Opposing the Nicaragua Route

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-Some very curl
Gus indications have been observed for the
last ten days or two weeks, in regard to the
purposes of quite number of those most
prominently connected with the Nicaragua
Canal scheme, while few are, no doubt,
earnestly in favor of pushing the enterprise,
and there is no doubt that others as promi-
nent as any, are rather dlscouraeing than ia
voring active operations. This latter class is
found in every instance to be interested In
Jay Gould's plan of southwestern connect
ton with the Pacific through Mexico, and
there are quite number of very shrewd OBJ
servers here who believe that the Nicaragua
scheme is being used by some of those who
pass as its promoters, simply as the means
bv which all other canal projects can be de-
feated, the object of defeating them being to
advance the interests of the Mexican railway
scheme. In this connection news has reach
ed here from Panama that one of the princi-
pal agents of the Pacific Mail line is now en-
gagged in preparing to establish line of
steamers on the Pacific with terminus at
Guaymas on the Mexican Coast. The sig
nitcance of this consists in the fact Quay
mas is one of the western termini of the pro-
jected Jay Gould system of Mexican rail-
ways.

ANOTHER RAILROAD.
A Line to be Built from Granger, Utah, 10
Baker City, Oregon.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-Mr. j. w. Morse
General Passenger Agent Union Pacific r. R.
has just returned from New York, where he
and other officials of the road have been ner.
fecting arrangements for the construction IF
new line from Granger, Utah. to Baker
City, Oregon, where connection is to be made
with the Oregon railway, now In course Of
construction, to Portland and other poin,s
in Oregon. II Is the intention of the u. p.
to get ahead of the Northern Pacific in reach
ing Oregon points, and provide a competing
line that is claimed will be 800 miles shorter
to Portland, Oregon, taking Chicago as a
common point, than the Northern Pacific.
The new line will start from Granger station
and run northward to connect with the U. X
N, also controlled by the u. p. The U. Il
N. might have been used all the way from
Ogden, but by building q new line from
Granger northwest $50 miles in length the
route Is shorter $50 miles in the building of
this connecting link. A tunnel 1000 feet
long has to be constructed and work on this
has already been commenced. Work on the
ne" line will be commenced at once and it
is expected to be ready for business TO Baker
City in one year. While the parties were
in New York arrangements were also COM
pleted for taking control of the Kansas Cen
trail r. r. This road runs from Leavenworh
west to Onaga, Pottawattomie County, Kan
sas. The U. =. agrees to assume the debt
of this line, and will at once extend 1t to
Clay Centre, where connection Is to to be
made with the Junction City branch of the
Kansas Pacific. The principal object of the
U. p. in getting control of this road is to
prevent it from falling into the hands of RI
val lines and to cover territory which has as
yet no other railroad facilities.

members in great rage. The message said:
al must again direct your attention to the
spread Of polygamy In this Territory, under
the fostering influence of the Mormon
s,hurch. As the reasonable suggestions con.
tanned In my communication delivered at
the opening of YOUR session have not yet
been acted upon, / deem Ii proper 10 once
more revert TO the subject. would urge
the immediate adoption of extreme meas
ures to extirpate the evil. Polygamy Is
Mormon church doctrine, and the practice Is
urged and made obligatory upon the MEM
bers of the church for the purpose Of bind,
Ing them more firmly to the organization.
The Legislature paid no attention 70 the sag-
gestions.

Washington Gossip.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-It having been
lntimated that possibly Senator Thurman's
opposition to the confirmation of Stanley
Matthews may have been inspired by the
hope that he would himself be appointed to
the Supreme Bench, friend of the Senator
is authority for the statement that he has de-
clared that he would not accept Supreme
Court Judgeship if it were offered him by
either President Hayes or Garfield, but that
On the contrary he is anxious to retire from
public life and be permanently relieved of
all its cares and burdens. Senator Blaine is
still confined to his house with rheumatism,
but is mending rapidly. 1t is rumored that
he is now arranging to leave the Senate by
resignation next week. This would give
Maine Legislature the requisite ten days no.
tice of an existing vacancy and afford an OPP
portunity to elect Congressman Frye as his
successor In time to enable the latter to take
his seat very soon after the fourth Of March.

Mr.. DeWoffe further said the very character
of the delegation from Deer Lodge county In
this Legislature was determined on the issue
of . division Of the county. j. In this House
two were Republicans and four were Demo-
Gratis. and they were elected on this Issue.
But he neglected . mention Of few impor-
tant facts, one.of which that no one outside
Of Butte had knowledge ofthe sissuer and
that Il was the product Of few men In Butte.
When political aspirants, tricksters and other
sore heads are allowed full sway In county
elections It Is no real wonder that men can
be elected on any Issue. We are thankful to

Favorable to Eads' Plan.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE House com

that an investment of foreign capital under
foreign charter cannot be disconnected from

The Panama route offers our commerce no
advantages over that of foreign nations. The
de Lesseps scheme would cost 100000, 900
and take 20 years to complete. The Mica
rasua is not free from objection and is inferi-
or to the Tehuantepec in advantages. The
practicability of Eads' ship railway has been
fully proven, and it can be constructed at !!
the cost of a canal with locks and completed
in 5 years.

A GREAT man tells Redfeld that when he
took his first slIice the position Of Governor
of great State like Pennsylvania or Ohio
was considered more honorable and, In fact,
"higher," than TO be a United States Sena-
tor. OF late years he had noticed a wonder
full change in this respect, and he declared
that the average man would now prefer to be
door keeper In Washington rather than to
be q State Senator. A member Of Congress
Is now regarded rs 81 bigger man "than the
Governor Of State. This tendency Is grow
ing and the ultimate result, IL Is alleged BY
those who are watching the course OF events,
will be that after while nobody will take a
State office who by any possibility can get a
Federal Office. The pay Is usually better
and the honors more lofty.
