A NEW COAL ROAD.
Project to Connect Columbus, o., and Bay
City, Mich, by Rail.


City, Mich, by Rail.
CHICAGO, Feb. 29.-Marcus Pollarky,
the railway promoter of this city, is
negotiating for connection by rail
between Columbus, O., and Bay City,
Mich. The project is really revival
of one undertaken several years ago
when the Columbus, Lima & Milwaukee
Railroad Co. was incorporated, the line
to extend from Columbus to Saugatuck,
on Lake Michigan, and there to con-
meet by steamers with Milwaukee.
More than $SO0,0OO was expended when
the panic came and the work ceased.
Mr.. Pollarky expects to get control OF
this property and to make it part OF
the proposed system. The purpose OF
the road is to give Michigan another
line for cheap coal from the Ohio and
West Virginia fields. Such line would
be of great advantage to the Pennsyl
vania and b. & O. railroad companies
giving them an outlet from Ohio &c

UNCLE SANS DOMAIN.

An Oficial Report Shows that One-third
of the Country is Still Public Land, Open
to Entry and Settlement
WASHINGTON, Feb ga novel re-
port has just been issued by the United
States geological survey on the public
lands now opened to entry and settle
ment, which embrace one-third OF the
whole extent of the country, exclusive
of Alaska. The relative location and
area of this vast domain Of free land is
shown by large colored map and the
distribution is further illustrated in
the report by means of diagrams show
ing the proper proportion in each state
and territory. Numerous photographs
of scenery in the west are also given.
The character of the land is described
in general terms and shown by col
ored map exhibiting the forests, wood
lands and grazing areas.
The main point developed by this re-
port is that the value of the lands OF
this unoccupied third of the United
States is dependent primarily upon the
water supply. Much of it has been
reclaimed by irrigation, but by far the
greater portion cannot be irrigated
and has value mainly for pasturage
and for forest growth. 1t is claimed
that the great question before the
American people is how best to utilize
this vast area to develop its agricul'
tural possibilities and how to use that
portion which cannot be cultivated fol
grazing and for the production of tim
ber. This report gives in concise form
the results of years of investigation
and brings together in the most strik
ing manner prominent facts concerning
the peoples heritage.

A PAIR OF COLLISIONS.

One Steamer Sunk and Another Beached
as a Result of Careless Navigation in
New York Bay.
New YORK, March 2.-The steamship
Ailsa, of the Atlas line, was sunk Sat
urday afternoon by the steamship La
Bourgogne, of the French line, bound
for Havre. The Ailsa had sailed from
New York for Kingston, Jamaica. Ow-
ing to the dense fog the Ailsa came to
anchor just at the mouth OF the Mar
rows. The strong tide that was rum
ming at the time swung the vessels
head so that at the time of the collision
she was pointing towards New York;
The vessel had been at anchor but
few minutes when huge steamer
hove in sight, and although continu-
GUS ringing of her bell had been kept
up since she came to anchor, the vessel
came on and struck the Ailsa full on
the port bow, tearing out large por-
ton of her side. Immediately after
striking the Ailsa the colliding vessel,
which was the steamer La Bourgogne,
backed out and after disengaging her.
self proceeded on her way without
making the slightest offer to assist the
Ailsa.
Capt. Morris, of the Ailsa, was on
the bridge at the time the collision oc-
Cured and he Immediately gave orders
to weigh anchor. This was instantly
done and the vessel was headed for the
Ft. Hamilton shore Before she had
gone far, however, she filed and sank.
The captain, passengers and part OF
the crew took to the rigging, from
which they were rescued by the tug
| Harold.
With plate Is feet long and feet
wide upon her starbonrd bow cracked
across from her collision with the
Ailsa, the steamer La Bourgogne was
towed into pier 40, North river, Sun
day morning. Her cabin and steerage
passengers at once took shore leave
and the work of repairing the damage
was rushed. A plate of the same size
as the damaged one has been bolted
over the crack. This will give her a
double thickness OF plating at this
part. She will sail to-day. Capt. Pr.
rctt denies that La Bourgogne steamed
away leaving the passengers Of the
Ailsa to their fate without an effort to
help them.

LOSSES BY FLOODS.

Raging Rivers In the Eastern States cause
Enormous Damage to Railroads, Mills
and Bridges.
BosToN, March 3.-Dispatches from
all sections of New Hampshire and
Vermont report great damage to prop
krtv by freshets. The heavy rains OF
khe past two days melted the snow that
covered the ground and rotted the ice
in the rivers, causing nearly all streams
to overflow their banks. Highways are
submerged, railroads washed out in
some places and traffic badly inter
rupted. The Connecticut, the Merri'
mac, Passumpsick, Concord, Nashua,
Winooski and other rivers are higher
than for years and are still rising.
At Concord, n. H., the Merrimac
river is rushing torrent and filled
with ice 10 inches thick. The water
has been rising at the rate of nearly a
foot an hour. All trains on the Con
cord & White Mountain division OF the
Boston & Maine railroad have been
cancelled until the water subsidies.
AT LlWreuCc, Mdoo', WIZ @"N'

because of mills stopping. AT Bidde
ford, Me-, the bridge across the Sac'
river is endangered by the great mas
of floating ice in the river and it ha
been weighted with paving stones
while gang of men is watching i
closely. A big boom of logs above th'
bridge is likely to break at any time.
At Dover, N. H., bridge across th'
Cocheco river that cost $4,000 wa

pushing him in every state of the
Union. They are supplying the funds
that are necessary to organize and con-
duct Mckinley clubs, and to gather in
the commercially inclined delegates of
Southern states. 1t is war all along
the line with them, and Mckinley is
their man. We are glad to see the issue
defined thus early in the campaign. Let
the people know exactly what the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Mckinley means, and what
would be implied in his nomination and
election. 1t is private interest against
public, a fight of monopolistic greed
and corporate power against the we'll
being of the masses, and their right to
the proceeds of their toll without pay
ing tribute to the manufacturers. The
protected industries are forcing the
fighting. Demoralizing as this may be
to the friends of Republican candi-
dates other than Mr.. Mckinley, it
clarifies the single issue involved in the
coming campaign in a way that glad
dens every Democratic heart.

DIED IN HIS BED.
Charles A. Mann, an Old Resident.
Passes Away Suddenly.

Charles A. Mann, for many years a
resident of st. Paul, but Iatterly
resident at Washington, D. c., was
found dead in bed at the Windsor ho-
tel yesterday soon after noon. Mr..
Mann has been making his residence
al the Windsor since last September,
he having acquired in his early resi-
dence here large property interests, in
which Clarke & Fletcher are his agents.
He was well known to the old settlers
OF st. Paul. Mrs. Mann died here, and
after removing to Washington, Mr..
Mann married again. This wife and
one son survive him, and they were
notified yesterday of his death.
Col. Monfort, of the Windsor, states
that the last Seen of Mr. Mann was
about o'clock Wednesday evening,
when he left the office, and was sup
posed to have gone to his room. Moth
ing more was thought of it until yester-
day morning, when the chambermaid
could not get into the room. After
rapping several times and eliciting no
response, the girl notified Col Monfort,
who made an investigation, discover
ing Mr.. Mann dead in his bed Death
had evidently come without a struggle.
The coroner decided that death was
due to heart failure, and no inquest
will be necessary. The remains are at
Dampier's undertaking rooms, awaiting
instructions from his family in Wash
ingtOn.

POstPOnement

AS animated in the Glob e several
weeks ago, one Of the three st. PAUL
chicago lines which held out against
granting the rate and limitations
asked by the G.. A. r. veterans for the
annual eneampment, to be held in st.
raul In September, has asked permis-
sion of the Western Passenger assocfa-
ton to take the action and it is not
likely that many more days will elapse
before the remaining two will come into
the fold, rather than be left out of the
business induced by the low rate and
thirty-day limit. The road taking tbe
action referred to is the Milwaukee
which yesterday elected to grant the
one cent rate and limit, and the lines
which have not yet announced their
intention to do so are the Omaha and
burlington. AS soon as several of the
weaker lines had granted the rate. it
was apparent that the business could
be handled, and there appeared to be
no alternative for the other lines. I'M
less they wished to stand by and give
UP all hope Of getting, not only the G.
A. K. business, but all other business
attracted by the low rate in effect.
II was the opinion or railroad men
that, when the three lines mentioned
were the only ones not in, it would
be question of which would be the
hrst to change front. 1t is now consid-
cred merely matter of time when
all the lines in the Western Passen-
ger association will have agreed to the
action against which they fought so
stubbornly, and which they would
probably not have been forced to take
save for the break made by one or two
of the weaker lines.
Although no official action has been
taken, it is very unlikely that the local
committee will consent to the change
In date for the G. A. r. encampment
suggested by Commander-in-Chief
Walker. The confusion of dates that
would ensue is one Of the causes for
an aversion to change, but there are
more forcible ones, in the opinion of
the committee. One of these Is that
the conventions are to use the public
school buildings, and if the encamp-
ment were to be changed, as Gen.
Walker suggests, then it would be
necessary to postpone the opening of
the schools until the third week in Sep
tember
AS at first arranged, too, the state
fair will be held the same week as the
encampment, and there would be much
disappointment.
In addition to the one-cent rate, the
Milwaukee road will grant the time
limit of thirty days asked by the G.,
A. r.

IOWA ALSO.

We paid some attention yesterday to
the attitude of the Republicans of Ohio
and Kansas on the financial question.
In the former state, following Mr.. Nc
Kinleys own wandering and incoher-
ent declarations, they devised a clumsy
straddle, the major portion of which is
drawn from the Minneapolis platform
of 1892. In Kansas they ran away in
continently from the battle and saved
split in the convention by referring the
money plank to the meeting at st.
Louis. In Iowa they were not Drawer.
The purpose of the Iowa convention
lam B. Allison. The platform was con-
structed according to his ideas, as that
of Ohio was to suit Mr.. Mckinley. Mr.
Allison, like Senator Sherman and most
other Republicans, has been on all sides
of the financial issue at different times,
according as it seemed best for vote
getting purposes. Where he stands to-
day no man knows. Pointing all it's
declarations toward it's presidential IA
vorite, this is what the conven-
ton has to say, and all that
it has to say, on his view Of
the money question: "He has been fa-
vorable to true bimetallism, and he has
at all times labored to maintain an
abundant currency of gold, silver and
paper, made interconvertible and equal
to the best currency of the commercial
world"
There is a straddle for you that takes
the medal even from Foraker's keynote
speech. 1t means, as it was intended to
mean, precisely nothing. Attempt to
apply it to the situation of this coun-
try today, and to the practical need Of
currency reform, and you could inter-
pref it as upholding the single gold
standard or the single silver standard,
or the Issue of more greenbacks or the
purchase of silver bullion and the issue
of warehouse certificates against it.
There is no policy ever tried by this
government, or ever proposed by any
citizen, scientific or crack-brained,w which
a man might not claim to be in har-
mony with these alleged views of Mr..
Allison. 1t is fair, then, since he has
decided to say nothing, to judge him
by his past. Mr.. Allison is one of the
men who have doated on the reputation
of being willing "to do something for
silver" The true title of the act Of
1878, it should be remembered, by which
the currency of this country was first
debauched, and the benefits of specie
payments gradually undermined, is the
andzAllison act. Mr.. Bland was no
mere influential on his side in securing
the passage Of that compromise than
Mr.. Allison was on his. He has been
a compromiser from beginning to end,
and his refusal to declare himself to-
day shows that he has not changed his
policy. Iowa has fallen into line along
side of all the other states where the
Republicans have held conventions thus
far, in evading the financial issue.

it consists of Chinese, Japanese and
descendants of the native Hawaiians.
These people neither know nor care
under what form of government
they live. The so-called republic
now in existence there consists
merely of little knot of Anglo
Saxons who have taken possess
sion of power by virtue Of their
wealth, aggressiveness and superiority
in the governing instinct, and is
an oligarchy under the name of a
republic. BY no possibility can the
Hawaiian islands be added to the ter
ritory of the United States in con-
formity with our political usages and
institutions. Consistency is not a
characteristic Republican virtue. 1t
suffers a more obvious denial than
usual in the different views which that

to the proper arrangement of the politi-
cal future of Hawaii and of Cuba.
