Volunteers rlay Return.

Washington, March 2.-The secre-
tsry of war has just ordered rein
forcement Of Otis by six regiments.
These are the 9Th infantry. now at
San Antonio; 9Th artillery, scattered
along the Atlantic coast stations;
9th infantry at Madison Barracks;
18th infantry. New York state; 2lst
infantry, Plattsburgh, New York;
and 9Th infantry at Fort Crook and
neighboring posts in the middle west.
These regiments have been ordered
to make ready to proceed to San
Francisco and thence to Manila.
In ans wer to a direct question az
to whether or not these regular
troops are intended to relieve q
corresponding number OF volunteer
soldiers at Manila, it was said at the
war department. while this probably
would be the case, it was not pos
sible yet to make a positive state
ment. This means that, II when the
reinforcements arrive at Manila the
conditions are satisfactory, the
volunteers will be brought home
but II Otis shall have need OF all o.
the combined force, then they must
wait.

Secretary Of War Alger, from Gen.
Otis In answer to Secretary Alger 4

number Of American prisoners held
by the insurgents:
Manila, March3.-Secretary OF War,

January, who, without permission
went among them near Cavite and
Caloocan. am looking after them

"This nroipct and its realization ia

"This project and its realization is
not assured at the present time; 1t
merely exists in the minds Of several
citizens of Great Falls, who are CIV
ing the matter careful thought and
now believe that they See the way
clear to make a start In 1t. There ia
and has been in this city for several
years a considerable amount OF idle
capital, and 1t is constantly increas-
ing. AS a consequence the rate Of in
terest paid by local banks on time de-
posits has decreased nearly, II not
quite, so per cent in the past six or
seven years. This capital would nat
urally seek more remunerative en-
plOyment provided there was an
equal assurance of safety, and the
promoters of the railway scheme be-
lieve they can supply just that want.
Should they be able to do so there
are several hundred thousands OF
dollars lying idle which could be put
into the railway and the ultimate re-
suit would be the enrichment not
only OF the investors, but of every in
dividual in the counties concerned.
at may be said that the plan has
proceeded SO far that the promoters
are considering the matter of apply
ing for a state charter for their road
and that they have also obtained the
informal permission of the Burling-
ton to use that roads plated and re-
corded right OF way and survey.
This, OF course, reduces the expense
OF building in material degree and
the company will OF may proceed at
once to the grading along the line
and on the estimates furnished by the
Burlington. Further than this moth
ing can be said with any degree OF
definiteness.
"While the plan may never be con-
summated-it Is still largely a matter
OF paper and thought-there can be
no doubt OF its feasibility and OF the
benefit which 1t would confer upon
all concerned. Without competitive
railway connections no inland town
can ever become Of considerable size,
no matter what its natural advant-
ages may be, and Great Falls lies in
this class and falls under this rule.
No reasonable person can say that
the plan is not possible. Here is the
money with which to build, In part,
II not wholly, through a country OF
easy grades; the tributary towns
and their neighbors would from the
beginning supply enough freight and
enough passenger traffic to guaran.
tee a profit on the investment; the
stimulus afforded by railway connec-
ton would produce growth in the
country which would each year aug.
ment that profit; the one thing which
has been lacking through all these
years and which now seems to have
been supplied is the enterprise to go
ahead and reap the reward"

MORE RAIL-

Idle Capital in Great Falls Seeks

A Line From Great Falls to Lewis
town the Latest Product Of
Fertile Brains.

Reporters for the papers at Great
Falls, Billings, White SulphurSprings
and other Montana points seem to be
putting In time" these days in fore
casting railroad building in central
Montana, and Lewistown seems to
be always the objective point. The
latest is from the Anaconda Stand
ards Great Falls correspondent, who
in the issue Of March says:
''There Is now scheme on foot In
this city to build a railway along the
line OF the Burlington survey from
Great Falls to LewistOwn. Ever
since the completion OF the Burling-
ton to Billings and the making of
three surveys up through the Judith
Basin to Lewistown and thence to
Great Falls, the people OF Cascade
and Fergus counties have been living
In the hope that the road would con-
tinue to Great Falls, tapping the
principal towns Of great agricul-
tural and mining country and afford
ing another outlet to the wool, cat
tie, ore, coal and other products of
central and northern Montana. Up
TO the present time nothing has been
done to make the Burlington any
thing more than mere lines on pa
per map, and the people are discover
ing their hopes to be but dust and
ashes to their lips. Having given up
any hope of the Burlington, they are
now accepting substitute in the
form of a line built by local capital
from this city to Lewistown, the
idea being to connect the two towns
more closely than ever before, partic.

REVIEW OF LEGISLATION.
Many Important Measures Rushed
Through Congress In the
Last Hours.

Washington, March 4.-Several i'm
portant bills of general legislation
pending when the review Of the legis-
lation Of the past congress was made
by the Associated press week ago
have become laws since that sum-
mary was published. The most I'm
portant of these are the army re-
organization bill; the navy personnel
bill; the bill providing code Of laws
for Alaska; the omnibus claims bill,
and numerous important public
building bills. The project for the
construction Of a canal across the
lsthmus at Nicaragua made progress
to the extent that IA provision was
attached to the river and harbor ap-
preparation, providing for a very
complete inquiry into the matter.
The addition OF a provision to the
army appropriation bill forbidding
the granting Of property franchises
In Cuba was also an important legis-
lative act. Among the important
projects which failed to receive favor
able attention In the closing days
were those providing Pacific cable,
for government armor plate plant,
for an anti-scalping law, for an eight
hour law and government for
Hawaii. The navy personnel bill
completely reorganizes the navy and
is the consummation OF years Of
earnest effort by the navy depart
ment. The original army bill was
intended to meet the same want for
the army supplied to the navy by the

COMING CONSULTATIONS
THE BIG FOUR AND THE CHESA
PEAKE & OHIO IN THE SCHEMES.
No Time Guarantees for the Move
ment of FreiSht-Large Earnings
of the Big Four and Panhandle.

The rumor has been revived that the Big
10 be consolidated. An official Of the Big
Four. in speaking of the matter yesterday,
said that while 1t would be a very natural
consolidation of interests. he did not think
that at present such a move would be made.
However, should the common stock of the
Big Four. as has that of the Chesapeake
& Ohio, begin TO earn dividends, a basis OF
exchange OF stock could readily be arranged.
The two roads are now operated. so far as
the traffic alliance is concerned. about as
closely as they would be were the two in
terests consolidated. So closely are the
Baltimore e. Ohio and the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern allied that doubtless 1t will
terminate in a consolidation OF the two in
~terests. This done. IT would be practicable
for the Big Four and the Chesapeake &
Ohio TO also consolidate. In former years
the relation between the Big Four and the
Baltimore & Ohio was such that the latter
was its principal Eastern outlet, but witt
the opening of the Newport News route a
considerable portion of the business that
had before gone TO the Baltimore & Ohio
was turned over to the Chesapeake & Ohio.
Still. the Central States Dispatch, which Is
a Baltimore & Ohio fast freight line, OBJ
tains a large tonnage, both east and west
bound, for points on the Big Four system,
even taking a good deal of business from
Chicago.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
A Very Satisfactory Trade in Prog

ress, with Prices Strong.
on the wholesale streets yesterday the side
walks gave evidence that the merchants were
very busy. The rush seemed not to be confined
to any one line Of trade, as far into the after
noon draymen were very busy delivering goods to
the city freight depots. Inquiry OF the dry goods
men. druggists. leather dealers, grocers. hard
ware and iron merchants showed they were never

other lines strong prices on nearly every article

Will Get No Guarantee.

The traffic men of the Central Freight AS
ISOLATION. the Trunk Line Association and
the lake lines have by uniform action put
their foot down on a new effort on the part
OF shippers TO arrange for a time guarantee
for the movement or delivery of freight.
One OF the chief objections to the plan is
that 1t would invite discrimination and
violations Of the interstate-commerce law.
The time guarantee plan proposed provides
for a penalty for failure TO keep within
limits. 1t would be easy TO be behind a day
In delivery. and thus the shippers would
get what would be substantially a rebate.
The effort was to get a guarantee for the
movement of both domestic and export
freight carried either by rail and lake or all
rail. Last weeks meeting OF the Central
Freight Association was the last concerted
action TO prevent the scheme being adopted.
The plan proposed by the shippers covered
contracts for a specified seaboard delivery,
and 70 sail thirty lays after arrival at sea-
board. The indemnity for failure was to be
ia cents per hundred pounds of the traffic
Tor each period of fourteen days or less out
side of the time limit. Failure on the part
OF the shippers TO load their Consignment
for any length OF time was to mean the ex-
tension of the delivery time the same period,
and for each fourteen days delay by the
shippers, or part or that. they were to pay
indemnity the same as the carriers.
