lie NEW RAILWAY sFRvIoE.

from the Minneapolis Journal
Any one who is following the new

This revolution will have to do with the
length Of a continuous ride, rather
than with improvements in cars; this

It will not be long before the pas
senger will enter a train at Minneapo-
lis and not alight until Boston, New
York or Washington is reached. The
passenger viii board the train in Bos-
ton or New York and ride continuously
to San Francisco or Portland At least
the indications are that this win be
done, perhaps within the year.
There IS at the present time being

strongly built, cash is paid for the

BAILEY WANTS oREDIT.
Says Work Claimed by Curtis Is Eff
fort of Senator Baker and
Himself

Leavenworth, Jan. 18.-That Leaven-
worth just now has many friends in
congress looking after her federal in
terests is best shown in letter re-
ceived a few days ago by a gentleman
of this city from Congressman Bailey.
Mr. Bailey's friends here want it un-
derstood that while they are pleased
with Curtis efforts in behalf of the
cfty'S interests they do not propose to
accord him all the credit for whatever
has thus far been done, whether sue
cess or failure awaits the final result.
The receiver of Mr.. Bailey's letter
was permitted to make an extract from
it and the following is taken:
L do not want to detract one thing
from the credit that is honestly due any
one. But these claims that Mr.. Curtis
is sending out, that he is doing all that
is being done for Leavenworth, are so
unfair that l am prompted to state to
you the facts
THE 100000 for the new prison was
recommended by the department of
justice. Senator Baker and I called
upon the attorney general in October
when we were here, and urged the mat
ter. The warden has recommended it.
Immediately upon my arrival here at
the opening of congress called upon
the attorney general again and learn
ed that he had recommended the appro-
priatiOn. Mr.. Curtis has waited upon
the committee of appropriations, 50
have /, and 1 talked personally with the
influential members of the committee.
I simply insist that Mr. Curtis has had
no more to do with this matter than
has Senator Baker and myself. The
appropriation for the new buildings to
take the place of Mcpherson and Thorn
hall. of course, was the reason we
came to Washington in October, and it
is no more due to Mr.. Curtis than the
balance of us.
He is adopting the same tactics
now he has always. and when he and
Mr.. Broderick were here together claim
ing everything for himself. OF course,
Mr.. Curtis is trying to help and so are
the balance of us and it will need a
united effort to put the bills through.
Senator Bakers influence is worth as
much as both of US in that matter it
being his home and he is a senator"

responsibility for the war is political
clap trap on both sides, and is not in
