Special TELEGRAM to the Globe. /

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.--''Geth'' sends the
following about Willard 70 the Enquirer.
Henry Wizards block Of residences, BY some
called Florentine, is in the rear Of the eathe-
dral here. While Willard has scooted, gen
tleman in Oregon sends me the following
interesting letter upon the subject of the
Northern Pacific railway, which Horace
White forgot during the last
campaign, that be had ever been secretary OF
treasurer Of. He was engaged in calling
another man '-thief,m etc. Says my friend
Yesterday received a pamphlet from Gen.
Adna Anderson, engiueer-in OF the
Northern Pacific railroad. being his reply to
Mr.. Henry Villar DIS declaration In his state
ment that what broke he Northern Pacific
enterprise down was the underestima tes
made by the engineers. Gen. Anderson :
pamphlet is correct. he is a good man
In tue early part Of the war he
lived in Tennessee and was employed by the
state 10 build Fort DonelsOn. He left there
and came north ana joined the Union army.
He soon was made brigadier and put in
charge Of army railroads under Grant in the
west He is a man Of ffty-iye and stands
well as a man and engineer. One Of his
mistakes, If not his greatest mistake, was
Mr.. Wizards putting Hans Thielsen, an
old Danish lumberer, as supervising
engineer in the west. he was totally incom-
petent and he appointed an incompetent
chap named j. l. Hallelt superintendent Of
construction. Hallett is brother OF the J.
X Hallett who, while contractor on the Kan

that Thielsen and Hallett, by their wretched
management aud worse, squandered

portion of which they got themselves, anG
they allowed others TO get away with il. An
derson. engineer in chief, tried to get out
long before they were dismissed and he was
backed up by Thomas F. Cakes, the vice
president, but Mr.. Willard stood by them,
and besides paying Hallett's salary, actually
two Christmases in succession, sent
him as presents check for
$40, 600 and, stranger than all, when Halleti
was dismissed Mr.. Willard sent him letter
of thanks for the energy, honesty and ability
ne had displayed in his management To
Ttielsen, l believe, he also presented
SIC, OO0 The Portland division is built forty
miles. It is completed except the
ferries and was completed on the sth o.
September, 1888, when he, President Willard
went over it in his private car running
TWENTY-FIVE miles per hour. The contrac
price was abouttwenty cents for the earth in
the cuts and embankments and the well ex
cavations were s1.40 per cubic yard. Gen
Anderson told me he believed the earth ex.
eavation done by Tbielsen and Hallett COS
the Northern Pacific company 81 per yard.
These are some facts that may at some tim'
be useful to you, and are mighty interesting
private history known to insiders but not Il
outsiders.
