FAST OVERLAND TRAINS. The U. P. Schedule Knocks Out the Northern Pacific, PORTLAND, Ore,, Nov, 25.—|Special Tele- gram to ne Bee.]—The through fast mail trains over the Union Pacific have marked a newera in railroading. Portland has been 1ong a strong competitive point between the Northern Pacific and Union Pacific. Today & marked change is noticeable, The fast trains on the Union Pacific huve sccom- plisied the result. Now and henceforth there is every reason to believe that the Union Pucitic will have it very much its own way 10 hauling the through passeng business for this terrtory, both east and west bound. T'he Union Pacitic now lands its west bound passengors at Portland twenty-four hours earlier thun does tho Northern Pacific, a matter that is an impor- tant factor in buiiding up the through business and an inducement to the every duy traveler that is seldom overlooked. Portland is the seat of war now between the Union and Northern Pacific, but the Union Pacific bas captured the ficid and now holds the key to the situation. 'The Norvhern Pa- cific ropresentatives still boast of having a Line of road better equipped throughout than that of the Union Pacificand also assert that their road will be dotted with fast trains the coming spring. This is regarded as a “'bluf™ by the Union Pacific attaches. C. E. Brown, advertising agent of the Union Pacific, who is now in Portlund, and who accompanied the fast mail train on its first trip, concerning the matter said: ‘‘The Union Pacific has put on fast mail trains and in aidition passengers will be carried. The schedule of thesetrais is the fastest that has ever been made und no other line has as yet attempted making the same time, Our fast overland time from the cast has been care- fully studied, and I am confident that while thetrains have a remarkably fast schedule, still faster time can be made should circum- stances warrant it. I also believe that this 15 & move that has long been demanded by the traveling public. Wo make the run from Omaha to Portland in fifty-eignt hours. The fast train means a great deal for the west. Heretofore the fast service has been confined 10 the eastern lines, but now the fast train on the Union Pacific between Omaha and Portland has a faster schedulo than that of the Pennsylvania limted. The fact that our trains aro arriving on time right along plainly demonstrates that the fast service can be made und will be the horse J.W.

Tatest from Stanley. Loxpox, Nov, 2.—Further partlculars from Henry M. Stanley 1n a letter to Mac- Kiunon, dated at Kaffarro, August 5 last, are horewith given: December 16, 1888, mossongers from Kav- alli came with letters from Emin Pasha and his lieutenant, Jeppson. Jeppson's letter was dated Dufile, November 7, 1858, It says: “August 18 a rebellion broke out here and tho pasha and I were made prisoners, The pasha is a complete prisoner, but 1 am allowed to go wbour the station and my movements are watched. The rebellion has been gotten up by half adozen Egyptiavs, officers and clerks, and gradually others joined, mostly through fear. Tho soldiers, with the excep- tion of those at Lavborehad, have novertaken part in it, but have quietly given iu to their ofticers. The officers went about telling people you were only an adventurer and had not come from Egypt, and that the letters you brought from the khedive were forger- ies; that it was untrue Khartoum had fallen, and that Emin Pasha and you had made & plot to take them, their wives and chilaren out of the country and hand them over as slaves of the Kuglish, Such words, in an_ignorant, fanatical country like this, acted like fire among the people;and the' result was a general re- bellion and we were wmade prisoners, Plans were also made to entrap You when you re- turned and sirip you of all you have.” “I'he letter then goes on 1o say that while this condition of affairs existed the Mahdist forces arrived iv the neighborhood and de- manded immediate surrender. ‘Lhe revoit- ing officers refused with the rcsult that Emin's enemies, the Mabhdists and robels, fell upon each other. The Mahdists captured Regor, taking many prisoners, including wowmen and children and stores of ammuni- tion. The rebels attempted to retake Regof later on, but were again repulsed. ‘The soldiers then became 8o panic-stricken they declared they would fight no more unless Bmin was sot at liberty, (‘vllnn;l\ was done, and he was sent to Wa- delai. A posteript dated December 18 says the Mahdists attacked Desile station for four days, but were driven back to Regof. 'They had sent to Khartoun. for reinforcements. ‘To this letter Stanley replies urgiog the he ity for haste on the part of Km! nd Jeppson to come to meet him (Stanley), as he is exbausted by long travel and privation. He assured Jeppson that he was well located ina friendly region and could have 2,000 warriors within four bours. But I i is to be saved, must help save himself. He urges that indecision must be put aside, and rolying on Stanley assistance, Emin must come toward him atonce. ‘Lho letters re- ceived from Kmin at the same time were simply confirmatory of Jeppson's letter, but showed thay Emin Wwas baluing between two opimions, whether to stay where he :vas or o accept Stanley’s offer for reliof. He must decide, Stanley said, within a few days, as he (Stanley) would be compelled to start on his rewrn journ Emin utinued to delay, but fivally,” February 18, u native courior appeared with a letter from Emin to the cffect that he was at anchor with two steamers just below Stanley's plateau camp of Kavallix. Emin's letter smd he had brought part of his people from Wadelai and ‘would send toats back for the others while te himself pushed forward to, Stanley’s camp. Then follows a deseription of the march, which was resumed on May 8, the fight with the king of Ungoro and with the Warasmas, A gescription is given of the snowy moun- tain, which is estunated at not less than uineteen thousana feet high, The greatest wouble was caused by fevers and bowel complaints. MacKinnon, president of the Emin relief committee, received another letter from Stanley, dated August 17. Stanley says Bmin, with Selim ey, seven ofticers, and sixty people arrived at his camp February 17, Lieutepant Stairs arrived oo the 18th, ‘with his column from Ituri. At the meeting on the 18th, Selim, who had retaken Dutile from the Mahdists, ing 250 of them, stated on behalt on the deputation thut they had come to request time to allow the equa- torial troops and their familics to assemble at Kavalli. Stanley continues: *I explained through Emin Pasha the ob- ject of my expedition aud offered them a promise written in Arabic to wait a reason- avle time for them to join me. The deputa- tion replied that my offer was satisfactory. They said they would procced directly to ‘Wadelai and proclaim it and commence the work of trausportation. Tho deputation started for Wadelai on the 20th. Emin re- turned on the 27th with his little aaughter, Ferida, and a caravau of 144 men, Heand I agreed that twenty days was a reasonable time. A month after Selim's deparwure a letter arrived from him announciug that the rebels were unanimous to depart for Egyut under my escort.”’ Stanley now finding great delay likely in assembling the refugees called & council of oficers. It was decided to march on April 10. April 5 Emin nformed him that but few of his servants would go. “Here was a disappomtment,” exclaims Stantey, “Out of 105 only & few were will- ing to accomvany me. 18 was cloar the pasha no longer had authority. At this time I discovered a conspiracy 1n camp. The Egyptians tried to steal the rifles of the Zanzibaris, and the number of malcontents kept increasing. Kmin had also received news of the bad stute of things at Wadelal, Therefore I decided upon immediate action, 1 formed a square of rifles and assembled all the people to witness it. L'hose who refused 10 come were arrested and placed in irons and some_wero flogged. They then prom- ised obedience, This muster consisted of about six hundred persons, On the 10th we started, numbering about one thousand, tive hundred persons.” An intercepted letter to Selim revealed another plot to attack the expedition. May 7a letter was received from Selim contain- ing various insolent_charges, and an appeal 10 wait longer for him, tho rebels having again robbed himof all his smmunition, Stanloy replied offering to go slowly so as to enable Selim to overtake him, but he never heard any more from him (Selitn, ) ————— Charged With Conspiracy.

O — A Oontraction of National Bank Our- s venpy Feared. Wasnivarowy Nov. 25.—The forthcoming report of Comptriiler of the Currency Lacey covers the year ended October 81, 1580, at which time tfigfb wore in existence 3,819 national banks, the largest number since the inauguration of'the system, These associa- tions possess afy nggrogate capital of $620, 174,306, The lthtreports of the condition exhibit their rédources and liabilities to the H0th of September. The number reporting at that time wAs 3{200, A sumwmary of these reports shows & capital of €613,5%4,005, sur- plus $107,304,761; undivided profits 834,860, 809, gross deposits, including amounts due banks, $1,050,035,160; loans and discounts 1, 739, all of which itewms show an in- crenso over any previous date. The amount of circulation outstanding is 203,00 9, of which $131.383,334 is secured by 'United States bonds and the re maiuder, $72,270,300. is represcnted by posits of lawful money in the tr S Those banks held $194 00 in United Statos bonds, (of which $146,471,700 was to secure circulating notes), $164,820,440 of specie and $56,752,003 of logal tender notes. Within a year, 2[1 bauks orgamzed, b an aggrogato capital of $21,240,000. Thirty- x of the new banks were organized in “Texas, tho largest number in any one stato. Within the yoar forty-one banks went into voluntary liquidation, only two failing. leav- ing the now additions 103 as against ninety Iast year and 123 annually since the in- auguration of tho system. Notwithstanding increase says the comptroller tho sys- has not kept pace with the of the people for increased banking facilities. The growing tendency to in- corporate under the statutes of the several states 18 not attribvted to any change in tho law effocting either national or state in- stitutions, but is charged directly to the fact, says the comptroller, that no profits result to bauks by reason of deposit of bouds and the issuo of circulating notes. It is claimed, in fact, he says, that actual loss results in many western states und territories where interest is high and banking facilities are most needed. Itis deemed certain by the comptroller that the withdrawal of the bonds held in ex- cess of the minimum requirements will con- tinuo 80 long as the present conditions exist, and that legislation is necessary to prevent the contraction of the national bank cur- rency. The comptroller makes a number of reo- ommendations for amendments to the law governing national banks. Among other things a reduction of the auty on circulation 18 recommenaed on the ground that the pres- ent tax is unjust to the banks because it is imposed on account of a privilege now value- less and the revenues of the government are in excoss of its requirements. The burden of enforced deposits is felt more severely where the current rate of interest is inghest and where banks organize with the smallest pital. The comptrolier avouded a dis- cussion of the various plans which have been suggested for substituting other securities for United States bonds as a basis of circu- lation, beiug of the opinion that the’consid- eration of @ provosition looking to tho adop- tion of untried measures would involve d fraught with danger to tho national banking system in the present exigency. He favors a luction of the interest upon existing bonds 10 21¢ per cent by-the prepayment to holders of the difference botween that rate and the 4 per cent interest bbnds now carried. ‘Workinis of Bussey's Office. WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Assistant Secre- tary of the Intggior Bussey in his annual report of the operations of his office in the adjudication of pehsion claims that are ap- pealed from the,' decisions of tho commis- sioner of pensions, says that out of 8,228 pensions on file 1,533 were considered and disposed of, leaving 1,000 apvealad cases pending July 1, 1580, Bussey say “Much time has been applied to the exam- inations filed by claimants and attorneys for the reconsideration of appeals that have been adversely @djudicated by my predeces- sors.

A Little Row at an Irish Mectingin New York — England Buys Guns Invented by United States Officers. The Knights and tire Allianoe. Nrw York, Nov. 25— [Special Telegram toTur Bee. |--A Herald special from Colum- bus, Ga., says: The dispatches of the late proposed combination of the Knights of La- bor and the Farmer's alliance have not sug- osted the full significance of this proposed coalition, - I have talked with Powderly and .other member#of the Knights of Labor, as well as with Colonel Livingston, prosident of the Georgia state alliunce, and I find that thoy have pretty well come to the conclusion that the principles of the two organizations aro very nearly identical. The magnitude and importance of this proposed joining pf torces will at once be seen when it is taken into consideration that the knights num- ber 250,000 members, while tho alliince has &n orgunization in every state south of New York except Pennsylva- nia, in the western and nortiwest states h hardly an exception, and are spreading into New Bugland aud to the Pacific coast. It has & membership in the state of Georgia alone of 90,000, Al told its membership is upward of 1,500.000. In addition to this, the Kuights beliove that if this amalgamation is accomplished, not only will the American Federation of Labor, with its half-million or more members, jom in, but that other labor organ like the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will alao come into the fold.

Priraveurma, Nov. 25.—{Special Tele- gram to Tne Bee.]—The Drig Schroeder rapid firing gun, invented by Licutenants Driges and_Schroeder, United States navy, has been sB1d to English capitalists for over half a million of dollars, Severalof the guns were built here, and after being subjected to the severest tests by HEuglish ordnance experts the latter unanimously recommended tho purchase. As usual i such cases, the United States ordnance experts could not find any merit in the gun, and the inventors were compelled to £o out of their own country to have thew genius properly appreciated. ‘The advantages of the gun cousist in its light weight and rapid firing capacity. 1t weighs ouly fifteen pounds, is made of the strongest kind of steel and cau fire shot threa miles. It can be fired three times as fasu as the famous Knglish Armstrong gun, e What Pow.derly Says. Parmaberenia, Nov. 25.—[n an interview this evening Geuoeral Master Workman Powderly suid it was very probable that some form of consolidation of the knights and the Farmers’ alliance would be accom- plished soon, Together they will have, he said, about three million voters, an army 8o vast that the politicians will not dare to spurn it. The combined organizations will wield such volitical power asg to control the presidential chair. “If the amalgamation is brought about I think the Awerican Fed- eration of Liabor, the engincers and other groat labor bodies will want to be merged into it. It will probably mean the birth of a new political party which will.have suficient strength to control tariff revision and other legislation.” ——— ATTACKED BY AN EAGLE.

Amid all the fluctuations and changes to which the stage has been subjected there has always boen @ strong demand for wn American drama, & play truthful in illustrations of co tain types of American character. 1t was this demand that induced Donman Thompson to cast about for u subject fa. miliar to the public at large, and he selccted the peculiar, eccentric, but honost New eland farmer.
