GENERAL MANAGER Van Horne gives the
following facts concerning the Canadian
Pacific road TIE road will be constructed for
moro than $4,000 600 less than the estimate
of cost made last session. There is q good
deal of tunneling, but not much of formid-
able character. The longest tunnel is that
at Lake Kamloops, which extends some 800
feet. Starting from the Eastern slope the
road passes West through the Kicking Borse
pass, the Rogers pass and the Eagle pass,
coming out at Lake Kamloops. Fully two.
thirds of the mountain work may be de-
scribed as Of an easy character, more so than
that north Of Lake Superior, ninety miles of
the railway on the latter section costing
more 10 build than the whole Rocky Noun
tain section. The heaviest work we encoun-
ter is for distance of seventy miles west of
Sudbury Junction, and on the west slope of
the Rockies, and both these sections will be
finished this month. On the Lake Superior
section of the line the tunnels have all been
completed but one, and the heavy work may
be considered as accomplished. see moth
ing to prevent the completion Of the whole
railway from Csllsnder to the Pacific ocean

CHINA,S REPLY TO FRANCE.
John Wants to chin-chin at Tsein-Tsin.

PARIS, Sept. 12.-Tsung Ii Yamen, In re-
plying TO the French ultim alum of July II,
announces that in accordance with the sec
ond article of the Tsein Tsin provisional
treaty, China is prepared to withdraw Its
garrison from Tonquin after the expiration
of month, and that as China respected the
terms of the second article, France, they say,
ought to respect the third article. The
French demand for indemnity, they claim, is
not In accordance with the fifth Article Of
that treaty, is in prejudice of their friendly
relations and contrary to international law.
Tsun Ii Yamen asks If the Government of
France cannot wait until China withdraws
her troops from Tonquin, when q complete
treaty can be arranged. They also aver that
II the question of indemnity is not consid-
cred as settled by the Tsein Tsin treaty, the
demand for indemnity is opposed to the third
article. 1t is lamentable that arrangements
fer making q proper treaty should be delayed
by the demand for indemnity. The forcible
taking of guarantee and indemnity Is con-
trary to the treaty, and compels China to
give the treaty powers history of the Ton
quin question, together with q protest.
China and the latter Governments await an
opportunity TO discuss the question. Tsung
Ii Ysmen requests that Patenotre, the
French Ambassador, shall come to Tsien
Tsin to arrange definite treaty, and thereby
manifest mutual sincerity and strengthen the
friendly relations of the two nations. This
would be the proper mode of procedure &C
cording to International law. Tsung Ii va
men announces that they will not be moved
by any mans orders.
A report is current that negotiations with
China have been revived by France tending
10 peaceful settlement of ell questions at
issue.

The Northern Pacific Report.

NEw YORK, Sept. 1.-THE annual report
Of the Northern Pacific railroad is nearly
ready for publication. 1t states the business
has fully met the expectations of the most
sangune friends of the road. The net earn
ines are fully up to the estimates, showing q
surplus Of upward of 81, 0Oe, COO after paying
all the charges. This money, 1t is said,
really belongs to the preferred stockholders,
who are entitled to all the earnings after the
interest and charges are paid, but 1t was
thought wise by the Board to keep the money
on hand. The land sales reported for the
year amount to So, 400, 900, nearly one-half Of
which is applicable to the retirement Of pre-
ferred stock. Work on the Cascade division
is progressing rapidly, and at the end of this
year 1t is expected but II miles Of the road
will remain to be built to finish the road to
Puget Sound.
Other sources state the Northern Pacific
people estimate the value of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company's prop
erty at about twenty millions, while the
Bostonians, who own the Oregon Company,
claim It is worth little less than forty mill
lions. 1t is rumored the Oregon Transcon-
tinental Company will ask for representa-
ton In the Board Of Directors of the North
ern Pacific at the annual election.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 13.--1n the United
States District Court to-day the motion to
rule the plaintiff to answer the interrog ato-
ries in the Blaine Sentinel libel suit came up

was bossing the job. We wouldn't be sur

building, and If It should turn out that he

ardent, lifelong Democrat. When asked If

piled: "That Is mistake. I was employed.
II would be an honor, however, to any at
torney who could afford 1t and had time and
inclination to volunteer to prosecute the au-
thor or publisher of such ali article as that
against Blaine. But In this case cannot
claim the honor. Shoemaker seems to show
some feeling against me for being engaged In
this suit, and asks what the Democracy of
Indiana will think of me, thus Implying that
there is some kind Of political offense in
my conduct. 1t could not be so, unless the
defense Of the Sentinel is party measure,

WILLARD TO THE STOCKHOLDERS.
He Says the Engineers Misled Him In Estims
ting.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Henry Willard has
published In pamphlet form long statement
to the Northern Pacific stockholders, review
ing his labors In behalf of the company and
In justification of his career. He shows
how the engineers enormously underestima-
ted the cost of construction, and that by the
refusal of the President to act upon the ap-
plication of the company for the appoint
ment Of Commissioners to inspect additional
finished mileage Of 1882, caused their banks
to refuse TO advance any more money, and
their refusal to shut all other doors against
them. Describing this situation, Willard
says: "Tbus / was actually brought face to
face in February, 1882, with the necessity at
no distant date of suspension Of payment
anc Its calamitous consequences, bankruptcy
and foreclosure, unless relief could be OBJ
tanned from some quarter. / considered II
my duty to extend to the company personally
all the assistance In my power. Next, 1

tai Company to assist by loan Of its credit
and Of Its assets, TO be used as collaterals by
your company. commenced to make cash
advances on my personal account on April
IA, and continued them until August %,
when they reached the maximum amount Of
three millions, four hundred and forty .one
thousand dollars. lent this great sum
without any security whatever, and at the
risk Of my personal ruin. In view Of the
foul cslumnies spread about my manage
ment, claim as my privilege to give due
prominence to this fact. Nor will 1t be i'm.
proper, in view of the attitude recently
assumed towards me by certain members of
your Board of Directors, to say that my
record in this respect will suffer nothing by
comparison with the terms ON which they
loaned money To the company"
Here follows long array of figures, show
ing how the engineers last estimate was SO
per cent. under the cost, about whick Willard
says: "Here Is the true key TO and the sole
cause Of your aud my disappointments and
reverses that have overtaken the Oregon &
Transcontinental Company and me person
ally. strove constantly as President TO do
my whole duty to you conscienliousiy and
to the best Of my ability. did this at the
expense Of my health, my peace Of mind and
Of my private fortuns."
