I I'wcti.am, June 18 Superintendent
Baxter, of the Union Pacific system, in
, making every exertion to have the line
of road in hia division anain in com-
J plcte running order at an early day. 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. Great preparations
are being being made for the National
Republican League convention, which
meets at Denver the 26th inst, Presi
gent Harrison, Governor McKinley, and
ex-seiiker Peed have leen invited, and
delegates from the respective states are
bringing every pressure to hear iiKn
them to accompany their Siecial traiiiB.
Senators Cameron, Lodge and Jones will
probably attend. Among the prominent
speakers who have accepted invitations
are :
General R. A. Alger, General Clark-
son, General Hastings. Whitelaw Reid,
John Spooner, John M. ThurBton, A. B
t'umtnings and Frank J. Cannon.
Secial trains will be run from Boston,
Jew Yoik, Philadelphia, Baltimore,

cago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, XhhIi

mates the attendance from 2000 to 5000.
After the convention adjourns, the dele
gates will pass a few days on a tour
through the mountains of Colorado, in
cluding the mining regions, before they

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. E i-Minuter ! helpe' Death.

The Attorneys to Prove the Stock

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. The
total amount for the three roads, includ
ing the interest, is $171,006,K!7.70. 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, '

Pobtland, June 17. Next week, Toes

other questions proper to come before

republican clubs, and ia in that respect
better organized than many other states.
These clubs have recently helped to
achieve a victory that will certainly be

convention. To be a delegate to that
great body, consisting of upwards of
2000 leading republicans from every
state in the Union, will be both an honor
and a pleasure, especially to those com
