THREE NEW STEEL BRIDGES
To BE Erected by the Northern Pacific
between seattle and Tacoma.

Tacoma. May 3.-Special.-Three new
steel bridges will be constructed this sum
mer by the Northern Pacific railroad be-
tween this city and Seattle. This is In
Inc with the policy of Improvement OF its
property In the West that has already been
begun by the company. and which Presi-
dent Braytou Ives has stated win be con-
tinued on a larger scale as soon as the new
company assumes control
The building OF the three bridges will in
voive the expenditure of $500 In round
numbers. They will cross the Stuck. White
and Black rivers between Tacoma and Sc
attic. At present the track crosses these
streams on high wooden trestlcs. which.
while they arc perfectly safe and IN good
repair, are of course, inferior TO steel. The
approaches to the Black and Stuck river
bridges have been filled in within the past
year. and that 10 the white river bridge
has been recently renewed with new ma
ter!zL
Within a short time a force OF men VIII
be put TO work on the improvements, and
the new bridges viii be completed this
summer When they are finished and 9TH
er minor improvements are made the road
bed between this city and Seattle Will he
in frst-ciAss shape, enabling the company
to maintain the fast passenger schedule
that IS already In force between the two
towns.
At its carshops in South Tacoma the
company Will soon begin the construction
of 10 iat cars for its own use.

A TOMB DESECRATED
StambcuIsfPs Enemies Explode Dynamite on
His Grave

StambcuIsfPs Enemies Explode Dynamite on
SOFIA, Bulgaria. Aug. 2.-The tomb
Of M. Stambuloff, the ex-premier of Bull
garia, who was assassinated in the
streets of Sofia in July of last year. has
been seriously injured with a dynamite
bomb.
Once before in August of last year
Stambuloff's grave was made the object
of outrage by vandals, the cross on the
grave being broken, the wreaths de-
stroyed. and attempts were being made
to exhume the body when the police in
terfered
A riot was caused at the grave Of the
dead statesman at the time the funeral
ceremony was going on, on July 20 of last
year, by his enemies and by friends of
Major Panitza, who had been executed
by an order of Mr.. Stambuloff, while
he was premier. For some time after
his burial his grave had to be kept
guarded by military, so persistent were
his enemies in their attempts to wreak
insults upon the grave, and his widow
was equally the victim of the malice of
her husbands enemies in acts of per-
secution by Bulgarian officials against
members Of her household.

DALLAS. Tex. Aug 1.-The awful
past continues today. Indeed, it was
worse at several points in the city, the
thermometer showing 1071h, or one and
a half degrees above yesterdays regis
ter. Old men who have been here forty
years say they never knew anything
like 1t before. While the whole earth
seems hot enough to take fire, not case
of prostration was reported yesterday
or today. There has been no rain in sew
eral weeks and of course everything in
the green fields is rapidly dyirA. Dis
patches from the Indian territory re-

day and today at Gutherie.
OHIO'S SHURRICANE
CINCINNATI, Aug. 2.-Many people
here today visited the scene of the hur-
ricane yesterday in the northern sub
urbs. The public did not know what
a narrow escape the city had until to-
day. With the wind blowing sixty miles
an hour and a rainfall of t'so inches
within two hours, the weather bureau
says the city was fortunate in escap-
ing withonly property damage. This
was due to there being no funnel-shaped
clouds, no twisting winds nor whirl-
winds. While the dark clouds burst,
the wind swept straight across the city
and its suburbs. 1t unroofed hundreds
of buildings thta were occupied, but all
the buildings demolished were either
old structures, barns and sheds, or build
ings in process of construction. All
the railroads are entering the city to-
day on time, but some of the street rail-
ways and the telephone lines are still
disabled.

In conclusion Senator Jones, accord
ing to the World correspondent, COM
plimented the Populists of the north
and west as broad minded and patriotic
men. On the other hand he said the
Populists of the south were out for
nothing but "spoils." Mr.. Jones said
he did not propose oallow Mr.. Watson
to bluff" him into withdrawing sewall.
He said he was willing to make fair
and proper arrangements with the Pop
ulists in the matter of electoral tickets,
but he did not propose to consent to any
improper arrangements.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 2.-Regarding
the rumor that he had promised to ap-

Mr.. Bryan said tonight:
I'm order to answer once for all ru-
mors in regard to places promised, I
desire to say that have not directly or
indirectly promised any office of any
kind to any person whomsoever, and
shall not during the campaign promise

Belief Expressed That Pair Election Cannot
Be Held-Fuslonists Expect to Con-
troll tho Legislature

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. IA special
to the Commercial-Appeal from Birming-
ham, Ala, says:
It Is evident tonight that the Populist-
Republican leaders do not expect their
state ticket to be elected tomorrow. but
are directing all their energies to cap
ture the legislature. for the purpose OF
seating Goodwin on the allegation that
he had been defrauded, and also electing
a Populist or Republican senator. Will
liam Vaughn stAtst IT sthRs rBBifaaeK 6sit sShn-
a,cation Of fraSniHie ryaSiieves the fusionists will
control the legislature on joint ballot
and that Goodwin will be the next gov
ernor. He asserts that, with a fair cleo
ton, Goodwin would carry forty out Of
sixty-four counties. Capt Joseph F.
Johnston. Democratic candidate for
governor. said tonight:
'I am satisfied from observation and
reports that we shall carry the state by
not less than 10000 majority. and possi-
bly, larger. All the Democrats, without
regard to the currency question. and,
think, many Republicans who favor free
coinage will vote our ticket. Good gov
ernment and protection to property in
terests are largely involved. The legis-
lature, think, will be nearly two-thirds
Democratic, standing on the Chicago
platform. I have distinctly made the
issue that a large majority cast for our
ticket tomorrow will strengthen Bryan
in November next"
Capt. Johnston thinks Goodwin will
not carry exceeding thirteen counties.
Secretary Miller of the Democratic cam
paign committee tonight estimates that
the Democrats will have twenty one out
of thirtythree members of the state SEN
ate, and will elect seventy-two out of 100
members of the house certainly, with
the probability Of making it eighty-one.
1t can be stated that there is every indi-
cation of a fair election. Nobody has
heard of any fraud but the anti-Demo-
cratic leaders, and they are not specify
ing. but only charging it generally, with
out any apparent ground for the charges.
Johnston's election and a Democratic
legislature are regarded as absolute GER
tainties.
HERBERT AT HOME.
MONTGOMERY. Ala, Aug. 2.-Hon.
Hilary Herbert, secretary of the navy,

nounced that after the state elections
are disposed of some diligent work will
be done in Alabama in the interest of

movement Ex-Gov. Jones of Alabama

cd of its existence"
What is your opinion Of the ultimate

kinley administration during the peril
cd of its existence"
What is your opinion Of the ultimate
outlook?"
Everything depends upon the man
ner in which the campaign is waged.
To my mind there is but one test of
prosperity which can be applied to a
country, and that is the rate Of wages
paid to laborers. There can be no pros
perity where low wages are paid. There
can be no distress where the rate of
wages is high. 1t can be easily demon
strated that this whole free silver move
ment is a conspiracy against wages, and
IL the campaign is fought on this line
I have no doubt that every northern
state-that is to say, every state in the
union in which 1t is practicable to hold
free election-will be carried by the
intelligence and morality of the Ameri-
can people against the monstrous prop
ositions submitted to them by the con-
vention which nominated Mr.. Bryan for
the presidency"
THE GREAT ISSUE
SEATTLE, Aug. "A special to the
Post-Intelligencer from New Whatcomb
says: P. B. Cornwall, late chairman of
the Republican state committee of Cali
fornia, who arrived yesterday from San
Franciso, said, In an interview: While
the silver sentiment is strong in Cali
fornia protection Is regarded as the
greater issue there and he seems conf
dent that the state will give good ma
jority for Mckinley.
He laid some stress upon the fact that

says that many Of the gold mine owners
are shouting for free silver coinage be-
cause they know it's effect would be to
force gold to premium, and thus great
ly increase their profits. The national
chairman of the free silver party, Mr..
Lane. he says, is heavily interested in
gold mines, and supports the cause of
| free silver solely for the reason stated.

ANDRHE'S BALLOON
Filled With Gas and Really to Float Over the
Icsbergs

STOCKHOLM, Aug News has
been received from Spitzbergen that
Prof. IS. A. Andree's balloon has been
filled and was ready to start on July 25.
The Virgo, with Prof. Andree, his two
companions and his apparatus on board,
sailed from Tromsoe on June Is.
Since June 2 the expedition has been
established in Pixies house in the north
ern half of West Spitzbergen opposite
Danes island. The stores and equip
ments had already been disembarked
and the position was considered very
favorable. AS the explorer had planned
that his preparations would all be COM
pleted and his balloon filled by the first
week in July is seems probable that
some unexpected obstacle has been met
with in completing the preparations.
