WILL SHORTEN COAST LINE.
Northern Pacific to Build Cutoff in
Montana.

Helena, Mont, Dec. 25.-It is re-
ported that the Northern Pacific will
soon begin the grading of a cutoff
which will leave the main line at or
near Miles City and, following a
course directly westward, will strike
the present road not far from Helena.
This construction will involve about
$50 miles of new track, but will short
en- the distance between St. Paul and
Seattle at least 140 miles. It will OBJ
viate the necessity of double track,
which has been under contemplation.
The invasion of the Northern Pa
ciflc territory by the coast extension
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St..
Paul requires the building of the pro-
posed line in order to protect large
traffic in Montana now enjoyed and
which otherwise would be secured by

STATEN ISLAND NOTES.

TRENTON, \. j., Feb. 6:--GOv.
Stokes submitted to the legislature
last night a letter from Mayor Nc
Clellan requesting his cooperation in
securing a modification of the act of
last winter which prevented the TAX
ing of water from the Passaic river
to supply Staten Island, so as 10 Sc
cure exemption from its provisions
for the city of New York to the extent
of supplying the borough of Rich
mond. Mayor Mcclellan pointed out
that the location of Staten Island
prevents its supply from the reser-
voirs of New York.
The letter stated that the govern
ment has important Notifications on
the island, as well as lighthouses,
marine hospitals and other institu-
lions which have to be provided with
water from the regular city supply.
The MAYOR added that it is hoped
that within a few years sources of
water supply will be developed in
New York and aqueducts constructed
which will enable that city to furnish
all the water needed for the island.
Prominent engineers. the mayor
said, have expressed the opinion that
New Jersey could not be injured by
permitting the taking of all the water
required by Staten Island for a per-
iod of ten wears at least.
To this letter Governor Stokes re-
piled that the principle of the states
right 10 preserve its potable waters Is
now at issue before the Court of Err
rors.
Pending a decision on that princi-
pie he doubted whether the legisla-
ture would favor a modification OF
the law, but in view of the source Of
the request and with a view of pre-
serving the comfy Of the two states
he promised to refer the matter to
the legislature for consideration.
