the removal OF the body may have re-
suited from an unfortunate misunder-
standing, a conviction that the sena-

grant to him that honor after death
which they willingly granted to him in

Road to BE Built Which Will Con.

Chicago, Oct. %. - 1t was learned
yesterday that the survey recently
made for a line of railroad between
Minnesota City, Mimi, and st. Eau
and Minneapolis, and which has caused
much speculation in railroad circles In
the Northwest, is not in the interest
Of either the Chicago Great Western
or the Chicago & Northwestern, as has
been generally believed. The survey,
It, is stated, was for an electric line to
connect Minnesota City with the Twin
Cities, touching many Minnesota
towns which are without railroad CONF
munication with either st. Paul or
Minneapolis. The enterprise was pro-
NOTED by st. Paul and Minneapolis
parties and the money necessary to
complete the line is furnished by Chi
cago and Philadelphia capitalists. Con-
struction work will begin next spring.
Connection will be made with the Twin
City Rapid Transit railway and en-
trance thus given to all parts of st.
Paul and Minneapolis. The road Is
undertaken as a purely passenger line.

DROP FoRT1F1CATIoNs CLAUSE.
New Canal treaty Will BE Signed I'm
Washin1tOn -

Washington, Oct. 19.-Lord Paunce-
fote will sail for the United States on
the 26th inst, before the British cabinet
council has had an opportunity to re-
view the protocols which embody in
principal the proposed new Hay
Pauncefote canal treaty. 1t is thought
here, however, that the fact will not
delay sensibly the final negotiations,
which will take place here between Sec
rotary Hay and Lord Pauncefote, for
1t is the intention that the new treaty.
like that which it will replace on the
docket of the senate, shall be finally
drafted n signsd in the city Of WASH
ingtop. 1t is said that when the new
document is framed the Notifications"
clause will ave been found to have
dropped out, leaving the United States
at liberty to fortify the canal. but It
Is distinctly stated that it is not obliged
to do so, and, in fact, there is no pres
ent intention Of erecting Notifications.
which, it is stated. would be much more
expensive than a fleet of battleships
and less useful.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Gov. Dram Of

Bands Of about 300 Indians are in
Colorado from the White Rocks, Utah,
agency, destroying game in direct vio-
latton of the laws of the state. Imme-
date provision must be made by you
to remove them, otherwise there will be
serious trouble. I am satisfied that the
government agent at White Rocks is
not using proper efforts to keep them
at the agency"
The agent referred to, Mr.. Myton, is
already in Colorado investigating the
reports that his Indians were trespass-
ing on Colorado lands, but has not re-
ported the result of his investigation to
the department.

1.-THE bank is absolutely sound. The
first knowledge that we had of any

Montana train robbers, and in default
of $4,000 was remanded to Jail. 1
A dramatic scene followed the de-

gave way. to emotion and sobbed. The
court room was crowded with spec

prisoner. Presently she appeared, at
tired in the same garb she wore upon

She looked careworn, still her face was

at once. After that the prisoner de-
clared she had come by the loot hon
estly. At this juncture she broke
down and became hysterical. Seeing
an opportunity to secure a confession,
perhaps, the officers tried to talk with
her. In a moment she recovered her
self, however, and resumed her de-
iant air. She refused to give any In
formation. The prisoner is now held
for violating the state laws, but alter
a consultation with United States Dis
trict Attorney Tillman it was decided
to ultimately transfer the case to the
federal courts. Supt. Gaylor OF the
Pinkerton agency has received plenty
Of information but nothing of a def
mite character has turned up. A local
crook told the police that If they would
obligate themselves to divide the re-
ward he would turn the three men up
and that they were in the crowd at the
trial. Supt. Gaylor left last night and
Believes He Has n Clue
through which he will land at least one

about a New Orleans clew which the

which would possibly result in h es-
