The Sukkur or Lansdowne bridge, re-
Gently erected over the River Indus, has a
main span made up of two cantilevers OF
80 feet each and a suspended truss of 200
feet, making total span of $40 feet, the
longest of its character In the world The
Indian Engineer says that in this long span,
weighing $500 tons, the expansion be-
tween the abutments amounts to nearly
eight inches and the nose of the camille
yer moves horizontally up and down
stream about two inches in the course of
each day as theone side or the other of the
bridge is exposed to the direct rays of the
sun. This bridge has, besides the great
span, three others of 27S feet, 23S feet and
943 feet respectively, of ordinary girders
resting on piers founded ON the rock.
Work was commenced in 1SS3-S4, and all
except the main span was finished in
March, 1885. The staging for the main
span was started January Is, 1889, and
was finished January 3Oth; erection was
commenced February 5th. The engineer
was Sir A. NJ Rendel, and the builders
were Westwood & BaIllie, of Poplar, Lon
don. The total cost of the whole bridge
was 81 ,52S 800. 1t carries the Indian
State Railway over the Indus river.

The Little Republic of Switzerland Puts
on Bold Front.
New York, June 2Sd- cable specisI
from London of June 22d saws: So far as
the main complication which last week
threatened peace goes, Europe has 0uieted
down somewhat. There are reports Today
that the Car has written a letter 10 the
young Kaiser assuring him that he meant
nothing hostile by his famous sfter-bresk
fast speech about his sole sincere friend
the Montenegrin Prince and that The car
Is really going TO visit Berlin this summer
and the influence of these rumors Is To
allay the excitement. But next week we
shall very likely hear stories 10 some
wholly opposite effect.
The Gar has not only his personal feel
ings, but the great question OF offended eti
quette TO restrain HIM from going TO Rer-
I'm. As young William paid his first visit
to st. Petersburg, the first of his hosts to
return his visit ought 10 have been the
Car. Instead of waiting for this the Ber-
lin maenates allowed the King of Italy 10
get in ahead of the Gar and entertained
him eNtravaganuy.
This did not especially please Russian
imperial notions; still, of course, such
things can be overlooked if needs be, and
the theory here in London is that il will
be, principally because the Russians are
uneasy over the heavy decline in the value
OF their paper rubles.
The trouble about Switzerland is more
serious than ever. 1t turns out that Ger
many, backed by other empires and by
Italy, IN substance demanded the right to
MAINTAIN a secret police of its own on Swiss
territory, in order to keep watch over its
fugitive Anarchists who sought refuge
there. The Swiss Republic firmly refuses
to concede any such thing. Ii is willing to
admit that perhaps it has been lax in its
own police supervision over the active
agents OF these people, and promises to
effect such alterations in its system as COM
mend themselves TO its judgment, but not
a step further will it CO.
This decision, announced yesterday in 4
dignitied and eloquent speech to the Fed
eral Assembly by NJ. Droz, on behalf of the
Federal Council, was received with great
cheering. As to the threats of Germany to
disregard the Swiss neutrality, the Repub-
lie declines 10 debate it at all, and will
know how to defend itself if attacked.
No event in Europe has attracted such
attention in England for q long while as
this attempt of the continental despotism
to bully the Swiss Republic, and fe, ling on
the subject is only embittered BY the utter
ances of inspired Tory papers like the
Standard and London Times which seem to
show that Lord Salisbury sympathizes with
Germany. 1t is felt that very painful COM
pliCatious may arise from the question as
1t now stands, unless, indeed, the protests
of the more liberal and Intelligent German
public men force Bismarck and his master
from their position.

FURTHER PARTICULARS
OF the Montana Slaughter and the Muir
derer's Suicide

'Ni'i Cuitiuts
Butte on. IT,, J une 23d.-The horror
occasloned by the receipt of the news on
Thursday last of the finding of the dead
bodies of five murdered people, two men,
two women and child, in Judith Basin.
and the excitement over the pursuit and
capture, Of James Wilbur, suspected of the
horrible crime, and his lodgment in the
Cascade County Jail at Great Falls, was
followed by still further sensational devel-
opments yesterday in the finding of Will
bur's dead body suspended d to the cage in his
cell. He had committed suicide by hang
ing. A common wash towel served the
purpose of rope.
The conscience stricken culprit had in
genlouslg arranged it for a perfect lob.
One end OF the towel was fastene ed to the
top of the cage and the other tied around
his neck. Both his hands were tied be-
hlnd and both feet We're resting on his
hands He must have made loose knot
around his hands, which became taut as
soon as his feet wera raised off the floor.
BY the suicide the county saves the ex-
pense of a trial, and the community is
satisfied that Wilburs selfdestruction es.
tabilshed bis guilt of the revolving crime
for which he was arrested.
HELENA (MT), June 23d Mr. and Mrs.
kurtz, two of the victims of Harry Patter-
son, alias James Wilbur, were well known
here. They were thrifty, well-to-do Ger
mans and managed the boarding house at
the Grass Valley mine.
Very little is known of the Briggs family
and it is believed that they joined the
kurtz family at some other point than
Helena. The little girl was daughter of
julius J. Schauss. Poor health and other
causes made it imperative for him to go
East, and he placed the little girl in the
hands of Mr. and Mrs. Kurtz, his wife hav-
ing died some time previous, and they
adopted her. Kurtz purchased wagon in
Helena and said he intended to make
trip across the country, and the family left
here on the Goth OF Nav last.

As to the Chiefs of division, fifteen out

LONDON, June 23d-The chief sensation
of the week has been over the Prince of
Wales leper. By some curious freak Lon
don took an exceptional interest in the cir
cumstances surrounding Father Damien's
death. After his death the photographer
who owned negative of the priest coined
money. The Prince took charge of the
matter, and then the doctors who have
views on leprosy joined. BY the time the
meeting was held full. grown project for
founding leper hospital in London had
taken shape. Unfortunately, to have a
good leper hospital, one needs lepers. and
so search was instituted and the discovery
made that there are two much-needed speci-
mems in London. The Prince in a speech
declared there was leper in London en-
ployed in large meat markets at two
places. AT this statement fearful outcry
was raised by the butchers, and columns
of protests were crowded into the papersun-
til the identity cf the man was revealed.

STILL BURNING.
A Fire in an lone Coal Mine Burning for
Several Months.


llOHe ECHO, June ZZu.
In the Sacramento and lone Companv's
coal mine just below town, fire has been
burning for many months. When first
discovered an effort was made to smother
it by putting in bulkheads, but the attempt
was unsuccessful. The fire has smoldered
along all this time, apparently making but
little headway, but stlll so situated that it
could not be put out. Work continued un-
interrupted at the mine up to the lst
instant, when the fire apparently took a
fresh start, and forced so much smoke into
the mine that the miners could not work.
The fire is in large body of coal, and can
not be extinguished by turning hose
stream of water on it, which has been done
repeatedly in the mine. Superintendent
Muir has had three holes bored from the
surface of the ground down seventy feet to
the fire. The result is that smoke pours
out of these holes like fumes from factory
tiues. Since thus given a draft, the smoke
has been drawn from the mine, and now
men can get hear the burning portion and
fight the fire. The mine will probably be
flooded While exploring an old cave over
the fire one day last week, A. L. Gray was
overcome with gas and remained uncon-
scious some time.
