'Tho statement published lust Saturday
morning to tlio oftcet that the war dopart- _
mcnt had selected a site for the now" Port
Omaha was entirely without authority , "
said Chief Clerk Twoedalo , of the war de
partment to-day. "Tho matter Is hold up
until the return of Secretary Proctor , nnd
no decision has bc'en reached yet. } t seems
that there Is a decided disposition on the
part of mony of the business men of Omaha
to disapprove the abandonment of the pres
ent site. lean glvo : vou no information con-
coring the decision of the secretary , and
Gcncrnl Schollold , who is acting secretary of
war , Is not prepared to take any action In
this matter during the ubscco of the secre
tary. "
This was all the Information that could bo
secured after vigorous inquiries in the de
partment by TUB BEE correspondent to-day.
The chief clerk of the quartcrmastcr-geu
oral's ofllco said In response to inquiries :
i "This department has no knowledge what
ever of the action of the board. It has never
been brought to the attention of the quaKor-
mnstor-genoral , and whatever action is taken
will bo taken solely by the secretary of war.
Of course , after hu renders his decision It
will bo reported to this olUco and the neces
sary steps will bo taken to acquire tltlo to
the property selected , but up to the present
tune wo have received not n word concerning -
ing the selection of a site since the llrst
Blips loofunc to that end were taken some
months ago. "
VTOUMW'T TAKE IT ON A. flOLD PLATTEll.
It has been frequently asserted In political
circles hero thai-President Harrison Intends
to offer the vacancy on the supreme court
bench to Hon. Walter Q. Grcsham , now of
Illinois. Close personal and political friends
of Judge Grcshaui , hnwovor , Bay that no
would not take that position nr any other In
the gift of the administration if it should bo
offered him on a golden platter. The fact is ,
thcso gentlemen do not want to sco their
friend and favorite placed In any position
where ho would bo practically shelved awya
from higher political honors. Tnoro is no
authentic ! reason to bollovo that President
Harrison over contemplated tendering the
place to Mr. Grcsham , who will , without
doubt , try conclusions with nil other
comers for the presidential nomination
in 1803. Mr. Grcsham has had some of his
political friends hero recently , and It is un
derstood that they have been hunting for the
reported disgruntled republicans with the
idea of forming a combination with them In
the interest of their friends . for the next
republican convention for the presidency.
As far as co * do learned they have had but
llttlo success in this quest. The disgruntled
republicans , of suQlciont Importance' to beef
of value , have failed to materialize , and it is
only among a few anxious seekers for placca
who have been unable to jot at the crib up to
the present tlrno that the least growling is
heard.
KEBIU8KAN8 INTJIItESTED.
There is qulto a commotion in Nebraska
circles to-day over the president's announce
ment of the appointments for the land of-
llccs in Utah. It is known that Mr. Hall , of
southeastern Nebraska , was indorsed by
Senator Mauderson for ono of theao places ,
and the statement was made bcforo congress
adjourned that _ Mr. Ball was slated for
cither register or receiver at Salt Lake.
The president was quite determined that
Ball should have ono of the Oklahoma land
oflicus , In order perhaps to let Sounders infer
for commissioner in Utah , but the delegation
named Roberts , of David City , ana this
was supposed to have slated Hall
for a land ofllco in Utah , as
Hall was ono of the president's especial
friends. The query now is , what will ho defer
for him ? Thus far the delegation has Egan
for the Chilian mission , erroneously charged
toNobraska.it scorns ; Captain Stidgcr , ot
Or nnd Island , for special land agent , located
in New Mexico , at ? 1SO ( ) per annum : Pick-
eroll , of Beatrice , special agent of the agri
cultural department at $ . ' 1.000 per annum ;
Harding , of Oakland , in the public printing
ofllco ut $1,000 ; Michael , of Missouri ,
in the printing ofllco , at $1,800 ; Slaugh
ter for United States marshal , Peters for
collector , Qillcspio for register at O'Neill ,
and probably Ashley , of Burt county , for
agent of the Winnobagoes ,
HEIUOUS CUAltQES
nrn on fllo with the secretary of the interior
department against Agent Warner , of thq
Winnobags reservation , and charges are also
on fllo against the register of the land ofllce
at Cluaron. and the outlook now is
th'at the administration will not hesitate
to remove the register and receiver there if
nny reasonable ground exists , especially in
the face of the determined attitude of demo
cratic ofllclals generally to hangon under re
publican rule. The democratic friends here
of the Chadron land ofllccrs are advising
these oOldals to resign to save themselves
from the political disgrace of a removal.
OITUEN8 Of OKLAHOMA.

tion of certain homestead entries which con-

Mr. Stobkslagor , who was a clerk
in the pension ofllco up to the 15th
of April , speaks in glowing tornis of the
wonderful energy and enterprise ot the citi
zens of Guthrlo. Ho says that there arc al
ready several brick yards anil forty-two
lumber yards In town : that au clod-
trio light plant has boon estab
lished and Is now lu worultitf order ;
that arrangements uro Doing effected for the
building "of a line of strcot railway , and that
every thing points to a prosperous future.
Lota which on the ! Wd of April wuro portions
of ono vast uninhabited territory , have been
eold as high us 1,1)00 each. Mr. Stonk-
slagor says bo thinks the values :
are fictitious to some extent , but he has no
doubt that the future of this wonderful now '
town is assured , and that within a very short
time it will compare favorably with many of
the larger cities of the uast and west. If the
territorial capital should ho settled In
Guthrlo ho believed that its future growth
will warrant the faith its founders have in .
It. Ucgardlng the reports of violenca there ,
Mr. Stockslagcr says that there have been
but two deaths in the town smco it was

occurred the day before ho loft. The other

A Scnsatlonnl Day.
CHICAGO , June 11. It was given out at
an cnrly hour this morning that James
Moron , a driver in tho'employ of the ice
firm of McGlnnls & Moran , of Lake VIew ,
was arrested late last night , and is hold as n
witness In the Crouln case. It is alleged
that on the evening of Dr. Cronin'a disap
pearance Moran , in company with another
man. was seen In the vicinity of the Carlson
cottage.
In the Cronln Inquest this morning , John
O. Garrlty , a saloonkeeper , testified that ho
was acquainted with Detective Coughlln ,
now under indictment for complicity in the as
sassination. Witness declared that Coughlln
came to him and said ho wanted to hlro a
tough character known as "Major" Samp
son , to slug a man. Witness told Sampson
about it , and a few days later Sampson told
him ( Garrlty ) that the man Coughlln wanted
slugged was Dr. Cronm. Ho wanted him
slugged with a base ball bat and disfigured
for life. If it killed him It wouldn't make
much difference. ,
J. D. Haggerty , railroad clerk , gave most
Important testimony thlo morning. After
the trial of Dr. Cronln , ho said Alexander
Sullivan told him that Dr. Cronln was a
scoundrel and a menace to the Irish cause.
IIS was the Impression ot the witness that
Sullivan was trying to express the opinion
that Cronln should bo exterminated. The
witness was of the same-opinion at that time.
About that tinm a circular had been issued
saying that many Scotland Yard detectives
SIh
had left England for America to try and flnd
out some of the secrets of the order and
every person who was a member was on the
lookout for informers. All that time Sulli
van was not aloao in his opinion. LO Caron ,
who was a friend of Alexander Sullivan ,
was a member of the committee which tried
Dr. Cronm. Ho was Introduced.to the wit
ness by Sullivan at the trial as a man worthy
of-conlidcnco in the Irish cause. Ho was
opposed to Dr. Cronin at the time on account
of the statements of Alexander Sullivan.
At the afternoon session a number of wit
nesses were examined'without developing
anything of importance. Chief of Police
Hubbard was sworn and told of an interview
which ho had had with \Voodruff , the liorso
thief. Hubbard asked him what ho knew of
the : Cronln matter and if ho really was the
ono who drove the trunk from the Carlson
cottage. Woodruff said-he was , and ho then
described the cottage.
"Ho said , " continued the chief , "ho took
the trunk about midnight on May 4. Ho had
been given $25 by two men the day before to
do the job. At 11:20 : p. m. on May 4 , two
meni according to agreement , rapped on the
door of DInan's stable. Ho opened the door
and lot out the horse with raps on its feet
and hitched it to a wagon. They then drove
to within ono hundred feet of the Carlson
cottage. Ho was then told to wait and the
two men loft him and wont Into tba cottage.
They 1t 1 remained there five minutes and then
beckoned him to drive up. Ho did so , and
two men , King and Fairburn , and a third
man came out with a heavy trunk.
The third man was R. O. Sullivan. When
dt the t trunk was put in the wagon Sullivan re
turned to the house. Woodruff , with King
and Fairburn , drove on Lincoln avenue to
Fullerton avenue , thence to Lincoln pork.
The men Intended to take the trunk and its
1C
contents in a boat out on the lake and sink
them t , but owing to the bright nlghtand the
presence I of strangers , they changed their
minds and drove back. When they reached
the 1t t man-hole on Fifty-ninth street they tried
to 1I 1 dumo the trunk into it , but falling they
knocked 1I I the trunk openhaving lost the key ,
and I took the body from It and throw it into
the I man-hole. Woodruff was then told to
drive ( off. "
The chief was askedin regard to the
grounds on which McDonald and Mnronoy
were arrested in New York to-dny. With
regard to the man McDonald , who seems to
bo the most important of the two prisoners ,
Hubbard said :
"VVo attach no great Importance to the ar
rest , as all the follow has to do with the case ,
so far as wo know , Is this : Ho is a well
known Now Yorit crook , nnd was absent
from Now York at the time of the murder ,
and wo think ho was hero , but wo don't know
yet. Ho can not or will not tell where ho
was on May 4 , but that doesn't prove ho mur
dered Crouin or had anything to do with the
crime. "
"It is learned that the Carlsons can ident
ify him as the man who rented the cottagol"
"Bah , sheer nonsense. "
' And that ho was , lu nil probability , the
man who drove the doctor away ! "
OTho chief's reply.though inolegentwasthe
expressive ; "Hats ! "
Luke Dillon , of Philadelphia , on whoso In
formation the arrests wore made , declined to
say on what grounds.
State's Attorney Longeneckor would talk ,
however , if Dillon would not.
"The men are arrested and there is noth
ing to conceal now. Maronoy is the man who
is suspected of driving the doctor from the
ofllco to the Carlson cottage. About the other
man I don't Know so much , but wo expect to
prove ho was In the conspiracy. Muronoy Is
a laboior , I think , and McDonald Is a black
smith. I got this infprmatlon from Dillon ,
and wo will learn how much truth there Is In
U later on. "
VF.UWCT OF THE COHONEU'S JDKV ,
The following is the full text of the vor-
dlct of the coroner's Jury : "Wo , the under
signed Jurv , appointed to make Inquiries
according to law as to how the body viewed
by us came to its death , state our verdict
from thu evidence.
" 1. That the body is. that of Patrick II.
Cronln , known as Doctor Cronln :
'J. That his death was not from natural
cause , but by violent means.
"a That said Patrick H. Cronin was de
coyed from homo on North Clark street on
the ovenlng of May 1 , 1880 , by some parson
or persons , to the oottaga known us the
Carlson cottage , situated at No. 18713 North
Ashland avenue , in Lake View , Cook county ,
Ills.
" J. That at said cottage the said Cronin
was murdered by Doing beaten on the head
with sonio blunt instrument in the hands of
some person or persons to us unknown , on
the night of said May 4 , or botweoa May 4
and May 5 , 1S39.
" 3. That the body after said murder was
committed was placed in a trunk and carried
to Udgowatcr on a wagon by several persons
and by them placed in u catch basin ut the
corner of Evanston avenue and Fifty-ninth
street , Luke View , whore it was discovered
May 27 , IbbO.
"That the ovldenco shows conclusively
to all minds that a plot or conspiracy was
formed by a number of persons for the purpose -
pose of murdering the said Cronln and con
cealing his body. Bald plot or coasplraoy
was deliberately contrived and cruelly
executed , iyo
" 7. Wo have carefully inquired Into the re
lations sustained by nald Cronln to other
persons while alive , to asccrUin if no. had
any quarrels or enmities , with any person ,
sufficient to cause liU murder
fc . It is our Judgment that no other ) n
or persons except some of these who are , or
who had becD , members nt a certain secret
Eoclety known as the 'United Brotherhood'
d'a.
or Clan iia-Gad , had caunQ to bo. lhe.la.sUga.
tors or executnro of such plot or conspiracy
to murder said Cronln.
"l . Many of the witnesses testifying Innt.
said case havedono so with.much evident ,
unwillingness , and wo believe with much
mental reservation. Wo flnd from the evl
donco that a number of persons wore par-
tics to the plot and the conspiracy to mur
der said Cronln. nnd that Daniel Coughlln ,
Patrick O. Sullivan , Alexander Sullivan , and.
ono Woodruff , alias BJucH , were either
principals or accessories , or had guilty
knowledge of said plot and conspiracy to
inurdor said Cronln and conceal his body ,
nnd should bo hold W nnfrfror to the grand
Jury. Wo also bellovo thnt other persona
iuki . engaged in tM . , Wet or had guilty
knowledge of It , and nliojjld bo apprehended
and hold to the grand Jury.
. Wo further state that this plot , or con
spiracy ) , in its conception nnd execution , Is
ono of the most foul and brutal that over
came to our knowledge , hud wo recommend
that ; the proper authorities offer a large re
ward for the discovery and apprehension of
nil these onpagod in it iu nny way.
"Wo further state that in ourJudgmcnt | all
secret societies whoso objects are such as
the ovldonco shows that of the 'Clan-na-
Gaol' or 'United Brotherhood' to bo , are not
in harmony with and are injurious to Amor-
can Institutions.
"Wo hope that future vigor nnd vlcllanco
by the police force will nioro than compen
sate for past neglect by a portion ot the force

SULLIVAN IN MUnnnilEH's HOW. *
Alexander Sullivan's arrest was effected
without the slightest trouble. Before the
verdict was read in public , Coroner Hertz
emerged for a moment from the room In
which the jury was in ses
sion. Ho beckoned to an * officer and
handed him a inlUlmus. The oftlccr , with
a comrade , hurriedly loft the city hall and
Jumping Into u carriage drove straight to the
residence of Mr. Sullivan on Oak street. Mr.
Sullivan had gene to , bed a short tlmo pre
vious , but after the object of the officers was
explained nnd the information given that ho
would not bo permitted any tlmo for nny pur
pose , ho promptly and quickly dressed and
unhesitatingly accompanied his visitors.
The prisoner's domcaunr was calm through
out the cntlro proceeding. Entering the
carriage which had brought the olUcors , the
trio were driven to the afilcc of thu county
jail. After the usual preliminaries Mr. Sul
11 van was taken , through the cage into the
gloomy prison itself. The ox-prcsidont of
the Irish National League of America was
then Immediately incarcerated In cell No. 25 ,
In the tier known as "murderer's row. "
Two. Arrests in New Yorlc.
NEW YOIIK , Juno 11. Acting upon instruc
tions from Chicago , Police Inspector Byrnes
to-day caused the arrest of John
Maronoy and Charles McDonald , two
man whom ho has been shadowing
for suspected complicity in the murder of Dr.
Cronln. The men are now at police head
quarters and will bo hold to await the ar
rival of officers from Chicago. These men
have been shadowed by Byrnes' men for
some time past , and yesterday the Inspector
received a dispatch from Chicago ,
signed by States Attorney Longnecker
and Chlof of Police Hubbard , asking for
"
their arrest. i
The man Maronoy is John D. Maroney , n
dry goods merchant. iHo has been a promi
nent llguro In Irish affairs * for many yours ,
especially in the land league. Ho often
spoke publicly against the use
of violence in behalf of Ireland.
Very llttlo Is known of McDonald.
Both prisoners were taken before Inspector
Bvrnos iu the afternoon. They denied any
knowledge of the crimov They admitted they
were members of the IClan-na-Gael. Im
mediately after the prisoners' arrest they
were taken to the Tombs -polico court. They
will be held for murder , in accordance with
the instructions given Inspector Byrnes
from Chicago. ,
An evening pqper prints this or Maronoy :
"Ho resided onco. inilihHadqlphia. Ho was
eventually couipolledito leave that city , and
since that tlmo has been- understood to
have performed missions of a private
nature in connection with the Olan-
na-Gaol. On the occasion of the queen's
jubilee , n few years ago , Maroney was
one of ft number oi-men who went to Eng
land with the funds of a revolutionary or
ganization for the avoSyed purpose ol blow
ing up several public buildings. Maronoy
blow up nothing , and two of his companions
were arrested. Maronoy has never had any
regular business , but was generally well
supplied with money. Ono of the charges
made against Sullivan's administra
tion was that S700 of the funds of the Clan-
na-Gaol wont into the men's furnishing
business , which Maronoy carried on in Phil
adelphia , nnd in wb.io.li ho failed. Maronoy
was ono of the men. who before Crontn's body
was found in the sewer , was most pronounced
in the opinion that the , doctor had not met
with foul play , but h4d loft Chicago to avoid
the disgrace resulting from some scandal with
whioh ho was professionally connected.

The Horror Not Diminished.
JOHNS-TOWN , Pa. , Juno 11. This is the last
day for clearing away It e effects of the Hood
by the civil authorities. To-morrow the
state takes hold , and all work done after
to-day will bo under the supervision of Ad
jutant-General Hastings. One of the first
things to bo done by General Hastings will
bo the discharge of 800 policemen now doing
duty hero. It has been decided that they
should not bo paid out of the relief fund , but
that the county whoso sheriff deputized
them , should pay for their services. Sonio
persons look for trouble from this source.
All the men employed by Booth nnd Flynn
will bo paid off to-day nnd discharged and
transportation furnished for as many as do
not wish to work for the state.
A more cheerful and hopeful feeling prevails -
vails and is daily increasing , and work all
over the valley is being pushed to-day with
vigor. The horror of the situation has notrdl-
mlnishcdbut grows. The search for the dead
continues , and iu nil sections and directions
bodies are being found. A number of bodies
are no w"coming to the surface of the waters ,
and these whoso work has made them com
petent judges , say as many moro bodies as
have been found are lylug somowhero.
Notwithstanding this is the twelfth day
since the flood , most of the newspaper corre
spondents are still without slcopine accom
modations of any kind , and * as on the first
day are sleeping in barns , brick kilns and
other places without cots or blankets. Cots
have been sent , they are told , but so mo one
else gets them. The supply of provisions is
Improving some , nnd they now manage
to get ono , and sometimes two
fair meals daily. The provis
ions sent to this valley don't scoui
to have reached the right places. A number
of carloads of all kinds of supplies have been
sent to Morrollvillo , nnd as there was no
damage done there by the flood this stuff has
been misapplied. A prominent citizen of
Morrollvillo said this morning : "There is a
largo class of people here who have not Iqst
a thing in the flood , yet every arriving train
finds them in line ready to receive a share.
It is safe to say thcso people have secured
enough provisions to last them six months ,
and clothing cnouch to last flvo years. .
After to-day the commissary departments
will bo lu charge of Col. Spangler , assistant
quartermaster-general , with three assistants.
There will bo two post commissaries nnd
and eleven district commissaries , the latter
in charge ot lieutenants of the National
GuardK Their duty will bo to llnd out all the
needy , and .to make a list of them and to
make requisitions on the quartermaster-gen
eral for provisions and to distribute the
same as fust as possible. It is the intention
to induce the citizens to take hold and as soon
as possible the entire commissary depart
ment wlll-bo.turned over to them.
But two bodies have been rcceivcdeot the
Fourth ward morgue up to noon to-day and
it is qulto likely.that alter to-day no bodies
will bo taken to any of the morgues because
of the bad state in which they are found.
There is now but little attempt at identifica
tion.
tion.Tho
The impending change in the control of
the town , the exodus of workmen and flood
survivors nnd the steady "rain have com
bined to make Johnston moro quiet to-day.
At all headquarters work has bnen narrowed
down to the finest possible calibre and a
good many faithful men are getting the rest
they needed long ago. To-morrow Mr. Scott
throws do\vn the reins of government and
Adjutant-General Hastings takes hold. At
least $100,000 will bo paid out to workjncn
to-morrow morning and the most
of it will leave town with men
who earned It. The new leaders claim n
number of plans nro to bo introduced
by which the work of cleaning up the wreck
age and caring for the survivors will be
greatly systematized. The military will bo
retained.
Good progress was made in cleaning out
the channel of the Coneinaugh above the
bridge to-dav. A number of stationary en
gines and long cables nro being used to pull
out the heavy timbers.
The morgues nro about to bo abandoned on
account of the bad condition of the bodies
being recovered. Identification is almost
impossible unless by the personal effects
found on the bodies. The state board of
health still issues encouraging bulletins , al
though Isolated cases of pneumonia , diph
theria and measles are loportcd , generally
from the suburbs.
The spirit of recovery took n firm hold on
tno citizens of Johnstown to-day. Every
where owners of property were hard at
work clearing out the collars , drying carpets ,
and bedding , and inaugurating a general
renovation.
General Hastings this evening said : "Tho
work of clean Ing the city will -bo done bv
contract , and negotiations will bo opened at
once with the leading contractors. Several
may bo employed , but I can not say who will
get the work ut this time. Until the com
mission Is appointed Scott has volunteered
his services , nnd will render all .assistance
in his power.
OQuartcrmustor Baker started out four men
to canvass Johnstown proper in order to clas
sify these needing provisions. To-night the
men turned in 1,187 names and the city was
not nearly all visltod. Baker says u surpris
ing umouut of need was unearthed. A great
manv ladles were found whoso families were
really suffering who had fulled through a
sense of delicacy , to apply for aid. Thu hu
mility of Booking relief is removed by the
system now bnlng introduced. It Is the ex
pectation th nt the food and clothing which
has been going in largo lots to undeserving
persons will now go to the moro respectable
and retiring class. T. J , Oliver , of Pniladol-
pliln , who is In charge of the store house
establishment la the Gorman Catholic
church said :
"Twenty carloads of provisions and cloth
ing were unloaded there to-day. Enough
clothing is arriving In Johnstown to supply
the city for twenty years. "
Thirty-eight bodies were recovered to-day ,
all of them being in an advanced state of de
composition. In one or two instances maggots
gets were at worlc on them and thu flesh was
so soft that extreme care was necessary lest
.the IInibs bo torn from the trunks.
This afternoon the body of Miss C. Jy
Christman , a foreign missionary from Now
Orleans , who was on the fated day express ,
was found , Her body was embalmed and
placed In u handsome casket to await the
disposition of friends , She was a woman of

a light brown dress with braided front.

KANSAS Cixr , Mo. , Juno 11. [ Special Tel

asi important arrest horc , to day , In the per
son of Mlko Mulhall , suspected of bomg ono
of n gang of minors who robbed the Aspen
Smelting & .Iron company right and loft , n
few months ago. The company , last fall ,
struck a rich vein of silver ore in ono of
their mines near Aspen , Colorado. The flnd
was a very valuable ono , pure nuggets of
silver bolng taken out of the ore. But some
how the mluo did not yield as well us the
owners thought It should , nnd the Pinker-
tons were employed to find out what was the
matter.
After some Investigation the detectives
concluded that the company was being
robbed by its employes. Accordingly an
operative was sent Into the mluo under the
guise ot a minor. Ho soon found that ton of
the minors had organized for plunder and
were carrying the pure silver out of the mluo
in their clothing. .In January thu members
of the gang were arrested nnd in
dicted for the robbery. While they were
being searched In the sheriff's ofilco , Mulhall
escaped unnoticed In the crowd which hud
gathered , and a Plnkcrton man placed on his
track located him flvo weeks ago at Omaha.
From there ho followed him successively to
Kansas City , Minneapolis Omaha , St. Louts ,
and back again to Kansas City. Monday
night ho was located in n boarding house m
this city , and this morning Detective Web-
bnr arrested him m Hico's marble yard nt
Sovontcoutn and Main street , whore ho had
been.employed for the past four days. As
the arrest was made on a federal warrant ,
Mulliall was taken to Aspen to-night with
out a requisition.
The engineers of the mines estimate that
the gang robbed the company of $30,000
worth of Hllvor in a few mouths. Mullhall's
accomplices are awaiting trial M Aspon.

CHICAGO , Juno 11. ( Special Telegram to

made an official announcement that it will
conform to the ruling of Iho executive board
of the Inter-state Commerce Hallway associ
ation and turn over to its competitors all its
ivo stock traftle for Missouri river points ex
cept two train loads n week.
The announcement mr.kcs interesting read
ing , nnd is as follows : "The St. Paul road
considers that the mainstay of the Presi
dent's agreement is the provision for giving
some business to weaker lines , which can not
obtain it against stronger ones on maintained
rates , nnd it certainly will not discourage
this llrst attempt in that direction by fatluro
to co-operate. In this particular case their
view is that it might have been adjusted seas
as to produce less hazard of criticism , and
bolter results in rates on the general traffic ,
but this is a matter of Judgment which arbl-
trillion governs. It now remains to bo soon
whether rates can bo maintained on a fair
basis on recourse to this last resort. If they
can , it will uo justified , and a trial is well
worthy some sacrifice from the stronger
lines. "
The reference to the Alton in the first sen
tence will hardlyhavo a tendency to heal the
rapidly widening breach between some of the
lines in the Ititcr-stato Commerce Railway

BKI : . ] Interesttfpjallrqad ma tors ullccting
northern Wyoming has boon revived by the
arrival here , to-day , of Mr. S. M. Briscoo ,
of Junction City , Mont. , who came through
from the Northern "Pacific by private con
veyance o n business in the interest of Paul
McCoriniclc , one of the incorporators and
chiuf spirits of the Big Horn & Soutncra
lallway company. This railroad company
was incorporated on the 21th of last January ,
with a capital stock of § 500.000 , Eli D. Ban
nister , Paul McCormlok , Wilbor F. Sanders ,
Thomas C. Power and Albert J. Soligman ,
some of them prominent as Montana capital
ists , and all identified with the Northern Pa
cific , being the incorporators. It was stated
in the articles that the object of the company
was to construct and operate a railroad from
a point in Yellowstone county , Montana ,
through the counties of YolioWstono , in
Montana , and Sheridan and Johnson , in
Wyoming , to the mouth of Hock creek , two
miles northeast of Buffalo. Subsequently ,
congress granted the company the right of
way across the Crow Indian reservation , nnd
the war department issued a similar permit
with regard to the Fort Custer , Mont. , mili
tary reserve.
The company announced Its Intention to
commence the work of construction by April
1. and when that time arrived and no indica
tions appeared in support of the announce
ment , public opinion branded the whole af
fair as a right-of-way sohomo. Mr. Briscoo ,
however , brings news to the effect that a
corps of surveyors were to have begun work
on the line yesterday , with Instructions to at
once prepare the way for construction , and
says that the company will build und equip
the road this fall as fur as the Crow agency ,
a distance of fifty miles south from the
Northern Pacific. This will place the cen
ter of this rich stock-raising and agricultural
country within u hundred miles of railway
communication , and the Big Horn & South
ern company will endeavor to divert the
heavy business of Johnson county , hereto
fore controlled by the Fremont , Elkhorn &
Missouri Valley rflad , to the northern com
mercial artery , having fifty miles the best
of the situation.
