THE BOHEMIAN TUNNEL.
1t VIII Take all Summer to Put 1t in
Shape Again.


The work of repairing the Bozc-
man tunnel is proving to be a very
tedious and expensive task, and those
familiar with the great damage
wrought BY the disastrous fire assert
that the big bore cannot be put in
shape SO as to admit Of the running
Of trains before next fall.
The force now employed at the
tunnel numbers eighty men and
operations are being pushed as rapid
1y as possible from both ends, with
day and night shifts. The workmcn
are now in ! 200 feet from the west
end and about 1000 feet from this
side. The east end force has reach.
eel the big cave, which extends for
400 feet, completely filling the tun-
mel and forming a huge chimney or
shaft leading to the top Of the noun
tain. In the west end the progress
of the timbcring force is greatly inn
peded bv numerous small caves and
it will be three weeks vet before the
big cave is reached from the BoZeman
side. The cooling process is exceed
ingly slow and the tunnel is 50 hot
noW-ncarly four months since the
fire burned itself put--that the lab
orcrs find it necessary to strip down
to the waist and are frequently COM
pclled to seek the open air to cool off.
1t is the purpose Of the Northern
Pacific to line the tunnel with brick
the entire length, but during the
progress Of arching trains will be run
through the bore. Billings Gazette.

solution heretofore reported on the

A Night on tho Heather.


A strident voice hailed us through
the darkness, tho voice of our excel
lent friend, the shepherd of the
Redswirehead. His tall form seemed
all but gigantic in the failing light,
but his walk was sufficient to mark
him far off. A rough gray plaid
hung on his shoulders, his ho1nespun
clothes had & healthy smell of peat
reek, and his hand grasped a great
horn handled stick, which he dug
into the earth as he walked. Clear
1y the stick was toe old a companion
to be left al; home, for in his Other
hand he held gun, and few men
think it needful to carry both Hc
peerod into our basket and nodded.
for he was man OF few words. We
looked at Zig gun, and he answered
our unspoken question.
AYE" said he, "it's an auld fox
that gave mo sair work i the lam bin
time. She's hidin in s. scrog O. birk
on the Hill there, and I'll haze a shot
at he1, though I should sit taa
mornin.
We also were out for the night.
We would como with him, for one
fox was better in our eyes than
many trout. So in a trice it was
agreed that we two should keep
watch Oh the hill and plot the death
Of this ancient mother Of evil. In
the upper parts of the Tweed valley
this shooting Of foxes is not q crime,
but a necessity, for they mako dead
ly havoc among the young lambs in
the spring of the year. A price, too,
may be had for tho skins, and SO it
comes about that every mountain
shepherd traps the young and shoots
the old ones as enemies of his pro.

May Have Been q Scheme

New York, Feb. Ga dispatch
from Norfolk, Va, says: In the
minds Of many persons it is doubted
whether the tilibustcriny steamer j
w. Hawkins was really wrecked
There is a possibility that she may
be at present near the Cuban coast,
ready to land her cargo Of arms and
ammunition.
The arrival here Of the battlcship
Maine and the statements Of many
Of her crew give color to tins. 1t is
Il fact that the Maincs crew are ol
the opinion that tho Hawkins has
proceeded to Cuba, and those on
boaid Of her not only succeeded in
dccciving the United States uuthori-
tics but also the Spanish agents.
The belief is; expressed that the
steamer carried many Cuban sympa-
thiZcrs to sea afterwards on several
extra boats, and when outside put
them Off, with the understanding
that they would say the Hawkins
had gone to the bottom. The.
knew that tho authorities were after
them, and they rcsortcd to this trick
to throw their purSucrs Off.

The most caustic utterances heart
in the senate since Til]man's sensa
tional speech was that of Vest ar
raignlng Secretary Of Agriculture
Morton. The general satire and rid
cule directed against the secretar,
and tile illusions to the president
made the speech hardly less notable
than that which recently startled the
senate. Vest referred dcrisiyely to
the "colossal intellect dealing Will

Vest severely criticised the prac-
tice Of furnishing costly flowers from
government greenhouses for the re-
ceptions ut the executive mansion.
Vest referred to the "buglc blasts'
from the secretary Of agriculture as
to the congressional extravaganza in
distributing seeds. ''The democratic
party has been most unfortunate, !"
said the senator with emphasis, f'not
only as to its internal discords, but
also in the fact that the devil
has owed US a grudge and has paid it

secretary had," continued Vest, "put
the democratic party in aEtagonisn
