RAILROAD TUNNEL BLOCKED.
Cave-In at the Mullen Tunnel ON the
Northern Pacific, Near Helena.

HELENA, Mont, April Especial. +
The train on the main line Of the North
ern Pacific railroad. due here at 10:4o, en-
countered a cave-in in the great Mullen
tunnel, eighteen miles west of here, that
completely obstructed travel. Noestima:e
of the extent of the cave-in can be made
until tomorrow, as the blockade is COM
plete. The tunnel is about one mile long,
and is sixteen by thirty-two feet.
A similar accident two years ago rem
dered the tunnel useless for two weeks. 1t
is one of the great engineering feats of rail-
road building in the mountains. The
cave-in is due to the action of the elements.
No lives were lost, but the monetary esti-
mate of the mishap will be very heavy.
Trains will be compelled to go by way Of
Butte to Garrison and then over the Butte
and Bozeman branch.

ITALIAN QUESTION IN POLITICS.
A st. Louis Paper Sees Possibilities or
an Eject on National PIafforrus

WASHINGTON CRY, April 5.-The Post to-
morrow, referring to the possibility of
America for Americans" being one of the
railying cries in the next campaign, will
say: 1t is regarded as quite within the
range of probability that the national
platforms next year will favor re-
strictive immigration laws, or they
may recommend that all foreigners
who engage in business in the United
States and enjoy the protection of this
government shall become naturalized citi-
zens. If Italy had not been so aggressive
the issue would not have been so we'll de-
fined. If sentiments that are now ex-
pressed privately by senator's and repre-
sentatives of both parties in Washington
find an echo in the platforms, they will
make interesting reading.
