RAILWAY LINKS PACIFIC TO CHICAGO.
C.. n. { st. P. Company Announces Plans
for its Extension Across Rocky
Mountains to Tacoma.

Definite announcement of the new
railway from Chicago to the Pacific
coast was made last week by the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad
company. 1t is stated that the ex-
tension to Butte, Mont, for which
contracts previously had been let,
will be finished by Jan. J., 1908. 1t is
now announced that work will be
begun at once on the completion of
the line to Tacoma and Seattle and
that the entire system will be ready
for operation by the beginning of 1909.
From Butte westward the line fol-
lows the Deer Lodge, He'll Gate.
.Missoula and ST. Regis rivers to a
point about four miles west of
Saltese, Mont, where the ascent of
the Bitter Root mountains begins.
st. Paul pass, the summit, is reached
at an elevation of 1900 feet, and a
tunnel $500 feet in length is neces-
sary in crossing this range.
The line follows the drainage of the
st. Joe river to within few miles of
its mouth, and crosses the Idaho WASH
ington state line just east of Tekoa,
Wash.
The Columbia river will be crossed
by bridge of fifteen spans, having a
total length of 1850 feet, exclusive of
steel trestle approac hes 1000 feet in
length at each end.
At Johnson creek summit, about
twenty miles west of the Columbia
river. there will be a tunnel 3. 400 feet
in length, and at Snoqualmie pass
there will eventually be tunnel
about two miles long at maximum
elevation of 1850 feet, but for the
present the operations through the
pass will be by surface line at a
maximum elevation of 500 feet.
At Maple Valley, Wash, connec-
tion will be made with the Columbia
& Puget Sound railroad, over the
tracks of which access will be obtain
ed to the ample terminal property
purchasd at Seattle. A new line will
be constructed from Black River
Junction, WASH, to Tacoma. where
large amount of terminal property
has also been secured.
The eastern section of the new line
extends from the present terminus at
Nlnnhor, n;rh ~. ,,,.l
west of Aberdeen, through the Stand
ing Rock Indian reservation. The
state line between North Dakota and
Montana is crossed at point about
eight miles west of the Little Mis-
souri, river and the road follows the
Yellowstone river from Terry. Mont,
to Forsyth.
Leaving the valley of the Yellow
stone at Forsyth the line follows
Porcupine and Home creeks to the
Musselshell valley, which is fol-
lowed to Harlowton, where connec-
ton will be made with the Montana
railroad.
AT Lombard the line crosses the
Northern Pacific railroad overhead
and the Missouri river by six span
bridge, 600 feet in length, and follows
the Missouri and Jefferson rivers to
the east slope Of the continental
divide, near Whitehall. Between
Whitehall and Butte this divide is
crossed through Pipestone pass at a
maximum elevation of 6, $50 feet. Two
tunnels 2,450 and 1880 feet in
length, and three steel trestles over
deep ravines, from 100 to 100 feet in
height. and from 400 to 600 feet in
length, are the distinctive features of
this portion of the line.

Arrive Tomorrow,

Secretary Taft. who has completed tour
of inspection of the larger military posts
in the west and southwest. with view to
their utilization as brigade posts, has tele-
graphed Mr.. Carpenter. his private secre-
tary, who is now at the War Department,
that he will arrive in Washington about
o'clock tomorrow morning. The return
of Secretary Taft to Washington tomorrow
is in accordance with the itinerary ar
ranged before he left here several weeks
ago. 1t is stated at the War Department
that he has not FASTENED his movements in
consequence Of the situation in Cuba or on
any other account, SO far as is known at
the department.
There is large amount of departmental
business awaiting his consideration which
must be acted upon before the assembling
of Congress. Included in that business is
the preparation of the Secretary's annual
report to the President. That document
viii be of unusual Importance this year. In
addition to treating Of purely military mat
tiers i. will contain radical recommended
tons regarding the Cuban situation, the
government of the Philippines and the
work of constructing the Panama canal.

President Roosevelt having a smile and
kind word for every one. He remained at

the immigration officers and that he had
declined to answer. and that was all there
WAS OF the matter. His statement that he
was an ambassador was apparently suffi-
Client, and he had no complaint TO make.
1t is therefore not diplomatic issue of any
kind. The ambassador has received copy
of the inaugural address of President Pena,
who was inaugurated yesterday as presi-
dent of Brazil. and he read to the Secre-
tary, translating as he went, that portion
of the address referring to the friendly re-
lations between Brazil and the United
States.
The Brazilian embassy made the follow
ing statement today concerning the incl
dent:
What took place on board the Baltic
with the Brazilian ambassador in regard to
the questions ne was asked to answer by
writing. according to the immigration law,
was simply this: When the printed form
was brought to him to fiji out and sign he
said he could not do it in his capacity as a
foreign representative. He d.d not say, as
reported. that he would answer on every
point except about his belief and convic-
tons. That would be the language of So
cial refractory. His ground was that a for
eign minister cannot sign document bind
ing him TO expulsion from the country or
imprisonment in case any of his declara-
tons be found untrue. He simply answered
that he had already presented his creden-
tials TO President Roosevelt and that was
enough. He was most cordially treated by
the officials.
Mr. Nabuco is not at all grieved about
the incident. and regards many of the
stories written about it as a distinct con-
trlbution to humorous literature He said
that many of the reporters who described
his treatment were real playwrights'' of
the first order and should be writing
farces. Surrounded by mass of clippings
the ambassador pointed to them, and
laughed heartily as he described his ex-
perience.
immigration Commissioner Watchorn of
the port of New YORK today made both
written and oral reports to Acting Secre-
tary Murray of the Department of Com
merce and Labor relative to the incident
Mr. Watchorn's reports indicate that Mr.
Nabuco had felt annoyed by the ships
purser, who asked the usual questions in
order to complete his manifest. Apparently
the purser had not taken cognizance of Mr.
Nabucos rank, and had treated him as an
alien, according to the letter of the law.

TO SUCCEED ENDICoTT.
Current Gossip as to New Chief Of
Yards and Docks.

There Is considerable current gossip in re-
gard to the Office of chief of the naval bu
reau of yards and docks, one Of the most
important billets in the naval establish
ment. Rear Admiral NJ T. Endicott, the in
cumbent, will be transferred to the retired
list on the 26th instant on account of age.
He Is a member of the isthmian canal COM
mission and Is now on the isthmus with the
other members assisting in the entertain-
ment Of the President. He is not expected
to return to this city until the first part of
next month.
No one has been appointed to succeed him
at the head Of the bureau Of yards and
docks. and It is probable he will be re-
quested to continue on that duty, despite
his retirement, until the LIST of January, by
which time it is expected the President will
be prepared to act In the matter.
Con Commander nnI'dsd. Robert F. E. Peary, the
bers of the corps of civil engineers of
the navy, and is eligible for the prospective
vacancy in the bureau office. Although he
was appointed to the navy twenty-five
years ago. he has been employed on naval
work less than eleven years, having been
granted leave Of absence during the other
prosecute his arctic explorations. 1t is
currently understood that he desires to
make another dash for the north pole next
year. Commander Peary's present leave
expires next April. II he intends to renew
his efforts in the frozen north he will
have to obtain an extension of leave for
about two years. which would, of COURSE
eliminate him from the contest over the
bureau appointment.
1t is said that with Commander Peary
out of the competition the selection of Adj
miral Endicotts successor rests between
Commander r. c. Hollyday on duty at the
New York navy yard. and Lieut.. A. C. Cum

COUNT IN NEW YORK
HUGHES AND HEARST AHEAD OF
THEIR TICKETS.

NEW YORK, November 16.-Complete
official returns from thrty-five counties in
the state show that both the leading candi-
dates for governor, Charles T.. Hughes re-
publican, and William r. Hearst, democrat
and Independence League, ran ahead of
nearly all their associates on the state
ticket. MIR. Hughes led Nj. Linn Bruce. the
republican candidate, for lieutenant gov
ernor. and who appears from the returns
already in to have polled the heaviest up
state vote of any one on the ticket with the
exception of Mr.. Hughes, by nearly $500
votes in the thirty-five counties.
The vote of seven out of thrty-fve as
semby districts in Greater New York had
been canvassed today. The corrected re-
turns showed a net gain of 112 for Chanler
over Bruce for lieutenant governor, as COM
pared to the vote reported to the police.
The inspection of the void and protested
ballots requested by the republican candi-
dates for state offices below governor was
begun in court today by lawyers represent
ing the democratic and republican parties
and the Independence League. Only when
they could not agree to whether a vote
was void was it submitted to the court for
decision. In two assembly districts ten
ballots which had been rejected as void
were accepted and counted.
