of December 16, says:
"Pittsburg capital will be heavily in
terested in a new railroad now being
promoted by Denver parties.
"T. H. Russell, of Deadwood, register
of Wills of Lawrence county, South Da-
kota, arrived in Pittsburg yesterday
morning for the purpose of interesting
Pennsylvania capital in new road
from Orin Junction, Wyo., to Newcas-
tie, Wyo., distance of 200 miles.
.'Ihis, with sixty mile spur which
the Union Pacific and Gulf roads are
said to be contemplating from New
castle to Deadwood will give Deadwood
an outlet to Denver, shortening the
the rail haul from 1,1OO miles, as at
present, to 45O miles.
"Mr. Russell announced tonight that
he had had good success and would no
doubt carry back pledges of capital
and good rates on equipment for the
new line. Mr.. Russell claims that Da-
vid III. Moffat, the millionaire of Den
yer, as we'll as Maxey Tabor, manager
OF the Brown Palace hotel, of Denver,

to be built.
sBefore left Denver French syn

about the proposed line. I am assured
that before another year trains will be
running on at least part of the pro-

MONTEREY READY IN A WEEK.
Naval Omcials Are Confident That
She Can Cross the Pacific


Safely.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 2a.-The work Of
coaling and provisioning the u. 8. 8. Nom
terey is progressing rapidly. and when this
has been completed the vessel will go to
Mare Island to take on ammunition and to
undergo thorough examination before she
puts to sea.
Naval officials have calculated to their
entire satisfactnoi the possibility Of getting
the monitor Monterey safely across the
Pacitic to Admiral Dewey's squadron at
the Philippines. The principal difficulty
In making such a trip as this is the
small coal capacity Of vessels of the
Monterey's type. She carries normally 200
tons in her bunkers, which, at her most
economical rate of steaming, would take
her about 800 miles less than the distance
from San Francisco to Honolulu. In an
emergency such as now exists. 1t Is posst-
BILE to store a good deal of coal on the
main deck. Being placed in the passage
ways and open spaces Of the superstructure
of the vessel, the great beam Of the Monte
rey would permit $50 tons Of coal to be
carried in addition to that in the bunkers.
without in the least endangering the stabil-
ity of the ship or risking the loss of coal
by being washed overheard. At her eco
nomical speed Of $50 knots per day. this
coal would last her seventeen days and
carry her $500 knots. Owing to the care
fully laid plans of the navy department,
the Monterey nowhere on her long cruise
would be obliged to make a run. of more
than 2,100 knots without an opportunity to
coal.
. The ship will take southerly course aft
er leaving Honolulu. in company with a
no f,,l1 nf
islands as soon as Hawaii has been left
1000 miles behind, and In the sheltered
harbors Of these it should be very easy
for the Monterey to lie alongside her col
lier and coal through her superstructure.
1t would not be surprising II one OF the
harbors chosen for such q transfer was in
the Caroline islands, another Spanish pos
session in the South seas, for by SO doing
there could be no possible complaint of a
breach Of neutrality laws on the part of
any neutral nation. From the Carolines to
the Philippines the way is easy, and un-
der the programme arranged there is no
probability Of failure In the attempt to get
the Monterey safely across the Pacific.
The Spanish squadron at Cadiz, which re-
ports from Spain state Is going to the
Philippines. 10 capable of higher speed than
the Monterey, and may not have much diff
ficulty in obtaining the necessary coal to
make the trip. SO that, even .nough the dis
tance be longer on the eastward trip, there
are possibilities of a most interesting race
by the hostile ships.
The naval orders issued this morning an
nounced the assignment to tho command of
the Monterey OF Captain Eugene H.
Leutz, lately in command of the Alert.
WASHINGTON, May BIT is said at
the navy department that 1t will be at least
five days before the Monterey can be start
| ed on her long journey from San Francisco
| to Manila, the delay being on account of
| the, preparations that must be made for
the very exceptional service required Of the
vessel.

conversation he and Governor Leedy had
last winter over the metropolitan police

was necessary, he got them to change
their minds. The bill was killed in the
