EXPENSIVE CHANGES.
Pennsylvania to Divert the Course Of
Conemauqh River.

Pittsburg, Feb. 6. - The Pennsyl-
vania is preparing to divert the Cone
maugh river from its present course
in order to avoid building two bridges.
A new channel for the river, a half
mile long, will be dug between the ter
minal points of a curve, almost a semi
circle, which the river now makes.
The center Of the new channel will be
quarter Of mile from the central
point of the old channel. Contracts
for the work will be awarded shortly.
The change in the channel of the
Conemaugh is only a part of the inn
provements which the railroad COM
pany will make this year between Boil.
var and Sheridan on the Pittsburg di.
vision. On this stretch of IS miles
over S5,000,000 will be spent in the
elimination of curves, reduction of
grades and the extension of the third
and fourth tracks. Sharp curves at
Lockport, Cemetery and New Florence
are to be done away with. The grade
is to be reduced from .5 per cent, to
3 per cent. The elimination of the
curves will reduce the length of the
line half mile.

This last application was submitted to

general terms similar to the present
ment originally made by General
Reyes, the present executive head of
Colombia, when he was in Washington
last year as special commissioner
and minister from Colombia. The
amount of damages sustained is not
set down. Secretary Root has the note
under consideration, but it is be-
lleved that nothing has occurred to
change the position originally taken
by the department that the United

the separation of Panama.

demic record is excellent; that so far
as known this case is the only one of
hazing with which he has been con-
nected; that he undoubtedly commit
ted an offense against the military

harsh punishment for single instance
