would simplify the difficulties Of the

Thereupon VI. Casimir Perier con-
suited with the President, who pointed
out to him that he would be able to
exercise more authority than any one
else over the generals in destroying
the germs of imitation. NJ. Casimir
Perier replied he had definitely with
drawn from politics but nevertheless
would undertake to consider the mat

NJ. Waldcck- Rousseau was notified
erty to constitute cabinet of Repub-

The question now is whether he will
go so far as to include a Socialist in

prevail.

dent of the Senate, informed NJ. Lou

seemed opposed to the inclusion of NJ |
MilIerand. the Radical So

1t is understood. that if NJ. Waldeck-
Rousseau fails. the President will
again summon NJ. Poincare. whom he
has asked to remain in Paris at his

FEAR ENTERTAINED
Of a Leak in the Immense
Portland Reservoir.
Occupants of Nearby Houses Move
Till Danger Is Past.
Water Will Be Drawn OF and Thorough ex.
animation Made.

Portland, Me, June 1S.-The Portland
Water Cos. immense reservoir on Nun
JOY hill, at the eastern end of the city
is the cause of grave apprehension on
the part of the residents in the neigh
borhood.
For some days excavation in the side
of the hill quite a distance from the
reservoir has been going on, the site
being intended for electric car sheds.
Saturday, a small stream OF water
oozed out of the embankment and it is
feared that it comes from a leak in the
recervoir.
The stream, while somewhat increas-
ed in size, tonight, has not attained
proportions to cause serious alarm. but
occupants Of houses nearby have tenn
porarily moved out.
The feed pipes have been shut off
and the water will be drawn and a

THE I'd DISTRICT CAMPAIGN
Quietly Closes With Handsome Majority Con
coded 20 Hon. C. 6. LiitIefeId.

Rockland, Me, June 1S-The cam
pagn preceding the election in the I'd
Congressional district closed, last
night, but has been so quietly conduct
ed by both parties that it has caused
hardly a ripple of excitement in the
six counties.
The Democrats in this section have
been doing little or no work save in
few of the larger towns, being mostly
content to let the Knox county candi-
date Charles Z. Littlefield, have good
sized majority so long as it is taken for
granted that he will be elected.
Chairman Miller thinks that Mr.. Lit
tlefield's majority in Knox county may
reach 1900, which would be a very large
one, seeing that the Republicans have
only recently come into supremacy
here.
Monday night, the election of Mr.. Lit
tlefield will be celebrated in some APP
propriate manner, the adjoining towns
participating.

SUPREME COURT Opinions
DECREE MODIFIED IN KIMBALL
APPELLANT, VS.. SALISBURY.
Case Governed By the Homestead
Law-An Affirmation In Maggie
Smith Houser VS.. Charles Smith.

Two opinions were yesterday hanoeo
down by the state supreme court LII
the case of J. Golden Kimball and Jen-
ME S. Kimball, appellants, VS.. 0. j. SAL
isbury and T. P. Lewis, eX-sherin OF
Salt Lake county, the opinion, which
modified the decree of the trial court,
was written by Justice Baskin and con-
Cured in by Justice Miner, While Chlef
Justice Bartch dissented.
The action was brought to quiet tltle
to three pieces of real estate claimed by
the lSimballs as their homestead.
The defendant Salisbury obtained a
Judgment against z. 7. Stewart and
Elias s. Kimball. Execution was IS
sued and the sheriff sold two OF the
parcels, and the third was being ad-
vertised for sale when the suit was De-
gun.
In the opinion two points are dis
cussed: Did the premises sold consul
tute any part of the homestead, and II
they did, was the right of homestead
waived by a failure TO claim the same
previous to the sale?
The first point is decided in the al
firmative, and the second in the nesIa-
tive.
The decree is therefore modified so as
to include the first and second pieces OF
real estate on the homestead of the APP
pellants, and to declare the sale OF said
real estate void, and to quiet title of the
appellants to the same.

Laramie, Wyo, March 27.-Tnat the
Union Pacific company INTENDS to con-
struct several cut-offs west Of Laramie
this spring there can now be no doubt,
Notwithstanding the denial of President
Burt, however, The contracts have been
let to Messrs. Fitzpatrick Broc. d Col
Inns, and their agents are now here
making the preliminary arrangements
for commencing work shortly after the
LIST of April
The first cutoff begins west Of the
bridge over the Laramie river, five
miles from here, where the railroad
leaves the river bottom and begins to
climb the divide, which separates the
valley of the Big Laramie from that Of
the Little Laramie. 1T is on these up
lands that the heavy grades and sharp
curves are encountered, which not only
are reduced, but the line distance by
the old route is Strengthened and short
ened. The old line is eighteen and four
tenths miles long, whereas the new
line viii be only fifteen and three
tenths miles.
On this cutoff not only will distance
be saved, but in curvature and rise and
fall there is great saving. Over 20C
feet rise and fall and 294 degrees OF cur
Nature are avoided. The naw grade is
Laramie river almost all of he way
crossing a number OF valuable ranches
the owners of which will be Identified
by the Union Pacific.
The second cutoff begins at a point
west of Lookout and nearly forty miles
from Laramie. The cutoff leaves the
old line at a place known as the
Horseshoe curve" and goes in a north
and northeasterly direction through a
large valley on the plains. 4 heavy
and long rock cut is encountered north
of Lookout. This cut Is forty feet deep
and 1000 feet long, and is a very eX-
pensive piece of work. Tie cutoff
comes back to the main line a. Medi
cine Bow station. The distance over
this route is twenty-three and nine
tenths miles, while over the old line it
is thirty-five and nine-tenths miles
saving of twelve miles This line cuts
out Wilcox hill, which is a very heavy
grade. The cost of these two lines is
roughly estimated at 81, 100000, and calls
for the removal of upwards Of 100000
cubic yards of dirt and rock.
The grading contracts call for the
completion of the work 10y Oct. 10, and
the work of laying the rails and bal
lasting the roadbed will follow as rap
idly as possible, so that the new line
will be in use for traffic by Dec. !
next.
In addition to these two cut-affs there
are several more in contemplation. The
first of these is from Allen Junction, six
miles west of Medicine Bow, through
the mining town of Hanna to Percy, a
distance of about thirty-five niles and
avoiding the heavy grades ca Simpson
hill. as well as saving several miles in
distance. This cutoff will leave Car
bon off the main line. but it will prob
ably be two years before the new line
is huilt

NAVAL PROMOTIONS.
Sampson and schley Rear Adnirals
Under the New Law.


Washington, March 2S-The naval
board of promotion, consisting of Rear
Admirals McNair, Howell and Howison,
completed its work today and submit
ted its report. The board was convened
to determine the qualifications of those
officers recently advanced to the rank
of rear admiral under the terms of
the naval personnel bill. The report
passes favorably on all the officers ap-
pointed so that all questions of their
advancement is removed.
The list is as follows: Rear .admirals
George c. Remey, Norman H. Farqu-
har, John C. Watson, Henry r. Rob-
son, Winfield S. Schley, Silas Casey,
William T. Sampson, Bartlett j. Crom-
well, John w. Philip, Francis j. Hig
ginson, Henry F. Picking, Frederick
Rodgers Louis Kempff, George w.
Sumner
In addition to these, favorable action
was taken on Captain Benjamin F.
Day, whose formal promotion to the
rank of rear admiral by appointment
of the president, has not yet been made.
The retirement today of Rear Admiral
Robson caused a vacancy which makes
Captain Day a rear admiral.
The report of the board is now to be
approved by the judge advocate general
and by the secretary of the navy,
which, however, is merely a formality.
1t was stated authoritatively that it did
not contain a word regarding the re-
spective merits of Rear Admiral Schley
or Rear Admiral Sampson. The adj
journment of the board summarily dis
posed of the published report that it
had called on Rear Admiral Sampson
for a fuller report ON those commo-
dores serving under him during the
war with Spain in order to determine
questions of promotion. An authorita-
tive statement was made that no re-
quests of this kind had been made and
no responses received as the board had
ample information on which to base it's
conclusions.
