Hong Kong, Singapore, Colombo, Aden, Port Said, and Brindisi. From Bran-disi she took the Indian mail train to Calias and crossed to Dover. Then she went to London by train and crossed England to Holly head, took the ferry across the Irish sea to Dublin, caught the Bothnia at Queenstown, and sailed for New York last Sunday. Nellie Bly had nine hours the start of Miss Bisland, but it looked for a long time as though the latter would arrive in New York first. Crossing the Indian Ocean however, Miss Bisland was much annoyed to learn that fast German steamer Ems which she expected to meet at Southampton for home had been taken off.

Otherwise she would have been sure that her voyage would be a success. The Bothnia at Qeens-town was the only boat available, and it is a slow one, and will bring her into New York too late. Miss Bisland cables that she has had no adventures, and there has been no exciting incident, The utmost kindness was displayed everywhere by everybody. The news of the arrival at Brindisi, Thursday, of Miss Bisland revived interest in the race around the world in marked degree. Vigorous efforts were made Friday to enable Miss Bisland to catch the French steamer La Champagne, which was slated to leave Havre at 6 a.

m. Saturday. It was known that the first India mail train from Brindisi would reach London at 3 m. that day. The train does not stop at Paris, but clows down at Fontaine-bleau, about twenty miles out of the city, where the Paris passengers, who have been transfered at Bijou to a rear car, are sent on by a flying swich to another track, and the engine then takes them into Paris.

It was impossible to communicate with Miss Bisland on the train from Brindisi, but it was supposed that the young lady would stop at Paris to ascertain whether it was not possible to catch the Champagne, then failing this, she wonld have had time to go to London to catch the fast night mail for the Sunday steamer at Queens-town. A special train at a cost of $300 was ordered to be in readiness at Paris and the French steamship company was appealed to to hold the Champagne at Havre until this special could bring Miss Bisland from Paris to that part. What was the astonishment of Miss Bisland's friends and the disappointment of those who had bet upon the arrival before her competitor when a cable from Paris was received to the effect that Miss Bisland had not gone to Paris at all, that the Champagne had waited at Havre till 10 a. and had then sailed without her.

PASSES THROUGH HUTCHINSON ON HER WAY HOME. Arrived at San Francisco Tuesday Will Arrive at New Tork Saturday She Talks to Hutchinson Ladies Her Seventieth day Around the World in Seventy-two Days Interesting Incidents. Miss Nellie Bly, who was sent out bv the New York World, to make a trip around the world, passed through Hutchinson at 2 p. m. to-day.

It was pretty generally known through the city that a special, train carrying Miss Bly would pass through on the Santa Pe and a tremendous crowd of ladies and gentlemen congregated at the depot to see the distinguished little lady. The train pulled in slowly and made a stop of ten minutes. Miss Bly stepped out upon lhe platform and shook hands and conversed freely with all about her concerning her trip and her experience. She stated to The World reporter that she had been traveling for seventy days, had worn the same dress all the time, had enjoyed splendid health and had eaten three full meals every day. Miss Bly was cherful, and made everyone feel perfectly at home in her presence.

She stated that she was born in Pennsylvania. HISTORY OF HER TRIP. Nellie Bly sailed from New York to Southampton Nov. 14. She went by rail to London, and then across the English Channel from Dover to Calais, going from there to Amiens to see Jules Verne.

She came back to Calais and caught the regular Indian mail train through France and Italy to Brindisi, on the heel of the boot of Italy. Thence she sailed across the Mediterranean sea to Port Said, at the mouth of the Suez Canal. From there she sailed through the canal and down the Red Sea to Aden on the Arabian coast, and thence through the gulf of Aden and across the Indian ocean to Colombo, Ceyloe, From Colombo she went across the sea of Bengal to Singapore on the Malay penensula, and from there through the China sea to Hong Kong on the Chinese coast; from Hong Kong through the Formosa channel to Yokohama, on the eastern side of Japan, and thence directly across the Pacific to San Francisco. The, route from San Francisco is by the Southern Pacific via Mojave, Albuquerque, Hutchinson and Kansas City. Nellie Bly made this remarkable tour with no other baggage than a small hand satchel.

She left New York with but one gown, and that upon her back. In the satchel were necessary changes of clothing, five copies of the New York World of that day, and 500 in Bank of England notes, besides her railroad and steamer tickets for the entire journey. A snug-fitting, double-peaked cap, a light plaid ulster with a hood, and pair of easy fitting shoes completed her equipment. Miss Bly arrived at Calais in ample time to take the Brindisi mail-train. This train, commonly called the Indian mail, is one of the famous traltis of the world.

She arrived at Brindisi on time and took the steamer Victoria of the Peninsular and Oriental Lino from that point, She left Brindisiat at 9 a. m. Nov. 25, crossed the Mediterranean, and sailed through the Suez canal, arriving at Ismaila Nov. 28.

From Ismaila her journey lay through the Red sea. Across the Arabian sea the Victoria sped with its plucky little passenger, and arrived at Colombo, on the island of Ceylon, Dec. 8. Here the World' 's globe-girdler left the Victoria to take another steamer for Hong Kong. She was two days ahead of her itinerary, but was obliged to spend these two days in Ceylon.

Dec. 18 Ntilie Bly, after passing through the straights of Malacca, was at Singapore, half-way round the world. Her eight day's ride through the Indian Ocean carried her over the ruins of cities buried for long centuries beneath its tossing floods. She remained in the P. O.

steamer, which stopped at Singapore only long enough to permit the mails and its cargo to be handled, and Dec. 24, Christmas eve, reached Hong Kong, on the southeast coast of China. She had her Christmas dinner in the Chinese city. The first available means of transportation across the Pacific Ocean was the fast steamer Oceanic of the Occidental and Oriental line. This steamer was scheduled to leave Hong Kong for San Francisco Dec.

28, and that day Nellie Bly bade adieu to the Celestial Empire. Five days later she was at Yoke-fa ama, Japan, where she arrived Jan. 2. The Oceanic carries Chinese and Japanese mails to the United States. It had to wait until Jan.

7, at Yokohama for the mail. This made another five day's delay. At daylight Tuesday the Oceanic arrivee in San Francisco. Miss Elizabeth of the Cosmopolitan Magazine, Nellie Bly's rival as a globe trotter, who began a circuit of the earth traveling westward, while Miss Bly's course was to tho east, left New York Nov. 14 on the New York Central and went by that road and the Lake Shore to Chicago.

There she took the Northwestern to Omaha and thence across by the Union and Central Pacific roads to San Frdncisco. From San Francisco she simply reversed the trip of Nellie Bly, going to Yokohama, WHITELAV HUMPHREY. Attorneys at Law.

The report which was intended to: be kept very quiet by certain quill manipulators of the city, to-day, that Nellie Ely's special train would pass through this place at 1 o'clock, escaped the lips and became general news, so that by 1 o'clock the depot platform resembled a mob ready to receive a political stump speaker.
