IN RAILROAD CIRCLES.
What Is Being Done on the Pro-
jeCted Railroads.

Railroad work continues in Red
wood and Renville counties with
little new developments. The
Northwestern has the line from
Burt, Iowa, to Sanborn, so far as
grading, bridging and laying of
track is concerned, and is now en-
gagged in putting on the finishing
touches before running cars on the
line. North of Sanborn the grading
is practically all finished, with the
exception of the strip from Vail to
Vesta. A mile west of Sanborn,
where the road leaves the North
western tracks, the company has
constructed a Y, and GAZETTE re-
porter observed last Saturday that
the Y was filled with cars loaded
with ties. Only few men were
employed there, however, and they
appeared to be getting things ready
for the construction crew. Down
in the Sanborn yards there ap-
peared to be enough steel rails to
track the line from Sanborn to
Vesta. Nothing could be learned,
however, as to when the company
proposed to run it's construction
crew on this branch and commence
the work of track-laying. Those
who should know replied that the
work would begin at once.
The fact that the company has not
vet advertised town lot sales in any
of the proposed towns or that no
plats have been filed with the regis
ter of deeds, would indicate that the
company itself does not know Just
when it will throw the line open for
business.
1t was reported by good authority
at Lamberton last Saturday that the
company had practically abandoned
the intention Of having a townsite
on the southeast quarter of section
19, Willow Lake, purchased of Mr..
Eichten for a townsite, for the
reason that the site was too low.
and would require too much grad
ing. This being the case another
tract near this quarter will be
bought by the company.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The fail

Congress. It is understood that in con-

expressed his views in substance as
follows:
He expected that Congress would re-

the future peace and honor of the
country by most liberal treatment of
the navy and army. This seemed more
reasonable because of the example of
Spanish folly. The navy of that coun-
try was fraudulent, and it's army was

Anhui, Kiangsu, Human and Hupeh
have combined their forces and are

which 4700 rebels are known to have
been slain. Hundreds of Chinese troops
were killed The rebels were literally

and magazine rifles with which several

Washington, March g.
George Dewey, admiral of the United
States navy, takes rank now as the
highest naval officer in the world. His
nomination was sent to the Senate to-
day by President Mckinley and was
at once confirmed.
Along with the nomination of Dewey
went that of Elwen s. Otis as brevet
major general in the regular army.
Secretary Long sent the following to
Admiral Dewey Immediately after be-
ing notified of the confirmation:
President sends his congratulations on
your confirmation. LONG.
With respect to Rear Admirals Samp-
son and Schley, it looks as if the nom
ination of neither of these officers for
advancement for heroic conduct in bat
tie will be confirmed, but the Senate to-
night confirmed their nominations as
rear admirals in accordance with nom
nations submitted to-day under the
provisions of the naval personnel law.
This means that Rear Admiral Schley
will remain two numbers above Rear
Admiral Sampson, much to the delight
of the friends of the Maryland officer as
we'll as those of Commodore Watson.
Commodore Watson was senior to both
Sampson and Schley before the war,
and will remain so, provided their nom
nations for heroic conduct in battle
are not confirmed.
The failure to confirm Rear Admiral
Cchley for his work at Santiago will
be deeply regretted by his friends. as
he will suffer the loss of six numbers
and the difference between a brigadier
generals and a major generals pay,
but there is such a strong current Of
feeling against Rear Admiral Sampson
Jumping" him that his friends would
prefer to see all nominations for heroic
service go over until the next session
rather than permit the confirmation Of
nominations which would place Samp-
son above Schiey.
Friends Of Constructor Hobson are
very much dissatisfied with President
McKinley's so-called promotion Of the
young naval officer. They say he de-
served something better for the extra
ordinary heroism which he displayed at
Santiago.
Some time ago, when 1t was proposed
to promote Hobson in the staff, his un-
Gle, Richmond Pearson, a member Of
Congress from North Carolina, re-
quested Secretary Long to defer this

SHOULD BE TRIED
BY A CIVIL COURT

PARIS, March 3.-The criminal section
of the Court of Cessation, rendering judg-
ment. finds that Colonel Pcquart and NJ.
Leblois. a lawyer, should be tried by a
civil court for the alleged forgery with
which they were charged and for using
the forgery and divulging matter con-
tained in secret documents in the Dreyfus
case.
Relative to Picquart. the court finds
that the alleged Illegally in communi-
eating to NJ. Leblois War Office docu-
ments was not connected with the above
charge and that therefore the court-mar-
tial retains it's jurisdiction.
The united sections of the Court of Cas-
sation will begin the hearing of the Drey-
fus case tomorrow, in conformity with
the new trial revision law.
AS a result of the judgment, the mill
tary authorities will transfer Colonel Pic
quart to the civil authorities.

Secretary Long consented, Congress

was referred to the Committee on Naval
Affairs. It slumbers there now, for

committee opposed the bill for reasons
best known to himself. 1t is intimated,
however, that certain Naval Bureau
chiefs, jealous of Hobson's popularity,
were instrumental in having Pearson's
bill pigeon -holed. Representative Pear
son became i'll and was not able to bring
the matter to the attention of Con-
gress.
Then, as the session neared it's close
without prospect of Hobson's transfer
to the line, Secretary Long concluded
to promote him in the list of naval
constructors. This was all he could do
without special authority from Con-
gress. He might, however. have ad-
vanced Hobson fifteen numbers as we'll
as not This would have put him next
to the Chief Constructor, Hichborn.
Instead of that, he was only advanced
from the list of assistant constructors.
where he stood number one. head of
the list. and made number eight in the
regular list of constructors. Their Or
der will now be as follows: Hichborn
Varney, Hanscom, Feaster Bowles,

can head the list.
