LIBBY PRISON SENTINELS.
Silent Guardians of Old Confederate
Prison Now Wear the Blue.

Silent Guardians of Old Confederate
Prison Now Wear the Blue.
The two stolid soldiers that keep 81 ]
lent sentinel over Libby prison in Chi
cago now wear the blue uniform, and
therein lies a story full Of significance
and beauty.
When that historic old Confederate
prison was brought to Chicago in 1898
from Richmond, where it did service in
the civil strife, and was regretted on
the South Side, two soldier statues were
placed upon the front parapet to stand
guard. One was clad in blue, the other
in gray, representing the Union and
Confederate uniforms. Thousands of
people from the world over have seem
and admired these two stern, begrimed'
sentinels, and more the thought that
grew out of the contrast. Both told of
bravery and sacrifices displayed in
bloody war. There they stood, unaffect-
ed by the severe rigors of winter or by
the parohing sun Of summer. Under.
meath their old garb of blue and gray
were seen two distinctive types of de.
veloped thought. habit and character,
symbolizing the once north and south,
divided and again united. Today these
two "boys in blue" tell story of a
more perfect union, in feeling especially
and in community of interests. They tell
Of one people under the same constitu-
tion and owing fealty to the same stars
and stripes. The cause of the nation is
their cause alike, and as readily did the
gray as the blue rally as one when the
tocsin sounded for patriot soldiers to
strike in common against Spain for right
and iuSfica and humanity
In these two soldiers now in blue,
still standing at their posts, facing the
thousands that pass in review daily, is a
lesson that has taken more than u quar-
ter of a century and bloody war with
foreign nation to learn. The lesson is
finished. -Chicago Tribune.

RAILWAY OFFICIALS HERE.
Prominent Party of D. & G. People
Visiting. Salt Lake.


A party of prominent members of the
Denver & Gulf reorganization commit
tee arrived in the city yesterday The
railroad people came in over the Rio
Grande Westerns noon train, to which
their special car, Iolanthe, was at
tached. The party is made up of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Bulge of New York
City, Mr.. and Mrs. II. Winterfeldt of
Berlin, Alfons Lewis and Harry Bron-
ner of New York City, and they are all
quartered at the Knutsford.
Mr.. Lewis, who acts as spokesman
for the party, said their trip to Utah
was purely one of pleasure.
AS you know, we have just com
pleted the work of reorganizing the
Gulf system, and some of the members
of the committee decided to come furth-
er west, and so we are travelling by de-
greeS," he volunteered. To-day we have
seen as much of your city as we could,
considering the inclemency of the
weather, and we have had the great
pleasure of seeing your tabernacle and
heard its grand organ
In speaking of the railroad outlook in
the west, Mr.. Lewis said it was certain
ly good, and few eastern people realized
the marvellous possibilities of the re-
sources in the Rocky mountain coun-
try. The Denver q Gulf or the Colo
RADIO & Southern, as it will be called,
viii be made an important factor in
traffic from the intermOuntain country.
The Denver 81 Gulf people foresee a
lively competition in the future between
the lines running to the Atlantic sea-
board and those with terminals on the
gulf. The latter, however, are in a bet
ter position to handle the business,
because Of the shorter haul. Freight
can always be transported cheaper on
water, and the fact that the gulf ports
have been extending their business of
late, has caused some alarm among the
Atlantic ports. There is every reason
to believe the lines east of the Missis-
sippi viii have to combine in order to
get much of the freight which now is
beginning to go south. In case the Nj
caragua canal is built, all this will be
changed. Until then, however, the
Denver & Gulf is in a position TO make
it lively for lines running east"
The party will leave for California on
the noon train of the Western today.

Commerce Investigation-Notes.


President A. W. NIcCune of the Utah
& Pacific will go south this morning to
make an inspection of the work on the
road. He will be accompanied by Chief
Engineer O'Melveney. of the Oregon
Short Line, and it is probable General
Manager Bancroft and General Super
intendent Calvin will also so down with
the president. The party will make a
general inspection of the work that has
been accomplished, and look over the
ground to plan for the future.
Mr.. McCunea intended to make the
trip some time ago, but as the work
was going on at a satisfactory rate
there was no necessity for his presence
on the ground. RumQrs had it that the
work was soon to discontinue for d
couple of months owing to the slow
manner in which material has been OBJ
tanned, but officials say the work will
continue all winter, if ties can be sup
piled to keep a force of men. however
small, at work. Since the rush season
on the Short Line is about over, there
viii be little or no delay in securing all
the material necessary.
The trip of President McCune and
the Short Line officials has no special
significance except as a. general tour to
inspect the work, which it is presumed
will so steadily on, perhaps even more
speedily than heretofore.

School at Fort Douglas.

Hereafter the post is to have a school
for enlisted men, under the direction
of Chaplain Allen ATensworth. The
studies will include reading, writing,
arithmetic and geography, and one
hour day viii be devoted to each. The
school opens tomorrow. Chaplain Al
lensworth has had wide experience in
conducting similar organizations, and
will doubtless create an interest among
the men productive of much good. He
will, in the near future, add a course
in telegraphy to the daily schedule. A
room in the chapel has been fitted with
desks and other paraphernalia.
In addition to the school for enlisted
men, the captains Of the regiment will
begin the instruction of nOn-commis-
stoned officers in military tactics.

C. & O. Hearing.

Washington, Nov. 29.-In the hearing
today by the interstate commerce COM
mission of the charges of discrimina-
ton against the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad company, by c. G.. Blake, a
coal operator of Cincinnati, the COM
plainant's attorney called to the wit
ness stand Sol p Kinon of the Kinon
Coal company of Cincinnati, and Don
aid Mcdonald, the president of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Fuel company. The
former testified that although he had a
ten years contract with the railroad
company, guaranteeing him as good
rates as any other shipper, yet 20 cents
a ton was the best he could get. re
had asked for rates from the railroad
company in January, 1883, and was
told he would have to go TO the fuel
company to obtain his coal.
Mr. Mcdonald was questioned in de-
tail as to the operations of the fuel COM
pany, but he denied that it had any
connection with the railroad. Counsel
sought to obtain from witness some
definite statements regarding the man
ner in which the company had recouped
itself when handling coal at rates
which he Acknowledged were losing
ones, but the commission suggested
that enough had developed already to
justify the interference of an
swer which might be made to such
questions. On CROSSE examination, Nc
Donald declared he knew Of no discrim-
ination by the railroad against oDer-
ators in transportation facilities. The
hearing was then adjourned until to-
morroW'S session

After Coal Miners.

Alexander Spence, general travelling
coal agent for the Union Pacific, is in
the city, hiring men for the coal mines
at Rock Springs. The company is IN
able to secure enough men to mine the
coal in keeping with the demand, and
General Agent Moore said yesterday
the company is now 600 carloads behind
in its orders. The company is using
every bit of coal mined at Rock Springs
and, in addition, has been compelled to
buy coal from the Sweetwater COM
pany.
Owing to the demand for the product,
and shortage in miners, the shift has
been increased from ten hours to twelve
hours per day, and the mines are. now
being operated Sundays as well.
A good many people are being. secured
every day, and the conditions are i'm
proving. Officials are hopeful of soon
being able to catch up with the orders
on hand
