BRIDGE WILL BE WONDER
CANADIAN PACIFIC TO BUILD
STRUCTURE MORE THAN MILE
LONG AND 800 FEET HIGH.

Special Is The Journal.
Lethbridge, Alberta, June 26.-The
Canadian Pacific road is now making
arrangements for the construction Of
the proposed steel bridge across the
Belly river at this place and when COM
pleted it will be one Of the world g
wonders.
& The plans, which have been pre-
pared, call for structure q little more
than a mile long and 800 feet above
the water. AS compared with other
bridges Of the world the Brooklyn
bridge Is a little longer and is only 135
feet high. The world-famed Tyne
bridge in Scotland, which was built by
Robert Stephenson fifty years ago, is
only half as long and less than half the
heighth.
fhe Canadian Pacific bridge is to be
built for the purpose Of shortening and
strengthening the route between here
and Macleod. The grade Of the new
line will be much easier and heavy
loads can be. carried at less cost.
The masonry work will be com
menced at once, but owing to the large
amount Of work which the steel mills
have on hand the girders will not be
laid until next summer.

For many years. there has not been
a session of congress in which :. the
house of representatives has taken SO
much time for the consideration of ap-
preparation bills; indeed, the time has
been so much longer than usual that
all estimates as to when certain other
important bills were Hkelylto come up
have been grossly inaccurate, as wit.
ness the successive: dates set for the
consideration Of the pure food bill. In
part this protracted debate has grown

Tawney of Minnesota, which means the
new broom and the accompanying clean
sweep. It is also due in part to the
more careful consideration of appro-
priations this year growing out Of the
condition of the federal treasury. The
sundry civil appropriation bill, which
was passed by the house last week,
consumed nine days. In every session
Of congress for years this bill has been
disposed of in two or three days at the
most, and sometimes in one day. This
more lengthy debate on appropriation
bills is also due in part to the policy

Unprecedented Statement of the Latter's

IHblf rlSufts.
Nashville, Tenn, April eff there
is anything in figures, it would seem to
be impossible for the Cox calculators to
figure that gentleman back into the ex-
exutive chamber after his present acct
dental term expires. The mathemati-
clans are busy around the Cox head
quarters from morning till night, every
night and every day, and stretch the
cloth as they may, they can not make
the garment fit their leader.
II Patterson does not win this noml-
nation, then some of the shrewdest men
that ever put pencil to paper will be
greatly deceived. To illustrate: Pat
terson, with Perry's s, which were in
structed for him today, has total OF
2Sl uncontested votes against 3Sl un-
contested for Cox. There are 246 dele
gates yet to be selected. OF these Cox
can only count as certain Hamblen 5,
James 2, Johnson 2, Loudon 4, and Sc
vier 3-all republican counties, by the
way-total IS. Patterson is conceded
by the Cox men Jackson IL, Lincoln %,
Macon 8, Stewart 10, Trousdale 5, Obi
on 26, Robertson %, total 1903. This
gives Patterson 1888. To these add Clay
8, Greene 81, total of 20. Shelby,
Davidson and Giles with a total of 1911
votes, can be safely counted for Patter-
son. In fact, the Cox men admit that
Shelby and Giles can not be taken from
him, and they only assume to say they
are entitled to 30 in Davidson. These
35 they will never get, as the " dele
gates go to the convention regularly
accredited, and there is no power short
of downright robbery that will keep
them out of the Patterson column.
To recapitulate: For Patterson, in
structed vote, 2Sl. Counties yet to act,
but conceded to him, 100. Clay and
Greene 20, Shelby, Davidson and Giles
100. Total 607.
The counties put in the doubtful col

aggregate vote of 12l. Patterson viii
