THE LATEST FROM THE Il. & NJ.
Probability That the Road will be Built
From Crawford to Custer
via Hot Springs.

Referring to the recent movements
of the Il. & NJ. surveying party and
their probable course of action in the
future the Custer Chronicle says:
The b. & NJ. surveying party. engag-
ed for several weeks in determining the
most favorable route for a line of road
between this place and Hill City, We're
evidently quite unexpectedly called
back on Saturday, the 4th inst. That
the order to leave this field was a sur
prise, is evident from the fact Of the
order given by the chief engineer to
move headquarters to Hill City on the
morning of the same day the party de-
parted for Buffalo Gap. was not coun-
demanded until the entire outfit had
travelleda mile or two in that direction.
The party is now at Crawford, but
nothing definite as to their further
movements has yet transpired. 1t
might. however. be mentioned. paren-
thetically, that it would not be at all
surprising to many i'll this place. if
they should at once undertake the SUR
vey of route from Crawford to Custer
via Hot Springs.

Saturday are now engaged cross
sectioning north from that point, and
also that another party Is similarly en-
gagged upon the same line. Thif would
indicate disposition on the part Of
the b. & NJ. company to occupy the
Hills country at the earliest practic-
able day, and if possible, to be the first
road into the Hills proper. Indications
point conclusively to unusual activity
on the part of this company An east
ern exchange notes their intention to
extend their lines four hundred miles
the present year. Extension bonds ag-
gregating fifteen million dollars have
been issued by the company, eight
million dollars Of which were placed
during the last week in January of the
present year as noted in the New York
Financier of the 2Sth alt. 1t is believed
that the work of cross sectioning will
be continued without interruption until
this place is reached, which will prob
ably be completed in six or eight weeks.

GEN. HARRISON IN RECEIPT OF
ANOTHER HEAVY MAIL

Southern Democrats among Those
Writing Congratulatory Letters
The President-Elect's Son Now Act
Ing as His Private Secretary-A Pro-
posed Demonstration Abandoned
Other Echoes of the Battle.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 13.-The President
elect was in receipt of another very heavy
mail to-day, which, for the present, seems
o occupy about all of his time He was at
work early this morning in his library, AID
excepting about an hours time given to
recreation in the afternoon, he put in the
entire day at his desk, and was
bulsity engaged as late as
o o'clock tonight debating letters.
w. H. Miller, Gen. Harrison's law partne 3,
Is no longer acting as the generals secre-
tary, his law practice demanding his entire
attention. Russell B. HARRISON, the Presi-
dent-elect's son, is now acting as his secre-
ttry. About 500 unopened letters lay upon
Gen. Harrson's table tonight.
CONGRATULATIONS FROM DIXIE
An unusual number of congratulatory let
ters are arriving from the south. Among
the writers are many from democrats, who
uniformly state that although the result
was contrary 10 UNelf WlSleS ana eXpect1-
tlons, vet they accept the peoples verdict
with good grace, not few even stating
that they believe the re iult of the election
will prove beneficial to the south.
The committee Of citizens appointed TO
consider and, if deemed advisable, to ar
range fos a grand celebration by the repub-
llcans of their recent victory, met at the
Denlson house this evening. Upon full
consideration, it was concluded that as
business has been so long interrupted by
politics, and as the desire is now general that
ordinary affairs have attention, no further
demonstrations are desirable. Those who
Jolllfied in the rain Saturday night are sat
ished, while those Who waited for fair
weather will have to wait till next time.
FRAUDS AT THE POLLS.
The federal grand jury met this after
noon and was given a comprehensive
charge by Judge w. A Woods Speaking
Of violations of the election laws, he said
the press has charged that frauds were
committed during the late election, and
that it is his jurisdiction to investigate the
truth. Especial attention was drawn to
the fact that an attempt to bribe
does not constitute an offense
But, while it is not an offense
to attempt to bribe, it is an offense TO
advise another to attempt to bribe or in any
way to violate the election laws. The jluy
was also instructed in regard to the duties
of election officers and the penalties at
tached to their neglect or perversion.
Reference was made to reported conspir-
acy to influence voters and circumvent the
law on large scale and an inveStigat ton
was recommended

FRANCES BUDGET.
Premier Goblet Speaks of the Re-
lations with the Pope


PARIS, Nov. 13.-The chamber of
deputies to-day discussed the budget of the
minister of foreign affairs. M. Ferronays,
of the right, declared that he saw nothing
to criticise in the policy of Premier Goblet
during the past six months
Premier Goblet stated that the situation
could he faced with composure. France
threatened no one, and was sufficiently
strong not to fear provocation. The gov
ernment would defend the dignity of the
country without forgetting that peace was
the chief interest
THE EMBASSY TO THE VATICAN
An amendment having been proposed TO
abolish the embassy to the vatican, NJ
Goblet said:
As long as we live under the regime of the con-
cordat, it Is necessary TO maintain relations with
the vatican for tho training of the clergy and
the appointment of bishops aud cardinals. The
Importance of our protectorate In eastern coun-
tries also requires the maintenance of friendly
relations with the vatican. Rival powers dis
ptte our protectorate. The friendship Of the
pope is therefore precious. The pope already
has his bltternesses. Is IL for US to Increase
them?
HIS TEMPORAL POWER.
1t has been said recently that the pope could
no longer count upon any country but
France That does not mean that France will
intervene to restore his temporal power; but the
more the pope Is deprived of that power, the
more France ought to honor him by curtailing
nothing OF her respect for the high authority
he represents LApplause.l
The amendment was rejected by vote
of 307 to 2l7
The foreign budget was finally approved.
The budget for the ministry of the interior
was adopted without division.

At meeting of the relief committee Sat

They have asked for assistance only when
it became very necessary, and this, with the
fact of kilograms stating that Jacksonville

practicing the strictest economy, should
influence them in acting leniently.

CLEVELAND DON'T HEDGE.

The Recent Election Looked On as a
Tariff Reform Victory.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 13s--The President is
quoted as having said to a gentleman who
talked with him yesterday, that he felt fully
warranted in reiterating his Uariff reform
recommendation in his coming message, by
the results of the late election, which con-
clusively showed that the people, including
those in the great manufacturing centers,
were in favor of tariff revision at the very
least. He thought, he said, that the cleo
reform. He thought the republicans would
be shrewd enough to see this, and, falling
back from the high protection position
taken at Chicago. would themselves revise
and reduce the tariff in the next congress
