RAILWAY RUMORS.
Of the Expiration of the Lease of
the Browns Valley.

1t is a we'll known fact that the
BrownsValleyline is not owned by the
Great Northern, but is operated
under lease, from the Northern Paci-
fc the owner. Rumor has it thst this
lease will expire this summer and that
the little stub to the west will be
operated as part of the Northern
Pacific rather than as a part OF the
Great Northern.
Steel rails are being lBid on the
Browns Valley line to replace the
rattle-clattle iron ones which are now
there, and rumor says that as soon as
this work is completed the Northern
Pacific will again assume control OF
the line
The principal cause which operates
against this transfer is the long run
which would be necessary for the
Northern Pacific crew from Brainerd
through to Browns Valley. Yet busi-
ness is increasing at Choklo and
other towns along the line SO rapidly
that an independent crew for the
Browns Valley would seem to be
necessary.
Part of the connection between the
Northern Pacific and Browns Valley
at present is over stretch Of the
Great Northern. To obviate using
this peice of track it would be necess-
ary for the Northern Pacific to build
a cut off from near the water tank,
past the Indian school to the Browns
Valley. This il is rumored, will be
done.
1t has been impossible for us to
learn how much truth there is Ia
these rumors for railroads keep their
own secrets. However we give them
for what they are worth.
At any rate better service between
the Browns Valley and the Northern
Pacific will be highly appreciated by
the people on both lines.

MAY BE TRIED FOR TREASON.

Evidence Which Goes to Show That
Americans Aid Filipinos.
Manila, Dec. 19.-Letter have been
captured from the Filipinos which in
dictate that the insurgent government
has received active and material sup
port from many prominent anti-expan-
sionists in the United States. General
Otis is expected to send these letters
to the president, with the request that
they be used as evidence in treason
cases against the American friends of
the insurgents.
Among other important papers capt
ured from the insurgent government,
1t is said, are some letters from the
junta in Hong Kong which give a
complete outline Of plan by which
the insurgents were to obtain arms
from the Americans which were to DO
used to fight them with afterward.
This scheme was to have been put into
execution before the Americans capt
ured Manila, and it shows that the
Filipinos were even at that early date
preparing for struggle with the
Americans, although at that time they
professed to be on the most friendly
terms

miral Dewey had frequently met the
