World- I VBl 11 LIS' TOE THE DISFATCH.1 Between Jlilan and Lucerne there are more than fifty tunnels. There is no other journey like it. Day and night seem to be running a great race out of Italy into Switzerland. Now day is ahead, now night overtakes him. So it goes for seven hours. One of the fifty tunnels is the St. Gotthard. It took our express train nineteen minutes to pet out of that abode of darkness. Even more remarkable are the circular tunnels. A tunnel is wonderful enough when it is straight, but a round tunnel is a wonder emphasized. It is an achievement indeed to make one's way into the heart of a great mountain and to get out again; but to enter into the mountain and wander around in it, and come out again with the engine headed south when you started in toward the north that is worth thinking about. Of all ways of climbing a hill this is the greatest to climb up in side.' You look out of the car window, and there js a little Alpine town whose queer houses are clustered about the parish church, and then the dark ness overtakes the daylight; in you go be neath the mountain, and presently, when you come out again, there is the same little Alpine town, with the same picturesque houses and the same church spire in the midst of them but now you see it through the opposite window; or you look up, and high aloft along the side ol the mountain vou see a train going in the same direction inw hich you are going, headed for Lucerne, and the train above hurries into a tunnel and your own tram plunges into another tunnel, and presently in the darkness that train conies rushing past headed for Milan! In one place there is a tunnel above a tun nel, so that you enter tbc mountain near the l'ottom and come out near the top, having described the tur: of a corkscrew. SIOKXIJ.-G .:KG the mountains. !ut tLe daylight is as wonderful as the !arkuess. The niountaius tower upon every ride with their top;; among the fixed stars. Down pour the mountain torrents, half blue water and half foam, tumbling from cliff to era;, sometimes tailing like a bride's veil, sometimes hurrying over the great stones at the bottom of a tleep ravine. There is snow along the summits, but the mountain sides are green with great forests, and the grass grows in the beautiful vallevs soft as a lawn. Sometimes the Alps are so high tbat you can hardly see the tops out of the car window. Sometimes the winding valleys are so long and open that you can look back along them for many a green mile. People live in these high places. Swiss cottaces, like the pictures, are set among the hills. They are built of heavy timbers, and the roofs are l:den with big stones, like the roofs of the houses in the Tyrol, to keep the shingles from blowing off. . .ti last we get to me uine jnsre, upon whose shores is built the city of Lucerne. Jt is the height of the season' Everybody's in Lucerne. It is said of Home that if yoti stay there long enough yon will meet every? body you ever knew. That may be equalhr true ot Lucerne. " I have been finding Pitw burg on the hotel registers almost everrt where this summer. Lucerne is no excep-. tion. Uo less than nine good people. priv-J ileged to write "Pittsburg" after their names, are spending Sunday beside these pleasant waters. I hope that some of the Pittsburgers found out the meaning of tbat queer bit of carving beside the door of the old church. I could make nothing of it. There is a fierce fight going on. A castle is being attacked and stoutly defended. And in the background halt a dozen robust and horrible-looking brigands, with beards of most grewsome cut, are glaring over the top of a high board fence. It is very interesting and unintel ligible. A SERMON IN THE OLD CHUBCH. I could understand the sermon better, ihough the priest was preaching in German. It must have been a good sermon, for the rhurch was crowded with hearers, though the hour was early. There were many at lent've men. Even the little children e -raed to know that sometBing of a sober character was going on, for they clung to their mothers' skirts and kept still silence. A good many of the congregation carried .unch baskets. They had come to hear mass -in J to listen to the Sunday sermon before starting .ff for a Sunday picnic. The road beside the old church, past the i.ulpturcd brigands, winds up a lair hill, along shady lanes and pleasant paths, and leads to the "Drei Linden," where you get a fine view. You can see the picturesque t" d, with its quaint old bridges, and its line of gray towers set along the angles of its ancient wall, and the lake lies blue be side t, and there are snow-capped moun tuns in the background, and on the left r ps the peak ot the Highi, and on the i .'lit nnvns the black cliff of Pilatus. As i dc cecd you pass a placard which in to ni- ou lor how many centimes a foot you i, tiuv land on that pleasant hillside, with an mat view otKy and hill thrown m 1 The best thing in Lucerne unless the weai v traveler were to name the Schweiger hof Hotel is the great lion, designed by Thorwaldsen, and cut in the face or the liv ing rock, larger than life. Above, the vines grow overhanging the grotto of the lion; beneath in a pool of water the hungry swans are sailing about The lion lies wounded and dying, a great spear broken in his side, his paw even in death protecting the lilies of France. There are people chattering and children jd iviug. The man who keeps the garden where the queer stones are which some old glacier scooped out into strange shapes, is passing around his persuasive handbills. The church bells are ringing. But you look at THAT GEEAT OKAY LION and read the list of Swiss names written in a roll of honor upon the rock beneath, and your thoughts go back to those fierce days in Paris when that guard of Helve tian t-oldiers stood at the post of duty and looked death in the face, and never thought ot playing coward. It was a fine, brave deed that they did, and their memorial set in this great rock is the stateliest monu ment in Europe. There is nothing in West minster Abbey equal to it. It is worth more than Nelson's column in Trafalgar' Square and Napoleon's arch in the Champs jiiv&t-ts vui logeiner. Evert dv ho visits Lucerne goes bv s.eauierto Flueien and by railroad up the Bighi, and so sees the most beautiful lake in Europe and enjoys the sensation of climb tucanAlp without climbing. Lake Lu cerne owes its reputation for beauty to its .bores. You journey over the blue waters among the green mountains. And if there is a company of Swiss peasants on board the boat, as there was when we made the trip, and ir they nave a brass band with then! and are in good voice, as they were that fine day, you will get a concert "which is worth hearing. The railroad up the Bighi is as 6teep as the Mount "Washington incline, but you go up in a railroad car with an engine. Each engine takes one car, and pushes from behind, and up you go as il you were climbing a spire of Cologne Cathedral, higher and higher, getting wider and wider views ot country, until you get among the clouds. You look off the peak of the Bighi, when the clouds will let you, and you can see a great stretch, more than a hundred miles in length, of snow-clad Alps. Yon look down, when the clouds do not drift in between you and the view, and there is the country like a colored map. The lakes are blue as a blue ribbon, the fields are green, with squaresjof yellow where the grain is growing, little towns are clustered here and there, and between them reach the gray thin lines of road. And then the mists float past and draw a close Teil over the picture. The sun shines in a perfectly blue sky over your head, the clouds are beneath you. BEAUTIFUL 12TTEKLAKKN. From Lucerne the way goes over Brunig Pass to Interlaken. Interlaken is beauti ful for situation. The little town lies in the heart of the great mountains, between two of the loveliest of all lakes. From its long, wide, shaded street vou see the white shin ing of the Jungfrau, the fairest of the Alps. One day we hired an einspanner and drove out to Grindelwald. That is where the glacier is. The road is hot and dusty. The real Swiss weather is spending the summer in England this year. The August ot Italy is passing its vacation in the Alps. But all along the road runs a river of ice water! Here is a pretty good sized river, rushing and tumbling about over the rocks, making a great noise, and the river is nothing but melted ice. It comes from the great glacier. By and by, at Grin delwald, you climb up the side of the moun tain, over the ttones which the glacier dropped here ages ago, and yon look in at the gorge which the ice has worn in the rock, out of which pours that- chill river, and you get up to the beginning of the glacier. CJThe sun seems hot enough to cook by, yet here is a wide field of ice and snow, reach ing away over the mountain. If you choose to have a rope tied about your waist, with the other end tied about the guide's waist, in case either of you should slip, you can take an alpenstock and find out just how far away the ice reaches, iou can enjoy toe singular sensation of having your head scorched and yonr feet frozen at the same moment Even if you decline such a labo rious experience, you can still adventure into the ice cave, which prudent men, watch ful of centuries, have dug in the glacier, and you can leave the fierce sun outside and have a roof of ice and a floor of ice, and walls of ice, nobody knows how many feet thick. And then you will buy some edel weiss, which you might have h'ad the glory of gathering for yourself, if you had tried the rope and alpenstock journey, and will climb down again over the broken rocks, talking painful and broken German with your guide, and the einspanner will take you back to Interlaken. G. H. TOO WELL FILLED. A Ble Man Officiating; In a Little Man's Fulplt. "You have often heard of the Bev. Mr. Blank being away and his pulpit being 'filled' by a supply," said a gentleman on the street i&te last evening, "but have you ever beard of a case where the supply 'slopped over?' I attended a church to night where there was a case of this kind. The regular pastor happens to be very small of stature, while the gentleman who took his place was a very tall man. As a result the Bible stand was entirely too low and bad to be spliced. First, a large family bible was placed on the stand, then came two rows of library books, three high, and still the tall minister had to stoop a little. The man who makes an adjustable pnlpit that any sized man will just 'fill' will make a little tortune for himself and supply a long felt want." THEY WOJPX BBEAZ THE TBTST. Four Clilcnfionm Deny Tlint They Were to Start a Distillery. Chicago, September 14. Neslon Mor ris, P. D. Armour, S. W. Z. Allerton and Peter Fuller united in announcing to-day, over their own signatures, that they have no intention of becoming interested in any manner in distillery projects.

The most deliberate suicide ever known in the city occurred this afternoon when an un known man threw himself in front of a coal train. The engineer, however, stopped the train before it reached the man. The would-be suicide then waited until the passenger train came along, when he got on the track again and was run over and horribly mutilated. PULLED THEOUGH A FEHCE.

Tha Speaker Regarded as a Formidable Eiral of the Flamed Knight Iff THE RACE FOR THE PRESIDENCI rrKOM X STAFF CORRESPONDENT .1 "Washington, September 14. The re markable re-election of Speaker Beed to Congress has produced a political compli cation in the State of Maine that will almost undoubtedly lead to something politically dramatic in the not distant future. For the first time in long Years the standing of James G. Blaine is challenged as the most conspicuous political figure in Maine, and not only in Maine but in the whole country. It is the opinion of some very astute poli ticians that Big Tom Beed has a stronger grasp upon the strict party men of his party than any other man in the country. That he will capture outright or hopelessly divide the little delegation of six from the State ot Maine in the nex'- National Convention, is the opinion of everybodv. To say nothing of his real political strength as compared with tbat of Blaine, he is in active politics and Blaine is not. He can lay plans and pull wires for the nomination and Blaine cannot, on account of his relations with the head of an administration who will certain ly be a candidate himself for the renomina tion. Blaine is a man of immense re sources, however, and if he wants a nomina tion which he refused two years ago when he might have had it for the saying, he will be a dangerous if not fatal antagonist to any who enter the lists with him. But Heed's power as a leader and manager is only beginning to be known. His dra matic and memorable and far-reaching policy as Speaker of the House is but be ginning to be appreciated, and now that it is emphasized by his re-election by the largest majority ever given him, he may be expected to grow in popularity and power in his party with a rapidity and certainty mat win oe aimcutt to counteract. Reeu'a Mronc Rule. The wisdom of the election of Beed to the Speakership of the House has been demon strated almost eyery day of the session. "When that memorable contest was on; when the Bepublicans for the first time in many years were called on to select the chief offi cer of the House, the grave question of rev olutionizing the rules did not confront-the members. It was not talked of, not consid ered, and would not have been understood if it had been, because it required a deal of study and argument to convince even many Bepublic ans after the revolution had been brought to a successful conclusion. -It is admitted now that none of the candidates who op posed Beed would have been equal to the crisis. They would have had the will, but not the courage nor the tact. Beed more than sized up the situation. When many of the leading Bepublicans quailed in the face of the storm that was raised, and showed a disposition to soften and retreat, Beed did not swerve the breadth of a hair, never discovered a nervous tremor, never allowed a quiver of the voice sug gestive of the least excitement, never for a moment lost that equanimity that is one of his distinguishing peculiarities, hut by nis caimnesn ano occasional quiet sarcasm and irony urged his furious opponents to greater exhibitions of senseless rage; and the blunders resulting from their frenzy were always turned to good account. The record of those January days stands unparalleled in the annals of Congress. The tactics proposed by the Democrats were well known. They made no secret of their determination to obstruct the trialof every one of the contested election cases and to prevent the passage of a tariff bill. The shrewdest correspondents on the Bow pre dicted that it would be a Congress of filibus tering, and that no legislation not wanted by the minority wonld be enacted by the major ity. To prevent the revolutionary minority from obstructing the majority at every turn, under the operation ot antiquated rules, the rules were changed to give the Speaker the power to determine when motions were dila tory to refuse to entertain them after tbey became so, and to prevent the breaking of a quorum oy the refusal of members to vote by counting members present and not voting. Hare Political Bravery. The pages of the Record containing the history of the last week of January and the first weeks of February, are an illustration of the bravery, ability and judicial poise of one man such as cannot be found elsewhere In the books of the proceedings of a parlia mentary body. The scenes of disorder which were coincident with the first pro cedure of the Speaker to "count a quorum," are without their counterpart even in the days of the discussion of the questions aris ing Irom slavery. Time after time as the Speaker refused blandly to' entertain motions that were grow mossy with age in the mouths of fillibnsterers, and proceeded to count a quorum by calling out the names of those present and not voting, be was interrupted with violent epithets and the most insulting personalities ever heard on the floor of the House. He was never ruffled for one moment He would wait for the volume of shouts and epithets to subside, and calmly continue to call out the names, occasionally making a courteous request tbat the Mouse be in order. Spring er, of Illinois, was one of the noisiest and most insulting of the Democrats, and yet the harshest word the Speaker said to him at any time was: "Will the gentleman from Illinois now kindly allow the House to proceed?" Bepeatedly when the Speaker requested the House to proceed in order the turious Democrats would shout back: "We are in order. It is you who arc out of order." Next to Springer, Bynum was probably the most obstreperous. On one occasion this colloquy occurred: The Speaker The gentleman from Indi ana will be in order. Mr. Bynum The gentleman from Indi ana is in order. I propose, Mr. Speaker, to stand here in behalf of the rights of the constituency I represent on this floor. You, sir, nave violated more than anv man on this floor parliamentary rules, parliamentary practice. You may consummate what you have undertaken to do. Yon have the power, backed up by a mob. . Applause and cheer ing on the Democratic side. The Speaker Gentlemen will refrain from expressions of opinion. Mr. Bynum They may well refrain Mr. Speaker. The people of the country are witnessing the arbitrary, outrageous and damnable rulings otthe chair, in defiance of parliamentary law, in defiance of right and justice. They have spoken through the press or the country, and they have spoken in condemnation of these proceedings which will bury you beyond resurrection. And much more to the same effect. But let us stop there. The funeral occasion is over, but the corpse is wonderfully alive and vigorous. I don t think Mr. "Bynum, or any of the Democrats, like to turn back to those pages of the Record. To read them now, the frenzied shout of Springer and Bynum and Crisp and Mills and Bland and McMillan, sound like the tales of idiots, full of sound and fury, but signifying nothing. Every frank and fair man among them long ago admitted the good sense of the revolution that was brought about in the management of the House, no matter how much it galled them at times, even as many of then admitted at the time that the rules adopted by Beed should have been the rules of the House long ago. Bnt this Demo cratic outcrraiid Unparalleled abuse earn .Beed opportunity to show his abilities' as a master of men. He not only conquered. but he showed the possession of a vast re serve force that would have been equal to even greater emergencies. It proved that this big, lumbering, lazy-looking fellow, with a rasping, nasal voice .and no preten sion -tn oratory, but who ' was always as ready for any crisis as though be had learned his lesson by note, is a man who, though conspicuously appreciated by his constituents at the polls, is yet to be known at his lull value; and certain to be a great figure in the counsels of the nation in those years of terrible trial that are to come. It is perfectly natural that under the circum stances he should lie considered a dangerous rival by Blaine and Hale, for the political control of the State. The followers of the Plumed Knight no more sneer at the sug gestion that Beed and his friends may master the State, and a common answer to the query: "Who will be the Kepublican candidates for President and Vice Presi dent in 1892?" is "Beed and McKinley."

A IHSER STARVES TO DEATH. A Man Worth Thousands of Dollars Dies tn Filth and Wretchedness. New Yobk, September 14. lit a dark, filthy box of a room on the second floor of a tenement house at No. 219 East One Hun dred and Second street an old man died from exhaustion yesterday, caused by lack of proper food, which he was too miserly to buy, although in the room and almost with in reach of the dirty lounge upon which he breathed his last were concealed bank books in which several thousand dollars were re corded to his credit. Besides this, it was developed after the discovery of his death that he had been the owner of no less than three tenement houses. The wretched old man, whose insanegreed of gold had deadened all other senses, was discovered from papers found in the room to be Gustav A. Tuchel. Until then no one in tbe tenement had known his name. He had lived for 11 months in the filthy, box-like room, for which he paid $7 a month.
