neriods in banks at WoOdsville and New
port. n II. Early in the winter Of 1897
1898. Mr.. Johnson was in Florida, hop
:ng that the change might benefit him,
but rather he became worse there and
soon returned to his home, never to leave
St. Johnsbury again.

rible sufferer, but through it all he display
ed a wonderful degree Of patience and
quiet endurance, and his constant desire

1900: Connecticut, Il. 900, and several
thousand acres in other states which
would be seriously crippled.
As to cigars. Mr.. Young declared that
the proposed concessions would wipe
out the American made 10-cent cigar"
The Cuban cigaTmaker would lay down
a cigar here for less than the American
manufacturer receives for his high
grade goods. and the Cuban would have
the advantage Of having his goods ad-
veTtised as imported cigars" This.
Mr. Young. said, would secure for Gu
ba the entire American market for all
goods above :. cents.
Representative Richardson of Ten
nessee asked if the price of cigars
would be reduced to the cigar smoker.
Mr.. Young said the price would be
reduced. but he did not believe the
consumer would ask this reduction al
the expense of the American industry

at once.
Additional orders of machinery for
use in the shops continue to be re-
ceived, ana it is known that a large
number Of ties have been ordered, some
TO come from the east over the Union
Pacific. and some from the north over
the Short Line.
The exact route Of the line was not
divulged by any of the engineers, but
il is believed here that there are few
changes from the original survey which
runs almost due westward from ogden
to the lake shore, thence across to the
PrOmontory. thence to the west shore
of the lake, thence nOrthwestward TO
LuCin.
The saving in mileage is about fifty
miles. while all the heavy grades Of

supposed that the company will do
the work without letting it out by
contract.
When completed. the bridge span
across the lake would be one of ,Ae
longest in the country, but it is said TO
be contemplated by the company TO
fill in earth around the piling wherever
the depth Of the water will permit,
making a solid roadbed most of the
way across.

ogden. Jan. 21-It was stated here
today that work is to begin before the
close Of the week on the construction
of the Ogden-Lucin cutoff Of the
Southern Pacific. The most recent de-
velopment taken to indicate this inten-
zion is the proposition to construct a
spur starting from near the Southern
Pacific round house. westward towards
the lake. The local engineering force
has been busy for the past two days
mapping out this work 1t is not known
at present how Ear the spur will be
constructed. but it's purpose was shown
by the fact that the space along each
side Of the track is being reserved,
and is to be cleared for reception Of
quantities of piling ordered from Ore
gOn, as heretofore related. and some
of which is said to be due 20 arrive
within fOrty-eight hours. 1t Is known
to be the intention of the company to
store the piling near Ogden and to
construct the spur directly to the lake
side as fast a S possible. With this in
view the engineers have notified the
former owners of the rights Of way pur-
chased last year By the company to
remove their fences. buildings and the
like from the railroad comp9ny's

TOBACCO INTERESTS LEAD THE
OPPOSITION TO CUBAN RECIPROCITY

Washington. Jan. 21.-The ways and
means committee today resumed its
hearings on Cuban reciprocity with
special reference to the proposed reduc-
ton on Cuban tobacco. The tobacco
interests of the United States were
largely represented. the officers Of the
large Leaf. Manufacturers and Grow
ers' associations being present
John R. Young. president OF the Ma
tional Leaf Tobacco association. made
an earnest plea against any tobacco
concessions to Cuba. He said there
was a great sentiment in favor of
granting relief TO cuba. but he con-
tended that We should be as just 20 the
people of our own country as to the
people of foreign countries.
The purpose of the movement for
reciprocity. he said. was to have the
whole expense of Cuba's relief fall on
-wO American ndustries-tObacco and
sugar. There was a tobacco acreage
