BIG TUNNEL COMPLETED.
A Marvellous Bit of Work Added to
the History of Modern En-
EineerinE.

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 27.-President
Hill, of the Great Northern road,
has received from Chief Engineer
Stevens a telegram stating that the
east and west crews in the immense
bore under the Cascade mountains
have met. So perfect was the en-
gineering work and so accurate the
preliminary plans and surveys that
the two forces. working from opposite
ends in the big tunnel. brought the
two ends together without the vari-
alton of an inch almost. Mr.. Stew
ems says that it was the most accurate
bit of work in the history of modern
engineering.
Now that the tremendous task of
boring out over two miles of granite
has been accomplished the work of
laying the tracks is comparatively in
significant. The tunnel will now be
rushed to a speedy conclusion. 1t is
estimated that the tunnel. when COM
p,eted, will cost $1,000. GOO. One thou
sand men have been engaged nearly
three years in its completion, and all
records of tunneling have been brol-
en-. The average progress was from
is to 90 feet per day. The tunnel will
abolish the "swtchback' over the
Cascades. which in itself has always
been looked upon as a magnificent en-

A WARM TIME.
Gov. Hooscvelt Narrowly Escapes
Pcrson1l Violence from Mob
ut Victor. Col.

Cripple Creek, Col, Sept. 27.-Gov.
Roosevelt was mobbed at Victor and
Independence last night. Crowds at
both places beat and stoned him,
shouting for Bryan and charging with
clubs and missiles upon the escort
which followed the republican candi-
date from the train to the hall and
back. The New Yorker was hit in
the breast with a heavy transparency
bearing Bryan's name He stood amid
hail of stones upon his car plat
form without being hurt. and he
heard, as he bowed politely to the
mob, the most obscene erithets and
curses that angry political opponents
could hurl at him.
That Col. Roosevelt was not seri-
ous!y and perhaps fatally injured is
due to his heroic defense by about n
dozen members of the rough rider
regiment, led by Sherman Bell, and
the assistance of about 20 veterans
OF the Spanish war. who rode down
the mob. fought back the rioters with
boards and clubs. and in formation
known to football as the flying wedge
rushed the vice presidential candidate
through the mob to safety on his car.
There is no doubt that Gov Roose-
Welt owes his escape from injury. and
perhaps death, to the fact that he
was surrounded by so many of his
old troopers, all of whom idolize him.
