THE NEW SHORT lINE.
Report of Routes From Denver to Cripple
Npaak.

Report OF Houte1 from Oouvek ~ SHsbHA0
Greek.
Denver, Dec. 2O.-The regular and
special committees Of the Chamber or
Commerce which have for come time
been engaged In investigating ways anu
means for the construction OF the pro-
posed new line from Denver to Cripple
Creek made their reports yesterday.
They have collected large amount OF
statistical and other information which
Is of especial interest at this time' pear-
ing upon the project.
In their report upon possable routes,
the committee says:
Judging from such informatio as VIC
have, the line Of railway cpnnectirs
Denver with Cripple Creek, which will
be most direct and have the easiest
grades, Is one which will follow the
South Platte river from Denver to Lake
George, and extend thence direct to
Cripple Creek, approaching Cripple
Creek from the northwest. The total
distance from Denver to Cripple Creek
by this route is approximately 100 miles;
the grades In no place exceeding two
and half per cent, with yery little
grade 80 heavy as that. There Is SAIL
to be only about nine miles Of heavy
rock work to be done on this route south
of Symmes P. o.
A survey Of the line along the South
Fork of the South Platte river, as far up
the river as Lake George, was made sew
eral years ago by the Union Pacific
Railway company. This survey has
been recently examined and it shows
that road from Symmes P. o. along
the South Platte to Lake George can be
constructed with a maximum grade of
two per cent and with practicable cur
azure.
Taking this Union Pacific survey as
basis the engineer of the Denver
Leadville and Gunnison Railway com.
pany has made an estimate Of the cos:
of construction of broad gauge road
(taking as n basis present cost OF rails
ties, etc, and present prices for gradingl
from Symmes P. o. to Cripple Creek
showing that the road can be bull:
(without equipmenD between these
points with an expenditure of some.
what less than $1,2oO.OO0.
Your committee has conferred with
Mr.. Frank Trumbull, receiver of the
Denver, Leadville & Gunnison, who
states that he is authorized on behalf OF
the bondholders Of that company to say
that if a substantial company is organ.
lied In Denver with the means and pur.
pose to build a broad gauge line froul
Symmes P. o. to Cripple Creek, the
bondholders Of the Denver, Leadville &
Gunnison Railway company are Willing
to enter Into a permanent agreement
(elther trackage or traffic) on fair terms
for the use Of their road from Symales
2. o. to Denver, and will go to the e~.
pense Of broad gauging their road from
the Denver Union depot to Symmes F.
o. for the use Of the Cripple connection.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Ths promises

that bill shall have been sent to the

ing Mt the capitol, at which Speaker
Reed was present, to discuss the details
Of bill which, in their opinion, would
furnish the desired relief.
AS preliminary, 1t was decided
that while the situation iu the Senate
as to the fate there of any measure
passed by the House should be kept IN
mind, the House must act Independently
Of the result Of the upper branch of
Congress. The general outline Of a
measure was practically agreed upon,
but the details have not been competed.
The sentiment was unanimous that no
gold bonds should be authorized. but
that bill on the lines of Mr.. Reeds
amendment of last year should be
drawn up, and with that should be COM
pleted some tariff changes for the pur-
poses of raising additional revenue. The
Republicans took the stand that the
menace to the gold reserve was caused
primarily by the lack Of revenue to meet
the expenses of the government, and
that is still their position.
Mr.. Reeds bond proposition. which
the committee will adopt, provides first,
for the reduction Of the rate Of interest
on bonds to be issued under the acts
of 1870 and 1885 for the purpose of ra-
suming specie payments and protecting
the specie reserve, from four TO three per
cent, and second, for low rate, low
denomination coin bond which would
practically be a debt certificate to be
used to supply deficiencies in the rev.

first in the estimation of Navy people, but
Will likely have 10 take second place since the
launching Of this larger ship. The Brooklyn is
Ia feet longer than the New York, and has
LOCO tons more displacement besides being an
Improvement in many other points. The length
OF the Brooklyn is 400l feet. Her beam is as 6s
feet; normal draft, "a. and displacement g. 7I
tons. The speed calculated is 90 knots per
hour, and there seems to be no reason why this
should not be attained in the trials.
The Brooklyn has a high foredeck. which
will be advantage when chasing a vessel
steaming against o head-sea. as she can carry
two small guns which would be flooded on the
New York or any other vessel. Another point
OF excellence claimed for the ship is that the
smokestscks. which are unusually tall, will
serve the purpose of a forced draft, which has
been so destructive TO boilers, by causing ex-
pansion and contraction of the plates and con-
sequent leakage.
The armament OF tho cruiser is as follows:
Eight Sinch rifles in barbeis OF S.inch steel
armor; ~ 5-inch rapid-fre guns, protected by
4-iBch steel armor; u six FOUNDER rapid-fre
guns and four machine guns. The ship is
covered with protective deck from three TO
SIX inches in thickness at various points Be-
SIDES the guns the Brooklyn will carry FIVE
torpedo tubes. One Of these will be placed at
the bow and two on each side. Her total coal
capacity is over LOO tons, and her normal ca
pacity at normal displacement is about 800

An account of the heroic action Of his wife in
going from Vicksburg to his relief with flag

better friend.
DIR. Gibbon performed many scien ii fic su rgical
operations during his war ice, one of which
was one of the few successful operations of ex-

Was Paradise at the North Pole?

In an interesting and highly instructive
article. Edward S. Martin, in the October
Ladies' Home Journal, reviews the numerous
theories advanced by scientists in the en-
deavor to solve the perplexing problem as to
exact location of the site of the Garden of
Eden. After sitting the theories the writer
concludes that the question is no nearer an
swered than is was 1000 years ago, and that
there are no present indications that the
matter will ever be definitely settled by any
man.
To one of the latest and most ingenious
theories Mr.. Martin thus refers: The North
Pole will seem at first to the average investi-
gator the most unlikely site on earth for Para
disc to have occupied. Nevertheless several
sober and thoughtful books and pamphlets
have been written in support of the North
Poles pretensions The North Pole nova
days is bitter cold, but it has not always been
