DAVIS GREAT HIT.
Lectures Before an Immense
Audience on the Boer War.

Washington, April 9.-Webster Da-
Wis was the star attraction of a monster
demonstration in favor of the Beers that
was held last night at the Grand opera
house. Every seat in the theater. the
largest in Washington, was occupied,
upstairs and down. and hundreds of men
and women stood up, occupying every
available foot of space, while several
thousand were turned away to keep the
entrances open and to refuse those who
had no tickets of admission.
Mr. Davis was at his best and swayed
the enormous audience as he liked,
evoking the most enthusiastic applause.
Many of those present were members
of congress and officials of the govern
ment- The scientific and literary cir
cleS of the capital were also represented
The verdict was unanimous that Davis
had made a distinct hit, keeping well
within the bounds of his subject with
out suffering himself to fall into criti-
cism Of the administration. The only
aIlusiOn to the president was in a com
plimentary spirit and the only discOrd
IN connection with the demonstration
was the offer of resolutions of Sympa-
thy. which would have been carried
unanimously, but for the attempt to
condemn the administration on its atti-
ttde. None Of the promoters of the
demonstration knew the real purpose Of
from the stage at the conclusion of the
address.
Mr.. Davis received the congratula-
tons of a large number of prominent
people present, including well known
Republicans in the senate and house.
The audience paid close attention to
every word uttered by the speaker and
manifested their appreciation of his
telling points by frequent and generous
applause. Simple decorat iOns of the
United States flag and the red, white
and black bars with the field Of green
the emblem of the Beers, were suspend
! ed over the stage. A score or more of
sentativ IS in congress, occupied seats on
| the stage and in the audience. Among
1 them were the following.
Senators Clay, Daniel, Teller, Bacon,
/ Allen and Mason, and Representative

Rock Island win Build Many
Bridges This Year.
Plans For 2S5 Steel Structures
Are Prepared.
SPEND HALF MILLION.
This Amount to Be Distributed
For Bridge Work Alone.
Construction viii Furnish En-.
plOyment to Hundreds of Mem.

The Rock Island is preparing to let
contracts for the replacing of wooden
bridges with steel structures through
out the length of its main lines. Pres
ent plans contemplate the completion
OF the work in 1900, and it is said to
be the largest undertaking of the kind
in years
The engineering force OF the road has
been busily at work drawing plans and
specifications for several months and
now everything is in shape for securing
bids and letting contracts. It is the
purpose of the officials to build at least
80 steel bridges Of the latest and most
approved pattern, and to have the work
done as speedily as possible The con-
tracts VIII probably be let to a large
number Of bridge concerns, and no com
pany Will get more work than It can
complete within the year. For some
years the Rock Island has not done
much in the way of bridge improve
ment, but the increased earnings of the
road and the prospects Of the future
have induced the directors to devote
nearly half million to improvement
work.
II is stated by one official of the road
that the improvements contemplated
would give the system as complete and
perfect bridge facilities as those pos
sessed by any road in the country.
Some of the bridges contemplated are
large, While many of them Will be
single span affairs. Among them viii
be a bridge over the Coon river near
Colmans, which viii consist of three
spans each $50 feet long. A second Will
cross the Neshnabotna river by a sin
gle span 10 feet in length. The Red
river crossing is to have a bridge of
three spans. each 200 feet long. The
work viii give employment to an army
of 1aborers and skilled workmen- It is
not unlikely that when the work is in
fun swing several thousand men viii
