Railroad Building This Year.

NEW YORK, Jan. II.-Up to the pres
ent time it appears that more miles of
railroad were constructed during 1899
than during 1900, but belated returns
may yet change the result. During 1899.
4,5S8 miles of new road were built, while
returns for last year as far as received in
dictate mileage Of 4,322 miles. Railway
building reached its maximum in 1897,
when almost I3,ooc miles of new lines
were added. Texas led all the states in
the past year with 31S miles. Pennsyl-
vania came second with al 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.

Locomotive Building.

NEW YORK, Jan. II.-Reliable figures
gathered from the different manufac-
tories show that the output in 1900 was
greater than in any previous year. All
the contracting locomotives works built
3I53 locomotives. which is $50, or ATS
per cent more than in 1899. when the
record was also broken. Of this output,
sos, or about IS per cent, were exported.
The various car building shops in the
United States built 124,1o6 cars during
the year as against 123,So3 in 1899. OF
Iooo's output 1900 were freight, 1875
passenger and 6,oSI street cars for use in
the country, and 2,561 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 All of them we're for
export. The previous year the total was
10000, while in 1898 only 2,7oo steel cars
were built.

meeting of the Missouri Conference of
Charities and Correction began here yes
terday. 1t is attended by gentlemen
from all sections Of the state interested

BOISE, Jan. Io.-If Dubois is elected
the result will carry with it the fate ofthe
Clearwater county bill. There is now little
doubt that combination has been made
with Dubois and the leaders of the move
ment to divide the counties of Shoshone,
county. Part of the price for senatorial
support is pledge to assist in the coun-
ty division. There is query as to how
Nee Perce's delegates will view this new
development. Nominally they have been
of Dubois, but vote for him
now will carry serious consequences as to
their hopes to defeat the county bill.
There are some interesting developments
expected in the senatorial situation.

municipalities Liability.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II.-Representa-
tives Of municipalities throughout the
country appeared before the judiciary
committee Of the house today relative to
the bill proposing to give the federal
courts means Of enforcing their Judgment
against municipalities. An important
departure from existing law is involved
in the proposition, and one affecting all
cities or towns which borrow money on
bonds or otherwise.
At present there is no means Of enforc-
ing judgments from the federal courts on
these obligations, and many peculiar
conditions have arisen in Missouri, Wis
consin and Texas, through efforts to en-
force them. The United States supreme
court has ruled that mandamus against
the local tax officers to compel them to
put the obligation on the tax roll Is the
only remedy. But in several cases the
local officers have avoided the madamus
by resigning. Several exciting incidents
have occurred in some of the cases. the
local officers taking to the woods to
avoid service.

New YORK, Jan. ia dispatch tc

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 large
scale for the moral effect in convincing
Kruger and the Beers in the field that
resistance is futile and that Lord Kitch-
enees 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 anthem
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 inn
portant to the Beers than formerly, since
they are making little use of artillery, and
are depending almost entirely on their
rifles and horses. General French APP
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 Maga1iesburg,
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.

Clark in Trouble.

HELENA, Jan. Io-W. A. Clark failed
to get majority of fusion members Of
the legislature into caucus tonight and
his opponents claim he is using Mr.. Cor
bett, the speaker, to hold up the appoint
ment of committees and legislation until
he is nominated oy full caucus. He called
caucus of fusionists tonight, but of So
in the legislature only IS were present.
The labor and populist members caucused
by themselves, IL being present, and the
entire delegation from Lewis and Clarke
counties stayed away from both caucuses.
John MacGinnis, manager of the Mon
tana Ore Purchasing company, and de-
feated candidate for speaker. came out
tonight as declared candidate for SEN
ator for the short term, and his support
ors insist that the caucus should be held
for that place before the caucus is held
on the long term to succeed Carter, as
the short term seat is now vacant, whine
Carter's term does not expire until March
4th. They also protest against the alleged
action of Clark in holding up appoint
ments of committees and all legislation
for the whole state until he gets his de-
sire. Charles Clark, son of the senator
ial candidate, openly declares that no
committees shall be appointed and no
legislation considered until w. A. Clark
has been nominated by the caucus to
succeed Carter. All of this means that
there is as hot fight within the fusion
party as ever. The labor party and pop
ulists are holding out for labor legisla-
ton to be passed before giving their votes
| to Clark.
