A sea. serpent of marvelous length and sise has made its appearance la Togua pond nar this city. Bow. the serpent got into the pond from tbe sea is a deep mystery, which Is puxxrtng all the natives hereabouts. Several persons have seen K.

among them Professor B. W. Tbieme, the leader of the brass band at the Soldiers' Home, at. Togua, and a man of undoubted veracity. Professor Tbieme gives this description of the monster: "When I was still fishing for bass in the so-called cove at Togua Lake, I noticed what I first believed to be a black painted row boat with two occupants going down tbe eastern, shore at o'clock in the morning.

I watched it closely, because of its making unusually rapid time in such an extremely hot morning. I waa surprised at seeing no oars or paddles. while rosing the lake In front of FUherman'a Island, and coming within about one hundred yards of my boat, 1 saw it was tbe quick moving body of a black serpent fully eighteen feet long; the bead and; forepart at least seven feet, and tbe part following fully five feet above water. It proceeded within one hundred yards of the western shore, and disappeared with a tremendous splash. It was not seen again until 9 o'clock, when it appeared bigger than before, and sank with, a fearful splash.

Editor.) tiLAVi srsuscaaxa. Be May seeare Cent! ef the fiestas-a San Francisco. Cat. July 27. 1837 A sensational report is in circulation here to the effect that Claua SpnckJes has now under consideration a plan to buy out the Stanford and Crocker interests in tbe Southern Pacific Railway Company.

It Is being seriously discussed-by men familiar with railroad matters hers. There is no that Mrs. Stanford would be glad to close out her railway interests ll she could be sssured they wouid not fall into the hands of Huntington. r. 8preck.es has lent the Southern Pacific between and 82.w-0.0u0 in the last three years, aad has money if reports be corrvct, to carry such gigantic deal as is rumored.

He is ambitious to controll the Stats a greatest intercuts, and as builder of the Valley Railroad, now under way. is the man most to bs frsred by the Southern Pacific sines it Is no secret that upon the completion of his line It will form the lsst link of competing overland line, of which tbe Santa Fe sstem will be eS Important part, It Is not improbable that the Crocker i i ii lit a ib- m. transfer, as the death of Colonel Charles Crocker isayes nis netrs wnnow among them to take an active part in the management of the big railway system. True or filse. the rumor is the talk of hcur in commercial circles here.

Frsportog to Carry the 4raJa Crep. -Chicago. July XI. The officials of the Atchison Road are hopeful that the movement of the season's crop of grain in the West will give the road the largest earnings It baa ever If tbe threatened rush -of the grain shippers in the direction of Galveston can be averted by the railroads It Is thought that the Atchison will move at least 40.000.000 bushels of grain out of Kansas and Texas before the dose of the year. This will be much more business than the road has ever done, but the officials of the line say that they have most excellent reasons to think that this will be the outcome.

At present tbe shops at Topeka cannot turn out cars with sufficient rapidity to meet the' demands made upon the rolling stock of the road by the grain shippers. Other western roads report similar conditions, and all are hopeful of a largely Increased business as soon as the grain begins to move. ----h COtmCII. Sf TBE BEIDOE.

Reading; and Potts-ville Telegraph Company has Just celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the sending of the first message over its lines. It was chartered March 15, 1847 less than three years after the rcom-pletion of Prof. Morse's line between Washington and Baltimore and it claims to be the eldest telegraph' line in the United States.

Today it retains the original same under which it was chartered. The first wire was strung in 1S4T from Philadelphia, to Pottsville, ad It is said that the first message sent over the line related to news from the Mexican. War. It has always maintained an Independent' organ! sat ion, nd its escape from being swallowed op ry the Western Union, like many its rivals, is regarded as little short miraculous, '--y. i From Its single wire of 104 voiles in ImT row has a boat 1.I0S miles of pole Isie and ever B.OuO miles of wire, with about Mv offices and SGw operators.

The improvements in telegraphic service in these fifty years have been most mar vellous, and the R. A P. has kept Pce with all of them.

July 27. The Figaro today published an article bearing on the relations between the United States aad Japan. Its Importance ts heightened by the manifest Indications It bean of being for only those In tbe Inner circle of Japanese affairs could possibly have given our contemporary any idea of the object which has caused the Marquis Ito to come to Paris at this particular' Juncture. The article, which la headed "Le Voyage du Marquis Ito," is as follows: (Translatloo.j "Le Marquis Ito has been in Paris since the day before yesterday, and Is topping at the Hotel Continental, where his spartments have been reserved by tbe cares of tbe Legation. This astute, energetic and very amiable diplomatist is now busy dealing with the delicate situation created in Japan by the pretensions of the United States In the matter of the annexation of tbe Sandwich Islands.

It appears that be has come to Europe to protest most energetically in the name of his government against what he calls a usurpation big with dangers, and be declares to his friends that Japan, which has had to against greater difficulties at the time of the war with China, will go on to tbe end with the United States. "We must not, therefore, be surprised tf one of these days we have to announce a rupture of the relations between these two countries in tbe case the annexation projects are maintained. This would not. probably, mean a declaration of war. but it would be the beginning of hostilities, more or less open, the results of which would be harmful and which might have In store surprises of alt kinds, for $0,000 Japanese, almost all veteran soldiers are already living In the Hawaiian Islands, and tbe natives of the country number as many.

The objei tbe Marquis Ito's Journey is to vout to Europe rather too neglectful, according to him the peril of this annexation to which the vigo-pus Japanese people, still tinder the spell of Us victories, Is opposed to the utmost, "In any case this Journey and the complications foreseen by the Marquis Ito strangely confirm the fears already expressed in America by thoughtful men, and they impart new force to the wise advice that the New York Herald gave the other day, with so much courage and loyalty, to its too turbulent and rather alarm rog fellow citiseus."
