ANOTHER

l.. G. Skinner, member of one OF
the parties sent out by the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy, to find route for ex-
tending the Burlington to the coast is in
the city, says the Spokane Chronicle.
There are four men in the party, with
!. A. Campbell at their head. Mr.. Camp
bell is expected to arrive here this week.
The party has been spending several
weeks in the Salmon river district in cen
trail Idaho and they have found feasible
route through that section of Idaho
which has not been tapped by any of the
great transcontinental lines.
Mr. Skinner is very much impressed
with the country which their party passed
through, and its adaptability for railroad
construction aud business. In fact, he
thinks that this has been the fortunate
party of the six groups which were sent
out by the Burlington road to examine va
rious routes between the end of the line
in Wyoming and the Pacific coast. He
was seen by the Chronicle and said:
"The Burlington has sent out half
dozen parties to look over the states of
Wyoming. Utah, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon with view to selecting the best
paying route as we'll as one which will
not offer Objectionable grades. / have
been in Idaho, Utah and Washington
with our party of four.
"We were much impressed with the
country along the Salmon river in central
Idaho. The settlements in that part of
the state have no railroad connection at
the present time and are very anxious TO
secure one. think it very likely the
Salmon river route will be the one Sc
lected by the company when it extends
its line
The Salmon river crosses Idaho in al
most a direct line east and west from the
Big Hole pass to Golf, Idaho. This route
would give the c., b. & Q. long down
grade and shorter, line than any other
road now has.
The country would be new and rich in
mineral, timber and agricultural posi-
bilities. The desire of this company to
reach the Pacific is no longer concealed.
The news conveyed by the above ex-
tract is so logical that it should be given
weight in transportation circles
This route would be the best possible

threat that he would burn the Jail the
next time he was put in.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The Chinese
imperial government is putting forth the
most powerful efforts tc secure, through
International negotiations, the abandon
Inent of the movement on Pekin. Cable.
grams from Ii Hung Chang received at
the state department all tend to demon
strath his desire to secure the succor of
the ministers at Pekin and their delivery
at Tientsin if this can be safely effected,
trusting that in return the international
column can be halted. Unquestionably
proper assurance of the safe delivery of
the ministers would have some effect on
the temper of the powers, and it is pos.
slble that the United States government
would give ear to overtures in that di
rection were not the attempt made by
the Chinese to impose conditions on the
delivery that are altogether objection
able; such, for instance, as tn stipulation
that the Chinese imperial authorities
shall be absolutely absolved from the
consequences of the agreement and IL
ability for what has taken place in Pekip.
The first stipulation might be regarded
as direct invitation to the Boxers to
murder the ministers on their way to the
coast, and therefore our government will
leave 1t to. Mr.. Conger himself whether
or not he regards it as safe to leave Pc
kin when the opportunity is held out.
Meanwhile there has been no change as
to the military program, so far as our
government is advised. The senior
United States naval officer at Taku al
ready is under the most positive instruc-
tons to urge forward movement, these
having been sent by Secretary Long Just
after the receipt of the original Conger
message, and he was advised also Of the
intention Of the government to add to
his force. The matters are referred to in
belated dispatches from Tientsin which
touched upon the military situation and
the prospects of speedy forward move
nent. But no additional instructions on
this point would be sent to the United
States army officers today on the spot to
shape their own campaign. Secretary
Root said today there had been no de-
velopments in the diplomatic situation
which would delay the advance upon Pc
kin and that General Chaffee had orders
to cover any contingency which might
arrise.
statement has been made in the dis
patches from Europe to the effect that
the United States is pushing General
Chaffee for first command. II was said
at the war department that such was not
the case, though it was recognized that
the situation might be such as to make it
necessary for him to accept command if
rendered by the other powers,
