from all sections of the state interested
in the work for the dependent delinquent

changes needed in the state laws were

most practical character. A number OF
state legislators were present by special
invitation, and it is expected that the
suggestions made in the conference will
be embodied by these gentlemen in bills
to be introduced in the legislature at the

Railroad Building This Year.

NEW YORK. Jan. II.-Up to the pres
ent time it appears that more miles oi
railroad were constructed during 1899
than during 1900, but belated returns
may yet change the result. During 1899,
4,5SS miles of new road were built, while
returns for last year as far as received in
dictate mileage of 4,32l miles. Railway
building reached its maximum in 1897,
when almost 1905 milss of new lines
were added. Texas led all the states in
the past year with 3rS miles. Pennsyl-
vania came second with AZ miles. while
Iowa was close third with 267 miles. In
the south and southwest the greatest
amount of new building has been done
although many important lines have
been constructed in the west and north
west.

the result will carry with II the fate Of the

doubt that combination has been made

ment to divide the counties Of Shoshone,
Nez Perce and Idaho and form new
county. Part Of the price for senatorial
support il pledge to assist in the conn-
~ division. There Is query % to how
Nez Perce's delegates will view this new
development. Nominally they have been
supporters Of Dubois, but vote for him
now will carry serious consequences a. to
their hopes to defeat the county bill.
There are some interesting developments
expected in the senatorial situation.

The Wheat Crop.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE returns of
the wheat crop Of last year are not all in
yet, but it is estimated that last year the
United States produced s77, ,77o, sos
bushels. The average yield per acre was
I2.2o bushels to the acre, and the area
actually harvested was 42,49s 400 acres.
Winter wheat is far in excess, the crop
being estimated at 3so,o7s 400 bushels,
while spring wheat was I77, ,7o4 ,oo6
bushels. The winter wheat acreage to.
tally abandoned in Ohio, Michigan, In
diana and Illinois was 3,5a2, ,7S7 acres,
and the acreage of spring wheat in North
Dakota and South Dakota was I,7o3,467
acres. Corn in 1900 reached the respect
able figures Of 7,ros, roa, SIC bushels; oats
8o9. .I25,o8o bushels; rye, 23,9os, ,o27
bushels; buckwheat, 9,s66. .o66 bushels;
potatoes, 7Io,o26. .S97 bushels, and hay,
5o,IIo, 1865 tons. The corn crop was the
largest ever gathered and the oats crop
had been exceeded only once.

Sharkey is expected to be present, al
though not as French as the rest Of the

NEw YORK, Jan. II.-Reliable figures
gathered from the different manufac.
tories show that the output in 1890 was
greater than in any previous year. All
the contracting locomotives works built
3I53 locomotives. which is $50, or AIS
per cent more than in 1899. when the
record was also broken. Of this output,
sos. Or about S per cent, were exported.
The various car building shops in the
United States built I24,Io6 cars during
the year as against I73,S93 in 1899. OF
I9oo's output 1900 were freight, 1875
passenger and 6,o8I street cars for use in
the country, and 2,s6I freight, I2I pas
senger and 748 street cars for export.
The extension Of the steel car industry is
shown by the fact that of the total Of
freight cars turned out last year. I4,464
were all steel, and al of them were for
export. The previous year the total was
Io,5oo. while in 1898 only 2,7oo steel cars
were built.

NEW YORK, Jan. ia dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
Earl Roberts has been closely occupied
at the war Office, and it is believed that
reinforcements will be ordered on a large
scale for the moral effect in convincing
Kruger and the Beers in the Geld that
resistance is futile and that Lord Kitch-
ener's overtures should be accepted.
The rapidity with which the details Of
the favorable military operations at Mag
aliesburg are received excites the sus-
picion that affairs are not going equally
we'll in other quarters whence no authen-
tic news can be obtained.
General French's cavalry division has
again outmaneuvered and defeated De-
larry, and possibly has driven his force
from the Witwatersand district, although
this is not quite clear from the dis.
patches.
The mountain strongholds are less i'm
portant to the Beers than formerly. since
they are making little use ofartilery, and
are depending almost entirely on their
rifles and horses. General French ap-
parently has the body of mounted men
requisite for the hot pursuit of Delarey's
burghers, but they will probably divide
and break up into small bands.
From Knox's headquarters there is
less information than from Magaliesburg,
and the fears of military men that some
thing has gone wrong are not dispelled.
The scene of operations against Dewet is,
however, at distance from the railway,
and communications are slow.
Defensive operations against the raid
ers who are roaming at will in the Dutch
districts of Cape Colony are conducted on
a large scale, but no active measures for
following or heading off invaders are re-
ported
