MORE IMPROVEMENTS - MIS-
CELLANEOUS RAILROAD NEWS.

The Baltimore & Ohio Company hold
the medal for having the greatest num-
Der of tunnels and bridges on one di-
vision of railroad in this section OF the
country. The Parkersburg branch OF
this road is the division which holds
this record, for there are just thirty
two tunnels and fifty-four bridges be-
tween Grafton and Parkersburg, ia
distance of 104 miles. The majority
of the tunnels are very short ones, ana,
in fact, the only really long one IS
near Clarksburg. This tunnel is about
the same size as the one at Board
Tree on the same roads fourth dl-
vision, it being less than half mile.
All the above tunnels have been placed
in first class condition and no trouble
at all arises from them. In regard to
the bridges, several have been ordered
to be replaced by new ones. A bridge
company of Ohio has the contract for
three and have force of men working
on the line now. In speaking OF tun-
nels the B. & O. has several quite large
ones at different places along their
route. At Baltimore the one called MT.
Royal is fully a mile long. At King
wood there is another one nearly as
long, while the ones at Sand Patch,
Pa, Washington, Pa, Clarksburg and
Board Tree w. Va, follow close after.

places night and day, and no trouble

HAWAIIAN BILL
Completed by the subcommittee of the
House Committee on Territories.

Completed by the subcommittee of the
House Committee on Territories.
Washington, d. c., January 10.-The
Hawaiian bill was finally presented to-
day by the House subcommittee on
territories and an agreement reached
to favorably present it to the full COM
mittee tomorrow, the expectation be-
ing that it will be reported to the pub
lie tomorrow or within few days.
AS agreed on the bill preserves in all
essential particulars the bill presented
by the Hawaiian commission. A ter
ritorial form of government is estab-
lished, with a governor appointed by
the President, a delegate elected to
Congress, and a local legislative body.
The main changes made by the sub
committee consist in striking out the
property qualifications of members of
the House of Representatives and Of
electors of members and amending the
provisions as to the qualification of
Senators so that $1,000 of property or
$500 of income shall suffice. The item
of $4,000 for an agricultural inquiry
by the Secretary of Agriculture is also
struck out. The provision is retained
for the, appointment of judges for life
and their appointment by the governor.
This provision has caused much dis
cussion and it will be one of the points
of minority report.
