time-defying steel and concrete bridge
over the TuolLmne near Empire.
The railroad is expending several mil
lions of dollars in putting bridges over
all of the streams on the line and when
they are completed the Santa Fe will
have set of bridge structures that will
permit of the highest speed and which
will endure many years.
E. P. Osgood head engineer of the
Atlantic, Gulf & Pacific company.
which has the contract for placing the
concrete piers for the new bridge, is
looking for laborers. He states that
from fifty to 100 men will be employed
by his company on the work, which
will take a year. Mr.. Osgood is one of
type of engineers to be found all over
the world, where railroad building is
going on. They blaze the way. and
civilization follows over he steel rails
which their work makes possible.
Mr.. Osgood has recently returned
from 1ndo-China. E. L. Graves will be
superintendent of construction for
the company, and Mr.. Speed will be in
spector of the work for the railroad
company.
The bridge when completed will be
800 feet in length and will represent an
expenditure of about 100000. 1t will be
similar in construction to the bridge
just finished over the Stanisaus near
RiVerbank by the Santa Fe. Huge con-
crete piers will be anchored deep in the
river bed, and over the top will be solid
spans of steel.

German chancellor. The writer re-
lates an anecdote illustrating Herr Bal
Inns intimacy with the emperor. Herr
Ballin was the emperor's guest at the
imperial hunting lodge at Hubertus-
took, and, after a walk together the
emperor, Prince Buelow and Herr
Ballin entered a small room of the
lodge set aside for Herr Ballin.
The room contained a bed. chest of
drawers and one chair. The emperor
swung himself on the chest of draw
ers and Prince Buelow sat on the bed,
while Herr Ballin occupied the only
chair between Them.
New Chancellor
A long, serious conversation ensued,
and then Prince Buelow suddenly re-
marked:
IF any reporter saw us like this we
should read tomorrow that Herr Ballin
is shortly to have a seat in the cab

The emperor added: "Or that he will
be chancellor, my dear Buelow"

ROME. Aug. 19.-There is not the

the question as to whether the tomo

Catholic educational circles all over the

Articles by "Marcellus of the OLD

doubt upon there being anything In the

bones of the first apostle. His latest
letter was in the form of a direct ap-

Is supposed to have been buried in
Rome, and the great main altar in st.
Peters has always been supposed to be
over the tomb. The tomb, so far as
history tells. has never been disturbed.
"Marcellus" hints, however, that at
some time it was desecrated and the
bones removed.
In a way interest in the topic has
been stimulated by the opening of the
tomb of the Emperor Charlemagne by
the consent of the German emperor and
the Catholic authorities and the pho
tographing of rich brocades found
there.

BERLIN, Aug. 19.-The German
dreams of a Teuton-rued Holland are
actively revived by Queen Wilhelmina's s
misfortune, because the probability
once more becomes strong that Ger
man prince will succeed to the heirless
Dutch throne undess the people of Hol-
land alter the succession by special
legislation.
Its legal claimants are all German
royalists. First in the line is the wild
owed young Grand Duke Wilhelm
Ernst of Saxe-Weimar. but as it
would be necessary for him to
renounce his own throne to be-
come king of Holland he is considered
out of the race Next are the three
sons of Prince Albrecht, the regent of
Brunswick, aged respectively 80, 80 and
26. They are the kaiser's cousins and
are members of the Prussian royal
family. Third in line are the hereditary
prince and princess of Weld.
The occupation of a foreign throne
by German prince would not, of
course, place the land in question un-
der the suzerainty of the fatherland,
any more than Roumania or Bulgaria;
but in the case of Holland, whose in
corporation with the German empire
has long been forecasted by certain
militant elements, German ruler
would undoubtedly be regarded as a
first-class guarantee for close relation
ship.
Commerce Forces 1t
During the past six months there
have been specially active efforts on
the part of German chambers of COM
merce and others to bring about the
long-desired customs and postal union
with Holland as the first step In the
direction of political amalgamation
These efforts have not been discour-
aged by numerous indications that the
Dutch are not anxious to enter into
partnership with their powerful east
