If an understanding is then found to be

over q large span, as it makes an un-

accumulate on the end braces. How
ever, it would have been strong had the
main braces been made heavy, accord
ing to the design. He intended they
should be strengthened, but did not re-
main with the company on account OF
a difficulty between himself and Mr..
Stone concerning the bridge. The main
braces were the only defective part OF
the bridge except its unnecessary
weight. 1t was calculated to bear two
to three tons to the lineal foot. His
difficulty with Stone was caused by the
refusal Of Stone to consider a plan for
strengthening the main braces.

Russian Racket.

London, Jan. 11.-Russia begins to
realize that she must mobilize larger
army to coerce Turkey. and that her
present modified force is insufficient,
and has produced no pacific sentiment.
Mobilization is fast extending to the
east and north of the empire. 1t is
probable that the Russians will soon
cross the Pruth. This step wouldn't
signify immediate war, but on the con-
trary be taken as means of avoiding
it by frightening the Turks into compli-

Secrets.

Secrets.
New York, Jan. 1.-THE Louisiana
law by penalty forbids the disclosure of
telegraphic dispatches, and Congress
having failed to enact any law over
riding this of the State legislature, good
lawyers fail to see how President Orton
or his subordinates can be held in con-
tempt for refusing to violate the Louisi-
ana law at the order, not of Congress,
but of committee Of one house only.
The Western Union authorities dis
claim any factiously obstructive pur-
pose. Their sole aim ;s'te throw the
responsibility on Congress, which
should enact laws giving notice to tele-
graphic correspondents just how far
their communications are privileged
and exempt from exposure.
It continues to be freely asserted
among Republicans that the House
won't compel compliance with its de-
mand, because prominent Tildenites
have discovered that they can't afford
to have the kilograms disclosed.
