survey for ney railroad begoun this
With the secret of their mission
sealed to the vulgar understanding
of the outside world and their ears
closed to the opportunities of the
newspaper men, a party of railroad
surveyors supposed to be Northern
Pacific employees, under direction of
w. c. Marion, former roadmaster of
the w. & C. r., began driving stakes
of preliminary survey this morn
ing, beginning in the yards of the
w. & C. r. on West Webb street and
extending across the o. r. & N, lines,
westward. toward the bluffs at the
mouth of Birch creek.
The surveying party arrived from
Walla Walla last evening and this
morning organized and began the
survey. c. e. McCumber, formerly
county surveyor of Umatilla county
is chief instrument man, and the
other members of the party are as
follows: w. c. Marion, in charge, F.
w. Guernsey and c. f. Skinner of
Dayton, ]. w. Lyons, w. Lasater,
Grover Burrows, r. M. Hannaman,
and A. w. Stine of walla Walla.
The first stake was driven in the
w. & c. r. yards about 400 feet west
of the freight and passenger depot
and the line extends westward,
crossing the o. r. & N. track at a
point near the east switch OF the "Y"
and continues through the Cunning
ham addition, west of the o. r. & NJ
track toward the foothills at the
mouth of the Tutuilla.
While nothing will be given out
concerning the objective point of the
survey, It is believed and in fact is
said by those who claim to know, that

SURVEY FOR NEW RAILROAD
WAS BEGUN THIS MORNING

this is to be an extension of the w.
&. c. r., which is a branch of the
Northern Pacific, toward the Hepp-
ner and Gurdane coal fields.
About five years ago a party of sur
veyors, supposed to have been North
ern Pacific employees, ran a secret
line from this city around the bluffs
at the mouth of Tutuilla, and up
Birch creek, climbing gradually up
the brow of the hills until they reach
ed the ridge between Birch and Nc
Kay creeks. No stakes were set, but
a line was run and careful notes were
taken at every point
This present survey is thought to
be a preliminary line to test the feas-
ibility of the route followed by that
former party.
w. G. Sayles, of WaIla walla and
a crew of nine men have also begun
a preliminary survey from Athena
eastward, toward the Blue mountains
the objective point OF this line also
being kept In utter darkness. It is
said that route will be sought across
the Blue mountains to Grand Ronde
valley.
Another story concerning the Athe-
ma survey is that a short line is to
be surveyed, now, reaching through
the heart of the wheat belt, and ex-
tending no further than the foot of
the mountains. A half dozen large
warehouses will be built on this
branch. 1t is said, in order to accom-
ri 70
which now largely patronizes the o..
r. & N. at Athena and Cayuse. Tri-
weekly trains will be run over this
new branch, 1t is said, to clear out
the sidetracks and leave wheat cars.

London, March 21.-Based on the
report that can@onading was heard
yesterday seven miles south OF Tie
Pass, the belief is expressed in mill
tary circles that General Rennen-
-kaMpff's division, which was separ-
ated from the main army, has now
just arrived at Tie Pass, which place
was appointed as a rendezvous of all
Russian divisions in case of retreat.
Consequently Rennenkampff is sur
rounded and probably will be fore
ed to capitulate.

of the bar, where 1t is
cut or sawed, shows the work to have
been done for quite while, possibly
for years. 1t could not be detected,
as the top end extended into the
cross iron. thus covering the break.
The bar had been pried to one side
by means of a short two-by-four
board that was left inside yesterday
by the masons who were doing some
repairing inside the jail. The piece
had been secreted by the prisoners,
and escaped the eyes of the officials
Just how the work on the window
was done puzzled the officers for a
time, and at first it was thought that
outside parties had made the open
ing. However, it developed later that
when the prisoners were put into the
cells last night young Murray had
concealed himself on a ledge along
the wall beside the sewer pipe, and
had thus avoided being locked up.
Had he been an important prisoner,
the officials say, the trick would have
been noticed; but as 1t was, 1t worked
successfully. From all appearances
it is probable that during the night
the bar was pried to one side by
young Murray with the aid of the
two-by-four board, and his escape
made. After escaping, some boards
were placed by him TO aid the others
in their descent.
Not Planned by Murray.
1t is the opinion of the officers the
plan for the escape was worked Iout
by Moss or Hockinsmith, and that
they induced the boy to carry 1t oout
as he did, knowing that they would
be detected themselves. Now that

Washington, March 27.-The State Department
has received from United States Consul Schu-
mann, at Mainz Germany. the translation of an
article published in Frankfort, follows:
In the publication 'Hessenland" (No. ?. 1900.
Johann Lewalter gives expression to his opinion
that Yankee Doodle was originally country
dance of a district of the former province of Kur-
Hesse. called the ''Schwalm-
1t is well known that the tune Of Yankee Yankee
Doodle derived from military march played
by the Hessian troops during the War of the Revo-
luton in America In studying the dances of the
SchWalm I.eWalter struck by the similarity
in form and rhythm of Yankee Doodle to the
music of these dances. Last year, at the ''kir
ness of the village of Wasenberg when Yankee
Doodle was played the young men and girls
swung into a true "Schwalmer'' dance, as though
music had been composed for it. During the
of 1776 the chief recruiting office for the en-
listnent OF the Hessian hired soldiers was Zegen
hahn in Kur-Hesse. It. therefore. seems probable
that the Hessian recruits from the "Schwalm
