The construction of this remarkable
! span Is from plans of L. L. Buck, engineer
Of the new East river bridge between
New York and Brooklyn, and the author
or the plans by which the suspension
bridge at Niagara was replaced by an
| arched bridge.
The approaching or fanking spans will
be 100 feet long on the American side,
and 20 feet on the Canadian side The
about 100000 pounds. Every confidence
is expressed in Mr.. Bucks ability to carry
out his plans. The replacing Of the rail
road bridge by another without an hour 8

engineering feats of a decade

structure at Niagara, which It IS intended
to replace will hardly realize the stu

something of an idea of what confronts

In an undertaking of this nature the
slightest error might be productive of In

be accurate 10 a hairs breadth Every
portion of the great arch must perform
its particular share of the great combina-

years has required, or will yet need, more
skilled labor. In fact, in bridge building
It Is becoming unsafe to utilize labor of
any other class. The bridge. when com

in point Of construction, as well as point
of conception.
The work of preparing the material for
the great structure has been In progress

The Southern Pacific Suit.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. THE hear
ing of the injunction suit of the South
ern Pacific railroad against the state
board of railroad commissioners to re-
strain the board from carrying into eff
feet its proposed schedule reducing the
rates ON grain and other commodities
transported over the companys lines
was resumed today in the United States
circuit court before Judge McKenna.
The attorney general read affidavits of
Chairman Larue of the commission,
containing figures showing the valu-
alton of the railroad properties and
that the bonded Indebtedness of the
roads exceeded the cost Of their con-
struction. Attorney Heron for the
railroad objected to the admission, of
these affidavits The attorney general
replied that the figures in the aff1davits
had been taken from a report Of the
congressional committee on Pacific
roads. Judge McKenna sustained the
objections to the affidavits This was
the first blow to the cause OF the COM
missioners. Larue's aff1davit was
strong in refutation of figures given by
the Southern Pacific attorneys.

Feeling in London.

LONDON, Jan. Popular feeling in
favor Of DR.. Jameson is running very
high in London.
The Times, for example, says 1.-THE
march will remain a glorious tradition
for the Anglo-Saxon races
A dispatch received by the colonial
secretary, Mr. Chamberlin. from Sir
Hercules Robinson, dated yesterday,
says that the arms and ammunition of
the British Chartered company's forces
at Buluwayo have been placed in the
custody of representative of the
queen of Great Britain.
The feeling here against Germany on
account of the emperors dispatch con-
graduating President Kruger, appar-
emily ignoring British suzeranity over
the Transvaal Republic, continue
among all classes of people, and the
war sentiment against Germany rises
as time passes.
Lady Warwick has written a letter
to the Times on the subject. It is I'm
derstood that the arsenals and dock
yards are being overhauled.
Emperor William is a member of
several exclusive English clubs, includ-
ing the Royal Yacht Squadron, and in
some of them the demand for his ex-

LONDON, JAN S.-Long dispatches from
CaDe Town to the Times describes the
intense feeling there at the failure of the
Johannesburgers to succor DR.. Jameson,
but the National union delegates say that
diSobedience Of Governor Sir Hercules
Robinson's orders would have frustrated

the old animoSities of the Majuba. times
would have been revived. me people
ale angry and at cross purposes, but
are unanimous in their enthusiasm for
Dr.. Jameson.
A Times dispatch from Johannesburg
says that Colonel Rhodes told the crowd
the Whole truth. declaring that it was
the blttereSt moment of his life. The
committee never imagined that Dr. Jane
son was in such desperate straits, hay
ing received hopeful messages.
The Times this morning makes the fol-
lowing announcement:
Orders have been sent to Portsmouth,
Davenport and Chatham for the imme-
date commissioning of six ships to form
a flying squadron, the object of which
is obviously to have a squadron ready
for any required emergency.
1t will be composed of two first class
battleshiDs. two first class and two sec
ond class cruisers.
The possibility of the commissioning
OF such squadron at moments no
tlce shows that our resources are better
than was supposed, and is proof that
our naval organization has greatly I'M
proved of late years.
1t has also been decided to dispatch a
naval force to Delagoa Bay, but it is
unknown whether ii viii be composed
of vessels from the Cape or from the
East Indies.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has is
sued a special collect for use in the

reinforcements Of infantry and cavalry

This paper also states that troops in
addition will be sent from England and
that a first-class cruiser has been ordered
