WAR DEPARTMENT REFUSAL
The Quartermaster-G Refuses
to Grant An Extension of the
Water System at the Ma
tional Cemetery.
An Extra Appropriation Was Desired
for the Purpose of Substituting
Lawns for the Long Stretch of
Gravel Beds That Now
Blot the Landscape.

Delegate Ferguson has written to the
editor of the New MEXICAN inclosing a
letter from the War department referring
to requested supply of water for the
National cemetery which would enable
the superintendent to substitute lawns
for the present barren landscape of gravel
that now characterizes the place. The
request came about through a recent
article in the NEW MEXICAN advocating
the above substitution, and pointing out
its numerous advantages. A marked
copy of the paper was sent to Delegate
Ferguson and his approval was 80 hearty
that he took the matter up by letter with
the editor of the NEW MEXICAN. The re
suit was request on the part of our
delegate in congress for an increased ap-
preparation for water at the cemetery. In
reply to this request the quartermaster
general writes Delegate Ferguson as fol-
lows.

CHICAGO MEN MAY DIG 1T.
An Independent Surveying Party
Leaving for Nicaragua Canal Site.

Chicago, Dec. PA special to the
Record from Washington, D. C. says:
The steamer Finance, which sails
from New York next Thursday. carries
an important delegation of engineers
and contractors who propose to look
over the route of the Nicaragua canal
on their own hook, without waiting the
report of the commission which the
government recently sent to revise the
surveys and estimates heretofore sub
m1tted to congress. AS far as can be
learned this party has no connection
with and asked no assistance from the
government although Senator Morgan
who has always taken the leading part
in leg1SIat alton relating to the canal has
encouraged the journey, and thinks
that the interest which has inspired the
enterprise is the most favorable sign
that has lately appeared. The senator
understands that the party will be
composed of some of the heaviest con-
tractors now engaged in the cOnstruc-
tiOn of the Chicago drainage canal and
that they will be accompanied by con-
Sulting engineers of their own choice
who will assist them in making a prac-
tical examination of the several routes
that have been recommended and pre-
pairing estimates of the cost of con-
struction.
1t is understood here that the con-
tractors on the drainage canal are tax
ing this step with a view to utilizing
their machinery and force of employees
when their present contracts are COM
pleted, and if they find things to their
satisfaction they propose either to pur-
chase the concessions of the Maratime
company or to enter into a contract to
complete the canal taking a certain
amount of stock and bonds in the cor
pOratiOn as their cOmpensatiOn
The present situation in Nicaragua
requires that some action shall be ia
ken by the United States immediately
in order to preserve our rights under
teh existing treaty and concessions.
The Menocal concession upon which
the present company is working and
III
ing in congress is based, expires in
1899.

WALKED OUT OF DAWSON.
Passengers From That Point Say the
Trail Will be Open All Winter.

Tacoma, Wn-, Dec 24.-AmOng the
passengers from Dawson who came
down on the City of Seattle, are Col.
Lamphere and Mr.. Gregory of Chica-
go and D. P. Quinlan of Seattle; T.
Gardner of OcOnomowoc, Wis, and T.
B. Denny of Roselin, Wn.
Quinlan, Gardner and Denny came
out from Dawson, having left that place
November 4. They walked all the way
and carried their food on their backs
and on sleds. They occupied a little
more than 80 days on the trip.
Mr.. Gardner and his companions
made the trip out without any trouble.
although they struck some weather
that sent the mercury 65 below zero.
This was on the exposed mountain
tops and did not last long or cause
them any inconvenience. These men
say there will be no great difficulty in
getting into Dawson all winter if the
roads and the weather do not get worse
than now.
They report the country as being
rich with gold and say new and valua-
Bile discoveries are being made every
few days.
No gold was brought out by any of
the men who came down on the City
of Seattle.
Colonel Lamphere and Mr.. Gilbert
bought two mines within so miles of
Juneau, which will be worked by
company with Il capital of $1,000, 600.
These gentlemen say that work is be-
ing rushed on the Dyea Aerial railway
and also on the Skaguay trail, and that
both will be in shape for the miners
to pass over in the early spring.

TO BRANCH OUT.
Kansas Mutual Life Will Take Ad-
vantage of New York Com
panY's Withdrawal.

The withdrawal of the New York
Mutual from Kansas will undoubtedly
rebound to the benefit of the home
companies.
The Kansas Mutual is already max
ing an effort to employ all the agents
of the New York Mutual. A PROPOSE
tion has been made to General Agent
John Z. Lord to take a position with
the Kansas company, and agents all
over Kansas will be invited to take po-
sitiOns with the Kansas Mutual. The
company expects to double it's business
in Kansas next year, and the with
draWal of foreign companies viii by
no means impede such a determination.
1t may be that the Kansas Mutual Life
viii so increase its business that it
will erect d new building in Topeka and
employ several times as many clerks.

President Mckinley is fully advised
as to Mr.. WolcOtt's purpose and is sor-
~ that the administration will short
ly lose the support of so able a man.
Undoubtedly the speech will be a
sensation, and to add to the sensa-
tiOnal features of the occasion it is eX-
pected that a number of Republican
senators who have heretofore sup
ported the administration will prompt
" follow Mr.. WOlcOtt in giving notice
that they no longer act with the Re
publican party.
Among the senators who will prOba-
bly, join with Mr.. Wolcott in abandon
ing the administration are Mr.. Carter
Of Montana, Mr.. Shoup of Idaho. Mr..
Clark of Wyoming, Mr.. Warren of Wy
Oming and Mr.. Wilson of Washington.
These men have always favored the
free coinage of silver, but they consent
ed very reluctantly to support the St.

the hope held out that Mr.. Mckinley
would be able if elected, to accomplish
something for silver by bringing about

1t is Time That All the Rail-
roads Entering Topeka
Unite in Building a Union De
pot on Kansas Avenue.
ALL ARE CROWDED.
Santa Fe Has Waiting Rooms
Too Small.
Rock Island Needs More Room
for Offices.

The new and greater Topeka in it's
march of progress, now well under
way, needs as another mark of ad-
vancement a Union depot.
All the railroads entering the capital
city have this year done a record
breaking business in passenger and
freight traffic with stin brighter pros
poets for 1898.
Why can't these companies do a big
thing for themselves and the city of
Topeka by the construction of a Union
station?
The natural location for such a depot
for the use of all the roads, the conven-
ience and economy of themselves and
the public is on First street on the east
side of Quincy street This tract to the
extent of half a block extending from
Quincy to Kansas avenue and from First
to the alley is already railroad proper
ty.
The Santa Fe. Manhattan, Alma &, Bur
lingame. LeavenwOrth & Southwestern.
and the Rock Island already have
tracks on First street adjoining this
site. The Missouri Pacific tracks are
near by and the Union Pacific is inter
ested in the Manhattan & Alma line.
The Union Pacific main line could
easily effect an arrangement to come
over to the South side with it's west
bound trains by the Santa Fe bridge
and go out over the Rock Island bridge
and reverse the plan with it's east
bound trains.
The advantages of a Union station
to the public are inestimable To the
railroads and express companies a
great saving is possible in the common
use of waiting rooms, ticket sellers, f-X-
press facilities, etc. The saving in the
transfer of express and passengers will
be large in a financial way ana great in
the matter of convenience to travellers
who come IN on one road and leave on
another.
The Union depot project is especially
timely just now for many reasons,
among which may be named a few:
The present Santa Fe depot is entire
ly too small to take care of the enor-
nous business of that company in this
city Only recently it has been neees-
sary to encrOach on the waiting rooms
for lunch counter now too small. A
newsstand has been built outside on
the platform. The company needs its
present passenger building for a freight
house.
The Rock Island building is crowded
and needs its present waiting rooms
and ticket office for additional general
offices. The Missouri Pacific has no
suitable facilities whatever and is COM
PEELED to keep its passenger office lock-
ed up half the time.
A Union depot at First and Kansas
avenue would with the new bridge and
the auditorium practically wipe out
Smoky Row and make lower Kansas
avenue a respectable and important
portion of the city

IT MAY DEFEAT HANNA
Espublican Opponents Will Vote for
Silver Man to Beat Him.

Columbus, Ohio. Dec. 24.-The State
Journal this morning prints a story
that the Republicans. led by Charles
kurtz. in opposition to the reelection
of Senator Hanna, have promised to
support free silver as the price of the
defeat of Senator Hanna The story,
the Journal states, comes from a man
who claims that Mr.. Hanna Will be
defeated. The Journal says:
Conferences are being held in vari-
Gus parts of the state by Democrats
who have gathered at the direction OF
Mclean and the free silver leaders to
plan for bringing pressure to bear up
on Democratic members OF the legis-
lature to vote for Cover nor Bushnell
and the argument which is used in
these conferences to convince the
doubling and bring conviction to the
hesitating is that Bushnell has surren-
dered to the Bryanites idea of finance
and will act with the free silver men in
the United States senate if elected
