Of the new iron bridge over James river.
This bridge has been completed, with the
exception Of the abutnent and approach
on the north side. The eos. so far has been
sl4S. 2G3 80, which does not exceed the
original estimate OF Mr.. J. r. Keniy, en-
eirecr. The cost has been paid partly by
the sale OF bonds and partly out OF surplus
earnings. IL may reasonably he expected
that the bridge can be completed out Of
earnings without further increase OF the debt
or interference with the payment OF a regu.
hr dividend. The bends that matured
last April have been paid, and the company
owes no floating debt. A semi-annual
dividend Of = per cent. payable
on the Ist January next, has been de-
cared. The report Of the superintendent
shows the expenditures for permanent BET
tcrmcnts made during the year, included
in operating expenses.

Fence CUTTING.

Galveston, January 12.-The house
special committee on fence cutting
heard the evidence this afternoon as to
the lawlessness in Coleman and Run
nell counties. They we're informed
that every fence is down except one,
and that is guarded day and night by
armed men, and that q number of
houses and many enclosed pastures
have been burned. 1t was shown that
great deal of land that was fenced in
was not owned by the owners of the
fences. Out OF 40 men giving in City
head and over of cattle each for taxes.
twenty-seven owned land enough for
gra zing tleir cattle, fifty-one owned no
land and ftty-nine only enough to live
on. One man owning 1000 head of
horses, did not own a single acre, and
another man owning 1900 head of
horses had only two and three quarter
acres. The owners are forming into
companies as they despair of protection
from the state.

Washington, January 1.-THE sub
committee of cattlemen appointed to
prepare a bill for the suppression and
extirpation of pleuro-pneumonia and
other contagious diseases of domestic
animals, have completed the proposed
measure. 1t was submitted to the entire
committee Of cattlemen appointed at
the recent Chicago convention and ac-
cepted. The bill will be given to the
house committee on agriculture on
Monday.
Representative Wilson, of Iowa, ex-
hibited at the capitol to-day the lungs
of three head of cattle intended for the
Washington market slaughtered to-day.
One showed early stages Of pleuro-
pneumonia, the second had Just become
affected, and the third was absolutely
rotten. The cattle were bought and
killed by the order of Commissioner
Loring.

The Chinese Question,

Washington, January l2.-The sem
ate committee on foreign relations at a
meeting to-day took up the bill pre-
pared by the Pacific coast delegations
and introduced in the senate by Sena-
tor Miller, of California, amending the
Chinese immigration act of last con-
gress. The discussion was q long one
and not confined to the merits of the
bill in hand, but involved the original
questions developed when the anti
Chinese bill was under discussion.
This was due to the fact that some
members of the committee had never
dealt with the subject before in COM
mittee.
The bill was finally referred to a sub
committee consisting Of Miller, Wilson
and Morgan. The tone of the debate
gave warrant to the opinion that 4
measure having the purpose Of correct
ing the defects Of the present law and
prohibiting the importation of Chinese
laborers would be reported by the COM
mittee,

Pendleton, Oregon, January 12.-At
the beginning OF the week 200 railroad
g were discharged, and spent their
money for whisky and in riotous living.
They came here two days ago dead
broke and demanded a free ride to
Portland, but were refused, and yester-
day boarded the regular west bound
train and held possession OF it. The
authorities appealed to General Miles,
who ordered u company of infantry
sent Immediately from Walla Walla.
When they arrived the armed mob
still refused to leave the train, but per-
mitted the mail a to go. The situa-
ton is ~perilous, as 500 more discharged
men are expected to arrive Sunday. No
outbreak has yet occurred. The citi-
zens are doing their best to provide for
the men, who are perfectly destitute.
No serious difficulty is anticipated.

Fresh From the Ranch.

Mr.. E. L. Swazey, who is interested
with Mt. Walter w. Neef, of the Chi
cage office of the Western associated
press, in several cattle ranches in Wyo-
ming territory, is spending a few days
in the city. To a Tribune reporter he
said yesterday that there had been very
little real cold weather in Wyoming
this winter, and consequently there had
been little or no suffering among the
cattle. He spent most Of his time on
their ranches, which we're located In a
rugged, billy country south of the
Union Pacific railroad and about one
hundred and fifty miles west Of Chey-
enne. The nearest supply statation
was within forty miles of them, and
they always made it a point every fall
to put in enough stores to last them I'M
til June, as there was very little freight
done out there in the winter. There
was always a good deal of snow, which
was needed for water for cattle. They
had about two hundred acres of good
grazing land in three or four ranches.
