Williams and Cataract Canyon Railroad.
 Attention is called to page six of this issue of the NEWS on which appears the articles of incorpora- ton of the Williams and Cataract Canyon railroad company. The incorporators of this most import ant adjunct to Williams prosperity are A. l.. Hall, A. B. Colt, H. l.. Byrne, N. E. Sauer and Chas. Bles, all of New York city. This is only one of the important enterprises contemplated for the benefit of this hustling burg, and as Williams is mentioned as the principal place for the transaction of the company's business, much benefit will be de- rived therefrom. As stated in the articles, it is within the province of the company to erect a power plant which will be utilizing the water falls of the Cataract Canyon, which would be great impetus to the largely diversified interests in this section.

Never in the history of the Santa Fe Pacific railroad has that line en- ioyed the heavy passenger traffic manifest during the past week
 Never in the history of the Grand Canyon have such throngs of ex- cursionists, tourists and sight-seers from all parts of the world gazed into its mighty depths or climbed its dizzy walls.
 Never in the history of Williams, the only Give" town along the line, which is still listed in some places as having a population of ninety but which in reality, according to the last census, has a population of nearly 2,5O0-enjoyed such dis tinction as has come to her since the completion of the Grand Can yon railroad
 Now, she stands pre-eminent, alone, the gateway to the greatest of old earth's wonders.
 Last week the NEWS published a list of special cars and trains due to arrive in Williams, en route to the Canyon, chief among which were the Foresters and the Federa- ton of Woman's clubs
 The former, one of the largest special trains that ever crossed the continent, went west last Saturday over the Santa Fe. It was the In dependent Order of Foresters' ex- cursion to the meeting of the Su- preme Court at Los Angeles
 The train was made up of four teen cars and all were filled with delegates and their friends from all parts of the world-Europe, Asia, Australia and America
 Special after special, carrying delegates of the Women's clubs, passed through all stopping to make the side trip to the Canyon
 On Sunday three specials-Kan- sas. eight cars; Texas, six cars; Ne braska, Iowa and Minnesota, eight cars, arrived, and these were fol- lowed on Monday and Tuesday by two cars from Pennsylvania, Della ware and Washington; eight from Colorado; eight from Ohio; eight from Indiana, Illinois and WiscOn- sin, and eight more from Pittsburg,
 
 As stated above, never in the his tory of the Santa Fe, the Grand Canyon nor Williams have such crowds of tourists fiocked within our gates. And this is but the be- ginning.
 As soon as the trains pulled up at the depot the cars were hastily emptied and throngs of people

 Our one hotel did a land office business, while numerous restaur- ants and lunch counters around town were filled to overflowing.
 Hither and thither they went first to one store, then another, and many were the dollars that were left behind, while our merchants vainly tried to wait upon a dozen or more people at the same time.
 The NEWS office was not over looked, either, in the rush. In fact we had hard work to hold out suffi- cient papers for our subscribers so great was the demand.
 Among the Foresters was the Hon. w. H. Montague, of Hamil- ton, Ont, ex-minister of agricul- ture of Canada, who, with his wife, made us a pleasant call.

Illinois Banker May Get Liberty on
Technicality.


Chicago. June 10.-After serving
more than four years in the Joliet peni-
tentiary Charles Warren Spalding,
president of the defunct Globe Savings
Bank and defaulting treasurer of the
University of Illinois, may find his way
to freedom thru writ of habeas cor
puS.
Petition was made to Judge Dunno
yesterday afternoon by w. G. Ander-
son, the colored attorney, and the un-
usual ground advanced that the indict-
ment on which the ex-banker was tried
the verdict on which jury sent him to
the penitentiary for a maximum term
OF ten years, and the mittimus on which
he was conveyed to Joliet are techni-
cally irregular in the eyes of the law
and therefore void.
Judge Dunno admitted last night that
the writ will issue today. Only the un-
expected setting up of new legal objec-
tions by the states attorney can pre-
vent it.
II probably shall issue the writ" said
Judge Dunno. 1.-The contentious, as set
up in the petition, are proper, and I do
not see how they can be overlooked or
avoided. The wonder of it is that at
torneys in the case have failed to see
these points during the five years since
Spalding got into trouble"
Spalding was convicted on a charge
of embezzling Macoupin county bonds
held by the university and of the value
of $4,000. For four years insistent de-
mand on the state board of pardons has
failed to to secure Spalding's release.

A. o. U. w. Supreme Lodge to Take
Action on Reserve Project.
Portland, Ore, June 1O.-Members of
the supreme lodge Of the Ancient Or
der of United Workmen are here for
their annual meeting. which begins to-
day and continues for ten days.
The A. o. U. w. is the original frater-
nal cooperative association IN Amer
lea, was organized by John Jordan Up
church in August, 1868. and now num-
bers over 100000 members. The SUI
preme lodge is composed of represent,
atives from all the states and territor-
les and several of the Canadian pro-
vinces.
The question of most vital impor-
tance to come before the present meet
ing is the proposal to advance the
rates of insurance over the age Of 55.
About six years ago the order revised
the plan adopting step rate, and max
ing the initial rate up to 25 years $1.20
per month per $1,000 and the top limit
s3.55 for all ages above so. It is now
proposed to raise the rate for over SO
years to between $3.50 and $4.75. The
increase is necesitated by the fact that
the order is accumulating liabilities
which it can not meet under the pres-
ent plan. The statistics show that
while the year of 1901 was entered into
with a surplus of $4,000 and the
amount paid into the relief fund was
sS75,O00, the losses amounted to over
81 OOO 600

washington. June 10.-The house to-
day. without preliminary business, re-
sumed consideration Of the bill to
transfer certain forest reserves to the
agricultural department and to author-
ize the president to create game ana
fish reserves. Cannon, chairman OF the
appropriation, moved to strike out the
enacting clause of the bill.
Cannon made a statement regarding
expenditures and receipts for the COM
ing fiscal year. For the current year
the apparent surplus was S4Looo,ooo'
for the coming year estimated reNen-
ues were $6S9,000,000. The regular ap'
preparation bills in their present status
aggregated $590.000,000 Permanent
appropriations were s69,000,000. Mis-
cellaneous appropriations, including
omnibus public building bill, were
$40 600 900. Deficiencies already ag-
gregated sci 100000. The apparent ex-
cess of appropriations over eXpendl-
lures had already reached the sum or
S51,925.128. This showing made no pro-
vision for the sinking fund Of $54,OO0,-
o0O which could be paid or not. 1t did
not include anything for the isthmian
canal. for the Pacific cable, for omni-
bus fish hatchery proposition, or
hundred other kindred propositions. II
might be said the treasury contained
a great surplus, observed Cannon. Ii
any great pending enterprises were
undertaken the surplus would vanish
like mist before the sun. He said he
did not desire to be an alarmist, but
he adiured his colleagues to weigh
carefully the appropriations before
they allowed the expenditures to march
beyond the estimated receipts. Every
cent of revenue for the next fiscal year
was necessary to pay expenses in sight
He appealed to his colleagues not {
pass a bill like the pending measures
which would certainly beget extrava-
gance.
Cannons motion to strike out the en-
acting clause was adopted by 100 to 70.
Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, then pre-
sented a special order for consideration
of the Corliss Pacific cable bill. BY its
terms four hours are to be allowed for
general debate. and any Pacific cable
proposition was made germane to 1T.

Harrisburg, Pa, June 10.-The inci-

no active opposition to the nomination
Of Former State Senator William NJ
Brown for lieutenant governor ana
Major Isaac B. Brown for secretary OF
state of internal affairs. Attorney
John p. Elkins is making a splendid
fight for governor and his adherents
still claim he will be nominated on the
FIRST ballot.
There will be 35s delegates in the con-
yention. The Pennypacker managers.
led by Senator Quay, claim their can
aidate will have at least 225 votes
whe Elkin managers claim their favor
tie will have 202.
The friends of Former Lieutenant
Governor Louis A. Waitress declare hq
will have fifty.
Pennypacker and Waitress have
formed a combination on organization
of the convention. This will probably
give them enough votes to control the
election of Senator Penrose as tempo
rary chairman and Congressman Sib-
ley permanent chairman. The Penny
packer and Waitress delegates will hold
Il Joint caucus tonight for the selec-
ton of officers of the convention. BY
agreement between the rival managers
of these two candidates the governor

delegates will also caucus tonight.
After the caucuses both the Penny
packer and Elkin adherents will have
rival demonstrations for the purpose of
influencing doubtful delegates. Clubs
have been coming in from all over the
state since early morning to take part
fin these demonstrations. The bulk of
Pennypacker clubs come from Philadel-
phia. The Elkins shouters We're made
up principally of miners from th. an
thracite region and clubs from counties
in which delegates have been instructed
for him.
Ell1ins is called the "Plow boy of In
DIANA and scores of young men dress
ed as farm hands, will take part in his
demonstration.
Two thousand miners will come from
Schuyikill region and 500 from Lykens
Valley. They will wear regulation
miners cap and lamp, and will bring
their rations, provision having been
made to house them in the capitol and
public halls.
Thirty of the thirty-six delegates
from Allegheney county reached here
today. They will caucus this afternoon
and agree upon a candidate for COVER
nor. Six of the delegates claimed by
the Pennypacker managers and others
are conceded to Elkin. The latter ex-
poets to capture the solid delegation.
These delegates may control the nomin-
alton and both sides are trying to land
them.
The Elkins managers claim Penny
packers adherents have failed in their
alleged attempt to break in on their
instructed delegates.
