WHY NOT CALL THEPEOPLE
Asks Senator Allen if Congress Wants In
formation the Pacific RaIIroads.

Asks Senator Allen if Congress Wants In =
formation the Pacific Railroads.
WASHINGTON, Feb 13.-Pacfc rail-
roads came in for unexpected discussion
in the senate today. MI Allen (Pop.
Neb sought to secure adoption of a res
terror for full information as to the status
of the Union Pacific, Kansas Pacific,
Sioux City and Pacific roads.
MIR. Brice. Dem, Ohio) suggested that
the senate committee on Pacific railroads
could better conduct an inquiry. He
uegested that the committee pe directed
10 make the investig cation with power to
send for persons and papers.
Mr.. Allen accepted the suggestion
saving be did not doubt that the commit
tee would prosecute the inquiry in good
faith.
MIR. Walcott member of the commit
tee gave assurance that there would be
the fullest inquiry.
This brought out some criticisms from
MIR. Allen. Thus far, he said, stock hold
ers. bondholders and their agents and
attorneys had appeared before the
committees, but the patrons of
the roads had not been examined.
He had failed to notice that the boards
of trade and commercial bodies from
cities along the Pacific roads had been
heard. He suggested that the railroad
committee could protitably turn from
the stock brokers, the stockholders, at
torneys and lobbyists, and give attention
TO the honess patrons of the road.
Mr.. Walcott pointed out that every one
who came before the committee was
heard, including delegations from west
ern cities. There was no means of ad.
vertising for patrons of the road and
bringing them here.
DIR. Morgan. Dem, Ala,) secured the
adoption of an amendment empowering
the committee to administer oaths
to witnesses. The senator said the per-
sons who come before the committee did
so voluntarily to serve their personal in
terests. While there he wanted the m
put under oath SO as to make them re-
sponsible for their statements.
The discussion brought out the fact
that the hearings thus far had not been
under oath.
The resolution was adopted directing
the committee to make inquiries and
empowering the administration of oaths
to witnesses.

MONEY GIVES STANDING .

A St. Louis Preacher Declares That Wealth
in Church Is Prior to Christianity.
ST LOUIS, Feb 13-At a meeting of
the Methodist ministers. yesterday after
noon, Rev. DR.. Frank Tyreu created a
comInotion.
He read paper en- Social Reform in
the Church." and his first sentence
gained for him the antagonism of the
entire body of the ministers
He said it took money to become a
Christian in this age, and recited how
financial standing counted for more in
church circles than did the true Chris
tian spirit.
He arraigned the fashionable church
members who simulated Christianity
while in the churchs precincts and at
other times schemed how by tricks of
legerdemain and by Napoleonic financial
devices they could secure other peoples
money. He said that while there was
some legitimate business transacted on
Change, four-ffths of it was gam bling
pure and simple.

Fight
Is on Mexican SOiI-OnlV 800

Visitors Present.

Ell Pkso, Tex, Feb. 13.-M any of the
sports here are becoming so anxious about
their chances of seeing the big fight that
they last night declared their intention
of watching the depots all of tonight to
avoid being left. Besides. the sports,
Gen. Mabry's rangers are carefully
watching every train that pulls out with
the intention of boarding them, if they
see any intention of the fight taking
place in Texas. Stuart has repeatedly
assured theiadjutant general that he has
no intention whatever Of having the
fight in Texas.
At 2:30 a. m today the rangers discov-
cred two cars loaded with what they
thought to be carnival paraphernalia al,
tached to a Southern Pacific freight train
just pulling out for the west. Captain
Hughes of the rangers ordered the train
delayed until permission had been OBJ
tainedtfor four of his mon TO accompany
it to the state line. This was granted and
the rangers rode away on the train.
1t is practically certain now that the
fight will be on Mexican soil somewhe
1t will be dash across the border and a
run for home after the fight is over. II
the Mexican troops can manage to reach
the battle ground. the chances are that it
will be more than a run. It will be
wild and .tumultuous flight with the
chance,against those who are unable to
swim the Rio Grande. There are places
where an agile man may be able to
jump across it aud although nobody has
evsr done it, terrified sport can do
great things when he tries.
Large delegations are expected from
the east before the start is made for the
battle ground tomorrow. More than
1900 visitors are here now. The mum Der
al the ring side will not greatly exceed
1000 if it reaches that mum ber.
Jim Hall and Buck Connolly, second
for Peter Maher, arrived from Las Cruces
at noon today Maher dropped off three
miles out of the city and viii come in to-
night. Dan Stuart; completed the ar
rangements for special tr ain today and
the start for the battle ground will be
made at 10 O'Clock tomorrow morning.

BRIDGE PLANS ARE HERE.
Work to BE Begun on Kaw Bridge
About April 1st.

Work to BE Begun Kaw Bridge
About April 1st
The plans for the new bridge across
the Kansas river arrived last evening,
and were filed today with the board of
county commissioners.
They are very voluminous and no one
less than a civil engineer could under
stsnd what they mean except that they
represent bridge of some kind or an
other.
The commissioners will Immediately
order the advertisement for bids and the
plans will remain on file in the office of
the county commissioners for thirty
days when the contract will be let. Only
one thing about the bidding is certain
and that is that there will be bid of not
more than $135,00O from Keepers &
Ihacher, representing the Melan Bridge
company.
That bid will also include the cost of
caring for the travel during the construc-
ton of the bridge and taking down and
Piling the old iron bridge on the bank.
Any contractor who hopes to secure the
Contract would have to bid under this
figure.
The question of when work will be
commenced on the new bridge can not
now be determined, but it is probable that
1t will be about April 1.
The specifications cover twenty pages
prehensive. They prescribe that the
concrete used shall be broken stone and
that the cement shall be pure Portland
product and shall be subject to certain
tests prescribed by the superintendent.
There is one change in the
plans as originally contemplated, It
was intended that there should
be seven spans. The plans have
provision for but five, but the water way
ll tlv1 Th1 If iS foo
which is a few feet wider than the
Santa Fe railroad bridge.
The spans are to be of the following
width: The two end spans, ninety seven
and a half feet each; two of 110 feet
each and the middle span 1875 feet in
width. There are to be twelve steel ribs
in each arch, which will Withstand a
test of $4,000 to 69,00O pounds per square
inch
The roadway is to be twenty-six feet
as originally contempt plated and the two
walks are to be seven feet each. The
railing on the sides is to be of concrete
with fret work of iron between the top
and bottom plates At the end of each
span is to be group of three electric
lights on either side of the bridge.
w. II. Keepers, the engineer who
made the plans. has not arrived, and is
not expected for several days. The
plans have been sent to Prof. Burr of
Colum hia college for examination, aud
they have not yet been approved by him.
When Prof. Burr makes his report Mr..
Keepers will come at once to Topeka.
Colonel William Tweeddale, who has
been the local representative of the Me-
Ian company, submitted the plans and
offered his services to the COM missioners
to explain any disputed or unintelligibIe
poiut. a-----7---
All of the commissioners are in favor
of pushing the work and letting the cou-
tract as soon as possible.
The plans may be seen at the office of
the county clerk

TWO CENTS.
ATRAMP PARADISE.
He Found $4,000 Hidden by Train
Robbers Near Sacramento.


SACRAMENTO, Cal, j, Feb 13.-John P.
Harmens, a tramp, 90 years of age who
bv his own confession recovered over
$4,000 that was hidden by train robbers
a year ago is locked up in the jail in
this city. For months he has been liv-
ing in San Francisco on the fat of the
land from the proceeds of the money
taken from the overland express near
Sacramento by Jack Brady and Browning
over a year ago. The prisoner has turned
over to the police $4,000 which he had
in the German Savings bank in San
Francisco $500 in securities, diamond
ring and diamond collar button.
Harmens found the money hidden
under a clump of bushes, near Sacra-
mento, where the robbers who held up
the train had buried it. It is known that
the robbers obtained over $4,000 from
Wells, Fargo s. Company, but Har-
mems did not find all of the
plunder. He says he obtained only
$4,000, .sc but it is believed
that these figures are rather under the
exact amount. This conclusion is based
on the fact that when Brady, one of the
bandits confessed and took the officers
to the place where the money was bur
led, only $4,000 was found Harmens had
evidently taken the rest of the treasure
before the officers arrived. Harmens was
arrested in San Francisco Saturday aud
brought to this city last night.
In appearance he is a typical tramp
Among his friends he is known as dutch
Charley"
After he found the money he went to
San Francisco, where he loaned a great
deal to responsible. business men. But he
was not miserly, as it is said he lived a
life of luxury seldom dreamed of by the
average tramp. He bought the most
elegant clothes for himself, making a
trip to New York for the purpose and
the tramp was transformed into regular
fashion plate.
