MIR. BALF0UR'S SHARP REPLY

LONDON. Oct. 22.-Turbulert scenes
marked the session Of the House Of
Commons today. The trouble arose
over q renewal Of the Irish demand for
a day to discuss Irish grievances.
Sir Henry eH-Bannerman. the
Liberal leader supported the Irish de-
mand. and this moved Premier BaIfour
to make a caustic reply, in which he
described the Irish party as a faction.
In moment Thomas Power O'ConnoT
member srom the Scotland division Of
Liverpool. was on his feet. He regHdi-
a1ed the idea that the Irish morton
would be censored by Ban8erman. and
he added:
The prime minister has used the
most insulting language to our party.
We claim TO represent nation. The
description OF US as faction is q
deliberate insult TO a country whose
civilization preceded, and may succeed
this country"
Loud cheers greeted this bold declara
tion of Mr. O'Connor

MAY BUILD A NEW RAILROAD.
The Pueblo, Gunnison G. Pacific Route
Considered.

If Engineer G. w. Gwin, of the Rio
Grande system. reports favorably, a
road will be built over the old Pueblo.
Gunnison & Pacific route, surveyed
many years ago. The old route extends
from Pueblo to st. Mary. The Rio
Grande may build on from this point to
Moffat, connecting with the New Mexi-
a branch. This would facilitate the
marketing of Pueblo steel in the south
west.
When the old Pueblo. Gunnison &
Pacific route was surveyed, it was the
intention of the capitalists interested
to push the road through to Gunnison
and from there connect with some
western road, making a short route to
the Pacific. However it was found to be
impossible to shorten the route in this
way, and the resources of the country
crossed would not at that time support
the branch, so it was abandoned. Since
then, however, conditions have chang
ed and the New Mexican line makes
this branch a possibility.

yesterday it was admitted that Engi
neer Gwin was looking over the ole
route, but what the outcome would be

N FEE ANXIOUS.
Wants New Line to Use Lamy Branch,
But D. g. r. G. objects,

A special telegram from Santa Fe
to the FL Paso Herald says:
Report has it that the Santa Fe Rail.
way company is working hard to pre-
vent the construction of the Santa Fe
Central railway into Santa Fe.
At first opposition was manifested
on Wall street to such an extent that
the promoters of the Santa Fe Central
railway from Santa Fe to Cameleon
were compelled to go to Pittsburg. Pa,
for their capital to construct the pro.
posed line.
Not having been able to checkmate
the enterprise in mat manner, the
Santa Fe officials are now endeavoring
to persuade the Santa Fe Central Off
Gals to desist from building the line
from Ortiz to Santa Fe. but to build
from Cameleon to Roswell instead and
to use the Lamy branch conformity
with the Santa Fe to get into the CAPT.
tai of the territory.
1t is not yet known what the result
of these negotiations will be, but 1t is
certain that if the Santa Fe Central
does not build into Santa Fe the Den.
yer & Rio Grande will break its Wall
street agreement and will parallel the
Santa Fe from Santa Fe to FL Paso.
