Chief Clerk Cramer, of Omoha, commenced the work of distribution upon leaving Omaba. They remained at their posts througliout the nizht, and upon arriving at Cheyenne were almost overcome with fu~ tigue,~ While they succceded in keeping up their end they were taxed to their utmost to do it. Superintendent White, however, is of the opinion thav when the through service is systematized the messengers will be able to perform the work without taxing their working capacity to an unwarrante extont. Rawlins, Wyo., has just been reached and the train is holding its own against the fast schedule in good shape. ey NORTH DAKOTA POLITIOS, Eleven OCandidates Kor the United States Senate.

This morning be attended church, sat in his usual pew, heard a sermon on foreign missions, listened to the Ave Maria sune by Emma Jusch, and after a light luncheon started off for u long walk alone. These Sunday walks he usually takes with Mr. Halrord, but the latter has not yet fully re- covered from his recent illuess and the chief magistrate had no other compauion, al- though Russell, his son, was at the Arling- ton hotel with Mr. Arkell, his partner. It was raining when the president started out and he carried an umbreila, but didn’t raise 1t and used as a walking stick tho whole distance. He wore achinchella over- coav and a slouch hat with a heavy pair of walking shoes on his fect, From the white house he started northward across Penn- sylvania avenue then up Vermont avenue to Iowa circle, where he used to live when he was in the senate and beyond into the lower part of the city until he reached the boun- dary. The distance he travelled was not less than four miles and he kept a quick pace from the beginning to the end.

It reminds him of an incident which occurred when he wat first elected to the United States senate, which came near getting him into trouble with both the pwohibitionists and the anti- prohibitionists.

It turned out that ‘about onehalfof: the committee was opposed w having any sort of an entertainment where wines wore served, while the other half of the commit- tee thougnt it would be out of the question not to huye & banquet with the usual service of wines, Both sides were equally acter- mied, but finally a compromise was reachod. The nbstamers arranged for a reception at the state house where no liquors were to be had. This passed off pleasantly and after it was overthe other part ofthe committee gave a banquet at the Neill house to which all the zood fellows who enjoyed a good glass of wine were invited.” The agitatior incident to the Vice Presi- dent Morton incident has resvsitated the vroposition to stop the sale of anything in- toxicating at the senate restaurant and will bring it up again before thut body. The house is too plebian und independent to stop it at 1ts restaurant. I'hereis no place where the beating about the bush is more ridiculous than that at the capitol. A resolution adopted for purposes of pure buncombe and to place the law malkers upon a plane of high moral- ity which they have mnot yet attained to proscribes the sale of liquor in the capitol building, It is observed to about the same extent as the laws which pro- hivit profamty. It was customary for a time after this resolution was adopted to serve liquor in tea cups and beer 1 coffee cups 1n the restaurants, but the injunction was never effective for a single day. Now drinks are served as obenly in the house and senate restaurants as at any place in the city of Washington, GOVERNOR MELLETTE. Governor A, .

POSITION OF THE RADICALS. They Tusist That the Scheme For the Revision o Snall Not Litera the Be Constltution lgnored A sation, A ition to Parliamont. [Coburight 1880 by lam*s Gordon Re Pamts, Nov. Ii.—[New York Cablo—Special to ‘Tax Bee|—The Tirard cabiuet has resolved to romain i office so long as it can comsider itself tn possossion of tho confidence of tne republican majovity in tho chamber. In order to test this coufidence the ministors propose to prosent a decluras tion to parliament. ‘This they will probably do to-day or to-morrow. It seams, however, that some difficulty has arisen ovor the preparation of this docu- ment. Tirard and his colloagues wore dis- posed to give precedence in it to questions relating to purely governmental affairs ana to pass over in silenco all purely political questivns, They, however. found it impossible to do this. This could not very well avoid all reference to the conclusions to bodrawn from the results of the recent vlections, nor could they remain silont con- cerning the general outlines of the policy they proposed to follow, but the radicats lost N0 Ume in showing their teeth when it be- came known that the ministerial deolavas tion was to contain @ roforence to constitu- tional revision. ‘The soparation of church and state are roforms which it was advisa- ble should be indefinitely postponed. The rudical press at once declured that it would bo impcssible to support a minority that mawifested such opposition to the radical programme. They were quite willing to admit that it was impossible just now to attempt the revision of tho con- stitution or to deal successfully with the question of he separation of church and state. There was no majority in the cham- ber or country that favored either measure, They were willing that the ministorial aration should contain no reference to 80 maticers, but they were not willing thut it should speak of them as measures included in the projects of the government or in the programmeo of the republican ma- jority. All this shows how great the illusions of those who think that the radical wing of tie republican party have been converted to moderato ideas. The election of Floquet to tho presidency of the chamber has disarmed his followers and if they consent to support an opportun- ist ministey it 15 only on condition that the cabinet is to have no policy of its own and that it will not give expression toits thoughts ana wishes, It will soon be made manifest by the terms of the ministerial declaration whether the cabinet is or is not going to sub- mit to dictution from tho extreme lof. If it does submit _ the moderate mem- bers of the party will be estranged from a government that confesses itself to be at the mercy of tie radical minority. The discussion which is going on in the press on the subject of the minwsterial declaration shows how fallacions it is for ministers to ex- pect to follow a moderate line of policy, and at the same tune count on the supnort of the radicals, Such an attempt is certainly as chimerical as an effort to square a circte or to discuss the philosopher’s stone. It is be- coming more and more evident that a moder- ate le of policy can only be carried ouv in France when there 18 in the cham- ber a new majorivy composed entirely of moderate men and which isstrong enough to hold in check the extremists not only of the rignt but also of the left. The literary sensution of the week will be the appearance to-morrow of Emil Ollayer's book giving -tho inside history of France from 1780 to i850. The ex-minister of Na- poleon I1L opens the first chapter by saying that in theory an hereditary form of govern- ment is by no means the best. What nations should strive for is the electoral system as practiced at the holy ses, u sovercign chosen for life by a college of wise men. The author blames the French government for allowing Eugland to go singlehanded nto Egypt, where she will not. remain, instead of joining haods with her and sharing the profits. Ollayers has very little to say, bhowever, about those stormy days of his premiership that immedstely preceded the disasters of 1870, —— - GENEROUS AUSTRALIANS, They Sub.cribed Nearly Two-Thirds of the Dock Strike Fund, LCopyright 185 by James Gordm Bennet.] LoxboN, Nov. 17.—[New York Horald Cable — Speciul tw Tue Bek |~ The dock strike commwittes will submit its balance sheet Wednesday, It shows that from the commencement to the eud of the strugglo the total amount of woney received from all sources wus in round numbers £48,000, of which £30,800, or nearly two-thirds, came from Australis.
