WASHINGTON- . C. . Nov 29. I
Mr Mills of Texas is Apparently much
nearer the spcakorship goal totnght than was
Mr Ilccd of Maine at this period of the con
test two ycnrs ago , A week before the re
publican caucus of the last bouse mot , It was
dourjtful In the minds of ninny members
whether the gcntlcimn from Maine would bo
nominated. At this time , ono familial with
the inside workings of the democratic ma
chine cannot conceive the turn by which Mr.
Mills' defeat may bo compassed. Since the
Brooklyn delegation of four members have
wheeled Into line there Is little doubt
that custom will nrovull and the unit rule
will rniilco the delcKatlon from Now Yonc
solid for the J'cxan.
Now York \otos as a unit In almost every
c.mcus and convention and nothing less than
on open ruptuto can defeat Its unit for
Mills Ho will also pet ncirly all of New
KtH'laml , Pennsylvania , a largo majority of
Ohio and Indiana and more than half of the
Boulh and west. Mr. Crisp and his friends
nro lighting Mills on Issues which it is be
lieved will duvoall of tno Texan's followers
away ft cm the Gcoigian in the event it
should become cluir mat Mills cinnot bo
clotted , 'ihis would insuio the election of
Bomo other eiuidlduto than Mr. Crisp , if Mills
cannot bo chosen ,
iilhcr : 31111s OP bprliiKer.
Mr. Springer of Illinois Is now regarded as
the most foimidablo opponent of Mills , as his
following is believed to bo moio elastic , and
It Is Eiilil ho is the second diolco of mete
munbeis than any one except Mills. Which
ever wa\ the spcakoishlp light terminates ,
tlieio will bo inanv sere spots loft with bears
nnd wounds which can neither bo coveted
nor he.ued. The Mills crowd , with eve-Pies-
Ident Cleveland behind them and .staking hls
political fntuio Uon ) them , are buinlue the
tnidgos. They nra not onlj diOlnilng Ciisp

Jsts und scnenicrs nio for Crisn. thoiobj-
casting a vor > sotious imput itlon upon Unit
gentleman's reputation , airuinst which noth
ing has hciolofoio been londb bioatlicd.
Thoj brand him " .v do nothlnir , ' and sav this
ono suppoits him because he favors "rail
road Intcicsts , " that ono because ho is a
"bubsldvlbt , " and others because ho favors
"bpociuf Intel osts. "
These insinuations are decidedly personal ,
nnd Mr Cilspandhis friends are not the
men to shoulder them In sllonco. They will
retaliate. The Crisp and MrMillan follow
ing denounce Mills' silver attitude , his
open dedications for irco trade , and
have placed the bunion of his
campaign diiectlv upon Mr. Cleveland.
The election of Mills as speaker will not ,
however , bo a vindication lor the ox-presi
dent. Cleveland will have to make fair
weather with the largo clement ho and his
friends have insulted In the bitter personal
warfare upon four or five candidates for the
Bpetikeiship nnd their followcis.iopicsontlng

Ciitotno , III. , Nov. 29. For over an hour
today out on wintry Lake Michigan , four
men stared death full In the face. They
were aboard the tug John A Miller , which ,
wrapped In llatnc , was running wild nt full
speed In n great circle. The men had only
deck bucUots to delay the moment when ap
parently they would nave to docldo w hethor
to burn or drown. The snioko nnd
llntnes from the burnlni ; craft wore
sighted by the tug Welcome , but the
waves weto rnMiinc so high that the Wel
come was long delayed in reaching the dis-
tresscu vessel. At hnt , however , she suc
ceeded in .ste.ur.iiiL' close to the lli'ry Miller
nnd , In almost superhuman cxettions , taking
nbourii the scorched and exhausted seamen ,
the n'scuors nanowly avoiding meeting the
fate that had awaited the lescuod. The
Welcome took llto. and only , prompt mcas-
mos averted her destruction
' 1 ho four men vv ho escaped fiom the Miller
were Captain Peter Hairy , Cnglnccr . ( nines
Dairy , Kliomnn Charles Newman nnd a
deck Hand. The Welcome was under com
mand of Ciptnln Thomas Harry , a brother of
the Millet's captain
The ciow of the Mlllor , though suffering
Intense pain , enjoyed ono satisfaction that ,
of seeing the tug sink without them on
boaid. The iho Is supposed to have origi
nated In tlio explosion of a lamp It made
too lapld piogicss to permit ot anv investiga
tion , nnd after driving the engineer und
wheelsman from their position , disabled the
steering appaialus , which had been set by
Captain Harry to head stiaight for pott , in
stead of making the bugo ciiclo that so nearly
piovcd the doom of himself and men.

IJamnull , Colorado's member of the
republican national committee , returned
frorr Washington last evening , and in an In-
teivlow In this morning's bun thus explains
his reason for opposing Omaha's claim for
the convention :
"Ono of the greatest efforts was that rmdo
by Omaha. That city In&ed its claims on the
assertion that it was a nud-contlncntal
city , nnd appealed to think that everybody
west of the Mississippi liver should vote for
it. You mnv lomumbor that nt the last
Coloiado lopublican convention hold nt
CJlcnwood Spungs , it was desired that the
Colorado member of the national com
mittee should vote for Omaha , but
so far ns I was concerned the
fact was never immossed upon mv mind
that Omnh.i had anj of the icqulslto Illness
fora convention city or placoln which to hold
a larce political convention.
"When 1 reached Omaha on my way to
Washington I became very thoroughly
convinced that Colorado , nt least ,
should not vote for that place.
In the Issue of Tut OMUII Her of Fridav ,
November 20 , which I picked tin on my way
cast , tlicro wiis a very nasty article
on Senator Stovvait's advocacy of the free
coinngo of silver , the paper taking the
'round that a silver dollar was an unsound
medium of cnuoncy. This would have
dotoi mined my vote , If nothing else , as It
would have been u-.od by eastern slnglo
stand a ill men as an argument that the wast
was not united on thofroa coinage of silver. "

WASitisr.TOV , D C. , Nov 29Tncro will
be issued this wcok , from the statistician's
ofllco of the Inters Into Commence commission
the third annual icport of the "Statistics of
Koilwajs In the United States. " This toport
gives comprohenslvo statistics covoilng the
operations of railways for the year ending
Juno HO , 1SOO , and n statement of earnings
fiom passenger and freight service , together
with opciatlng expenses and llxod charges
for the nine months ending March ,11 , IbUl.
A mnikcd feature ot this report , which adds
gicatly to iho value of Its statistics , is
the division of all statistics into ten
territorial groups , by which the
differences In conditions of operations In var
ious parts of the country aie clearly brought
to notice Formerly , nil statistics have been
passed for the entire country , and the aver
ages deducted huvo boon for all the railroads
In the United States. The comparison ren
dered possible'by this report shows marked
dilTcioncos In the different , parts of the
country.

Hallway mileage in the United States on
Juno an , IbOO , was ltJ,5US 05 miles ; the In
crease In railway mileage brought Into ouor-
atlon dutlng the vcar was 0,0.10 00. Michigan
shows the latgcst incroiso In railway mile-
ueo during the year , being 130 OS miles , nnd
Georgia comes next with an increased milc-
ago of 4117.91 .nllos. Group V , made up of
the stntos of Kentucky , Mississippi , Alabama ,
Georgia and Floriua , snows an incicasod
mileage of 1..I70 312 mlios duiing the i oar.
The total length of track for the United
States , Including all ttacks , sidings and
spurs , is 209,01)0.07 miles.
The number of railway corporations on
Juno 30 , 1&90 , was 1,797. Of these , 87 nro
classed as pilvato toads , with a total
mileage of 810 miles. Nine hundred and

representing a mileage of 1,90" > S7 miles ,
have merged their corporate existence into
other corporations. Fifty companies , repre
senting a mllcago of 0,1 % 04 miles , hnvo
boon consolidated with other companies
Thus 8,101.91 miles of line huvo , during tlio
year , disappeared as Independent companies ,
Foitv railway coiporatlons operate 77-
S7J ( U miles of line , or 47.71 per cent of the
total miloago. The avcraeo length of a line
for these forty loads is nearly 2,000 miles.
Income of Hit ; Corporations.
There are seventv-four companies in the
United States whoso gross income ? are
? S37,000,000 , out of a total gross income of
all railways in the country of $1,031-
877iJ2 ( ; that is to sny , seven'v-four rail
way corporations receive bO per cent of the
total amount paid uy the people of the United
States to the railway service.
The total number of locomotives In the
United States is 29,9. , of which 8..181 are
prissongor locomotives and 1C , HO are freight
locomotiv cs. This shows ten fioight locomo
tives and five passenger locomotives for each
100 miles of opciatcd lino.
The number of cars used In the tnilvvnv
service is l.lOt.UIS , of which 20,511 nio In the
p isscnger service. The numoor of cats per
100 miles of line is 744.
The number of tons of freight carded ono
milo per freight engine is 4,72lOJ7 , and the
numberof passcngeis carried ono mho per
passenger engine is 1,113,14J. Figuies of this
sort mcusuio the economy of tinnsportation

The laiger portion of equipment if. found in
rnllioads in the eastern und middle stntos.
Thus in the Now England states group I
there are 28 locomotives per 100 miles
of line ; In the middle states , group II. , 40
ocomotlvos per 100 miles of line , while in
the states west of tlio Mississippi , gioupX.
oxcoptcd , the number does not exceed 12
locomotives per 100 miles of lino.
The number of locomotives fitted with train
biakos is 20.10J , and the number lilted with
automatic couplers , 9" > 5. The number of cars
iltlen with train brakes is 128,211 , and the
number of cars lilted with automatic couplers
is 111,304. When compared with the total
number of locomotives and cais , it appears
that much remains to bo aotio in the nutter
of tialn brakes and automatic couplers.
Men Employed.
The total nuinuor of mon employed on the
rallwajs of the United States is 749,301 ,
being an increase of I V'M ever the number
employed in 1S&9. The average number of
men employed per 100 miles of line on all
roaas Is 170. In the Now England states ,
gioup I , the average number per 100 miles
of line is 710 ; In the middle states ,
group II , It U 1,107 ; In group
IV , covering the states of Virginia , Noith

mllcago is capitalized at tlio same rate , the
total capitalization of railroad property In
the United States would bo $9,0b4,4b.l.400.
The increase In railway capital during the

There are marked differences In the capl

river , that Is , group VI , are capitalized
at 47,045 per mile of line , which iulrly re
presents thu capitalization Iu the other sec
tions of the country , exclusive of the middle
stntos and the Paclllo slope. T'io ' capital
ization of railroad property Is largely In excess -
cess of Its market value. The interest on

entire country was 75,7fil. The number of
tons of freight carried one mlle per tnllo of
line was 187,211. These ilguros tncasuro the
density of traffic. If corresponding figures
bo clvon for the vaiious groups into which
the territory of Iho country Is divided , It
shows that the number of passengers cm tied
one mlle per mlle of line In the New
Knsland states pioup I , was 213,530 , and In

I'roni Commodore Melville's
Hojioit.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Nov. 29. Commodore
Melville , chief of the bureau of steam cn-
glnccilng , has submitted his annual ronort
to the secretary of the navy. After detail
ing tbo vvoik accomplished during the past
fiscal year and the condition of the ma
chinery of the vessels of the navy , the ropoit
touches upon the needs of the vaiious navy
yards.
By far the most important feature of the
ropoit Is Commodoto Melville's statement
touching the pcisonnel of thojengineor corps.
Ho says"It is with regret I am again
compelled to report that the number of en
gineer oIliLors Is msnfllclent for the proper
performance of the duties belonging
to them , and to emphasize- the fact that
unless mcasuics aio at oncj taken to icmcdy
this condition nnu to stop the steady
decrease in numbers , wo shall bofoiu long
have a painful awakening by a sonous break
down or accident on seine of our ves
sels , Thoio is a limit to oven n
naval engineer's onduiance ; and while
the oHlcors of the engineer coips will do their
host to mnko all necdtnl repairs nnd keep in
ellkiont condition the magnificent machinery
of the new vessels , fiom which the country
Justly expects so much , and Iu which It take's
n proper pride , they can co no fin ther than
the limit of their phjslcnl btiongth. When
this has been i cached the machinery must
take caio of Itself. "
Commcdoie Melville sav a that the number
of engineer ofilcois should bo at least 300 ,
niul oven this number would bo Inadequate
unless supplemented by n HUfllciont number
of Intelligent und sullied oflleors nnd well
tialncd lliemon.

Special to Tun Ucr.J The political world
In France takes no stock In the solidity of tbo
trlplc'allianco. It Is believed that Ip passing
from theorv to practice , the allies will no
longer agree together. At least so people
argue , an argument that explains the close
attention with which diplomacy follows the
Incidents taking place yesterday in Home.
There Is PO attempt to hide the dissatisfac
tion felt there on account of Austria-Hun
gary , the cause thereof being the speech of
M. KalnoUj'i the Austrian prime minister.
A Catholic deputy in the Austrian rclchs-
rath asked M. Kalnolty bow n good under
standing between the popu and the Italian
government could bo reached M. Kalnoky
replied that no one had jot found n solution
of that problem.
Thereupon the Italians took offense , nnd
yesterday a deputy In the Italian lower
chamber interpellated thomutquls dl Hudlnl ,
asking by what right thu minister of an
allied power spoke about an Italian quesUtwi
settled these many jears by Italy. . The
Italian premier icpllod that ho
did not see that any other power
bad taken any part In Italian affairs. The
onicinl policy of Austria hud always been
satisfactory. The deputy retorted that even
Fiance considered the question of the papacy
settled. The discussion was postponed until
tomorrow.
Italian touchiness on nil questions con
nected with the papacy mokes Impossible
an agreement on tills question between Italy
nnd Austila , consequently the alliance is
always on the point of dissolution. Italy dis
trusts Austria on the papal question ; Austria
suspects Italy on the irredentist question.
When two persons who stand witti clasped
bunds aio always watching each othci to bco
that they are not mutually robbed , theio Is
little chance that they will long lomalu
united.
A peculiar anti-Frjnch movement has
started In Holglum Ono would think that
its instlgatois took the cue from Germany.
Hills were posted all ever IJrussels , proto tIng -
Ing against the class books given to childicn ,
fiom which they leain to despise Gei-nanv.
The protest nlso appealed in Lo Itohin
( newspaper ) , with a plan for initiating Bel-
glum into the ways of Guumn life and
making known her true fi lends. The symp
toms nro regarded as signifying that Bol-
glum is making preparations for future
events , such as a violation of her noutiulity
in case of war.

asked to inaUo this statement to put n stop to

"Mr Ulalno is In better condition , a great

"If Mr Blalno continues to tnko cnro of
