TILLEUx WE'LL PLEASED.
Says Construction of G. H. & n. Is
Progressing satisfactorily.

Hutchinson, Kan, July 29.-Speaking
of the progress OF work on the Gulf,
Hutchinson & Northwestern Mr.. Til
leuN, who has returned from Oberlin
for a few days, says he is well pleased
with the outlook
Work on the preliminary plans for
the construction of the line are pro-
crossing satisfactorily and before New
Years day the directors of the road
feel confident that trains will be run
from Oberlin to Jennings, over the
first 20 miles of the track laid by this
company. The story of the progress of
the work is an interesting one and is
the story of perseverance in an enter
prise that means much to Hutchinson
and to the territory lying to the north
west of the city when the railway shall
have been built and the country
through here connected with the g@Sat
coal and lumber regions of Arkansas
and on through to the great gulf ports
and on the other hand to the great
region of the northwest as far as Wy
oming and Montana and ultimately to
a Pacific port in the far northwest.
MI. Tilleu&, accompanied by NJ A
Peoples, went to Oberlin, where a mass
meeting of the citizens was held and
stock was subscribed for. Committees
We're put to work. The company asked
miles put in operation, to be paid only
after the cars are running. In addition
the townships through which the road
passes are asked for So, 900 per mile in
DOnOS- Inc asking THESE
elections are now being circulated. In
addition the right of way is to be fur
nished and the citizens committee is
securing this free in most all cases.
Mr.. Tilleux and Mr.. Peoples went
over the proposed routes and later the
engineers, under the direction of Chief
Surveyor Elbury. made preliminary
survey of So miles. This runs from At
wood in Rawlins county, nearly east to
Oberlin, So miles, and then nearly
southeast 20 miles further to Jennings.
Besides this the first line has been look
ed over for the next 75 miles from Jen-
nings to Stockton.
As soon as the bonds are voted, and
Mr.. Tilleux is authority for the state
ment that there will be no trouble to
secure a favorable vote on this, the
actual work of grading will commence
from Oberlin. As soon as the 20 miles
is graded the steel will be the
ground for constructing the track and
the steel will be then laid at once and
the first trains run. Mr.. Tilleux says
that if their present plans carry as well
as they now expect will be the case,
the trains will start before January 1.
1905.
On the first section to be graded
there is a portion where the grading
will be rather heavy on account of the
deep ravines and the hills that must
be crossed. This has been provided for
and the work will soon be in progress
if the promoters are not disappointed.
While here Mr.. Tilleux will careful
ly go over the ground from Hutchin-
son to Great Bend. south of the river,
to get the general lay of the land.

HIS NAME IS LEGLO.
Assassin of Won Plehve Badly Injured
by His Own Bomb.

| st. Petersburg, July 29.-The assas-
sination of Won PlehVe is believed to
be the outcome of a widespread plot.
! existence of which has been suspected
/ for several days. Numerous arrests
have already been made, including
| that of the assassin, young man VINO
is believed to be Finn of the name
of Leglo, who is now in a hospital
perhaps fatally injured by the explo-
sion of his own bomb. An accomplice
of Leglo, also apparently Finn, but
whose name is unknown, has been ar
rested. He had in his possession a
bomb which he tried to throw, but he
was overpowered by the police just
in time to prevent great loss of life.
The assassin wore a brown over
coat and a railroad officers cap. He
stood on the sidewalk just as Min
lister Won Plehve's carriage was about
to cross the canal bridge near the sta
tion- The minister was escorted by a
number of detectives on bicycles. and
one Of them jostled the assassin, who
then rushed into the road and threw
the bomb after the carriage. The mis-
sile struck the hind wheel and ex-
ploded with fearful force killing or
wounding more than a score of per-
sons. Minister Plehve and his coach
man were killed outright and an Off
GER of the guard was fatally injured.
One of the detectives arrested the
assassin.
The police Immediately after the ex-
plosion arrested a suspicious individual
who took refuge in a hotel near the
scene of the tragedy. He carried a
bomb similar to that thrown by Leglo.
AS soon as the police saw the bomb
they scattered, but an employee of the
hotel rushed up behind the accom-
plice and pinioned his arms.
The force of the explosion was so
terrific that it not only broke every
window within a radius of half mile,
but reduced heavy paving stones to
powder heaved up the pavement and
flung a heavy piece of the iron work
of the carriage across the canal, sever
ing thick barge mast, which fell,
stunning the captain of the barge.
Everybody in the street was knocked
down and bruised.
Mr.. Durnovo, who was M. Won
Plehve's assistant, has been appointed
minister of the interior ad interim
AS Minister Muravieff was driving
to the Peterhof palace to report to
Emperor Nicholas the sSaSsination of
Won Plehve. stones were thrown at
him and his carriage windows were
broken The identity of the minister's
asSaflants has not yet been discovered.
The newspapers this morning filled
with very long accounts of the assassina-
ton of Minister of the Interior Won
statesman and comments on his charac-
ter as a man. All the papers agree that
in the midst of his work.
Nothing yet has been discovered to
Leglo. Twenty bystanders were injured
by the explosion of the bomb, but only
seven of them were seriously hurt.
NJ. Won Plehve'S funeral will probably
be held tomorrow.
The newspapers print unusually full and
free accounts of the crime, having been
be placed on news or comment, save as
they might interfere with the work of the
police in unraveliing the conspiracy back
under way.

MOB RULES.
No Legal Authority Now in the Grip
pie Creek District.

Denver, Col, July 2e.-The News today
prints the following from an interview
with President Charles Meyer of the
Western Federation of Miners, who is
here to confer with officials of that or
ganization:
1T is time to call out the troops again
to protect our men in the Cripple Greek
district. There is no legal authority there
now. The sheriff's office can not control
things. A mob controls and our men are
being subjected to white cappings, whip
pings and every sort of brutal treat
ment," said President Meyer.
IF the governor had wanted to be fair
he would have ended martial law, with
drawn the troops and left 80 soldiers there
to deal impartially with all violatorS of
the law. Instead of that he withdrew oil
the troops and left the commission and
mob in control, leaving our helpless men
to the mercy of that mob. He simply in
dorses the mob, asks us to call off the
strike and will not allow our men to go
back. To call the strike off would be to
acknowledge that we were wrong; that
the treatment we have received was right
and that we got what was due u.s..

MOVE CARS BY WATER.
Scheme Promoted for Utilizing Chi
cago River for Freight Traffic.

Chicago, July 29.-If the plans of
the Merchants Lighterage Co. are
supplant the belt line railways in the
transfer of freight between the west
and east and vice versa. The matter
was discussed at a luncheon given at
Manager Waite of Hubbard, Spencer,
Bartlett & Co, which house is inter-
ested in the lighterage corporation.
Those present were Benjamin F.
Winchell, president of the Rock Is
land system; D. Miller, vice president
and traffic director of the Burlington
and other Hill lines, and ]. n. Faith
orn, vice president of the Chicago &
Alton road and president of the Chi
cago Terminal company.
1t is estimated that between 500
and 500 cars of freight are trans
ferred daily between the eastern,
southern and southwestern roads and
the Milwaukee and st. Paul and
northwestern lines. These cars are
taken around the city by the Chicago
Belt Line at an average cost OF IS per
days per car.
The lighterage companynow has two
boats in service. These boats have a
capacity of about twenty car loads
each. If the Alton. Burlington, Rock
Island and other roads agree to be-
come parties to the new scheme d
number of new boats will be added to
accommodate loaded cars, similar to
the lighterage service in New York
harbOr.
According to the plan the contents
of Northwestern and Milwaukee & st.
Paul cars would be transferred to
lighters at connecting points on the
north branch of the river and trans
ported down the river to the freight
terminals of the Burlington and Rock
Island and Alton roads. Freight des-
tined for the east would be delivered
at the docks of the Terminal Transfer
company along the south branch, and
in turn delivered by this company to
the eastern lines. The new scheme
would save both time and money, it
is said.
