Pioneers Want Better Means of Transportation. WArtJ HAILROADS BUILT. SEVERAL BOUYES TO THE LAND OF GOLDEN FLEECE. A Man From tho Yukon Country Given on Intereating Account or Elforti of.Men to Secure tho Advan tages of Quick Transit, San Francisco, July 24.—N. E. Pi* cotto of the Yukon country, who has been In thla city several days, give* an Interesting account of the efforts of pioneers of that locality to secure more modern means of conveyance Into the land of the golden fleece. “While at Circle City and Forty Mile laat year," says Flcotte, “we se riously considered the possibility of se curing aid from the Canadian govern ment to build a railroad Into this dlss trlct. Wo secured as reliable data as we could and forwarded It to Ottawa. Finally an appropriation of $5,000 was Placed by the parliament and surveyors ordered to take to the field this year. “There are two practical routes by which this country might be reached by a railway. One of these Is from a pblnt on the Canadian Paclflc; the other Is from Dyea. As far aa we were able to ascertain neither presents many difficulties. The rond from Dyea would be the shorter for the reason that only some eighty miles, nf road would have to be built, the rest of the route to the mines being by means of the river. Of course during the winter season this route would be closed a* far as tho river Is concerned. This route will do away with the difficulties of the Chll- kat pass In the early days. It would naturally be a closer means of commu nication with San Franclaco. and for that reason Is not likely to be favored by the Canadian government. “The other route la about 600 ml.p longer, but being entirely within tne Dominion of Canada Is likely to receive earnest consideration at the hands 01 the government. ... “Tho moneyed men of that section nrc willing to assist any enterprise ot thin cbarsctcf which will tend to develop the country. The attention of the world hax been colled to our country and the Idea llmt naught but fairy taleo hasbeen wrltten'about Ui wealth I* being qnb k- ly dWwiputed." riorkimr •«» Dron.

Two “killers" and a huge swordfish (xlphlas). desperate with hunger, had combined their forces and ventured to attack a half-grown bull cachalot. Nothing, I am persuaded, but the di rect necessity and pressure of want could have prompted them to under take so grave a conflict, although It must needs be confessed that their combination was a powerful one. It fell to the swordfish to lead off, and he launched himself at the whale like a Whitehead torpedo, pointed direct for the most vital part. But a'gentle swerve of the wary chachalot present ed to the attack, Instead of the vul nerable broadside, the oblique impen etrable mass of his head. The awful blow of the sword impelled Jy the fu rious speed of the mass behind It struck Just above the whale's eye, rip ping a white streak diagonally up ward through the gristly substance covering tho skull, but spending its force in the air above, while the great body following glided serpentlike over the whale’s head and fell helDlessly upon the other side. With Incredible agility for so vast a bulk the cachalot turned, settling slightly withal, then rising, lower jaw uppermost, he caught the xlnhlas In the center between those mighty shears and cleft him In two halves. A aldo- way shake of the great head, a scarce perceptible gulp, and the tall of the swordfish slid down the whale’s cav ernous throat with as much ease and rapidity as If It had been an oyster. Meanwhile the orcas had not been re miss In supporting the spirited attack of their ill-fated coadjutor. One hung upon each flank of their giant foe and worried him as dogs a boar. But their time had come. After vainly endeav oring by rolling and writhing to free himself from them he suddenly changed his tactics. Rearing himself majestically out ot the seething ed dies like a mighty column of black rock, he fell backward, tearing him self away from the clinging monsters. Up rose hli enormous tall from the boiling vortex, and descending like a giant scythe literally crushed one o: his aggressors beneath it, the sound ot the blow reverberating like thunder. The survivor fled, but the Infuriated Titan pursued, leaping like a dolphin half out of the sea at every bound, and although we could not see the end of the chase wc had little doubt that the gladiator paid the full penalty cf his rashness under the lethlal sweep ot those terrible Jaws. lteagan as a Hindoo. From the Washington Capital. You would not suppose that such great and wise men as those In the upper branch of congress, or the lower branch, for that matter, would be su perstitious, but they are. I do not know that they have any special objection 'to the number IS or walking under lad ders. but ex-8enator Reagan figured In one superatlton when he represented the state of Texas In that body. He used to have s habit of sitting almost anywhere on the Democratic slue of the chamber except In his own seat, and It happened that several times when he occupied the chair of a senator who was 111 that senator died. It began to be felt that Reagan was a hoodoo, and this feeling became so strong that when Senator Vance was taken til, one day he wrote to Senator Pasco, who arranged the pairs for the absent, and the last sentence In his letter ran thus: “For hceven’a make, don't let old Reagan get my chair.” Senator Pasco removed Vance's chair from tho* cham ber till Its owner got well. Reagan had a curious habit ot making cat- cradles all the time a debate was go ing on. It looked to a mere spectator as If he considered that h!s main bust- nea, but It did not Interfere with Ms listening to all thit was said. He would sit all day long twitting thst string about Ms Angers In all sorts of funny ways. It wav one of the char acteristics by which he was known. Th*r» W>r*» Oih*rw.
