THIS morning. The president sent his prf-
vate carriage to bring him. The speaker
promised the president 70 facilitate the
passage Of any resolution or bin the presI-
denf may think necessary. TO bring an end
to she war in Cuba. II It is a resolution
authorizing the president to send troops to
the island 1t will be adopted. II It is to
recognize the independence OF the insur.
gent government. there VIII be no oppose
tion. The conference with the speaker
was very short The president told Mr..
Reed that he expected tho report Thurs
day evening or Friday morning and that
by Monday he expected to have de,rmn-
ed upon what action will be necessary. He
asked for his co-operation.
The speaker replied that, while he was
not In favor OF the annexation Of Cuba,
and had not much sympathy with the in
surgents' claims for recognition. no had
been of the opinion for a long time that
the war ought to be stopped; that 1t ought
TO have been stopped before the Maine
was blown up. and he would cordially CO.
operate for the purpose Of bringing the
barbarous warfare 10 a conclusion.
The speaker came TO the White House
I'm response to telephone message. In
order to avoid the reporters he went away
by the south door.
During the morning the president also
conferred with Representatives Dsngley
and Hit. The former. because IL money
is called for he will have general charge
Of the matter. and the latter. because IL
a resolution Is introduced declaring II nee
essary for this country TO intervene to
stop the war. he will have charge OF that.

An application Just placed In the hands
OF the city councilmen gives to the public
the first animation of what bids fair TO be
one of the most important railroad enter
prises with which Seattle has ever been
connected. If brought TO a successful
completion 1t will afford entrance TO this
city by the Canadian Pacific from the
north and by the Union Pacific from the
south. The plan is for the construction of
q competing standard gauge line from
Portland TO Seattle and thence northward
TO the Canadian boundary. 1t has, or ap-
pears 10 have. back OF it the great rail-
road interests of the Vanderbilts. and is

SEATTLE IS SOON TO HIVE TWO Additional
IRANSCMINENIAL railway TERMINALS,

claeaon that that is precisely what Is aimed
at.
The proposed road has no connection
whatever with any of the several dormant
or abandoned projects for road between
Seattle and Portland. such rs the abor,ive
joint effort of the Great Northern and the
Union Pacific in 1890. which progressed so
Tor as right OF way, grading and even the
partial construction of bridge across the
Columbia at Vancouver. but collapsed at
the failure OF the Union Pacific. It mas no
connection with the scheme which will be
remembered by all Seattle people under
the name Of the Seattle Southern, which
had its terminus in West Seattle and was
subsidiary to the Southern Pacific.
Shortest Practicable Route.
The company sets out to be independent
of these and all other old routes or plans.
1t proposes to take the shortest practicable
route between the two cities. Nothing is
known as to its purposes concerning Ia
coma. but 1t seems altogether probable
that no effort will be made to reach that
city, at least with the main line, inasmuch
as all available terminal facilities there
are known to be taken up by the Northern
Pacific.
That the company has ample financial
hoo SC oh h..s tic
surances and references but by the very
terms of the franchise which il is now
engaged in placing before the city coun-
Gil. The terms Of that franchise stipu-
late most positively and emphatically
that work on the road must be begun
within thirty days after the granting OF
the franchise, and that the franchise
shall be wholly void and forfeited after
November !. 1899, unless the line between
Seattle and Portland shall have been COM
pIeted and in actual operation. In other
words it calls for the completion OF an en-
terprise of considerable magnitude and
cost within a period of eighteen months.
A 1urtner PROOF OK the companyS nnan-
cial staunchness and good faith appears
in the fact that it is asking absolutely.
no subsidies of any kind whatever. and is
already negotiating for terminal facili-
ties on the Seattle tide lands whose value
will approximate $4,000 or 100000.
The cost of a road such as Is contemplate
ed would amount. for the portion between
Seattle and Portland. to probably from
$1,000. .OOO to 1000 900. and il the entire dis
tance is completed by November l, 1899.
the work OF construction will certainly
give employment to a very large number
Of men. The bridge across the Columbia
at Vancouver, where it is understood the
new line intends to cross, will itself cost
a considerable sum OF money. The en-
tire distance to be covered by the line
would be approximately $50 miles from
Portland to Seattle and Is miles from Sc
attle to the Canadian boundary, a total
of 3o5 miles.
