RAILROAD SITUATION.
(Ouray Herald.)

The big contracting firm now at
work have force enough to finish a
mile of grade per day, and have a
guarantee of six months work. which
will take the line far beyond Paonia
well up toward the top of the range,
says the Delta Independent. The line
of the new road is being surveyed and
located from Crested Butte east thro'
Taylor Park and will be pushed over
the range and down to Buena Vista
When this line of road is completed
it will be the main road through the
state, being almost straight road
from Buena Vista to Grand Junction.
A short line is expected to be built
from Buena Vista to Denver, by way
of the present Midland track to Lake
George in the southeast corner of
the south fork of the Platte river to
Denver. When these lines have
been built and are in operation the
Marshall Pass line will be taken up
and abandoned. Lake City and Cum
nison will be reached by branch
line from somewhere near Jack S
cabin above Gunnison city. The
Black Canon line will be abandoned.
The Southern will be amalgamated
with the main road, and the junction
will be at Delta, to which place the
round house and shops now located
at Ridgway will be moved. The
road from Delta to Ouray and Duran
go will be broad gauged, the kinks
and curves in it Strengthened as much
as possible and the road be made
first-class in every respect. This is
as it was given to Delta Independent
by railroad man of long experience
and who is in position to know what
he is talking about, and we give it
for what it is worth and believe 1t is
worth a good deal. 1t may take a
number of years to accomplish all
this. but we believe that the forecast
is in the main correct.

PROSECUTOR GARDNER.
Roasted by Court Trying American
 Soldiers at Manila.

Manila, June 2S.-At today's session of the board which is inquiring into the charges of cruelty, etc, brought by Major Cornelius Gardner governor of the province of Tayabas. against Amer ican officers and soldiers, Major Gar diner continued his testimony.
 The recorder objected to eXtraneoUs evidence, and said that the witness was not entitled 10 special privileges. the point well taken, but said he thought the grave question involved called for more than an ordinary in Quiry. The recorder replied that it was q matter oi routine, and the rec ord showed that Major Gardiner had always been given every advantage. He long felt and believed, and this feel ing was with the rest of the board, that regardless of what iey did Major Gardiner would accuse the boa5d of unfairness.
 For this reason the board had given the major every latitude. His privilege to throw mud had not certainly been granted to the officers and soldiers the major was cndeaVoring to besmirch.
 The major had been represented at the hearing as governor of Tayabas : by the chief supervisor. the fiscal as sistant attorney general and his first assistant. The recorder did not profess to be a lawyer. He thought, however, that such an array of talent was not likely to be imposed upon.

THE TARTAR MYSTERY
Finding of a Body Believed to Be
 That of the Missing Man.

The latest concerning the disappear ance Of F. M Farrar. who dropped out
 Cf sight in Bisbee on the sixth day of
 last March. is that he is a dead man,
 whose body was found near Santa
 RCsa. N. M. last Saturday. says the
 Bisbee Review.
 |The Farrar mystery has been the
 most sensational in the history of Bis
 bee. All sorts of theories have been advanced to account for the motive which prompted him to leave the city He was employed by the New Liver pool Salt Company. of San Francisco,
 and when he disappeared his accounts were all straight.
 W. Nj. Appel. skilled detective en- plCyed to ferret out the case, and seV- eral ether detectives, secured the en- l tire southwest for Farrar, but the lat ter. after gambling away considerable
 money here and in Tucson, had utter | ly disappeared. and no one was able to trace him. It was thought that Farrar had gone to work for the Bisbee rail- road CT had gene to Cananea, but each when run down proved to be d mis- take.
 The dead man found at Santa Rosa had either been murdered or had taken his own life.
 The victim was probably a man Of i fifty years cf age. The countenance was unrecognizable. He was dressed
 in new. suit Of blue serge, new blue
 underwear. new shoes. Two teeth
 were out in the lower front jaw. Ten 1 dcilars were found in his pockets, also 1 two guides, one Colorado Southern
 and the cther May Rock Island folder.
 i 4 note was found stating that he
 was tired of being followed by detec- { tives. A revolver of 3S-caliber was found by his side, and there was d 1 bullet hole in his head. The revolver 1 contained three loaded cartridges and
 net one empty shell. The hole in the
 hood was made by q 45-bore gun and 1 not by d 3S.

Washington. June 2S.-A lively debate was precipitated in the senate to-day over a resolution by MT. Morgan of Alabama authorizing the committee on intercceanic canals to investigate the status of the American stockholders of the Panama Canal company with l view of protecting them in the French courts. Messrs. Spooner. Hanna and Mitchell of Oregon anatagonized the resolution, maintaining that it was a matter with which the United States had nothing to do.
 MT. Morgan warmly advocated the proposition, but finally it went to the calendar without action.
 Messrs. Debce and Blackburn Of Ken lucky engaged in an interesting but gCod-natured discussion of Kentucky politics, in the course of which the former stated that the reason Gov ernor Taylor did not return to Ken lucky and stand trial as an accessory in the murder of Governor GOebel was that the courts were corrupt and that S100.C reward offered for the appre- hension Of the murderer of Goebel had been used to corrupt the courts and bribe witnesses. This MT. Blackburn emphatically denied, and declared that he was so thoroughly convinced Of Taylor's guilt that he would be will ing to submit the case to any judge and jury in the United States.

are concerned. The conference report on the District of Columbia bill was adopted and now goes to the president.
 Earlier in the day the house decided the contested election case of Horton vs. Butler from the Twelfth Missouri district by declaring the seat vacant by vote of 100 to 136, a strict party vote. Butler, who is democrat, was decided not entitled to the seat. Butler made a vigorous speech of an hour in defense of his right to the seat.
 The Dick militia bill was made con- tinuing crder not to interfere with the conference reports to have all the ships built in government yards. MT. FosS told the house that the con- ferees found that the senate had abso- lutely declined to accept the house pro- vision in it's original form, but he de- clared that the amendment he offered contained substantially the same pro- vision, except that the secretary was only required to build one ship in the government yard.
 MT. Fcss' motion was lost by S1 to D. The house then further insisted upon it's disagreement to the senate amend ment to strike out the provision, and the bill was sent back to conference.
 The conference report on the bill to prevent false branding of foods was adopted.
 i A special rule was adopted to make the Dick militia bill a continuing order not to interefere with conference re- ports.
 A resolution was adopted to grant the commissioner from Porto Rico the privilege of the floor of the house. The conference report upon the bill to con- firm the Choctaw and Chickasaw agree lnent was adopted.

GENERAL SMITH
 NOT ACQUITTED
Ii Was Left to the President
 to Repfimand Him
The Review of the Proceedings of the Courtmartial at Manila Has Been Submitted to the Secretary of War - No Official Information Given Out.

Washington, June 2S.-It is an nounced ct the war department that the case of General J. H. Smith will not be acted upon finally before the end of next week a the earliest. Judge Advocate General Davis has completed the review of the proceedings Of the court martial and the papers are now in the hands of Secretary Root. who is so busy with other matters that he has not yet had time to give the case the attention it deserves.
 It has been generally understood that General Smith was acquitted by the court, but it transpred today that such was not the case, the court, it is alleged, having found General Smith guilty of violating the rules of war. and sentenced him to be reprimanded by the reviewing authority. which is in this case President Roosevelt. h. asmuch.as the case is considered strict ly confidential until finally acted upon by the president, it is impossible to obtain any official information in re- gard to it.
