SYMPATHY IN ENGLAND.
The Suggested Anglo-American Al
Iiance--European Threats.

LONDON, March 16-The Honorable
Artillery Company. of London, gave a
banquet last night to Messrs. Hedges,
Ferris. and Lewis. Of the Boston Homo
rable Artillery Company, the Earl Of Den
high presiding Among the guests were
Consul General Osborne, Nice-CoDsul-
General Escott, and Lieutenant-C Colonel
Wall naval attache of the United States
Embassy. Lord Denbigh. In toasting the
President of the United States, said: I'VE
all displayed sympathy with America in
the sad national disaster that befel the
Maine President Mckinley, cool and
level-headed. Is not likely to run the
country into any unnecessary danger.
With such an honorable ruler, We must
be jealous of the honor of this country.
Consul-General Osborne on rising TO
respond to the toast, referred to the
talk of an Anglo-American alliance, and
testified to the friendly feeling between
the two countries. He said he did not
believe either needed protection, unless
against a combination of Powers, but
should that combination ever occur he
was confident that the protection would
be generously given.
Mr. Osborne expressed the opinion that
the strained relations between the United
States and Spain would soon be removed.
The Daily News. commenting this
morning on the speech of Mr.. Osborne,
says: what we have done in this coun-
try is to give public notice that the com
binations of European Powers with
which the United States are daily threat
ened on the Continent, do not include,
and never will include, our kindred
selves. No more could be said.
But if 1t did demand more, more
would be said and we firmly believe all
that the Americans happened 10 con-
slider needful would also be done

MILES on WAR POSSIBILITY.
II Conflict Comes, II should De short
and sharp.

WASHINGTON. March 15.-General
Nelson A. Miles spoke at the annual ban
quet OF the Second Army Corps here to-
night. He said in part;
"No nation has ever had so much to say
against war. against the maintenance of
a large army, or against anything that
might lead us to conflict and no nation
has had so much to say in favor of peace
and arbitration. No people are so anxious
to maintain peace at home and abroad
as the American people. We would not
enter into any conflict without Just pro-
vocation or a righteous cause. We are
slow to take up our arms, but when the
time does come l trust we shall not be
found sumbering.
II hope there will be no war l. as a
soldier trust that II there is war. there
viii be no Bull Runs TO begin with, but
an Appomattox. We are situated so that
the conflict should be short, sharp, and
decisive"

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer-
SPOKANE Dec e-From an inside
source il IL learned that an era OF bridge
building VIII be inaugurated by the Great
Northern in the West upon the opening OF
spring. Tbs much was admitted by Pres
idsnt Hill TO the Post InteIigencer repre-
sentative in his recent interview Ii IS
the intention OF the company TO rebu-io All
wooden bridges west of Minot with steel
structures and TO fill IN all trestiss or re-
place them with steel In most or the cases
filling in.
The magnitude Of this undertaking may
be understood when IL is known that the
road possesses west Of Minot li2.56I hneal
feet Of bridges and tresties. nearly all or
wood On the Fairhayen Southern line
there are 55l lEneal. feet of bridges and tres
ties per mile. or about 10 per cent OF its
total mileage. The general average OF
work of this kind PER mile on the system
west of Ninot is 117.53 iineal feet.
For absolute safety it Is deemed necessary
to replace wooden structures every seven
or eight years. and as the bridges now in
use west of M.not have been In use for six
years. the work of replacing them with
steel viii commence as soon as spring has
arrived. In this state a vast amount OF
work is now being done filing in iressles.
All the rock that comes from the Cascade
tunnel Is being used for the purpose and
for rip-rapping. Where the tracks are
being raised above high water in the v.cin-
ity of Crab and Wilson creeks. much OF this
rock is also being used The coulees here
are dry except in times of a freshet. when
the torrents invariably do vast damage to
the road for many miles. Similar work
on an extensive scale will be done west OF
the mountains.

the outcome OF his enterprise has material

British builders and those OF the contin-

in machine tools frequently receives too
little consideration for them. In one in

were particularly well arranged. Remark

which dealt largely with the war. was

alphabetically of the American army

volunteers were the Rough Riders. He
severely condemned the insurgents, who
he said rendered little assistance to the
Americans. He did not see a single white

officers.
Count Won GoetZen said the dynamite

He praised Gen. Skaters treatment of
the foreign officers who accompanied his

characterized by the lecturer as "a most
excellent body. though small and their
uniforms as practical A portion of the
