Cut Off Cost $1s,ooo,ooo.

The cut-off in Salt Lake said Senator Foraker, would cost $13. .000. coo and vet the defendants came into court without saying a word about this cutoff or the tunnel through the Sierras. He spoke of the recent fall of a section of the cut-off into the lake to show the impracticability of the scheme.
 Senator Foraker said that it was not necessary for the complainants to show that the defendants were doing wrong. but to show that they might do it. A change in tariff rates would work a detri- ment to the stockholders of the Southern Pacific.
 Senator Foraker, in closing, said the important question was restraining the Union Pacific from voting the Southern Pacific stock at the annual meeting. He contended that the two roads were com petitors and that the tendency was to- wards centralization and monopoly.
 Senator Foraker read an affidavit from Kenneth G. White slowing a statement of the operations of the Southern Pacific from June 30, 1902, to January, 1903, The gross earnings for that period were S52 . 9S5.551. net earnings were $l2.575,O2S. leav- ing a deficit for the period of S4,246 see The month of January increased the de- felt $1,173,070.

After Southern Connections.

1t is rumored in railroad circles to-
day that the Goulds are to enter into
competition with the Morgan interests
and will endeavor TO secure 4 southern
line to compete with the Southern HAIL
way. The Seaboard Air Line is said tc
be the system sought. and interesting
developments are anticipated.
The Goulds, with the Wabash and
Missouri Pacific, have al they want
in the West, but no railroads in the
South. With the construction of a line
from Baltimore to Washington and New
port News. and a short line to Rich
mond, they would obtain access tc the
Seaboard's line which covers almost
every Southern State.
1t is also reported on good authority
that the Goulds will build eastward from
the Missouri Pacific and meet the Sea-
board Air Line in Birmingham, Ala. The
Seaboard is now building into that city,
and an immense freight business would
be assured to both lines. The Goulds

CLEVELAND STAR HIGH
IN POLITICAL HEAVENS

Cleveland's undoubted ambition, and
might seriously hurt 1t.
Word came from ST. Louis last night
that Norman E. Mack. who has been
Brvan's mouthpiece in the East. had de-
clared himself for Cleveland. This start
ling statement has failed OF verifcatiou.
1t seems that what Mack really said was
that ne believed Cleveland would be a
candidate next year, and if he was he
would sweep New York.
More important is the evidence being
adduced that the New Jersey delegation
to the next Democratic convention will
be instructed for Cleveland. Arrange
ments looking TO this end. it is said on
authority. have already been made. Only
Cleveland can upset the plan He is ST
lent-has been silent since he left St.
Louis. No one doubts that he is willing
for the lightning to strike, and no one

In connection with the New Jersey
plan. the utterance OF former United
States Senator James Smith is signifi-
can't He said in an Interview yester-
day:
There is one man above ali others
whose name at this juncture inspires
confidence as a Presidential candidate,
around whom all shades of Democrats
can unite. and toward whom their
thoughts and hopes are everywhere
turning as the Moses who is able to lead
them out of the wilderness. That man
is Grover Cleveland, former President of
the United Statcs.'
Smiths interview concluded with a
comprehensive eulogy of Cleveland. Per-
haps he is a bit sanguine concerning the
unarimity of the demand for a Moses
from Princeton, but his statement is a
sign of the times.
Of course, with any revival of Cleve-

a coincident revival of the anti-third

THE THOMAS ORCHESTRA
STRUGGLING FOR MONEY
Contracts Have Expired and $780,.
900 More Must Be Raised.

CHICAGO, May 4.-Will Cricago retain
possession of the Chicago Orchestra?
That is the question which was dis
cussed at a special meeting of the
trustees of the Orchestral Association.
1t Is said that OF the $3.50, 900 necessary
for the permanent maintenance of the
orchestra in a home of its own, only
about $500 900 has been subscribed, thus
leaving a heavy deficit on the subscrip-
ton sheet. The trustees of the associ-
alton are Messrs. Lathrop. George E.
Adams, Joseph Adams, D. II. Burnham.
William L. Brown, c. n. Fay, j. ]. Gless-
ner, Charles D. Hamill Col Frank o.
Lowden. Harold F. Mccormick, Arthur
Orr, Philo A. Otis, and William B.
Walker
The contracts entered into between the
Orchestral Association and the members
of the orchestra expired few days ago,
and now their renewal depends upon the
amount of subscription money raised by
friends of the institution.
1t was reported that certain members
of the trustees were ready to guarantee
sufficient funds and that their expected
guarantees were to be made upon assur-
ances that several men of means ex-
pressed their willingness to subscribe
the shortage.
There was a story told that if the
project of providing a permanent home
for the orchestra went through Mr.
Thomas and his men would be sent
abroad to play in European cities, much
after the fashion of the Straus Orches-
has a reputation among musicians the
world over, and its appearance abroad
would do much for Chicago in an artistic
way.

Enthusiasm Bred by His
Western Trip.
TO BE A FACTOR IN 1904
Belief That He Is a Formidable Can
didate for the Democratic Nomi-
nation Prevails.

NEW YORK, May An the political
armament the star of Grover Cleveland
is in the ascendant Whether il Will
go 10 the zenith-the Democratic Presi-
Dental nomination in 1904-or shine
phosporescently and fade away is a
question that is being forced upon politi-
clans the country over.
Talk OF Cleveland as a Presidential
possibility had grown insistent in re-
cent months, but it remained for events
OF last week to compel serious consid-
GRAFTON of the Princeton Sage" as an
important factor in the Democratic con-
vention next year.
All the reports from st. Louis, where
the former President figured in the dedi-
cation of the Louisiana Purchase Elk
position. agree that the demonstrations
which greeted him at every turn were
remarkable. And St Louis is the me-
tropolis of a State which has been a
gibraltar of Organism.
In considering that phase of the mat
ter it must be borne in mind that st.
Louis last week was crowded with per-
sons in no way representative of Mis-
souri, sentiment, and. further. that ST.
Louis. in it's normal state. is erratic
politically. But. Notwithstanding these
facts, the attitude of the throngs to-
ward Cleveland must make even the
most powerful politicians think, and
think hard.
Greetings Enthusiastic.
The day is not long past when mil
Jiapc of in
pourings of partisan rancor, execrated
the former President. and the suggestion
that he was not eternally dead politi-
cally excited smiles, of derision. Now
when he passes the crowd cheers and
plaudits answer to his every utterance.
Such transformation, whatever its re-
suits, is noteworthy in American
politics.
OF course, the thick-and-thin Bryan
men sneer at the possibility of Cleveland
as a candidate, yet the bitterness OF
their opposition. and it was manifested
more than once in quiet little gatherings
in ST. Louis, bears testimony that they
take the matter seriously-something far
from their thoughts less than year ago
They smiled because the former Presi-
dent rivaled the President in the popular
shouting, yet beneath the smile lurked
the ghost of the fear of what such
demonstrations might mean for them
selves-and the Kansas City platform

SHIPS TO CARRY OWN MODELS.
American War Vessels May Have on
Board Miniature Skeletons
of Themselves.

1t Is probable that In a short time
every snip in the navy will have a
model of herself on board. 1t is known
as a supplementary plan or skeleton
model. The ships of the German navy
have them. At present even officers
sometimes have no clear conception OF
the construction of the hidden parts OF
the vessels. The only ship that now
has q skeleton Of herself aboard is the
turret ship Monterey, commanded by
Commander w. II. Beehler, who was
naval attache at Berlin for several
years. He is perhaps best known to the
public by the fact that the kaiser used to
call him Bill"
Beehler became imbued with the Ger
man ideas while he was at Berlin, and
when he was sent to the Asiatic fleet to
command the Monterey he could not
rest until he had provided his craft
with a skeleton model. He hired Chi
nese carpenters, and for two months
they toiled fashioning a model of the
Monterey to a scale Of a quarter of an
inch to the foot. The model can be taxi
en- apart, and the men serving on the
Monterey can look under the boilers at
any time irstead of having to walt UNI
til the fires are drawn. This fact alone
has saved more than the cost of the
model.
BY means OF the toy ship the warrant
machinists were able to decide that new
set of boilers of a different type could be
put In. Otherwise the question would
have had to be referred to the bureau
of steam engineering In this city, and n
month would have been lost. The model
has been found to be of invaluable bene-
fit in training the men for collision and
fire emergencies. The Chinese carpen-
tiers charged only sll0 for the work.
