Although an appeal to the Supreme

SIX TRACK ROAD
TO NEW YORK.
Pennsylvania Company to Build 1t
From Pittsburg.

1t is said that the orders given by
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
for the resumption of work on the
Greensburg tunnel is but a prelimin-
AIRY step TO the project of making a
six track road from Pittsburg to New
York city 1t is known that this pro-
ject is one that has received the care
ful attention of the company for a
number of years, and it is thought
that the present orders TO build will
be the beginning of the greatest year
of railroad improvement ever known
in the country. Reports from the
southern roads show a steadily in
creasing businessx and in some parts
the movement of cars is equal to that
of the year previous. The Trenton
On. " works have received immense
orders for structural iron from rail-
roads. and over 1.s0O men have re-
turned to work on full time in this
large plant The government appro-
priations for buildings, which were
large, have also furnished structural
iron works all over the country with
plenty OF business.

PRAISES THE ENLISTED MEN.
Secretary of Navy, Back at Washing
ton, Talks About the Fleet.

Twenty-four battleships will be re-
viewed by President Roosevelt in
Hampton Roads, February %, next,
the date of the return of the Atlantis
battleship from its world cruise 1t
has been determined that the new
ships, Wisconsin and Nebraska, con-
siructed on the Pacific coast, shall
be assigned to the Atlantic fleet, and
will make the return cruise with that
organization The battleships Maine
and Alabama, which made the cruise
to San Francisco, will make quick
run together, leaving that port early
IN June, and reaching their home
station in October.
Secretary Metcalf, who has just re-
turned from reviewing the feet at
San Francisco, expressed himself as
deeply impressed with the benefit the
cruise has had on both ships, officers
and men.
1T is remarkable" he said, that
the long cruise should have benefited
the ships, but this is a fact. The con-
dition of their machinery is said to
be improved instead of deteriorated
by the voyage The cruise has de-
veloped an understanding and friend
ly cnrdialiiy between officers and en-
listed men which has never before
existed, and even still more imports
ant as an improved condition is the
conduct and feeling OF the enl sted
men themselves
Il have no hesitancy in Sang ;,:st
You could not pick at random twert,
thousand university men throughout
the country who would give a better
account of them selves than the TWEEN
ty thousand men which constitute the
pesonnel of the fleet The enlisted
men come from the interior of the
country and are energetic and self
respecting"

miral Robley ID. Evans, late COM
mander-in-ch OF the Atlantic fleet.
to duty with the general board of the
navy. which has TO do with the prep
arations of plans for naval campaigns,
for use in time of war. After the
admiraps retirement in August it is
probable that he will be detailed for
special duty" with the board.

HAM FILES SUIT CHARGING
VIOLATION OF RIGHTS
AND ASKS FOR RE-

POINTED.

the Marion county superior court on
Tuesday by James Bingham, attor-
ney-general, against the Indianapolis
Brewing company, the Terre Haute
Brewing company, the Capital City
Brewing company, the Home Brew
ing company and the American Brew

The encouragement alleges that
these companies are wantonly flag
ranting the laws of the state, and are
continually and persistently abusing
their corporate powers. He asks for a
judgment dissolving the defendant
corporations, charging Is separate vi
olations of their charters, citing exam
piles of their equipping, maintaining
and operating bawdy houses and
houses of designation both in con-
neosion with saloons and separate
therefrom. and violation of the state
temperance laws.

BILLION-DOLLAR
SESSION NEAR END.
Senators and Representatives Expect
to Turn Backs on Capital This
Week.

Both houses of the Sixtieth Con-
gress began business Monday with
the idea that this will be the last
weweek of the session Before the
week ends it will have earned the
title OF a billion-dollar Congress
1t IS estimated that the total appro-
priation will reach the enormous sum
OF $1,026, 100000, which is laid TO be
the largest amount ever, appropriated
at a single session.
The various items contributed to
make up this prodigious aggregate,
are as follows: S,lndry civil, s12O,0Oe,-
900; legislative, executive and judicial,
s33.OOO,0 900; army, 95,3s2. 900, post
office, 1921, 10000; pensions $685.
100000; Notifications, s11, 100000; ag-
riculture, Sl1, 624 900; District OF Co.
lumbia, s11, 100000; diplomatic and
consular, S4,OO0,0OO; naval, 1922, Co.,
coo; Indian, $4,000, 200; urgent delc-
. iency, s26,OOO,OOO; public buildings,
s25,OO0,OOO; general deficiency, ST.
100000; military academy, new immi-
grant station at Philadelphia, relief
of cyclone sufferers in the south, etc,
S1,5aO,O00; permanent annual appro
priations, S154, 1000, 900.
These appropriations are for the
fiscal year, which begins July 1, 1905
1t is too early to give anything like
an accurate estimate 81 the revenues
of the Government during that period
of twelve months but members oil
the appropriations committee think
they will run somewhere between
100000 and 5000, 100000. THIS
would mean a deficit OF between
S125, 100000 and S175,OOO,OO0. Chair
man Tawney of the oHuse committee,
warned the House last week th.t the
deficit would reach $15O,OOO,OOO, and
if this prediction is fulfilled the sur
plus now in the Treasury will be
wiped out by June 80, 1909, inasmuch
as at the end of this fiscal year there
will be a deficit OF between O,OO0,-
600 and sos, O0O,O Oc.

TEAM--HELD IN

Oran Perry, Adjutant- General of In,
diana, has just received letter from
Albert S. Jones, secretary of the Ma
tional Rife Association, announcing
plans for the Olympic rifle matches,
which will be conducted at Bisley,
England, July 9, 10 and II. He has
also received copy of letter which
was sent to Elihu Root, Secretary t

embassy at Washington This letter
announces a Jubilee of the Emperor
and the sixth meet of the Austrian
societies which will take
place at Vienna from the 2Sth of June
10 the 18th OF July of this year
While Indiana riflemen have an op-
portunity TO take part in both of these
events, it is not thought likely that
any will attend the jubilee of the Aus
trian emperor The rifle match at
Bisley, England, is more of an official
international affair and Indiana will
attempt to be represented Her sue
cess in this attempt depends altogeth-
err on the prowess of her riflemen The
team which will represent the United
States at Bisley, will be made up of S
marksmen and competition is open to
all rifemen who desire to take part
Between now and the time for the
Bisley matches contests will be held
in this country to determine the per-
sonnet of the United States team.
Detailed plans for these contests have
not yet been announced.
Application for entry in the contest
is to be made to Mr. Jones, of the
National Rifle Association, and the
names will be presented by General
Perry General Perry says he will
present the name of any rifeman who
desires to try for a place. Already
he has presented the name OF Capt
Herbert Mcbride, Company d, Sec

Bride IS known as a marksman oil

the team must do so with the under
standing that the team will be as

turn to this country until July 90. Al
Of the expenses of the riflemen on the

paper whose editorials he does not

to the postofice appropriation bill

Any matter which, in the judgment
OF the postmaster general, incites to
arson, murder or assassination is, ac-
cording to the proposed amendment,
to be interpreted by the postmaster
