The Washout.

News from the scene of the bridge wash
out, on the Gallatin river, is as meager as
the railroad nature of the occurrance war
rants, yet the reporter has been able to
pick up a few notes concerning the cause OF
the present delay in the west bound trains.
Several wagons with teams were sent out
from Bozeman yesterday to the break in
the track, and from this fact it is presumed
that the transfer of passengers and mails
will be effected with wagons over Cockrell's
bridge four or fivo miles above the rail-
road crossing. At the hour of noon to-
day the transfer was in progress, and the
delayed train bearing two mails was ex-
pected here at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Word was received at the railroad office
here last night that +. L. Richmond, the
Assistant Superintendent of the Montana
Division, had suffered the loss of one of
his hands yesterday by an accident at the
washout, and that the only engine on t,lat
side of the river had to leave the scene of
the accident to convey him home to Liv-
ingston.
Later news is to the effect that the train
will not arrive here until Z o'clock this
evening. Some passengers were transferred
by the way Of the East Gallatin, over q
foot bridge, this morning. The middle
pier of the bridge, it is understood, is still
standing, and the railroad company expect
to have temporary structure across the
river, to allow the passage of trains, in q
few days

Fat Contracts.

From the amount of money appropriated
by the Canadian government for the con-
struction of their Pacific railroad, and the
fact that the managers are not slow in
utilizing the funds, and indeed are now
crying for more, suspicion arises as to
where all this money has gone. Taken in
connection with this fact, the following
special from the PiOReer-Press of the 2Ith
ult, under date of Ottawa, May Goth, may
throw some light upon matters hitherto
kept dark Several frauds have come to
light in connection with the administra-
tion of affairs in the Northwest. Some
government officials--notably one Lang
have already fled to the States for accept
ing bribes for granting patents and con-
tracts to certain parties. A firm known as
l. G.. Baker & Co, in the Northwest, sup
ply merchants, but now carried on by Con-
rad Bros, from Montana, have received no
less than S2OO0OO0 in four years. 1t has
often been wondered how they have sue
eeeded in getting contracts against all
eomers and amassing such large sums of
money. One of the Conrads is seldom out
Of Ottawa and is a constant visitor at the
departments. These and other matters
will b. thoroughly investigated when the
discussion on the Northwestern troubles
comes up in the House"

overfows and washouts of more or less
consequence will doubtless occur during
the month. The loss Of the Northern Pa
cifc bridge spanning Gallatin river at Gen.

than apprehended. If the channe, piers
remain it will be comparatively easy to r..
place the structure, but If swept away it
will require time and the best engineering
