TBpeclal Correspondence or The Bee. ) The United Status transport Senator arrived here on October 22 with a battalion of the Twenty- third Unitwl States Infantry and recruits tot for the First Oregon. It was followed by the { Valencia an the 27th , which carried a baU tallon of Washington volunteer * and two batteries of California heavy artillery. I3oth transports are still In port , but expect to call for Manila In a few days. The Arizona elio arrived from Hong Kong on the 27th , nft r a twenty-five days' trip , leaving Ma nila on October 2 and Hong Kong October 12. It brought six sick Roldlers and mall from Manila , reporting one death at sea , a private of the Fourteenth United States In fantry. There was considerable mall re turned for the Nebraska recruits , which had been addressed to Manila and afterwards forwarded and for awhile the boys had the pleasure of reading a number of old letters , Homo dated as far back as June 22. It was amusing to hear the various Items of Inter est that were read. One letter brought us the news that Santiago had surrendered ; an other snys hie mother had u cuppoard full t > f plea and cakes baked for the Fourth of July. The Arizona has been ordered here to ( topped here when on their way to Manila , frhe order Is still In effect , but It Is nut probable that wo will embark before the 10th or 12th of the month on account of the prevailing epidemic of typhoid fever. It eccriis to have struck the camps of both McKlnlcy and Otis. Saturday last , under the ndvlce of the surgeons , the camp was moved to a change of ground. Every tent and floor was thoroughly fumigated. Every man In the tents from which patients were taken rwas required to boll every stitch of cloth ing , as well as his equipment , placing the camp virtually In quarantine , with the In tention of allowing any cases of fever that May bo among the men to develop before embarking on the transport ( ot Manila and tby freely using disinfectants to prevent any pew cases from starting. At the present date there are In the gen eral hospital 230 patients , of whom the greater number are fever. Sunday broke itho record with four deaths , three of which ( were members of the First New York und the other one of the Colorado recruits. NrlirimUn lloy' Death.

( Correspondence of The Bee. ) Camp Otis lane no more. At 8 o'clock yesterday morning jtho tents wore struck and baggage loaded ' 'on the big trucks that > were provided for aoh company. At 10 o'clock , headed by the I band of .the First New York regiment , which was kindly volunteered by them , the troops took up the march to the Pacific Mall wharf. They immediately embarked on the transport Arizona , bound for Manila. Shortly Afterward , amid cheers and waving of flags by the people ot Honolulu , the Arizona . slowly steamed out into the bay and dropped anchor about two miles from shore until ready * to sail , which was generally under stood would be the 10th lust. The boys have bad a pleasant stay In the Hawaiian Islands and have made many friends. Tim citizens of Honolulu hare given the soldiers a royal welcome to their city and their opcn-heartcil bospltallly will long be remembered by all. tfho troops aboard are the same lot that was i brought from San Franclaco by the Arizona eleven weeks ago and temporarily dumped off here , when that vessel proceeded on Its way to Manila. The battalion consisted of the Eighteenth United States Infantry , re cruits for the Tenth Pennsylvania , First Colorado and First Nebraska , numbering l.OOC. There will bo about 175 men left be hind sick In the general hospital , who are unable to go. Of this number forty-three are Nebraskans.

In the harbor , besides the Arizona , are three other transports loaded with soldiers bound for Manila. The Ohio with two bat tailous of Washlncton volunteers and the In diana with the Twentieth Kansas arrived a few days ago. Yesterday morning the Zea- Inndfa pulled Into port with the Tcnnessojnns and In all probability will leave together for the Philippine Islands , but will not stay to gether , ns the Arizona la much the fastest steamer. Today Is election and aboard the transports It has been a lively day , ns vol unteers at the front are allowed to vote where ballots and poll books have been for warded to them. On the transports the entire - tire day has been spent In preparing ballots and registering. On the Arizona the Pennsylvania recruits were the only troops receiving ballots from their state. The Ne braska men cannot see why they should have been overlooked by their state and not given n chance to vote for their favorite candi date ! ! , but not discouraged In this the boys decided to hold an Impromptu caucus and let the people of Nebraska know their choice. Corporal R. G. Douglas , a rising young poli tician and newspaper man from York , acted In the capacity of chairman and after a careful polling the following result was ob tained. The voting being on the head of the two tickets : First battalion Hay ward and Murphy , republican , 69 ; Poynter nnd Gilbert , fusion , 24 ; three refusing to vote. Second battalion Hayward and Murphy , repub lican , 54 ; Poynter and Gilbert , fusion , 20 ; four refusing to vote.

"There will be more railroad building In the state of Iowa during the coming year than for twenty years , I believe , " remat-ked Contractor James McShnne , Who will today start the work of grading the flrsl fifteen miles of the Illinois Central road out of Council Bluffs. This opinion Is shared by all who have been keeping tab on the work of the many surveying parties and locating engineers who have been working In all parts of Iowa during the last six months. In addition to the building of the Illinois Central between Fort Dodge and Council Bluffs , It Is accepted as a certainty In rail road circles that the Chicago Greal West ern , popularly known as "the Maple Leaf Route , " will have a line Into Omaha within a year. This fact Is known to the men back of the Omaha Bridge & Terminal railway , which Is now endeavoring to secure permis sion from the city to extend Us terminal lines Into the heart of town. It Is also known in the higher circles of Ihc Union Pacific , which road has been keeping close watch of President Stlckney on his several visits to Omaha and Council Bluffs within the last three months. Confirmatory evidence of the coming of the Great Western Is furnished by the ap pearance of eight civil engineers , represent ing tbe rallr t d , in Council Bluffs , who arrived last week. They arc In charge df the locating engineer of the Great Western , and so far their -work has been mostly In the country Just south of the town of Coun cil Bluffs. The fact that the surveyors are working to the south of Council Bluffs has given rise to the opinion that the new road will como west from Aftou. Junction , la. , or thereabouts. How it Will Come. Afton Junction is located on the Great Western's line running from Dee Molnes to Kansas City If the extension were made from this line into Council Bluffs tt would mean the building of about 120 miles or road. The line would run between the Hue of the Rock Island on the north and ot the Burlington on tbe south. The atrip ot territory between these two Iowa lines Is wider than that between any other two lines across the state and is sufficiently de veloped to make a new railroad through there appear profitable. If this Is the route the Great Western Is going to take to get Into Omaha It will upset the plans of those who have been looking for the Great Western to build from Hampton , In the northern part of Iowa and thereby af ford a more direct outlet to St. Paul and the north. There are a number of other railroad projects in view for the state of Iowa dur ing the coming year. It is understood in local railroad circles that both tbe North western and the Rock Island systems will do some railroad building that has been delayed through years that have 'not been greatly profitable to railroads. Surveyors have already begun work on an extension ot the Rock Island road from Rose Hill to Marshalltown , practically par alleling the Iowa Central route. The sur vey was started at Rose Hill , a small town In Mabaeka county , ten miles cast ot Oska- loosa , on the Washlngtotn branch of the Rock Island. The survey will proceed north west to New Sharon and Lynnvllle , pierc ing the exclusive territory of the Central. From Lynnvllle the line will be projected to Newburg , north of Grlnnell , and thenc directly north to Marshalltown. For several months the Northwestern has been making preparations to shorten Its line from Omaha to St. Paul. Branching off the main lines at Denlson , a line la now building from there lo Wall Lake , from which point the Northwestern has a line to Sac City. Now the final survey has just been completed for another new line from Sac City to Algonn , by way of Fonda , Pocahontas and Rolfe. Pocahontae counly is fertile ter ritory ( or this line , as Its county seat , Poca hontas , is the only county seat in the state without a railway and the new line will go through other untraversed townships. From Algona the Northwestern has a line to St. Paul , which will complete the through line , the shortest between Omaha and St. Paul. The Sac Clty-AIgona line will be built In the early spring. Among other railroad work laid out for the state of Iowa this fall Is the changing of the track of the Burlington & Northwest ern , an auxiliary line of tbe Burlington i system , from narrow guage to standard I guage between Burlington and Oskaloosa , a , distance ot ninety-five miles. An extension , ot eighteen miles will also be built from Oskaloosa to Knoxvllle. WILL BRING TUB ALTON TO OMAHA. 1'rt-n. SHIlvreU' 1'lnn for ConHolIiln- tloii McniiK .Another Great S > Hlem. In the Chicago VTrlbune's Sunday Issue Is found the following concerning a railroad deal of vl al Importance to Omaha : President A. E. Stlllwell of the Kansas City , Plllsburg & Gulf road is the head of the syndicate which holds an option on the Chicago & Alton railroad and a consoli dation of the Alton and the Kansas City , Fort Scott & Gulf road Is contemplated. It Is also intimated that the Baltimore & Ohio will figure in the deal. J. McD. Trimble , general solicitor and a director of the Plttsburg & Gulf road , is conducting tbo negotiations In this city for the purchase of the Alton road , with Presi dent J. J. Mitchell of Ihe Illinois Trust and Savings bank , with which the Alton securi ties have been deposited. President Still- well Is in New York perfecting arrange ments with the capitalists who are to fur nish the funds necessary for the purchase. All the money necessary to complete the deal , It Is said , has been subscribed and It Is expected tbo deal will be perfected in a day or two. Mr. Trimble , who is at the Great Northern hotel , frankly admitted that he was here on business connected with tbe Alton deal. He said the negotiations for the purchase of the road were being carried on between him and Mr. Mitchell , to whom the Alton Inter est ! bad been Intrusted by President Blackstone - stone and the other prominent holders of Alton stock. President Stillwcll. ho Bald , waa the principal person interested in the deal and ho bad plenty ot eastern capital back ot him. Only a few minor details have to be arranged to complete tbe deal. Mr. Trimble said he could not say at this time who are the men composing the syn dicate of which Mr. Stlllwell is the ac knowledged head. They are Influential east ern capitalists , he said , some of them being now Interested In the Kansas City , Pitta burg & Gulf system. He denied the report \ that Pierpont Morgan was the power behind : Mr. Stlllwell In this deal. Ho would not : state what price the Alton holders asked for their securities. Well posted men , who are close friends of both Mr. Trimble and President Stlllwell. say tbe price asked for the slock Is $180 a share and that $175 has been offered. .There Is little dancer of the deal falling through , as the syndicate does not Intend to relinquish Us option. Presi dent Stlllwell aud those associated with him exuetit to inako a good thing out of tbo deal. deal.Tbe Tbe capital stock of the Alton amounts lo 133,010.250. of which { 22.230.CCO Is in stocks. ) S,92S,8SO in bonds and J3.850.SOO In securities of auxiliary lines. The property , It ? is said , could not be duplicated today for double that amount. The charges on bonds are 6 and 7 per cent , but most of them ex- pfre in 1003 , when they can bo refunded at ftom 3 to 4 per cent. Up to two years ago the\ Alton bad steadily paid an 8 per cent tttt U ba MJ4 1P" K owing to the financial and business dcprra-i Ion. With the Interest charges reduced onu-half and buslneiw In good condition Ihe road could easily be made to pay a r. per cent dividend on doUblt the amount ot Block It now holds. Here IB .where th syndicate expects to make Its. money. About 140,000,000 In bonds and from $20,000.000 to $30,000,000 In stock are to bn Itsurd. which will Just nbout dnuhlo the present r amount of bonds and stocks. - consolidation with the Kansas City , Plttsburg ft Qulf road , U is claimed , will make tbe Alton one tf the grandest railroad systems In the west and put U on a par with the Burlington and Hock Island sys tems. Aside from securing a direct outlet to the Gulf of Mexico from Kansas City , U will bo extended to Omaha and the roost Important cities In Iowa. The Qulncy , Omaha ft Kansas City , the Omaha ft St. Louis end the Kansas City & Northern , connecting roads now owned by the Gulf , will give the Alton the outlets for the want of which It has beep suffering for years. The construction of only about fifty miles of road from Roodhouso to Qutncy , III. , Is necessary for the Alton to connect with the Omaha and Kansas City branches ot the Oulf. The Gulf has also acquired a controlling Interest In Ihe M. K. Jesaup line from Qulncy to Keokuk and Is about to begin construction of a line to Dos Molnes. With these outlets the Alton will become a dangerous competitor of the Bur lington , the Hock Island and the Milwaukee & St. Paul roads , but will crowd the Bur lington tbe most. President Stlllwell. U la said , intends to punish the Burlington because he acquired Ihe Qutncy line , expecting he could make a traffic agreement with that road. The Bur lington , however , concluded a deal Instead with the Missouri. Kansas & Texas road to furnish It with an outlet to the gulf. The opinion Is rapidly gaining ground that the men who are reorganizing the Balti more & Ohio railroad are backing Mr. Stlll- well and mean to bring their road Into the Alton-Gulf combination. The Baltimore & Ohio would round up the combination and create a direct through line from Philadel phia and Baltimore to Kansas City , Omaha and points In Iowa. The Baltimore & Ohio makes direct connection \\lth t lie "Alton at Chicago , Springfield , III. , and St. Louis , Mo. The Burlington Is nnw the principal western connectlcn of the Baltimore & Ohio at Beardstown. Rlmnite in Denver Special. DENVER , Colo. , Nov. 20.
