The report which has gained current
about the Rocky Fork road, very different
from many Of the runors concerning that
intricate deal, appears to contain more
than passing substance. 1t was learned
that H. M. Keefe. the contractor, was
preparing to start to the scene of opera
tions with number Of men, and the
Northern Pacific ticket Office was besieged
all day by men inquiring rates. From
persons in position to know, it was assert
ed that work would be commenced at
once owing to the near expiration of the

days. A large force of men will be put
to work, and it IS expected that in 60 days

STANLEY SAFE
The Great African Explorer Turns Up
SOnnd and Well.

ZANZIBAR, December 22.-One Of the
special messengers sent to the interior in
October, in the hope of obtaining news of
Emin and Stanley, has sent dispatch
announcing he had met Arab traders from
Wadelai who said that Stanley met
Emin there about June 25th. Stanley,
the traders said, had plenty Of stores. He
had endured great privations, but he and
all his party were we'll, although greatly
exhausted.
THE DELAY IN REACHING WADEILAT
was due to difficulties encountered on the
route. Emin was in a fairly good position,
although his Egyptian officers were grum-
bling, and many of his soldiers had de-
serted. The kings of Uganda and Unyro
were hostile to Emin, who in November
had to repel depredatory incursions from
the east His general health was good.
A fortnight after Stanley's arrival Emin
received message from the Mahdi pom
pously intimating his intention to subdue
the whole country as far as the great
lake, and promising good treatment if be
submitted. Emin replied that before
evacuating he must wait for the Mahdi to
prove the legitimacy Of his claim to the
province. Emin told Stanley that he did
not desire to leave Wadelai The entire
route to the east coast
WAS MOST DANGEROUS
on account of the incessant agitation
among the tribes and the hostility of
Vagina. Toward the middle of April,
hearing that a force of Mahdists were
coming, Emin ordered his advanced posts
between Dufile and Lahdo to retire to
Wadelai, and Stanley sent messengers to
the kings Of Reganda and Unyoro. About
the end of April when the traders left
Wadelal, Stanley was anxious, owing to
the absence Of news from his rear guaFd
on the Amuwin1i, and was arranging to
send strong detachment in search OF
them along the route which he himself
had followed. Stanley also urged Emin
to leaYe Wadelai with him to regain the
coast. Emin sent out several couriers
with news to Europe. One was the coar-
rier sent by the foreign consuls at Zanzi-
bar to apprise Emin of the departure Of
the relief expedition. This courier had
remained at Wadelai and was sent back
to the east coast after Stanley. Another
courier was sent in another direction.

A Decision Which Downs the Canadian Pa
cific and Is "a Victory For the North
ern Pacific.

WINNIPEG, December 22.-The supreme
court at Ottawa has unanimously decided
in favor of the province of Manitoba ia
the dispute about the right to cross the
Canadian Pacific tracks The decision is
as follows: "The question referred to us
by the railway committee OF the privy
council was whether the provincial gov
ernment Of Manitoba had the right to
enact legislation authorizing the Red
River Valley railway to cross the Penn
bina branch of the Canadian Pacific road
and the Manitoba and Southwestern
branches Of the Canadian Pacific. In an
swer to said question, this court, having
heard the counsel on both sides, is unani-
mously of the opinion the said statute of
Manitoba is valid and effectual so as to
confer the authority on the railway COM

mentioned, to construct a railway IS the

iff FL. G. Lyons arrived from Junction
this morning, having in custody V. B.
Strong, whom he had arrested for killing

Strong, had made repeated advances to-
ward her and attempted several times to
induce her to leave her husband, but
without avail. He threatened at numer-
Gus times to kill Strong, on whom he had
twice leveled a Winchester, Mrs. Strong
each time placing herself between the
muzzle Of the weapon and her husband
and averting bloodshed. On the morning
of the 10th Houx renewed his abuse and
threatened the life Of Strong, when the
latter drew his revolver and shot HouX
through the heart, remarking, "You have

to show cause why the writ of habeas

ment this afternoon was on Mondays or

before Judge Richardson in the proceed

dence is quite sufficient. The Judge over
ruled Johnson's objection that the prison
or should have been adiudged under the
Canadian law, on the ground that the
treaty in that respect only requires that
the evidence should be such, as which I'M
