NEWS OF THE RAILROADS
PLANS FOR REMoDELING THE
UNION DEPOT APPROVED
hind an Addition, Which Will Ex-
tend Nearly to Sibley Street
Train Shed to He Enlarged-B. &
o. Cuts Into the Passenger Rate
War;

The special meeting of the Union
Depot company, called for the purpose
of opening bids and awarding the con-
tracts for the improving and remodel
ing Of the union depot, was held yes
terday morning in the offices Of the
company in the depot building.
The plans for the work that is to he
done were submitted by Architect
Frost and were approved. The plans
call for the removing of the row of
rooms on the outside of the main build
ing and to the north and the laying Of
an additional track there. The main
building will also be extended almost
to Sibley street, corresponding in
height to the present structure.
The bids were opened and the con-
tract for the altering of the train shed
to provide for the additional track was
awarded to the Milwaukee Bridge COM
pany at the contract price of Sits
The bids for the remainder of the work
were varied in character, and it was
found impossible to hastily determine
which should be accepted. After some
little discussion the matter. was re-
ferred to President Scott and Architect
Frost with instructions to thoroughly
investigate all the bids, and President
Scott was given authority to award the
contract. The cost of the work under
the contract yet to be awarded will be
about $55, 600.
The company authorized the issue of
100000 worth of bonds and the pro-.
ceeds realized from the sale of these
bonds will be used iii paying for the
improvements that are to be made.
1t was also decided to improve the
ventilating dome of the train shed, and
this will make necessary the expendi-
ture of an additional sum of money, as
the work was not contemplated when
the bids were asked for and was not
| included.
President Scott. and Architect Frost
were busily engaged all yesterday af-
ternoon in going over the bids referred
to them. Mr.. Scott said that it would
probably take them the greater part
of today to determine the award of the
contract.

HORSES RISING IN PRICE.
Montana Range Animals Are in a

Montana Range Animals Are in a
Healthy Demand.
Division Freight Agent Robert Ran
tout. of the Northern Pacific, has re-
turned from an extended trip over the
Montana lines of the road. While in
Montana Mr. RantouI spent some little
time investigating the horse market
there. He says that the conditions are
improving slightly and that there is
an increased demand for horses and a.
corresponding increase in the price
Mr.. Rantoul was asked if this could
be attributed to the demand for cavalry
horses by the government on account
of the war. He said that he was in
cl1ned to think. that the war was not
responsible for the changed conditions,
but that 1t was due to the settling up
of the country in Montana and adj
Joining states. Many settlers are aware
OF the abundance of horses in that
country and recently have not taken
animals with them, but have purchas-
ed after their arrival. Mr. Rantoul
says that the government rercently pur-
chased Montana horses for three
troops of Montana cavalry. but that
this made hardly an impression on the
supply.
Mr.. Rantou1 says that the general
conditions in Montana have not been
better in ten years. Rain has been
plenty and the outlook is very bright.
A good deal of the land that has been
almost barren in covered with a fine
growth of grass this summer.

Bradstreefs Review of the Weeks
Stock Market.

Bradstreet's Review of the Weeks
Stock Market.
NEW YORK, June 10.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
More or less irregularity has been
shown in the movement of the market
this week. War and war news has
been less Of factor, but while the
tone of speculation has been generally
strong, there has been evidence of real
iZing in groups of stock which led the
recent advance, while fresh ones have
come into prominence and displayed
strength The bond markets activity
has reflected the renewed presence Of
investors. Governments have declined
a little in consequence of the passage
of the war revenue bill by the senate,
with a bond clause, and the certainty
thus created that the government
would soon bring out a new issue. On
the other hand the railroad bond list
has been active and advancing, the
scarcity of and higher prices for gilt
edge securities creating a demand for
the second and even third grade Of rail-
road mortgages. London has both
bought and sold American stocks,
though there still appears to be lack
of public interest in our securities
abroad, and the advances in the Lon
don quotations for them for several
days are ascribed to purchasing orders

Day. -..,,,.---.
Herr Frank Heimreich, of Leipzig,
Germany, was guest at the Ryan
hotel yesterday. 1.-The German people,"
porter yesterday, ARE very much in
terested in the outcome of the Spanish
American war. The military men es-
pecially are watching the movements
of both nations with expectancy. The
campaign on the seas will do much to
establish the relative powers of the two
nations, and will necessarily prove an
object lesson to all nations in naval
warfare.
During the last decade the European
nations have been spending a great deal
of energy and means in perfecting their
navies, but for years there has been
no great battle between the armored
ships of the world. The present war
will determine just what the big de-
stroyers can do on the seas. The many
departures adopted within the last ten
years will be submitted to a crucial
test, which will in a measure influence
the future policy of the nations in ship
building and the requirement of naval
accoutrement.
Interest is not alone centered upon
navy both have been cracked up and
only time will tell which is the su-
perior. There is one thing about the
Spanish troops, that is that they will
stand their ground and be shot down,
but whether they will fight with a cor
responding spirit is a question The
American troops on the contrary are
impetuous and fight with a vim which
characterizes only the Yankees The
ho n t.
be one, will absorb the attention of all
