EVANS NFW ROAD.
FROM DENVER TO DULUTH.
Plan for Short Line te connect Two
Great transportation Ccnters and
Touch Important Points on the Way.

Denver, Aug. 1.-THE Republican
this morning says:
Ex-Governor Evans has returned
from his trip to Sioux City, the eastern
terminal of his proposed Nebraska
short line. Yesterday, us president of
the Denver, Sioux City, Lake Superior
& Chicago Railway company, he ap-
peared before the executive committee
Of the Chamber of Commerce and
made report of his trip. The result
was most gratifying t5 the committee,
the members of which are also on the
directory of the short line. Mr.. Evans
is confident that the railroad will be
built, and that right soon. He points
with satisfaction to the fact that peo-
pie along the proposed route are all
deeply interesting themselves in the
matter, and that ut Sioux City, where
he spoke, great enthusiasm was mani
tested,
In his report to the committee, ea-
Governor Evans lenves room for some
changes in the routing Of the !,iht This
is having the erect OF stimulating
townspeople. Yesterday afternoon he
received u telegram from delegation
of citizens of Ord, Nebraska, asking
when they could see him Ia Benter
as II point eA the railroad. Mr.. Evans
plans originally were to run his line
from Julesburg to O'Neill.
Now he finds he can shorten the fSad
almost fourth hv ytnning it from
North Platte, 0n the Union Pacific, to
some point east of O'Neill. The Gulf
road, with which Mr.. Evans expects to
operate the short line, has the right to
trackage arrangements on the Unier
Pacific as far east us North Platte, and
to run from North Platte the short
line wouid cross seven roads and
Branch roads at right angles. all run
ming in Il southeasterly d,rstii6n to
Omaha and Kansas CITY, and penc
tratc eight reuAties and county seats.
1T Is not surprising that the people
along the route are enthusiastic, be
cause 1t means much for them," said
Mr.. Evans last night. 1.-The raising OF
money is not our greatest problem. The
road will be of tremendous advantage
to Colorado. rs 1t will enable our coal
mines to ship all they can produce tt
keep going the engines and factories
of Nebraska. There IN little eonl hin
ed in that portion of the STATE through
which we shall run, and what is dug
is found to be inferior. Indeed, rail
way managers are obliged, many OF
them, to haul coal from Pennsylvania
for engines working in Nebraska. II
is cheaper for them in the end in the
saving of machinery. Colorado coal Is
as good as anything mined in Pennsyl
vania."

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE senate
chamber was the storm center OF the
tariff conflict to-day Early In the day
the eager crowds thronged the l0bbies
leading to the galleries and struggled
for points of vantage foI the expected
debate on Senator Hills resolution d.
recting the senate tariff cOnferees to
report on the situation. All the public
galleries were filed and the crowds
overfiowed into the corridors outside.
The spectators as well as the SEN
ators waited with evident impatieEce
while the clerk read d long veto mes
sage from the president on bill re-
tiring naval officer. As it prSceeded
the floor of the chamber rapidly filled
with members of the house Of repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Burrows Of Michigan
took seat near Senator Aldrich, and
Messrs. Tarsney. Bynum and other
Democratic members of the ways and
means committee were on the Demo
cratic side. 1t was noticeable. how
ever, that none OF the house tariff COLI
ferrees were on the floor or in the gal
lcries.
At 1870 Mr.. Hill arose and asked
that his resolution of yesterday be
read. He yielded, however. to Senator
Chandler, who asked that a resolution
for an investigation of the alleged ir
regularities In the recent Alabama
election go over untp next Monday.
Mr.. Cockrell moved to go into ex-
ecutive session, and at POI p. m. the
senate went into executive session.
The vote stod tie-35 to 80. Vice
President Stevenson voted aye. Cock
rell's motion was made to gain time
and was in the interest of the tariff
bill and In opposition TO Hill.
The senate adjourned at 2:12 p. M,
and breathing spell over Sunday Is
thus given the Democrats In which to
quietly canvass the tariff situation.
The house tariff conferrees gathered
promptly at 10 o'clock this morning In
the room of the senate committee on
Interstate commerce, and remained
there during the entire forenoon, but
they waited in vain for the senate con-
ferees. They sent messengers to the
capitol for the senators, but 1t proved
unnyuiljng. None of the senate MEM
bcrs of the conference were ut the cap
itol. or If they were they could not be
found.
The debate In the senate has brought
out very clear information that the
house tariff conferrees have the tariff
bill in their actual possession. and

ference would practically be relieved
of Its work and II would remain only
