Railroad Notes.

Pioneer Press: It is stated that the
earnings Of the Northern Pacific company
for the first thirteen days of March show
an increase of 100000 over any similar
period of the same month in the history
of the company. The enormous cmigra
ton which is moving over the road to
Washington and Oregon averaging more
than so per day insures the company a
great future business in that section. The
mineral development in Montana and
omenal, and nothing but lack of equip
ment with which to handle the business
will prevent still futher enormous in
crease in the earnings.
It is stated that President Hill, of the
Manitoba, is making arrangements to enter
Southern California, and that contracts
for the right of way are being made. 1t
is said that from Great Falls, Montana,
the road will be over the Montana Cen
trail to Helena, thence southwest by the
Utah g. Northern. This will make only
about 800 miles of road to be constructed
to reach Los Angeles.
President Broadwater, Of the Montana
Central, has issued circular appointing
w. J. Footncr manager of express traffic
of that road
Thos. L. Kimball has been appointed
acting general manager of the Union
Pacific railroad, and j. S. Cameron will
take the place formerly occupied by Mr.
Kimball.
F. w. D. Holbrook has withdrawn
from the sqperintendency of the Yellow
stone division to accept position on a
Washington territory road. He is sue
ceeded by J. D. Finn, formerly a road
master on the west end of that division.
Miner: In order to accommodate the
people of Montana who are in the habit
of travelling short distance, and to save
them at once expense and trouble of
purchasing tickets for every little trip,
the Northern Pacific has decided to place
on sale 500 mile books at 4 cents per
mile. This will surely prove great ac
commodation to many and there is no
doubt but that the tickets will be readily
purchased.
Five hundred and twenty-five feet
were bored in the Stampede tunnel, on
the Cascade division of the Northern Pa
cific, last month, h,-2G3 feet in the the east
end and 262 feet in the west end. This
progress was made under wall plates, the
entire distance being timbered.

A Deadly Cyclone Again.

A cyclone passed over Calhoun, Geor-
gia, and eastern Tennessee, Tuesday
night, which did great damage. Sew
eral lives were lost near Lenoirs. The
residence of J. Williams, three miles
east of Lenoirs, was completely swept
away and his wife carried off in the
wreck and killed. The body of Mrs.
Williams was found in the Tennessee
river, where it had been blown. The
house of James Linginfelter was re-
duced to kindling wood. In it were
John r. Smith, who was killed, and
little daughter of A. Linginfelter, who
had her leg broken. The dwellings of
VIM. King and John Gideon were
blown down. Seven members Of the
King family were badly injured. The
house of Lafayette Protter was badly
wrecked. At London. Tennessee, the
house of Geo. Moses was completely
destroyed and every member OF the
family hurt. Andrew Worley's house
was also carried away, and the members
of the family barely escaped with their
lives. They are all seriously injured.

to large and better reserve The ambas-
sadors have the best wishes of success

with the pensioning of All Lin. He
claims to be the only Asiatic on the
pension roll. He enlisted in the United
States navy at Yokohama in 1872, ship
ping on board the man-of-war Lacka-
wana as pantry boy. In August, 1884,
while on board the Hartford, anchored

burst while the crew were practicing.
One of the crew was killed and others
injured. Among the latter was All Lin.
He claimed a pension. and the attorneys

! The Banquet theater at Oporto, Spain,
took fire during performance, from an
explosion of gas, Tuesday night. The
house was full Of spectators, and eighty
bodies have been taken from the ruins
Most of those burned were in the third
tier Of boxes and galleries. Whole FAM
| lilies suffocated. There was a terrible
struggle at the doors when the spectators
tried to escape. Large numbers were
suttocated and trampled upon. Many
who reached the street were seriously in
jured. Some corpses were found in the
boxes. The gas was extinguished shortly
after the fire broke out, thus aiding the
confusion.
A strike Of engineers and firemen was
inaugurated on the Atchison. Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad on Friday of last week
1t affected thlrty-two hundred miles of
road and about 1000 members of the
Brotherhoods, who simply became ''tired"
and refused to work. No cause for
grievance was gwen further than an init
nation that stockholders Of the Burling-
lington were also interested in the Santa
Fe and the engineers proposed to reach
their pockets indirectly by crippling the
latter named road. Better counsel pre-
vailed, however, and on Monday the strike
was declared off and the employees re-
sumed work.

by its terms runs twenty years. A
Chinese laborer who has 81 600 worth of
property here, or who has lawful hus-
band or wife or a child here, may, ii

detained by illness the time may be ex-
tended to two years. No other Chinese
