BREAKING WEST
The Milwaukee Road Sending Sur
veyors West of the River at
Evarts.
It is Said to be First Move for
Transcontinental Line to the
Coast.

Aberdeen News: Fresh proof OF the
intention of the G. NJ * st. Paul railroad
to extend its line west to the Pacific
coast by way of Evarts is given by the
fact that Engineer Raime of the road,
with seven assistants yesterday went
to Evarts to survey west of that city
directly across the Missouri river. This
announcement is made on good au-
thority and is considered trustworthy.
There is little doubt now but that
the direct route between Chicago and
the Pacific coast will be through Min
neapolis, A berdeen and Evarts. 1t is
considered a fact that the Milwaukee
wiltsbuild from Chamberlain west but
this will only be a spur line and will
connect with the trnnS line near the
Tongue river iiA Montana.
This plan has been in the minds of
the railroad maguatcs since 1882 and
steps via now be taken toward COM
pleting those plans. What has given
fresh impetus TO the project is thought
to be the fact that the Great Northern
is extending across the river to meet
the Burlington system at O'Neill, Neb.
j. j. Hill is said to have promised to
build that line in case he Won the
Northern Securities battle. Now that
he has won the battle he is making
good his promise.
A wire message from Eyarts today
confirmed the report that the survey
ors were there and that they would
probably return to this city soon. They
are said to be the same men who sur
veyed the line from this city to Evarts.

American trade in the Canton and
Yangtse regions. The Chinese are so
satisfied with the movement that they
talk of the boycott as permanent weap-

Tbs newspapers advocate the boycott
of Indian opium because Of the action
of the British assessor of the mixed
court at Shanghai in ordering the im-
peisonment of Chinese women IN the
municipal Jail, instead OF in the Chinese
prison. which caused the recent disturb
ances there.
One result of the present movement IS
to discourage concession hunting. Ihe
Government has adopted a policy OF
Chinese control of railroads, mines and
similar enterprises, refuses TO grant new
concessions and is trying to regain or
annual several concessions previously
granted.
There is no doubt that the aggressive
spirit of the Chinese has been decidedly
increased by the late war and the sue
cesstul maneuvers of the Chinese north
ern army in October. Japan's victory
has encouraged the Chinese to believe
that they could be equally successful.
Foreigners living in cities where the
government is strong are assured OF pro-
lection, but the danger Of lbe presen;
situation lies in possible friction between
foreigners an Chinese where the ofnclals
are weak or Indifferent, leading to iur'
ther outbreaks.
The proposed withdrawal of the re-
naming international troops from China
in the spring has met with opposition
since the Shanghai riots.

Blows Himself Up On Grave.

night at Pottsvile, Pa, by blowing him
self to pieces with stick of dynamite
by the grave of his daughter. He was
employed as a section foreman for the
Reading Company for number of years
and was about so years OF age. About
two months ago his iayoriIe daughter
cied. This grief seemed 10 prey upon
his mind and he grew more de-
spondent day by day, until Monday at
ternoon, when he went to the Lutheran
Reformed Cemetery, where her body was
inferred. There he reclined by the
grave, placed a stick of dynamite on
his chest and exploded it. He was
blown to pieces and only small fragments
were recovered.
