THE RAILWAY WORLD.
There are secondary railways, cleo
tricai and others that will be built in
the near future. The Prussian govern
ment has recently introduced a bill
into the Diet which calls for the ex-
penditure of considerably more than
1oo,ooo.O0o marks for building such rail
ways. and the railway authorities are
ordering every year larger and larger
supplies of rolling stock. Only recently
the authorities had n conference with
inc coal and iron producers of upper
Siiesia to discuss the amount OF in
crease that will be required In freight
cars for that district, and It was de-
cided that about 6 ner cent. Increase
upon the present stock would be nee
essary TO handle this years business.
Many cities. too, are only awaiting IA
vorable conditions in the money mar
ket TO raise loans for putting in cleo
trlc lights and traction plants. gas
WORKS, water systems. etc. The shin
building industry has the brightest Of
prospects. This industry consumed Sc
ou0 tons of iron last year against an
average of 10000 tons in the two pre-
ceding wears. And the immense de-
mand for the new war vessels which
will socn be voted by the Reichstar
Will add greatly to the consumption of
iron"

lieve that war between England and
France forms a part Of the determined
policy of Mr.. Chamberlain and the
British imperialsts, who intend to
bring 1t about on the conclusion of
peace in South Africa. The bellicose
attitude of the lingo organs in England
are undoubtedly partly responsible for
this animosity, but much of this anti
British campaign is a part of the I'M
demanded reactionary propaganda

British campaign is a part Of the I'M
demanded reactionary propaganda
against Government and THERE
public.
MATTER OF ANXIETY.
M. Yves Guiot denounced this foster
ing of the idea that war with England
is inevitable by the i-Republican
press in an article in La Steele. in
which he stigmatizcd it as the work
of national treachery.
The growing hatred between the two
countries is certainly matter of
anxiety TO the French Government,
which itself does now and has always
maintained n most correct attitude to-
wards England.
PUBLIC FEELING DANGEROUS.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press here has talked with an official
of the Government, whose duty 1t is to
follow Frances foreign relations. He
admitted that the present state of pub
lie feeling on both sides of the channel
was becoming dangerous to mainten-
ance of amicable relations.
This feeling" he said, ''is mainly
created by the provocative attitude of
the English lingo press, which is so
unanimous in its attacks upon France
that they would seem to come from a
mot d'ordre. Public feeling in almost
every country, including a conSidera Bile
number of Americans. is against Great
Britain in the Transvaal war, yet
France alone is singled out for these at
tacks. There is no question pending
between the two countries grave enough
in itself to lead to hostilities, but If
the present mutual feeling of animosi-
ty continues cannot say what may
happen The French Government is
preparing for any emergency. Our
weak spot In case of war would have
been the colonies, but when the meas
ures now being taken are completed
they will be beyond the possibility of
capture. Algeria and Tunis are, OF
course, out of the question, and the
Governments efforts are directed to-
wards securing the safety Of the outly-
ing colonies, such as Tonquin. NADIA
gascar, the West African settlements
and the West Indian islands. Stores.
ammunition and improved ornaments
are being provided"
THE EXPOSITION.
An examination of the condition of
the Exposition works shows that the
Americans should be satisfied with the
progress of the American section COM
pared to that OF other countries. The
facades are nearly completed in the

partments. and work has begun on
every American section. while even

COAL AND COKE.

Mr. Dreher finds that in coal and
coke Germany is now in the midst OF
a famine such as it has never before
experienced. He says: This situation
mas been produced partly by the in
creased demand for coal at home hut
still more largely through events I'm
other countries. The war in South Ar
RIGA has diverted II large amount of
coal which England had been pre-
viously selling on the Continent to the
Cape,and this disturbance of trade con-
ditions has brought to Germany many
orders for coal from France. Italy. and
other countries which had hitherto been
buying in England. Across the eastern
frontier. too there is n largely In
creased demand for German coal. The
great strike of bohemian miners has
produced an urgent demand for coal
from Austria, wherea the ports Of
Germany lying along the Elbe have
peen accustomed to get most of their
supplies of coal from Bohemia Itself.
and now the phenomenon is daily wit
messed of immense train loads of coal
leaving Germany for Bohemia From
Russia. too. there Is an extraordinary
| demand. and only quite recently the
Russian ministry has published de-
cree admitting coal for use on the State
| railways free Of duty"

morning for Benton, court having
adjourned Saturday night. Unless

ty. Judge Leslie Of Great Falls will

One of the Old Timers.

In the discovery OF gold in the
Judith mountains must be associat-
ed the names of Charles II. Bessey,
John Kemper, ] Frank Sage. Snow
and McPartland. This little band
of adventures and prospectors were
among the first to pitch their tent at
the present site OF Maiden and MEM
bers of this party were the discover
ers Of the Orc Cache, Collara and other
properties. OF this party only one
remains among us-Mr. Sage. who
still lives at Maiden. Mcfarland
was drowned some six or eight years
ago in st. Mary's lake, Fl we are
not mistaken. Kemper left Maiden
for South America in 1885 or 6 and
was never heard from afterwards;
Snow, when last heard of, was en-
gagged in mining in Utah. 1t was
the writer's pleasure to know every
member Of the party and as we look
back over the years we recall many
instances OF their manliness. generos.
ity and nobility of character. They
were the true sons Of the western
frontier, who courted danger and
hardships in blazing the trails for
those who were to follow. OF that
little band none was held in higher
regard than he who was laid to rest
last Monday. OF a quiet, taciturn
nature. he rarely ever engaged in
disputes and always aimed to avoid
trouble with his feilowmen. He be-
lieved In doing what was right and

Will Go to Benton on April I'D.

The trials OF James Fisher and
james Calder connected with the
murders OF McRea and Allen which
were transferred to Choteau county,
will be heard in that court on or
about April 23rd. Sheriff Shaw will
take the prisoners to Benton a few
days previous to that date. County
Attorney Smith will go to assist in
the prosecution. Attorneys Black
ford on behalf OF Fisher, and Cheadlc
on behalf OF Calder, will also go and
it is said that Attorney Won Tobel
will also be called as a witness for
the prosecution in the Calder case.
In addition Ii Ia likely all witnesses
who testified in the former trials will
be subpoened. These are: Sam'l
Smith, j. W. Woods, T. j. Sherman,
Louis Lewis, Ed. Messenger, DR.. G..
A. Hogan, Chas. Ridell, II. L. Nichols
and j. ID. Waite. All of the forego-
ing testified for the state, the only
witnesses for the defendant, Fisher,
or for William Calder who was exc
cuted, being the defendants them
selves. In addition James Calder
testified for the state. The matter
Of subsequent proceedings. in case Of
conviction, has been the subject OF
considerable discussion the past few
days. Sunday Judge DuBoss stated
that 1t was the practice to have con-
vlcted criminals executed In the
county where they were tried, or
from that county taken to the peni.
Tertiary. Consequently when Fisher
and Calder leave for Benton they will
bid farewell to Fergus county, for IL
is hardly possible that either will be
acquitted.
