The Survey Is Now Comprehensive Rout 9
Through Rich Country.

Through Rich Country
WASHINGTON, July S.-Considerable
secrecy, apparently, has been thrown
around the operations of the Inter-Con-
tinental railway survey. authorized by
Congress in accordance with plan
adopted by the Pan-American conference
in 1890. 1t is thought that reports of a
more or less detailed character have been
incorporated in the estimates laid before
Congress. There had been a hot fight
over the appropriation for continuing the
work which was only stepped through a
conference between the two houses 1t is
now stated, however, IN an unofficial
way, that the survey is practically COM
pleted. All surveying parties have re-
turned to Washington, having finished
the field work completely and they are
now engaged working up data secured
for publication in the final reports and
maps OF the line. This will occupy
several months.
ern boundary of Mexico to the northern
boundary OF Bolivia, and is 4 600 miles in
| length. 1t connects the railway systems
| of North and South America. 1t is said
route has been found for the entire dis
lance with no grade greater than per
cent. 1t is further said that the engineer
in charge OF the survey through Colombia
reports that for many miles the lines run
through mining region SO rich that the
material dug out for the cuts of the road
would contain enough gold and silver to
pay for the construction of the road over
that section. This possibly accounts foI
the reticence maintained as to the pro-
gress OF the work.

branch OF the Long Island railway at

Charges and Counter Charges Made in
Debate Over the Bank Bill.
ROME, July S.-Final debate on the
bank bill in deputies today was tumul-
tuous. Signor Bovio, who has been en-
ergetically pressing the Investigation of
frauds, made the principal speech. ''The
time has come, - he said, ''for all imph-
Gated in the bank briberies to explain
their actions.
eff the Senate will appoint a new COM
mittee, - continued Bovio, 81 will refrain
from naming the guilty men. 1 demand,
however, that the guilty men abstain
from voting on the measure now before
the house; if they do not will name
them.''
RIOT broke loose in the chamber as this
threat was made. Insults were exchanged
on every side and dozen or more fights
were barely prevented. After endeavor-
ing in vain to restore order the president
suspended the sitting. When the pro-
ceedings were resumed Bovio yielded to
the opportunities of his friends and de-
clined to continue his speech. The bank
bill then passed by vote of 222 to 1876
and the chamber adjourned for the
summer holidays.

DECLERED A TRAITOR.
Dictator Barrios Incensed at a Former
Guatemalan.

WASHINGTON. July S.-A dispatch re-
ceived from San Francisco today stating
that a young Guatemalan named San
tillana was declared traitor to Guatemala
by Dictator Barrios, in consequence of
his having patented in the United States
in his own name a valuable device for
measuring distances between inaccessi-
Bile places, instead of that of the dictator,
was shown to patent Office officials.
Search of the records discloses the fact
that on June 20 last patent was granted
to Juan F. Santillana, citizen of San
salvador, residing in San Francisco, for a
measuring and leveling telemeter, one
fourth interest in which he assigns to
Estoriio Calderon of the same place.
Nothing is known at the patent Office as
to the value of the invention or as to
whether fraud was practiced upon Dicta-
tor Barrios in the procurement and
patent.

President, Ex-Governor John Evans;

mann. Governor Evans delivered an adj
dress outlining the policy of the company
which was striking in many ways. 1t is
the purpose of the road to maintain abso-

cludes that the profits of such invest
ments secured by location and operation
of the road through the rich country
through which it will be built, will be
greater than ever realized from such a
railway enterprise.
