Proposed Extension 60 Portland.

The article referred TO- In explaining how
and why Mr. Hiis was to extend the
Great Northern from Seattle to Tacoma
and thence to Portland, eiucidates the fol-
lowing:
..rhe Tacoma Portland right-of-way was
secured By tlie Columbia River Il Puget
Sound railway. d subsidiary corporation
to the Union Pacific. The right-ofway was
through a rich agricultural section Over
forty miles Of this right-ofway was
graded. most OF the work being done in
Pierce Lewis and Clarke counties. The
grade ends abruptly near Lake View and
Is stiIl In good condition.
In 1859 Hill purchased half OF the stock
OF the Columbia River d Puget Sound rail-
way. agreeing with the Union Pacific that
the two railroads were TO own the right
ofway Jointly Difficulties in the way Of
completing the work arose and II was aban-
doned In that year.
RAILROAD men state that the work In
grading already done represents An out
lay Of probably Sn.an II is worth 20 per
cent. Of that amount and with little work
In ssrfacing coulG be placed IN good condi-
ton. The rest of the grading Is easy
The Original company planned To build a
railroad bridge across The Columbia river
The work was undertaken at the lime
and few piles driven and the first timhers
stretched, When the grade was abandoned
work on the bridge was stopped

$350 The ring needed alteration, and was to be ready in the afternoon. In the meantime the man offered to pay for the lot with a certified check for $751 drawn on the German-American bank to the order of John c. Stanley and signed Schinasi Brothers. Mrs. Lynch asked the man to wait until the check was deposited, while Cannavan went to the bank, where he was told that the check was all right. Not yet satisfied, it is said, Cannavan went to Schinasi Brothers office in Broad street, where at first the signature was acknowledged, and then it was discov- cred that there was no corresponding stub in the check book.
 Cannavan hurried back to the store and had Dixon arrested. He was taken to the West Thirtieth street station. His effects included a box of pills, a slip Of paper, on which was written Communicate when finished with 369 Spring. and two letters, one in cipher and the other in Chinese. The police say the prisoner attempted to destroy the slip of paper when he was brought back.
 Captain Price telephoned to head quarters of his suspicious in the case, and Detective O'Connell was sent up for the prisoner.

 million tons in 1873 to 23. .90O,52O in 1896, an increase in that time of zoo per cent, while the increase in the reg istered tonnage through St. Marys Falls canal alone in that time is from l ,204, ,446 to 17,619, ,933
 The Welland canal tables show that ithe quantity of freight passed through that canal in 1880 was 819, ,934 tons, and in 1896 1,279,9S7. though comparing 1896 with 1872, 1873 and 1874, no in- crease is found, the figures of 1872 be- ing 1, ,333, ,104 and those Of 1873 1,506, ASA.
 while the tons passed from United States ports to United States ports through the Welland canal fell from 748,557 in 1874 to 653,21 in 1896.
 The New York canal tables show a steady increase since 1880 in the tons of merchandise carried to tide water. The number of tons of freight carried to tide water on the New York canals in 1880 was 4,067 ,402, in 1890 3,024, ,765 and in 1897 1,S7S,21S while all other canals mentioned as above indicated show large gains in business mean time.
 The reduction of freight rates, es- pecially on the Great Lakes and by rail in competition with the lakes and their canals is also shown by a series of tables. These show a material reduc- tion in freight rates between Chicago and New York. whether carried by lake and rail. lake and canals or by all rail, though the reduction where carried by the all water route of lake and canals is greater than in cases where part or all CT the transportation is by rail. The average rates per bushel for wheat from Chicago to New York by lake and canal were in 1877 11.24 psr cent per buSael; in 1857, s.5, per ~cene and in

MURDER OF A SOLDIER
Struck by Guard With a Bayonef
 and Skull Fractured.

Newport News, Va, Dec. 19.-Last night just before the First Kentucky regiment left the pier at which the transport was moored, for their train, two members of the regiment, privates Henry Reffett of company I, and Henry c. Brehm of company B, who were intoxicated, attempted to pass the sentinel and board the transport. The sentinel, who is now on his way to Kentucky, and whose name is unknown here, being unable to persuade the men with words, struck them with the fiat side of the bayonet on his rifle. Ref fett'S skull was fractured and Brehm was badly injured. The regimental surgeon put few stitches in Reffett's s head and the two men were left lying outside on the wharf in the cold until an ambulance from Old Point Comfort arrived several hours later.
 When the ambulance came Reffett was dead and Brehm was almost frozen and nearly dead. Reffett's skull was crushed in, and a clot of blood as big as a hens egg had formed upon the brain. He lived two hours after being struck, and it is the opinion of the coroner that his life might have been saved by proper treatment. The body was put into coffin too small, the operation requiring considerable neck twisting, and sent to Old Point Com fort. No inquest was possible because of the lack of witnesses

ALLEGED ANH-DREYFUS PLOT
League of Patriots Would Prevent
 inc Prisoners Return to Pa-IS.

London, Dec 19.-The Daily News reports the discovery Of a plot to pre- vent Dreyfus from reaching Paris. It was started when the probability of the court Of cessation recalling the prisoner was first mooted, and was originated by the League of Patriots, which, un- der Paul Deroulede, numbers about 300 900 members. These were ordered to hold themselves in readiness to act. The league communicated with the otti- cers commanding army corps, brigadeS and regiments
 Only one of these thought fit to com municate the plot direct to the war of fee. He was the colonel of regiment stationed near the Brittany Normandy border.
 M. de Freycinet, minister Of war, i'm mediately issued orders to the troops at the various stations to hold them selves in readiness to go on trains at d moments nctiee. As soon as the ves- sel bringing the prisoner is signalled all the places along the route by which he will be taken to Paris will be gaTri soned and any attempt at resistance by the league will be suppressed.
 A minor state of siege will be pro- en, the military governor, will not be in command there.
 The execution of these plans, accord ing to the Daily News, depends on the attitude of the Leagu of Patriots.
 Dreyfus is not expected to arrive be- fore the last week in January
