RAS COME ~ STAY.

The talk of Pres. Galloway Of
the New York Central Railway
was bull talk. He has the utmost
confidence in q continuance OF
prosperity. His road is to issue
SIS, O00,0 in new stock, to pro
vide adequate equipment for in-
creased business. Five thou
sand new cars are now beng de-
livered, and 100000 are to be
purchased, together with sc
coaches and 100 engines and
other rolling stock. This means
substantial business. The ap-
proach of q Presidential cam
paign does not give the railroad
men the least apprehension.
They are confident that prosper
ity will continue, that the pres
ent order will rot be disturbed.
Such a great increase in rail
road equipment speaks volumes
regarding the growth in bust.
ness in general. The effect OF
the political situation should be
direct and powerful. Working.
men, the rank and file of the
people, will certainly not take
the responsibility of voting
against an administration under
which the country has become so
prosperous.
The New York Central is not
the only big corporation which
is largely increasing the number
OF its cars and engines. There
has been a car famine in the
West for a long time. Car build
ers have been rushed to death,
and were unable to fill their ord.
ers. The situation means steady
work and good pay for the wage

Steunenberg Claims Responsibility
For Affairs In Occur d'Alenes.
ACQUITS THE GOVERNMENT
FEDERAL OFFICIALS HAD MOTH
ING TO DO WITH 1T.
Voluntarily Writes a Letter to secre-
tary of War Root Because of Crit
cisms Made-Why the Miners
Were Placed In Confinement In
the Stockades.

Columbus, O., Oct. 23.-Chairman
Dick of the Republican state commit
tee has received a copy of letter writ
ten by Governor Steunenberg of Idaho,
under date of Oct 10, to Secretary of
War Root, in which the governor as
sumes for the state full responsibility
for all that has been done in ShoShone
county in connection with the Occur
d'Alene mining troubles. The letter
was written voluntarily, it is said, by
the governor on account of the criti-
cism which has been made of the fed
eral government. Governor Steunen-
berg says:
while it is not necessary to inform
you of the relative positions of the state
of Idaho and the general government in
the matter, as this status is clearly de-
fined by statute, still it may be proper,
for purposes of general information. to
add that the state of Idaho is RESPONSE
Bile for all that has been done in Sho-
shone county relative to the call for
troops, the arrest, detention and care of
prisoners. the regulations under which
the mines can and have been operated
from the time of the instruction UP to
the present time, and the regulations of
all matters concerning the employment
of men in these mines, all of the above
matters having been under the lmmedl-
ate supervision, control and direction
of the officers and representatives of the
state of Idaho, and not in any way of
the federal troops. 1 further state that
the state of Idaho assumes and ac-
knowledges all responsibility for the
manner in which affairs are conducted
in the Occur d'AleneS so long as martial
law, as proclaimed, prevails.
cit should be stated here, however,
that these men (the prisoners) have not
been under arrest by reason of indsct-
ments upon the part of the state, but
because they were men who we could
not permit TO be at large under the
present condition of affairs in that sec
ton. The men who were held under
indictments found by the state grand
jury, and whom we desired to try, es-
capped prison a few days before the
regular term of court, at which time all
preparations had been made to try
them"

HELPED 0'REILLY ESCAPE.
Death of a Famous Catholic Priest in
Minnesota.

St. Paul, Mimi. Oct GA Waseca,
Mimi, special says: Rev. NJ. p. McCabe,
the well known Roman Catholic clergy
man, died Saturday evening of Brlght's
disease. at St. Mary's, a small mission
near Waseca.
Ills death recalls an exploit in which he
was Il conspicuous actor. 1t was Father
AicCabe who was instrumental in Eberat-
ing the political prisoner, John Boyle
O'Reilly, who afterwards became the not
ed mexican poet.
O'Reilly was detected propa eating Fe-
nianism in England. He was arrested and
sentenced TO penal servitude. 1t happened
that Father McCa.be was stationed at the
Australian prison as chaplain. To him
O Reilly confided his intention of making
his escape. The priest offered to aid him.
On a dark night in 1869 the two met by
appointment and the priest and the pris-
Oner exchanged clothes.
In this disguise O'Reilly departed in an
open boat without food or drink. After
three days of terrible exposure to the
peldls OF the sea, O'Reily was picked up
by an American whaler and carried to
Liverpool. Thence he made his way
quickly to the United States.
The priest reported TO the prison officials
that he had been waylaid by the convict,
who compelled him 10 make the exchange
of clothes When the truth leaked out,
later on, Father McCabe was obliged to
make a tasty departure from Australia
He came to this country and applied to
Bishop Ireland for a, charge in this dio-
cese about eighteen years ago. He has re-
manned in Minnesota ever since.

General Managers Dodge and

The initial step in the erection of the
promised union depot is to be taken
this evening, when representatives of
the two railroads directly concerned
Will petition the common council for
certain franchise privileges. In ac-

be presented in the name of d leading
official of each of the railroads. In
this instance it will be presented as
emanating from Colonel D. c. Dodge
of the Rio Grande Western and w. H.
Bancroft of the Oregon Short Line,
their heirs, successors or assigns.
The petitioners will pray the council
to grant them the right to lay railroad
tracks on one-half the width of Fourth
West street, between Second South and
Fourth South streets. To 90 this the
council viii be under the necessity of
condemning and closing the eastern
half of Fourth West street for dis
lance of two blocks. 1t is believed that
there will be no opposition to the
granting of this portion of the petition
as the remaining half of the street is
sufficiently wide enough for traffic and
other purposes, and the ground is abb
Solutely essential for trackage pur-
poses
Undoubtedly the projectors of the

side of that section Of Fourth West

to condemn The presence of the

their influence with the council to pre-

business purposes, and it is possible
that the owners will take that view

In addition to the condeTnning of one
half of Fourth West street. the petit
TONERS will request the council to close
Third South street at the point where
it crosses the east side of Fourth West,
so that the station can be erected at

this is granted. the council will be
asked to condemn a strip of land mid
way between Third and Fourth West
streets, extending from Second South to
Fourth South. This strip will be made
into a street to give access to the west
side of the city from the carviageway
of the station.

WORLDS WOOL PRODUCT.
Paper On the Subject Read Before
Commercial Congress.

Philadelphia, Oct. 23.-Herbert Gibson,
representative of the government of the
Argentine Republic, read a paper on the
worlds wool product and Argentine's con-
1ribution thereto before the International
Commercial congress today. He gave sta
Tistics showing that three districts where
the production of wool is in excess of To-
cal requirements, Australasia, South Am
erica and the River Platte. republics of
Argentine and Uruguay, there was an ap-
palling decrease in the sheep stock in the
two first named regions.
In Argentine and uruguay, he said
there is TO be found the sole exception to
Ihe general decrease in sheep throughout
the world. The sheep stock of Argentine
IS now approximately 100000, and of
Uruguay 100000 an increase for the two
countries since 1890 of more than 10000
COO
In concluding his address, Mr. Gibson
said that in order to create a regular sup
ply of Argentine raw woods for the manu-
facture Of the United States, there are
three things of capital importance. First
the presence Of agents or Representatives
of manufacturers in the wool market of
BuenoS Ayres. Second, the establishment
of direct steam communication between
the countries. Third, the direct baronial
relations.
