The Southern Pacific Company will
at once begin the work of Improving
the KiiKLMie depot yards, whlsh has
been In contemplation for Bevernl
years past. Thirty-two head of mules
to be used In tho work nrrived here
this afternoon and were taken to tho
Kngeno Transfer Company's barns nt
Tenth and Willamette streets, where
they will be quartered while at work
here.
Contractor O'Neill, who will have
charKJ of the work, was In the city
Sunday and made arrangements for
tho keeping of the mules. He left
for tho north on the evening train
and was expected back this after
noon, but ho failed to arrive. AVlille
here yesterday, however, he gave out
enough Information as to the plans
of the company in regard to the rear
rangement of the yards and the im
provements to be made so that the
Cluard Is able to give a general out
line ofllio work.
According to the statements of Con
tractor O'Neill the sidetrack north of
the depot will be extended west to
Lincoln street, or over a block In dis
tance; a new track for passing trains
will be built between this sidetrack
and tho main track, and the other
tracks will be improved and proba
bly lengthened. The grounds will
bo filled In all over the yards and ev
erything done preparatory to the
erection of a new passenger depot
this spring. While theito Is no direct
information nt hand, It Is believed'
that the work of building the de
pot will begin as soon as the track
improvements are completed. As be
fore staled by the Ciuard, the depot
will be located about where S. H.
l'"rlendly's warehouse now stands and
all warehouses will bo removed lo tho
north side of the tracks. When this
work is completed there will be no
iro delays on account of freight '

Tho Westminster Gazette says that
nothing but regret is felt thut nny
dllllcully has arisen between Gover
nor Sweetenliam and Admiral Davis,
and assures the United States that
Kngland deeply appreciates America's
generosity and sympathy.
Governor Sweetenhnm's action is
considered inexplicable at the foreign
olllce. Mention is made of the In
consistencies in the governor's letter
and It Is declared that the most char
itable view Is that the governor was
overwrought by tho great nervous
strain. OhTclals of the colonial of
fice express themselves In a similar
manner. It is learned that the In
cident between Sweetenliam and the
ndmrVal is not the only one which
tins arisen, as It now develops that
the activities of Sir Alfred Jones In
relieving the situation have given
the governor the idea thnt Sir Al
' fred sought to tnko tho whole matter

tho departurecof the American war

Ix-gglng him to remain, and a relief
committee, headed by Archbishop

Washington, Jan. 21 From o'll-
clal sources it is learned time no at
tention will be paid by this govern
ment to the action of Governor
Sweetenliam asking Admiral Davis to
withdraw Ills forces from Kingston.
It Is held here that the act of the
governor is that of a single individ
ual for which the British government
Is In no manner to be bold responsible.
