It was recently reported that the
Belgian government had decided to
abandon the project for altering the
course of the river Scheldt by cutting
new bed for distance OF about FIVE
miles from Antwerp. This project.
which has been looked upon by expert
engineers as one of the most difficult
engineering problems of the day, has
been under consideration for several
years. says the Chicago Daily News.
Many expert American engineers have
been consulted, notably Mr. Bates,
whose great dredges were used on the
mississippi. Mr.. DE Smet de Naeyer.
the prime minister however, denies
the report. The government will not
abandon the scheme unless some bet

Washington, April 3.--Senator Han.

Rathbone with so much spirit and Do
termination that the integrity Of Gen.
eral Wood is involved and the fate
Of the fourth assistant postmaster gen.
eral, Mr.. Bristow of Kansas, depends
upon the result. Hanna believes that

to the president. Failing In that he
will urge the passage of the bill by
congress which will give Rathbone .
trial in the United States. lrrecon.
cilable differences between the presi.
dent and senator Hanna must newt
ably follow unless the president finds
q way to do something for Rathbone.
President Roosevelt has been asked
by Senator Hanna to investigate the
charge that the Cuban court was in.
structed to convict and that evidence
in Rathbone's favor was ignored. What
power the president may have to re.
view the decisions of the court created
by General Wood, military governor
of the island, Is not known. Even II
he has the power it Is pretty gener.
ally understood that he will Withstand
the demands of the Ohio senator.
Rathbone Is Hanna's political and
personal friend. He was a confidential
lieutenant of Hanna when bribery was
charged in the Ohio senatorial cam.
paign in 1898 and in report Of ma.

Pacific Train.

irving yesterday on Great Northern
train due last Friday tell Of being
snowbound for four days and five
nights on the prairies of North Da-
kota in the midst Of the worst biz.
zard the northwest has seen in many
years, with only food enough for two
frugal meals day and with such a
small amount of fuel that the women
had to wrap themselves in blankets
and the men to wear Their overcoats
day and night to keep from freezing.
The train was completely lost to the
world.
Late Thursday afternoon it picked
it's precarious way out of Williston in
the hope of being able to reach Minot,
some fourteen miles to the east, be-.
fore night. Almost midway, at a lit.
tie stopping place called Ray, where
there is only siding, water tank
and coal shed, the train was stalled.
The engineer thought he could run
the engine back to Williston and Sc
cure aid, and taking the conductor
with him, started on the trip. The
lone engine was stuck in a drift a
short distance out of the town and
had to be abandoned. This left the
train of eight coaches and about two
hundred and fifty passengers alone on
the siding and with all communica.
ZION cut Off. Then started the long
siege, during which the cold mad to be
borne and hunger stlfled. There was
much suffering.

BRITISH FORCE MEETS DEFEAT.
Made Attack on Beers Near Bosch.
mans kop.

London, April 3.-Lord Kitchener,
in dispatch from Pretoria, announc.
ed that the Second dragon guard
fought sharp rear guard action near
Boschman's kop during the evening OF
March 81. Four officers are known
to have been wounded. No further
details of the casualties have been
received.
The column commander, Colonel
Lawley, detached the dragons with
the object Of surprising a Boer lager
reported to have been located ten
miles east of Boschman's kop. The
dragons found the Beers strongly
posted and the burghers were subse.
quently largely reinforced, with the
result that the dragons had to fight
a hard rear guard action in order to
regain the main column. The heavy
firing called up Colonel Lawle1 and
his troops, who drove off the Beers.
The latters loss is reported to have
been heavy, 81,
