Ten Thousand Tons of Steel Rails :.

Ten Thousand Tons of Steel Rails.
 The Phelps. Dodge company is fast completing it's arrangements to build the Bisbee road into El Paso and the announcement comes from the east that the Fl Paso portion of the road will be built from this city west in- stead of coming in here from the west as was st first supposed.
 The company has already placed an order for 10000 tons of steel at an eastern mill, for delivery at El Paso.
 The presumption is, the steel Is to be delivered in Fl Paso the road will be built from here west. At any rate this settles the question as to where the eastern terminus of the road will be and fulills the predictions Of the Herald made long ago that El Paso would be the terminus and head quarters of the road
 The company now has five large smelters and prospects for more in Sonora. There are many fine mines along the route of the road which will have to get market somewhere Tor their products. Understanding this, it is believed by those who are best acauainted with the conditions that Phelps Dodge company is becoming more than merely mining company, aud will engage in the railroad busl- ness for profit and develop the great mining country in northwest Mexico.
 When the present projected roads are completed the company will have several hundred miles of road in oper- ation. To h,ndle only it's own pro- ducts would be nearly impossible as the road will be forced to handle the products of all mines in the country tributary to it. As purely railroad proposition this line Is considered one of the best in the country. It will traverse the richest mining country on the )ntinenJ and wl.l De the only road in north Mexico crossing the Sierra Madre, which m ,ans the defel' opment of country heretofore prtc- tically untouched.
 The recent order for steel was placed at an eastern mill and will be ready for shipment within a few weeks. In the first order is material sufficient to build 70 or 80 miles and it is said that orders for the other mate rial needed have been placed with western firms. also to te delivered in El Paso. .-El Paso Herald.

Mrs K. Zahn, living at T19 Hudson ave

from her son, William Zahn, who for the
past three years, has been sojourning in
the Alaska gold country, stating that he
was one of the survivors of the terrible
wreck of the Islander on Aug. 10. This
was one of the most appalling disasters
in the maritime history of the Pacific
coast. The steamer Islander, sailing
from Skagway, when nearing the south
west end of Douglas island, and running
at full speed, struck floating iceberg
and went to the bottom in twenty min
utes, carrying forty-two persons down to
watery graves. Young Zahn describes the

would last until they could reach more

EDSALL ON DIVORCE
HIS VIEWS ON THE MUCH-DIS-
CUSSED QUESTION
IN FAVOR OF A COMPROMISE
Believes Innocent Party Should Pre-
sent Copy of Decree to Clergy
men Asked to Perform
Remarriage.

Bishop Samuel Edsall, successor to the
late Bishop Gilbert as coadjutor of this
diocese, was introduced to a Minnesota,
audience in his official capacity for the
first time yesterday afternoon at the
twentieth annual meeting Of the Woman's
auxiliary of the diocese of Minnesota that
was held in St Clements church on
Portland avenue.
The bishop is very much interested in
the coming convention at San Francisco
and said that he was sure the meeting
would be a profitable one for the church.
as there would be much discussion ana
no doubt some changes.
In regard to the attitude of the Episco-
pal church as to the remarrying of di
vorcees the bishop said:
You know that under the present law
of the church our clergymen are allowed
to unite in matrimony the innocent party
in divorce where the decree has been
granted upon statutory grounds. At
present the option lies wholly with the
minister and he must judge for himself
as to the fitness of the applicant for
marriage. This leaves the minister in
the position of judge, jury and all, and
is often embarrassing.
81 think that an amendment whereby
the divorcee who desires to De reunited
in marriage must show to the minister
chosen to perform the ceremony, a writ
Ten copy OF the decree ana all as
surance from the judge issuing the same
that the party was innocent in the suit.
''You see then it would relieve the min
lister of all this sitting in judgment upon
his own account, and would be material
help to the clergy of the church in gen
eral The minister would still have the
prerogative of. refusing to perform the
ceremony and there would be no invol-s
untary violations of the church law in
this regard as there are apt to be under
the present code.
I'm my opinion thfs would be wise
move on the part of the convention. AS
to a strictly prohibitive measure I am
not prepared at present to express an
opinion in public. l shall go there and
listen to the arguments on both sides OF
the question and shall act in accordance
with that, tempered, of course, by my
own judgment.
"I will, say. however, that I think the
amendment 1 have mentioned would be
preferable to an absolutely prohibitive
measure and give general satisfaction.

any action / may, take in the convention

WANTED MAN
HAD ESCAPED POLICE TWICE
Edward McNicholIs Passed Cafe
While Detectives Were at
Lunch, and They Rec
ognized Him.

Walters and patrons in the Hotel Met
ropolftan cafe were yesterday afternoon
treated to the spectacle of two men sud
denly rising from table and rushing
from the room as fast as their feet
would carry them. So hurried was their
exit that they did not pause to snatch
their table napkins from their vests.
They were seen to run out on the side
walk in front of the cafe and there forci-
bly, detain man who was apparently
not pleased to see them. The guests who
FASTENED from the cafe were two Chi
cago detectives, and the man they ar
rested was Edward McNicholls, fugi-
tive from justice, who has, for the last
ten months, been chased from one end of
the country to the other. He is wanted
on a charge of jury bribing in Chicago.
At the time they made the arrest the
detectives, Messrs. Rowan and Morgan,
were quietly enjoying luncheon in the
cafe. Rowan happened to look up sud-
denly and uttered an exclamation of
surprise, whereupon Morgan also looked
ups~and-~said tMcNicholls," and both
rlIsi1ecs ffeadlong from the place with
sHddennesS that almost created a panic.
They were on McNicholls before he was
aware of their presence, and his sur
prise was so great that he was unable
to make a break for liberty. The detec-
lives were highly elated over their cap
as McNicholls is, a much-wanted man..
He escaped the police at Chicago while
being taken before the grand jury on the
charge of bribery and fed to New York
Here he was recognized and officers got
on his trail. but he was put on by a
friend and decamped for the South, and
when he was again spotted he lit out for
the Pacific slope, striking San Francisco
and Seattle.
Here he was lost sight of and allowed
to take his ease for while He came
to St. Paul yesterday, feeling safe from
pursuit, and took no particular pains to
keep under cover. At the time of his ar
rest he was coming from notorious
levee resort. The Chicago detectives
were in the city on business for the Mil
waukee road, and McNicholls was the
last man they expected to see. When
they did see him they acted rapidly
enough to prevent his further escape.
