A ; lorce of over CoO men are work lietween 1 Bonneville ami Cascade Locks, building 1 anew line of roadway. At pointa along i i lie old rou'e the river haa cut the ((round away, clone to the mountain aide, and in audi localitiea the irreuteat amount of new work haa to be done. An immenae quantity of powder and dynamite will be uaed in blurting away the aide of the mountain ao that a good roadbed can be eatabliahed, and a new track laid a con aiderable dixctance aouth of the old line of track. It ia a dillicult matter to keep the various camHi in aupplies at preaent. Everything required has to be taken overland from Bonneville on the backs of men, acroaa the mountain, as the bribes are all out. Ow ing to the diffi culties of such a trip, but amall loadacan be carried at a time and a large number of men are kept thus employed. It ia exiected that repairs on the road w ill lie completed as far east as Bonne ville toni(ht, and trains for freight and paaaenjiers between Portland and that point, and all intermediate stations, w ill begin running tomorrow morning. Trams will leave Portland Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, until further notice, returning the day tollow ing. It isexpeeted that trains will be run to Cascade Locks in ten days. The water has none down ao that men have been able to i!0 over the line for some distance eaat of Bonneville. '1 hey report a pretty bad condition of affairs. The grade has been entirely washed aw ay in numerous places, many of the filled bridges have gone out, and at places large sections of track have disappeared. The work of repairing will be commenced at once, and pushed vigorously to completion New and heavy rails will be used in lay ing the entire track. It is hoped that trains will be run through to The Dalles in about three weeks. Sepsblloan Meeting at Dearer. Caicaoo, June 17.

Aa Aiarohlit Plot Washington, June 17. A dispatch to a morning paper says a newspaper here will publish tomorrow an exposure of a plot, which had for itB object the destruc tion of the cspitol and, perhaps, other government buildings, and which had been slowly developing for several weeks. The secret service and police authorities, however, have been kept informed of the movements of the plotters, and would have been able to have thwarted them had their machinations apprehended act ual violence. Only once, says the news paier, three weeks atto, when the channel of Information was unexpectedly interrupted, were the federal and district authorities really alarmed. They did not know at what moment an attempt might be made to explode bombs in the capitol, the treasury building, white house, and the war and navy building. But as the day passed and nothing was done, the authorities, who had redoubled their vigilance, restored the line of communi cation with the appearance of an anar chist, and were able to again shadow every conspirator and keep fully informed of anarchistic moves both here and else where.

The Attorneys to Prove the Stock holders (inllly of a Preach of Trmt. New Yobk, Juno 17. The Herald's Washington special saya: "The attorney-general has definitely determined to enter suit against the Union Pacific Bnd Kansas Pacific railways jointly and the Central Pacific to recover the amount of the bond which are guaranteed by the government, together with accrued in terest at 6 ier cent for 30 years.

Attorney-General Olney transmitted Satur day to Assistant Attorney Russell, until recently connected with the French spoliation claims, several document connected with the railroad cases, with the statement that they were to be filed with the suits. The Union and the Pacific suit will be filed in Washington and the other in San Francisco. All that remains now is to discover availa ble avenues for testimony to prove the government's points. Attorney Russell is engaged day and night on the cases. The method of procedure of the govern ment will be to endeavor to prove that the original stockholders of the roads have been guilty of a breach of trust. The contracts with the government re quired that certain percentage of the earnings of the roads should be set aside for a sinking fund to be applied to the payment of the debts to the government which has not been done. If the courts sustain the position taken by the govern ment's attorney, the misapplied funds will be recovered wherever they may be fonnd. This will make the ramifications of the cases more intricate than in any case of like nature in the history of the country The time of filing the suits ' depends solely on the time that will be required for the government to supply itself with the required sources of testi mony, ' Xatioaal Kepibllcaa League.
