RENO JOURNAL. HAS
ANOTHER PIPE"

A prominent railroad man is au-
thority for the information that tho
Western Pacific will not go through
Winnemucca, thus dissolving the dream
of the eastern Nevada town, which
had not alone figured on itself as u
prominent stopping place along the
line of the new road, but had uttetrei
desire tor the shops and yards.
1t is said that the Western Pacific
will establish a new town ON the north
side OF the Humboldt river, a mile and
half northeast OF Winnemucca,
where everything the latter city
nOped tor will be established.
The trouble is placed on the shoul-
dcrs of two old settlers who have re-
fused to grant the new road the right
OF way, and who have done everything
in their power to obstruct progress,
though they seem to have no object IN
view besides the desire to maintain the
old order of things.
Privileges have been freely granted
the Western Pacific by the remainder
OF the population, and everything has
been done to help the road along.
Muttterings have been heard, and the
two troublesome silurians find them
selves on wave of mpcpularity.-

country had for some years exercised
a suzerainty over the Balkan states Of
Bosnia and Herzegovina, annexed
them and made them a part OF AuD-
trian territory, against the protest of
Turkey, Servia and Montenegro, which
countries had formed a defensive alli-
ance against Austria. Bulgaria and
Germany will be with Austria, while
England, France and Russia having
guaranteed the integrity of the Turk
ish empire, will naturally fight with
that country. England Is first move will
be to send a powerful fleet to seize the
Dardanelles, and thereby protect the
entrance to the Black sea for the com
merce of her allies and herself. This
action will precipitate the greatest war
known to history, which will, without
doubt, change the present map of con-
tinental Europe beyond recognition.

TARS OBJECT TO BEING
BUN BY "SAW BONES
Are Not Sorry Hospital Ship is Over
due-Gossip from the National
Capital

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80. - The
rooms of the House committee on ways
and means, in which the tariff hearings
are being held, is the most luxurious
thing in the way of public office ever
seen in Washington, and there is more
than one Office at the capital which
has been furnished without regard to
expense.
The rooms are in the new four
million dollar House office building.
When the committee was compelled to
move from it's comfortable quarters
on the house floor of the capitol to the
Office building the wailings of Chairman
Serene +. Payne and his associates on
the committee were loud and long. They
regarded it as an outrage that the
premier committee of the house should
be bundled up and carted to other
quarters, just as if it were of no more
consequence that the committee on dis
position of useless papers or ventiia
tion and acoustics, neithes of said con-
mittees having held meeting since the
civil war. Chairman Payne, Mr.. Dal
zell and some of the other ways anu
means committees took the matter to the
floor of the House and made a fight
against the order of removal, but James
H. Mann of Chicago, chairman of the
select committee on House rooms, is a
very determined person and be had his
way. The ways and means eommitte
had to pack up and move, and even the
prospect of having his name attached
to a tariff bill was not sufficient 20
cheer the heart of Chairman Payne
All this was last spring, just before
the adjournment of Congress. Elliott
Woods, superintendent of the Capitol
buildings, sympathized with the grief
of Payne, Dalzell ct al, and he felt
quite sure he knew balm for their
smarting wounds. During the summer
recess he got busy preparing il. Amorg
the ingredients are beautiful red velvet
carpets covering marble floors, substan-
tial and highly polished mahogany fus-
niture and upholstered chairs into
which one may sink as into feather
bed. When the ways and means mem
bers returned to Washington for the
tariff hearings and beheid the glory
that had been prepared for them, ali
was forgotten and forgiven. And
"Jim' Mann, from being regarded AS
a pariah and an outcast, is hailed as a
benefactor.
During the hearings the committee
members sit behind a semieircular
desk having a base of purcst Vermont
marble eighteen inches high. Above
the base are panels of mahogany in the
center Of which is a hand-carved shield
of the United States. The room is to
be lighted ty cut glass chandeliers
which are now being specially mant-
factured and the fine lace curtains for
the windows also are being specially
woven for this room. Mural paintings
are to adorn the walls and there will be
draparies Of velvet of a shade to match
the carpets. On the whole the room
exudes an air of dignity aud compels

Svpremc Court seem like veritable
