dangerous than a shotgun loaded
with birdshot, and making turn
in the trail he came face to face
with a big black bear and her two
cubs, and then all records made
heretofore sink into insignificance.
The first fifty yards were made
running and the last fifty were
made in a sitting posture sliding,
but they were made burriedly, and
Mr.. Campbell got there and went
under the wire far in the lead of
the bear. He then got his trusty
rifle and Messrs. Schwartz and PEI
ley and they returned and slaugh-
tered that bear in good shape.
In speaking of the new Weiser
road Mr.. Campbell said: "They
have now ceased cutting railroad
ties and are laying track entirely
and are pushing the roadbed to
rapid completion. A contract has
been let to II man who has installed
a sawmill on the Weiser river to
cut all future ties. They are now
using the road for forty miles out
of Weiser coming this way, and
are completing the roadbed and
laying ties above Council, which
is about sixty miles from Weiser.
Schwartz and Pefey remained at
Weiser and l was recalled to at
tend to some matters at my ranch
at Lewiston.
There was a sad death of u Mr..
Snyder, whose official position was
that of chief surveyor for the rail-
road in course of construction. He
went out after elk, and not return
ing a party left to hunt for him.
They followed his trail and found
him lying on his side with his
hand over his heart. He unques-
tionably died from heart failure.
Everybody in or near the vicin-
ity of the railroad feels very happy
over the rapid construction Of the
new road, and the coal mines at
Rapid river are being developed
rapidly with paying results. 1t is
anticipated that the new road will
build spur in there. The product
of these coal mines proves, in ad-
dition to it's other attributes, to be
an excellent coke coal, and this
will be advantageous in the smelt-
ers which will be erected in the
near future in the Seven Devils to
handle the copper ore, which is
very plentiful in that section. In
conclusion would say that the
trail between Grangeville and Sal
mon Meadows is in splendid con-
dition and l made the trip handi.

HARRISBURG.

On Tuesday Attorney General Elkin
granted the petition Of the Municipal
league of Philadelphia that suggestion
be filed in the Dauphin county court for
q writ of mandamus against Secretary of
the Commonwealth Griest to compel
the publication Of certain proposed
amendments to the Constitution passed
at the recent session of the legislature
and vetoed by Gov. Stone.
Mr. Elkin rendered a long opinion, Civ
ing his reasons for allowing the sugges-
tion. After citing the fact that Cows.
Ritner, Bigler. Geary, Hartranft, and
Pattison had exercised the right to ap-
prove or veto resolutions to amend the
Constitution and much other matter
bearing on the subject the attorney gen
eral says:
From all the precedents and anthori-
ties herein before referred to it clearly
appears that there is diversity OF opin-
ion and practice on this question.
This being the case it is only proper
rhat it should he finally determined in
the courts and for this purpose the at
torney general is entirely willing that
proper proceeding shall be instituted"

The One Great Thing at The
Hague.

The Conference has gone through the
form of considering measures supposed
to promote the cause of universal peace.
The decorous, harmless ceremony has
come to conclusion.
The dream of the young Emperor who
called the nations together has not been
realized The hopes of Bertha Won Suit
ner and the enthusiasts of her school
have been disappointed.
The military system Of the world is
intact. Not only is there no step to-
ward disarmament. there IS also no set
back to further armament.
Arbitration has gained nothing OF any
consequence. War upon ordinary PROV
ocation is as likely to occur in any given
instance as il the delegates to the Peace
Conference had never assembled.
The gracious phrases and conventional
expressions of congratulation which
mark the dissolution of the Conference
cover but do not conceal these facts.
Was it then waste of time and effort,
so far az the participation of this coun-
try is concerned Z
BY no means. The representatives OF
the United States have left upon the
record one solid, immutable fact OF
prime importance to us and to all the
world; and it was worth their while to
go to The Hague if only to register this
declaration:
Nothing contained in this conven-
tion shall be 80 construed as to require
the United States to depart from its
traditional policy of not entering upon,
interfering with, or entangling itself IN
the political questions or internal ad
ministration Of any foreign State. Nor
shall anything in said convention be
construed 20 require the REIMBURSEMENT
by the United States of its traditional
attitude toward purely American ques-
tions."
Expansion proceeds, but the Monroe
Doctrine stands The Conference at
The Hague was a convenient occasion
for the formal reaffirmation of American
policy respecting European interference
In the affairs of the Western Continent.

Another Railroad.

(From the Beaver Times of last week.
1t now seems to be an assured fact
that within the next six or eight
months Rochester will become the
southern terminal Of a new railroad
which will extend In north easterly
direction, and connect with the Pitts
burg & Western Railroad at Gallery
Junction, distance OF about sixteen
miles.
The new railroad company was incor-
porated more than q year ago under the
name Of the Ohio River Junction Rail

any definite steps toward the building
of railroad oyer the proposed route,
would ever be taken by this company.
but that they had only secured the
right Of way for the purpose of speculat-
ing.
A preliminary survey of the proposed
route was made soon after the company
had secured its charter, by a corps OF
men under Engineer Jas. p. Leaf, of
Rochester. That finished, no important
action on the part Of the company, has
been discernable until within the last
few months, during which final
survey of the route has been in progress
under Engineer Leaf.

with the company, and who is. there.

speaks, stated to Times reporter TO-
day that the new railroad was an assur
cd fact. He said that the final survey
would be completed sometime next
week, and that the road would be bull
during the coming fall and winter.
The gentleman gave general outline
Of the route. 1t will run from Roches
ter to Crows Run, at point near the
Ohio river, up the run to it's head
across TO connect with the p. & w
This road when completed, will be o
inestimable value to the business ant

factures Of that locality competing

Its ultimate result will undoubtedly
be q lower and more satisfactory freigh
